Haiding District. S-class residential area.
It’s the rich district of the Academy, I suppose.
In this Academy where space resources are so scarce, every building here is a standalone villa.
The value goes without saying. Annual rent starts at a minimum of ten million.
Even a Great Witch can’t afford that.
Those who live here wouldn’t dare speak up unless they own several private industrial star systems.
On a small dirt slope in the distance, Su Ling could see the entire area.
Tsk.
She looked at the standalone villas, envy filling her eyes.
Actually she had been here before—when she went to see Mrs. Thatcher, she had entered this area.
Even so, she was still extremely envious.
‘I wish I could live there someday.’
But ten million a year—just the rent—was enough to stop her in her tracks.
“Damn capital,” Su Ling muttered, curling her lip.
There was also a transparent barrier above this area.
At this late hour, it wasn’t very noticeable.
It could be said that this was the safest place in the Academy.
Yan Lin hadn’t mentioned her plan during the day, and Su Ling was too lazy to ask.
All she could do was coordinate with Yan Lin and make sure she escaped smoothly.
But she couldn’t imagine how someone as plain-looking and even socially anxious as Yan Lin could be ninety percent sure she could kill that rich brat.
—
At this moment.
Building 66, Haiding District.
It was brightly lit, and several rows of Automaton Maids stood at the entrance.
The Company’s latest combat maids, each with the strength of a Transcendent Peak.
Inside the villa, a golden-haired curly-haired girl was spraying champagne in celebration.
Champagne gushed out like a fountain, and beneath her were a group of lovely girls in school swimsuits or bikinis, their faces flushed, swaying to the music.
The alcohol soaked their swimsuits, making the already thin fabric even more transparent, enough to get one’s blood pumping.
The golden-haired curly girl threw away the champagne and jumped into the crowd below.
Immediately, peals of silvery laughter rang out.
The girl slowly reveled in this heaven-like pleasure, her rosy face filled with satisfaction.
“Too bad Ou Feini couldn’t make it.”
“Oh dear, Sister Se Lin, aren’t we enough?”
As she spoke, the big sister hugging her from behind pouted.
Se Lin, with that pair of massive assets on top, revealed a foolish grin.
“Of course they’re enough, but it would be even better if Ou Feini came~”
Thinking of Ou Feini’s voluptuous figure in her nun’s habit, Se Lin felt like she was drooling.
Unfortunately, that Ou Feini was a devout follower of the Church of Hope.
No matter how much money she threw at her, the other remained unmoved.
If it ended there, fine, but what infuriated her was that that girl seemed to have taken a liking to some poor wretch.
What did that mean?
Didn’t she like money?
She only liked poor people?
If Ou Feini didn’t make her happy, then someone else had to suffer.
Last night, she drove a limited-edition sports car from the Witch Empire and, having learned in advance which road that guy would take, she rammed into him hard.
Tsk, you have to admit, that guy’s body was tough—even at ten times the speed of sound, she didn’t turn him into paste, just seriously injured him.
But that was enough. She paid a little pocket money and drove off in style.
Hmph, she had seen plenty of these poor people.
They might even be grateful for her magnanimity right now.
Thinking this, a flicker of contempt passed through Se Lin’s drunken eyes.
She staggered to her feet.
She was uneducated and useless, just an ordinary witch who couldn’t even use a single spell.
A little alcohol and she was already dizzy.
The only reason she could attend the Witch Academy was that her wealthy mother had spent a lot of money to buy several recommendation letters from Great Witches.
As for the three-hundred-point rule, that was nothing.
She just gave some poor fool a million to take the exam for her, and her mother greased the wheels everywhere.
It was effortless.
Fate was so unfair.
But who told her to draw such a good lot on the Path of Reincarnation?
Se Lin, supported by a crowd of busty young ladies, headed to the bedroom.
“Mm, pillow…”
The older sisters exchanged glances.
“Fine, fine. I’ll take tonight.”
One of them, a tall big sister nearly six feet tall in a white swimsuit, sighed helplessly.
Se Lin needed to hold one of them to sleep every night—her so-called “pillow.”
Hearing this, the remaining girls were delighted.
They hadn’t finished playing yet.
Closing the door, the big sister untied her alcohol-soaked swimsuit, and the room was suddenly filled with spring colors.
She held Se Lin, who instinctively burrowed into her chest, making the big sister’s face flush.
Sigh.
Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.
But the pay was just too good.
Not just her—all those girls earlier actually didn’t like Se Lin.
But they had no choice.
The pay was simply too good.
They had to make a living too.
