Chapter 16 It turns out you were the one who tricked me
"Good morning, Mr. Pitt."
"Good morning, Eve." Old Pete smiled, obviously very pleased that Eve came to work on time. He had a kind face but was always serious and seemed difficult to approach. Now with a smile, he looked like a kind-looking grandfather next door.
Old Pete took out several small mirrors from the cabinet and handed them to Eve: "This is your weapon."
Mirror?
Eve was a little disappointed. In her imagination, her weapon should be a sword, just like the knights in ancient times. After all, which boy doesn't have a dream of being a knight?
But Eve is not a knight, but a witch. For a witch, a mirror is indeed a more suitable weapon than a sword. After all, one of the core abilities of a witch is mirror magic.
"You have been assigned to Team 1, Group 2, and are responsible for the afternoon patrol mission in the central city. In the morning, you can go to the reception desk of the patrol team in the central city to handle matters, and you can go directly to the reception desk in the future." Old Pete said.
The central city area, and the school is also in the central city area, so it will be very convenient to send Ouroboros to school and find Miss Elizabeth in the future.
By the way, I still have to pick up Ouroboros. Let's pick him up during lunch break.
As Eve thought about this, she used the mirror to jump to the central city area and looked around for a long time before she found the inconspicuous little house.
"squeak--"
"Hello, may I ask... Hey! It's a new member."
"Hello." Eve greeted the people in the house. Although the house was not big, there were quite a few people inside.
"May I have your name?"
"What way?"
"Sequence number?"
Questions were thrown at her one after another, and the girl answered them one by one. Eve was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of her colleagues.
"Sequence three!" Colleagues exclaimed when they heard Eve's answer. After all, although Sequence three is not good enough in this world, it is still very high for the city patrol team members who are all low-sequence extraordinary people.
But they didn't seem to think about why Eve Sequence Three came to the city to inspect the team, and just said things like "How amazing". But when someone raised this question curiously, Eve also gave an answer. She could feel that they were just simply curious and had no malicious speculation.
When they learned that Eve was arranged by Sasriel, they all said that His Highness Sasriel must have some deep meaning.
For a moment, Eve was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know whether to praise Sasriel for being so popular among the people or to praise the residents for being so simple and kind. It should be a bit of both.
The work at the reception desk was relatively easy. It was just about dealing with troubles from the residents. Normally, everyone would help each other when they had any troubles. If they couldn't solve the problem, they would first go to the homes of the nearby patrol team members. They would only come here when the team members were not at home, so there were very few people. Only one person came in the morning. She even fell asleep on the table and was not woken up by her colleagues until lunch break.
Eve guessed that they gave her the simplest job in order to take care of the newcomer, and she felt warm in her heart.
Eve, touched by the warmth of her colleagues, walked briskly to pick up Ouroboros.
"Ouroles, I'm here to pick you up." As soon as Eve appeared outside the prison, she saw the little boy sitting on the chair and Osekus standing next to the boy.
"Osekus is here too. Is he waiting for me?" Eve came over and said in a rather mean tone.
"Tsk," Osekus gave Eve a look of disdain, "I wanted to see what abilities you, chosen by the Lord as his Favored One, have to surpass the excellent me!"
"Have you seen my excellence?"
"Nothing special," Osekus said mercilessly, and then a hint of fanaticism appeared on his face. The speed of his expression changed made Eve sigh in admiration, "Ordinary people can't see that only the Lord can do it! Praise the great and noble Lord who is omniscient and omnipotent!"
Eve: ...Thank you, I am offended.
Eve covered Ourolus' eyes and said, "Ourolus, don't learn from him."
Unexpectedly, after seeing this, Oseicus angrily slapped his hand away and shouted, "You fake believer, what are you doing! You are telling him, the people of the great Lord, not to believe in and praise the Lord! Damn it, as a believer you must believe in the Lord with all your heart. I really want to burn you to ashes!"
"Oh, yes, yes." Eve responded perfunctorily and the next second she successfully saw Osaykus's somewhat frustrated face. He was angry but had nowhere to vent, as if he had punched cotton.
