Chapter 6: Conflict

You should get a good night's sleep

Having seemingly seen enough of the rushing night scenery outside the window, Elisa sat back down in her seat

After the treatment, Ying quickly fell into a deep sleep, which was certainly related to the little hypnosis I had cast on her, as I still had the headache situation to deal with. I tiptoed into the living room, unsure whether she had given up struggling or had already fallen asleep. The heavy coffin neither emitted the earlier thudding sounds nor the frantic shouts of Elisa. I let out a bitter smile and opened the coffin lid. The young lady was lying on the silk padding, pouting angrily and glaring at me.

Hmph, you actually locked me up for a human. Just wait until I return, I will make you pay!

Hello, that human is not dead, right

Elisa retorted with a slight blush on her face

How could our noble aristocratic family possibly stoop to using something invented by lowly humans

I absolutely do not want to

I slapped her on the head, and I saw the girl covering her head, swaying left and right before squatting down again. So it turns out, for an ordinary person, this could be said to have directly caused their head to burst open. ... Speaking of which, could this impolite little brat be ...

Because she does not get along with Ying. If Ying wants to continue living here, she will leave. So it seems that I can only leave it to you to handle now

Is it so late? Are you driving up the mountain?

Before I could finish my sentence, Ying suddenly rushed in front of me, stopping me from continuing to speak

In response to my question, Elisa appeared to take it for granted

As Ying remained in a daze, gazing at her in confusion, I had already discerned the source of that energy.

The little rascal surveyed the room while complaining discontentedly, this guy truly has a terrible personality; if possible, I would really like to see what her parents look like

Unexpectedly, Elisa actually struck Ying with a palm. There was not even time to dodge, and Ying was sent flying, crashing against the wall behind m.hetushu.com, letting out a muffled groan as she fell to the ground

I will now use magic to heal you, do not move around, and do not look back

Oh? Why?

Bang!

Mr. Zhun, it is quite late. Is there something you need?

Hmph, I never expected to be assigned to such a dirty and impoverished place

What should we do next

Where are you going? Looking at Ying's determined eyes, I swallowed the words I was about to say. Seeing that I had not continued, Ying turned around, crouched down, and said to Elisa: "I’m sorry, I don’t know what made you dislike me so much. But if you really hate me, I will leave right now. I hope I haven’t caused too much trouble for you and Mr. Jun..." But if you really hate me, I will leave right now. I hope I haven’t caused too much trouble for you and Mr. Jun...

Would you like me to take you out to see the night view of this city

There is nothing much going on. I am just about to send that young lady over to you; are you prepared to receive her

But aren't you sitting right now ... ... ?

In fact, you are the same; I would also love to throw you to the roadside. However, Jack has not yet caught you, so keeping you here as a pawn is quite a good choice. Although I am unlikely to be interested in a girl so much younger than myself, there is indeed some concern mixed in. Moreover, seeing her obediently at my disposal now, compared to her previous willfulness, is indeed somewhat amusing. But I know she is not the type to obediently listen to others; one can tell from her eyes that if she were not injured at this moment, she would definitely do something.

I said, when visiting someone else's home, one should at least introduce oneself by name

The little ghost let out a reluctant sigh and then jumped out of the coffin. Facing us, she gracefully twirled her skirt with both hands, crossing her legs slightly as she performed a perfect greeting.

Then, that is ... ...

Elisa turned her head, and it was evident that she deeply disliked being with Ying.

"It hurts so much, how dare you hit me! Don't you know that I am a member of the Francois family? As a mere lower-class person, how dare you lay a hand on me"

Of course

Just as I was reveling in my own "misdeeds," Elisa's words clearly startled me. I looked up to see a dark figure standing in the middle of the road. At that moment, it was obviously too late to slow down, but if I chose to swerve, I would certainly crash into a nearby tree. The question of which was more significant—a human life or the repair bill that would confront me tomorrow—had, at this moment, reached a conclusion. I pressed the accelerator and drove straight ahead.

I am no longer using medication, as the treatment is indeed too slow. Although I am somewhat reluctant to use it, it seems that there is no other way in the current situation. I placed my right hand flat on Ying's back, and a bright red hexagonal magic circle instantly appeared on her back.

Looking at Elisa, who was proudly holding her head high, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that this was not just a matter of how difficult the future would be. With this thought, I took out my phone from my pocket and dialed the number that I only called when I was ready to complain. After a while, the call connected. Yuna's lazy voice came through.

This is truly a daunting situation

Her voice suddenly became lively, indicating that she had just fully awakened. Very well, I will let you experience the feeling of being unable to sleep due to being disturbed in the middle of the night.

Hello, it seems there is something ahead

If this continues, I do not know what she will do. I put her back in the coffin and locked it up again

This child is merely staying with me; you need not be so concerned

Hey, you! Don't go too far...

This time, you absolutely cannot escape, Jack the Ripper

I slid the car another several dozen meters before gradually slowing down to a stop. When I got out of the car, the figure was still standing in the same place, seemingly unresponsive to the surroundings. However, unlike before, beneath the cover of his black coat, a scalpel was reflecting the silvery light of the moon.

