Chapter 1867 - 1866: Witch Cultist

"Ah?"

Anke was taken aback.

Before he could react, a slender arm reached in from outside the window, pulling him out of the car directly.

"A brat who’s still wet behind the ears," then came that breathtakingly beautiful face, examining his cheeks closely, then pulling back to scrutinize his body, "You’ve developed quite well."

"West Steel’s waste," the beautiful girl sat on the car roof, casually tossing Anke onto it, "They say there could be a D-level Transcendent, but where’s the D-level Transcendent? Useless people, useless everywhere."

The sound of speeding SUVs came from afar and soon several SUVs stopped around the train, with mercenaries fully armed but without specific badges getting out of the vehicles.

A tall man with scanning equipment, seemingly the captain, disembarked and saluted the girl on the car roof, "Milady!"

"Everyone should be in the cargo hold," the girl waved her hand a bit helplessly, "Check it, and if there are no problems, take them away. Also, bring my Floating Warplane over; I need to settle accounts with that West Steel waste later. He made such a fuss to call me over, and it’s just this little snack."

"Yes!" The Mercenary Captain nodded, "I’ll scan the traces around first."

"Can’t you not scan?" The girl rolled her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness, her somewhat baby-faced cheeks revealing an inexplicable allure that made Anke beside her slightly dazed, losing God.

"What’s wrong?" The girl seemed to notice Anke’s state, turning her head to look at his somewhat confused face, "Little snack, don’t worry, I’ll eat you up later."

At this moment, the Captain’s whole body seemed to be forcibly stiffened, pausing briefly, then shaking his head and speaking somewhat mechanically, "No."

"That’s why I hate purely mechanically modified people," the girl glanced at the captain below, speaking somewhat bored, "and also hate this set of desire control systems."

"This is something necessary for our cooperation to run smoothly," the captain below shook his head and spoke stiffly, seemingly still not quite recovered from the previous stimulus.

"However," the girl glanced at the captain’s body, and gently licked her red lips with her tongue, "mechanical also has its benefits."

By now, the captain had lowered his head, no longer listening to her, but dropping his gaze as the scanner on his head quickly recorded the surrounding scene.

"Little guy," the girl turned her head somewhat bored and looked at Anke, her brown pupils emitting a slight purple glow, "Can you tell me how you managed to kill that captain? He was an E-level Transcendent?"

"What E-level Transcendent?" Anke shook his head.

"Don’t you think you’re amazing?" The girl smiled, her twin ponytails swaying in the wind, like a simple little girl looking at her knowledgeable brother, her voice slightly coquettish, "Tell me, how did you kill that captain?"

"I didn’t." Anke felt his body somewhat light, subconsciously wanting to share his secret with the beautiful girl before him.

Such a pretty girl, what bad intentions could she have?

But vaguely, he felt something was off, subconsciously shaking his head, "Actually, it wasn’t me who killed that captain?"

"Then who was it?" The girl widened her eyes instantly, asking curiously and dazedly, "Where did he go?"

Anke swallowed, then shook his head, "I don’t know either—"

"Really? Brother?" The girl lengthened the tone slightly.

The whole world seemed to be filled with a certain romantic atmosphere.

"Milady, I hope you take a look at this." Just then, the captain’s stiff and cold mechanical voice interrupted the romantic atmosphere.

"You better have a reasonable reason," the girl instantly turned back, looking at the captain with a cold face, "Otherwise, even tonight you being mechanical won’t help."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, glancing at the pink bracelet she was wearing.

The bracelet was showing the content transferred by the captain through the local network.

She looked at the content, her gaze paused slightly.

Then she turned to Anke again, looking at his somewhat dazed look and softly chuckled, "Cutie, he says your footprints are identical to those from the crime committed on the merchant crew last night."

"What do you mean?" Anke was slightly stunned, "I never hijacked a merchant crew!"

"Then do you know where the pitch-black coffin from that merchant crew went?" The girl raised her eyes, gazing at Anke.

