House Witch

Chapter 778 777. The Will of Seven

 “Sheep-eating demon?”

Looking at the line written by Audrey, Dorothy tilted her head slightly, but she was not too surprised by this.

After all, she had been mentally prepared for the fact that there was a problem in this orphanage. Now the junior sister's words gave her a feeling that was exactly what I expected, and a big stone fell in her heart.

Moreover, she had watched a lot of horror movies in her previous life, and she was familiar with all kinds of supernatural horrors, blood plasma violence movies, etc., and as for the current setting where there is a demon in the orphanage who wants to eat the sheep, She could only give a two-word evaluation.

That's it?

 There is one thing to say, it’s a bit cliché.

 After a long time of fussing, this is still a game about killing monsters and upgrading them. Come on, where are the monsters? I'm ready to defeat them.

If the devil had been mentioned in her previous life, Dorothy might have hesitated. After all, it was an extraordinary existence that humans could hardly resist. But in this life, she was a witch herself, so how could she still be afraid of the devil who was also a natural disaster with the witch? Woolen cloth.

 Fear comes from the unknown, and demons are no longer unknown to her now. As a top student, she also has some knowledge of demonology.

"What kind of devil is he specifically? Which original sin faction does he belong to? He likes blood sacrifices and eating sheep so much. Is he from the gluttony family? Does it have any characteristics? If I know its specific appearance, I can roughly distinguish its family lineage. , as long as you know the devil's origins, you will have a way to banish it."

 Dorothy asked.

With their current mortal bodies that have lost their magic power, it is very difficult for them to confront a demon, even a low-level demon. However, as the apostles of original sin and the embodiment of desire, demons are evil but they also have Another quality is equally famous.

That means that although he is cunning, he will abide by the contract.

Well, although demons usually use countless ways to manipulate the content of the contract and trick you into signing all kinds of unfair demon contracts, but that is all a contest before the contract is signed, and once the demon contract is signed, not only Only the humans who signed the contract must abide by the contract, and the same goes for the demons who made the contract.

 Therefore, if you are smart enough to detect the tricks in the devil's contract and are not blinded by the various immediate benefits promised by the devil, then you and the devil are at the same starting point.

As long as you can defeat the devil in this battle of cunning and trickery, then no matter how powerful the devil is, she will be bound by the contract she made.

 You can take the opportunity to banish this terrible demon back to the abyss, or even go one step further, you can enslave this demon and become a demon warlock from then on.

Based on this characteristic, among the three old disasters, demons are the most difficult but also the easiest to deal with.

The difficulty is that not only are they powerful, they are also cunning.

 The good thing is that although they are powerful, they are also very cunning.

If Audrey told Dorothy that the one hiding in the orphanage was not a demon, but an angel or a giant dragon, the witch would definitely run away on the spot without saying a word.

  After all, these two are almost impossible to communicate with. They will not give you a chance to talk, and it will be easy for you to die immediately.

  But demons, this group of evil beings who like to torture their prey before enjoying their meal, like cats, have more room for maneuver.

Unfortunately, facing the expectations of her senior sister, Audrey Yang lowered her head and became a little ashamed. She picked up the paper and pen again and started writing.

"I'm sorry, senior sister, I don't have any more information. After all, I just came here last night, and I was ostracized and fearful of society. I didn't dare to take the initiative to collect information. I got this information from other lambs' chats. I guessed it myself, but I’m not sure if it’s accurate.”

 Dorothy: "."

Asked the lonely otaku witch to calm down.

Well, she was a little too impatient. Not everyone could finish two levels non-stop as soon as they entered the game like her. Normally, this first night was still the stage of gathering intelligence.

However, she still trusts her junior sister's judgment. After all, Audrey has half the blood of a demon witch, and she can actually be regarded as a demon herself. Therefore, even if she majors in the spiritual school rather than the summoning school Demon Warlock, but her own demonology attainments are quite good.

 After all, no one knows the devil better than the devil.

 “So where did you deduce that there was a demon in this orphanage?”

Dorothy asked, she needed more information to deduce how to clear the level in the Lamb's Yard.

 In response to this, Audrey Yang immediately continued to write furiously.

"That's it, senior sister, there is a strange rule in this lamb yard. Every month, a lamb will be adopted."

 “Isn’t this a normal thing?”

 Looking at the content on the paper held by the junior sister, the otaku witch said this.

Well, the main function of the orphanage is to take in homeless children and then find new families for them. Children are adopted every month. This is really normal.

"It's indeed normal, but it's not normal to have exactly one child every month. I asked someone specifically to ask, and then I found out that the adoption days are even fixed every month, so precise. That’s right, senior sister, this is too abnormal.”

Meiyangyang raised the paper in her hand, with an expression on her cute and beautiful sheep face that said, "There must be something ghost in this".

Of course, Dorothy also believed this.

 She couldn't help feeling that this junior sister was indeed from an intelligence family. Her powers of observation and carefulness were truly amazing.

If she were to investigate on her own, her somewhat careless character might not find it strange that people in the orphanage are being adopted every month, and naturally she would not go out of her way to investigate the adoption time.

  It wouldn’t be until she had lived here for two months and gone through the adoption process twice that she would realize something was wrong.

Hmm, this is the difference between being careful and not being careful. Her personality is not very suitable for tasks related to intelligence collection and sorting.

 Luckily, the first level she was born in last night was not the Lamb Yard, otherwise she might have spent a long time just in the process of collecting and sorting out information.

 Fortunately, a junior sister came here first. She can just sit back and enjoy her achievements this time, which is great.

“Well, this is indeed a problem, but if it’s just like this, it has nothing to do with demons or anything, right?”

