It's late at night.

Katie did not go home, but lived with Kurumi and Kuang San. Although she was very tempted by Kurumi's invitation to become a mercenary, Katie was still a little hesitant. And it was precisely because of her hesitation that Katie did not return to the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce immediately.

But Katie was still very sad at this moment.

She has never succeeded in anything she does since she was a child. It is not because Katie does not work hard or is not smart, but because she is unlucky. Katie once spent a long time looking up a lot of information and books, and finally wrote a report required by the teacher. However, what she did not expect was that it suddenly rained heavily the next day after she handed in the report, and the teacher's window happened to be left open, so her report was soaked by the rain. When the teacher came to school the next day, Katie's name could not even be seen clearly in the report.

When Katie was little, she had learned many skills like other noble ladies, such as painting, dancing and even music. She tried hard to complete each one, but every time she had problems at the end.

The graduation painting she drew was torn into pieces by wild dogs, she accidentally fell and sprained her foot during the final dance, and she accidentally broke the string of her violin while playing...

For Katie, this is all business as usual.

Sometimes, even when Katie was eating, she would have accidents for various reasons. For example, when she was halfway through her meal, a wild cat suddenly jumped out from outside and scared her so much that she knocked over the plate. Or, she might suddenly feel sick in her stomach.

She has been like this since she was a child, and because of this, Katie has long been accustomed to her unfortunate life.

She even felt that her father disliked her because she was so unlucky.

But Katie was not willing to give up. She had only succeeded twice in her life. One was the previous professional qualification certification assessment. That was the first time Katie felt the joy of successfully completing a task since she was born. The other time was this business trip.

This was not the first time her father asked her to go into business, but Katie failed every time before, and this time... she succeeded.

But just when Katie thought her father would be happy about her success, she didn't expect that her father would be so angry.

Katie didn't know why her father was unhappy, but she felt very wronged. After all, Katie was just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. Of course, in the main world, fifteen years old was considered an adult and she could go out to work, but a person's mind obviously would not change because of this, not to mention that Katie's experience made it completely impossible for her to remain strong.

If you remain unmoved when encountering such a thing, then you are a heartless robot.

But fortunately, he has Kurumi and Kurumi to support him.

Although Katie and Walnut and the others have only known each other for a short time, to be honest, the accidents they have encountered together are more than many teams will encounter in their entire lives. In Hollywood movies, by the end of such a movie, the men and women can hug each other and roll into bed.

In fact, Katie is sleeping in the same bed with Walnut now.

Walnut didn't seem to take today's events to heart. After comforting Katie for a while, she fell asleep first. Katie, on the other side, couldn't fall asleep.

The scene of her father kicking her out of the Chamber of Commerce today was a huge blow to Katie. If she failed, it wouldn't be surprising if her father kicked her out in anger. But what Katie couldn't understand was that she had finally succeeded, why was her father so angry that he even wanted to kick her out of the Chamber of Commerce?

Should I have never been born? Maybe it would be better if I didn't exist?

If it weren't for Kurumi and Kurumi by her side, Katie would have collapsed by now.

Thinking of this, Katie's eyes turned red again. She quickly closed her eyes and forced herself not to think about these things.

However, at this moment, Katie suddenly felt a strange chill suddenly appear.

What?

Katie suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the cold air. Then, she widened her eyes in surprise.

In the air in front of Katie, a strange figure seemed to appear and disappear. Its eyes were dark and its mouth was open, letting out a silent cry.

Is it the undead?!

Katie was also shocked when she saw the undead suddenly appearing in front of her. She had never seen the undead before, and generally speaking, the undead would only appear in places where there were few people. But why would the undead appear here?

“Ooooo…!”

Looking at the undead in front of her, Katie instinctively wanted to scream, but when she opened her mouth no sound came out. Not only that, when the undead appeared, Katie found that her body seemed to be frozen from the inside out and she couldn't move at all.

“No…don’t…”

Katie gritted her teeth and struggled desperately, but her body seemed to no longer belong to her, and no matter how hard Katie tried, she could not move. She could only watch the undead slowly approach her, reach out his hand, and hold her in his arms.

The biting cold was so intense that Katie even felt her soul was beginning to freeze. Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and the dark shadow of death began to gradually cover the girl's body.

Am I going to die like this?

Thinking of this, Katie suddenly found it a little ridiculous. After all, this had always been her destiny. Otherwise, why didn't it come earlier or later, but just when she decided to accept Sister Walnut's invitation to become a mercenary, an undead came and wanted to kill her?

I might as well just die. Living is too tiring after all. I have been unlucky all my life, and I have also caused trouble for others. Maybe it is better for people like me to die earlier.

Thinking of this, Katie gave up struggling and slowly closed her eyes.

But for some reason, at this moment, Katie suddenly thought of someone, someone she had never seen before. She opened her mouth slightly and called out softly.

"Mother……"

However, at this moment, the dark shadow that was holding Katie tightly suddenly hesitated. At the same time, Katie's body that was controlled by the undead regained its freedom and fell heavily to the ground.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing the noise beside her, Hu Tao hurriedly opened her eyes. When she saw Katie and the floating ghost not far away, she was also shocked.

"Where did this undead ghost come from? Get away from me!"

With a roar, Walnut grabbed the shovel at hand and chopped at the undead floating in the air.

By the way, Walnut usually sleeps with a shovel in his arms.

If it was an ordinary shovel, it would definitely not be able to cause damage to the undead. But Walnut's shovel was not an ordinary shovel. Not only was it scientifically enhanced by Nymph, but it was also unscientifically enhanced by Fang Zheng. Especially for monsters like undead creatures that ordinary weapons could not cause damage to, and that were easily encountered by mercenaries, Fang Zheng would definitely take this into consideration.

Of course, Fang Zheng couldn't possibly be so ruthless as to enchant Hu Tao's shovel with a Sunburst, but it would be no problem to enchant an elemental strike.

Walnut's shovel fell from the air and hit the undead's body. The next moment, the shovel that looked extremely simple in appearance instantly burst into colorful magical light. The undead was hurt by the magic, and he screamed and hurriedly retreated.

However, at this moment, Kuang San had unknowingly stood behind the undead.

"Emperor Keke, Bullet of Seven!"

"Bang!"

The magic bullet containing the magic power of time was shot out instantly and hit the body of the undead. The next moment, the undead's movements stopped immediately, and Walnut seized the opportunity and chopped it into the chest of the undead with a shovel.

“——!!”

Deafening screams rang out, and the wails of the undead erupted instantly, causing everyone to step back involuntarily. For a moment, the entire room was surrounded by negative energy and filled with black fog.

And then, a translucent figure appeared in front of the three people.

It was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She looked about 70% similar to Katie, or in other words, she looked no different from Katie when she grew up. The woman raised her head, with a painful expression, and stretched out her hand to Katie.

"Child... my child..."

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the woman's call.
