The dream was so bizarre that I woke up from my sleep with a feeling of weakness in my entire being, and sweating so much that my clothes were wet.
But then I laughed bitterly, how could the woman in the red dress be Nova, I don't know why I had such a dream, it was weird to say the least.
After opening the curtains, the sun was already very big outside, I looked at the time, it was already after ten in the morning, I washed up and went downstairs, Stein ordered breakfast for me, while Antonio was teasing the little fox with a roast chicken, he kept shaking a chicken leg, but he just wouldn't give it to the little fox, so furious that the little fox's mouth bulged up with two buns, and his tail was sticking up high.
As soon as the little fox saw me, it rushed over, "Hey, when are you going to let me go, you could have agreed before, no cheating." The little fox pointed at me with a cute finger.
I said fine, you can go now, I won't stop you, go ahead.
The little fox patted her chest and said that before she left she asked me to remove the Demon - suppressing Talisman from her heart.
I shrugged and said that I wouldn't press it, and that I'd have to wait until Stella got back to take it off.
Knowing that I was being cheeky again, the little fox puffed up his mouth and kept quiet, crouching down to sulk.
I handed her the roasted chicken in Antonio's hand, then stroked her little head and said, "The three-tailed fox has not yet been removed, if you go back safely, what will he think? At that time, you won't be able to tell with ten mouths, if he is ruthless and kills you, then you will be wronged."
The little fox's eyes dribbled around a few times, as if thinking about the problem, and what I said does make sense, since the little fox fell into our hands, she that is definitely bound to die, how can she go back safely? Three-tailed fox suspicion together, kill her is also extremely likely.
The little fox frowned and immediately got worried, if that was the case, then she wouldn't dare to leave, it would be better to stay here to be safe.
I told her not to worry, and I egged her on, that whether she went back to follow the three-tailed fox or went back to the deep woods, it would be better to stay here anyway.
The little fox blinked her innocent little eyes and said What's so good about this place? We're all humans, she's a demon, it's only bad if she mixes in with us.
At this time I completely shoved the roast chicken into her hands, she had long been craving for roast chicken for a long time, her mouth was watering, and when she got her hands on it, she immediately wolfed it down, and it's true that foxes and weasels both like roast chicken.
"That's the first benefit, there's an endless supply of roast chicken at our place." I promised, I still wouldn't treat her badly in this regard.
"There's another benefit, you won't be captured and killed by Erebus - profiteers while you're with us, some Erebus - profiteers only kill human demons, but some Erebus - profiteers don't care so much, as long as it's a demon they get rid of it. You're kind of in shelter with us." I said.
A demon with a shallow Dao like Little Fox, once targeted by an Erebus - profiteer, it would be fatal, otherwise she wouldn't have sought out the big backer that is the Three Tailed Fox, ironically, the Three Tailed Fox sold her out straight away without batting an eyelid.
"When you put it like that, it seems like the conditions are pretty good." The little fox whimpered as she nibbled on a chicken leg.
"Well? Going to stay? Think of it as working for me." I continued to compel.
The little fox blinked her eyes and thought for a dozen seconds before she said, "Yes, but I have a condition, I want twenty roasted chickens every month."
Every thought of agreeing so quickly, this really is the most innocent fox I've ever seen, I can't help but be a little snickering, I actually tricked a demon into working for me.
"No problem, isn't it just twenty roasted chickens? Satisfy you." I agreed with alacrity.
By this time the little fox had eaten the roast chicken down to the bone, and she licked her fingers frantically before continuing, "And, Demon on my chest - suppressing Talisman ..."
I say there's no rush on this, and that nothing at all will happen anyway as long as Demon - suppressing Talisman is not triggered.
The little fox gave an oh, as if believing my words, if this is a real human, I guess the moment I go out, I can let the human traffickers abducted, too much simplicity!
Of course, no matter what, Demon - Suppressing Talisman can't be taken out now, just in case the little fox will have any accidents or hurt someone or something like that, after all, it's a demon, and I don't have absolute certainty that I can control her, even though she's acting innocently right now, but I have to keep an eye out.
After fixing the little fox, I counted another helper, she is a demon, should not be money and so on, buy her roast chicken on it, even if she is no longer good, in the side to me to sell a cute good, just like having a pet.
Just then, a call came in out of the blue, and I picked it up to find it was Nova.
She asked me to come to Nova's family as soon as she opened her mouth, and she asked me to come alone, and when I asked what was up she wouldn't say, and made me come first.
Originally today was also going to Nova's family, because Nova's family other people have not tattooed Chitipati, so agreed to, I also let Nova to the other people to convene a bit, but there are so many people, one by one, I have to tattoo for a few days, but it does not matter, this is business, I'm also happy it, Nova's family is so rich, I'm sure that I want to cut the leeks a little bit, just to charge him one! I'll charge him 50,000 per person, and that's more than 30 people, so there must be more than a million, think about it, I'm a little excited.
But Nova didn't answer me back, instead she hung up the phone, kind of baffled, was my Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts not working? It can't be, can it?
After breakfast, I left Stein and the guys to watch the shop and I travelled to Nova's family alone, feeling a little apprehensive about what was going on on the way.
On arriving at Nova's family, I found the underlings standing at the door, all grim-faced, and a little fearful; the door was so tightly closed that no one dared enter, but only looked at it in dismay.
Nova's family's underlings were probably around twenty as well, half men and half women, but of these twenty, none of them dared to move or speak.
I asked what was wrong. None of them answered, they just let me in, saying that Missy had ordered it.
I looked at them feeling a little strange, but didn't ask too many questions and just pushed the door and walked in.
The room was dark, Nova seemed to have closed the doors and windows, and the curtains were drawn so that basically not a single ray of light could come in.
After adjusting to the darkness, I saw a person sitting on the couch, and judging by her form, she was Nova.
"What happened to you ... What happened to Nova's family? Why aren't the lights on?" I asked towards Nova on the couch.
Nova didn't say anything, but her body kept writhing as if to express something, and I suddenly had the feeling that we weren't the only two in the room.
When I realised something was wrong, I started to look around frantically, but I couldn't spot anyone, and just then Nova looked up desperately, as if gesturing for me to look upwards.
I immediately looked up, and was stunned, on the ceiling of the house, there were three dozen women hanging, they all seemed to have been killed, their heads drooping feebly, and then three dozen pairs of feet swaying above my head, but I actually didn't notice it just now, and now when I think about it, I can feel my scalp tingling.
