Hellbents
Chapter 106: Two Entities
Although Ava had experienced this before, it did not mean that she could get used to it. Because of her stiff body, Ava's body was pounding hard in the bathtub.
His throat was blocked and could not make a sound. So that, even though his body feels scattered, rearranged, then reunited, Ava can only be silent.
He didn't even know if he was breathing.
All of his senses were dead, flooded with pain.
Ava was not aware that in the midst of all the pain, she fainted.

"See you're good friends with my fiancee."
Suddenly Ava was in the room she had occupied for the past few weeks, Eve's room. On the other hand, his dopplegangger was already comfortably seated on a sofa facing a window framing a bright blue sky.
Can you change the landscape of this domain at will? Ava almost asked impulsively. But he knows that's not his priority.
"Why do you want me to take your place as a princess?" Finally Ava decides to confront Eve about the girl's true objectives.
At first glance, the corner of Eve's lips lifted, but in a flash it disappeared. "I thought you wanted to play with the cats for a little longer."
In this situation, being straightforward is tantamount to showing weakness. And both of them clearly did not intend to submit first. However, the dignity of a princess from birth is different from the orphan survival instinct forged in the world since childhood, so Ava prefers to pursue targets whose goals she already knows, so she prefers, that way they will be more easily caught. "Marvin himself said that you prepared the contract when you left, which means 4 months ago. While my existence in this dimension is still 2 months."
"So to urge me out while limiting my next move when using your presence, you give a contract range of only up to 9 months calculated from the date of signing."
"Contracting without a period of time is tantamount to slavery, Edodale has abolished the curse system, right?"
This time Eve blatantly revealed her curved, comforted line of eyes.
"But it's a pity, because I know my own personality, that's what I expected. So 9 months is more than enough."
Ava's left eye twitched. His wide smile contrasted with the various visible words he uttered. He should have chosen 3 months. No, it's better if Ava doesn't agree to the contract at all. Unfortunately regret always comes too late, there is no way out. "Is this funny to you?"
Eve was more interested in other topics. "By the way, aren't you busy with a new project? The explosion a few days ago?"
Seeing that Eve still had not completely explained her motives, Ava gave up for a while. Free to persuade people who have a head. After all, Ava also needed the direction of Eve, the original genius alchemist, to solve this problem. "Did your father often tell you to do forced labor like this?"
"Well, a fool often knows no bounds to his incompetence" Eve can easily insult her parents without blinking. Fortunately for Ava, her dopplegangger continued, "You still remember my secret lab at Crimsonwood? Try it there."
"So you're hiding an unpublished innovation and can help me out there?"
Eve just smiled.
