Chapter 364 - 364 I'm Taking This Witch

364 I’m Taking This Witch

“As you know, the Lord is very old and places great importance on tradition.

“To him, it’s all a ritual adhering to age-old traditions. He’s to become the Zombie Monarch, and then be one with the witch during the ceremony.

“Only by taking those steps could he be a God respected by tens of thousands of people.

“Let’s just listen to him. Don’t think too much of it.

“Alright, go and arrange the guards. We need to be extra vigilant,” Yagyu ordered.

“Understood, Master Yagyu.”

After the two of them finished speaking, they left the back of the hall together.

Yuya, who was crawling on the ground, covered her mouth tightly. Her body could not help but tremble.

It was terrifying!

This was simply too terrifying!

She didn’t expect these people to lock her up for such a reason…

After the apocalypse, Yuya discovered that she had a terrifying power.

Anyone who got close to her would quickly turn into a zombie.

Even Awakened Ones would turn into zombies in her vicinity.

Back then, many people had wanted to execute Yuya.

However, Yagyu came forward to protect Yuya.

Yuya had been very indebted to him since then.

Even though she knew that she would have to sacrifice herself to the heavenly gods during the ceremony, she did not have any complaints.

Originally, Yuya had thought that they had locked her up here so that she would not hurt anyone else.

She had not expected to be offered up to a Zombie Monarch!

Yuya’s eyes turned red.

“No, I can’t stay here any longer…

“I have to escape!”

Yuya made her decision quickly.

If she stayed here, she would definitely end up as a…

She had to leave!

Yuya looked around carefully. After making sure that no one was around, she crawled out quietly.

There were no guards at the back of the hall, so Yuya easily escaped to the back of the mountain.

Yuya was extremely cautious along the way.

After avoiding a few waves of patrolling guards, Yuya finally arrived at the stairs leading down the mountain.

As long as she went down the stairs, she would be able to escape.

Yuya did not know where she could go, but it was better to escape than to be sent to some old Zombie Monarch.

“Ah…”

Yuya’s foot slipped, and she fell to the ground.

“It’s bleeding…”

Yuya looked at the sole of her foot.

In order to keep quiet, she had long since thrown her wooden sandals aside, so she only had a pair of white socks to protect her delicate feet.

“No, I can’t stop. They’ll chase after me when they realize I’m gone!

“I have to fight through this…”

Yuya dragged her injured leg and moved down step by step.

She was far slower than before.

However, as long as she made it to the foot of the mountain before they discovered her, she could find a car and make her escape.

Yuya was anxious. She accidentally stepped on a rock with her uninjured foot.

“Ah…”

Yuya twisted her ankle and rolled down the stairs.

After rolling down a dozen steps, Yuya finally stopped.

“It hurts…”

Yuya rubbed her head.

Fortunately, she was a rank-three Awakened One, so she only suffered minor bruises.

When she looked up, Yuya was stunned!

A man was squatting in front of her and sizing her up.

“You! Stay back!”

Yuya immediately shrank back.

Her powers would destroy innocent bystanders.

She didn’t want to get the innocent caught up.

“That was quite theatrical.

“You rolled to me on your own. I didn’t have any intention of touching you.”

It was Wang Ran.

Wang Ran was eating the snacks that he had gathered at the foot of the mountain as he leisurely walked up the mountain.

He didn’t expect a beautiful girl to roll to his feet when he was halfway there.

“No… I didn’t mean it that way…

“Anyone who gets close to me will have bad luck,” Yuya explained softly.

In the beginning, Yuya had thought that she had been cursed, but she later found out that it had something to do with a virus.

“What era is this? Bad luck?

“It’s the era of science.

“By the way, where am I?” Wang Ran asked.

“You’re close to a shrine, but…

“What are you doing there?

“It’s not the time for sightseeing anymore.”

Yuya took a glance. Wang Ran was wearing a straw hat, had binoculars around his neck, and was holding snacks in his hand.

He looked like a tourist.

“Hey, one moment…

“You’re a shrine priestess, aren’t you?

“Do you know a person called…”

“Hey, what’s her name again? I seem to have forgotten to ask…”

Wang Ran scratched his head.

He only knew that she was Genta’s sister, but he did not know her name…

It was awkward.

“Sigh, I can’t chat with you anymore.

“Someone’s trying to catch me. I have to run.”

Yuya made a big circle around Wang Ran, afraid that she would infect him with the virus.

At that moment, the sound of dense footsteps came from the stairs up the mountain.

Yagyu was leading more than a dozen people after her.

“Yuya Mikami!

“You dare to escape?

“Do you know how much harm you will cause to this world if you run out?!”

Yagyu, who was wearing a gas mask, reprimanded her sternly.

Yuya trembled. He caught up so quickly?

Her foot was injured, and it looked like it would be difficult to run away.

“Hmph! I found out why you locked me up!

“You locked me up just to send me to some old zombie!

“Don’t pretend to be a Saint!” Yuya shouted angrily.

“You found out?

“Well, too late for that now!

“The ceremony is in two days’ time. Just sit tight and be a good girl.”

Yagyu dropped all pretenses.

Wang Ran finally understood what was happening.

This priestess was Genta’s sister.

These people in protective suits and gas masks wanted to capture her and give her to an old Zombie Monarch.

This made things simple. He would just take this girl and leave.

It was a pity. Wang Ran had originally planned to go to the top of the mountain to admire the temple.

“You guys, buzz off.”

“I’ll be taking this girl,” Wang Ran said as he walked toward Yuya.

Yuya was a little confused by Wang Ran’s words and forgot to avoid his touch.
