Chapter 50: Catherine the Witch I

"Dear Zhang, although I knew that you were not an ordinary person, I never expected that your true identity would be a wizard. Catherine stepped on ten-inch red heels and crossed the two dying bodies, their snow-white slender calves contrasting sharply with the bloody wounds.

Just as a werewolf stretched out its claws to grab her right foot, the witch with terrifying supernatural powers suddenly raised her right hand and made a wave motion.

The poor werewolf was suddenly swept away by an invisible force, and immediately fell from a great height, thud into the sharp metal pillar at the top of the lamp.

Dark red blood slowly slid down the grooves on the side, and he twitched for about a few seconds before swallowing his last breath.

Although it is not the first time to see the other party use his mind, I don't know why, Zhang Cheng still has an inexplicable nervousness, maybe it is the natural awe of what he doesn't understand, or it may be the shadow left in his heart before......

Anyway, he immediately stopped casting the spell and said tentatively in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure, "You've been following me?"

"Hehe, do you think I'm going to be the woman who does such a boring thing?" asked Catherine, curling the corners of her mouth, smiling rather than smiling.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, and immediately shook his head gently: "No, you won't." According to your personality, if you want to do something to me, you did it a long time ago when we first met, so there's no need to wait until now. ”

"Clever!" a look of approval flashed in Catherine's eyes. "Actually, I happened to have a date nearby, and when I heard the screams, I rushed over to see what was going on. In any case, these streets are under my jurisdiction, and I can't allow a few werewolves to go wild. ”

"Your jurisdiction?" Zhang Cheng keenly grasped a key word.

Although it has been a month since he came to this earth, which is more than 99% similar, it does not mean that he understands the rules of the operation of this world, to be precise, he is not qualified to understand.

He didn't have any power at that time, he just kept an eye on the spare time of his part-time job washing dishes, and then got a little bit of information through speculation.

In addition, "Catherine's Kiss" is ostensibly a restaurant, but secretly it is divided into two parts, the above part is a place for ordinary people to eat, and the underground part is a gathering place for superpowers and monsters.

Zhang Cheng was "lucky" to go in once, but he almost became a "snack" for a female vampire, so he never dared to walk around again, stayed in the kitchen honestly and never took half a step, and hurried home after work to lock the doors and windows, otherwise I am afraid that he would die in less than a month.

Catherine, apparently unaware that someone was slandering her restaurant, nodded with a smug smile: "Of course! There are twenty-two districts in Brooklyn, and each district has a council-appointed head, and I happen to be one of them, who is responsible for managing the day-to-day affairs and dealing with all kinds of emergencies, especially those bastards who like to mess around." Why, as a wizard, you don't even know this?"

Parliament?

Divide into regions?

Dealing with day-to-day tasks?

Zhang Cheng instantly realized that these mysterious forces hidden under the surface of the water were not scattered as he imagined, but had formed a complex ruling structure.

But it's not surprising to think about it, if it weren't for the suppression of a powerful force, with the speed and keen sense of smell of the "uncrowned kings" of the United States, I am afraid that the TV would have been filled with all kinds of news about supernatural powers and monsters.

After figuring this out, he touched his chin thoughtfully, and after about two or three minutes, he explained in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I've been living in an inaccessible place before, and I recently came to the United States, I don't know what the situation is here, and because of a magic accident some time ago, I couldn't release the spell for the time being, so I didn't have time to ask you for advice." ”

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, the so-called accident in your mouth should be referring to the accidental teleportation a month ago, right?" As she spoke, Catherine suddenly stretched out her right hand with black lace gloves without warning and gently pressed it on Zhang Cheng's chest.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this action is very much like a hint of ** between men and women.

But Zhang Cheng knows very well that this has nothing to do with ** at all, but is a naked threat, if he denies it, then the werewolf corpse hanging on the street lamp is probably the best example.

Out of caution, he didn't immediately make any drastic moves, but responded indifferently: "Yes, I was brought to New York by an accidental teleporter, I really didn't expect you to investigate so clearly." ”

"Of course I'm going to look into it, or I'm going to protect you? I'm a witch, and witches only do things that are powerful to themselves. Now that you have regained your strength, I ask you to repay this favor in accordance with the contract of asylum. Catherine didn't talk nonsense and made her request directly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand, can I please explain it in detail?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned.

He didn't expect that he would have to pay the price later when he accepted the other party's protection.

"Damn, you can't have really escaped from some inaccessible place, have you? You haven't even heard of the asylum contract?" Catherine grumbled, holding her forehead.

But complaining was complaining, and finally she patiently explained: "The asylum contract is the six basic laws proclaimed in 1862, when Congress was just established in the United States. To put it simply, when a person or creature is threatened, they can choose to temporarily take refuge in a certain party to accept protection, and when the crisis passes, they want to leave, and they must repay the equivalent of something. Maybe it's money, maybe it's a treasure, maybe it's a promise, you know?"

"I see, then what price do you want me to pay?" Zhang Cheng directly opened the negotiation mode.

There is no doubt that he does not like to be in debt, especially the invisible and untouchable debt of human affection, so the sooner it is paid off, the better.

"It's simple, I want you!" Catherine's eyes showed a naked strong possessiveness.

"Do you mean that you want me to pledge my allegiance to you, or do you want me to provide some special service? If it's the former, then I'm sorry, I'm not interested in offering loyalty to anyone, and if it's the latter, I'll say yes right away. Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and his whole person exuded a dangerous aura.

As a man accustomed to freedom, he didn't intend to be anyone's servant, even if it was a beautiful witch with great power.

However, Catherine didn't seem to be angry at all, and still calmly spread her hands and comforted: "Relax, dear, relax, I think you misunderstood me." I don't have the idea of making you a servant, I just want you to register your identity in my precinct. As for the special services......"

Speaking of this, she deliberately pulled a long tone, looked Zhang Cheng's slightly thin figure up and down, and finally laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! I'm sorry, with your physical strength, I'm afraid it's far from satisfying my desires......"
