6.47 - Heloise's Past (Part )
Under the breeze, the white mist on the lakeside quickly dissipated.
Heloise was already dressed by this time. She neatly folded the black cloak that Fike had temporarily lent her and returned it to him when he came back.
"Lord Fike, the Evil Tiger King God thanks you for your support. The danger of the rampage has been resolved."
"Haha, you're welcome."
Looking at the warm smile on Fike's face, Heloise found it quite magical. Fike was like his cloak, plain and unassuming on the outside, but only when you actually got to know him (and wore him) did you discover his exquisite comfort.
Heloise hadn't felt such considerate care for a long time... The last time she was surrounded by her tiger family was when their territory had not been invaded.
"Heloise, shall we continue on our journey?"
"The Evil Tiger King God's apostles are ready to set off at any time~!"
·
Before setting off, Fike once again invited Heloise to ride on horseback with him, but Heloise still declined.
As a member of the Tiger People tribe, running is her way of exercising.
In addition, this time, Feke's warhorse no longer competed with Heloise. They all maintained a steady pace and ran parallel to each other on the dirt road.
"Lord Fike, where did you get your archery skills from? Your sharp aura can practically dispel darkness."
"Hahaha, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I just practiced archery while hunting."
Heloise still remembered Fike's performance in the battle just now.
It was obviously the first time for the two of them to cooperate, but Feike seemed to be able to guess what Heloise would do next, and he always gave her just the right support, which gave Heloise the opportunity to severely damage the Sand-Eating Mad Scorpion and complete the decisive blow.
This rare tacit understanding in the battle made Heloise subconsciously develop some good feelings towards Feke. In addition, the two now have the same goal, so after talking about the topic of fighting, Heloise continued to talk to Feke about other things.
"Fike, there's a faint aura of darkness coming from your warhorse."
"Feike, there's a plump pigeon in the tree ahead. Why not let it become a sacrifice to the Evil Tiger King?"
"Feike, the power of the Evil Tiger King God is about to overflow. Please wait here for a moment."
"..."
By sunset, Heloise and Fige had become very familiar with each other. At this time, Fige asked Heloise a question.
"Heloise, you said you were from the Tiger People tribe, but why don't I see any Tiger People characteristics on you...?"
After hearing this, Heloise hummed twice in self-satisfaction, and then told Fike the reason.
·
·
Heloise has been an orphan since childhood.
When Heloise was old enough to understand, her parents had long since disappeared, and she was raised by a human trafficking organization.
Of course, the human trafficking organization had no good intentions. They were only willing to give Heloise a meal because she was a beauty, hoping that the little girl could be sold for a good price when she was thirteen or fourteen years old.
However, I don’t know whether to say it was fortunate or unfortunate, but when Heloise was nine years old, the human trafficking organization offended the local lord and was wiped out overnight.
Since then, Heloise has returned to a state of loneliness and can only rely on herself to make a living.
Nine-year-old Heloise led a life of wandering. Unknowingly, she crossed the border with the refugees of the great migration, left the Kingdom of West, and entered the neighboring Farnese Empire.
While catching pheasants in the forest, Heloise accidentally entered the territory of the tiger people.
At that time, Heloise was so frightened when she saw the tiger people with sharp teeth that she trembled and thought she was going to be eaten.
Unexpectedly, the tiger people were very friendly to her and took her in to become a member of the tiger tribe.
Time passed quickly, and Heloise had lived in the Tiger Tribe for five years. During these five years, she had become a true Tiger Girl.
Whether it is the culture of the Tiger People or their fighting skills, she has mastered them all with ease. Even when compared with real Tiger People, she is not inferior.
At the age of fifteen, Heloise received her coming-of-age ceremony in the tribe.
The elders were impressed by Heloise's butterfly-like fighting posture. Looking at her pure white hair, the elders gave her the title of "White Tiger Butterfly".
However, Heloise was not satisfied. She said that the Evil Tiger King God she believed in appeared in the mortal world as a handsome one-eyed black tiger, so she wanted to be called "Black Tiger Butterfly".
The people of the Tiger People Tribe were already accustomed to Heloise's bizarre ideas, and the elders even doted on her and agreed to her request, giving Heloise the title of "Black Tiger Butterfly" again.
The happy times seemed to last forever, but just a few months after the coming-of-age ceremony, the tiger people's territory was attacked by the demon army.
It was the Demon Tribe's ace troops that attacked the tribal territory.
That day, the Steel-Armored Demonic Rhino troops rampaged across the land, and the Howling Dragon troops poured fire from the sky. They came as fast as lightning, giving the Tiger People no chance to react, and in an instant the forest was engulfed in flames.
Later, the Human Alliance forces gradually fought back and eventually recaptured half of the Tiger People's territory, but these territories were not returned to the Tiger People, but were directly occupied by humans.
From then on, Heloise could only wander around with the tiger people, making the world her home, until she met "that adult".
"The Lord has been very kind to us. He not only provided us with a place to live, but also arranged jobs for us. He is also very supportive of our desire to gather strength to retake the territory!"
"Most importantly, my Lord still believes in the legend of our 'Evil Tiger King God', and he also gave me..."
Having said this, Heloise stopped, hesitating whether she could tell Fike about the "Blood of Trial".
After thinking for a while, she felt that she couldn't tell anyone without the permission of the Earth Ghost Master, so she changed her words and said, "That master is very supportive of me continuing to improve my strength and hopes that I can awaken the power of the Evil Tiger King God as soon as possible!"
"So that's how it is. 'That Lord' is truly a great benefactor to the Tiger People."
Fike echoed, his face revealing his admiration for "that adult" without any concealment.
