Chapter 8 — Arianna

"I thought you would ask for help~"

Probably because he wasn't monitored anymore, so it didn't hide itself, the black cat gracefully walked out of Ning Feng's shadow, jumped onto the bed and stretched itself lazily.

'You ask me why I didn't call for help?'

'Even with the strength of the Overwatch Society, they haven't discovered anything unusual about this one. I'm afraid I won't live enough to to show it's existence, and...'

Ning Feng, who was hugging his knees, squinted at the black cat that was acting like an ordinary domestic cat, and said after a moment of silence,

"If I remember correctly, last night I... should have died..."

After tacking care of the succubus, Ning Feng himself also tasted the power of the overwatch society's special potion <<Holy Flame·Change·Type 3 (level 1)>>.

As long as it is used properly, the holy flame can kill most first-order extraordinary creatures, of course, the premise is that you can make the opponent stand still with wounds all over their bodies.

"At first I thought it was treated by professional medical personnel, but Instructor Yan has never mentioned my injury."

"Based on what I know about him, although he will praise me on the surface for a good job, but for my reckless behavior, he actually doesn't support it."

"If I were to get seriously injured, he would definitely criticize me repeatedly."

Yan Rulong, although he considers himself a 'hard-blooded tough guy with a lot of emotion', he was secretly recognized by members as a 'tsundere old aunt'.

"That is to say, someone treated me before I was discovered by the support personnel, and that person..."

Ning Feng looked into the eyes of the black cat, trying to analyze something from the scarlet abyss.

The other party didn't intend to hide at all, lying lazily on the bed, the tail behind the black cat was swaying intermittently, hearing his words, she smiled and nodded at Ning Feng.

"That's right, it's me~"

Unable to understand the attitude of the other party, Ning Feng frowned a little incomprehensibly.

"...Why?"

To be honest, there are still many things that puzzle Ning Feng.

Why did he almost collapse just by looking at it?

But he knew very well that if the other party didn't want to talk about it, he didn't have the capital to press the other party at this time.

Looking at Ning Feng's serious expression, the black cat still had that lazy look, but acted surprised.

"Why? You were so burnt at the time~ Or, do you like that look? If so, I apologize to you~"

'Sigh, the conversation cannot proceed at all.'

Ning Feng tried his best not to think about what happened last night, resisting the involuntary fear that emerged in his heart, he asked another question that was bothering him,

"What did you do to me?"

Upon hearing this question, the black cat regained her spirits, turning over on the bed several times, she shyly said,

"Oh, don't make yourself sound passive, you were very active last night~"

'...Huh?'

'? ? ?'

Before Ning Feng could make senses of what was said to him, he saw the undisguised playful smile in the eyes of the black cat, and calmed down.

"Don't be too nervous, I won't eat you~ haha~"

Although Ning Feng didn't really want to admit it, he did feel a lot more relaxed under the black cat's repeated teasing.

Since the other party has been pretending to be stupid and not talking, then he didn't waste his energy, trying to think about it.

Ning Feng leaned his back completely against the door, and said to himself as if resigned to his fate.

"I understand, since you don't want to say it, then I will definitely not be able to ask it now."

And Even if the answer is obtained, there is no way to confirm the authenticity.

"But I want to know, I was not even qualified to have a conversation in your eyes before, why your attitude has changed now?"

"And..."

Putting his palm on his chest, Ning Feng felt that his chest, he frowned and asked,

"Why do I feel kindnese when I see you?"

That's right, this is another reason why Ning Feng didn't say anything.

When reporting to Yan Rulong, Ning Feng felt strangely that his shadow was very kind!

It was like seeing a long-lost relative.

Worried that something might be wrong with him, Ning Feng tried his best not to show any abnormalities and sat down. Just about to investigate, he saw the smiling blood-colored eyes in the shadows.

At that moment, Ning Feng just closed his eyes and tightly pinched his brows instead of shouting out loud.

"Kind? Hee hee, maybe it's because I'm cute! After all, who doesn't like cats?"

This time, Ning Feng didn't compromise, and tried to keep his expression unchanged, staring at the black cat quietly.

"You are really a boring man. If you care about everything, no one will like you."

"You will die alone forever!"

The black cat shook its head in remorse, raised its paw and waved at Ning Feng casually.

