Miss Rabbit—oh no, she should be called Anne Fox now.
She never expected that after helping a tormented young girl escape her suffering, she would meet Yu Yinchuan again at the Angel Rose.
Perhaps this was the deserved blessing for occasionally showing great kindness?
That's right, Miss Rabbit didn't forcibly take Anne's body as she usually would; instead, it was Anne's own choice.
She found Miss Rabbit, made a request, and Miss Rabbit fulfilled it...
——
A few days ago.
Miss Rabbit, who had recently escaped the pursuit of the New Elder Council, was wandering through the chaotic district known as the true Garden Street, hidden behind the Angel Rose Theater, just as she had been doing in the days since her escape...
Firstly, although this small area concealed many things that were extremely dangerous to ordinary people, for her, it was an excellent hiding place.
Here, perhaps, was the only place in the entire Free City, apart from Constantine's manor, that could completely avoid the prying eyes of Ariel.
The advantage of Ariel Company's high-quality and affordable products could not be a reason for Psychic and urban legend with various secrets to accept being spied upon.
Of course, hiding her tracks and avoiding the New Elder Council was only one of Miss Rabbit's reasons for staying here; in addition, she could also more quickly find her next unfortunate scapegoat to die for her in a crisis, and contact the Black Hand Mafia to get Constantine's help...
However, it was while she was wandering around like a beast searching for prey that she met Anne Fox.
Perhaps it was because Miss Rabbit was once a dependent of a Witch Seed, and the materials for Anne's prosthetic body modification also came from a Witch Seed, creating a subtle connection between them. With just an extra glance at each other in the crowd, Anne proactively stepped forward and stopped Miss Rabbit.
“Miss, have we met somewhere before?”
Miss Rabbit looked at the beautiful girl who suddenly blocked her path, sizing her up with a greedy gaze, as if looking at food, then shook her head.
“No, you might have mistaken me for someone else.”
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Although Anne was a good candidate for a scapegoat, she didn't want to act against Anne, at least not on the street...
Doing so would attract too much attention.
The shadow of death brought by the New Elder Council still lingered above her head. At such a time, attracting meaningless attention, even when hidden in this chaotic district, would quickly bring misfortune upon her.
Miss Rabbit thought this, but Anne didn't want to let her leave just like that.
“Please wait!”
She took a few steps forward, spread her arms, and again blocked Miss Rabbit's path. She pursed her lips, as if hesitating about something, waiting for a few seconds until a trace of impatience appeared on Miss Rabbit's face, then she gathered her courage and spoke.
“If I'm not mistaken, you should be a Demoness, right?”
Upon hearing this, Miss Rabbit's expression darkened.
In her continuous existence of nearly a hundred years, two urban legend had caused her extremely adverse effects, each time dramatically changing her fate...
And these two urban legend were both damned Witch Seed!
Hearing the words “Demoness,” the figures of Twilight Woman and Disaster flashed through her mind, and an unnamed rage instantly surged in her chest and abdomen, almost making her lose control and tear the girl in front of her to pieces.
However, just as her anger meter was about to overflow, Anne's next words made her slightly stunned.
“I haven't been doing well lately, and it's all related to a Demoness...” Halfway through her sentence, a bright smile appeared on her face, “If you are a Demoness, I think you might be able to help me.”
“Uh, if not, just listening to me talk would be fine.”
Miss Rabbit frowned and was silent for a moment. Perhaps recalling her own experiences, she finally spoke words that even she found somewhat unusual.
Perhaps it was because the girl, like her, had suffered due to a Witch Seed, or perhaps there was a very special aura about the girl that she wanted to be close to.
“Let's go...”
Seeing that the girl seemed to have misunderstood her words, lowering her head, her eyes dimmed with disappointment, she quickly added, “Even if I'm just listening to you talk, we can't stand on the street, can we? Let's go, let's find a place to sit down first.” freewёbnoνel.com
Upon hearing this, Anne's eyes lit up again, and she nodded vigorously.
Then, completely unprepared, she led a murderous, bloodthirsty urban legend through the streets and alleys, all the way to her tent located outside the back door of the Angel Rose Theater.
Due to her work at the Angel Rose Theater, she received a little care from Ni Miao; her tent was sturdier and slightly more spacious than those built by others.
In a space similar to an ordinary bedroom, there was a bed, a small table, a shelf, a fabric wardrobe, and various daily necessities, but she kept it very tidy, forming a strong contrast with the initial impression of the dirty and messy tent area.
