"I'll take her to rest." Zhang Su helped Katy away.

She leaned on Zhang Su in a daze.

After a few hours of drinking, now the others have already eaten and gone back to work. Before anyone else could see him, Zhang Su sent Katie back to the Precept Tower.

Katie lies on top of her treasure pile of guns.

She was dazed, stretched out her hand to grab Zhang Su, and her fingers lingered on his arm.

Missing, intimacy, and more of a sense of touch.

"Hug me......" Katy whispered.

Zhang Su had never seen Katy like this.

How could he leave Katy at such a time? Zhang Su sat beside her and accompanied her.

"Why do you drink so much?" Zhang Su asked.

Katy grabbed Zhang Su with her fingers, again and again.

At this time, he felt how terrifying Edith's sense of manipulation was, and it was only when he was with Katy that he felt truly relieved, and she snuggled up in Zhang Su's arms.

At this time, Katy lazily opened her arms and rested her head on Zhang Su's chest, and she still tilted her ears to listen to Zhang Su's heartbeat, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"Don't leave...... Katie muttered, her skin hot with another burp.

Zhang Su was distressed and funny, but he still comforted and took care of Katy.

"Don't drink so much in the future." Zhang Su said, "I won't be taken away by Edith. ”

"Really?" Katie relaxed, and she let her body sink and get heavier.

Zhang Su kissed her on the forehead, and then found that Katie was asleep.

On the other side, in the dining room, Edith, who was still drunk, sat up straight after Zhang Su and Katy left.

Her face returned to calm, the kind of calm that erased all emotion, and there was no drunkenness at all.

“…… Lady Edith, are you not drunk at all? Lescollin cleaned up the table.

"Why do you think I'm going to get drunk?" Edith asked rhetorically in a relaxed tone.

Lescollin nodded, and went to the kitchen with a table full of cutlery to clean.

Yoshikai Kazama sat coldly at the table.

"Even so, I still don't recommend that you get too close to Zhang Su." He said.

"What are you jealous of? Kokazama? Edith got up, "I'll go find a room for us to rest." ”

……

Night.

Lianwu wanted to see if she would turn into a monster again, so she went outside.

She stared up at the moon, 10 days after the last full moon, and the last quarter moon hung high in the eastern sky. Anxin fell silent, the breeze ruffling her headband.

Flutter –

She felt a little pain in her head, and after a while, she saw that her body was stained with the glow of the moon, and her horns grew back, and her skin became pale as snow, and sure enough, if she walked around at night, it would become like this, and it would become Yuehua Lotus Mist again.

The sound of leather shoes breaking the silence, Lian Wu turned around and saw a figure in an overcoat, with a slender curve visible in the moonlight.

"Edith...... Miss...... It's so late......" Lotus Mist bowed cautiously to Edith.

"You too, you're still outside so late, do you love moonlight?" There was a hint of amusement in Edith's sweet voice.

"I ......" Lian Mist's body tensed.

"Don't be too nervous." Edith stepped forward and stroked the horns growing on the top of Lian Wu's head, "Family inheritance, inevitable. We all have our own secrets, don't we? ”

The crooked horns of the moonlight shining on her head were evidence of blood. Lianwu was silent.

Yes, the secret of Tsukikahime, which should be left in Ansan-in, buried for generations to come out of fear and shame.

Her greatest wish was to be able to solve the problems of the ancestors once and for all, so that many heavy responsibilities would disappear.

"It is said that a witch who has broken the position 9 times will become a 'god' after the 10th successful break, and that power is enough to defeat all demons." Edith said.

"......" Lian Wu shook her head. In the current world, the most powerful witch has only broken the position 9 times, and the 10th break is too difficult.

"Yuehua Ji is an existence that is extremely close to the form of the 'Moon God', and she has inherited this 'divine blood', and has the most potential to become the savior of our world in the future. I'm glad you're willing to stay in Anxin and slowly refine your magic. Edith looked at Lotus Mist.

“……！” Lianwu only felt scared. She didn't want this twisted power, and her mind flashed with the terrifying face of Yuehua Ji and the countless ancestors buried at her feet.

"Don't be afraid." Edith said.

For some reason, when Edith said it, the fear in Lianwu's heart also vanished, and she blinked.

“！” Lotus Mist felt the exuberant magic power, and felt the moonlight divine blood of Yuehua Ji.

"If you are protected and saved by others, you may be able to protect and save everyone in the future." Edith's fingers ran over Lian Mist's cheek, "Do you have someone you want to protect?" ”

Lian Wu nodded, thinking of Zhang Su. Although it is a small lotus mist now, it will become more powerful in the future, and maybe there will be a chance to protect Zhang Su! She couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.

During this process, Edith always stared into Lotus Mist's eyes.

Soon, a smiling expression appeared on her face, and she left.

……

Next.

After the drunken incident, Katy is still spying on Edith. And Edith just walks, reads, and works every day, focusing on her own affairs.

Kazama Yoshihuai wants to check the containment status of Yuehuaji, and Zhang Su goes with him to the secret dungeon of Anxinyuan.

Using the director's badge to open the spiral staircase, the two of them went in together to the corridor.

There are also some attached rooms on both sides of the road, which are used for funerals, makeup, and preparation of ritual props by the people in front of Anxin Hospital, which is quite eerie and feels very uncomfortable to walk.

