Chapter 69 It’s a pity—— No, who has offended her again! …

Teleportation array...how is that possible?

Magic shouldn't exist in this world, and... this feels like the magic of vampires!

Feeling the familiar magical fluctuations, someone's figure immediately flashed through Cecia's mind.

Could it be that he is not affected by the copy and can still use magic?

The seeds of doubt were planted in her heart, but now time was running out and the end of the copy was getting closer and closer, so she had no time to explore more.

A strong sense of uneasiness surged over her like a tide. The flashing light on the electronic map became her only hope. She stared at the map closely, trying to find the trace of the teddy bear.

Turn right - next corner - turn left -

Getting close!

Cecia ran all the way, her breathing becoming more and more rapid. The world around her seemed to be completely still, with only the violent heartbeat and footsteps left.

Finally, with one minute left on the clock, she and the teddy bear overlapped again.

Faced with the closed door in front of her, Cecilia did not hesitate for a moment. She took a deep breath and slammed into it with her body like a wild beast ready to go.

Bang——

With a loud bang, the wooden door fell down.

There was no light in the room. The heavy curtains blocked the light from outside. The only source of light was a candle lit in the middle, through which only a dark shadow could be vaguely seen.

“You’re here.”

A deep voice sounded in the darkness, with a tone of expectation, "I know you will come."

The other person's figure was looming in the dim light. He took a few steps forward, closer to the candle, and could barely see that he was holding a furry little thing in his hand.

“Let it go!”

She said sternly, holding the axe in her right hand, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

"It's really sad. Is it so important to you?... Hill, you have changed a lot. You didn't care about the life or death of such things before."

The dark shadow laughed softly and shook the poor "hostage" in his hand.

"Boris, are children's tricks fun?"

Cecia's voice revealed a chill, but she did not rush forward.

The more times like this happened, the calmer she became. Her brain worked at high speed, analyzing the possibility of rescuing the teddy bear.

To be honest, she wanted to rush forward and tear the madman to pieces regardless of everything, but she could feel the surging magic fluctuations from his body - she was no match for Boris now.

Delaying time is the best solution at present.

After the dungeon is over, everyone will return to the real world and their positions will be disrupted. By then, she will have restored her magic, and with the help of the demons, she will definitely be the first to find the teddy bear!

"You recognized me?"

Hearing his name, Boris seemed a little excited. He took two steps forward, his whole body was within the range of the candle, and his gray-blue eyes stared straight at Cecia.

"I thought you would always treat me as someone else."

He spoke excitedly, but Cecilia's attention was all on his hands - the teddy bear he was holding was covered in scars and was already dying.

"The foul smell of blood on you is really impressive."

Cecilia deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last few words and counted down silently in her mind.

Ten, nine, eight...

"Hill, do you think I didn't notice?"

Boris pulled up a smile and said in a creepy voice, "You're stalling for time, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Cecilia's heart suddenly tightened. She instinctively kicked back, and her tense body burst out with amazing strength, rushing towards the other party at the fastest speed.

“I’m sorry—”

Boris raised his right hand, holding a pair of scissors that were shining with cold light. With a gentle smile on his face, he pointed them at the fragile neck of the teddy bear.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and time became unusually slow. She felt as if she was wrapped in a sticky liquid, unable to break free no matter how hard she tried, as if she had returned to that red night...

Click.

A clear and decisive sound foreshadowed the demise of something. The teddy bear's neck was completely cut off, and its head fell down powerlessly, rolling on the cold ground, with pain and despair still remaining in its dark eyes.

At the same time, the countdown to leaving the copy ends.

Cecilia's body, which was rushing forward, suddenly stopped, as if bound by invisible chains. A strong feeling of dizziness came over her, drowning her in endless darkness.

The scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred, and a low buzzing sound echoed in her ears, followed by an emotionless mechanical sound.

[Leaving the instance, settlement is in progress...]

[It is detected that the copy "Abnormal Love" has been cleared, and rewards are being issued to you...]

A series of system notification sounds lingered in her ears, but Cecilia's mind was in a mess and she couldn't hear what was being announced at all.

"I'm sorry."

The scene of the teddy bear's death and Boris's disgusting voice replayed in her mind over and over again, and an unprecedented rage filled her heart.

Boris had no grudge against the teddy bear, this was his provocation to her -

After killing her parents, he still jokingly killed her companions in front of her, as if mocking her incompetence.

"…Cheshia, are you okay?"

Looking at Cecia with a gloomy face, Kai from the giant tribe scratched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Although several days and nights passed in the copy, only a few seconds passed in the real world.

From Kai's perspective, Cecia said she had something to discuss with him and grabbed his arm, but she suddenly disappeared from the spot and he did not feel any magical fluctuations.

He was confused and was about to find a demon to ask, but Cecia suddenly appeared again, her face turned very bad, as if someone had angered her in just a few seconds.

"I'm fine—I've never been better."

Cecia sneered, almost squeezing the words out from the depths of her throat.

No, who pissed her off again!

Meeting his murderous eyes, the robust Kai shuddered and felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. He also did not want to pursue the matter of the other party teasing him and suddenly disappearing.

"Since you have nothing to do, then... I'll leave first."

A kind look appeared on his young face, making him look even more innocent. Kai quietly stepped back, intending to leave this place of trouble.

"etc."

His arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the painful feeling like being clamped by a pair of pliers forced him to stop.

"What happened again?"

Kai asked with tears in his eyes. He was obviously at least two meters tall, but he stayed beside Cecilia like a well-behaved chick.

"Catch someone before you go."

Cecia said as she dragged Kai out, "He's a vampire, so it should be easy for you to find him."

"The vampires have invaded the demons? How come I didn't know..."

Kai grumbled in dissatisfaction, but followed her obediently, asking, "What are the characteristics of the other party?"

"He looks very similar to the leader of the vampires. You should have seen him."

Cecia said, and quickly summoned the patrol team and ordered them to search carefully. In the demon territory, the last thing she lacked was manpower.

"Er..."

Kai was embarrassed when he heard this. He was not good at remembering faces. After meeting Cecia, he was tricked countless times and was forced to remember her appearance.

"Silver hair, gray-blue eyes... and a nasty smell of blood."

Seeing through Kai's thoughts, Cecia described patiently. She stroked the axe blade with her fingertips and whispered, "As long as you find him, I will give you a great gift."

"That's not necessary! Just let me leave in peace."

Kai quickly declined. In his opinion, the "big gift" that Cecia mentioned was definitely not a good thing.

"besides."

Cecia hesitated, but still said, "If you see a moving teddy bear, protect it as much as possible and bring it back."

"A teddy bear? The magical creation you studied?"

"No, there is no magical fluctuation on it."

Although he didn't understand what the creature was, Kai nodded in agreement.

The two sides split into two groups and searched the demon territory. Cecia mobilized all the idle demons in the territory, and almost everyone was involved in the search, leaving no corner untouched.

Soon, the search made progress.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Found it!"

A demon in armor hurried back, shouting loudly while staggering towards Cecia, fearing that the message would be conveyed a second late.

"Who was found?"

Cecia withdrew the magic power she had used to search and stared at the demon who came to report.

"Blood clan! The patrol team found the blood clan that Your Highness mentioned!"
