Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi's words silenced Mesa.

But no matter how calm she tried to appear, her unconsciously trembling fingers betrayed her.

Perhaps it was excitement, perhaps it was exhilaration, or perhaps it was the fear of having years of numbness broken.

As Mesa said, the breathtaking beauty of Zhao Yi's chest only lasted for a very short time.

The blood changed color.

The roses also became blurry.

But this did not stop the shock and excitement that Zhao Yi brought her from continuing to spread.

It burned in Mesa's heart like dry tinder, emitting terrible heat and light.

At all costs, burn yourself and burn the other.

Until finally nothing is left.

After a long silence, Mesa's eyes flickered, and she said earnestly:

"Of all the gifts I've received in the past, this is definitely not the most expensive, nor is it the most thoughtful..."

Zhao Yibin was neither angry nor did he refute this.

He simply smiled and asked:

"So, can this vibrant red color slightly alleviate your boring life?"

A human and a ghost stared at each other.

After a long while, Mesa put down her crossed legs, stood up, and walked towards the door with a graceful cat-like gait.

She stopped as she walked past Zhao Yi.

Mesa leaned close to Zhao Yi's ear and bit his earlobe with her sharp teeth.

A sharp pain shot through her, and a few drops of blood flowed into Mesa's mouth.

Her lips were soft, and cold.

There is no temperature.

Mesa wasn't greedy; she only took a small taste.

Feeling the warmth of Zhao Yi's blood droplet, a barely perceptible hint of playfulness lingered in her indifferent tone:

"I forgive you for wearing white to the interview."

After saying that, she walked out of the house.

Upon seeing the female ghost Mesa, the anxious trainees waiting outside immediately became like a group of obedient children, standing at attention and standing quietly in place.

Many of them were initially secretly pleased, because not seeing Zhao Yi meant that Zhao Yi must have failed the interview.

However, they soon saw Zhao Yi, covered in blood, walk out from inside.

The secret joy in my heart vanished.

This guy... is he really that lucky?

They're still alive?

Just as they were wondering, they heard Mesa say softly:

Congratulations on passing the interview!

"You two have now become my apprentice lovers."

"Tomorrow, I will give each of you an hour to go on a date with me."

"If you can satisfy me, you can become my official lovers; if you can't satisfy me..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone already knew the outcome.

Before leaving, Mesa said again:

"Everything you own in this manor belongs to me. Fighting and brawling... are no longer allowed."

After she left, everyone present stared at Zhao Yi with gloomy eyes.

Zhao Yi has lost a lot of blood at this moment, making it the perfect time to kill him.

But since the female ghost had spoken, they could no longer make a move.

The half-headed ghost butler led them to their lodgings, where they all moved in.

Night gradually fell.

A group of trial participants who knew each other gathered together to chat about their interviews during the day, sharing information, and then began to speculate about what the female ghost Mesa liked and what their date would be like tomorrow.

As night fell, a lot of footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

It runs extremely fast.

The view outside the transparent glass window became blurry.

"quick!"

"search!"

"She's definitely there!"

A deep, resonant male voice rang out.

Everyone sensed something was wrong and rushed to the window, wanting to open it to see what was going on, but as soon as they touched the window, they found that it couldn't be opened at all!

Then they came to the doorway.

But the door was locked.

"Found it!"

"In the backyard!"

"Quick! Don't let her get away!"

The footsteps outside the window gradually faded away, leaving everyone filled with doubt. They tried to open the door repeatedly, but to no avail.

Many terrified and tragic screams echoed throughout the manor.

It looks like someone is running away.

Later, it gradually became desolate and lonely.

As everyone grew sleepy, they went to bed. However, in the middle of the night, a deep male voice came from outside again:

"Haha! We've finally caught that damned witch leader! We've really struck gold this time!"

"That's right! You lot, while she's about to give birth and is weak, first pierce her ears with holy nails, then cut off her tongue, so she can't chant any spells!"

"After you're done, lock her in the cellar, and then burn her alive after the sentencing at the church!"

"Burn her! Burn her! Burn him!"

After a burst of passionate shouts outside, a woman's screams rang out.

Those hiding inside the house could recognize that it was Mesa's voice!

She cried for help several times, but no one paid any attention.

The pitiful cries did not last long.

The witch was quickly taken away and imprisoned in a dark cellar somewhere in the manor.

Inside the room, Zhao Yi tried to open the door, but it was tainted by a mysterious force and couldn't be opened at all.

Zhao Yi recalled the painting he had seen earlier.

Blood was dripping from the female ghost's ears, her pure white bare feet were burned to charcoal, and only half of her tongue remained.

This seems to be recounting the persecution the female ghost experienced in her previous life.

"Witch... church..."

Judging solely from the commotion outside, this seems to be a story of a force called the Church hunting down a witch.

But Zhao Yi didn't think things would be that simple.

Because in the painting, the female ghost has no eyes.

Judging from what those people said, they did not gouge out the female ghost's eyes.

So... who gouged out the female ghost's eyes?

PS: Okay, there wasn't 6600 words today, but there were definitely 3 updates.

My darlings, let's each take a step back.

Don't blow my head off, or I'll write 6600.

Good night!!

(I'll make up for the words I missed today tomorrow. I'm starting to quit being lazy today.)

In addition, there are several short stories in the game, each of which is not very long and is of a different type. You can skip them if you don't like them.