It felt like a pure white wild flower growing in the crack of a sewer manhole cover.
“I'm sorry, I only have instant tea bags...” Anne handed the brewed tea to Miss Rabbit, who was already sitting by the small table, then sat across from her and smiled as she recounted her past.
She spoke of her vanity, and how she accepted prosthetic body modifications from “emissaries” because of a love that died in its infancy before it could even blossom...
She spoke of how, after completing the prosthetic body modification, she was influenced by the Witch Seed's authority and indulged in the pleasure of manipulating men with her beauty...
She spoke of the gradual appearance of prosthetic body rejection reactions, and her inability to afford the high price of inhibitory drugs...
She spoke of meeting two very kind older sisters who helped her barely survive, but after her physical pain was alleviated, her mind was tormented...
Miss Rabbit listened quietly. When Anne finally stopped, she looked down at the tea in her hand, which had cooled at some point, then raised ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) her head and looked directly into Anne's eyes, saying, “Although I sympathize with your experience, I regret that I cannot help you.”
“While I do... possess what you perceive as magic, and the origin of that magic has some connection to a Demoness, I am not a Demoness.”
“Moreover, in your situation, even a true Demoness couldn't help you... If you want true liberation, there is only...”
Despite being a killer, she hesitated briefly when facing Anne and uttering the word “death.”
And just as she hesitated, Anne laughed, “Only death, right?”
“Yes.” Miss Rabbit nodded this time without the slightest hesitation. The girl's experience had caused a slight stir in her, but that didn't mean she truly cared about the girl's life or death.
That slight stir merely transformed the girl from choice food in her eyes to food she wouldn't actively choose... nothing more.
“Then could I trouble you to help me end it?”
Hearing Anne's unexpected request, Miss Rabbit suspected there was something wrong with her ears and tilted her head.
Immediately after, before she could ask the question in her heart, Anne began to explain on her own.
“You may not know, but even if they constantly buy those expensive inhibitory agents, people who have undergone prosthetic body modifications, even if they manage to cling to life, will eventually die from the strange black night disease... I saw it when old Jackson died a few days ago; his entire body turned into a twisted mass of flesh.” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“As I just told you, I accepted prosthetic body modification to become beautiful. I don't want to die like old Jackson...”
“Actually, I've tolerated this kind of life for a long time, but I always feel a bit unable to bring myself to end it, and Vivian and Sister Ni Miao would definitely stop me, so...”
“Okay.” Miss Rabbit suddenly spoke, interrupting Anne, “If you just want to die, I can help you.”
“Really?” Anne asked excitedly, as if they weren't discussing death, but something interesting.
“That's right, but...” Miss Rabbit raised her hand and pointed at Anne, “After you die, this body belongs to me. Do you have any objections?”
“Huh?” Anne was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes and asked, “Are you a legendary Demon, then? The kind who takes others' bodies after completing a transaction.”
“Girl, why do I feel like you're missing a screw?” Miss Rabbit rolled her eyes and continued, “Since you have no objection, it's settled then. Also... you just said you work at the Angel Rose Theater?”
“Then you must come into contact with quite a few Black Hand Mafia members, right? Can you introduce me to them?”
“Of course!” Anne said.
This was Miss Rabbit's first encounter with Anne.
——
Pulling back her thoughts, her gaze passed through the group of men who resembled *** male baboons, and she saw Yu Yinchuan sitting blankly on the booth sofa. Miss Rabbit's eyes became somewhat unfocused due to the restless emotions in her heart, revealing a sense of inexplicable haziness under the dazzling lights.
“...”
Great, this guy didn't die on that broken ship!
This guy is a member of the Lan Yi Party. If I can contact Blue Yi through him, things might take a turn for the better. Maybe he has already told Blue Yi all the information he heard on the tiger whale.
I thought it was strange that a Lan Yi Party member appeared on the tiger whale before, and now this guy is mixing with Black Hand Mafia members... It seems Blue Yi might have already cooperated with the Mafia?
Hmph! I thought I'd have to hide in this ghostly place, recuperate, and make plans once I recovered a bit, but I didn't expect a new path to just deliver itself to my doorstep...
After a moment of analysis in her heart, Miss Rabbit's lips unconsciously curved into an alluring arc.
She felt that she was very close to the truth of the matter. Next, as long as she gained Yu Yinchuan's trust, she could have Yu Yinchuan take her to see Blue Yi.