A faint purple glow covered her entire pupil, and from the depths of the world, a gentle breeze seemed to blow through Anke’s soul, making him raise his head dazedly to look at the girl in front of him.

His consciousness, his soul, his self seemed to be sinking into a kind of obscure cradle, swaying in it, gradually ’falling asleep’.

Just as he was about to completely fall asleep, a calm and elderly voice sounded in his ear,

"I generally don’t recommend sleeping outdoors."

Both his consciousness and soul awakened at that moment, and he opened his eyes to look ahead, looking at the beautiful girl.

At this moment, the peculiar ’filter’ originally covering his eyes seemed to have quietly shattered, and the girl who had been impossibly beautiful, sexy, and charming in his eyes, now also showed a bit of odd aging.

She carried a strong perfume scent, but beneath it, a certain difficult-to-conceal foul smell could be faintly perceived.

By then, the girl had already lowered her head, gazing at him, and softly asked, "Tell me, where did you take that coffin? Who exactly killed the captain, and where did they go?"

I’m being ’hypnotized’ now!

"I don’t know," Anke suddenly realized, speaking fuzzily, "As soon as we left the city, he parted ways with me; I don’t know where he went."

The girl’s gaze retracted, seemingly convinced by Anke’s words.

But in the instant she withdrew, the purple glow in her pupils flickered slightly, and her whole body paused for a moment.

She then lowered herself, approaching Anke, her strong perfume entering his nostrils.

She looked into Anke’s eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, "Dear, you’re lying."

Anke’s entire body froze abruptly in that moment.

"You’re just an ordinary person," the girl already understood something, "but you can resist my allure. The coffin is on you, isn’t it?"

Her tone carried a bit of surprise and a bit of curiosity, "You’re able to use the power of that coffin, a completely powerless ordinary person; this world is truly interesting."

"I—" Anke opened his mouth, about to say something, but that slender, pale hand had already reached out and gripped his neck.

"I hate being deceived," the girl lowered her head, gazing at Anke, smiling, "Dear, that thing must be on you, right?"

Her gaze drifted downwards, sweeping over Anke’s body to the satchel he was carrying, looking at the slightly bulging mass inside it, reaching out to grab the satchel.

At the same time, her other hand slowly applied force, incrementally squeezing Anke’s neck tighter.

The intense suffocation made Anke’s consciousness gradually blur and at that moment, he could only clench his teeth, reaching out to try to pull off the satchel.

But the girl’s movements were much quicker, as she had already pressed down on the satchel and pulled out the bulging contents from inside.

It was a stack of federal coin bills.

"Money?!" The girl was slightly taken aback, "Foolish guy."

"Big brother?!" Just then, a faint call sounded from below.

The girl’s hand slightly loosened, not directly choking Anke, as she turned her sight downwards.

Only to see a little girl’s head sticking out from the broken car window, looking around.

The little girl also heard the sound above, turned her head, and looked up, just in time to meet the gaze of the girl above.

"Interesting!"

The girl held Anke by the neck and flipped over to hang outside the cockpit.

The little girl inside the cockpit saw her and shrank back slightly, curling up.

Meanwhile, the girl supported herself on the outside of the cockpit, looking inside.

She saw the two tied-up pilots and also the two other children on the inside of the cockpit.

"Interesting." Her eyes slightly raised as she looked deeper into the cockpit, "Could your belongings be hidden here?"

"I’m not afraid of you!" At that moment, a little boy on the side pulled out a pistol from somewhere, aiming it at the girl.

"Ignorant little thing." The girl’s face turned cold, and she directly leaned forward, reaching out her hand to grab the little boy, ready to squeeze him to death.

At that instant, she paused slightly, looking at the few children before her.

Honestly, these children were quite adorable.

In any case, it shouldn’t be right to kill children.

The ones who threaten children should be the ones to die.

She gathered her thoughts, turned back, and looked at the mercenaries who had gathered around.

