Chapter 173: Almost Suffering from PTSD

Chapter 173: Almost Suffering from PTSD

It was nighttime, and heavy rain nourished the dilapidated gardens of the Amber Hall.

It was late in the morning on the other side of town. Lightning illuminated the building once in a while, revealing its dilapidated appearance.

Within the gloomy building, a room was illuminated on the top floor.

Jiangli stood in front of her mirror and wrapped her naked body in a white bath towel. Her moist silver hair was coiled up, and the residual steam from the bathroom leaked into the bedroom.

Ensuring that she was alone, she took out a Tibetan anemone pendant from her bedside table and returned to the mirror. She gently undid her towel and turned her naked body around, revealing a dark sun totem on her smooth back.

She slightly frowned as she shifted the pendant, and her fingertips glowed a silvery white.

Opening her lips, she began reciting Sanskrit mantras in a low voice like an ancient ballad, and the light on her fingertips shone with intensity. In a flash, it transformed into a golden light, with vague images of lotus flowers on a pond.

Under the guidance of her power, the pendant hovered towards the ceiling, causing the chandelier above her to flicker.

Boom!

Lightning flashed outside her window, and the pendant shot towards the tattoo on her back like a shooting star.

However, the moment it was about to touch the tattoo, it seemed to hit an invisible wall, and it hovered harmlessly before Jiangli as it glowed a dazzling gold.

Jianglis body convulsed violently, and her complexion became pale. The intense pain from the impact seemed to strip her soul, but she forced herself to remain silent.

A trace of black mist overflowed from her tattoo as it merged into the pendant, and the golden light of the pendant began to dim.

The pendant soon became exhausted and fell to the ground with a loud clang. Its once shiny surface seemed to rust almost immediately.

Jiangli let out a sigh and wrapped the towel back on her body, picking up the pendant and placing it back into her bedside drawer.

Changing into a set of pyjamas, she turned on the bedside lamp and laid back on the bed with a book, and there was a sudden knock on the door.

Knock knock It was careful and soft as if whoever was knocking was afraid of disturbing whoever was inside.

Hua? Come in.

Squeak.

Hua, still dressed in her maid attire, walked in with a heavy expression.

Miss, I just received a message from the Night Division. A Level A Threat.

Do they need my help? she frowned.

Its just a routine notice.

According to the Night Division, for all alerts above Level B, all Operators within the vicinity must be ready to provide support at any time.

Did anyone go to investigate?

Yes, An Qing was on duty tonight, so she went to the scene. Judging from the situation, there wasnt too much damage, and the source of the psychic fluctuations vanished.

I see. Ill stay up and wait then, Jiangli nodded and walked over to her desk, turning on her laptop. The all-too-familiar chime of her mahjong game reverberated around the room.

If it truly was the Witch from the resort, it would have a high value.

Just as An Qing was thinking, the other three members came over with two small silver boxes in their hands.

Operator An Qing, please take a look at these items.

The moment she saw the contents of the boxes, she couldnt help but frown.

Broken black bones and bloodied rabbit fur

Ah, it looks like I have to work overtime tonight.

Miss Rabbit never wants to return to the University ever again in her life. Hell, shes reconsidering even getting close to the University at all.

She didnt expect that the little thief would become stronger and braver for every second that they fought.

It didnt surprise her that the damned Witch could cast powerful spells and curses, but what did surprise her was

After the Witch had given her monologue, she seemed to fall limply to the ground.

Miss Rabbit and the man thought they had an opportunity and lunged forward together.

However

The moment they approached her, the psychic energy scattered in the area seemed to be ignited, and with an intense vibration, a blinding light flashed in their eyes.

The terrifying energy filled both of their hearts with a strange peace, and they wanted to bow their heads before the power revealed itself to them.

Within the blinding light, a pair of eyes made of gold slowly opened as if a demonic god of lava had broken free from its shackles and gazed upon the world.

And just by looking at it, youll be burnt.

In an instant, vicious flames lashed out of the Witchs body, leaving only scorched earth wherever it licked.

Her scarlet hair fluttered behind her, and her eyes were dull and lifeless as if she were no longer controlling her own body.

Miss Rabbit and the man wanted to fight back but gave up almost immediately.

Miss Rabbits crowbars melted one after another, and the mans palm seemed to have melted off from the intense heat.

If this is her sleepwalking, what would she be like when she awakens?

Miss Rabbit and the man immediately made their retreat and ran out from the gate, and unexpectedly, the Witch trailed behind them.

The psychic energy leaking from the Witch was destructive and taunting as if it were laughing at their cowardly attempts to run away from her.

The chirping of insects would stop wherever they went, and urban legends would hide away from the intense heat; wherever they passed, there was a dead silence.

Soon, Miss Rabbit and the man found that she was no longer chasing them and breathed out a sigh of relief. Even though they were confused as to why the Witch decided to take a taxi, they could only be grateful that they were still alive.

Damn it! Miss Rabbit was cursed. I cant get the egg back and Miss Twilight is about to wake up. What am I supposed to do?

I should have just begged the Witch to take me in. I just want to be free.