Dorothy nodded, admitted that the date was indeed unusual, and then continued to ask.

If this is just an abnormality, the most you can do is suspect that this Lamb Courtyard may have some special rules or is just doing some invisible things, but this is still within the scope of what mortals can understand, and has nothing to do with demons or anything like that. relation. "Well, that's true, but except for the director's room, which is not open to us lambs, all other places in this orphanage are open to us. We need our help in maintenance and cleaning."

"Well, that's true, but except for the director's room, which is not open to us lambs, all other places in this orphanage are open to us. We need our help in maintenance and cleaning."

"And today, senior sister, we had just cleaned the library before you came. All the files and information about Lamb are kept there, so I took a look at it."

  Audrey continued to write.

“After I noticed the anomaly in the adoption, I went to check the files of the adopted lambs. It stands to reason that the adopter information of such adopted children would also be recorded and kept in the orphanage.”

“But that’s not the case here. There is no record of who adopted the child in the files of all adopted children. It’s just a cold red seal.”

I can only say that he is from an art background. The little fox’s calligraphy is very beautiful, graceful and pleasing to the eye. It is completely different from the ugly handwriting written by a beetle in the previous mission prop letter.

Furthermore, Audrey is also good at drawing, so she perfectly reproduced the appearance of the seal on paper.

 “Out of the market?”

 Looking at the two words on the seal, the otaku witch was stunned.

 Hey guys, you call adoption a breeder, right?

But then again, she remembered that Grandma Sheep had said similar words to her just now, saying that she was already so old and could be put into the market soon.

ˆˆemmmmm

At that time, Dorothy felt that this sounded very wrong, and combined with the information Audrey gave now, this was not only wrong, it was almost scary.

What on earth is this ghost orphanage doing? Is it treating people like animals and then slaughtering them?

 Although this world seems to have a human appearance so far, except for her, everyone else is just painted in the animal world, and they are indeed regarded as animals.

"Sister, the word "slaughter" is wrong no matter how you look at it. It always reminds people of slaughterhouses and so on. And normally, even if they are adopted, those adopted children will still maintain certain contact with the orphanage. This is emotion and basic etiquette, but all the lambs in the lamb yard have not received any news since the day they left, as if they have disappeared from the world."

 Audrey continued to write down lines of text quickly and elegantly. She lifted them up one by one and showed them to the senior sister in front of her.

 And Dorothy looked at this, and her expression was not very good.

Although she herself doesn't like those naughty children very much, and she just bullied them severely, but no matter what, as a person, an adult, when she sees this kind of thing, she still can't help it. Anger welled up.

 Okay, now it is almost certain that there are demons. Even though they may not be demons, there is still a 100% chance that demons exist in the human world.

 “Well, luckily this is a game. Who wrote the script? It’s really uncomfortable.”

Dorothy suppressed the anger in her heart and comforted herself in this way.

It’s just that what she is facing now may be a fictional game script, but are all such scripts in reality?

The otaku witch thought of this, and then her mood became less and less beautiful.

 Alas, the scariest thing in the world is not a haunted house, but the human heart.

But forget it, the most important thing is to get through the level first, and don’t think about those unhappy things.

Dorothy shook her head, no longer allowing herself to be internalized because of things that were beyond her power to change.

  After all, even someone as strong as the three kings would have difficulty controlling the hearts of the people in the world, let alone a little witch like her.

That is something that only an omniscient and omnipotent **** can do.

However, although she can't change people's hearts, the witch can beat the owner of people's hearts. If she can't change your heart, I can't change you as a person, right?

  The house witch is already thinking about how to carry out a demolition plan for this devil's orphanage.

But Audrey's words are not over yet, Junior Sister Yang is still writing furiously.

"Of course, if that's the case, it might just be an activity in the mortal world. What really makes me sure that there are demons in this orphanage is the strange adoption rules here."

"I checked the information in the library and heard some information from other lambs. I found that the adoption rules of this orphanage are not for outsiders to choose which children to adopt, but for the children themselves to choose."

“There will be an election in the lamb yard every month, and all the lambs will participate. The dean will ask everyone to vote to decide who is the best lamb, and the lamb with the most votes will be adopted.”

“This method is not common in human trading activities, but in the devil’s game contract, this is one of the most classic methods of playing with people’s hearts.”

“So, I judge that the unknown being who received the lamb was probably not a mortal, but a sheep-eating demon.”

The little fox wrote such a long paragraph in one breath, then looked up at the senior sister, waiting for her answer.

  In fact, it is a bit arbitrary to judge someone to be a demon based on this special rule, and there is obviously insufficient evidence, but this is the subconscious inspiration of Audrey who has been a demon for many years and a half.

Although she had lost her magic power and the body of a witch at this time, this inexplicable inspiration was still there, and Audrey felt that what she thought must be right.

It's just that she has never been confident. If she were alone, she might prepare the next move based on this speculation, but now that the senior sister is here, the little fox simply gave up thinking on her own and chose to follow the senior sister.

"This is indeed a bit forced, but I know it in my heart. Let's not act in a hurry and observe more before talking."

Dorothy thought for a while and said this:

She generally agreed with her junior sister's speculation. Even though the speculation that the last murderer was a demon was obviously flawed and too arbitrary, the otaku witch still chose to believe Audrey.

 This is also an intuition.

However, there is still a long way to go before the clues are complete and the evidence is sufficient. Therefore, it is better to investigate more before taking action. She always feels that there is still some key information missing.

“Oh, by the way, when is the adoption day this month? Is it far away?”

Dorothy asked, remembering this.

 “It’s not that far away, it’ll be the day after tomorrow.”

 Audrey thought for a while and then wrote,

  Otaku Witch: “.”

send.

 The little witch is coming out