"Pfft." Eve couldn't help laughing. "Ahem." Seeing that Osekus's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, Eve quickly changed the subject and asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: "Why did you think I believed in evil gods?"
"I took a look into your house and my eyes started to ache and bleed. Isn't this believing in an evil god?"
"Why are you looking into my room?" Eve asked puzzledly.
Osaycus glanced at Ouroles.
Eve and Ouroboros looked at each other and then reacted.
Ouroboros' information was wrong, so Oseicus looked over. It seemed that this guy had no concept of privacy. He took a look inside Eve's room, and then...
Good man, it turns out that you are the one who tricked me!
Ouroboros blinked his big eyes, his innocent and confused expression showing that he was still out of the situation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But this matter can't be blamed on him.
"You bastard," Eve said viciously, "don't you know how to respect other people's privacy?"
Osekus gave her a strange look, as if he didn't understand why she was angry, "What's privacy?"
Eve felt that she was having trouble breathing and felt a little suffocated. She pulled Ouroboros over and disappeared from Osekus' sight, leaving only one sentence lingering in her place, "Ask your Lord!"
North City
Eve carried Ouroboros back home, put him on a chair, and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
The little boy shook his head. "That's perfect," Eve said as she tied her apron, "Let's eat together."
Eve took out the rabbit she had hunted with Amanesis last night and started to work.
While processing the rabbit, she sighed in her heart. Although she could cook, she always ordered takeout. Her mother scolded her countless times for this. She didn't expect that the next time she entered the kitchen, she would be in another world.
The only seasoning was salt, so Eve simply roasted it and sprinkled some salt on it, and it tasted pretty good.
After cutting the rabbit in half for Ouroboros, Eve couldn't wait to eat it. "Well, it would be nice if there was some sweet bean sauce. Cumin would be good too," she thought to herself while eating.
"I have to go to work this afternoon," Eve said, "You stay at home and don't run around. I will try my best to send you to school."
After eating, Eve told Ouroboros some extraordinary knowledge, and then hurried to work.
Eve's job in the afternoon was to patrol. She followed the patrol team through the entire central city area and found that the school was very large, with more than a dozen rooms. There were three cafeterias alone, but there was no wall so it was mixed with residential houses.
After get off work, Eve went straight to the school.
(End of this chapter)Chapter 17 One Month Later
Chapter 17 One Month Later
It was time to go home. The students were packing up their books and getting ready to go home. An old lady on the podium was trembling as she packed up her books and prepared to leave.
Eve stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, where is Miss Elizabeth?"
"Miss Elizabeth went to church." The old lady spoke kindly, as if she was discussing her well-behaved and sensible granddaughter. "Elizabeth is a good girl. As an old woman with limited mobility, she often helps me. Half of my homework is corrected by her. Yesterday she also corrected everyone's homework because she was supposed to come after the exam but was delayed by something and had to make up for it. Everyone agreed after they couldn't persuade her, and who knew she actually finished correcting everything? Young people have good energy."
Is that so? It was because of me that I delayed it.
"Thank you, teacher," Eve waved and said, "I'm going to find Miss Elizabeth. Goodbye, teacher."
The church was only a few steps away from the school, and Eve arrived there in just two quick steps.
The church is the only place where you can get potions. Through various tasks, such as cleaning the church or preaching, teaching and patrolling, you can accumulate contributions in exchange for potions. Elizabeth can get ten contribution points every day for attending classes and one point for preaching in the church, which is why she comes to the church.
Elizabeth looked at Eve outside the church with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She wanted to be extraordinary.
"I'm sorry, Miss Elizabeth." Eve said apologetically, "I think it was because of me that I didn't go to work the day before yesterday."
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, smiled gently, and said, "It's okay, and many of those homework assignments were corrected by Miss Eve."
"But if it weren't for me, Miss Elizabeth wouldn't have to correct so many assignments." Eve shook her head and said, "If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will go through fire and water to help you."
