497: Kill Her!

Ming Xi had been ashamed of the owner of the notebook when he saw it. The crime began with the nobleman who used his power to oppress the lower class. Although the dollmaker began as an innocent party in all of it, he became guilty when he used the skin and flesh of children to make the doll. No one forced him to do it so the moment he did, he could no longer be considered an innocent party.

Ming Xi had no sympathy for this kind of person; it didn’t matter how much regret the person had afterwards.

“A person like me doesn’t deserve sympathy. I should have resolved myself to my fate, but instead, in order to survive, I chose to commit a grave sin against the children.”

His eyes were filled with remorse and it was clear how much he regretted the harm he had done. Originally, he thought he could atone for his sins with his death. It wasn’t until after he died that he realized redemption wasn’t so easy to get.

The children hated him and kept him imprisoned in the mansion. He couldn’t leave, couldn’t reincarnate. He could only suffer endless torment every day.

For over a thousand years now, he had watched as countless people had their souls imprisoned in the mansion after being killed by the children.

At this point, he didn’t know how many souls were captive inside the mansion. The other souls thought about leaving everyday, however, they were stuck just like him.

The children had a strong hostility towards adults, especially men. The reason, the culprit, was of course him. He should never have been born. . .

“What are you doing out?” The little girl was unhappy at having her game interrupted.

She didn’t just want to play with them; she wanted to put them into the dolls. That way they could stay with her forever.

“Miss, stop hurting people. Please let them go.” The man cautiously spoke up.

It wasn’t that he was being kindly and wanted the adventurers to escape; it was just that he had an ominous premonition from the group, especially the one with the golden hair. That guy gave him a terrifying feeling. If it didn’t come from personal power, then it definitely came from blood lineage.

He did not want to mess with a human with such strong bloodline. Plus, he did feel guilty about the young miss. He had turned a naïve, willful child into a devil and had caused her misfortune. In order to make up for it, he didn’t want her to provoke someone she shouldn’t provoke.

Letting the group go was for her own good. If the group wasn’t released, and if something happened to the golden-haired person, then the young miss would definitely suffer in the future.

Unfortunately, the little girl did not understand his kind intentions. She pouted unhappily. “Mind your own business you rotten scumbag.”

She waved her hand and the man’s spirit slammed into the wall.

Spirits were intangible and should not have been hurt from physical impact. But unexpectedly, when he slammed into the wall, he suffered a serious injury.

His already weak coloring dimmed even more to almost nothing. He looked even weaker now.

The little girl muttered, “Busybody,” before turning away and ignoring him. She looked at Ming Xi and the others with great interest. “Now it’s your turn. All of you have to stay and play with me.”

She hugged her doll with one arm and flapped her other happily. Her chubby face was indescribably cute. It was just that no one was in the mood to appreciate it. Her cute face was in fact as terrifying as a demon to them.

“Let’s play Ghost Catching People. Anyone caught by the ghost will become a ghost too.” The little girl giggled happily. “I’m going to be the ghost so you have to be careful now.”

She disappeared as soon as she said that. When she reappeared, it was in the middle of Caesar’s team as she tapped a young man.

“Ah!” He screamed in panic. It was too late to run and he quickly turned into an ice sculpture.

“Go and stay in the painting.” The little girl waved her hand and an icy, cold wind formed in the room. A shadow appeared in the air and then floated to the wall where a frame was slowly forming. As the shadow entered the frame, an image gradually took shape. It was the young man who had just been tapped by the little girl!

“Loufman!” Those familiar with the deceased cried out in sorrow. Their hearts were dominated with hatred and unwillingness at not being able to save their companion.

They did not want to die under the hands of a malicious spirit in a place like this.

Killing intent filled their hearts. Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!

If they didn’t kill her, they would die just like Loufman. They stopped passively dodging and instead raised their weapons high, intent on attacking her.

“Oh, how fun!” The little girl giggled at the sight and clapped her hands in delight. “I’m going to grab you!”

Their tragic mood went right over her head.

“Kill her! Kill that monster!”

“Kill her!”

The group rushed towards the little girl, who was smiling extraordinarily sweetly, with their swords and staffs.

Despair filled Yaoyue’s heart. It would be useless. Attacking with magic and physical strikes wouldn’t have any effect on the little girl’s spirit body. The only thing that would work were necromancer magic and light magic.

Yaoyue was the only one in the group with necromancer magic. As for light magic. . .

She glanced over at Ming Xi. She knew he had talent for light, but he rarely used it, so she didn’t know what level his magic was or if he could control it well.

“Junior Ming Xi, join me.” Yaoyue cast necromancer magic as she said this.

“Of course.” Ming Xi replied. He rarely used magic, so between swordsmanship and magic, he was much better at the former. Nonetheless, he swapped the sword in his hand for a staff.
