Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 2 Sorry, I’m a police officer
  "Everyone's rooms have been arranged. It's getting late, so everyone should go to bed early."

"Tomorrow I will take you to the academy for the assessment. Even if you fail the assessment, don't be discouraged. You are all outstanding talents who started your first soul contract under the age of twenty. I believe the military will also open the door to you."

The gentle voice of the aristocratic woman named An Linna made these young people who were originally a little uneasy feel relieved.

Suddenly someone stood up and said with a blushing face: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, Miss Anlina! Is there still a lack of servants in the lady's house?"

Anlina was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, covering her smile with her white palms: "There is no shortage of servants for the time being, but if you are willing, I just need a personal bodyguard. "

"It is my honor to be your bodyguard!"

The young man blushed and spoke loudly, which also attracted the envious eyes of others around him.

They were all born in remote villages on the border. Because they were found to have excellent soul aptitudes and the potential to become beast masters, their tribesmen raised funds and sent them to the metropolis Lesa for better development.

Whether it is to pass the examination and become a student of the Beast Control Academy, or to join the military and get training from the military, it is one of their goals.

Of course, if you can join a noble's mansion and get reused, that would also be a good choice.

and--

Many young people at the scene unconsciously looked at Alina's graceful figure with fiery eyes, secretly swallowing a sip of saliva, and their hearts were full of jealousy and envy for the lucky person who spoke first.

That is a personal bodyguard, and he can get along with Miss Anlina day and night. If he is lucky, it will not be a delusion even if he embraces the beauty.

However, someone spoke first and got the only vacant position. These young people who were ready to make a move had to suppress their impulse.

Anlina didn't seem to be angry at those undisguised fiery glances. Instead, she looked around with a smile and gently raised the wine glass in her hand.

"Then, I'll give you one last toast."

Her words were soft and melodious, as if carrying some unknown magic power, which calmed the heat in the hearts of the people around her, and they all followed her words and raised their glasses.

"I seemed to see a large group of vibrant leeks waiting in line to be cut by a sickle."

Seeing the fiery gazes around the auditorium looking at Anlina, Xia Ya looked at them with a hint of sympathy.

Although there are pet beasts and magical technology, the level of intellectual enlightenment of the people in this world is indeed only at the level of the Middle Ages. At first glance, it seems that they have not experienced heavy money for a child or -8000 beatings. No awareness.

Thinking about it this way, developing an anti-fraud app in this world may be quite promising.

While thinking wildly, Xia Ya's spirit moved slightly.

The next moment, a delicate silver-white figure quietly appeared on Xia Ya's shoulder.

That small touch of silvery white faded silently, blending into the night outside the window, and was never noticed by anyone.

After completing all this, Xia Ya also raised the glass vessel in his hand, and the bright red wine gurgled down.

Although he has used his mind as a time traveler over the years to copy documents and successfully learn marketing, he has gained a lot of wealth through deception and abduction, and he has even secretly controlled some industries.

But in order to complete that cheating task, most of the money Xia Ya earned was filled in. Just to excavate the ruins of the Cangting Principality, nearly a hundred people were hired for many archaeological expeditions, which also led to his long-term In a pocket-flat state.

Because of this, although it is not the main target, Xia Ya will naturally not miss the wanted bounty for him.

There is no other way. After entering the archaeological sinkhole, even the landlord's family will have no surplus food.

"It's getting late, let me take everyone back to your room to rest."

Looking around the audience and witnessing everyone at the dinner drinking wine, Anlina spoke softly again.

Even so, her figure did not move at all, and her soft voice seemed to contain some forcibly suppressed passionate emotions.

After a few breaths.

bang——

bang——

This is the dull sound made by the collision of flesh and blood with the ground.

It was not a single special case. In an instant, the messy sound of tables and chairs colliding and scattering echoed throughout the hall.

"There are paralytic toxins in the wine, Miss Anlina! Someone wants to do something evil to you!" A dry voice came from the mouth of the lucky man who was the first to speak and got the position. He had fallen to the ground unable to move at this moment. , but still spoke a warning regardless of his own safety, obviously claiming to be a personal guard.

What responded to him was an indifferent and cold look.

And, a fine steel dagger that tore the skin on his neck and made all his expressions stiff and solidified.

The blood and flesh splattered, causing Anlinna's originally soft face to become stained with an unnatural blush.

She pulled out the dagger from the body that had fallen to the ground, and looked down at the people in the auditorium who were lying crookedly on the floor, with an undisguised look of madness in her eyes.

"You opened the first soul contract at such a young age. You are all geniuses and elites with high hopes in your hometown."

"It's really enviable. They are obviously a group of humble commoners, but they are worthy of having such an enviable talent."

Behind her, the dark smoke quietly dispersed, converging into a butterfly-like shape.

The wings condensed by black smoke bear horrific patterns like bones and skulls, which is completely opposite to the butterfly that people have in mind flying among the flowers.

"However, the more talented you are, the more delicious your unwillingness and despair will be when you are struggling to death, isn't it?"

The entire auditorium became silent. The paralyzing poison in the wine had spread. At this time, they had even lost control of their vocal cords.

They could only watch with horrified and desperate eyes as this noble lady, who was originally kind and kind in their minds, walked towards them step by step with a stainless steel dagger in her hand.

Behind Anlina, the black butterfly engraved with the pattern of dead bones flapped its wings, and wisps of black mist came from the exhausted figures who fell to the ground, and then merged into the black butterfly behind her, letting the soul and Anlinna, who was connected to her pet beast, had a look of intoxication on her pretty face.

The nightmare butterfly feeds on other people's souls and negative emotions such as fear and despair.

Such an evil beast is naturally not tolerated by the world.

But in the face of the pleasure of gaining power, secular legal principles, or things like the glory of the nobility, have long been forgotten by Anna.

If not, she wouldn't have gone to great lengths to pretend to be kind and accepted batch after batch of trainee beastmasters with no background but outstanding talents, pure and delicious souls.

During this period of time, she has been suppressing her true nature and trying hard to put on a kind face.

At this moment, it is finally time to harvest.

They are just a group of untouchables from remote villages and towns. Even if they disappear, no one in Ressa will care.

With this thought in mind, Anlina, who no longer suppressed her true nature, began to move with an elegant pace that made her even more distraught.

She came to another figure lying on the ground, and the raised dagger was about to do something.

But then, out of the corner of her eye, her movement stopped in mid-air.

Anlina turned her head silently, and then looked at the black-haired boy in the corner who was leaning on the dining table, chewing melon seeds out of boredom.

"Who is you?"

Among the prey this time, the black-haired boy was not conspicuous, and he only left a vague impression on her of being taciturn.

However, there was no doubt that he had also drank the wine just now, a fact she confirmed with her own eyes.

Even a high-level beast master would never be able to resist the drug without summoning a pet beast to provide physical bonuses.

However, at this moment, the other party was actually cracking melon seeds unhurriedly, his movements were graceful, and he seemed not to be affected at all by the shocking incident just now.

"You look like you've drunk a lot, but you haven't even touched a drop of alcohol. This is a basic skill for nobles. From the first glance, you've never experienced the torture of the drinking culture."

"In our time, if we didn't master this skill, we would become a sugar man before the age of thirty."

As if he had read through Anlina's thoughts, Xia stopped what he was doing.

He straightened his clothes and pinned a badge on his chest.

"Sorry, I'm a police officer."