"Well, the explanation is a bit troublesome, so let me show you directly."

Silently, without any feeling, Ning Feng's arm A wound appeared, and the bone was deep!

Before Ning Feng could feel the pain, he saw an astonishing scene, blood slowly flowed out from the wound, but it was not the bright red it was before, but mixed with some dark colors, and... the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

'Regeneration!?'

A melodious voice sounded from the bottom of his heart at the right time, with undisguised joy.

"Since the blood in your body is burned out, I had to fill it with something else."

"But you were in a critical situation at the time, and there are no ready-made materials around, so I can only get materials locally."

Ning Feng was stunned for a moment, but soon thought of what materials were around at that time...

Ning Feng looked away from the dark blood, and his voice sounded a little dry.

"...The blood of the devil?"

"That's right! And it's the succubus'~ Are you happy?"

'Ah? WTF? You tell me clearly! What kind of demon?'

"As for why your attitude has changed? I am very optimistic about you!"

"I smell a very interesting smell in you."

Ning Feng met the scarlet eyes of the black cat, he was really unwilling to be played around as a pet all the time, he couldn't hold back after all, and said loudly,

"What are you going to do!?"

If you want to kill or cut, do it already!

As if realizing Ning Feng's seriousness, the black cat seldom calmed down, a gleam of indecipherable light flashed in its scarlet eyes, and said with a chuckle,

"What am I going to do? Well since you asked like that, then I'll just say it straight..."

Ohmm!——

A soft hum sounded in Ning Feng's heart, and a turbulent and terrifying breath was released from the black cat, letting the words he was about to say get stuck in his throat.

Above the black cat loomed an unrecognizable phantom figure, with huge bat wings on its back, and a tall and sexy figure.

On the face with indistinguishable details, there was only a pair of shining scarlet eyes similar to that of the black cat, with a charming and seductive smile hanging on the figure's lips.

The unknown being floating in the air, lowered it's head slightly, and spoke in a solemn voice, like a god issuing an oracle to mortals.

She said,

[Sign a contract with me...]

[Debut as a magical girl!]

[The world is waiting for you to save it!]

"Go away!"

Following Ning Feng's categorical refusal, the whole room fell silent.

The phantom figure did not reply, but quietly looked down at Ning Feng with a serious expression, without any movement in his eyes.

Whether it's ridicule or anger, nothing seemed exist in that bottomless red abyss, besides peace.

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Reason told Ning Feng that the best choice at this time was to forbear and compromise.

As long as I apologize and accept it, or make a joke, the current situation can actually be alleviated.

But this time, Ning Feng did not intend to do so, because he understood that blindly giving in was meaningless.

Ning Feng admitted that he was really worried about provoking such an unknown entity, and he also hoped to build a friendly relationship with it.

But this does not mean that Ning Feng likes to endure the other party's teasing.

Who would like to be teased repeatedly if it wasn't for his life?

When there is no limit to teasing, no matter how you use words to modify it, it is an insult.

Ning Feng understands his own weakness, and what he seeks is not equal qualifications, but the most basic respect.

When he realized that he couldn't even get this, he understood that it would be meaningless to continue to give in.

The terrifying pressure escaping from that figure made his muscles stiff and unable to move.

Even for the loud refusal just now, Ning Feng couldn't figure out where the strength erupted.

'It doesn't matter what kind of existence it is, at worst I'll just die.'

They continued looking at each other quietly like this, when the atmosphere gradually became stagnant, the figure suddenly let out a chuckle with unknown meaning.

After that the phantom figure floating in the air smiled, it turned into a broken shadow and reintegrated into the black cat's body.

The terrifying pressure was swept away, nothing in the room changed, and it seemed as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

But the sweat dripping from his forehead and his fast heartbeat told Ning Feng the truth of the matter.

Anger gradually rose in Ning Feng's heart, not at the black cat, but at his own weakness.

The black cat jumped off the bed, walked to Ning Feng and sat down slowly, looked at him squarely and said,

"Although your anger and self-esteem are meaningless, but sister, I don't hate children with backbone."

Uncharacteristically, The black cat's voice was no longer so charming, but became calm and soft.

"Weak kid, you have the right to know my name."

"Arianna."
