Miss Luo Yan’s Feet Are Buried With Corpses v3c43

Witch’s Night: Chapter 43 Want to See? Miss Luo Yan

While other mega-cities were preparing to attend the Ten Cities Council, Noah naturally also had to make preparations to welcome the envoys.

An area within Noah’s core, “The Ark,” was set aside specifically for receiving the visiting delegations.

In the New Era, although they lacked the highly developed infrastructure capabilities of the Old Era, they had ability users who could reshape the world.

Several civil engineering ability users were urgently deployed, building hotels and inns of various styles from scratch in this empty space, ensuring that delegations from all over the continent could feel comfortable.

Although Illusion let Luo Yan wander around Noah freely, she didn’t completely ignore her, at least she arranged accommodation in advance.

Before parting at the station, Illusion had already given Luo Yan the address and key to her residence.

As the sun was setting, the group, who rarely went out shopping, had been wandering around for most of the day and it was almost time to rest.

Actually, Luo Yan was fine. At least for now, with sufficient life force, her physique was quite good.

The same applied to Cecilia. After all, she was a “Ruin” level ability user, even though she couldn’t use most of her power.

It was Anna who wanted to rest…

She was just an ordinary person, and her early experiences as a refugee had left her with some lingering injuries. Several of her joints ached faintly on rainy days.

So, to accommodate Anna, Luo Yan led them along the address given by Illusion.

Although Luo Yan was directionally challenged in the Void, she had no problems in the real world, and soon they found their accommodation.

“Wow…”

Cecilia and Anna exclaimed in unison.

Luo Yan stared at the slip of paper Illusion gave her, then at the building in front of her, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly,

“This isn’t right,” Luo Yan said doubtfully, “Did Saint Illusion give me the wrong address? Why is it this place?”

“It should… be correct, right?”

Anna sniffed slightly, a bit reluctantly. She was currently being carried on Luo Yan’s back, after all, crossing several parishes in a row was still too much for her.

Even when walking, ability users were much faster than ordinary people, and even if she could keep up with the pace, her stamina wouldn’t hold.

Except for certain ability users, such as God’s Chosen and Calamity Infected, who suffered from illnesses due to their abilities’ flaws, ordinary ability users’ physical qualities completely surpassed those of ordinary people, even mental ability users were no exception.

“So beautiful, so big.”

Cecilia looked up, her amber eyes wide with wonder, staring at the building in front of them.

“Why isn’t it an apartment?”

Luo Yan voiced her confusion directly. Since leaving Ghost Town, she had basically been living in apartments.

And she had also spent some time in hospitals…

What stood before them was a mansion with a distinct Eastern architectural style. Heavy iron rings hung on the thick, red-lacquered double doors, and there was a blank plaque above the doorway.

And on both sides of the gate were two imposing stone lions, baring their fangs and claws, looking somewhat ferocious.

It was… a bit too luxurious.

“Don’t you have a key?”

Anna pointed at a glowing metal plate in Luo Yan’s hand.

Actually, calling it a metal plate wasn’t quite accurate. It was a card made of some kind of metal, far harder than ordinary steel, and it seemed to contain some kind of special spiritual energy.

“How do I use it…”

Luo Yan took out the metal card and approached the mansion gate.

Suddenly, the two stone lions on both sides lit up simultaneously, and a mechanical voice sounded,

“Verifying identity… verification complete. Welcome back, Miss Luo Yan.”

As the voice fell, the gate slowly opened.

“Eh, it really is.” Anna sighed.

Luo Yan was also a little surprised, finding it hard to believe that Noah had actually arranged such good accommodation for her, not a cramped apartment.

However, if this scene were seen by other Eastern mega-cities besides Yan City, they would be spitting blood.

What kind of classical-style building would have this kind of access control system?! It was too out of place!

Fortunately, Yan City was built later, and Luo Yan and the others hadn’t seen a real Eastern mansion before, so their acceptance of this style was quite high.