Elizabeth opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered softly: "No, I don't need anything, and I won't let Miss Eve go through fire and water."
"It's just an exaggeration. It's not like we're really going through fire and water." Eve explained. "What is Miss Elizabeth doing in the church?"
"Accumulate contributions to improve your food." Elizabeth replied. The church is like a department store where you can buy anything as long as you have contribution points.
Eve nodded and said, "I have a younger brother, uh..." The girl gestured with her hands, "About this age, what should I do to send him to school?"
"Children under the age of fifteen can go to school for free," Elizabeth frowned. "Didn't the inspection team notify you? Now hurry up and complete the enrollment procedures. The procedures are done in the church. Just bring your brother here."
"Thank you, Miss Elizabeth." The man disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
Eve quickly dragged Ouroboros from home and completed the enrollment procedures for Ouroboros and exchanged some stationery for him. In order to save money, she also exchanged some cloth to make her own schoolbag.
After sending the boy back, she ran to the service office to clean, and then she had to cook when she got back. Eve felt that her life was really difficult.
But fortunately, after finishing all the unnecessary things, my life was not so busy anymore, and a month passed quickly and uneventfully.
It can't be said to be dull, as three unusual things happened.
One is that Ouroboros grew into a teenager in a month, but after being shocked that he was only three months old, she was not surprised. She prepared a room for Ouroboros, and Eve spent a lot of money on a bed, and suddenly became poor again. So after Ouroboros finished his studies, Eve kicked him into the choir to sing praises for Mikhail every day to supplement the family income.
The other is that Miss Elizabeth became a "Hunter". Eve was very surprised by this, and Elizabeth explained that hunter potions require less contribution, have strong combat power, and hunters' keen observation can help them avoid many risks when they are weak in the early stage. Because of the war, Mikhail encouraged everyone to choose a path with stronger combat power, so he specially lowered the price of potions for hunters, warriors, etc.
The last one was the news about the extraordinary characteristics of the witch Sequence 2, which Eve was most concerned about and expected. She had also divined it herself, but perhaps because she only had Sequence 3, there was no useful information.
Because they didn't want to fight with other gods too early, the angels who were not subordinate to the gods and could not move were all hiding. At their level, even the true gods would find it difficult to hide. Mikhail was able to accurately find an angel with the characteristics of a witch sequence 2 within a month, which was really amazing.
In order to try out the ritual and gain combat experience, they unanimously decided that Eve would complete the kill.
For this reason, Mikhail specially transferred Eve to the city-state closest to the angel territory.
At this moment, Eve was standing on the wall of this city-state.
Although she could cast a gaze, it was too easy to be discovered.
According to Mikhail's information, He should still be the Three-Headed Holy Temple. The characteristics of non-adjacent paths make Him crazy, while she is rational, which is one of her advantages.
However, both paths are not weak in combat, especially the Shepherd Path, which is the strongest in the same sequence after Sequence 5, and it is also a higher sequence of Eve's path. There is a huge gap between Sequence 3 and Sequence 2, and Eve has almost no chance of winning in combat.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So Eve never thought from the beginning that she could beat Sequence 2 through the same path, but she could give Sequence 3 a try.
You are indeed a powerful angel, but if I use the true god-level purification, how will you respond?
Normal purification, even at the level of a true god, would take a long time to completely extract the extraordinary characteristics of an angel, and the extraction of the extraordinary characteristics would be felt immediately. However, Mikhail could mobilize the Chaos Sea to temporarily possess power above that of a god, which greatly shortened the time, and the time required was bought by Eve.
"Okay," Eve touched the secret medal on her chest, took a deep breath, clenched her fists and silently encouraged herself in her heart, "Come on."
The girl jumped off the city wall, and after landing steadily, she infused spirituality into the Medal of Concealment, silently chanted "Amanisis" in her heart to enter a secret state, and then quietly moved towards the territory of the Witch Angel.
Then she circled the territory to the opposite direction of the city-state. Although the city-state was far away from the angel territory, it would still be affected if a large-scale disaster occurred, so she had to lead Him away immediately after the battle began.
