Chapter 897: Something Must Have Gone Wrong!

“Just push her over!”

Though that was what he said.

Still, he had to admit that useless Zuo Zuo had actually done something right this time.

Having cold water poured over him from head to toe hadn’t been pleasant, but compared with getting lewd with the beloved Alice, it was acceptable. Still, it really was strange.

He admittedly had little willpower and often played nasty jokes on girls, but they were only jokes. (Zuo Zuo was the exception. She had to get the full treatment.) Just like back when he spent time with Miss Puppet, he had been able to resist even the temptations of an ascetic. He had even managed to dispel the Cursed Arts Doll Mistress had deliberately inscribed on her back to stir up desire...

So why had his desires suddenly become so difficult to control lately?

Had he really become a pervert?

Lynn pondered.

When he carefully considered everything that had happened lately, he had been perfectly able to control himself, even before and after he had trained and subdued the Mechanical Girl underground.

But if he had been in the state he was in now back then... he was sure he wouldn’t have been able to stop himself from giving her one, machine or not.

So when exactly had this started?

Somehow, without realizing it, he seemed to have become more and more corrupted.

For example.

He knew perfectly well that the brain had no gender, yet he had still gradually corrected it until it became a girl...

He knew perfectly well that he shouldn’t feel any desire for Yin Yi, yet he still couldn’t resist teasing her...

He knew perfectly well that the little Eye Loli was his own eyeball, yet he still couldn’t resist making a Deal with her...

He knew perfectly well that Zuo Zuo didn’t want to, yet he still... (That one didn’t count. Making the lazy Left Hand return to her old line of work was his consistent and unequivocal policy. It was perfectly normal at any time and needed no explanation.)

And now there was Alice...

Lynn’s brows drew together slightly.

Something was wrong!

Very wrong!

This definitely wasn’t what Zuo Zuo was always muttering about, some “flexible moral standards.” He knew that his morals had always been perfectly normal. Just like “lolicon,” that was nothing but Zuo Zuo’s malicious slander. And even if it were true, wasn’t this happening far too often?

So many cute girls around him in such a short time...

It made him feel as if...

In an instant,

Lynn froze.

Could it be...

“The Crying... Clown...”

When those words appeared in his mind, he felt as if his blood had turned ice-cold.

His brows furrowed tightly.

He had always meant to stay alert to it, yet he had still unconsciously let himself forget it existed.

Just like the first time it acted up. Even though he had been on his guard from the very beginning, he had still gradually become abnormal without noticing. The change had been so subtle that he hadn’t even realized anything was wrong before he had been completely transformed...

And when he first met the Matriarch, she had helped him suppress that Clown.

But he had also learned something quite clearly at the time.

If the first wave of the curse made you extremely insane and self-absorbed, then the second wave constantly magnified the desires in your heart! When the Matriarch suppressed the Clown’s counterattack, he had nearly lost control in an instant and turned into a beast. He had even wanted to assault the Matriarch herself...

(Click here to jump to Chapter 273.)

He stared blankly ahead.

The Seal suppressing the Crying Clown had only been broken by the overwhelming desire when he and the Desire Mother Tree had been frantically unleashing Desire Strikes against each other...

It had even acted up once more after that.

But since it hadn’t affected his Will too much at the time, he hadn’t paid it much attention... But he had clearly asked the Matriarch to place a new Seal on the Crying Clown not long after returning to Nightfall City!

Lynn’s brows furrowed tightly.

“Something must have gone wrong...”
