Chapter 238: Face the Elders of Jiangdong

10 month 26 day.

Night.

The moon was covered by clouds. In the dimly lit little room, I could only see the flickering cigarette in the man's hand.

Why are you surprised by time?
'So this is also called year, month, and day?'

'...'

I thought it might be a joke.

They didn't treat me as a human being at all.

Ok.

I don't need it either.

There is nothing that can be done, right?
He was exhausted just from facing the two men before him, and he wanted to defeat the two men in front of him and easily deal with them... He didn't even have the qualifications to escape.

I don't expect him to be kind.

As long as the story is interesting, what kind of story is interesting?
"Go on, I'll remember."

He said that if the product had a touching story, he might raise my price.

What happened to me was… not funny.

Before I could remember anything, my parents took me back from the forest. They had no children and treated me like their own daughter.

The village is just an ordinary village.

Occasionally there are young people who want to go out and explore the world, occasionally there are those who come back empty-handed, and occasionally we hear that they committed some crime and died outside... It seems that a long time ago some people made money outside.

But for me, the village is my home. I don't want to go out.

I thought my life would be just as my parents had described it to me, that I would get married and have children with someone before I turned 20. Although I had no interest in any man, and I didn't have a particularly good relationship with anyone.

I still have a little idea... I can become stronger if I want to. If there is a man who is stronger and more capable than me, I would agree to marry him.

These are all very common things, right?

It's not an excessive expectation.

My friend said he wanted to make some bamboo baskets so that he could collect herbs and sell them in the city. After the heavy rain... no one would have thought that such a thick tree would suddenly fall down.

And what can I do?

Turning a blind eye to the image of your friend dying?
The noise alerted the adults around me, and my hidden ears were exposed because I used my ability. But only my friends saw it.

My friend also promised me that he would never tell anyone else.

'Noelia, you must go.'

'This village has no room for you anymore.'

'...'

I don't know why my parents suddenly packed their bags and rushed me away.

I even argued that it would be okay even if people found out, and that the villagers were very nice and would understand me.

not understand.

Just because they found out that I was different from them, my parents died just to protect me and let me escape.

A friend told me the secret.

The boy who had a crush on me and was always courting me also looked at me with a look of doubt. They were together.

I understand it all.

As long as I disappear, my friends will get what they want.

But I never thought about responding to someone's affection. I was going to give it to her. I don't care about that kind of thing... Why? To kill my parents. To let me fall into this situation.

Hired a bounty hunter to hunt me down.

Totally... she treated me like a monster. Weren't we that close? Weren't we lying on the grass together counting the stars? She told me she wanted to go to the city. She also asked me if I would respond to a boy's affection, and I answered... no. I don't like it.

"That's it."

“A lame best friend’s revenge story.”

"..."

I had no idea what the man in front of me meant. He was still gesturing at the cigarette box with the stick.

"A little processing can actually arouse people's desire to protect it."

"For example, you actually like that guy, but you gave him up for your best friend. But your best friend still worries and wants to kill you."

"hiss……"

"Maybe you really think so?"

"..."

It doesn't matter how disgusting or frivolous his comments are.

I just want the conclusion.

"What would you do if I said it wasn't interesting and I didn't want to help?"

"..."

"Oh my god, don't bite your tongue! I'll be at a big loss if you die."

"..."

I don't care about my life. As long as I can get back to the village and kill the damned people... anything is fine.

"Okay, it's not that fun. But I can give you a chance to go back and clean up your ass."

"In exchange, you should know what to do."

"Come, massage my feet first. My hair smells a bit, tie it up with this."

"..."

"Huh? You can do it without being taught? Have you ever served other men? That won't do. It will reduce your reputation."

"…Here, mom has done it. Mom taught me."

After he calmed down, I massaged his feet like this.

I suddenly remembered my mother's teachings.

"Noelia, you can't always act like a man."

'You should also learn some housework.'

'Men are the masters.'

'...'

At that time, I hated my mother saying that. But now... I can't hear it even if I want to.

"What you just said didn't include anything about ears."

"……intrinsic."

"Besides seeking revenge on the people in the village, is there anything else?"

"..."

What does that mean? You think I'm going to do something tricky?

"It's okay, go to sleep. We'll talk after you wake up."

"..."

10 month 27 day.

early morning.

The time can be known through the loading prompt after her death.

"call."

Outside, Su Ming crumpled up the cigarette box that pretended to record her background story and threw it away.

Light another cigarette.

it should be no problem?

Whether in conversation or facial expression, he acts like he is not a good person.

result……

Another self-employed person like Xiaoye. I don't mean to sympathize with him, I just think that people are the same no matter what era they are in. Maybe only animals will not despise each other because of such differences. They are the same kind, no matter what disabilities or differences there are.

