It was late at night.
Katie did not go home. Instead, she stayed with Hu Tao and Kuang San. Although she was very tempted by Hu Tao's invitation to be a mercenary, Katie was still a little hesitant. And because of this hesitation, Katie did not go back to the Sacred Silver Chamber immediately.
But Katie was still very sad at the moment.
Ever since she was a child, she had never succeeded in anything. It was not that Katie did not work hard, nor was it that Katie was not smart. She was just unlucky. Katie once spent a long time looking up a lot of materials and books to finally write a report that her teacher had requested. But what she did not expect was that on the second day she submitted the report, there was a sudden rainstorm. The teacher's window was not closed, so her report was soaked by the rainstorm. When the teacher arrived at school the next day, the name of Katie's report could not even be seen clearly.
When she was a child, Katie was like other noble ladies. She learned many skills, such as painting, dancing, and even music. She worked hard to complete each of them, but every time, something went wrong in the end.
Her graduation painting was torn to pieces by stray dogs. She accidentally fell and sprained her ankle when she was dancing on the stage. She accidentally broke a violin string in the middle of playing ….
For Katie, these were all common occurrences.
Sometimes, even when Katie was eating, there would be a variety of accidents due to various reasons. For example, when a stray cat suddenly jumped out of the restaurant halfway through her meal, she was so scared that she knocked over her plate, or she suddenly had an upset stomach ….
She had always been like this since she was a child. And because of this, Katie had long gotten used to her unlucky life.
She even felt that her father did not like her because she was too unlucky.
However, Katie wasn't willing to admit defeat just like that. She had only succeeded twice in her life, and the first time was during the professional qualification assessment. That was the first time she felt the joy of accomplishing something successfully since she was born. The other time was this business trip.
This was not the first time her father had asked her to run a business, but Katie had failed every time. But this time … she succeeded.
But just when Katie thought that her father would be happy because of her success, she didn't expect her father to be so angry.
Katie didn't know why her father was unhappy, but she felt wronged. After all, Katie was only a thirteen or fourteen year old girl. Naturally, in the Origin World, fifteen years old was considered an adult and could go out to work, but a person's mentality wouldn't change because of this. Not to mention, Katie's bitter experience made it impossible for her to continue being strong.
If it didn't do anything in the face of such a situation, then it would be a stone-hearted robot.
Fortunately, he still had Hu Tao and Kuang San to support him.
Although Katie and Hu Tao hadn't known each other for a long time, to be honest, the number of accidents they had encountered together was more than what most teams would encounter in their entire lives. In a Hollywood movie, when the scene ended, the man and the woman would hug each other and roll into bed.
In fact, Katie was currently sleeping on the same bed as Hu Tao.
Hu Tao didn't seem to take today's events to heart. After comforting Katie for a while, she fell asleep first. Katie was lying on the other side, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
The scene of her father driving her out of the Chamber of Commerce today was a huge blow to Katie. If she failed, it wouldn't be surprising if her father drove her away out of anger. But what Katie couldn't figure out was why her father was so angry and even wanted to drive her out of the Chamber of Commerce, even though she had succeeded with great difficulty.
Was it because she shouldn't have been born? Maybe it would be better if I didn't exist in this world?
If it weren't for Hu Tao and Kuang San by her side, Katie would have broken down long ago.
Thinking of this, Katie's eyes turned red again. She hurriedly closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about these things.
But at this moment, Catie suddenly felt a strange, chilly aura emerge.
What's that?
Katie opened her eyes abruptly and looked in the direction of the chill. Then, her eyes widened in surprise.
In the air in front of Katie, a strange figure seemed to emerge. Its eyes were dark, and it opened its mouth and let out a silent cry.
An undead?!
Looking at the undead that suddenly appeared in front of her, Katie was also surprised. She had never seen an undead before, and generally speaking, the undead would only appear in inaccessible places. So why was there an undead here?
"Woo …!"
Looking at the undead in front of her, Katie instinctively wanted to shout, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. Not only that, at the same time as the undead appeared, Katie found that her body seemed to be frozen from the inside out. She couldn't move at all.
"No … Don't …"
Katie gritted her teeth and struggled desperately, but her body didn't seem to belong to her anymore. No matter how hard Katie tried, she couldn't move. She could only watch helplessly as the undead slowly approached her, stretched out his hands, and embraced her in his arms.
The biting cold came to her face, so much so that Katie even felt that her soul began to gradually freeze. Her consciousness gradually became blurry, and the dark shadow of death began to gradually envelop the girl's body.
Am I going to die like this?
Thinking of this, Katie suddenly felt a little ridiculous. After all, this had always been her fate. Otherwise, why did an undead come to kill her when she decided to accept Sister Hu Tao's invitation to become a mercenary?
Let's just die like this. After all, living is too tiring. Anyway, I have been unlucky all my life, and I even implicated others. Maybe people like me should die earlier.
Thinking of this, Katie also gave up struggling and slowly closed her eyes.
But for some reason, at this moment, Katie suddenly thought of a person, a person she had never seen before. She opened her mouth gently and called out in a low voice.
"Mom …"
But at this moment, the dark shadow that was holding Katie suddenly hesitated. At the same time, Katie's body that was controlled by the undead also regained its freedom, and she fell heavily to the ground.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
Hearing the sound beside her, Hu Tao hurriedly opened her eyes. When she saw Katie and the undead floating not far away, she was also shocked.
"Where did the undead come from! Get out of my way! "
Accompanied by a roar, Hu Tao grabbed the shovel in her hand and slashed at the undead floating in the air.
By the way, Hu Tao usually slept with a shovel.
If it was an ordinary shovel, then there was no way to cause damage to the undead. But Hu Tao's shovel was not an ordinary shovel. Not only was it scientifically enhanced by Nimf, but it was also unscientifically enhanced by Fangzheng. Especially when it came to monsters like the undead that ordinary weapons could not cause damage to, and it was easy for mercenaries to encounter them, Fangzheng would definitely consider it.
Of course, it was impossible for Fangzheng to enchant Hu Tao's shovel with Yang Yan Blast, but it was not a problem to enchant it with Elemental Strike.
Hu Tao's shovel fell from the sky and slashed into the Undead's body. In the next moment, the seemingly simple shovel instantly erupted with colorful magical light. The Undead let out a blood-curdling scream and hurriedly retreated.
But at this moment, Kuang San had already unknowingly blocked the undead's back.
"Keke Emperor, Bullet of Seven!"
"Bang!"
The Magic Bullet containing the power of time shot out in an instant and hit the undead's body. In the next moment, the undead's movements immediately stopped, and Hu Tao seized the opportunity to chop the undead's chest with her shovel.
"— — — — —!!"
A deafening scream sounded and the undead's wails erupted in an instant, causing everyone to retreat involuntarily. In an instant, the entire room was surrounded by Yin energy and black fog.
Then, a translucent figure appeared in front of the trio.
It was a woman in her twenties. Her appearance was 70% to 80% similar to Katie, or rather, she looked no different from the grown-up Katie. The woman raised her head and with a pained expression, she stretched out her hand to Katie.
"My child … My child …"
"Huh?"
Hearing the woman's cry, everyone was stunned.
