However, Hikari was very clear about the true nature of this one who was an urban legend.

So he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity.

He even smiled and asked, "I'll ask you again, what kind of miss are you exactly?"

"Miss Mary! Miss Mary! Miss Mary! Even if you ask me a hundred times, I'm still Miss Mary!", Her delicate little face was full of anger, and her tone was full of indignation.

Looking at the doll Mary, who clearly begged for mercy yesterday but had now returned to this full-of-energy state, Hikari slightly shook his head.

Sure enough, the strength of urban legends was not to be underestimated, they were really noisy.

Or rather, it was that the urban legends of this world were particularly noisy.

Yesterday's subjugation had achieved a certain result. Today's Miss Mary wasn't as fierce as yesterday, but it still wasn't enough.

As an urban legend, Miss Mary's personality, while not as vicious as Hanako's, was still pretty troublesome.

Maybe, she needed to be exorcised several more times, treated with various means, only then would she become obedient.

Seeing Hikari suddenly stop speaking and instead start scrutinizing her pet!te and delicate body, Miss Mary immediately felt a bit uneasy.

Miss Mary asked angrily, "Wha… what are you looking at? Hurry and tell me, where did my power go!"

"Why did I become so weak after sleeping with you for one night, losing so much of my strength?"

"Damn human, give me back my power!"

Speaking of this, Miss Mary once again wore a face full of indignation.

Looking at the little face full of resentment, Hikari said with a smile, "Your power? I ate it last night."

"Bullshit! How could my Resentment Power be eaten? You think it's the energy you forcefully pumped into me?"

"Despicable, cunning human! Tell me, where did you steal my power?"

Miss Mary shouted loudly, feeling her still slightly bloated stomach, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Yesterday, after Hikari discovered her weak point, he pumped a lot of Vajra Demon-Subduing Force positive energy into her, and it was even electrically charged.

That righteous energy completely suppressed her pet!te body, even her flat little belly was pushed up high.

Miss Mary finally understood why Hanako was so weak, why she harbored so much hatred toward Hikari yet couldn't take revenge.

The Vajra Demon-Subduing Force infused by Hikari was indeed too strong a suppression for urban legends like them.

But that was still a minor problem. As long as the positive energy was vented or refined, her power could still be recovered.

Just like Hanako.

But what made Miss Mary uncomfortable was that Hikari didn't just pump in positive energy to suppress her. It seemed like he also stole the power inherent to her as an urban legend, which involved her origin power, extremely precious.

So Miss Mary became so anxious and angry that she couldn't help but keep pressing Hikari early in the morning.

Looking at Miss Mary now with a grim expression, her emerald-green eyes staring at him, Hikari knew exactly why she was so mad.

After all, anyone would crack under the feeling of a sudden drop in power.

Hikari, of course, knew what happened.

Yesterday, while using "Evil Instant Burst" to subjugate Mary, he also used the "Ability Drain" skill he had previously drawn.

Gotta say, the effect was quite excellent.

Not only did it double the sensation during the "Evil Instant Burst" technique, making it incredibly stimulating, but he also clearly felt the boost in power.

Previously, when subjugating Hanako, he had already gained some Resentment Power of urban legends, and this time, after draining from Miss Mary, he immediately leveled up again.

But knowing was one thing, Hikari had no intention of explaining in detail to Miss Mary, who was clearly an enemy at the moment.

He only smiled and said, "I already told you before, but you didn't believe me."

"Just so you know, I did answer your question, but yesterday when I asked you something, you still haven't answered me."

"Pie… no, Miss Mary, how exactly can we force Hanako out from her Resentful Domain?"

Hearing Hikari suddenly change the subject, Miss Mary looked grim, but she also knew Hikari wouldn't easily tell her what she wanted to know.

Hearing his question again, Mary sneered, "Hmph! How many times do I need to emphasize it for you to understand?"

"I, Miss Mary, will never betray my friends."

"You ask me about Miss Hanako? I know nothing, understand?!"

"Miss Mary absolutely will not betray her friends!"

Hearing Miss Mary's words, Hikari shook his head, "I'm not discussing this with you. I'm giving you a chance. Miss Mary, have you still not figured out your situation?"

"You're now my prisoner. If you don't want more suffering, you'd better answer whatever I ask."

Miss Mary spat in disdain, "Tch! A mere human, and you think you can interrogate me? What kind of thing do you think you are?"

"You really don't seem convinced, Miss Mary," Hikari smiled.

"Of course I'm not!", Miss Mary puffed her cheeks.

"But yesterday I defeated you and captured you," Hikari said.

"Hmph! You used underhanded tricks! If you have the guts to defeat me head-on, then maybe I'd consider telling you the things you want to know," Miss Mary said righteously.

"A rematch? With those trembling legs of yours that might not even walk?", Hikari chuckled.

"Then you have to give me back my power first! Despicable human!", Miss Mary yelled angrily.

"What I eat doesn't come back out… Whatever, I won't waste words. I'll ask one more time: about Hanako, are you going to talk or not?", Hikari asked again.

"Unless you give me back my power, forget it!", Miss Mary answered firmly.

"You're sure you won't say?"

"Won't say!"

"Really won't say?"

"Really won't say!"

"Why are you so persistent?"