Raising her hand, she directly threw Anke, whom she was choking, to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough—" Anke’s body hit the ground, finally recovering his breath, coughing violently.

"What happened?" He raised his gaze, looking at the twin-tailed girl.

He only saw the twin-tailed girl jump off the vehicle, walking towards a mercenary nearby.

"What’s the matter, miss?" The mercenary raised his head, looking at the girl.

Pfft—

Before he could react, the girl extended her hand, piercing his neck with a single motion.

The mercenary’s eyes widened, not having time to speak, with all vitality cut off at that moment.

"Miss?" The Mercenary Captain, who had scanned the surrounding scene, heard the sound and looked at the girl in confusion, "What’s going on?"

But the next moment, the girl had already appeared in front of him, striking at him with her palm.

This Mercenary Captain reacted swiftly, with intense flames erupting under his feet, pulling his body directly backwards, flying into the sky to distance himself from the girl.

"What’s wrong with you?" The Captain rolled and landed on the ground, looking towards the girl.

At this time, the girl simply turned her head, looking at another mercenary nearby, and without hesitation, she struck a palm on the mercenary’s chest, shattering his ribs and heart.

The mercenary’s eyes widened, falling backward.

The mercenary next to him had not yet reacted before his head was crushed by her with a slap.

"Immediately distance yourselves!" At this moment, the Mercenary Captain finally reacted, calling out without hesitation.

The surrounding mercenaries immediately sprinted backwards, increasing the distance from the girl.

The girl stood still for a moment, glanced around, and directly charged towards the Mercenary Captain farthest from the truck.

"What are you doing?! Miss?" The Mercenary Captain watched her rushing over, pulling away further, and said angrily.

The girl just swept her eyes over him, coldly raising her hand.

"She’s gone mad! Open fire!" At this moment, the Mercenary Captain shouted without hesitation.

Bam, bam, bam—

Intense gunfire erupted instantly.

Amidst the violent gunshots, Anke quickly got up, opened the carriage door, and hid inside the driver’s seat.

He picked up the little girl in the passenger seat, tucking her into the interior of the driver’s seat, before daring to poke his head out, looking at the scene outside the window.

The girl’s movements were swift, dodging many bullets, but some still hit her body, piercing her fair skin and causing purple-red blood to splash out.

The girl, in pain, paused her actions, glancing at the people around.

A faint purple glow flickered in her eyes, causing all the surrounding mercenaries to halt their actions.

At this moment, her body wobbled slightly, appearing somewhat dazed, but soon, her eyes regained clarity as she looked up towards the Mercenary Captain.

"I won’t fall for your charm." The Mercenary Captain directly raised his hand, firing a laser at the girl.

The girl’s body moved faster, having pre-emptively turned around to dodge the laser.

At this point, the girl’s body leaned forward, further closing the distance with the Mercenary Captain.

The Mercenary Captain raised a hand, opening another palm with a fresh laser aperture.

But then he suddenly noticed the girl in front of him had vanished.

Pfft—

A muffled sound came from not far beside him.

A mercenary not far from him was pierced by the girl, with the Gauss Rifle in his hands snatched away by her.

In the next moment, the girl was on the other side, snatching another Gauss Rifle.

Then the girl raised both guns, aimed at the Captain, and fired directly.

Bam, bam, bam—

With each thunderous sound, the Mercenary Captain dodged those bullets repeatedly.

Intense dust clouds splattered across the ground.

Behind the dense dust, the Mercenary Captain stopped his movements, but before he could react, a slender hand landed on his shoulder and suddenly pulled with force.

Alongside the tearing of machinery and flickering sparks, his entire arm was ripped off.

Without hesitation, the Mercenary Captain lunged forward, seizing that moment of the girl’s action, with intense light underfoot propelling him into the sky.

This time, he fled directly in a direction away from here.

The girl lowered her head, gazing towards the nearby off-road vehicle closest to the truck.