The telescope couldn't see that far, so Eve had to observe it herself.
The first step is to find rivers and lakes. As a mythical creature, He does not need to drink water, but the humans He feeds do, so there must be rivers or lakes nearby. The water surface is a natural mirror, and the importance of mirrors in witch battles is absolutely self-evident. Relying on the mirror to move quickly is also a major reliance for luring Him away, so she must first find out the nearby water areas.
(End of this chapter)Chapter 18 Hunting
Chapter 18 Hunting
In the hot summer, the air seemed to be distorted.
The emerald green leaves curled up slightly, as if they had lost their vitality due to the sun. The sound of gurgling water floated into the girl's ears. Just listening to the trickling water made people feel refreshed.
Eve drew the river on paper. She drew all the terrain she observed on paper, which made it easier for her to make hunting plans and prepare for Mikhail to occupy this place.
There is not much water in this place, so Eve decided to schedule the hunting time at three or four in the morning, using the dew to complete the mirror shuttle. By the time she reaches the destination, the dew will almost disappear. Once she arrives at the "hunting ground", she can use the extraordinary item given by Mikhail, which is equivalent to the second sequence of the gate path, to block the space and prevent Him from traveling back to the spiritual world.
The Secret Medal can make Eve enter a secret state by silently reciting "Amanisis".
Starlight headband, a sea blue headband, the wearer has the ability to open and close doors, there are many stars on the headband, each star can store an ability, the star with an ability will emit light, Eve has stored extraordinary abilities in all the stars, the whole headband is shining. The side effect is that the wearer will be harassed by delirium, lose some of their sanity, and increase the risk of losing control.
One of the witch's core abilities is mirror magic. After the dewdrops disappear, it is equivalent to having no mirror. She will not carry a mirror. Although this will weaken Eve, the higher-order "Him" of the same path will only be weakened more seriously. Under all-round suppression, Eve can only try her best to weaken the witch's ability. In battle, she relies on the extraordinary items lent to her by Mikhail and Amanisis.
All she had to do was buy time until "His" extraordinary characteristics emerged, and that would be the time for Eve to fight back.
After drawing the last stroke, Eve returned to the city and handed the map to the person in charge of the city. This was the last copy.
When the blood spills all over the ground, the hunting ground is about to welcome its guests.
Eve used a headband to put her long hair upright, and bursts of whispers suddenly appeared in her ears. The girl felt dizzy for a moment. After adapting for a while, she touched the secret medal on her chest, silently chanted Amanesis in her heart and entered the secret state. She quietly sneaked into the territory of the angel, passing by as lightly as a cat without making a sound.
At the foot of the mountain is a human tribe, with a few small wooden houses nestled together, and more shelters built with branches and leaves. A thin layer of cloth hangs at the entrance as a door, and the wind reveals the people inside, who are pale and thin, and some of the elderly and children can even be said to be skinny.
There was some burning firewood in the center of the tribe, and the ground around it was covered with blood and broken bones.
There were white bones scattered in the grass. The bones were relatively intact and judging from their size, they all belonged to children.
Living sacrifice and cannibalism!
The breath of death and despair in the tribe clung to the girl's heart. Eve closed her eyes reluctantly. At this moment, she truly empathized with Mikhail's fanatics.
The angel lived in a cave on the mountainside. Eve stood outside and took a peek inside. A three-headed woman with snake hair was sleeping soundly inside. Her face and body were covered in blood. No matter how beautiful she was, she still looked horrible.
Eve whispered a few words to Mikhail. The status of the sun god was higher than that of Amanesis, so even in secret, Mikhail could still hear it.
A warm feeling came over him, dispelling the cold of the night. He looked here, and the "purification" began.
At this time, the snake girl suddenly opened her eyes, and her blood-red cold pupils stared straight ahead. Eve's hair stood on end, and fear came over her. She was afraid of being stared at by a cold-blooded animal, and more of a fear of the superior. This feeling was dispelled by the warmth as soon as it appeared. The snake girl raised her head and let out a long howl, and the ground shook and a huge roar sounded, waking up the people below the mountain. Rolling rocks rushed down from the mountain, trying to drown out the screams below the mountain.