But then again. Xiaoye can still be considered a human being, but is she really considered a human being with her pointed ears? The elves in the stories are often gods.

The baby cafeteria is really excessive.

Just asking her to massage my feet, and bending over to touch them? I dare not imagine how exaggerated it would be to be completely unrestrained by clothes.

"It's not the big thunder control, it's not the big thunder space... The eighteen-number screwdriver affects the excavator torque, and the wild geometry is not affected by the effect of the group."

"..."

"call……"

The distracting thoughts are cleared.

Su Ming put out his cigarette and re-entered the cabin.

She huddled obediently in the corner, and as she had said just now, she had no intention of resisting.

"As I said earlier, I can help you clean up your mess."

"But if I have to compromise to this extent and still cause trouble for myself, then you are on your own."

"Generally speaking, I don't like to tie up precious goods. If the appearance is scratched, the buyer will be very unhappy when he uses the signs of use to bargain with me."

"..."

She didn't respond, but just lay down silently.

Su Ming didn't talk either, he just lay there, but he didn't sleep.

If I really fall asleep, or get hurt... the old players will be embarrassed. Damn, this is the bad thing about not playing favorability. I don't feel safe to be in the same room with them. If it were An Shiyao and the others, they would worry about whether they would feel sore and weak after getting up.

10 month 27 day.

Its daybreak.

Without a watch, Su Ming would have no way of knowing the exact time.

"Are you ready to go?"

Noelia had already gotten up and was sitting by the wall.

"You're so anxious? It's just that my parents are dead. What's the point of revenge? You won't survive."

"..."

Her face froze visibly, but she bit her lip and said nothing.

"Let's go. I want to see how you plan to take revenge."

"..."

After getting Su Ming's permission, she went out without looking back.

"Slow down. If you get too far out of my sight, I might regret it right away."

"..."

She slowed down her pace.

Ok.

Now it makes sense that the favorability is -100.

10 month 27 day.

Roy Village.

There were two people guarding the village entrance early in the morning. "Are you not back yet?"

The old man was wearing a patched robe.

"Father... could there be something wrong with them?"

The young man looked worried, as if he was concerned about something.

"Do you think Noelia is a monster that even a silver explorer can't deal with?"

"Can……"

"But what? You really have a problem with your brain. You can be interested in anyone, but her? Fortunately, Pala doesn't mind you being interested in monsters. Listen carefully, no matter who asks you from now on, you should say that Noelia used magic."

"..."

The young man shut up again, his teeth chattering.

"I really didn't know she was a monster. If I knew... Father, I heard that a thief broke into my uncle's house last night?"

"Is now the time to be concerned about that?"

"..."

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the village.

Everyone was waiting for good news from the bounty hunter. Someone questioned the old man, saying that he had taken in Noelia's family many years ago and had given a lot of help because his son liked Noelia. But the old man said, "No one wants to be deceived by demons." Besides, the bodies of Noelia's parents were buried in a pile of stones at the entrance of the village.

"Hey, is that a person?"

"…Noelia? Herself?"

"No, isn't there another person behind him? He's wearing... a bounty hunter, right?"

They couldn't help cheering.

"That's what I told you. The hunters from the city will definitely be able to catch her."

"Damn it, because of her... the whole year's harvest is gone."

"..."

If it was Noelia's night attack, they would have been in chaos, and they would have had no way to vent their anger, and several of them would have been afraid of Noelia. But now it was daytime, and dozens of people in the village were there.

"Hey, sir...are you here alone? Your companions..."

"Anyway, this is a reward for your significant other."

The old man looked a little embarrassed. Yesterday, he specifically told the bounty hunters to take the captured person away or kill him, as long as they brought back something that belonged to Noelia. Why did they bring it back?

"You brought her to the village..."

However, he didn't have the guts to get into a conflict with the bounty hunter. He could only smile and try to figure out Su Ming's thoughts.

"..."

Su Ming took the bag and touched it. It was very light.

There are banknotes of various colors in it, but I don’t know what their denominations are...

"She said she wanted to come for revenge, so I let her come."

"?"

The old man paused and looked at the villagers who were throwing stones or debris at Noelia out of anger.

"You are so thoughtful. Because... the people in the village have been holding grudges for a long time."

He then thought about it.

Yes, if the villagers could turn their attention to the monster, they would pay less attention to their son.

What a loser. There are so many women, why did he have to choose Noelle?
10 month 27 day.

morning.

"pat..."

"Go to hell..."

"Paji..."

"It's all because of you, a monster, that our village is now notorious!"

"..."

Stone.

Noelleah didn't dodge rotten leaves or even a flying hoe.

