I, Suika, Am a Good Oni! / The Good Life in Siesta
Their purpose is clear: to cause trouble for someone in Siesta.
As for who to cause trouble for, apart from Herman, the mayor of Siesta, Suika couldn't think of anyone else who could make Victoria do this.
Upon finding no one below, the eight people sensed something was wrong and prepared to leave.
But Suika had no intention of letting them leave so easily.
After all, as the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated.
These guys were ready to fight at the first sign of trouble, and now that they realize something's wrong, they want to run away, Suika, who got beaten up, won't stand for it.
"Phew~"
In a flash, Suika vanished from her spot, and with a gust of sea breeze, Great Fog instantly enveloped the entire forest.
"What's going on? Why is it foggy here!" After taking only a few steps, they suddenly found that it was pitch black ahead.
The captain of the squad that had originally planned to continue advancing became hesitant.
After all, from the very beginning, there had been a very strange feeling surrounding them.
Everyone present was a warrior who had survived countless trials and tribulations, and their sixth sense was extremely sharp. Ever since they shot the mysterious man standing in the tree, they had felt that someone was watching them, but they couldn't find any trace of him.
Now, Dense Fog has risen eerily in the darkness, making everyone feel even more uneasy.
Suika looked at the enemies trembling in the Dense Fog, a smile playing on her lips.
Just as their captain was about to abandon the mission and leave this eerie place, the ethereal voice of a young girl, like a whisper, entered their ears.
"O upright wanderer who has left home?"
People who seek the origin.
Please venture through the jungle to find the answer...
A chill instantly rose from the soles of their feet, and everyone felt a tingling sensation on their scalp.
Because they couldn't see any enemies, yet the song seemed to be right next to their ears...
"Who! Who is it?"
After letting out an uncontrollable scream, he grabbed his crossbow and began firing in all directions.
"The first night, the heads of the curious are offered..."
When the singing continued to this point, the team leader at the front shouted to stop the team members from going wild.
But when everyone gathered together, they were surprised to find that one person was missing.
The missing one was the soldier who shot the mysterious man earlier, and when they found the body, they discovered that it was headless.
"Damn it, that guy must still be alive... Everyone, listen up, find your comrade next to you, stand back to back, and head out!"
The captain quickly realized what was happening and then directed everyone to take action.
Soon everyone said they had found partners.
The next second, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Since there were only eight of them, and one of them was already dead, there should have been one person without companions.
But why does everyone have "teammates" on their backs?
Fear gripped them at that moment.
Before the captain could give any further orders, a scream rang out as the song continued.
"The second night, dominate the beautiful body."
The men immediately fired their crossbows in the direction of the screams.
After they finished shooting, they cautiously approached the man and found him dead, his body riddled with arrows they had shot at him.
"On the third night, eliminate the weak." The ethereal song rang out again, and at the same time, one of the people in the group suddenly stiffened and collapsed in front of the others.
When they turned him over, the man was already dead, leaving only a look of fear and resentment on his face.
"Damn it, damn it! Everyone, run back with me! No matter what happens, don't look back!"
Upon discovering that they couldn't understand the mysterious opponent's methods of killing, the captain decisively declared that when disaster strikes, everyone should flee for their lives.
"On the fourth night, the wise man stabbed him."
Before he could even take a step after giving the order, he felt a heavy weight on his body.
"I'm the target!"
Sensing something was wrong, the captain tried to resist, but a familiar hand pierced through his chest.
He turned around in disbelief and found that the person who had just died had somehow stood up and was behind him, and the hand that had pierced through his chest was from that person.
Chapter 196 I, Suika, am a good ghost!
The captain's death made the others even more frightened.
They ran desperately back the way they came, trying to escape the horrific scene.
The song continued to be sung behind them.
On the fifth night, the elder was perplexed.
"On the sixth night, those who are awake will be nailed."
"On the seventh night, the timid shall offer sacrifice."
Each time the song was sung, a soldier died, until only one terrified man remained, desperately running for his life.
After he finally reached the edge of the woods with great difficulty, a wine glass appeared in front of him...
A few minutes later, looking at the enemy who had been scared to death and completely lost consciousness, Suika calmly stood up, raised her Ibuki Gourd, and gave a slight salute to the Twin Moons above her head.
"On the eighth night, in the morning, poison."
After taking care of everyone Suika chuckled.
"Looks like I have a real talent for being a ghost, at least when it comes to scaring people, I'm totally fine with it!"
He Ibuki Gourd back to his waist, grabbed the man by the back of his collar, and slowly dragged him into the depths of the forest, humming the ending of a song.
On the ninth night, the witch was resurrected, and no one survived...
Above her head, a blonde doll lifted her skirt as the song ended, bowing to the surrounding sea breeze.