Listening to the faint noise from outside, the big sister gradually grew drowsy.
She held Se Lin, her head feeling heavy.
Just then.
Boom!
A loud crash.
The big sister’s eyes snapped open.
Before she could react, a wave of scorching heat blasted from behind.
She quickly sat up. Behind her, the wall had a huge hole.
Dust flew, and a hot blue glow rolled in.
The bricks at the edge of the hole were melted into red-hot lava.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Se Lin in her arms was still in a daze.
“What’s happening…”
“Miss, look out!” A scream.
The next moment, Se Lin felt as if a scorching hot iron claw had grabbed her by the neck.
Crack! In the noisy environment, the sound of bones crushing was unmistakable.
“Aaaah!”
The big sister was terrified, tears streaming down her face.
Then, a ball rolled to her feet.
She looked closely.
It was Se Lin’s head, already charred and giving off a burnt smell.
Even at the last moment, Se Lin had been asleep.
The big sister felt like her scalp was going to fly off.
She forgot to scream.
She instinctively looked toward the smoke and dust.
But the night was too dark and full of dust, so she couldn’t make out the intruder’s figure.
In a daze, she saw a cheap-looking mask, like one a grade-schooler would cut out of cardboard.
But the next moment, the big sister’s pupils contracted, and her voluptuous body curled up on the bed, trembling.
The murderer looked over at her. She saw a pair of blazing eyes, like two suns in the darkness, looking toward her.
“Enemy attack!”
“Damn it, who is it?”
Two furious voices came from above.
The big sister knew it was Se Lin’s two Great Witch bodyguards.
These two Great Witch bodyguards were arranged by Se Lin’s mother.
But Se Lin disliked them.
Every time she had a party, the two Great Witches would lecture her, which annoyed Se Lin greatly.
So every time she had a party, Se Lin would send them away.
Originally, these two Great Witches didn’t want to leave Se Lin, but Se Lin had bought a large batch of the Company’s latest battle maids, forming an army around her villa, which made the two a little more at ease.
Realizing this, the big sister then wondered: Where were those battle maids?
Why was there no sound from them?
The murderer glanced at her indifferently, then melted into the dust and smoke.
Just then, the door was slammed open.
The girls who had been partying rushed in, clothes disheveled.
Seeing the scene, especially Se Lin’s body, they turned pale with fear.
“Miss!”
At that moment, the roof was torn open.
Two figures descended from the sky, shattering the floor.
One in black, one in white, they looked very similar.
Yi Fulin and Yi Funa. Sisters, the two Great Witch bodyguards of Se Lin.
Yi Fulin, with black hair, saw Se Lin’s body and blacked out for a moment.
It was over.
Their lady had been decapitated right under their noses.
What about Madam…?
A chill ran down Yi Fulin’s spine.
At the same time, a towering rage surged.
This was an insult!
“Extraordinary, Sequence [Blaze].”
In contrast, the younger sister Yi Funa quickly calmed down.
She rapidly analyzed the scene, her pale eyes narrowed, then she instantly shot into the air.
“There! She hasn’t gotten far!”
“Looking for death!”
Yi Fulin roared.
In her anger, she tore open a Space Rift.
At this moment, she didn’t care about the damn Academy rules.
“Wait!”
Yi Funa was shocked.
For a Great Witch to tear open a Space Rift in the Academy’s residential area was a major taboo.
Sure enough, the next moment, blood-red heavenly thunder rolled in the distant sky.
That was the Academy’s patrolling Yaoling, [Chelei].
Yi Funa hesitated for a moment but couldn’t care about that.
Violating Academy rules would only get them locked up in Ice Fiend Peak, but if they couldn’t catch the killer, they might not even be able to keep their lives.
Huff! Huff! Hot breath kept heaving.
Yan Lin suddenly felt a pang of palpitation.
She quickly dodged to the side.
But the next moment, a black Space Rift was violently torn open.
One of her hands was thrown high into the air.
The excruciating pain nearly made her faint, but she remained very clear-headed.
In the blink of an eye, she formed a seal with her remaining hand.
“Burn!”
The severed hand that hadn’t yet fallen immediately burst into flames, turning to ashes in an instant.
She couldn’t leave the hand behind.
Those people would surely trace her through the genes on the leftover hand.
“Good guts!”
Yi Fulin’s roar followed.
Immediately, an oppressive aura like the sky falling filled the entire world.
Yan Lin’s legs gave way, and her bones cracked audibly.
Great Witch…
Yan Lin looked up at the sky, the blazing eyes reflecting the figures in black and white.