"Hehe, yes. When the Evil Tiger God King is resurrected, 'that sir' will be the greatest contributor."
Heloise nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with trust in "that sir."
·
After hearing Heloise's life story, Jiang Ran could basically guess the whole story.
However, before Jiang Ran obtains evidence that the Earth Ghost deceived the Tiger People, it will be very difficult for him to persuade Heloise to rebel.
While chatting and laughing, Heloise said that she wanted to release some of the power of the Evil Tiger King God. Jiang Ran understood the meaning of this and consciously did not follow her.
Heloise walked alone in the woods and found a suitable spot, but at that moment, the voice of "that adult" suddenly came from behind her.
"Hiss... Heloise, can you hear me...hiss... This is urgent... I need to update you on the information about 'Banning'."

6.48 - A brief confrontation
━━━━━━━━━━
October 187, 7
〖6:32 pm〗
[Confession death countdown remaining: 19 days]
[Remaining time after Heloise is fully infected: 3~4 days]
━━━━━━━━━━
At the edge of the woods, Jiang Ran looked at the owl staring at him not far away, feeling vaguely unhappy.
He had a feeling that the owl had ill intentions, but he couldn't put his finger on why, so he used the skill "Trickster: Word Spirit" to make it fly away.
(Heloise was gone for a really long time this time...)
Just as Jiang Ran was about to go over and take a look, a red warning light suddenly shone towards him, pointing directly at his right hand.
Without having time to think, Jiang Ran reflexively activated the skill "Computing Power Boost·Overclocking". At the same time, he drew his weapon and dismounted. The whole set of movements was done in one go, and before running away, he did not forget to pat the scooter to let it take shelter quickly.
Then in the next second, Jiang Ran saw the white-haired girl jump out from the tree branch, extending her hidden sword and piercing the place where he was just now.
"Heloise? What are you doing?!"
"You cunning demon, don't even think about deceiving this Evil Tiger God King's apostle again!"
(demon?)
(Continue to deceive?)
Jiang Ran tried to communicate with Heloise, but she was angry and didn't listen to him at all.
After a frontal attack failed, Heloise immediately twisted her body and continued to swing the hidden blade on her wrist towards Jiang Ran!
Seeing this, Jiang Ran had to temporarily put aside the idea of communication and concentrate on dodging the red light warning, while always being alert to Heloise's two skills.
After a flurry of thrusts and slashes, Heloise, who had been stabbing and slashing in vain, had to stop and take a breath, while Jiang Ran was still at ease and took the opportunity to widen the distance between them.
(Why do you think I'm a demon?)
(Also, she just said, don’t even think about deceiving this Evil Tiger King God’s apostle again?)
Recalling what Heloise had just said, Jiang Ran discovered a clue.
From the time he met Heloise until now, almost a day has passed, and Jiang Ran has not done anything to deceive Heloise. If he had to say something, it would be the fake name "Feike" and the dyed hair color.
However, Heloise couldn't have discovered these things for no reason, which meant that someone must have told her in the past few minutes.
(I was careless. I didn't expect that the "Earth Ghost" would be able to connect with her in just a few minutes...!)
Whether in the Earth world or the Prison Star world, if a man's lie is seen through by a woman, it will become a huge problem.
Jiang Ran was afraid of Heloise's agile movements and did not dare to continue close combat. He fought and retreated all the way, deliberately leading the battlefield to the road.
In this way, Heloise would not be able to use trees to launch an all-round attack in three-dimensional space.
And Heloise seemed to have seen through Jiang Ran's thoughts. Taking advantage of the moment when Jiang Ran's center of gravity was unstable while he was retreating, she suddenly rushed in front of Jiang Ran!
"Spiral Dance!"
Relying on the red light warning, Jiang Ran avoided the torrential series of attacks in advance... and after using all his strength to dodge, he gained a new understanding of his own strength - it turned out that Jiang Ran's body skills had been unknowingly improved to another level.
(The dexterity attribute may seem small each time, but the cumulative effect is surprisingly significant.)
Jiang Ran even wanted to thank Heloise. If she hadn't pushed him so hard, he wouldn't have realized that he still had potential that hadn't been tapped.
On the other side, Heloise was stunned when her proud attack was avoided. She saw very clearly that Fike's side sliding and dodging skills were even faster than hers!
"Heloise, I don't mean to hurt you. How about we stop and talk for a while?"
At this moment, Fike's words were like a sharp knife stabbing Heloise's sore spot.
"You're a liar! You said you were an archer! How could an archer be faster than me?"
·
Jiang Ran originally wanted to talk to Heloise when she was feeling frustrated, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.
Heloise, who was originally a little hesitant, suddenly became more motivated after being "ridiculed" by Fike!
As a tiger man and a blade dancer, Heloise's pride would not allow her to lose to an archer in close combat.
Now she doesn't care about Banning or Fike anymore. She must prove that she is better than the boy in close combat!
"Evil Tiger King God, your apostle must break the commandments here for the glory of our clan!"
Heloise placed her hand on the eye patch on her right eye with a serious expression, and her whole demeanor suddenly changed.
"Burn! Khajiit blood!"
"Explode! Tiger-man body!"
"Evil Tiger King's Eye! Seal Removed!!!"
While shouting loudly, Heloise took off the blindfold in a very dashing manner!
Under that pitch-black blindfold, it was...!
·
It turned out to be a right eye that was as healthy as the left eye.
·
Jiang Ran couldn't help laughing for a moment, and now Heloise was so angry that her hair stood on end!
"You, you, you, what are you laughing at?!"
"You damned devil! How dare you laugh at the Evil Tiger King's Eye! You will soon pay the price for your ignorance!"