The mountain collapsed.
A huge wall of ice rose out of nowhere, blocking the rubble and mud.
Huge rocks hit the ice wall with loud noises.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound seemed to be knocking on my heart.
The people who escaped death looked at the ice wall that appeared out of nowhere and immediately knelt down towards the direction of the cave.
Eve heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone at the foot of the mountain was fine. She then secretly condensed an ice spear and released her hidden state.
However, when the snake-haired woman saw Eve suddenly appear, she let out a roar and rushed towards her, without her having to provoke her at all.
Eve immediately threw the spear and stabbed it straight into the chest of the snake-haired woman, but was bitten by the snake on the woman's head.
Snap!
The spear broke.
But Eve never thought that this spear could hurt Him. It was only used to provoke Him. The moment she threw it out, Eve jumped into the mirror world and moved quickly with the help of the mirror.
The snake-haired woman chased after him without hesitation, jumped into the mirror world, and chased after him relentlessly.
His speed was much faster than Eve's, and he almost caught up with her several times, but the girl always escaped by opening the door.
After a frantic run, Eve jumped out of the mirror world, and the snake-haired woman jumped out with her.
After entering the real world, Eve immediately blocked the surrounding space by closing the door and then entered a secret state.
The starlight from the headband on her head quietly went out, and a strong white light shot out, dispelling all the shadows around her. The snake-haired woman suddenly felt a burning pain.
Under the strong light coming from all directions, even shadows no longer exist.
This would limit the snake-haired woman's ability to control shadows to a certain extent.
The disappearance of the enemy, the burning pain, and the feeling of the extraordinary characteristics emanating made the snake-haired woman even more angry.
The three snakes on the heads danced wildly, hitting the rocks and trees where Eve was hiding several times, smashing them to pieces.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The snakes' attack range became larger and larger. When they attacked the barrier, the snake-haired woman found herself trapped.
In an instant, the ground began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the ground.
The snakes stopped attacking and returned to their owner.
Poof!
A snake bit the snake-haired woman, tearing off a piece of flesh from her body, leaving a bloody hole on her body, and then the wound healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Other snakes joined in the biting, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, but the snake-haired woman was covered in blood but had no wounds at all.
All the snakes raised their heads and threw out the blood and flesh in their mouths.
There was too much blood and flesh and it was too dense to avoid.
distortion!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The flesh bomb that was flying towards Eve quietly changed its route, barely passing over the girl and blasting the ground into pits.
Eve quickly took two steps back, stepped on a place without blood and flesh, and dodged the last few flesh bombs flying towards her.
She reserved several pieces specifically to avoid exposing her position.
Otherwise, whether it is the large space left by the flying flesh and blood or the overly flat land on the bumpy ground, it would be too conspicuous.
Although Eve felt that He might not have the intelligence to do so, otherwise He would have already divined her location and there would be no need to go through so much trouble to find her.
(End of this chapterChapter 19 Kill
Chapter 19 Killing
Eve took out a doll and leaned over to stain the doll with the blood and flesh on the ground.
Black flames rose into the sky, burning all the flesh and blood on the ground.
The stealth state can only hide Eve herself, and her shoe prints will not be hidden. If she steps on the bloodstains on the ground, Eve's biggest reliance for survival will disappear.
The moment the flames ignited, the body of the snake-haired woman split into three, with each part taking away a head. The flesh under the skin squirmed violently and grew new flesh, instantly filling in the missing parts of the body.
Three snake-haired women rushed to the back from three directions at the same time.
That's where the fire started.
How stupid.
Eve sneered in her heart and silently watched the snake-haired woman attack the air frantically.
After a long time, the snake-haired woman stopped attacking, fell to the ground and began to roll.
Eve's curse finally succeeded.
The excruciating pain of the curse was greatly weakened due to the difference in status and turned into a piercing itch, but it was enough for Him to bear.
