Chapter Twenty-Five: The Witch's Pupil

"Yay~ It's really... By the way~" The yellow ape slowly swallowed his mouth, and squinted the corners of his eyes as he spoke, looking like a smile, "Don't say it ghost spider, the guy who attacked Ize is also on the way." ”

The ghost spider snorted, but he didn't answer for a while, of course it couldn't be, what about their yellow ape general teasing him? It's just that there are some things in it, and he can't say it in front of the person next to him.

…………

The garrison guards in charge of the town's defense broke into the naval academy and took Anna away, and the ghost spider received the news that there were no secrets under the sun, not to mention... He has been paying attention to her movements, not to monitor, but to keep a special snack, for a reason~

Uh~ It's really her... The frequency of encountering emergencies is a little higher.

The ghost spider originally didn't believe in the helpless reasons like fate such as 'coincidences caused by the superposition of unexpected factors', but unfortunately, after being slapped in the face by Anna's side one after another recently, he had to believe it for her.

Of course, the ghost spider doesn't think that his aura is incompatible with her, and it won't be because of him that she has frequent accidents, otherwise, during the time he was hospitalized, he and her spent so long, how could the two of them be fine?

The ghost spider doesn't believe in the ethereal statement, he follows his professional habits, with the mentality of fighting on the battlefield, looking at the accidents around Anna, if there is not something unknown, it has nothing to do with her at the beginning, how can she be involved in the end?

Anna has lived peacefully and smoothly in Marlingford for more than ten years, and there have been ups and downs in recent days, and there must be something secretly targeting her.

Upon receiving the news that she was involved in a strange incident, he immediately answered the phone of Stoloberg, and after a little inquiry, he learned the cause and effect, and then the ghost spider himself led the people to the town, in order to find the remaining two of the three girls from last night.

Since, it is said that the deceased at the scene of the crime is Dolores from the Navy Hospital, the remaining two who were together last night must know something.

Maybe you don't know anything, but... If the incident happened to be directed against Anna, rather than the vendetta of Dolores and others, then the remaining two girls would probably not be peaceful.

…………

The ghost spider's actions are groundless, and they only rely on the intuitive reaction cultivated by fighting and killing for half a lifetime.

The results confirmed his first feeling.

…………

Find the guy who attacked Izawa, take him to the Stoloberry garrison, and leave in exchange for Anna, who has cleared the suspicion.

As for why people were brought to the Ministry of Science 'by the way'... The ghost spider glanced at the yellow ape sitting on the other side of the sofa, he heard it, and the general yellow ape's tone was unhappy.

Originally, the ghost spider still didn't believe what his adjutant said, and the general Yellow Ape may have bad intentions towards Anna, but at this time, it seems that he wants to believe it.

After thinking about it, the corners of the ghost spider's mouth lifted, and he said in a dumb voice, "If you don't bring the Ministry of Science, will you bring it back to my station?" ”

"I'd love to."

Staring at the person next to him distractedly while speaking, seeing that her smile was gentle but her eyes were only on her daughter, and she didn't even pay any attention to others, the ghost spider squinted her eyes, snorted, and then extinguished her mind to compete with the yellow ape.

Now is not the time to worry about that.

Bring Anna to the Ministry of Science, because now she can't go back to the Navy Academy and have a murder case, and even if she is no longer suspected, she needs to be given some kind of guardianship before the end of the day.

Monitoring & Protection.

There are too many accidents happening around Anna, and the piles and piles seem delicate together, she is indeed innocent, and the attention of the Navy must be on her before solving the problem completely.

Now, on the surface, her file is in the Department of Naval Science, and if he doesn't bring people over, where will she put it? Take him to the station? That depends on whether the yellow ape is willing to hand over her information.

The ghost spider is happy to get this person into his own organization, and some things will be justified in the future.

It's a pity that the Yellow Ape General will definitely refuse.

…………

The ghost spider checked in detail, and after the virus mutation occurred, he asked someone to carefully investigate Anna's past, not wanting to receive the reward that her files in the naval hospital were taken first.

He examined her closely, but found no result but found other strange clues:

Anna has a hidden protector by her side, and those people are under the command of Admiral Yellow Ape.

It was the order of the Admiral Yellow Ape to block all the information related to Anna, including the imp in the Ministry of Science, and all the clues that her dead husband had left in the Navy in the old years.

The people who went to the Navy Hospital returned empty-handed, and a few days later, there was a new rumor in the headquarters, saying that the yellow ape had been around him with him recently, and he took the new beautiful girl from the science department with him wherever he went at work, and there was a lady living in the dormitory after work.

The Yellow Ape General in Gentle Township is simply envious and jealous.

The generals who didn't know the inside story were quite ridiculous when they talked about it in private, and the ghost spider laughed when he heard it, the yellow ape is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private, and if he can officially give an order, it means that Anna's matter has been classified as a military secret.

