Witch’s Revenge
Under the circumstances of wearing Seastone handcuffs, Absolem naturally could not activate his ability, but in order to prevent any accidents, Kuro still activated his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and carefully probed it.
He was indeed dead.
Kuro smacked his lips. “Sea Pirate…”
“Ah?!”
Hugo picked up a book on his desk and said, “The content has changed! I just missed two poems.”
Obviously, this was caused by Absolem’s ability. Once he died, all illusions would disappear.
“What book?” Kuro asked.
“This is… Witch’s Revenge!” Hugo’s eyes were full of surprise.
“Show me.”
Kullo held out his hand and Hugo handed him the book. It was thick, a compendium of local poetry and stories. The other pages were normal, except for this one, which was familiar to him…
Port.
“Nero, don’t give us any more trouble.”
The young staff member was teaching the old Nero a lesson. At this moment, he had already calmed down and did not have the previous sense of madness. He sat obediently and listened to the person in front of him like a child.
“It’s fine if you make a fuss on normal days, but you have to consider the occasion. That’s Marine, how can you run into them?”
The staff member pursed his lips and said, “It’s already bad enough that we can’t join the Marine, but you still offended them. If this continues, we won’t be able to stand you.”
“That’s right, old man Nero, everyone usually takes care of you, but you can’t do whatever you want. If you don’t restrain yourself, we’ll go to the superior and you can quit.”
The other staff members said with some anger on their faces.
In the past, he tolerated this old man because he saw that he did not have a family and the salary he received was used for relief. He knew that he was kind, so it was fine if he was crazy sometimes. Anyway, they were all businessmen and civilians.
But it is not good to do this to Marines. They are a subordinate agency of the World Government. If they want to go out to sea and embrace the world, there is no other way except through Marines.
If they go to sea without permission, they will be convicted. Their families are all in the kingdom. No matter how strong their desire for the sea is, they can only stay here.
“I got it…”
Nero looked very guilty and said apologetically, “I won’t do it again. I was a little out of line before.”
“It’s best if you understand. We don’t really want you to lose this job.”
The staff nodded and advised, “Take care of yourself in the future. There are no witches. That kind of thing is just a legend.”
“That’s right, I also read that kind of book when I was a child. It’s not a big deal. What turning into a monster at night? It’s still fine now.”
“That’s right. I don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking. What can that kind of book do? It’s actually sealed.”
“Shh, don’t talk nonsense.”
A staff member stopped the others from speaking and looked around. “It’s not good to be heard by others… Well, in short, old man Nero, just listen to us. In the future, you can’t call anyone you meet a witch.”
“Witch!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nero’s eyes widened and his expression became frightened and crazy. He pointed ahead. “It’s a witch, a witch!”
“Nero, you’re starting again!”
The staff member gritted his teeth and turned his head along Nero’s finger. “There’s no one here now. What so-called witch, and you…”
His voice stopped abruptly. He was looking in the direction of the huge plaque on the door, but at this moment, the plaque was not the rules and regulations of entry and exit management at all, but an article filled with fonts.
That article, just by looking at the beginning, reminded the staff of a long time ago, a childhood memory…
“W-Witch’s Revenge?”
Not only him, but everyone was staring at the plaque in horror. The font on it was red like blood. If one looked carefully, they would find that the font was a little wet, as if these words had just been written in blood.
“It’s coming, the witch is coming!”
The old man Nilo ran around and shouted, “The witch has come for revenge! She has come for revenge with resentment! Hahaha, she has come for revenge!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nero knelt down and his body curled up. His head was on the ground and he was crying. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me. I didn’t mean to burn you to death. It was those people who carried you. It has nothing to do with me!”
As soon as the crying ended, Nero looked up with an extremely strange smile. “Burn, all of you, turn into fire so that you can live forever. Hehehehe!”
That crazy smile, no matter who it is, makes their heart turn cold…
In an old and tall building, although the sunlight shone through a few corners of the window, it seemed to be useless in the deep darkness. The sound of cold stones and dripping water mixed with the light footsteps from time to time made the building look very strange.
A flash of light appeared in the darkness.
“Yooheehee…”
Sipatija squinted and walked out of the darkness, one step at a time, and stood next to a light-filled window.
She leaned against the wall and looked at the blood on her palm. She stuck out her tongue and licked it, making a satisfied soothing sound.
“He almost died. That Marine is really powerful.”
Sipatiya showed her sharp teeth. “His blood must be very beautiful. Ah… Just thinking about it makes me want to have an orgasm.”
“Ah ah ah!”
“Monster, monster!”
Outside the window, a scream suddenly sounded.
West Patia turned around and saw a few people screaming and running back in the street below. One of them fell to the ground and moved back crazily with his butt.
“No, don’t!”
The man stared ahead in horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing.
However, in the next moment, he was stunned and his eyes turned red.
“Ah ah ah, roar!”
Seeing that the man suddenly let out a strange roar after the horror, Sipathea grinned from the corner of her mouth to her ears. “I see. Is that gloomy man dead?”
Through the window, she looked at the tallest and most magnificent palace in front of her and laughed. “I don’t know if Bluebeard will find out in time. It’s time to fight, yohe, hahahaha!”
High-pitched demonic laughter echoed in the building, making the originally light footsteps even more shaken.
… .
Kuro looked at the contents of the book. It was also not long, but it was a little more than the plaque he had seen before.
“No matter how many times the cursed residents die, they will still be resurrected during the day. During the day, they will forget everything and live like normal people. At night, they will become monsters and remember everything that makes them despair. They want to stop it, but they can’t stop their nature of drinking blood.”
“Kill each other and plunder the living. Malice overshadows nature. Only when you become a crazy monster can you get a moment of peace.”
“This kingdom has long been a cursed place. There is nothing but despair and madness.”
