The Incubus System Chapter 799. Unlucky Night

After our discussion about Jill, it was time to make her as comfortable as possible. Mrs. Clea and Celia took charge of bathing her. They gently coaxed Jill into the bathroom, reassuring her every step of the way.

As for me, they swiftly kicked me out of the house, insisting that I go buy a few sets of clothes for Jill. I nodded in agreement before making my exit. However, it wasn't a simple trip to a nearby clothing store. Since it was late and most stores were closed, I decided to utilize my portal for some speedy shopping.

Using my Camouflage skill, I transformed my appearance into that of an adult mom, hoping to avoid any misunderstandings or odd looks. With my new disguise in place, I opened a portal to a bustling shopping district abroad.

The foreign marketplace was alive with colorful stalls and shops, and I quickly browsed through racks of children's clothing, keeping Jill's size in mind. I selected a variety of outfits, from comfortable pajamas to casual daywear, ensuring that she would have options for different occasions.

Returning to my house with the bag of clothes and underwear, I immediately sought out Celia. She was already in Jill's room, preparing for her to get settled for the night. I handed over the bag, and Celia gave me a grateful nod, understanding the effort I had put into ensuring Jill's comfort.

With that taken care of, I had a pressing matter on my mind. I needed to address some politicians on my list, those who were potential senators in the Angel Creation project.

Tonight, however, didn't seem to be my lucky night. Out of the four candidates, only one turned out to be genuinely a senator. The other three, though unethical in their political practices, were not directly involved in the Angel Creation project. Still, their actions had to be corrected, and that's where my Mind Corruption skill came into play.

I set to work, delving into their thoughts and planting seeds of change. It was a delicate process, making sure they realized their mistakes and the consequences of their actions. I couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration, especially when dealing with an official from the Aeros Republic. This particular individual had manipulated tax policies, directly affecting me and countless others.

Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a deep concern for Jill's well-being, I made a momentous decision. I temporarily halted my pursuit of the senators and instead directed my attention towards the very heart of Eldoria, the residence of its leader.

I delved into the web of information surrounding Jill's mysterious ordeal. What I uncovered was nothing short of a nightmare. The truth was far darker and more sinister than anything I could have anticipated.

The experiment Jill had been subjected to was a twisted and horrifying ordeal. It was a dark chapter in Eldoria's secret history, one that they had desperately tried to keep hidden from the world. The depths of their cruelty and ruthlessness were staggering.

The experiment had begun with a seemingly noble purpose — to provide shelter and care for orphaned children with unique bloodlines. These children were initially taken in with the promise of a better life. But this façade quickly unraveled, revealing the true nature of their plight.

Rather than nurturing these orphans, the government turned them into unwitting subjects of a gruesome experiment. The ultimate objective was to mold them into something beyond mere demon hunters — something far more sinister.

Out of the ten unfortunate souls who were subjected to this nightmarish ordeal, only one managed to survive the brutal trials. Tragically, another perished due to illness, leaving eight of them, including Jill, as failures in the eyes of their merciless captors. They were released back into the world, left to navigate the harsh reality of orphanages and uncertain futures.

The sole success story, the one who had endured the torturous experiments and emerged as a formidable force, was conscripted into the government's service. He was transformed into a weapon, a soldier designed to combat demons. His immense power and unpredictable nature were a cause for concern, as he posed a potential threat to anyone who crossed his path. I couldn't help but wonder if, someday, our paths would inevitably collide. I estimated that the kid should be as strong as the Hound.

Ultimately, the government chose to shut down the experiment. It had not only exacted a devastating human cost but had also drained a significant amount of resources. The chances of successfully replicating their one "success" were deemed too slim, and the experiment was deemed unsustainable.

It was nearing midnight as I quietly returned home. The house was enveloped in an eerie stillness, the only sounds being the faint hum of the air conditioning and the soft snores of my slumbering family.

Celia and Jill had succumbed to the embrace of sleep in the room. I took a moment to check on Jill, her face finally free from the torment that had plagued her throughout the day. With a sigh of relief, I left her to rest.

In my own room, Foxy had already settled into a peaceful slumber, her form curled up comfortably.

Exhaustion washed over me as I removed my clothes and slipped into something more comfortable using my Demon's Clothes ability. The soft, familiar embrace of my bed beckoned me, and without hesitation, I allowed my body to collapse onto the mattress. I knew that Puriel's dream spell awaited me once more. But this time, I welcomed it. I needed to speak with her, to find answers and solace in her ethereal presence.

The moment my eyes closed, I was plunged into a world of white, a blank canvas awaiting the strokes of Puriel's dream spell. It was as though the very fabric of reality had shifted.

Before I could even gather my bearings, Puriel's voice resonated through the emptiness, cutting straight to the chase.

"Welcome back, Ethan," she greeted me, her ethereal presence materializing before me. "Have you spoken to Mia? What did she say?"