Baron Glamorgan waited outside Siesta for two whole days, but received no news from the elite assassination squad he had dispatched. There was also no unusual activity coming from Siesta itself, which made him uneasy.
They immediately sent men to follow the path taken by the assassination squad, and what they eventually found were eight corpses in the woods, torn apart beyond recognition by wild beasts.
The military doctors' examination revealed a horrifying discovery: apart from one person who died of fright due to a ruptured liver and gallbladder, the others were all killed instantly by a single blow. These battle-hardened veterans didn't even have time to resist.
They removed the communicators from the soldiers and listened to the audio in an attempt to find out why they were killed.
Then came the soldiers' panicked shouts and the ubiquitous songs of young girls.
After hearing the story, everyone broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale. Apart from ghost stories, they couldn't think of anything to explain how all of this had happened.
"This must be the curse of those demon bastards..."
Damn it, damn it, order the 'Warrior' to retreat! Siesta such bad luck, I don't want to stay here..."
The Baron Glamorgan jumped up and hugged his staff officer, shouting in panic.
Upon hearing the Baron's words, the soldiers immediately activated the High-Speed Battleship, retreating back in the direction they had come from at several times the previous speed.
In Siesta, Herman Dorkos had been quite worried. Although Victoria's High-Speed Battleship had remained silent after its initial threat, he knew Baron Glamorgan inside.
A selfish, cunning, cowardly yet arrogant villain.
He would never give up so easily after being refused.
Therefore, he made several preparations, and had corresponding contingency plans regardless of whether the other party intended to target him or Siesta.
But after waiting for several days, instead of being targeted by the other side, the 'Warrior' was quickly evacuated.
The departing figures were so fearful, like a startled, bewildered Cloud Beast.
What exactly happened on the Warrior?
The question echoed in Herman's mind, but he could not find out the truth.
Upon returning, Baron Glamorgan was relieved of his command of the Warrior by Duke Gaodoting, and the Warrior was then assigned to the Duke's fleet and sailed to Londinium.
Baron Glamorgan, whether from the shock of the previous encounter or from losing command of the Warrior, went mad after returning home.
He ultimately committed suicide in his own Tumor Beast shed.
On the other side, Suika, having finished all this, took a deep breath after stepping into Siesta.
While Lungmen's nights are equally beautiful, they still can't compare to the liveliness of Siesta.
Suika checked the time; it was almost midnight, but the streets were still bustling with people.
Countless scantily clad men and women strolled through the streets and alleys, savoring a nightlife rarely seen elsewhere.
Looking at the bright lights and bustling city ahead, Suika momentarily thought she had returned to her hometown.
After entering the city, Suika quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at the grilled meat from the roadside vendor, Suika swallowed hard and moved closer.
"Hey bro, do you accept credit cards here?"
The vendor was speechless as he looked at the bank card in Suika's hand.
"No, ma'am."
If you don't have any money, why not rest for the night and exchange it at the bank tomorrow before going out to have fun?
Suika expressed her regret, it seems that mobile payment at Siesta has not become widespread.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In my previous life, only a certain Touhou dared to claim that mobile payment would be popularized to individuals.
She wasn't being unreasonable; instead, after asking for the location of the villa, she walked in the direction the other person indicated.
It took Suika more than an hour to navigate through the crowd and reach her destination.
Looking at the dormant volcano behind her and then at the boundless ocean in front, Suika had to admit that Swire's house had chosen a really good location.
Nestled against mountains and beside water, it boasts beautiful scenery.
The only downside is that if the volcano erupts, this place will inevitably be the first to suffer.
But that's none of Suika's business.
She couldn't possibly stay there until then.
"Mayor, the door to Villa No. 3 in the villa district has been opened!"
Shortly after Suika entered the house, news of her arrival reached Herman's ears.
"I remember Villa No. 3 was purchased by a nobleman from Victoria!"
A High-Speed Battleship was currently anchored not far from Siesta when a nobleman, suspected to be from Victoria, suddenly checked in that night, which made him wary.
How many people came?
"Just one, a woman, who looks like Æthiphian ..." someone below replied.
"Hmm?" Herman looked at the man.
"I've confirmed it. According to the surveillance footage I've reviewed, she was alone from the moment she entered Siesta."
"Alone? Just have someone keep an eye on her. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, Siesta welcomes anyone to visit."
Herman thought for a few seconds and then made the arrangements.
Lying on that enormous bed, five meters wide and seven or eight meters long, Suika was still marveling at how extravagant the rich were.
This bed is so big that it could easily fit more than ten people, but this is just one bed in the master bedroom.
This inevitably reminded her of the ridiculous "Long Aotian" characters in some old novels, who wake up every day in a huge bed that's hundreds of square meters in size.
She tilted her head and looked at the Shanghai Dolls that had followed her away. It was now holding a small broom, poking and prodding like a perfectionist, cleaning up every tiny speck of dirt...
