Chapter 147 Dinner
#……younger brother?
#This phone number is only for you.
#Telephone?
…
Oh no, in this world and this era, are there such things as telephones?
#It's something we two talk about in private.
I said this at last.
He gave me a look that seemed to understand.
#They have gems on their heads... and they are turning black. The one with the biggest gem has the fastest blackening.
I looked over.
It was a human being who was about two meters tall, but his face had the features of a dog or a wolf, as well as some features of other creatures, and he was wearing a hat.
His eyes were red, and he looked at me the moment I looked over.
"Little brat, are you afraid to speak anymore?"
Okay, this voice, the pervert is you?!
The way he looked at me was very familiar to me.
But it’s easy if we have gems, because if we have gems, everyone is our own.
The entire carriage was completely enclosed, and we couldn't see anything outside. Asu Yue was silent, and I didn't know what she was thinking, but her hands were indeed holding us in a protective posture. I didn't know if she wanted to protect us, or wanted to protect herself through us.
The Monster Alliance and the masked men in the red house must be cooperating - although it seems that the two are enemies. After all, the masked men look murderous, especially the one with purple eyes.
The carriage was very bumpy, and after a few hours' journey, Sawyers was already drowsy. What happened today was a little too exciting for him. Even a little monster should go to sleep.
[What about you, host? Aren't you tired?]
I?
I'm not tired.
Just because I look like a child, don’t think I’m a child, right?
I always feel that there is something else behind what the system says, but I can't figure out what the system wants to ask.
The carriage stopped, and Asuyue and Huoyol carried us and were pulled off the carriage somewhat roughly. However, during the time we were in the carriage, Sawyers told me that the tall gem was almost completely black.
——Is it his problem or mine?!
#Don't control him yet. In case there is any detection, we can't be discovered again.
I thought of the masked man. If they really had connections with this place, we two abnormal people would definitely be discovered. Then at least our specific abilities couldn't be discovered—especially Sawyers' ability to control others.
Many monsters have the ability to charm people, so it's no big deal if both of us have it. It's better to use one truth to hide another truth than to have both of us be discovered.
#I know…I feel so uncomfortable when my father hugs me.
His voice sounded a little aggrieved and a little tired.
Asu Yue didn’t feel very comfortable holding me either. These two people haven’t learned how to hold a baby in three years!
We seemed to be escorted into this three-story white house. The main hall was a luxurious hall where a small dinner party was being held. As the door opened, everyone's eyes looked over.
Humans in gorgeous clothes looked at us. There were all kinds of strange creatures around them, but these strange creatures all wore a golden collar around their necks.
This is a private dinner.
"Wow—isn't this my sister who disappeared for five years and...her little follower?"
A man who looked like the host of the party walked towards us holding a champagne glass. His blond hair was combed back meticulously. He seemed to be only in his early twenties, but his eyes did not look like those of a young man.
He smells like a monster...
He calls Asu Yue his sister, but he looks even younger than Asu Yue, and the two of them are even of different races. Asu Yue has obvious oriental ancestry, but this man looks like a complete westerner, but they still have a sense of similarity.
Asu Yue ignored him and just pursed her lips. She and Huo Yor were in a mess, and looked out of place in this bright and beautiful place.
"Is this your child?"
He set his sights on us.
"I heard an interesting rumor a few days ago," he placed the cup on the waiter's tray and wiped his hands with a handkerchief. "A pair of beautiful twins appeared in Modal Town. They are able to bewitch people—"
"The kind of charm that even the White-robed Allah of the Holy Religion cannot resist."
His eyes swept over us, finally landing on Sawyers and me.
"They are indeed beautiful children. Even I am attracted to them. The more I look at them, the more I feel that their features and eyebrows even resemble my uncle."
He reached out and picked me up from Asuyue's arms.
His hands were a little cold, and when he touched my face, I couldn't help but shiver.
Then with a "click", a golden ring was put around my neck - and instantly a feeling of powerlessness enveloped me.
"My dear nephew, this one suits you very well."
He touched my head, then threw me back into Asuyue's arms, and then put the same metal ring on Sawyers in Huoyol's arms.
"...Ansar, how could you—" Asuyue's voice was filled with disbelief, "Those are my children! How could you put pet collars on them?!"
The man touched my face and laughed out loud.
"Asu Yue, I do believe you are their mother."
He smiled and took out a small metal bottle from his arms. My eyelids jumped as I watched him casually unscrew the bottle cap and pour the liquid on Huoyol. Huoyol's exposed left hand turned black and carbonized after being touched by the liquid inside, then broke and smashed into debris on the ground. The rest of the splashing liquid had no effect on Asu Yue and Sawyers.
“Ahhhh—”
Hoyol screamed out loud and half-knelt on the ground because of the severe pain. Sawyers also broke free from his arms, but was quickly pulled back by the people next to him.
Huoyol was lying on the ground, twitching while holding his broken hand. Asu Yue seemed to be terrified when watching this scene.
"Look—this is what your two little monsters are capable of."
Asu Yue was a little overwhelmed and wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word. She could only look at the man, but the blond man was unmoved at all.
He just looked at Hoyol on the ground and smiled.
"They turned everyone in the town into this without you even knowing, and none of you noticed, not even the one who was bewitched." He looked at me.
"Even I can't let them come to my paradise like this."
He placed his hands on my neck, which honestly made me a little uncomfortable.
The neck is the vital part, but I also feel that this man will not kill me - a very strange idea, probably derived from a kind of self-confidence.
[…No, I think you’re just brave.]
I also feel that after so many worlds, I am full of courage now.
