25. Necromancer (Ticket Request at the Beginning of the Month~)
Originally, they were bounty hunters who had come to kill me and Lin Ke for the reward, not to mention that this white-haired elf was hiding a secret that could trigger the “main storyline.” Of course, Ke Fei’er and Ni Lu didn’t want to let her escape so easily!
However, in the next moment, I finally understood what the elf meant when she said, “She left us a great gift” while fleeing!?
Before Ke Fei’er and Ni Lu could catch up, suddenly, a few passersby appeared out of nowhere nearby! Had they sensed something unusual and come over as the “onlookers”?
I certainly didn’t have time to pay attention to them; the situation was urgent, and let them eat their popcorn if they wanted! But then, a bizarre scene unfolded! These passersby seemed to be anything but there to “join the fun.” They were mumbling strange sounds, “Aba aba,” while drooling disgustingly, and like chickens with their intestines exposed, they lost control right there, not to mention that in the next moment, they swayed like “abnormal beings,” opening their mouths wide and lunging toward me and Lin Ke!
“Roar!!! Food, food!!”
This wasn’t some zombie movie set!
Such a strange scene naturally caught the attention of Ke Fei’er and Ni Lu immediately!
“Get away from those people!”
“‘Your Highness,’ they don’t seem to be ‘ordinary’ people!”
I didn’t know if I could handle these “abnormal beings” with the power of the fairies on my side, but compared to chasing down that white-haired elf, Ke Fei’er and Ni Lu prioritized my safety!
Ke Fei’er raised her Frostmourne, freezing the heels of those “abnormal beings.” Ni Lu quickly followed suit, and at the moment they were too focused on lunging at me, completely unaware of the oddity beneath their feet, they fell over—Ni Lu shot arrows, pinning them firmly to the ground!
Naturally, Ke Fe’er and Ni Lu’s actions took some time, and by the time we looked in the direction the white-haired elf had fled, her figure had already blended into the night, disappearing without a trace!
Ke Fe’er immediately shot a displeased glance at Ni Lu: “What are you doing here? I can handle the situation on my own!”
“Miss, aren’t you quite good at being stubborn? Just now, it was clearly enough for me to stay here to protect ‘Your Highness.’ It was you who let that elf escape!”
To correct the earlier statement, it seemed that Ke Fe’er and Ni Lu had no intention of accommodating each other at all!
“Stop, stop, stop, let’s not argue!”
The white-haired elf had already vanished, so you two big shots should stop blaming each other. Moreover, in the previously vague script, the phrase that just appeared was [the white-haired elf escapes]. The hindsight view is that even if Ke Fe’er and Ni Lu had continued to chase after me, they would likely have been shaken off by her. The bounty hunter’s direct power wasn’t strong, but… clearly, there were more “underhanded tactics” yet to be revealed.
Moreover, the facts are established; rather than getting entangled, it’s better to…
“Let’s first focus on the situation at hand.”
I finally managed to calm the two women down, directing my gaze towards a group not far away, many of whom had already been pinned to the ground. Even so, they were still howling in a chaotic “ah woo ah woo.” No, it would be more appropriate to call them monsters.
These “people” had sustained injuries severe enough to knock them out hundreds of times, yet they still maintained their movement, their strength surprisingly great, even managing to break free from the solid ice that had frozen them in place. As for their “brains,” they now appeared to be “brainless,” driven solely by an instinctive purpose: the thought that Mr. Lu Xun referred to as “cannibalism.”
This entire display might seem unfamiliar to Nilu and Ke Fei’er, but for someone like me, who has “traveled” here, it was all too familiar.
“Zombies?”
“Hmm?”
“Your Majesty, what did you just say?”
“Nothing. In any case, you mustn’t get too close to these people, and don’t let them bite you. In a crisis, don’t think too much; it’s perfectly fine to just take their heads off.”
I shook my head, cautiously reminding the two women. After all, I didn’t want a slip-up to turn the script into something like “My Zombie Wife.”
“The best approach is to get them into a cage or something for investigation. Besides, who knows, by the time the sun comes up, these people might turn to ash or something…”
So, should we call them zombies or “vampires”? Regardless, let’s have Lin Ke handle it; these creatures shouldn’t be seen by too many people.
“Lin Ke, hurry and call for reinforcements, get these…”
Still thinking Lin Ke was by my side, I instinctively spoke up, but a glance to the side revealed: that silly girl, not understanding the situation at all, had already moved closer to those “onlookers”!
Doesn’t she fear being treated as “prey” herself!?
“Hey!? What’s your problem!?”
“Aw! Aw woo!!”
“!?”
Forget it, Lin Ke! Do you really not fear being bitten!?
I rushed forward and pulled the dazed Lin Ke back, “Lin Ke, didn’t you hear!? Hurry and have your people bring something over to take these creatures away! A dog cage or anything will do! And by the way, the building that bounty hunter just visited needs to be completely sealed off; there might still be such creatures inside!”
I will not forget what that white-haired elf said before leaving: “big gift.” I fear that the building is now filled with “zombies” like the ones before us, just waiting for us to “unwrap” them like a gift box! It seems that this white-haired elf is far more dangerous in these peculiar matters than those “saints” like Ludwig and Urasilu, who only focus on killing one person!
“…Kefir, Nilu, you two go check the building. If you find that the people there are the same as these in front of us, don’t hesitate—just seal off the area. Freeze the main entrance too!”
After all, this elf can create a zombie scene with a single move. If she were to attack indiscriminately, the consequences would be on a national level. What’s more troublesome is that I now have to think carefully about how to deal with these “zombie-like” creatures while minimizing the impact. Just now, the script’s description of that white-haired elf has already confirmed the presence of these “zombies.”
【The white-haired elf, identified as a bounty hunter, possesses the abilities of a ‘necromancer’ and can create mindless corpses driven only by instinct.】
This description has already given her a fitting title.
Named…
【Named “Necromancer”】
