Chapter 150 Luo En: I think I'm being targeted again.
"Tracy?" Tracy suddenly sat up from the bed, looking at her Mother warily, "What Tracy?"
"Oh, my little Tracy, are you still going to play dumb with Mother?" Katarina's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Did you forget that whole ship full of Beyonder materials?"
Tracy's heart sank. She knew her Mother would never let go of that pile of materials.
She stood up, her gaze cold as she looked at Katarina, and stubbornly said, "Those are things I brought back; they are mine alone. Mother, and the cult, have no right to touch them!"
Hearing this, Katarina's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a wounded expression, as if she were on the verge of tears.
"Little Tracy, how can you say that? If I hadn't appeared in time to scare away that ill-intentioned Third Mate, do you think you and your 'Tracys' would still be safely here?"
The Demoness of Undying's exquisite acting was fully displayed in that moment.

Tracy, however, was unmoved. She had seen her Mother's trick many times over the years, and it was impossible for it to have much effect on her.
Seeing this, Katarina said no more. The sadness on her face gradually faded, replaced by her signature, playful smile.
She stood there, quietly watching her daughter, and an invisible pressure, belonging to a higher-Sequence Demoness, spread through the room like a tide.
The air seemed to solidify.
After a moment, Tracy still couldn't withstand the tangible pressure.
She turned her face away, giving in first, her voice trembling slightly:
"...Mother, at least leave half. That half... doesn't belong to me."
"Oh?" Katarina smiled and raised an eyebrow. She seemed very interested in this answer. "I can consider that request. But in exchange, you must tell me everything you've experienced during this time, in detail."
"I won't tell you!" Tracy refused without even thinking.
She absolutely could not expose Luo En's existence, especially not to her Mother.
"Silly child." Katarina sighed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me? You've been missing for so long; do you think the cult wouldn't have noticed?
Tell me now, and as your Mother, I can help you cover it up. But if those 'sisters' in the cult find out, I can't guarantee what they'll do with your 'little secret'~"
"I—"
Katarina's words precisely hit Tracy's most sensitive spot; she knew the virtues of her colleagues in the cult all too well.
Watching Tracy's struggling expression, Katarina continued her pursuit: "Tell me, and I'll help you. And, I promise, I won't touch your 'other half'."
"...You promise not to lay a hand on that person." Tracy finally compromised.
"I promise." Katarina nodded in agreement, appearing incredibly sincere.
After receiving the promise, Tracy hesitated for a long time, but finally recounted her experience with Luo En, downplaying the important parts.
After listening to Tracy's account, Katarina's face showed a surprised and playful expression:
"Oh la la, this is truly a romantic experience that only appears in Rosell's novels.
I never thought my little Tracy would meet such an interesting 'Tracy boy'. You are much luckier than I was, being given away as a gift back then."
Katarina sighed, then changed the subject with a hint of regret: "It's a pity you were too impatient. You chose such an extreme method to keep him, and he still ran away."
"My little Tracy has grown up, but when it comes to human hearts, you still need more practice."
"I'll go find him for you."
"Mother!" Tracy heard the unspoken meaning in her words and immediately cried out warily, "You promised me you wouldn't lay a hand on him!"
"As for Brando, I'll find him myself."
"Of course, I promised you." Katarina's smile remained gentle on the surface.
However, in her heart, she was planning another matter. One of the few things in her long life that truly made her feel interested.
Sequence 4 of the Demoness Pathway is the Demoness of Despair. The key to acting is to taste and spread despair.
Since Tracy cherishes that person named Brando so much, if I personally help her create a deeply etched despair, it seems like a very interesting thing to do.
This can also be seen as fulfilling a Mother's responsibility to help her 'act' in advance.
"So there are these rules at sea."
"Of course, only I would tell you."
Inside the hotel, Luo En was exchanging recent intelligence with Danitz.
Since he was currently dependent on others, Luo En's attitude was very sincere. After a simple compliment to Danitz, Senior Danitz immediately got excited and started spilling everything.
Luo En smiled, watching Danitz boast. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.
"Brando, what's wrong?" Danitz looked at Luo En, who had suddenly fallen silent, and asked with concern.
"Nothing—it's just my spiritual intuition." Luo En lowered his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I feel like someone is targeting me..."
"Disease Maiden?"
"Hard to say." Luo En looked up at Danitz. "Have you contacted the Captain's side yet?"
Since Luo En wanted to leave Bayam, Danitz also suggested a method: for Luo En to hitch another ride on the Golden Dream.
The lockdown in Bayam hadn't truly begun. It seemed serious now, but perhaps it was just a lot of talk with little action.
Although there were more patrol ships on the sea, the shipping lanes were not blocked. Danitz said his vacation was almost over, and the Captain and his crew would come to pick him up then.
At that time, he would take a small boat to a hidden private port in the nearby sea and could bring Luo En along.
Although the Golden Dream would not go to the waters near Loen, it would pass through Pritz Harbor midway, where Luo En could be dropped off.
Compared to Bayam, there were far fewer pirate informants in Pritz Harbor, making it relatively safer.
After listening, Luo En was very interested in this plan.
He really wanted to see Edwina again. Although the camera that took many photos of the ruins was broken, the film inside was still intact.
He wanted to talk to Edwina face-to-face about the mural. After all, it might contain clues about his transmigration.
So he agreed to Danitz's arrangement and asked him to help contact Edwina again.
"No. I sent a telegram, but there was no response." Danitz shrugged. "The sea is rough, and the Captain and his crew are probably still some distance from Bayam."
"Is that so—" Hearing this, Luo En felt a little disappointed but didn't speak.
Now, he could only be forced to stay in Bayam for a while longer.
"I always have a bad feeling," he muttered to himself.
