Chapter 674: Chapter 565: Taking Care of Wolf Girl

Ever since she was captured, the Wolf Girl had been confined in a special containment facility.

Rinne acted as an assistant for Xu Yang, running errands so that he did not have to do everything himself. He sat in the control room, calling up past recordings to check on the Wolf Girl’s behavior over the past few days.

The room where the Wolf Girl was kept measured 20 square meters and was equipped with a toilet, washbasin, and bed. However, the Wolf Girl had not yet developed the habit of using the indoor toilet, so a female guard had to put a collar around her neck daily and lead her from her cell to a designated area to squat.

Her aggressiveness had always been strong. She did not speak and often expressed her opinions with howls, barks, and punches, and sometimes she would release magic power to transform into a giant wolf, frightening the female guards. Therefore, they requested the implementation of a special "taming" program to somewhat return the Wolf Girl to civilized society.

"Should she be beaten up?" Rinne sent a message to Xu Yang, "Such a Wolf definitely needs to suffer a bit before she’ll obey."

"We need to establish a good relationship with her in order to gain her support and take care of her," Xu Yang instructed.

At lunchtime, Rinne took over the duties of the female guards. Following the instructions of other staff, she put the food through a special window: several fist-sized chunks of juicy roasted lamb, which she placed in a food tray and then slid into the cell.

The Wolf Girl had been lying in the corner sleeping. Her bed, with its white mattress, had never caught her attention—she preferred to sleep on the ground instead. By now, she had learned to expect feeding time and would immediately get up and squat by the food tray to eat the meat with her hands.

Xu Yang noticed she was filthy all over. After finishing her meat, she quickly let out a hoarse and dissatisfied roar, as if wanting more food. The facility always provided insufficient food to prevent the Wolf Girl from consuming enough energy to escape.

Rinne dangled a large piece of roast meat with a hook, swaying it outside the cell door’s barred window, placing it just within the Wolf Girl’s view. She immediately pounced towards it, issuing a raspy roar as her body slammed into the iron door with a clanging sound, using considerable force yet leaving not a single bruise or scratch—her body was extremely robust.

"Growl—Howl!" The Wolf Girl drooled over the roast meat in Rinne’s hand, as if she wanted to go through the wall to get it.

Rinne threw the meat out into the corridor, then opened the door of the cell. The Wolf Girl pushed the door open with force and lay down on the ground to eat the meat, clutching the chunk and tearing at it continuously.

As she indulged in the food, Xu Yang and Rinne could observe her closely. The Wolf Girl had a beautiful, high nose and full lips, with black hair and eyes, and tribal-style bright red horizontal war paint on her face. She was indeed a nimble and beautiful Witch, yet now she lowered her head to gnaw at cooked meat, no different from a wild person.

The female guards had given the Wolf Girl rags for modesty, wrapped around her healthy and well-proportioned brown body. The muscles on her legs and arms were well-developed, and her physique differed somewhat from that of humans, with noticeably longer arms suited for slapping, grasping, and punching.

Seizing the opportunity while the Wolf Girl was occupied with her meat, Rinne cautiously placed a metal collar around her neck and held the other end with a short rope.

Caught!

The Wolf Girl swallowed the meat in one gulp, and immediately felt the sturdy collar around her neck. She did not let out an angry or panicked howl, but instead became much more submissive and quickly lay on the ground, showing a gesture of weakness.

"Hiss ha..." The Wolf Girl stuck out her tongue to breathe.

Was she already familiar with the collar a long time ago? Xu Yang wondered silently.

"She really stinks," Rinne complained to Xu Yang in a low voice.

Rinne’s sense of smell had been enhanced by modifications, making him less tolerant of the Wolf Girl’s scent pervading the air. The smell was pungent and overpowering, like entering a beast cage that had not been cleaned in a hundred years. It reminded Rinne of the fighting pits used by the wealthy to keep dogs, where those who angered them would be thrown in and torn to pieces by ferocious hounds. However, if the Wolf Girl were to jump into such a pit, she would surely suffocate all those dogs.

The smell almost made Rinne vomit. He turned his head to look at the Wolf Girl crouched on the ground, tugged the chain in his hand, and the Wolf Girl lowered her head and followed, completely transformed into a little dog controlled by the collar.

Though it was a pitiful sight, seeing the accumulated grease on the Wolf Girl’s head, the sweat stains under her arms and on her back, her dirty mouth, and hands, and smelling the sour odor from her feet and the smell of roast meat from her mouth, Rinne wanted to keep his distance.

"Take her to be washed. They’ve given her a quarantine check, but she hasn’t been washed yet," Xu Yang messaged Rinne.

Rinne was eager to do so. He quickly took the Wolf Girl to a clean, spacious bathroom, removed the rags from her body, then filled a large basin with cleaning powder. He gave a vigorous shake of the basin towards the Wolf Girl, covering most of her body with the powder. She looked at Rinne with confusion, making uneasy whimpers.

Then Rinne, holding the rope in his left hand, made the Wolf Girl stand with her back against the wall. With his right hand, he picked up the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun, aimed at the Wolf Girl, and turned on the switch.

Whooosh—

Wash!

