The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 402: Another One Exposed
Henie frowned deeply as her urgent figure darted through the garden. [[0]](#__0)
The thorns at the garden's perimeter showed no reaction whatsoever, as if she were merely a breeze passing through the air. [[2]](#__2)
Compared to before, the Kravina family garden had grown much larger, almost covering the entire backyard. The reason was simple—it was mainly because of Cocotte. [[1]](#__1)
As a nature spirit, she greatly enjoyed living in such a natural environment. The Kravina family garden naturally became her first choice. As a high-level nature spirit, even while sleeping, Cocotte's natural energy would affect the surrounding environment. [[3]](#__3)
Under Cocotte's natural energy bath, the surrounding vegetation received a more favorable environment for growth. It wasn't noticeable in the short term, but Cocotte had been living here for quite some time now. [[0]](#__0)
Under such environmental nourishment, the surrounding vegetation thrived. The flowers became more abundant, covering a wider area. But similarly, the paths had become increasingly complex. [[2]](#__2)
After Henie penetrated deep into this garden, she found most of the overflowing heavy thorns had already been burned away. Only within the dense foliage remained a path. [[1]](#__1)
Standing still, looking at the still-burning embers, Henie was somewhat dazed. The residual heat coming from the path ahead made her close her eyes involuntarily and take a deep breath. [[3]](#__3)
"I hope I'm not too late." [[0]](#__0)
Henie took a breath, disregarding the residual heat, and rushed into the path. Treading over the warm ground, passing by faintly burning embers, she crushed the branches turned to ash, following Viktor's trail, quickly advancing toward the depths of the garden. [[2]](#__2)
Her figure flashed past twisted, stagnant vines, urgently chasing Viktor's footsteps. The deeper she went into the garden, the more urgent Henie's steps became. She could clearly feel that in the deepest part of the garden, the magical power was becoming increasingly overwhelming. And... it seemed somewhat chaotic. [[1]](#__1)
Finally, Henie passed through a narrow passage burning with red fire and crossed over a patch of sharp, lumpy wooden thorns. Following the guidance of magical power, she entered the final space in the depths of the garden. [[3]](#__3)
At that moment, she was stunned. [[0]](#__0)
Before her, massive branches frantically extended toward the sky, scattered vines danced wildly in the air. The sky, originally obscured by thick branches and vines, had been torn open with a huge gap. Brilliant sunlight, like a flood, poured in through that gap, illuminating this dark space. [[2]](#__2)
Countless plants of indescribable shapes stood swaying in place. Messy shapes on the branches, distorted thorns, and those giant man-eating flowers that had been pierced through. They were all outlined in shape, exposed before Henie's eyes. [[1]](#__1)
Plants should all be gentle, but at this moment, they seemed like they had been awakened after a long sleep. All showing signs of morning grumpiness, wild and restless. [[3]](#__3)
But at this moment, the battle had almost come to an end. Those frenzied plants were covered by numerous heavy vines, brown tree vines and green tendrils intertwined. [[0]](#__0)
Meanwhile, Henie saw Viktor, surrounded by the endless plants. The professor she had been thinking of was standing in front of the massive flower bud in the center. [[2]](#__2)
In the breeze, his green windbreaker shone brightly, with the huge magic ring rotating with brilliant light behind him. She stared blankly, witnessing Viktor extend both hands, gently tearing open the slightly opened petals. [[1]](#__1)
He lifted Cocotte, who was still sleeping, bound in the center of the flower bud. The vines wrapped around Cocotte tightly gripped her, as if fighting with Viktor for control of her at the last moment. [[3]](#__3)
Viktor held her tightly, slightly frowned, then pulled hard, causing those entangling green vines to stretch suddenly. Pulling again forcefully, those vines stretched to their limit and broke one after another. [[0]](#__0)
Only a few stubborn tendrils still hung on Cocotte, easily cut by the light blade Viktor conjured. He steadily held the petite Cocotte, resting her head on his shoulder. [[2]](#__2)
Even though she had been through so much, Cocotte remained unaffected, sleeping as peacefully as a child having a sweet dream. Viktor did not turn around, but merely said softly to the person behind him. [[1]](#__1)
"Now, give me an explanation." [[3]](#__3)
.......
