Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2502

Chapter 2502 Foundation of Health

Effie looked at Sunny with a confused expression.

"It… does not seem to be working?"

Sunny was just as stumped.

He gave Saint a thoughtful glance, then scratched the back of his head.

"Well. Yeah… maybe it is because she is not a complete person? As one of my Shadows, Saint is technically a part of me. She usually resides within my soul… and before you say anything about a beautiful woman being trapped in me, know that I will break at least one of your arms if you do…"

Effie, who had already opened her mouth with a mischievous glint in her eyes, closed it again.

Sunny glared at her for a moment, then continued:

"Alternatively… it might be because of her [Stalwart] Attribute, which makes her immune to mind attacks. Her Mirage City persona was forced upon her by the Palace of Imagination, so it is not a mental hex — rather, it is a manifestation of divine sorcery. So, your attempt to strip her of that persona

might be seen as a mental assault instead, consciously or subconsciously."

He grimaced.

"Or it could be something else entirely. Maybe the Castellan had stolen more of your authority in the last few days. Maybe it only worked on me that easily because I am a Supreme. It's… hard to say."

Effie looked at him, then at Morgan. Morgan did not seem to know more about the Palace of Imagination than they did, though, so she looked back to Sunny.

"So what do we do?"

He had no idea.

Sunny remained silent for a while, then opened his mouth to say something. At that moment, though, Saint shook her head and turned away with a determined expression.

He panicked a little.𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Uh, sorry? What are you doing, Saint?"

She looked around the church, then said evenly:

"I am going to sleep."

Saint headed to the nearest bench and pulled the white sheet off it, grimacing because of the dust.

Sunny blinked a couple of times.

"You're going… to sleep? Now?"

She turned around and pierced him with a chilling gaze.

"It is far past my bedtime, and as I mentioned, my sleep schedule is very important. Good sleep… is the foundation of mental health. And since delusional disorders seem to have become infectious as of late, somehow, I must be vigilant."

Her tone was letting them know that she would tolerate no compromises.

Whipping around, Saint took off her coat, rolled it into a makeshift pillow, and settled on the bench. Soon enough, her figure was hidden under the white sheet.

It was as if she was telling them that she refused to deal with their nonsense anymore,at least not tonight.

Sunny, Morgan, and Effie stared in her direction with stunned expressions.

"Is she really… going to sleep? Now?"

There was a hint of amusement in Morgan's voice.

Sunny lingered for a few moments, then cleared his throat.

"Well, you heard her. Proper sleep… is the foundation of mental health."

Honestly, he could understand Saint's reaction.

First, she had met him and was exposed to a bunch of nonsense that sounded completely delusional. Then, someone tried to kill her. Then, Morgan broke out of the mental hospital after someone tried to kill her, too — not only that, but she seemed to share in the delusions of the crazy detective.

And after all that, Saint met Effie. Who also went along with the insane antics of the delusional detective and the escaped mental patient.
