These weren't ordinary bullets. As a member of the Black Religious Order's operation team, it was no different from a fool's dream to rely on ordinary bullets to traverse the [Inhuman] world.
The bullets were specially made, and they were extremely effective against [Magicians] and other [Inhumans]. They were also a threat to [Inhumans] with the [Physics] attribute.
There were Inhumans who could dodge the bullets, but not many of them could catch the bullets with their fingers. The woman felt that she was lucky to meet one in this manor.
She took a deep breath and slowly stood up. She was still using the blanket to cover her body, but she had already lowered her pistol. She understood that she might have fallen into the house of an [Inhuman].
Now that she thought about it, the black-haired young man she threatened was too calm.
The bullets were confiscated by Eve. "Miss, I'm glad you didn't continue to attack. Otherwise, according to the agreement, I would consider you as an intruder and eliminate you."
The woman didn't know what agreement the maid was talking about, but she guessed that it was the rules of the manor. She frowned but didn't say anything.
She fainted due to her injuries. Although she had undergone surgery, her body couldn't support strenuous exercise. As for the armor, it wasn't the time to use it. Besides, the pendant was lost, so it might have fallen into the hands of the intruder.
If … if her body wasn't in such a bad condition, she wouldn't be afraid of the mysterious Inhuman in this manor.
But … which side does this manor belong to? How should I start to contact the intruder?
The woman was in a dilemma.
"Miss, since you've woken up …" Eve suddenly said, "My master said to invite you to see him after you wake up."
Master?
The woman who caught the anti-magic bullets with her bare hands had a master. She looked at the maid's uniform in a daze. Indeed, she should have a master.
Master … The black-haired young man in front of the manor?
"Okay, I'll go see him." The woman thought for a moment and nodded … Then, in front of [Eve], the woman lifted the blanket on her body and put on her clothes without any hesitation.
Only then did she realize that her clothes had been washed clean and looked brand new … She was silent for a few seconds before she said indifferently, "Thanks for helping me clean my clothes."
Lin Sanjiu had performed a surgery on her and saved her life. Instead of thanking her, Lin Sanjiu became polite over such a trivial matter. Her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something.
So, Eve said expressionlessly, "Other than the dirt and dust on your clothes, there are also some bloodstains. Dirty Level Four. You Ye's master said not to let dirty things near him, especially dirty women."
The woman opened her mouth … Dirty. Ever since she joined the Cultivation, she was called dirty. This was the first time.
"Level Four … What's the next level?" The woman asked while suppressing her anger.
Eve said indifferently, "Flirtatious women, indecent women, adulterous women, and dragons."
The woman could roughly figure out what the so-called master You Ye's master was thinking based on this information. But what the hell was the dragon?
Shaking her head, the woman sighed and said seriously, "I'm done. Take me to your master."
"This way, please." Eve made an impeccable gesture of invitation.
She didn't seem like a human … The woman suddenly had such a feeling. She was like one of those emotionless men of sacrifice trained by the Cultivation.
"What's your name?" The woman asked immediately.
"Eve."
Eve … The first woman created by God?
The woman couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
…
She didn't think for a long time. It only took her a few minutes to arrive at her destination — the kitchen.
It was a semi-open kitchen. It was a large kitchen with a rectangular stone table in the middle.
Boss Luo was standing in front of the stove. Wearing an apron, he looked like a housekeeper.
Before the woman came in, she had already smelled a very fragrant smell. Her body reacted instinctively and saliva was secreted at a slightly faster rate than usual.
She told herself that it was probably because her body was injured and needed a large amount of nutrition quickly. That was why she sent out such a signal.
"Master, I've brought her." Eve didn't care about this. She just carried out every order meticulously. "She's recovering well. Based on the physiological structure of a normal human, she can be classified as Excellent. So, she has the initial ability to move. But, she's not a threat …"
[Eve] continued to report in great detail. As she listened, the woman's face, which was originally pale because of the wound on her hand, became even more unsightly. In fact, her face even darkened.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eve." Boss Luo turned off the stove and said with a smile, "Leave this to me. You go upstairs and continue your work."
"Okay." [Eve] nodded and turned to leave.
She was really obedient. The woman had personally experienced being tamed by Eve. So, this young man in front of her …
"I made some soup." Boss Luo carried a plate to the table and started to set the cutlery. He was quite familiar with it. "I've been eating alone for the past few days. So, it's a little simpler. But your injury hasn't healed yet. You shouldn't eat too greasy food … Eat it while it's hot. "
Don't eat food from strangers … Probably people with a little bit of training would follow this rule seriously, let alone a mysterious organization like Black Cultivation.
"You … are a magician?" The woman suddenly asked.
Boss Luo blinked his eyes, as if he was asking why she said that.
The woman frowned and said, "Along the way, there are many magic props. I also smelled a few special herbs. Those are herbs that only secret pharmacists use … And, the stove you use to cook is also one of them."
She then pointed at the crystal lamp on the kitchen roof and said calmly, "This lamp is also one of them."
"Miss Lamias, right?" Boss Luo smiled. "You're quite observant and have a keen sense of smell … Well, you can treat me as a magician."
Anyway, it wasn't the first time he was treated as a magician. Boss Luo didn't intend to explain anything … Magic was very simple to use.
"You know me?" The woman … Lamias suddenly became vigilant.
Boss Luo said casually, "When you were unconscious, you dropped a teacher's certificate … Your name is written on it."