Cocotte was immersed in dreamland, lying peacefully on the bed, her breathing deep and even, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her. At this moment, she didn't look like a profound fifth-level mage at all, but more like an animal in hibernation. [[0]](#__0)
Lia stood by the bed, arms crossed over her chest, eyebrows slightly raised, with a very strange expression as she looked at the sleeping Cocotte. [[2]](#__2)
"So, she's been sleeping in that garden for a full half month?" [[1]](#__1)
She really couldn't imagine how Cocotte managed to do this. Previously, although Cocotte was considered quite lazy, she would still wake up at times during the day. But now this "feat" of sleeping for half a month straight was truly terrifying. [[3]](#__3)
Lia even had reason to suspect that Cocotte was truly hibernating. Not only did she not wake up, but she also managed to trap herself in the depths of the garden while sleeping. [[0]](#__0)
The garden had become overgrown with thorns, branches blocking the sun. Just like an apocalyptic forest, bizarrely strange. This left Lia completely speechless. [[2]](#__2)
"Let's find a way to wake her up first, the elves are waiting for her." [[1]](#__1)
"I don't understand magic, so this matter can only be left to you." [[3]](#__3)
After speaking, Lia stretched her stiff body, yawned, and left with a hint of fatigue. Only Henie and Viktor remained standing in place, silent. [[0]](#__0)
The atmosphere gradually became somewhat awkward. Normally, when alone with the professor, Henie might feel a bit flustered, but definitely not like now. [[2]](#__2)
She lowered her head, carefully stealing glances at Viktor, like a child who had done something wrong. [[1]](#__1)
"Professor, I..." [[3]](#__3)
"Tell me, why did she suddenly sleep for so long?" [[0]](#__0)
Viktor said calmly, his voice was soft, but when it entered Henie's ears, it was a different matter altogether. [[2]](#__2)
Henie lowered her head slightly, both hands placed in front of her abdomen, fingers alternating back and forth. [[1]](#__1)
"I..." [[3]](#__3)
Indeed, Cocotte had slept for a full half month. Even for this lazy dog elf, this was definitely not normal. [[0]](#__0)
"Perhaps it was because of my mistake, but... I'm not quite clear about what exactly happened." [[2]](#__2)
"I only know that Cocotte's consciousness seems to have been trapped in the garden." [[1]](#__1)
Viktor's eyebrows raised slightly. [[3]](#__3)
In fact, the garden itself had not developed consciousness due to Cocotte's magic. It's just that she had been sleeping in the garden for so long that part of her sleeping consciousness transferred to the garden. [[0]](#__0)
In other words, the current garden was a part of Cocotte. This was also why Henie had hurried to the garden. [[2]](#__2)
She heard Lia's words and worried that Viktor would really demolish the garden. At worst, Professor Viktor's magic was deeply ingrained. [[1]](#__1)
When encountering something difficult to solve, the professor generally used a few large-area spells. Blow it up first, then talk. [[3]](#__3)
Once the garden was destroyed, Cocotte might never wake up. But fortunately, Viktor only used scorching flames to burn those sharp and aggressive thorns. [[0]](#__0)
Even in that final fierce battle with the giant petals, he utilized wood element magic, which was more compatible with nature magic. He rescued Cocotte from that tight flower bud. [[2]](#__2)
At this moment, the crow on his shoulder conveyed a message to Viktor: [[1]](#__1)
"The demon is not in her, Viktor." [[3]](#__3)
Viktor's face still showed no expression, he stared at Henie and said calmly: [[0]](#__0)
"Then, I need an explanation." [[2]](#__2)
Henie took a deep breath and nodded. [[1]](#__1)
"I understand." [[3]](#__3)
She turned around and opened the closed window. Leaning half her body out, she beckoned with her hand, as if summoning something. [[0]](#__0)
Then, a pure white cloud quickly floated back from high above. When this white cloud saw Cocotte lying quietly on the bed, it appeared extremely excited, even accelerating its flying speed. [[2]](#__2)
But at the moment it approached the window, its shapeless eyes saw Viktor and suddenly froze. It wasn't afraid of Viktor, but at this moment, the crow's deep single eye had already fixed firmly on this pure white cloud. [[1]](#__1)
The cloud hid somewhat fearfully behind Henie, just like a small child, curling up into a ball. [[3]](#__3)
Viktor looked at the cloud, slightly raising his eyebrows: [[0]](#__0)
"I should have known." [[2]](#__2)
The presence of demons attracts demons, and similarly, demons can have different personalities. Wrath demons are naturally angry, greed demons are especially greedy. [[1]](#__1)
So what about demons attracted by sloth? Viktor had thought that the sloth demon would possess Cocotte to make her sleep so deeply until now. [[3]](#__3)
In reality, the sloth demon was even too lazy to do so. Rather than saying the sloth demon was attracted by Leighton, who was also a demon, it would be more accurate to say... [[0]](#__0)
Viktor's gaze focused on a small puppy lying on the white cloud. It was sticking its butt up, lying on the cloud, sound asleep. Its snot bubble was so big it almost flipped over its body. [[2]](#__2)
The soft cloud that even Cocotte found extremely comfortable for sleeping, how could the sloth demon pass it up? [[1]](#__1)
Viktor stepped forward, reached out his hand, and grabbed the puppy by the scruff of its neck. However, the puppy remained asleep, even when Viktor shook its body, there was no response. [[3]](#__3)
Until Viktor's cold voice sounded in its ear: [[0]](#__0)
"If you don't wake up now." [[2]](#__2)
"I will make sure you never sleep again, Puki." [[1]](#__1)
In the next moment, the puppy's eyes suddenly opened wide. Without any drowsiness, clear as day. [[3]](#__3)