Hey! You little rascal, don't go too far!

Although this is said, it is indeed too difficult for an ordinary person like Ying to be expected to understand it

Each aberrant being is unique, and there are also those who harbor a hatred for humanity akin to that of a little demon

Although she appeared extremely reluctant, this young lady still got into the car with me. As I drove my not overly worn taxi along the mountain road, she seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasant scene from earlier. She simply leaned against the car window, gazing out with a look full of curiosity; it seems that a child is indeed just a child

You also know that the souls we bear are all legendary figures. However, not every character in their legend meets a happy ending; many souls have very tragic fates. They may have been betrayed by humans, killed by humans, or have irreconcilable enmities with humans. It is only natural that these souls, upon returning to the present world, harbor deep hatred towards humanity, so you need not take it too seriously

Hey, let me out. What did I do wrong! Hey, you guy!!

Do you not pay your respects upon encountering a noble of such esteemed status as myself

I did not expect such an incident to occur upon our first meeting; it seems this task is far from as simple as You said. I will deal with the aftermath later and walked over to Ying's side. The shoulder area of her nightgown had already soaked through with blood; it appears that Elisa's earlier strike had reopened her wound. I sighed and picked up Ying, heading towards the bedroom. No matter how much that little one in the coffin screamed and shouted, I would not pay her any mind.

It is said that you just asked Ying to move out; isn't that considered capricious?

Oh... humans can actually invent such things. I often see them on the road and have long wanted to experience one.

I grabbed the collar of Aili's shirt and lifted her up, but she seemed completely indifferent.

As she spoke, a slight devilish smile appeared on her face, and she leaned forward slightly, carefully observing me and Ying. "You are a different species... and this is... a human?" She fixed her gaze on Ying, seemingly somewhat displeased. Ying, perhaps feeling uncomfortable under her scrutiny, revealed a hint of a flustered smile. However, this little imp not only showed no appreciation but instead let out a cold snort.

That is a human; we will not extend the courtesy of etiquette to such a base entity

Even without you asking, I already know

You seem somewhat surprised

How can such a lowly being as a human mix with other species? As a being of another kind, do you not feel ashamed?

Hello, you lowly person

Hmph... well, this is also a necessary step to showcase the elegance of the François family to the common people, there is no other way.

Have you never ridden something like this

Mr. Zhun, what exactly is going on? She seems to really dislike me...

Yes, Miss...

What is this? What is it that makes you so angry? She is just a human, isn't she? Or is it that she is your outlet for frustration

Ah, you are the fool who tried to lure me with candy that day

I shrugged my shoulders helplessly

That person seemed to have no weight; when I bumped into him, I did not feel the expected impact, and I did not even hear a sound.

The formation that truly employs magic possesses a certain degree of magical power. Even ordinary individuals, upon witnessing the characters and patterns shimmering with an eerie red light, would be captivated, and the consequences of such an encounter are utterly unpredictable. While temporary blindness may be considered a mild outcome, those with fragile mental states may even experience a breakdown or resort to suicide, subsequently having their souls absorbed by the magic circle, thus becoming its sustenance.

The little girl slowly stood up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at us

To be honest, it is your words that make me feel embarrassed. I have also heard some rumors about the Francois family; they are not only a central force of the reformists but also belong to the extreme hardliners in terms of thought and ideology. It seems that this time, You has really thrown me an extraordinary task. After cursing You fiercely in my heart once again, I hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

As usual, I lit a cigarette and cast a cold glance at the guy across from me who had caused me to lose face twice

Lying on the bed, Ying was receiving my treatment while asking in confusion.

I did not expect you to come to me on your own; it seems that my efforts have indeed borne fruit

Do not come closer! Human!

It is not a problem. After all, I am just a temporary resident. If I am truly causing you and this young lady any inconvenience, I can leave immediately without any issue

I finally remembered that she was the one who had shown me the spectacle of the war between humans and vending machines that night. At the same time, I secretly blamed my own carelessness for not realizing this little one's unusual identity at that time. Perhaps it was because the scent of Jack the Ripper was too strong, which caused me to overlook it.

Nice to meet you. I am Elisa von Francis, the next heir of the illustrious Francis family with a long and storied history, and I extend my greetings to you

I suppressed my anger and made a suggestion; if it weren't for Ying staring blankly beside me, I might have directly pulled this little brat over and given him a good spanking.

The little girl covered her forehead, which I had struck, with one hand while pointing at me and scolding me with the other. Her attitude, which seemed to disregard everyone else and assert her own superiority, indeed felt somewhat familiar. However, when she finally saw my face, it seemed as if she remembered something and let out a loud cry.

The little girl shouted at us.

Ah! You are that proud little rascal from that day!

Wherever there are humans, I simply do not want to stay. Either you drive her out, or I will leave

That is because you invited me; as a lady, it is basic courtesy not to refuse a gentleman's invitation. Moreover, if I were to act willfully, it would bring disgrace to the Francesca family

I sent that guy over to You, since she is the one receiving the money, it is only right that she takes responsibility