Lianwu's matriarchal predecessors may show signs of atavism, with white skin and horns on their heads...... Zhang Su said secretly. Maybe it's because of this that they want to stay here for the rest of their lives, so as not to be regarded as an outlier.

Kazama Yoshikai was holding a flashlight, his short stature and gloomy expression reminded Zhang Su of some kind of moving stone statue, and his presence here always made Zhang Su feel uncomfortable.

Coming to the underground secret cave, countless sealing yellow talismans hang from the top of the cave-like room, blocking any light, and it is separated from the ground by 10 meters.

The structure of the cave was originally geotechnical and was later modified into an alloy frame by the Human Defense Program.

The air was cold, giving them goosebumps. Kazama Yoshikai took a few steps forward, and although he tried to restrain himself, he still trembled a little.

"The seal looks intact." He looked up at Tsukikahime, the huge Tsukikahime was the eternal nightmare of Anxinin, she was asleep, her arms shackled.

Many electronic chains drilled directly into her cerebral cortex, monitoring Yuehuaji's physical signs.

Her broad mind fluctuated slightly with her breath in front of Zhang Su,

Tsukikahime is still alive. The witch who has broken the moon path 9 times is only one step away from becoming a witch god, and a witch of this level is almost immortal.

"It's best to stay away from Edith." Kazama Yoshihuai said this suddenly, which made Zhang Su feel a little headless.

"What? Chatting in front of Tsukika-hime? Zhang Su looked up.

"Not even Edith's power can be involved here, because Tsukikahime's energy is too strong to disrupt her observations." Yoshikai Kazama raised his head.

"You think Edith is a threat?" Zhang Su couldn't help but speak.

Yoshikai Kazama had been with Edith for even longer, a full 10 years, and was the oldest senior overseer, and although he was much weaker in age and physique than the others, he had a particularly special status.

"Not to mention, with Edith's power, what do you think will happen to us if she joins the side of Hell?" Kazama asked.

"Edith can't measure it." Zhang Su can see people's memory lines, but he can't see Edith's.

"I remind you that one day you'll be caught by Edith and eaten and wiped clean." Kazama Yoshikai turned, "But no matter how deep you fall, you have to take every opportunity to climb back." ”

"Why are you sure I'm going to be taken down by Edit?" Zhang Su asked.

Yoshikai Kazama took a deep breath.

"Your credibility is too strong." Kazama said.

"If you are a man, you have credibility, don't you have credibility?" Zhang Su asked rhetorically.

"I can figure it out on my own." Kazama said.

"Let's go find a wife! Don't tell me you can't find it, even if you are shorter, the annual salary will be bright, and there will be more people upside down. Zhang Su said.

"My lover is the Human Defense Project." Yoshikai Kazama said frankly.

"Can the Human Defense Plan satisfy your credibility? So are you leading it or what's going on? Zhang Su questioned.

"Just seeing us fight off demons again and again gives me satisfaction." Kazama said.

Suddenly, Yuehuaji's huge eyes slowly opened, and the blue light shone on them.

She stared indifferently at Zhang Su and Kazama Yoshihuai, who were as small as ants from her scale.

The rotten air grew heavier and heavier, as if it had taken on a weight of its own.

Zhang Su immediately looked at the intricate protective mechanisms to make sure they were intact enough to contain Yuehuaji's actions.

Kazama Yoshikai beside him quickly pressed his hand into his pocket, and he didn't know what other life-saving hole cards were hidden.

But Yuehua Ji's eyes were only open, and she didn't make any extra movements.

“…… Don't worry, the seal is intact...... "Zhang Su's expression is solemn," it may just be a biological stress reaction. ”

"Yes." Kazama Yoshihuai also judged after a while, "Tsukikahime is still asleep. ”

Even so, they invariably retreated.

Yuehua Ji was one of the few powerful people who had the potential to become a witch true god, and just thinking about this, Zhang Su felt that he should not be slack.

Soon, Yuehua Ji's eyelids gradually lowered, and she returned to her deep sleep, as if nothing had happened.

Returning to the dark corridor of the dungeon outside, Zhang Su and Kazama Yoshihuai walked side by side.

"You're making a lot of noise in a place like that." Kazama Yoshiwai said.

"You are the one who provokes the dispute." Zhang Su said.

"I'm kind enough to point out the risks." Kazama said coldly.

Zhang Su understood. Only there, Yoshiaki Kazama could hint at Edith's suspicions.

"I know you're very experienced and capable, but please believe that I have the skills to manage the Anxin Hospital, and I also have the means to deal with Edith." Zhang Su took a deep breath and tried his best to restrain his expression.

"You may be trustworthy, but it's very different from what I expected, you could have done better. If only I had your conditions. Kazama raised his head.

“…… If I were a senior overseer at your level, I could have done so much more. I can do a lot of things, a lot of earth-shattering things...... I have a thousand times more resources at my disposal. Zhang Su shook his head.

"You're not the only one in this world." Kazama said.

"No matter, let's go, if Edith sees the two of us like this, she must laugh at us." Zhang Su quickened the pace.

"Definitely." Kazama sighed.

They all stopped in unison, for Edith suddenly appeared at the end of the dungeon, like a ghost.