As a vice admiral in the headquarters, Ghost Spider is very clear about the internal systems of the navy, and when it comes to the inside/scenes that cannot be put on the table, he will naturally not be stupid enough to get to the bottom of it.

As for outside of business, who doesn't know whose temperament they have worked together for many years? No matter how chaotic the private life of the general Yellow Ape is, he will not be shameless enough to accept a mother and daughter at the same time.

What about the little ghost in the Ministry of Science, the ghost spider doesn't know the inside story, Anna, but he knows.

She dotes on the child so much, she even dares to argue with him in person for that little ghost, if the yellow ape makes a move on the little ghost and provokes her as a mother... Maybe one day their admiral will be able to ask the angry mother to kill him with food, just in time for the fulfillment of a lifetime of romance.

…………

Because he knew that she was gentle and quiet and involved in her daughter's temperament, he understood that the rumors in the headquarters were not at all, so... For now, there was no need for him to be angry.

Slowing down the unhappiness in his heart, the ghost spider raised his eyebrows, then walked to the side of the sofa, found a vacant seat to sit down, and did not speak, only glanced at the green pheasant and yellow ape on the side from the corner of his eye, and then quickly staggered his gaze.

The yellow ape has other thoughts, but she is not necessarily tempted/bewitched.

If you want to fight, you have to wait for her to be safe, and whoever is interested will have their own ability.

…………

After a while, the yellow ape took out the attitude that the Ministry of Science should have, and said in a manly voice, "yes~ Go make tea~ Don't let people think that I am not considerate." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two young men immediately complied.

The little girl walked away a few steps and turned back as if she remembered something, "Mommy? While shouting, he peeked at the three of them on the sofa out of the corner of his eye, and there was a faint defensiveness in his eyes, like thieves.

Seeing her daughter like this, the ghost spider snorted, and then he was faintly glared at by the little girl, and his eyes were obviously very disgusted.

As a result, without waiting for the ghost spider to react, he then caught a glimpse of the person who was standing on the side and did not move a little step, and his figure just blocked her daughter, and turned his face to meet him, with a look that was half gentle and half helpless.

She looked at him quietly for a few seconds, and her smile revealed a little apology, "Lieutenant General? ”

The ghost spider snorted, and the anger that had not yet risen made her watery gaze extinguish, she had always had a strange sense of stability, which was already like this in the hospital, and for no reason it could make his irritable anger disappear.

It's a strange trait, but he... She watched intently, and he relented.

He opened his mouth, and was about to ask her not to worry too much, but before he could say anything, he heard the voice of the yellow ape cut in/in obliquely, "yes~ Where can I usually entertain distinguished guests with tea, go to my office to get this year's Yulu Dragon Branch." ”

The previous sentence of the yellow ape was explained to the two young people, and after a pause of a few seconds, he said, "I tasted Anna's tea art last night, and I really can't get enough, am I honored today?" ”

Hearing this, she was slightly stunned, then nodded, and the smile on the corner of her mouth relaxed a little, "If you don't dislike it." ”

"Yay~ How can you dislike it?" The general Yellow Ape spoke again, this time with pleasure in his voice, and there was a deep meaning in the shallow, "It should be something that I can't ask for." ”

…………

After a while, when she and the two young children left together, the scene was temporarily emptied, and the ghost spider withdrew his gaze from staring at the door, turned his eyes to the yellow ape on his side, and his eyebrows twitched, "The yellow ape general is really personable~"

"No wonder the top women in Yumecho praise you."

His words were flattering, but his eyes were not, but once again, the ghost spider underestimated the thickness of someone's skin.

The yellow ape replied with a smile, "yes yes ~ because Anna is worth cherishing ~"

"Oh~ I thought Dauberman was joking, but it wasn't." The ghost spider's eyes jumped, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more sarcastic, "Your love for your subordinates has evolved to cherish, and those in your science department will be grateful to cry, right?" ”

'Cherish' a P! It's obviously ill-intentioned, the yellow ape's soul is weak! Decisive is ambitious, but also outspoken ... I was choked by this guy who has worked with him for many years, and the ghost spider expressed all kinds of heart congestion.

…………

In the end, the hidden wit between the ghost spider and the yellow ape was dispersed by the pheasant who had been watching the excitement, "Ahhhhh ”

As soon as the pheasant spoke, the ghost spider and the yellow ape looked at the same time, and the strange look on their faces faded a little.

"yes~ probably, right?" The yellow ape shrugged, smiling on the surface, seemingly frivolous and careless.

The ghost spider lowered his eyes, and like the pheasant, the answer to the right to be the yellow ape was the reason, although the three of them knew it well, it was not at all.

After a short silence, the ghost spider raised his eyelids, sorted out his thoughts, and then lowered his voice, and slowly said what the yellow ape and the pheasant had been waiting to hear without asking.

