Chapter 61: Baal
Who's this? Where did Victoria go?
- This was the first thought that came to Summer Night's mind.
But as the girl turned her head slightly, she saw a face with features very similar to Victoria's.
Classical and elegant, like a character from an oil painting, but unlike Victoria, the girl's appearance is a little childish, which makes it look even more cute.
This is...... Victoria? A girly version of Victoria?
Xia Ye reacted suddenly, but in order not to disturb the other party, she didn't ask out loud immediately, just stood silently and observed.
"Victoria" stomped her foot slightly, and the cute little leather shoes decorated with bows hit the floor, and the floor around the girl immediately changed.
They became a piece of silky cloth, the color of which was emerald green like a girl's dress, and the fabric was slightly undulating like a wave, and the girl stood lightly on it, and the whole picture was like a fairy tale.
In the next second, "Victoria" raised the scissors with both hands, aimed the blades at the beautiful silk cloth, and cut them with a click, and a wide crack soon appeared, and under the crack, the summer night faintly glimpsed the brilliant but chaotic colors.
It's like squeezing dozens of oil paints together, then scattering them and smearing them on the canvas.
A bony hand came out of the crack, it was a giant palm larger than the whole person of "Victoria", but it did not look hostile, and the girl handed it the "answer sheet" written by the summer night, and it stretched out its sharp fingertips, carefully twisted up a few pieces of paper, and retracted them into the crack.
But after a while, the giant palm stretched out again, and it spread its hand towards the girl, and its six fingers gently hooked inward, as if begging for something.
"Victoria" pouted reluctantly, but turned around and hooked her finger at a shelf in the distance. With this action, the clothes on the shelves flew into the air like birds, and one by one they landed on the crook of the girl's arms.
When all a dozen pieces of clothing fell, "Victoria" put them all in the giant palm. The six fingers of the hideous appearance immediately closed together, carefully holding the clothes they had just gotten, and retracted into the crack again.
This time, a little longer passed.
When the giant palm came out of the crack for the third time, its fingertips twisted a roll of charred paper, and after handing it to "Victoria", it retracted, and then the crack closed, and the gap disappeared without a trace.
After a few seconds, the silk cloth also began to crumble, turning into countless silk threads, flying into the girl's skirt, and disappearing.
Victoria picked up a large roll of paper—small in its hand, but more than a meter tall—and walked over to Summer Night and Lillian, and threw it on the ground with a "thud".
The scroll of paper was spread out a little, and the summer night saw that there were several witch characters written crookedly on it, each of which was the size of half a door, and the colors were mixed, like a child's graffiti.
But instead of rushing to read the contents of the paper scroll, she stared at the girl in front of her.
"Victoria?"
“……”
"I guessed right, right? Although my body has become even more barren than me, how can it be that if I look at my face, it can't be someone else? ”
The girl ...... tightly grasped the large scissors in her hand and continued to remain silent.
"Ah, since Victoria isn't here, I'm going to burn all the clothes here, so I don't have to come every week......"
"If you dare to do that, I'll cut off your head right now." The girl finally spoke, and it was indeed Victoria's voice, but it was much more immature than usual.
Even if you cut it off, you won't die, Summer Night complained in her heart.
But now, her focus is clearly not here: "So it's really Victoria?!" How did you become like this? Do magical girls transform? This dress is so flashy but so beautiful! That's what you were like when you were younger, right? It's so much cuter than it is now! Come and hug ......."
Faced with a barrage of words like a cannonball on a summer night, Victoria retorted: "I'm young now, too." ”
"Huh? Is it? I always thought you were a hundred-year-old ......."
A cold light flashed on the blades of the scissors.
Summer Night was very amused.
In order to prevent her from continuing to speculate, Victoria reluctantly explained, "This is the effect of the witch's contract 'prayer'. ”
"And what is the effect of the 'prayer'?"
"Fulfill one of the wishes of the deed-maker, and at the same time let her bear a certain price."
"And what is your wish?"
"Make my tailor 100 times stronger."
“…… Oh. Summer Night didn't know what to say about this wish for a while, so she had to ask again, "What is the price?" ”
Victoria did not answer.
"Hmph, even if you don't say it, I know." Summer Night smugly pointed to the girl's chest, "It must be at the cost of those two lumps of cumbersome fat, right?" Wahahaha-ga......ha
She was only halfway through laughing when she saw a flash of cold light coming straight to her neck. Summer Night hurriedly let her head jump upward, and the next moment, the scissors cut down against the broken cut in her neck, and the cold chill spread down her spine, making her whole body shiver.
After the blow, Victoria immediately withdrew the scissors, and Summer Night's head fell right back to her neck, and she held her head with both hands, and adjusted the position slightly so that the interface at her neck closed tightly.
"Whew...... You're too cruel too. Xia Ye had a frightened expression on his face, "Cutting off the head of a beautiful girl without saying a word is simply the act of a perverted murderer." ”
"You're not going to die anyway." Victoria said indifferently.
"Uh...... Speaking of which, I wanted to ask last time, don't you seem surprised to see my head running around? Are there any other witches like me? ”
"Compared to your personality, I think your running head is normal."
"......" Summer Night felt that the other party was scolding, but there was no evidence.
"Let's not waste time yet, let's take a look at the results of your test." Victoria naturally changed the subject: "Come, step on this head." ”
When Summer Night did so, she lifted her little foot and kicked hard at the end of the rolled paper, and with a "bang" sound, the rolled paper unfolded completely, and before it could be rolled up again, Victoria threw out the scissors, the tip of which pierced the end of the paper accurately, nailing it to the ground. In this way, the "small note" with a width of more than one meter and a length of more than ten meters was laid on the ground smoothly.
Victoria paced, reading from one end of the note to the other, pondering for a few seconds, and then said to Summer Night, "You are more adaptable to the 'Samikina' columns. ”
Xia Ye couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she was indeed very adaptable to the "Samikina" pillar system, otherwise she would not have been able to sign the highest-level "Soul Return". Does this mean that Victoria's quirky test method is quite accurate?
And just then, she heard Victoria continue, "It's not your best adaptable column, though. ”
"And the best?" She asked immediately.
"According to what is written on it, it is 'Barr.'"