The roaring clean water cascaded over the Wolf Girl’s body. Her physical condition was excellent, enhanced by the high-ranking beast transformation magic power, which also bolstered her constitution. She remained unmoved under the torrent of water, simply letting out distressed howls because of the sudden cold.

Rinne meticulously sprayed down the Wolf Girl, cleaning off all the dirt, sweat, and debris from her body. It was the most satisfying blast Rinne had ever experienced in her life. She then had the Wolf Girl turn around to clean her front, head, and face as well.

Throughout the process, the Wolf Girl kept her eyes shut, howling. Her body was covered in cleaning powder mixed with water, which turned into a powerful cleaning solution that removed stains, germs, and odors, covering her with large swaths of cleaning foam.

Once Rinne had rinsed her clean, the Wolf Girl immediately lay down on the ground, shaking her body to fling off the water, splattering it all over the room.

Rinne aimed the showerhead towards the ground and washed away all the dirty water and foam, then took another look at the Wolf Girl, now clean and clear.

For the Wolf Girl, this might have been the cleanest and most refreshing moment since her birth. She stood on all fours like an animal, first turning her head to sniff her armpits, then stretching her neck and lifting a leg to smell the ’O’ scent, finding herself completely clean.

This left the Wolf Girl quite uneasy. She was accustomed to distinguishing things by smell, but now she couldn’t detect even her own scent, leaving her feeling utterly lost.

"You look somewhat presentable now," Rinne observed the Wolf Girl. "Can you understand what others say, but not speak?"

"Awoo, awoo," the Wolf Girl paced back and forth on the ground, shivering.

"Are you very cold? If you’re cold, what should be done... Heater..." Rinne looked around.

Then, under Rinne’s gaze, the Wolf Girl released her magic power and transformed into a giant wolf beast with reddish-brown fur. The collar was instantly burst asunder, emitting a piercing explosion, while the Wolf Girl let out a loud howl, seemingly finding comfort in reverting to her wolf form.

The Wolf Girl turned into a very large beast as a giant wolf. With her mouth wide open, her canines were at least 30 centimeters long, her body length was about 6 meters, shoulder height 3 meters, and her weight was roughly close to 1 ton.

What a monster...

Rinne had to look up, feeling like a child in front of the Wolf Girl.

As it approached Rinne, she instinctively raised her hand, thinking to dodge.

Seeing Rinne’s hand, the Wolf Girl howled in pain, bowed her head to the ground, and shivered intensely.

Rinne looked down at her arm, where a black flame had scorched it, leaving behind dark, indelible marks. Did this terrify the Wolf Girl?

"Change back," Rinne thought of something in an instant, shook her hand vigorously in front of the Wolf Girl, who, upon seeing the black fire burns on Rinne’s hand, fearfully relinquished her magic power and reverted back to her normal Witch form amidst a strange black flash.

Rinne inspected the Wolf Girl carefully and, sure enough, after washing off the dirt, Rinne saw the marks of Blackfire burns on the Wolf Girl’s right shoulder, like a brand of shame.

"I’ve been burned by that kind of flame too," Rinne consoled the Wolf Girl. "Together we can take revenge on that Blackfire, and in the future, we’ll completely destroy Black Fire Innovation. In the battle for revenge, you’ll be able to show your true strength."

The Wolf Girl emitted a weak whimper, looking panicked. She turned her head to see the collar that had been burst by her transformation, pointed at the fragments of the collar, and then pointed to her own neck.

No matter how Rinne urged her, the Wolf Girl refused to leave. Rinne had no choice but to put another collar around the Wolf Girl’s neck, then dress her in a white vest and shorts. Once she was neatly arranged, Rinne led the Wolf Girl to the surveillance room to show Xu Yang.

"The Wolf Girl, nearly brand new," Rinne praised.

Xu Yang scrutinized her closely.

"How does she behave so well?" Xu Yang noticed the Wolf Girl was very docile.

"I think the burn scars affected her, just like everything associated with Black Fire Innovation; they incinerate everything with Blackfire to claim it as their own." Rinne showed Xu Yang her burnt arms, both marred by ugly scars. "See, I was only touched by a trailing black flame, and it turned out like this. That’s why I didn’t head back to headquarters immediately since monomolecular wire also required surgery to heal. Ah, my arms still shake from time to time."

"Only the Law of Recovery can heal such injuries," Xu Yang reminded.

Rinne remembered her past visit to the Recovery Star, where she had openly defied Farosa. Now going back for protection seemed like a contradiction to her longstanding principles. After so many events, Rinne’s mentality had become more open, and she no longer fixated on the burns.

"Aren’t scars a badge of honor for the brave?" Rinne quickly accepted the existence of the brand, revealing a carefree smile, "Battling a mega-corporation like Black Fire Innovation and escaping unscathed is too fantastical. There will inevitably be injuries upon exit. So, these burns are the proof of my honor and the cause of my revenge. Since Blackfire has burned me like this, I will certainly extinguish all Blackfire to satisfy my vengeful heart."

"Awoo, awoo." Upon hearing Rinne’s words, the Wolf Girl felt better, showing her sharp canines.