"Miss Mary will never betray her friends," Miss Mary's little face was full of seriousness.

"Alright… then I'll just have to turn you back into Miss Pie and ask again," Hikari shook his head helplessly.

"You… you're not planning to do that again so early in the morning, are you…?"

Under Miss Mary's horrified gaze, Hikari once again pulled out the Vajra Demon-Subduing Schlong from his pocket and directly struck Mary's weak point as an urban legend doll.

"Evil, Instant, Burst!"

After yesterday's battle, Mary thought that as an urban legend she had gained some experience and wouldn't lose so quickly this time.

She did resist for a short while, even causing Hikari a bit of trouble, but to the far more experienced fighter Hikari, it was basically negligible.

Anyway, under Hikari's storm-like exorcism assault, Miss Mary soon turned back into Miss Cream-Pie.

But what surprised Hikari was that even though Miss Mary had been zapped into spasms, eyes rolling, by the powerful Vajra energy and electric currents, she still didn't reveal a single word about Hanako.

Maybe because he had already drained a lot of her power yesterday.

Plus, she was pet!te, so even though she was an urban legend, this time Miss Mary quickly passed out again and completely turned back into Miss Cream-Pie inside and out.

Looking at the small figure that had lost consciousness and collapsed on the soft mattress, Hikari shook his head helplessly.

Miss Mary really cared strangely deeply about her friends and had strange loyalty.

Even though she lost consciousness many times yesterday and only meowed, even called herself Miss Cream-Pie, she still refused to reveal anything about Hanako.

This morning was much the same.

No matter how she was interrogated, nothing came out.

'This girl… really is tough to deal with.'

Should we say, truly worthy of being an urban legend? If it were an ordinary human, they'd have spilled everything by now.

"Forget it, I'll ask again another day."

Sunlight was already streaming through the curtains. It was getting late. Hikari looked at the time, it was time for school.

But Miss Mary couldn't be left like this. Even though she was just knocked out, Hikari thought for a few seconds, then used a rope infused with Vajra Demon-Subduing Force and Heavenly Thunder energy to tie her limbs again.

Then he poured all he had into her, inside and out, filling her with pure positive energy carrying Vajra Demon-Subduing Force to suppress and seal her.

He stuffed a Clear Jade protective charm into her arms, sealed the hotel room door tightly and locked it, then turned and left the room.

After leaving the luxurious presidential suite, Hikari immediately called for the hotel's hot lady manager.

He instructed, "I'll be back later. My room doesn't need cleaning. Also, don't let anyone enter. Understand?"

"Yes, sir! Understood! No one will be allowed in. No one will even come to that floor," The mature lady manager promised seriously.

After all, this guest knew the young lady.

And yesterday's elevator problem made the female manager quite grateful too.

After the manager left, Hikari busied himself a little at the hotel entrance, then used Resentment Power to set up a barrier that ordinary people absolutely couldn't enter, before turning and leaving.

This kind of Resentment Power application Hikari had roughly seen during his fight with Hanako. It was like the ghost maze stuff, using Resentment Power to set up a barrier or something.

But previously, Hikari didn't have enough Resentment Power, so he never tried this stuff.

But after draining a batch from Miss Mary last night, Hikari had enough now.

With a barrier formed from Resentment Power, most ordinary people wouldn't be able to enter, and even if Miss Mary inside woke up, she couldn't get out.

Also, if this barrier was broken, from inside or outside, he would know immediately.

And the reason Hikari went to all this trouble to seal doll Mary here was simple, he planned to tame Miss Mary.

———

After the fight, Hikari had already realized.

Urban legends like Miss Mary and Hanako were very hard to kill completely.

Even with Vajra Demon-Subduing Force or Heavenly Thunder-type power, he still couldn't fully eliminate urban legends yet.

Maybe only after mastering the Five Thunders True Technique and even reaching minor success could it be possible.

Besides, killing Miss Mary didn't seem necessary.

Maybe because she was an urban legend of this inner world.

Based on the nonsense she spilled yesterday when Hikari beat her hard with the rod, it seemed Miss Mary wasn't some heinous, murderous supernatural being.

She hadn't even harmed anyone, at most, just played pranks.

Also, even if urban legends like Miss Mary were killed, they might be reborn through word of mouth.

So Hikari's goal wasn't to kill, but to tame.

After yesterday's fierce battle, Hikari used the Vajra Demon-Subduing Schlong many times to beat Miss Cream-Pie, no, Miss Mary, until she lost her sense of direction, and even whimpered in surrender several times.

Didn't expect that after waking up this morning, this non-cream-eating Miss Mary would get stubborn again.

But after all, she was a legendary urban legend. Hikari knew, completely subduing someone like Miss Mary, making her obedient and spill the info he wanted, wouldn't happen in one or two tries.

He needed to exorcise consistently over time to stand a chance.

Although Miss Mary's little mouth was still hard and uncooperative now, there were already signs.

If he kept at it, it should work. After all, she's an urban legend of this world.

It just required relentless effort, he'd need to keep pumping her full of Vajra Demon-Subduing Force positive energy dozens more times.

"Sigh… for the peace and safety of this city, I've really sacrificed a lot…", Rubbing his slightly sore waist, Hikari sighed
