Professor Lucius smiled after seeing their reaction. The creature inside the cage does have a terrible appearance but it wasn't the worst thing he had ever seen.
It brings him joy seeing them terrified… He even wanted to remove the cage to tease them and see them piss their pants.
Nevertheless, he controlled his urge to tease them as he took a deep breath.
He didn't answer their questions and asked his students instead.
"How do you think we're keeping it alive?"
No one expected such a question. Most of them are in a daze looking at the creature so they didn't have the time to think of a good answer.
After a while, someone spoke with a curious tone.
"Is it being fed by normal food? If not, perhaps some sort of spiritual food…" Neil said. He actually thought that this creature doesn't need food and only requires some sort of mystical energy. However, from their Professor's question, he seems to be hinting at something else.