"To be honest, if the Divine Court hadn't told me that something seemed to be wrong with their Lord in White... I wouldn't have let you come back at all."
He held me in his arms and walked towards Asuyue, and put me next to Sawyers quite naturally. Sawyers also naturally held my hand.
Then the man patted Asu Yue's face.
He really likes taking pictures of people's faces. Is it true that all these evil villains like to use physical contact to express their evil?
【……】
【No, that’s not the way to understand it.】
"Ansar——" Asu Yue's expression was a little angry, and she seemed to want to rush forward, but the people who were holding her had no intention of letting her break free.
"It's okay. Now that you're back with the kids, just like you've become a good mother, I'll be a good uncle."
His eyes swept over us.
Then they took our hands, one on the left and one on the right.
"Everyone, our dinner will continue to celebrate the return of my dear nephews."
He led us to the silent crowd at the back and said, "I believe you will like my two beautiful nephews too."
I looked back at Asu Yue and Huoyol lying on the ground. They were being escorted out by the group of people. Asu Yue wanted to say something but her mouth was quickly covered.
Meanwhile, everyone here has raised their glasses again, their faces filled with indifferent smiles.
Gorgeous, grand, and extravagant.
No one cared about what had just happened.
Then Sawyers and I were placed on the sofa at the side of the banquet. We were still wearing clothes stained with dirty blood. Ansar sat next to us. On the table in front of us were various foods and drinks, as well as some things that were obviously not meant for human consumption.
He picked up a glass of wine and drank it.
"How old are you?"
No one answered him.
"You don't have to say it, but your mother may die. Your attitude determines your mother's situation."
Still no one spoke.
To be honest, I have no feelings for Asuyue, and the same goes for Sawyers.
"Very good. I like cold-blooded little monsters. After all, emotions are the most boring thing about humans."
He was not angry at all. He picked up the bread on the table and took a bite. I noticed that his mouth was obviously opened much wider than that of an ordinary human.
——So the sense of incongruity about him wasn’t just my illusion.
I thought of the human and non-human combinations that captured us. This man named Ansar seems to be one of them too?
After he finished eating the bread in his hand, he wiped his hands casually with a handkerchief, then took out a small metal tube from his clothes and pressed the button on it.
A numb feeling instantly came from the neck, and Sawyers and I both fell backwards.
The pain came and even my vision became blurred.
"See, this is the price of disobedience. I'm very good at training little monsters."
He said to us with a smile, and then shook the metal tube in front of us. I subconsciously wanted to use "This Body Turns into Thunder", but it seemed like it was suppressed, and I simply didn't have the extra strength to use it.
I was careless. It turned out to be the problem of this ring. This should be a ring that specifically suppresses the abilities of monsters, our natural enemies in this world.
It's like eating the evil fruit and being defeated by the sea and sea stone.
——I shouldn’t have let him wear it. I was too careless.
"Let me ask you again, your names, how old are you, where did Asuyue find you—and what are you?"
His tone was no longer gentle, and it hit us like a bullet.
...Once I get this ring off, I can kill him.
"...Sawyers, my brother's name is Sindra." Sawyers spoke first. I tried to turn my head to look at him. His expression was more gloomy than I had ever seen before.
How should I put it, he looks a bit angry like before.
"When we were three years old, our mother gave birth to us, and we didn't know what we were."
His speech was a little disjointed, and it seemed that this ring had as much impact on him as it did on me.
What Sawyers said was true, but he just covered up the fact that we have a tail. After all, now we will only change back when there is a full moon, and we will never change back at other times.
Ansar's eyes turned suspicious, "Asu Yue... gave birth to you?"
"My sister is my half-sister. My father and that oriental woman don't have any monster blood."
"Give birth to you two purebred little monsters?"
His hands grasped Sawyers's face and twisted his head up.
"Look at these golden eyes and this white hair... Humans don't have eyes like these."
"Mother said it was a secret technique," I said hurriedly, seeing Sawyers's expression becoming increasingly grim. "Mother gave birth to us all by herself, using the records in a manuscript."
Ansar looked over.
"Mother... doesn't love us. She gave birth to us just for revenge."
My expression was just the right amount of sad, like every child who is sad because their mother doesn't love them.
"Oh... don't be sad, dear."
Ansar's tone suddenly softened, and he came over and touched my face to comfort me.
Then I moved, and the bracelet wrapped around my wrist instantly turned into white tentacle and wrapped around his neck, strangling him tightly and twisting his head 180 degrees. At the same time, a gray shadow suddenly appeared under his feet and bit the metal pipe in his hand.
In a moment, we grabbed the metal pipe, and the bracelet Wells had previously braided with his hair became a shackle to strangle him.
Instantly, exclamations were heard all around, and then a large group of "people" like guards rushed out from the darkness.
It’s not quite right to call them human, as they all clearly have the characteristics of monsters.
For a moment Sawyers and I were completely unable to escape.
The corpse that was originally lying on the ground suddenly sat up, and the hand that was bitten off grew back. Then he reached out and twisted his head back. He sat on the ground and shook his head, looking at the bloodstains on his clothes and made a "tsk" sound with some disgust.
The look in his eyes when he looked up at us was full of surprise.
“Wow!”
"Asu Yue really gave me a big surprise."
"But misbehaving children still have to be punished."
He snapped his fingers in the air, and that familiar numb feeling returned.
——What’s going on? He clearly doesn’t have that metal pipe anymore…
"My dears, I told you that the metal ring must be a perfect deception."
"This is my ability. My 'seed' has been implanted in your bodies."
These were the last words I heard before I passed out.