The task of allocating accommodation to Luo Yan naturally wasn’t handled by Illusion personally, but by the Knight-Captain, according to the standards for mega-city representatives.

The Knight-Captain figured that Miss Luo Yan was from Yan City (at least that was what the records said), so he assigned her an Eastern-style mansion.

But actually, Luo Yan was more used to Western-style castles… However, she didn’t mind, after all, an apartment was also fine.

It was worth noting that these buildings, constructed according to the customs of various places, actually all used the same template.

Whether it was futuristic or classical style, there were only differences in appearance. Other aspects, such as locks and various equipment, used the same standards.

That’s why the guardian lions of an Eastern mansion were used as an access control system… In a way, it seemed appropriate.

After entering through the heavy red doors, there was a small courtyard with some flowers and plants scattered around.

In the center was a rock garden, and several fountains were hidden within, gently spraying water.

Further inside was the residence itself, but overall, it wasn’t very large. Inside, there were probably just a few rooms and a hall, it could only be said to be a miniature Eastern mansion.

After all, there were many mega-cities visiting for the Ten Cities Council. Even if there weren’t ten thousand, there were definitely at least a thousand, so they could only make do with the space available.

But for Luo Yan, who was used to living in apartments, Cecilia, who had never left the old residential building, and Anna, who rarely went out, it was still quite impressive.

Cecilia excitedly ran around the mansion. Anna originally wanted to run around too, but she felt it would be embarrassing to lose her composure in front of Miss Luo Yan, so she held back.

Luo Yan stood at the entrance, observing the entire mansion with interest.

Just then, a gentle knock came from the gate behind her,

“Excuse me, is anyone there?”

A soft, pleasant voice sounded, seemingly carrying a relaxing power.

“Who is it?”

Luo Yan turned her head and asked in a low voice. Cecilia immediately stopped running and hid behind the rock garden with Anna.

“I live nearby,” the gentle voice said, “I just wanted to meet the new neighbor. Is it convenient?”

“Neighbor?” Luo Yan was stunned. “Oh, oh… of course, it’s convenient.”

She didn’t immediately react to the word “neighbor,” because whether it was in Ghost Town, Yan City, or Lannister, there hadn’t been anyone else living near her.

This was her first time encountering a neighbor visiting.

After fumbling for a moment, Luo Yan opened the heavy, red-lacquered gate.

A woman dressed as a nun stood at the doorway, her figure completely concealed by a loose-fitting habit.

The nun’s veil was also tightly wrapped, and even more striking was that her eyes were covered with black cloth.

“Ah, hello…”

Luo Yan couldn’t help but take a few more glances, then extended her hand, intending to shake hands with the nun.

“Hello.”

The nun said softly, but naturally took Luo Yan’s hand, slightly bent down, and kissed it.

Luo Yan, who had never experienced this before, was startled and instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.

But then she thought, there was indeed such a thing as a kissing greeting, perhaps the other party was just being polite?

The nun’s lips only lightly touched her hand before she let go, looked up at Luo Yan, and smiled politely,

“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Marytis, and as you can see, I am a nun.”

“My name is Luo Yan,” Luo Yan quickly withdrew her hand, a rare look of panic appearing on her face. “Um… I don’t seem to have anything to do at the moment.”

“Unexpectedly, Miss Luo Yan is so… unexpectedly cute,” Marytis chuckled softly, covering her mouth. “I thought you would be the cold and indifferent type, which would be a bit boring.”

“Uh…”

Luo Yan didn’t know how to respond. She rarely interacted with strangers in this way, especially now that she was in a completely unfamiliar place.

But for some reason, Luo Yan felt an inexplicable closeness to this nun.

Perhaps because of her status as a nun?

There hadn’t been any nuns in the church in Ghost Town, only a priest, so Luo Yan didn’t know what nuns were like.

As for the nuns mentioned in Hua Qiling’s book collection, she couldn’t imagine them corresponding to reality…

At least the illustrations were different. Marytis’s attire was very conservative, giving a solemn impression.