Anna and the two young men are also because what they are going to say next is a bit bloody, the ghost spider and the three admirals have worked together for many years, even if they don't know it, the yellow ape can guess the clue from his eyes, so he wants to taste her tea art.

That's an excuse.

Nana and Sentomaru from the Science Department may not feel it, but Anna is... She was timid and afraid of life, and she had been violated by Yan zhòng, and even if she didn't remember it, they didn't want to irritate her anymore.

Therefore, the pheasant was silent and let her go, so that the ghost spider could tell the scene without scruples.

…………

The remaining two people also died.

In the house that Doloris shares with her two friends, the ghost spider leads the people around the house, and then breaks in... At first glance, it was black and red, the walls and floors were covered with blood and flesh, the windows and doors were closed, and the smell of the room was disgusting.

The two women didn't even have a slightly decent chunk left, and the flesh and blood foam were fragmented, and Rao is ghost spider and a few of his battle-hardened henchmen felt disgusted when they saw that scene.

There were humanoid creatures on the scene, and the reason for this was that the ghost spider felt that no one would think it was a human like them in that situation.

There was a human woman who looked like she was half-crouched in the wreckage, and when she heard the movement, she raised her head, and a few strands of fat blood and flesh leaked from the corners of her mouth.

In the next second, the ghost spider drew its knife out of its sheath and met the black-haired man-eating foreign object that was rushing towards them.

The alien creature is similar to the infected person in the mutated night attack in the headquarters that night, with similar speed, strength, and attack patterns, and the severed limbs can also be regenerated at a super speed.

Super-fast regeneration is extremely difficult to deal with, and it takes time to heal completely.

After several fights, the ghost spider quickly mastered the rhythm of the battle, and did not give it a chance to pick up the severed limbs at all, and in the end, except for the head and the main torso, the rest of the thing was cut into several pieces, and the besiegers tried to crucify them to death.

Then, the ghost spider ordered people to find a container, seal the remains in each one, and then capture it alive.

…………

"Those boxes, I've had people secretly send them to the Ministry of Science."

Thinking of those boxes of severed limbs, the ghost spider's face sank, his methods were a little bloodier, and when he took the main torso that had been cut off and the rest of his head was brought over there to exchange for Anna, he even asked Stoloberg, who was of the same rank, to look at it with perverted eyes for a long time.

Uh~ But forget it... The Yellow Ape's science department received that thing, and it was estimated that it would be more cruel than him.

The ghost spider thought so in his heart, and not long after he finished speaking, he saw the supreme commander of the Ministry of Science raise his eyebrows, and an unusually cold decision slipped through his eyes without moving.

Capture the complete xenomorph alive, and after that, the Department of Naval Science will inevitably study it in order to find out the source of infection, and even...

The infected people who regenerated at a rapid rate that day were originally the Navy, but once the Ministry of Science successfully researched it...

…………

"Yay~" The yellow ape spoke softly, and as soon as he made a habitual single tone, he fell silent, his eyes raised a few points, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and then he pretended to laugh unintentionally, "Let go of the chores for the time being, let's look forward to Anna's tea art first~"

The ghost spider turned his face away, and his keen hearing picked up the light footsteps from far and near, and then he exhaled silently, suppressing the murderous aura that was slightly boiling with the narration without a trace.

She was different from those of them who had blood on their hands, terrible and cruel things, and she still didn't want to know.

…………

A short time later, the office door opened again, and the three people who had gone back and forth bowed slightly, and then the man and her daughter turned into the pantry on the side, apparently to make tea with the contents of it.

The rest of the Sentomaru stayed outside the pantry, his eyes falling on the two of them inside, and there was a shyness between his eyebrows.

When the people came back, they couldn't continue to talk to the ghosts and spiders, and they became silent for a while.

The room seemed quiet, and after a while, the sound of boiling water came from the sound of the moor, and the man and the little girl whispered something, muttering like a young child, and her light smile was gentle and quiet.

The ghost spider glanced at the pantry a few times before lowering his eyes, and a few traces appeared in his heart... Warmth.

She... Even though there were frequent accidents around her, it was really strange to say, and he couldn't let go.

It's not that she didn't think about it, she didn't want him to let it go, what woman did he want in his current position, a happy woman, a girl from a good family, for his power, for his people, as long as he wanted to, someone would naturally throw him into his arms.

But I just can't let go... It's not that she's unwilling, the ghost spider thinks it's probably because of the always having accidents around her that he keeps remembering.

The mind is on her, and it becomes a habit when she reads and reads.

…………

He was distracted, and a moment later, the man's footsteps were heard.

Hearing the movement, the ghost spider retracted his thoughts, raised his eyes as usual, and saw her after a brief look, holding a lacquer plate in her hand, and whispering distractedly as she walked.

