Chapter 76: A Sudden Attack
Luo Yuxi walked down the street, recalling the previous scene. Isabelle was clearly hiding something, not just from her, but from Alice as well. But at least she had learned one useful piece of information: Alice’s mother was the previous Vampire Queen.
“Why wasn’t such important information in the game…?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the History of Witches on her panel, thinking she should read it later. Although she didn’t know who the author, the Nameless Witch, was, the book had been a great help.
“I can use the game’s plot as a reference for future events, but for the past, I’ll have to rely on this book…”
Luo Yuxi opened the panel, wondering where to start, when she felt an evil gaze from a nearby corner.
“Master~ So good, it’s Master~ After turning me into this, making me fall into witchhood, you just ignore me? Such a cruel Master~”
It was Ann, the Sin and Punishment Witch. Although she was the Seat of Justice, her body was now shrouded in a dark, ominous aura, nothing like a bishop. Her eyes were filled with hearts, her face flushed, her legs clamped together as if suppressing something.
“Ah, Master’s scent, Master’s appearance, Master’s hands, Master’s feet, Master’s body~ No, after leaving me here for so long, I’m falling in love with Master again~”
Ann writhed, passersby instinctively avoiding her. A little girl, seeing her strange behavior, asked her mother,
“Mommy, what’s that big sister doing?”
“Don’t look, you’ll understand when you’re older. Let’s go, let’s go…”
Ann, oblivious to the stares, continued to admire Luo Yuxi from afar. Then, she remembered something and pulled out a romance novel.
“If I can make Master fall in love with me, then we can love each other. No, just thinking about it is too much~”
Ann excitedly flipped through the pages, reading about a fateful encounter at a street corner, a collision that opened the door to happiness. An idea formed in her mind.
“If I create a chance encounter, I might have a chance to talk to Master. If I knock her over, maybe…~”
Ann imagined herself feigning panic, bumping into Luo Yuxi at a corner. Luo Yuxi, angry, would step on her and say,
“Who do you think you are? A mere slave, daring to bump into me? I’ll teach you what cruelty is…”
“Sob, Master’s punishment is so big and hard~ Hiss, haa~”
The thought of the punishment excited Ann. She teleported to a corner on Luo Yuxi’s path, her body trembling with anticipation.
“Master’s punishment, just thinking about it is unbearable~”
Luo Yuxi, unaware of the impending danger, was still reading the information on her panel, planning her next move.
“It even has detailed information on the Seven Deadly Sins, but I’ve already met most of them. Wait, there’s a record of the Pride Witch…”
As she was about to read it, a dark shadow rushed out from the corner. Luo Yuxi felt a powerful impact, like the bomb from her previous life, her organs feeling displaced.
“So fast…!”
Her first thought was that someone was trying to assassinate her. The shadow was incredibly fast, she couldn’t even resist. She was sent flying, crashing into a wall, blood trickling down her forehead, blurring her vision. She looked at the shadowy figure before her.
“Damn it, an assassination? Who is it? My consciousness is fading…”
“I used too much force!”
“Damn it… is this the end…?”
Luo Yuxi fainted before she could see her attacker. Ann stood there awkwardly, looking at Luo Yuxi embedded in the wall. This wasn’t what she had imagined. She finally came to her senses.
“I forgot I’m a 3rd Order, and Master is a few levels lower. I accidentally used too much force…”
Ann looked around, then, seeing no one, began to heal Luo Yuxi. But as a fallen witch, her divine arts were weakened. She looked around again, then slung Luo Yuxi over her shoulder.
“I was too excited. I have to get her to a hospital, what if I killed her?!”
Ann ran towards a nearby hospital.
“Oh, it’s Ann! I didn’t expect to see you here~”
Duo Mama, the Seat of Tolerance, was standing at the hospital entrance. She still looked gentle and kind, with her generous figure. Ann, seeing her, didn’t hesitate and shoved Luo Yuxi into her arms. Duo Mama looked at the unconscious Luo Yuxi, confused.
“Luo Yuxi? Why is she so injured? Her bones are all broken! Was she ambushed by a witch?!”
“Uh… something like that… you could say she was ambushed by a witch…”
“But with such injuries, you could have just healed her, right?”
Duo Mama looked at Ann, who looked away guiltily. Duo Mama’s body glowed, and she bathed Luo Yuxi in holy light. Luo Yuxi’s bones snapped back into place, and her injuries healed in seconds.
“Click, clack, click…”
“Alright…”
Luo Yuxi slowly opened her eyes, feeling like she had just had a nightmare, but her body felt incredibly comfortable.
“Uh, who am I? Where am I? No, wait, I was ambushed!”
Luo Yuxi looked around nervously, then relaxed. Duo Mama gently put her down. Luo Yuxi looked at the two of them.
“I was ambushed by a dark figure! They were so fast, I was defeated in an instant!”
“Alright, calm down. Ann brought you here, she must have saved you, right?”
Duo Mama comforted Luo Yuxi. Luo Yuxi rubbed her head, recalling the speed and power of her attacker. If it hadn’t been in Church territory, she would have been killed.
“Thank you both. I don’t know who it was, but I’ll be more careful next time…”
Luo Yuxi looked at her torn clothes, not expecting to be in danger in the Church. Ann, the culprit, stood silently at the side, trying to be invisible.
“I can’t let her know it was me…”
Luo Yuxi returned to her apartment, still wondering why she had been attacked. Meanwhile, on the other side, Yun Keke had also encountered something strange.