The snake-haired woman roared angrily, and a sky full of frost spears swept over, followed by a sea of black fire and countless flesh and blood bombs.
The attack swept across the entire space, so wildly that even He Himself was within the coverage.
The stars on the headband lit up and went out one by one.
Even so, the wounds on Eve's body continued to increase.
The headband has turned a large area of gray.
Just when Eve was approaching her limit, the crazy attack suddenly stopped.
The snake-haired woman did not use a large-scale attack to find her enemy as she did before, but instead merged back into one and attacked the barrier frantically.
He wants to escape!
Eve's brows immediately lit up with joy, and a smile spread across her tightly furrowed brows. The joy made her tense brain relax for a moment.
In a situation where she has all the advantages, the irrational snake-haired woman wants to escape frantically. What does this mean?
The "purification" is about to be completed.
It only takes a short time, not enough time for Him to kill Eve, and the "purification" can be completed.
With success just a hair's breadth away, how could Eve let Him escape?
The girl frantically injected spirituality into her headband, reinforcing the barrier while building up barrier after barrier on the periphery.
The snake-haired woman had already destroyed three barriers, but there were barriers behind each other, one after another, as if there was no end.
The bonus of extraordinary ability made Eve like an experienced psychologist, and she could see through the despair and fear hidden in the madness of the snake-haired woman's eyes at a glance.
The translucent red crystal emerged from the body of the snake-haired woman and disappeared without a trace before He could try to stop it.
Along with the characteristics disappeared the swarm of snakes on the woman's head.
The woman rushed back and attacked all around frantically, with flesh and blood bombs flying everywhere. In addition, various extraordinary abilities were bombarding the space.
But she discovered to her despair that the barrier had not disappeared, which meant that the enemy was not dead yet.
Gradually, the recovery rate of her flesh and blood became slower and slower.
The spider silk rushed towards the woman, wrapping her tightly. Red flames ignited from the spider silk, but the hunter sequence she was herding was low, and it was not possible to burn Eve's spider silk for a while.
Following closely behind were three frost spears, which stabbed at the woman's head, neck, and heart, hitting the vital points.
Puff!
The spear pierced through her body, pinning the woman to the ground.
The head and body were separated, the head was broken into pieces, the heart was pierced, and there was red and white everywhere. The scene was extremely bloody and disgusting.
But she is not dead yet.
The red flame was still burning fiercely, and the spider silk showed signs of breaking under the burning.
But how could Eve just watch the advantage slip away, so she added several more spider silks.
As if she had noticed Eve's behavior, the headless woman struggled violently. If she still had a mouth, she would probably roar angrily like before.
The woman's flesh and blood were recovering, but the speed was far slower than before. Eve condensed many frost spears and was determined to kill her completely.
Spears fell from the sky like rain, but unexpectedly, the headless woman stopped struggling.
Immediately afterwards, thick black liquid enveloped the headless woman's body, and in an instant it covered her entire body, leaving only a shadow.
The frost spear fell on the shadow like a person falling into quicksand, being slowly but irresistibly swallowed up.
An incomplete form of a mythical creature of the Secret Prayer Path.
The thick shadow slowly swallowed up the white light, flowing in all directions and even clinging to the barrier.
Eve's face darkened and she quickly stepped back. At the same time, the starlight lit up, and lightning bolts accompanied by thunder roared towards the shadows.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There was a flash of lightning, the light even obscuring the shadows.
The stars lit up and then went out, and countless lightning bolts rushed from the sky, seemingly endless.
The shrill scream was her last elegy.
The lightning dissipated, and a silver-gray gem lay quietly in the shadow.
Eve took two steps forward and put away her characteristics.
"It takes a long time for the characteristics to emerge," Mikhail's voice echoed in his mind, "She should have died a long time ago. You almost chopped her body into pieces."
"I'm just worried that she's not dead yet." Eve said with a pale face. She felt her stomach churning.
When the sword of Damocles hanging over your head disappeared, your mind relaxed but the discomfort followed.
So disgusting.