The little ghost followed suit, his eyes were stained with glue, and he stuck to her, followed by Zhan Taomaru, and the three of them were strung back and forth like zongzi, and the ghost spider was angry and funny.

Her daughter... When facing his mother, he was like an unweaned baby, and he didn't have the sharpness that a genius newcomer in the science department should have, and in the actual combat exercise at the beginning of the year, he was calm and calm.

In the blink of an eye, the man came to the edge of the sofa, gently put down the tea tray, and then picked up the porcelain pot and filled the tea cups one by one.

"Please—" She smiled with her eyebrows, but it was different from when she was facing her daughter, gentle and quiet, quiet and polite, and less loving and pitiful as if she had drowned people.

He looked at the porcelain cup in front of him, and before she could withdraw her hand, his eyes stopped on her fingers, and the blue tea cup lined his fingertips with thin and slender after the rain... accidentally asked him to remember that when he was hospitalized, she changed his bandages... Where your fingertips touch, it heats up like a fire.

After thinking about it, the ghost spider coughed, suppressed the strange look in her heart, and opened her mouth to call her, "I picked up something, it's yours, right?" ”

"Huh?" The person who was about to turn around with the tea stopped, "What? ”

"It should be yours." As he spoke, the ghost spider detective took out the thing that was carefully guarded from his pocket, pretended to put it in his hand unintentionally, and handed it out, "I've seen you make it up for the little ghosts in the hospital to play with." ”

It was a straw cage the size of half a hand, made of tough vine stalks, delicate and small, and when he was hospitalized, he saw her one day weaving it in the courtyard downstairs to coax a sick imp.

Grass can be found everywhere, and grass cages are sparse and ordinary, but there is something special about her approach.

"Huh?" Her gaze fell a little, and there was a little surprise between her eyebrows, "This is..." looked at the grass cage for a few seconds, and slowly stretched out her hand, as if she was a little puzzled.

"Nana, you made this up, right?" Zhan Taomaru suddenly spoke, his tone was a little higher, and he was a little surprised, "It was at that time..."

"Ah~ Sure enough, it's Nana, I said this is different." She glanced at her daughter with a smile and said softly, "I learned it~ Don't pester my mother to weave a grasshopper cage next time~"

…………

The ghost spider's mind momentarily made her words a little different, and by the way, she squinted at the little ghost next to her who was flattened and looked unhappy, and her fingers were palpable... In an instant, it was a mutation.

In the corner of her eye, her plain white fingers were close to the thing he was holding in his palm, and this seemingly ordinary grass cage overflowed a few wisps of black smoke in an instant, quickly and strangely entangled to her fingertips, snakes, insects and leeches drilled straight into the skin.

In the flash of lightning, the ghost spider suddenly withdrew his hand, and the force brought the object in his palm to the side, and then he grabbed her wrist with his backhand, and the filthy smoke covered the skin of her fingertips, and at the moment he clenched it, he twisted a few times and burst out in vain.

"Huh? Lieutenant General? Xu was overwhelmed by his reaction, and she was a little stunned for a moment before trying to get rid of him, her eyes showing dazedness, "What's wrong?" ”

"You-" The ghost spider looked at her face carefully, slowly lowered her eyes, and examined her hand repeatedly, and after a long time to make sure she was okay, she let go, and then turned her face away.

The grass cage froze into a ball of ice and fell a few meters away from the sofa, and it was the pheasant that activated the Devil Fruit ability to freeze it.

The yellow ape also stood up, his face was grim, and his momentum was unconcealable, but in the blink of an eye, except for her, she didn't seem to see anything unusual, and the rest of the people were all looking drastic, especially Nana, the little ghost had a white face, and she was simply shocked.

"Mom?"

"Yay~" Yellow Ape opened her mouth to interrupt her daughter's crying, and turned her gaze to Zhan Taomaru, her low voice wrapped in anger, "Ah Tao, who did you say this thing belonged to?" ”

"Report sir, it's mine." The little ghost who was about to cry was the first to speak, "At that time, during the exploration operation on Seshel Island, they were used to measure and locate the flow direction of mountain streams. ”

"Some of them flow into the sea along surface channels, and some of them seem to fall into an underground undercurrent."

"Huh? Seshel? The yellow ape's expression moved slightly, paused, and then spoke again, "Ghost spider, where did it come from?" Could it be..."

"Ah~ as you think, it's there." The ghost spider nodded, he wanted to hide it... Who knew that there was such a fork in the way, the grass cage was found at the house of the two deceased, he originally thought... Someone deliberately threw it there in an attempt to set up a blame.

After thinking about it, the ghost spider's eyes sank as she looked at her daughter.

If it's Seshire... Then the grass cage is likely to be left there with cannibal xenos, and everything in the near future may be for this little ghost at all, if not all accidents, at least the mutant virus part will be involved with this little ghost.

If so...
