Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 382 Beware of the Witch!

"You, you're a witch!?"

This scene made Fuling's eyes widen, and she pointed at Heya in disbelief.

Now things are getting serious.

Although this assistant was a madman with no sense of propriety, he was a member of the Church of Ashes. His death by the curse was tantamount to a provocation to the entire Church of Ashes.

Fuling's eyes moved back and forth between Duan Mingyuan and Heya. She knew that Duan Mingyuan was free-spirited and unconcerned about details, but she didn't expect that he would dare to openly bring the witch onto the ecological ship of the Universal Company.

"No, I am not."

Heya waved her hand innocently. "I just reminded him of some precautions when dealing with wizards out of kindness. You just heard that he claimed to have executed 20 wizards, but it turns out that those he executed were all ordinary people. If there really were wizards among them, he would have died long ago with his style of doing things."

As he was talking, Duan Mingyuan also completed the autopsy and gained a deeper understanding of the wizard's "true damage".

No wonder even the armor of the Nagaeda Guards could not withstand the Curse-killing Technique, because this is an attack directly targeting the soul.

Although the dead assistant's body was intact, his soul had been shattered by the curse.

"But this is good news. It at least proves that there are wizards on this ecological ship."

She explained leisurely, "Although the Curse of Death is known as an evil spell that will kill, in order to meet the conditions for implementing the ritual, the wizard who casts the curse must have had close communication with the cursed person. According to this theory, everyone he met on the eco-ship could be a wizard in disguise, including you, Miss Fuling."

"You mean the person he talked to?"

Fuling asked.

Right now, she could only trust Duan Mingyuan again.

Although this person's train of thought is somewhat strange, he is definitely not a terrorist.

Even in most secular concepts, Duan Mingyuan can be considered a good person.

"That's a trick played by low-level wizards. More advanced ones can read minds to learn the identity of their targets. As long as they hide in the crowd and take a look at you, they can easily take your life."

Heya’s explanation made Fuling feel a little chilly.

She now understood more intuitively why the top executives of Universe were so afraid of wizards.

In order to maintain the company's positive image, they often need to attend meetings and activities on various planets. If there are wizards mixed in the crowd, they will die suddenly without warning.

This method of assassination was far more terrifying than any killer organization they knew.

There is no risk, no evidence will be left, and the deceased will not even know when he was hit.

Just like the assistant who is lying on the ground at this moment, he claims to be experienced and has dealt with many wizards, but his death looks no different from that of an ordinary person.

"I don't think this is good news. All the famous people in the academic world are on this ship now. If they start killing people on the eco-ship..."

Fuling didn't dare to think about it any further.

If these people died, humanity's level of life sciences would go straight into the Dark Ages.

"Don't be nervous. You are facing wizards, not a group of perverted murderers who kill anyone they see. At least they won't rush to send those people to the guillotine if they hear people talking about them."

Heya smiled slightly, "This can only mean that there is something they want on this ship."

..............................

At the same time, Jiu Yue, who got up late, washed up and went up the mountain with the "Ruihu Training Manual".

The news of Saintfield VI's death had interrupted her reunion with her parents yesterday, and now that Mr. Mingyuan was out at work, she had a whole day to spend in the mountains.

She came here with a learning attitude, and she still has a lot to learn in the field of being a good wife.

For example, how to make Mr. Mingyuan so infatuated.

Jiu Yue was not satisfied with her performance in this area. She felt that she had not fully utilized the abilities of the nine-tailed fox demon.

In the books, the humans who were obsessed with the nine-tailed fox couldn't walk when they saw them.

"Don't read those fabricated books." This is what September's mother commented on this.

She put aside the data that was obviously a rumor, saying that these were all imagined by humans, and she also arbitrarily believed that the fox demon must have used some kind of magic to control humans.

She asked Jiu Yue to sit opposite her and taught her, "These are all crooked ways. You don't need to use such tricks to live your life."

What's more, given their son-in-law's abilities, any trick to bewitch his mind would never work.

However, she felt relieved to see her daughter looking carefree.

From a parent's perspective, this missing string is an obvious sign that the child has never suffered any loss or hardship. This at least shows that their daughter's growth process has been smooth, and even now, they don't have too many worries in their hearts.

The mother looked at September with a somewhat hazy look in her eyes.

Perhaps it was Ruihu’s natural luck that had always protected Jiuyue.

At this time, my father, who had slaughtered chickens and picked wild fruits and vegetables, came into the house and said, "Instead of spending your time on these crooked ways, you might as well learn a few good dishes from me, your father. This is what your mother likes the most. When I first met her, she was indifferent, but after tasting my cooking, she came to the mountain to eat and later lived there."

They are all fox demons anyway.

There is no need to distinguish between the auspicious fox and the evil fox so clearly. Once they go up the mountain, they are one family.

"You invited me to do that!"

His mother glared at him and said angrily.

She didn't want to give the impression that she was just eating and drinking for free, which would really undermine the dignity of the fox.

"Yes, I invited you."

At this time, Jiu Yue also came back to her senses, and her emotions relaxed unconsciously.

This back-and-forth conversation is what she missed and longed for.

She secretly made up her mind that she must learn a few family dishes from her father today. That would be more meaningful than the cooking skills in the imperial kitchen, and she could also tell many stories about Ruihu.

She would tell these stories to Mr. Mingyuan at the dinner table.

Thinking of this, she followed her father's steps.

Dad took out a kitchen knife and cut the chicken skillfully. September took the initiative to help. His methodical posture made Dad nod repeatedly.

Compared to the September he remembered, his daughter had indeed grown up.

If September had entered the kitchen as a child, she would have ruined all the ingredients.

"Who taught you all this?"

Dad asked casually.

"A Jing."

"A Jing?"

The old man repeated, and then asked, "Is it a girl or a boy?"

"It's Jing!"

September emphasized, looking at her father with some confusion.

Many of her survival skills were taught to her by Ajing, and it was also Ajing who taught her how to integrate into human society and live like a normal person.

"Didn't you ask her to take care of me?"

Dad stopped what he was doing, he turned his head, and his expression suddenly became serious.

“We haven’t commissioned anyone.”

He paused, then asked, "What is the origin of the A-Jing you mentioned?"
