I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"Okay, then this important task will be handed over to you."

Patting Arcana's shoulder, Eve fell directly on the bed. She couldn't take it anymore. She had just been ravaged too badly by Melchis and she needed to rest.

"Ah, the hero has escaped."

"Let me rest for a while, then I'll take over Tina's shift."

Eve replied without even raising her head, and then fell into autism again.

By the end of the day, the number of dead people lying on the beds had increased to three. Eve, Istina, and Arcana were all declared dead. Only Ilvia, who did not participate, escaped. Melchis was finally attracted by Eve's new Rubik's Cube and let them go.

This day's card game was pure torture. How could anyone go a whole day without losing a single hand? How could that be possible? How could that even be possible?!

In short, I'm tired. Next time I play cards, I'd better not bring Sissy with me. They can just play each other like losers. Otherwise, it will hurt their self-esteem.

"Lord Brave..."

Istina's burning voice came from beside her.

"Next time, let's not play cards with Shizu..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Arcana, who also looked a little haggard, followed up weakly.

"Don't worry... She definitely won't do that again. Let her play some educational games later..."

But could Eve's nightmare be over so soon?

Of course, that's impossible.

"Eve! Everything has been solved!"

As she spoke, Melchis placed the ten Rubik's Cubes in her hand in front of Eve one by one.

"..."

Help!

Why can some people solve the Rubik's Cube by themselves the first time they come into contact with it?

By the way, in the end, Eve successfully suppressed Melchis by increasing the level of magic. She was still more skilled.

§ 71 The Haunted Forest (I)

"Hey, have you heard that someone said they saw a ghost in the nearby woods at night?"

In the restaurant, two elf girls were sitting at a table near Eve and the others, discussing the latest rumors.

"A ghost? How is that possible? Was that person mistaken?"

Looking at her friend's serious description, the elf girl waved her hand casually, looking completely unconvinced.

After all, a long period of research has proven that there are no ghosts or monsters on this continent. However, some magic can produce similar effects, so the news of encountering ghosts is basically regarded as rumors.

"This time it's different!"

As she spoke, the elf girl grabbed her companion's hands.

"I heard that Deli and the others are already investigating this matter. If this is completely groundless, then we can't just send the guards to investigate, right?"

“That being said, it is indeed…”

Upon hearing the news that the guards were dispatched, the other elf girl nodded, somewhat agreeing with her friend's opinion.

"So can we go and have a look at it in the evening?"

咚

"no!"

With a knife move, the elf girl silently rejected her companion's proposal.

"Hey, have you forgotten that besides the possibility of ghosts, there's also the possibility of Warcraft causing trouble? I remember you excitedly dragged me along to investigate, and then..."

"Ahhh, Lyle, stop it. That, that was just an accident."

Before Lyle could finish her words, she was interrupted by her flustered companions. It seemed that something embarrassing had happened.

"Then hurry up and eat, don't think about those ghosts or anything like that. And, come stay at my house tonight, and don't think about sneaking out to investigate at night."

"Eh--!!!"

Judging from her reaction, this elf girl was completely controlled by the other party.

However, the conversation between them did arouse Melissa's interest.

"Eve, should we go check it out too? Ghosts sound interesting."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with going and taking a look. Just don't get your hopes up too much, Shizu."

After a little thought, Eve agreed to Melchis's suggestion. After all, she was curious about all kinds of things and it was inevitable that she wanted to go and take a look.

After she suddenly fell seriously ill for one night and recovered, Melchis gained a lot of knowledge. The attribute of asking a hundred thousand questions disappeared, and was replaced by the attribute of a curious baby. She wanted to try anything new she saw.

Eve also asked her the reason. In her words, she only had the knowledge, but still wanted to experience it for herself. To describe it, it was probably the difference between watching and experiencing it personally.

Since it wasn't a big deal, Eve basically just let her do what she wanted.

However, when Istina heard that they were going to investigate the ghost rumors, her face turned pale.

"Yong-Yao, um, can we not go?"

"Eh? Tina, are you afraid of ghosts? Don't worry, there are no such things as ghosts in this world."

Seeing Istina like this, Eve also showed a surprised expression. She really didn't know that Tina was afraid of ghosts, which only existed in rumors.

I'm fine camping in the woods, but I'm afraid of ghost stories. It feels weird.

"Even if the hero says so..."

After hearing what Eve said, Istina showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, but before she could figure out how to refuse Melchis, she made a pitiful expression and looked at her and asked.

"Can't we go together?"

"Okay, okay, let's go check it out together tonight."

Seeing Sis's expression, Istina softened her heart and subconsciously agreed. It was only the next second that she realized what she had just said, but it was too late.

"Great!"

"Okay, Tina, if you're scared, just hold me tight tonight and nothing will happen."

Seeing Istina's bitter face, Eve leaned over to comfort her.

"Uh-huh."

Just like that, despite one person's extreme reluctance, the Night Ghost Exploration Team was established!

After dinner, Eve and her friends wandered around the streets for a while and collected a lot of information.

