"Safina! Safina... Mr. McClain, what... are you doing to her?"
Ursula looked at her sister lying in a formation, anxiously wanting to get over, but she couldn't even break free from the alchemy doll's arms. After struggling for a few times, she finally turned to look at Maka next to her.
"Don't worry, I told you, Safina is not in danger."
Maka stood at the edge of the rune array with the puppet holding Ursula and Sarah controlling the puppet. Hearing Ursula's question, he still said calmly:
"Actually, I made a deal with your sister. I help you with your disability, I give her some strength, and then I ask her to help me with something—and as you can see, she agreed."
"This...don't you even need to ask me for my opinion?" Ursula heard this and said loudly, "What's wrong with the disability? I've been like this my whole life, and I don't need to change—I don't want to! McClain, you Did you hear that? This deal is invalid, please let Safina go!"
Ursula was even a little hysterical when she said these words. Regardless of the fact that there was Sarah next to her, she used her only remaining good hand to lift her hood and stared straight at Maka.
To be honest, the way she stared at Maka was as terrifying as an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
"Look at me! McClain, I am so ugly! But you know? This is what I am willing to do - I use this appearance in exchange for Safina being able to live a good and happy life... Do you Don’t you think what you’re doing now is a bit putting the cart before the horse?”
"So I won't agree! End this and at least let my sister go, okay... okay... I understand, this is all my fault, can't you let me do this 'deal'? "
As she spoke, Ursula couldn't help but choked again, but her already damaged tear glands couldn't even secrete tears. She just stared at those terrifying eyes, which showed not only anger, but also sadness and pleading.
It's a pity that Maka, who was standing not far away, was still looking at her so calmly. There was no fear or disgust in his eyes that ordinary people would show when they saw Ursula. It was just like when the two of them first met. Same as when we meet.
Then, Maka shook her head gently.
"Sorry, no." He said frankly, "You are not Safina, and you cannot replace her - just like you have awakened the prophetic ability in your blood, but your sister Safina has not. Her soul strength is actually stronger than You are higher. Therefore, she can withstand and accept the power I give you, but you cannot."
"So..." Ursula heard what he said and suddenly said, "So, even without me as a bargaining chip, you will never give up on Safina... Is that right? Because you actually started from the beginning. Are you already targeting her?"
Maka couldn't help but be silent for a moment as she listened, and then finally nodded.
"I really can't deny this."
"you-"
When Ursula heard this, she could no longer maintain even the minimum level of calm. I saw her ignoring her mutilated body and struggling with all her strength, as if she wanted to just jump on Maka and bite him.
Seeing this, Maka had no choice but to wave her backhand, suddenly causing Ursula to faint from the shock of her soul.
"Mike... Ryan..."
At the same time that Ursula fainted, Safina in the center of the formation in front of him suddenly began to tremble slightly. Although she was still unable to move, her consciousness was still clear, and she knew exactly what was happening around her.
"Your sister is too excited, I just let her rest for a while! Don't worry, I will definitely complete what I promised you, and your sister will be fine."
Having said this, Maka suddenly turned to look at Sarah on the other side and said:
"This is Miss Sarah Hohenheim. She can create a complete and suitable body for your sister, and I... will help your sister transfer her soul into her new body. It won't take long, wait. When you successfully master the power I gave you, your sister should be able to come over and give you a hug."
After a while, Maka and Sarah left the back hall again with Ursula who fainted. Maka stood still for a moment outside the closed door, looked at Willy who was already waiting for him outside, and waved:
"Take Ursula to find a room and settle down! Remember to send someone to guard her."
"Okay, Maka."
Willie nodded, took the temporarily unconscious Ursula from the hand of the doll, and walked out step by step. Maka watched her back gradually leave his sight, and then stood still for a while, then turned to look at Sarah who was standing with him next to him and said:
"You said, did I look like a 'bad guy' just now?"
"If you look at it from the surface with common sense, he is definitely a 'bad guy.'" Sarah nodded without hesitation, "And it is a despicable act of using weakness and family affection to coerce a young girl into submission. It is extremely bad. !”
"That seems to be the case," Maka sighed, "What if we look at it from another angle?"
"How do I know?" Sarah shrugged, "I don't know what the 'inside story' is, so I can only look at it from the surface! What do you think?"
"Yeah!" Maka also smiled bitterly, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I am just a despicable villain."
He said this, but still didn't seem to have any intention to explain. He took steps and walked outside. Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, he suddenly felt a slight chill in his left hand - it was Sarah who unexpectedly held his palm.
"When will you start helping me repair my soul? If you don't finish this for me first, I won't help that Ursula make a prosthetic body!"
After Sarah said this, she grabbed his hand and ran out first, jumping up and down as she ran, looking like a real child.
Maka looked at her back with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, but then she shook her head and said as she walked:
"Sarah, right now I just feel like I'm being dragged forward by an old woman pretending to be young - can you understand this feeling?"
"McLean."
When Sarah heard this, she immediately stopped, and then forcefully threw his hand aside. And her face, which had been wearing an innocent smile just now, had now returned to its usual coldness.
"You know there are certain things you can't say to a woman... It's not about anger, it's about taboo."
After that, she turned around and left alone, leaving Maka with a subtle wink on her face.