Something hard hit her forehead, blood dripped... and flowed to the corners of her mouth. The fishy smell was gradually pouring out the dark and thick feeling in her heart, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger.

"..."

I clearly saw the man Pala liked in the crowd just now.

But I don’t see it now.

There were only two piles of stones at the entrance of the village as tall as a person, and Dad and Mom were buried in them.

"Look at her ears! So disgusting..."

"My son was originally planning to go to the city to learn a craft, but now... he needs to raise money to find a bounty hunter, because of you, a monster..."

"..."

Someone threw the hatchet at me.

Noelia didn't resist this time and caught it.

"?"

"What does she want to do?"

"Oh... all because of me?"

"..."

"Because of me, what does that have to do with my dad, my mom...?!"

"Pfft!"

"Kill, kill someone?"

"Ahhh!"

The villagers didn't react until the people around them were beheaded and their blood flowed like a fountain washing their faces.

"Puuuuuuu—"

Noelia was no different from a mad dog, she would kill anyone she saw. She was no longer in the mood to distinguish between innocent and guilty.

Or maybe, everyone is the same in her eyes. They are all executioners.

"Sir, didn't you say you brought her here specifically to vent the villagers' anger?! Now..."

"I said it was revenge, literally. Don't make up your mind. Also, I'm not a bounty hunter. Nice to meet you, my name is Su Ming, I'm 25 years old and married."

"..."

When the old man saw the horrific scene of blood and flesh flying, he ran away without even asking Su Ming any questions.

"Hey, look carefully, I'm not from the village."

Is Noelia completely mad with anger?

Even Su Ming, who was standing aside, was regarded as an enemy.

She was not that strong. Su Ming knew that she had not slept since yesterday. Although among the villagers, there were only some cooks who often went up the mountain to chop firewood. But dozens of them were enough for her, who was already weak. She had to take a few stones before she started to attack.

Everyone was scared at first.

But as someone's family member died, they would be angry... If there was one counterattack, there would be two. After all, Noelia was not as powerful as Su Ming.

"You killed my wife? How dare you... you beast!"

"..."

So, when she was hit by an axe and started to lose blood, she would have more and more injuries. Su Ming was not surprised at all that the dress was stained red.

"That's enough. This is my product. It's fine if it's dirty, but you also want the appearance to be damaged?"

Su Ming would help out from time to time. He wouldn't really let her get hacked to death just for the sake of negative favorability. Besides, if she died, wouldn't he have to experience the feeling of being hacked to death and die together?

Oh shit.

In a way, it's like binding the health bar? Even if your own health is thicker, you will still be traded one for one.

"Why on earth? You took our money, but you stood with the monsters..."

"Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Alliance?"

The old man was also caught by Su Ming. He was trembling with fear, looking at the broken limbs and arms, and his pants were soaked. But he couldn't smell anything, and the only smell in the air was the strong smell of blood.

Moreover, standing next to him was Noelia, who was covered in blood from head to toe.

"I beg you……"

"Noelia, uncle had no choice! Everyone in the village wants uncle to execute your parents... uncle is..."

"..."

"Pfft."

It seems that Noelia is not the type of person who likes to listen to nonsense.

"There are two more. After I find and kill them, I'll treat them as qualified merchandise."

"..."

Since when did it start?
Seeing this cruel scene, I didn't feel any emotion. I walked on the road paved with corpses in a normal way.

"besides."

"Just now... thank you."

"?"

No.

So did you see me secretly helping to kick a few times?

"No, I told you, if a valuable item is damaged, it will be discounted."

Is the initial mission not over yet?
"If you're looking for a man and a woman who ran away, you shouldn't go into the village. Two people just ran outside."

"..."

Noelia paused, then turned around again.

"Clap clap clap."

Run without hesitation.

Is it raining again?
The rain flowed down her trouser legs, turning them completely red.

Those eyes were filled with gray.

"Hurry up and finish it, or I'll lose my appetite for breakfast."

"Tsk...be careful, you've soiled my clothes too."

When he ran over just now, blood splashed onto part of Su Ming's body.

Revenge, is that right?
If it were me, and someone around me was executed, it would be more than ten times what she did. It's no big deal. There seem to be a few sheep in the animal pen, can I roast a whole sheep for dinner later?

But eating in such a bloody place would somewhat affect my appetite. I have to carry a sheep to the woods... and dissect it first.

Just as Su Ming was thinking about what to eat, he had just taken a few steps when everything around him suddenly stopped.

【mission completed】

[Returning to reality...scores will be settled later]

Ok.

Still the same, one day later, the prompt is completed. God is my witness, nothing terrible happened this time. My heart still shines brightly, and I have the face to face my elders in Jiangdong.