Eve had led the city patrol team to kill extraordinary creatures before, but this was the only time the scene was so disgusting and bloody.
The smell of blood and the burnt smell of flesh struck by lightning made her wish her sense of smell had gone.
"You can't accept this?" Mikhail said, "You need to get used to it as soon as possible. The battlefield is much bloodier than this."
Eve nodded with a pale face. She knew it clearly.
"When you were fighting, the angel did feel despair, but most of it happened after you became a Sequence 3. The despair you felt during your time as an angel should not be enough to allow you to be promoted to an angel."
"The main purpose this time is to accumulate high-sequence combat experience. I don't expect to be promoted at all. Moreover, even if there is enough despair, with the help of so many external forces, the effect of the ritual will definitely be greatly reduced." Eve replied after a while.
"The next step is to create despair. To save time, let's start with Sequence Three." Mikhail's thoughtful voice echoed in his ears.
"Sequence 3 should require quite a lot," Eve objected. "Do you think I can beat it?"
"Do you know when the angel was most desperate?" Mikhail asked suddenly.
"Not before she died, but before she took on the form of a mythical creature, because that was when she realized that her hope of living had completely disappeared." Mikhail said without waiting for Eve to answer.
"You can injure the Sequence 3 Beyonder Creatures one by one, then gather them together and give them a little hope. Let them think that so many Sequence 3 Beyonder Creatures might be able to kill you, and then kill them one by one."
Eve's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. After a long while, she heard herself say, "Really... is it okay?"
"Crushing hope breeds despair, even for a madman."
(End of this chapterChapter 20 Promotion
Chapter 20 Promotion
The red moon was hanging high in the sky, and the water-like moonlight flowed into everyone's room through the windows, caressing the sleeping faces of those in their dreams.
But some people just refused the invitation of beautiful dreams, tossed and turned in bed alone, and were reluctant to fall asleep.
The quantity is enough. Do you want it today?
Eve lay on her back on the bed, reached under the pillow with one hand, took out a small mirror, and looked at the red moon in the sky in confusion.
If we delay, something bad will happen, the girl said to herself.
The mirror rippled like water, and the figure of the girl in the mirror gradually disappeared, replaced by a group of extraordinary creatures covered in scars.
This is her prey.
It took her five full months to find them one by one, injure them, and then gather them here to raise them.
Eve didn't think she had done anything wrong. Those guys fed humans and killed living creatures, so they deserved to die.
But this kind of captive behavior made Eve extremely disgusted. Some of them looked too much like humans, as if she had become one of those hateful extraordinary creatures.
That's why she locked them all in the mirror world, afraid of being discovered by others.
She didn't know whether she would be greeted with applause or disgust and fear.
Eve's white fingers slid across the mirror, counting silently in her heart:
One, two, three...
Make sure not one is missing.
This has become Eve's daily task for the past five months, but this daily task will soon be over.
The girl on the bed gradually disappeared, and at the same time her figure gradually emerged in the mirror.
Bang!
The mirror fell on the bed, reflecting the empty room. The wooden door was suddenly opened slightly, and a silver eye looked into the room through the crack.
After a while, the door was gently closed again.
In the mirror world.
Eve would often enter the mirror world, either to bring them food or to monitor whether they escaped. After five months, those extraordinary creatures had gradually gotten used to it, and except for the new members, other extraordinary creatures would no longer launch sneak attacks on Eve.
They have realized that this is useless and will only cause them more harm.
Moreover, many of the old members have almost no strength left to act.
These extraordinary creatures have huge appetites. Eve is not rich, and even if she goes out hunting every day, she cannot fill their stomachs.
Moreover, these extraordinary creatures were originally consumables for promotion, so how could Eve possibly bother to serve them?
Food, as long as you are not starving to death, that's enough.
There are no medicines at all. You have to rely entirely on your own healing ability. At best, I can keep you alive.
"Tsk," Eve dodged the sneak attack and kicked the new demon to its predecessors. The girl pursed her lips and said irritably, "The more I think about it, the more I feel like you and I are the same kind of people!"