The place where the ghost rumors appeared was in the forest not far from the city. There was nothing unusual there before. The cause of the incident was that someone reported seeing an unidentified figure in the forest at night, but when they got closer, there was nothing. In the following days, people also made similar reports. The specific time was different but they were all at night.

Since there were so many people and the contents of the reports coincided with each other, the guards took it seriously and began to investigate.

But strangely enough, the investigation has been going on for two days, but they have not found any clues at all, so the guards have suspended the investigation tonight and are ready to see if the same situation will happen again in the future.

By the way, after hearing that the abnormal situation had disappeared, Istina was obviously relieved.

"A figure you can see in the distance but disappears as you get closer? That's a pretty common ghost story, isn't it?"

Before leaving, after listening to all versions of the rumors, Eve and the others were making their final summary.

"This is probably the friendliest kind of ghost story. The scarier ones are the ones where things float and change positions in the blink of an eye. I've even heard of kitchen knives flying everywhere."

"Hey! Stop it, brave hero!"

After hearing Eve's casual description, Istina shuddered.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. Would it make Tina feel better if I could explain the reasons behind these things? The things I mentioned above were basically caused by humans or monsters, so ghosts don't exist."

"Uh-huh."

After listening to Eve's explanation, Istina's complexion improved a little, but it was still a little pale. After all, she really had no way to deal with ghosts.

Reason tells you that this thing does not exist, but it is difficult to get over the emotional barrier.

Just like the high-energy warning in horror movies, even if you know it in advance and are mentally prepared, you will still be scared.

"Anyway, since Shizu wants to go and take a look, let's go. But considering Tina is so scared, how about we just take a look around and come back?"

Eve said as she looked at Melchis beside her.

After all, the rumored ghost had not appeared for several days after the guards conducted an investigation, and their trip would most likely be in vain. Considering that Istina was so scared, Eve did not plan to stay there overnight.

"Ok!"

With Melchis's consent, the ghost rumor investigation team left the town and headed towards the legendary forest.

As for whether they will encounter the rumored ghost, stay tuned for the next episode to find out!

§ 72 The Haunted Forest (Part 2)

In the dark forest, Eve and her group had now arrived near the area where the ghost rumors were spread.

Although everything around her was no different from when she camped in the Elf Forest in the past, Istina always felt that there was a pair of eyes quietly staring at her in the darkness tonight.

"Hmm... This is it. We can still see traces of the guards left behind."

After pulling Istina to check the tree trunk nearby, Eve successfully found the mark made by the guards, which meant they found the right place.

"Gulu."

When Istina heard Eve say this, her face suddenly became stiff and she swallowed her saliva.

"Master, Master Brave, otherwise we should just go back."

While holding Eve's hand tightly, Istina suggested with a trembling voice.

By the way, the strength in Istina's hands was ridiculously great at this time. This was because Eve had activated her magic to strengthen her body. Otherwise, if it were someone else, a comminuted fracture in the palm would be the least of their worries. They might have performed a physical version of their signature trick.

"Okay, I'm just going to go in for a quick look and then come out. It would be more scary if I go back without investigating thoroughly, wouldn't it?"

After all, the unknown is the most terrifying thing. Once a person enters a state of scaring himself, he will find something wrong with everything he sees.

"Okay, that seems to be the case. Then, let's go and come back quickly."

After thinking about the possibility that she would have wild thoughts after returning, Istina finally suppressed the fear in her heart, pretended to be brave, and pulled Eve into the area.

It's just that if she used less strength in her hands, it might be more convincing.

"Come on, let's see what this ghost really is."

As they spoke, the others followed Istina into the forest shrouded in endless night...

But before they had walked for long, Istina's steps became smaller again, and finally she shrank back behind Eve, making Eve feel a little amused and helpless.

As for Melchis, she didn't seem to be afraid at all. After all, before she met Eve, her daily life was probably just wandering aimlessly in the forest like this.

Wait, now that I think about it, Melchis also has a ghostly vibe to her.

Once you separate from her, you will forget her existence, and you will naturally imagine the things she used. It is very similar to the story of a ghost girl.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed past from the bushes in front, and Istina was so frightened that she hugged Eve beside her and let out a short scream. It was obvious that she was very scared.

"Alas!"

At this time, the posture between Istina and Eve was extremely weird. Because she was taller than Eve, who was now in a lolita body, she was now half-hunched over and hanging on Eve with her feet off the ground.

But Melchis was much calmer. She rushed directly towards the direction where the black shadow disappeared, and then ran back holding the neck meat of a little black panther.

"Eve, look, it's a leopard."

The little black panther brought by Melchis had not shed all its fur yet, so it should not be an adult yet. It was holding a mouse in its mouth, which should be the prey it had just caught.

Although it was confused by the sudden lifting of its neck skin, it still did not forget to hold the mouse in its mouth. It was not easy for a young leopard who was just approaching adulthood to catch a prey, so it could not let it go no matter what.
