I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The determined answer surprised the fairy. She hadn't expected the boy to refuse, especially since she had personally witnessed the negative emotions surrounding him and the isolation separating him from the others.

He should have been the weak link in the team. How could she have misjudged him?

But the moment the refusal escaped his lips, the negative aura around him dissipated, and the "isolation" that had been floating in the air like ribbons quickly faded.

It was as if, by understanding the situation, he had also let go of his resentment towards his companions.

The memories that had "intruded" into his mind struck him like a hammer, shattering his chaotic thoughts and allowing him to open his clear eyes once more.

The boy sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly immovable by wind or storm.

Seeing this, the fairy felt a surge of frustration, but she tried to suppress it and coaxed him:

"You don't need to rush to a decision. Surely there's something else you desire."

Hearing this, the boy raised an eyebrow, a smile of arrogance spreading across his face:

"I want many things, but I don't need to make a wish to you. With my talent, I can achieve anything I desire."

Having understood the situation, the boy's arrogance built a solid wall around him.

As he spoke, a hint of contempt appeared between his brows:

"Besides, you've already revealed your desire for me to make a wish, and you certainly don't want me to wish for my own good, which means you have some kind of ulterior motive.

"And a fairy's ulterior motive is never a good thing."

Even as he said this, the boy's face remained full of arrogance. Clearly, he was completely convinced of his conclusion and would never listen to any further enticements from the fairy.

The fairy could see this.

The others were even more stubborn and impervious to persuasion.

A feeling of boredom quickly washed over her, as she foresaw that trying to find amusement in Maen and his companions would be troublesome and time-consuming.

And fairies are impatient creatures, so she decided to give up…

…………

…Fairies are impatient creatures, but this particular fairy was somewhat unusual. "They" were actually pieced together from a broken fairy and a mortal.

Therefore, "they" possessed far more patience than ordinary fairies, and it was for this reason that "they" had higher aspirations than other fairies.

But now, unlike other fairies who would abandon their playthings out of boredom, she felt a sense of annoyance, even a desire to retaliate against them, like a mortal.

Also, because of her combination with a mortal, the fairy power she possessed was slightly weaker than that of other fairies bound by various rules, but conversely, she was also less constrained.

This was why she had been able to so easily trap Maen and the others at the beginning, even completely isolating them and blocking all forms of communication, including telepathy.

It was because she possessed human flesh and blood.

A creature of fantasy invaded reality through a human body.

That's right, this was the fairy's origin. She was a masterpiece created by a true master, and a vessel that could more efficiently use fairy magic to interfere with reality. Most importantly, the human part of her gave her a personality that, like mortals, was extremely susceptible to emotions.

At this moment, she felt a strong desire for revenge, wanting Maen, who had just rejected her, to regret his decision.

However, her power was insufficient to attack powerhouses like Maen and Serri, so after looking around a few more times, she naturally turned her attention to the girl they called You Yue.

She initially targeted the girl because she was an indispensable helper for Maen in finding the dragon.

But for some inexplicable reason, the fairy felt that destroying this girl would make Maen feel regret and guilt…

………

……………

Yes, this fairy was indeed a product of two combined beings, and the buried humanity within her reminded her of Yan's earlier refusal, so a more logical situation arose.

She naturally turned her attention to Yan.

The fairy's gaze towards the boy turned cold and cruel:

"You have angered me. Due to my nature, I cannot kill you, but do you know that there are many things in this world that are far more cruel and terrible than death? First…

"I don't like the way you looked at me just now. Frankly, I don't even like the way you look.

"Relax, this won't cause you any actual harm. I hope you like my gift. If you don't like it, you'd better say so now, because this change is irreversible."

As she spoke, she raised a finger towards Yan.

The boy instantly froze as if someone had grabbed his throat. Then, he opened his mouth with difficulty, seemingly trying to breathe, but as his hand reached towards his neck…

His eyes bulged out like dead fish, and his mouth began to open wider and wider…

So wide that one could clearly see his upper and lower jaws, throat, and then his esophagus…

Under the influence of some terrifying force, the boy's internal organs twisted and squeezed out of his mouth, which had deformed and expanded enough to pass through a human body. First to be ejected were the two lungs, followed by the stomach, heart, and intestines, while his bones seemed to remain inside him in a way that defied the laws of physics.

The skin that had originally been the boy's was turned inside out and stuffed into his body, leaving only the two protruding eyes, which popped out with a 'plop,' followed by a few strands of flesh of unknown origin.

The once handsome boy transformed into a heap of soft, red flesh and blood, with various organs hanging on his new skin, and his two eyes turned into tentacle-like structures.

Yan suffered no actual harm. He could still wriggle, and his blood continued to circulate under the pumping of his heart, maintaining his fragile life. He could still live to the average human lifespan.

Provided he didn't crush his own heart while moving.

"How is it?" The fairy revealed a mocking expression. "Do you like my gift? This change is almost irreversible. Unless someone makes a wish to me, no one can turn you back to normal.

"Do you think they will wish for you? Don't worry, we'll find out soon enough.

"Let me take you to Maen and the others and see if they are willing to pay the price to save you, but don't worry, because if they refuse to wish to save you…

"You can still wish to take revenge on them."

The boy's body began to wriggle.

The fairy laughed like a child who had just pulled off a prank:

"What do you want to say? Do you already regret refusing me?"

With a slow wriggling, the pile of flesh and blood spat out clear sentences.

"Who are you?" The voice was arrogant with a hint of questioning.

More importantly, the voice that squeezed out of the flesh and blood was a woman's.