Eve shook her head, trying to get rid of all thoughts except promotion.
She took a deep breath and opened the seal that bound them.
This ordeal will soon be over.
Those extraordinary creatures seemed very shocked. Eve looked at them with disbelief and hesitated to take the first step.
In the end, the new demon was the first to leave. When the other extraordinary creatures saw that the demon had really left, they all ran out like crazy. Even the old members who had lost their ability to move dragged their bodies and crawled out.
Eve took a deep breath and flashed in front of the demon. The frost spear condensed and pierced through the demon, nailing it in the middle of the extraordinary creatures.
In an instant, the joy on the faces of all the extraordinary creatures froze.
They realized that Eve had no intention of letting them go.
A demon wolf crouched down in a fighting stance, growling lowly from its throat.
Eve looked at it, not moving.
One after another, many extraordinary creatures took up fighting postures, intending to fight to the death. However, many chose to give up, hoping to gain a chance to survive.
This resulted in the extraordinary creatures being divided into two distinct factions.
"I will kill all of you, all of you," Eve said, pointing at the extraordinary creatures who chose to fight, and then moved her finger to the extraordinary creatures who chose to give up, "and you too."
The group of extraordinary creatures let out a long and mournful cry. Some of them staggered to their feet and walked towards the rebels, while others chose to wait for death.
All we have to do next is keep the one-sided fight going for a while.
Even though they are in poor condition and seriously injured, they have the advantage of large numbers and many extraordinary abilities.
If the fight goes on for a long time, Eve will not get any benefits, but she only needs to maintain her absolute advantage for a period of time.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...ten minutes.
Traitors have appeared in the opposition. They no longer launch attacks and begin to retreat and wait for death.
The first to flee were the surrenderists who joined the resistance, followed by the real resistance. In the end, only a few new members were still resisting, and Eve nailed them all in front of the group of extraordinary creatures.
This is the end.
All the extraordinary creatures looked at Eve tremblingly, and the atmosphere of despair filled the entire space.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's enough," Mikhail's voice appeared in his ear, "Now drink the potion."
"What if they attack us?" Eve asked with a frown.
"They won't," Mikhail said firmly.
The girl nodded, choosing to trust her fellow countryman, and took out extraordinary characteristics, auxiliary materials and pots from her space pocket, and started to mix the potion on the spot.
Eve poured the prepared potion into a glass bottle and drank it all.
All of a sudden, Eve felt her stomach was both hot and cold.
The girl's hair fluttered and condensed into strands. The texture of her hair gradually changed and became flesh, and an illusory snake head appeared at the tip.
Madness took over her entire mind, making her lose the ability to even think.
A strong despair swept over her, intensifying her madness while also bringing Eve some peace.
The girl's will clung to that little bit of calmness and rationality to fight against the madness.
Gradually, the illusory snake head disappeared, and the hair returned to its original state, quietly draped behind the girl.
The promotion was successful.
Is that what madness feels like?
Eve tilted her head and lowered her eyes to look at her beautiful black hair.
I really don't want to experience it a second time.
The girl turned her head to look at the extraordinary creatures who were quietly waiting to die, and asked, "Do you want to kill them?"
"Kill him."
The girl lowered her eyelashes, and icy spikes condensed in the air, piercing through and obliterating lives.
After watching all life turn into corpses, Eve left the mirror world.
Back in the room, Eve picked up the mirror on the bed.
What was reflected in the mirror was not the girl's figure but an empty room. The door of the room was quietly opened a crack, and a silver eye looked into the room through the crack. After a while, the door was gently closed.
Eve looked at the image in the mirror in silence and then turned the mirror upside down next to her pillow.
"You should go to sleep, Ouroboros." The girl appeared beside the bed and said to the boy who was lying on the bed with his eyes open.
"You got promoted." There was no mirror in Ouroboros' room, so Eve couldn't come in directly. "Have you been busy with promotion during this period?"
Eve nodded and said, "Go to sleep. You have to go to the choir tomorrow. Don't forget to wake me up."
"Um."
