It seems like they think of me as a perverted murderer or something?
Xia Ye thought a little speechlessly.
Although she did intend to scare the other party, the other party collapsed before she even started exerting her strength.
Besides, she just wanted Lilian to answer a few questions from me honestly... no, just a lot of questions.
After all, she still knows nothing about many things in this world, and the most convenient person to ask is of course the girl in front of her.
How about I help you up first?
She thought as she took a step towards Lillian.
Unexpectedly, this small action caused an even more violent reaction from the other party.
The girl let out a scream, her slender calves kicking randomly on the ground. She had no strength to stand up, so she could only push her body backwards in this way.
Then soon - her back hit the cold, hard wall.
There was now no way to retreat.
And the monster that summoned terrifying tentacles and wore a weird triangular hood was still approaching her step by step.
The other party deliberately walked slowly, obviously wanting to appreciate her despair for a while. Lillian thought that she might die soon, or even worse than death, and suddenly a surge of courage came into her body. She stretched out her palm and faced " "Monster", and at the same time uttered the syllables of witch script:
"D-"
"Witch's Hand" can grab items within a certain range from a distance. It is a weak but very practical magic.
A delicate and compact square-heeled leather shoe flew up and floated in the air. Only then did Lilian realize that in her panic kicking, she accidentally dropped the shoe on one foot on the ground.
The other party also stopped at this moment, turned his hood slightly, and after his eyes stayed on the leather shoes for a moment, he looked at the little foot that had lost the shoe.
Lilian blushed suddenly and involuntarily tightened her toes wrapped in translucent black stockings.
"Die, monster!"
She screamed and used the "Witch's Hand" to throw the leather shoes at the "monster". The leather shoes with body temperature flew out and accurately hit the opponent's head.
No, strictly speaking, it was a hit on the headgear.
Then, Lillian saw the headband deformed, dented, and flew out along with her leather shoes.
snort! I’ve long been disgusted by this weird headgear!
She thought with some pride, and at the same time she felt a sense of luck in her heart. Seeing that the other party couldn't dodge, maybe this monster was at the end of its strength and was just bluffing now?
——The girl has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter.
Until she saw what was underneath the hood.
nothing.
There was no head, no hideous face as imagined, nothing at all. The end of the fair neck is a flat break, and it seems that the blood red color can be seen.
This scene is countless times more terrifying than a ferocious monster head.
"Gu..."
There was an unusual sound in Lilian's throat. She opened her mouth wide as if she wanted to scream, but in the end she was unable to make any scream. Then, his eyes rolled up, his body leaned against the wall, and he fell softly.
Boom.
"Did you faint from fright?"
Xia Ye bent down her headless body, took a closer look, then stretched out her hand to check the girl's breathing, and finally confirmed that the girl had just fainted and there was no danger to her life.
Unexpectedly, the hood fell off, she thought helplessly, but that's okay, after all, it can't be hidden with this crude method, so it is better to discover it early and solve it early. The other party just happened to faint. All she had to do was think of a reasonable explanation before she woke up.
She bent down, grabbed the girl's ankles, dragged her petite body into her room, not forgetting to pick up the lonely little leather shoe, and then closed the door with a bang.
…
…
"Woo..."
The girl groaned and woke up from her coma.
She was lying on the sofa, her hands and feet were not tied by ropes or anything like that, and her clothes were completely on her body... Lillian just breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, when a headless neck appeared from above her field of vision. out.
"咿咿——"
She almost fainted from fright again.
Xia Ye stood above Lilian's head, bending down and looking down at her: "Are you awake?"
"You, you, you... what kind of monster are you?" The girl lay stiffly on the sofa, not daring to move. Before the tears on her face dried up, there were already tears rolling in her eyes: "Okay. Don't you want to kill me... Wuwu... I don't want to die yet..."
"Don't worry, I'm a witch just like you." Xia Ye replied.
"Then why do you...have no head?" The girl obviously didn't believe her answer.
"Because I sacrificed it to the great being who cannot be named directly." Xia Ye replied seriously. This was the excuse she came up with while Lilian was unconscious.
Unexpectedly, the girl blinked and asked curiously: "What is 'sacrifice'? What does 'the great being who cannot be named' mean?"
"Uh..." Xia Ye thought to herself, since you don't know what sacrifice means, why does this word exist in common language. "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that this witch can function normally without a brain."
"Oh..." Although Lillian was doubtful, she still nodded obediently.
Xia Ye was very satisfied with her reaction and continued to explain: "This witch comes from a far away place..."
But just as she started, she was suddenly interrupted by Lilian's exclamation:
"Eh?! So you are a traveling witch?!"
The girl suddenly sat up from the sofa. Not only was her expression no longer as scared as before, she seemed to be a little surprised.
"What is the traveling witch?" This time it was Xia Ye who looked confused... Oh, no, she has no face.
"She is a witch who can cross the etheric sea alone and travel from city to city." Lilian explained, "You said you came from a far away place. You must have crossed the etheric sea to get here, right?"
What is the etheric sea? From what the other person said, cities in this world are all isolated from each other?
Although there were still many questions, Xia Ye did not ask any more questions, but answered matter-of-factly: "Yes, I am the 'traveling witch' you call me."
"No wonder, no wonder..."
"What's so surprising?"
"No wonder you can move freely without a brain. Traveling witches are very powerful witches. For someone as powerful as you, not having a brain is not a big deal at all, right?"
"Well... yes, yes, of course." Xia Ye answered with her hands on her hips, hiding her guilty conscience.
"Ah, by the way... I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Lilian." The girl stood up from the sofa, smiled, and extended her hand to Xia Ye.
"Summer night."
Xia Ye also stretched out her hand and shook it. The other person's palm was as soft as boneless, and her skin was as smooth and delicate as Dove chocolate... Of course, her own was no less generous, hehe.
"Speaking of which, Miss Lillian, I have a question from the beginning."
"Huh?"
"Why aren't you afraid of me now that you know I'm a traveling witch?"
"Eh? Because...because since you are the traveling witch, you are no longer a monster."
"However, there should be no clear explanation. The traveling witch must be a good person, right? If I were a bad person who kills without blinking an eye, wouldn't that be more terrifying than a monster?"
"..." After hearing Xia Ye's words, the smile on Lilian's face suddenly froze.