“Are you here to attend the Ten Cities Council?” Marytis turned slightly, her covered eyes seemingly looking at the two small heads peeking out from behind the rock garden. “Such young city representatives, are the mega-cities so dismissive now?”

“No, they have special reasons… They’re just here to travel?”

Luo Yan touched her chin. Although it sounded absurd, it was the truth.

“Are you also here to attend the Ten Cities Council?” Luo Yan asked curiously. “If you don’t mind me asking, which mega-city are you from?”

Marytis shook her head and replied, “No, I just live nearby, I’m not a representative attending the council.”

“I see,” Luo Yan said, only then noticing that Marytis didn’t seem to be carrying a cane. “Wait, how did you walk here?”

Luo Yan had also experienced a period of blindness. Unless one had Hua Qiling’s ability, even if they could use breathing techniques or spiritual power to sense their surroundings, it was very difficult to walk normally without a cane.

“I can see, I just cover my eyes for certain reasons.”

Marytis said softly, unknowingly leaning closer to Luo Yan and whispering in her ear,

“Want to see? Miss Luo Yan.

“See… my eyes.”

Luo Yan, who was always the one influencing others mentally, felt for the first time that she seemed to be influenced, but when she came back to her senses, she only saw Marytis’s gentle smile close at hand.

“No need, Miss Marytis,” Luo Yan slightly turned her face away, her ears slightly red. “I just… because I had a similar situation before, so I just asked out of curiosity.”

“Truly… even cuter,” Marytis giggled. “I like you very much, Miss Luo Yan, really.”

Luo Yan was at a loss for words. This was the first time someone had directly and openly expressed their liking for her, and it felt… somewhat serious.

After a moment of panic, Luo Yan said with a straight face,

“…Thank you?”

“You shouldn’t respond like that at this time, Miss Luo Yan,” Marytis restrained her laughter and said with a hint of amusement, “Has Miss Luo Yan never been confessed to before?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Cecilia and Anna behind her.

“Marytis, please stop teasing me…”

Luo Yan said with a wry smile, feeling a little overwhelmed. She had never encountered someone like Marytis before.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore,” Marytis took a few steps back. “It seems Miss Luo Yan is still busy today, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Marytis paused, then smiled slightly and continued, “I won’t disturb your wonderful night with the two little ones. As for us… little white flower, we’ll have another opportunity in the future.”

“What wonderful night…”

Luo Yan was stunned, and before she could react, Marytis had already quietly left.

“Has that big sister left?” Cecilia took small steps closer to Luo Yan, nervously looking around. “She… she made Cecilia feel very uncomfortable.”

“I always felt that nun was strange,” Anna patted her chest, looking like she was still in shock. “She was clearly blindfolded, but when she looked over, I felt a creepy sensation, as if someone was staring at me from behind.”

Luo Yan hesitated for a moment and didn’t mention her inexplicable feeling of closeness. She just nodded,

“It’s alright, we won’t open the door for her next time she comes.”

As they were talking, a small group of maids walked over.

The head maid was startled to see the open mansion gate, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Yan behind the door,

“So it’s Miss Luo Yan, I thought the security system was broken.”

“Are you…”

Luo Yan looked at the maids, all in uniform, and showed a strange expression.

These maid outfits were somewhat similar to the ones she wore in Ghost Town, only the material was much better.

“We’re here to clean the house,” the head maid replied, “And we’ll also be responsible for your daily needs. Considering you’re all young ladies, we didn’t arrange any male servants to avoid suspicion.”

“There’s even this kind of treatment?”

Luo Yan blinked. This was very different from her experiences in Yan City and Lannister.

“However, we might have to trouble Miss Luo Yan and the others to bear with us a little,” the head maid, wearing round-rimmed glasses, bowed apologetically. “Originally, there should have been more attentive service, but with the council meeting approaching, we could only barely gather ten maids. We hope you don’t mind.”