Lamias suddenly said, "I'm afraid that I lost more than just a certificate."
"There's also a necklace." Boss Luo knew what she was talking about … Lamias's necklace was taken off by Eve during the operation. It was indeed in his hands now.
"Sit down first." Boss Luo pointed at the chair next to Lamias. The chair automatically pulled out.
Lamias didn't say anything and sat down slowly. She felt like she was sitting on a carpet of needles … She felt more and more strange in this manor.
After that, Boss Luo walked to the cupboard and seemed to take something out … Lamias's eyes twitched. She clearly saw her necklace … pendant!
The thing was just casually placed next to the stove — she didn't even notice it!
No, no one would casually touch such an important thing like a small object — this was a cognitive blind spot!
"I thought it was interesting, so I studied it a little." Boss Luo put the pendant in front of Lamias and said calmly, "Don't worry. You brought it here, so I'll naturally return it to you."
When Lamias held the pendant in her hand again and confirmed that it wasn't a fake, she had a more unreal feeling — Didn't this person notice this pendant?
"You … know what this is?"
"A Holy Relic." Boss Luo sat down and drank a mouthful of water. Then, he slowly drank the soup. "A contaminated Holy Relic … Well, if I'm not wrong, it was probably contaminated with the blood of the Impaler Duke."
It wasn't as simple as sitting on a carpet of needles. A chill ran down her spine — If she wasn't an important person in Cultivation, and if she didn't know every high-ranking person in Cultivation, she might have thought that he was a member of Cultivation. Otherwise, how did he know about the Holy Relic of Reversal?!
"Of course, just the blood of the Impaler Duke isn't enough." Boss Luo said, "It also needs to be soaked in the blood of a devout believer in despair for a period of time … There are quite a lot of steps."
"Who … are you?" Lamias took a deep breath. She didn't even feel the heavy pressure when she was facing Father Stella. Now, she felt like she was suffocating.
He was just sitting in front of the dining table in an environment that seemed like a casual conversation … but he was talking about such a dangerous topic.
"That's not important." Boss Luo said casually, "At least that's what it looks like now … Miss Lamias, I don't mean you any harm. I don't plan to get anything from you by saving you now. As for the future … who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
"But you still chose to save me, didn't you?"
There was no free lunch in this world.
"Just take it as …" Boss Luo smiled faintly and said, "Just take it as ending the fate between us."
At that time, Boss Luo had just taken office not long ago, and he was still in the stage of ignorance about everything. Romalia and the others were all guided by Miss Maid. At that time, he met Miss Nun and took her weapon out of curiosity.
Now, he let Eve perform the operation and save Lamias's life using normal means. It could be considered as ending the connection between them — but Lamias obviously didn't know about it.
Boss Luo didn't intend to explain.
"Fate?" Lamias suddenly felt that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "That's really an ill-fated fate. I actually came to this place by accident."
After escaping from Father Stella's church, she almost didn't think carefully about the way to go. She couldn't go in the town, so she could only go in the direction of the suburbs. Although she didn't come here in a panic, it was indeed unintentional.
"I think you should be able to move now." Boss Luo suddenly said, "After dinner, you can choose to stay here and rest for the night. Maybe you can leave overnight."
"You're letting me go?" Lamias looked at him in disbelief.
Boss Luo said, "Shouldn't I let you go, Miss Lamias?"
Lamias opened her mouth.
The young master of this manor probably knew about her origin and knew about the Holy Relic of Reversal. But he just returned such an important Holy Relic of Reversal to her and let her leave at any time.
Something's not right … Something's not right. There must be something wrong. Is this guy a good person?
Lamias's mind raced, but she still couldn't figure out the motive for his actions. Or rather, he let her go like this. Actually, he had some other purpose, such as fishing with a long line?
Perhaps she would be ambushed by that maid the moment she stepped out of the door after leaving the manor. This kind of thing had happened many times throughout history.
"I'll stay for the night." Lamias stared at his expression. "I'll leave early tomorrow morning."
"Indeed." Boss Luo nodded. "Rest for one more night and your strength will recover better … Then, Miss Lamias, your range of activity is your room, the first floor of the manor, and the courtyard outside. I hope you can abide by this."
"Is the area above the second floor not open to me?" Lamias nodded. "Yes."
"Then, please do as you please, Miss Lamias." Boss Luo stood up. It turned out that he had unknowingly finished eating. "Just leave the cutlery here. Eve will wash it. Also, if you need anything, you can look for Eve. She will arrange it for you. "
Just like that, he left.
After Boss Luo left, the whole kitchen was extremely quiet … Lamias's body was a little stiff. This kind of silence was even a little strange.
Along the way, besides Eve, she had only seen this young manor owner. Could it be that only the two of them lived in this big manor?
After a simple meal, Lamias slowly walked alone in the hall on the first floor.
There was nothing blocking the stairs leading to the upper floor … She didn't feel any eyes on her, nor was there any surveillance equipment around.
Lamias was startled. That guy was so confident that she would keep her promise?
Shaking her head, Lamias thought for a while. In the end, she didn't walk up the stairs. Because she found something else that was more important to her at this moment.
An antique phone.
"Wait … Did I bring my teacher's certificate out?"
The moment Lamias picked up the antique phone, she suddenly remembered something. She was going to attack Father Stella. How could she bring something that could expose her identity?
Was it a joke?
