BXBX NOVEL Chapter 260 Bite Hard On It
Tilting her head, she concluded. "At least give me something to die for without regrets."
"I owe you no explanation nor are you in the right position to ask that of me now." Nix sneered and pulled her by the hair in irritation.
"Aren't you dying to know the 'why'? I for one would like to satisfy your curiosity." Nix said with a smirk the moment he diverted the topic to the previous conversation.
Ayanami winced at the pain and with her hands, held down her hair from her scalp to counter the pull.
Going behind her, he went on one knee and wrapped his arms around her neck, and whispered into her ear, "remember all the atrocities you had committed?"
Ayanami thought back to what he could be referring to, that wasn't a direct question she could readily remember.
Nix clicked his tongue to how oblivious she was, "your reaction could only mean that you are trying to sieve out through the numerous atrocities that you had committed."
Ayanami shook her head while tears trailed down her eyes, she dreaded having her neck snapped without a warning, to her that was the worse death case scenario.
"I never liked you and your presence disgusts me. What you did back in the academy is unforgivable." He hissed.
Ayanami's heart pounded and her breath hitched, the suspense was eating deep into her sanity when Nix repeatedly hesitated to kill her but his grip only tightened.
"I was foolish and manipulated, but I have gotten wiser." She tried to defend her actions.
"How about you say that to Mrs. Neider, Fae?!" Nix pulled back on her neck.
Ayanami gasped and struggled to bring up her hands to claw at his arm but couldn't, 'what the heck is going on?!'
<It's best you follow the plan like you had repeated to me, human!> Raiken hissed.
<He's right, it's best to get this over with, we need our freedom> Red added.
Releasing his grip on Ayanami and coldly watching her fall face first to the floor.
"Would you like to atone for your actions?" He reluctantly offered.
Ayanami pushed herself up once more and glared at him for asking such a question when he could already guess her answer.
A twisted smirk spread on his cheeks.
"Open your mouth..."
Ayanami did a double take on the word, "Excuse me?"
'Real smooth." Obsidian rolled his eyes and tried to maintain a straight face.
"Are you willing to or not?" Nix questioned impatiently, folding his arms.
Ayanami gawked at him in disbelief for a brief second before going along with what he had requested.
"Ahhh~" She made an 'o' with her lips. Internally she continually questioned why she needed to do this in front of Nix and the quiet one at a good distance away.
Nix had a smile and grinned from ear to ear to the feeling he got from her action. It felt very satisfying to have her in such a position and also under his jurisdiction.
Rubbing his palms together, his eyes were hooded. "Stick out your tongue."
Ayanami whipped her head to stare at him in shock. Unable to contain it, she exclaimed, "are you kidding me?!"
She felt a force push her to submission.
"F-fine!" She muttered and stuck her tongue out.
Nix nodded his head, "now bite hard on it."
Ayanami stared at him in horror and drew back her tongue, "please, no!"
Realization suddenly came knocking in on her senses and she trembled at how sick that sounded. The feeling of reluctance could not describe how she was feeling.
"You would atone for your sins by losing that vile tongue of yours!" Nix declared and looked dead serious with his verdict.
He was going to make her endure the humiliation and pain before he would enact his real plan later when they crossed paths once more.
"I would do anything, do you want me to cut off a limb? Chop off my hair? I change to a reptile and you rip out my scales? A bird and you pluck out my feathers? A mammal and you rip out my hairs?" She blabbered with trembling limbs.
Her body shook with so much energy that she coughed out involuntarily.
Shaking his head at her offer, he folded his arms and insisted on her going through with his words.
If she bit on her tongue, the damage could leave her in unspeakable pain and struggle in speaking.
Nix on the other hand had thought of a plan to prevent her from speaking as soon as she had carried out his task and could only wait till his patience expired.
He had meant to reveal his identity since the moment he took over from where Obsidian left off.
Ayanami hyperventilated in front of him, opening her mouth to manually take in air.
Aligning her tongue to the bottom row of teeth, she hesitated and her eyes pleaded to be let off the hook.
[Passive gift in effect]
[Telekinetic dome activated]
Covering her head with it, he watched as Ayanami struggled for breath, she reached out to him with a shaky vision.
"I will do it!" She managed to say in a whisper, just enough to be released from her torture.
[Telekinetic dome deactivated]
After realizing it was futile in trying to appeal, she prepared her mind for the act.
Kk!
"Ahhh!" Ayanami let out a shriek in pain and dropped to the floor on her side writhing in pain.
None of it mattered to Nix as he watched for what seemed like a few moments.
Getting on one knee so he could directly look at her at a closer angle, he hissed at her. "Your tongue might heal if you prove your loyalty to the organization and get healed by Sesa or I could help out soon enough."
Ayanami was too self-centered on the pain and her wailing with blood trailing down the corner of her lips, she failed to realize his presence.
[Gaseous Flame manipulation]
[Ability to a create gust of combustible air]
When a gust of hot air brushed on her, she raised her head only to be grabbed in the neck by Nix.
"I can't let you spill," Nix begins with a little briefing alongside a grin.
Focusing on the heat signatures on her throat, holding her in place by the neck, he sped up the heat and kept on till it was satisfied with the result.
Obsidian watched the sickening scene and was beyond shocked at what Nix could do with his gift. His mouth gaped open as he tried to keep an eye on where the plan would take them.
Deactivating his gift's manipulation, he let go of Ayanami. "Do you have anything to say?"
Ayanami glared at him, knowing the word was dipped in sarcasm. There was no need to tell her what had gone wrong.
Her throat stung and hurt whenever she tried to speak.
'You freaking bastard!' She raged in her thoughts after coming to terms that she couldn't speak.
Nix raised his hands in surrender, "I can bet you just cursed at me, those eyes speak volumes."
Quickly switching to his serious demeanor, he pulled her by the chin and leaned forward for a closer inspection.
"You are nothing more than an animal who shouldn't be taught how to speak. Be a bearable little pet." He belittled with a warning, "if you do try to seek help, your throat would suffer yet another burn. It would turn out fine if you secretly work for me."
Ayanami could only glare at him and feel numb to the pain from her tongue. The feeling of crying was quickly gaining in on her and she sniffled.
"Do you accept your fate?" Nix mocked with a stoic expression.
'Like I have a choice here.' Ayanami sarcastically thought and rolled her eyes.
"If there is as much as trying to take refuge in anyone, you die an untimely death, all I hope is you have someone who will genuinely mourn over your corpse," Nix concluded.
While he had thought through the perfect way to make her mute and behaved, he had also made sure she stays within her bounds and could do his bidding when the need arises.
After they depart from the organization, they would need someone who would be their eyes and ears. The pendant was merely a tool used to get a bit of this information, but a living one was much more resilient in the job required.
"In exchange for any new, useful information you report on, a fraction of your throat would heal." He added.
Ayanami's eyes brightened up on the hope that presented itself. Reluctantly, she gave a nod to his proposal.
Getting to his feet, he was ready for phase two of his plan, it had been one he had not envisaged using on others.
Calling on his character status, he read through it quickly in the hopes of spotting what needed to be augmented.

Internally facepalming at the points he had garnered, the diminished energy point reserve, and the lack of experience points, he was visibly disappointed that he had used more than he bargained for.
Letting out a sigh and rubbing his forehead to calm his nerves, he proceeded to focus his attention by calling on the status he needed–the inventory.
