The Legend of the Night's Watch
How did I get caught by this woman?!
But she still forced herself to slow her heartbeat, glancing slightly at her surroundings.
She quickly noticed something to the side.
His own clothes, weapons, and some equipment were all quietly piled on top!
There's still a chance...
I still have a chance to escape!
Taking a deep breath, the Crownslayer forced himself to calm down, reaching out to gently touch the keyhole of his handcuffs.
After confirming that it wasn't something unsolvable, she cautiously probed it with a small part of her fingernail.
Meanwhile, Maria merely glanced over before continuing to peruse her book.
In just a few minutes, she finished reading the last few pages.
The book closed gently with a snap.
"Miss Crownslayer..."
Maria spoke calmly, her tone revealing nothing of her emotions.
"Continuing to remain silent is not interesting."
"... So, what do you want to say?"
The Crownslayer knew her feigned unconsciousness wouldn't fool the woman before her, so she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and continued speaking.
Why don't you kill me?
"You still have value, that's all."
Maria turned her head and silently looked at the other person.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Crownslayer suddenly twisted his finger!
"Thud."
With a crisp sound, the handcuffs were suddenly unlocked.
Without hesitation, the Crownslayer flipped backward, decisively grabbed the small cleaver beside him, and flew out!
She wasn't in the mood to check if the other person would be infected; she just instinctively grabbed her clothes, turned around, and tried to run out of the window!
The attack was a ruse; she just wanted to escape!
But...
"As an injured person, this level of activity might be a bit too much for you."
Maria spoke casually, flicking away the flying cleaver with her right hand, and with a slight exertion of her left hand, she grabbed the naked little girl who was trying to jump out of the window to escape.
"Forehead..."
The Crownslayer was held by the arm by Maria, his body stiff.
Her body remained in a charging motion, but the arm that was being pulled was stinging with pain.
Maria stiffly turned her head and gazed at her calmly.
Then...
Slightly exert force in the arm.
In the blink of an eye, the Crownslayer was forcefully thrown back onto the bed, her frail body bouncing slightly.
"I don't like to treat injured people with violence, but I also understand that sometimes, words can't control each other..."
Maria turned around, and as the Crownslayer retreated in terror, she gently bent down and easily grasped Crownslayer wrists with both hands.
She just stood there, defenseless, looking down at the desperate girl in front of her.
She lowered her body, gradually compressing the space around the Crownslayer in front of her.
The Crownslayer also attempted to use his legs to create distance between them.
Unfortunately, she was not as powerful as Maria to begin with, and at this moment she didn't even have a chance to exert her strength.
She could only watch as the woman in front of her approached her step by step.
The cloying scent of incense gradually drove her to despair.
"So, please don't put us in a difficult position, okay?"
A soft, seductive voice whispered in the girl's ear, like a pair of hands, electric-like, caressing her entire body...
The two men's faces were only a dozen centimeters apart; at that distance, the Crownslayer had no room to launch an attack.
Although there is still a possibility of an attack on Maria's abdomen.
But clearly, after two battles, she had realized that the two sides were not even in the same league.
Looking at the woman approaching her, she remained silent for a long time before quietly turning her head away.
With legs hanging down and straightened, the body relaxed from tension...
She chose not to resist Maria.
Regardless of the other party's actions towards me...
Can't fight...
He was not as strong or fast as his opponent, and even his Originium Arts were useless when he was controlled first.
Continuing to resist would only make things worse... Maria was already surprised that she hadn't killed her on the spot, and she wasn't sure what Maria's intentions were.
Rather than continue to inflict more wounds on herself, she chose to comply with the other party's wishes.
To her surprise, after confirming her stance, Maria did not continue to handcuff her hands, but instead slightly rose, giving her some breathing space again.
"I'm glad you made that choice. Even if you disagree, I could have taken it myself, but that would have been a bit too forceful."
Maria spoke calmly, taking a few steps back and sitting back down in her chair.
The Crownslayer, on the other hand, slowly raised his body and sat to one side.
He braced his hands on the pristine white sheets.
The cold moonlight shone behind Maria's figure, illuminating her beautiful, unadorned body, while the disheveled sheets seemed to tell many stories.
The Crownslayer pursed his lips, and after a moment, cautiously reached out and picked up a bed sheet from the side, slightly covering his naked body.
Maria did not stop the girl from feeling ashamed; she simply waited quietly.
Unfortunately, this volatile hyena doesn't seem to have been truly tamed by Maria yet...
Just as Maria was waiting, she decisively threw out the white sheet, blocking Maria's view!
She still wanted to escape!
Chapter 154 The Legend of the Night Watcher
Who can feel at ease?
In her eyes, Maria was almost no different from Catastrophes.
Some daring individuals might claim they can sleep peacefully next to ferocious beasts... well, let them try sleeping next to Catastrophes!
The fact that this guy didn't kill me on the spot is purely a matter of luck...
What do you want to know the news about...?
Information can't save your life at all!
If I were to foolishly reveal what the other person wanted to know, I'd be close to death!
Run away!
We have to escape!
There is no room for easing the situation, and there is nothing to think about!
All I need to do now is run away!
But...
Unfortunately, just after she threw the sheet at Maria, her gaze suddenly shifted.
A cold arm gripped her neck tightly!
!
Without any hesitation, the Crownslayer decisively kicked out.
Unfortunately, before the leg could be fully extended, someone grabbed the ankle.
And then... she was cornered against the wall.
Maria looked down at the hyena in front of her, her eyes filled with utter indifference.
At this moment, she had one hand gripping the other person's neck and the other hand grabbing their ankle.
Taking advantage of her height, she simply raised her hand slightly and forcefully pulled him up.
The Crownslayer was forced to stand on one foot, while Maria roughly pinned his other foot against the wall.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together.
"I think I've given you enough respect and patience, Miss Crownslayer... but your actions have made me very unhappy."
Maria spoke softly, her words flat, devoid of even the last trace of gentleness.
The Crownslayer gritted his teeth and stared at Maria before him. After hesitating for a few seconds, Maria's other hand ultimately did not resist; she simply lowered the clothes she was holding.
But this time, Maria didn't give her any more room to relax.
She only loosened her grip on the other person's wrist slightly to prevent them from suffocating.
As for the attitude...
She hasn't changed.
She simply and quietly cornered the girl, forcing her into a standing split position.
"You have no chance... Now, answer my question."
Maria gazed at the girl before her and issued an absolute command to her in an almost imperative tone.
Although Maria was not threatened by the Crownslayer's every act of resistance, after several repetitions, she began to feel somewhat disgusted.
I have already shown the other person enough respect and courtesy... I didn't even find a prison cell for them, but brought them home!
If the Crownslayer really doesn't obey...
Then she'll have to unleash her abilities.
The Doll once said that in the Hunting Ground, as long as you kill enough targets, you can also extract enough of their memories!
After taking a few difficult breaths, the Crownslayer gritted his teeth.
She could hear the impatience in Maria's tone.
She also knew that if she continued to try to resist, the outcome might be dire.
Looking at herself in this naked splits position, she felt extremely ashamed.
A moment later, she also gave her offer.
"Let me go... and I'll tell you everything you want to know..."
The Crownslayer, his face flushed and head bowed, shamefully gave his conclusion.
But all she received was Maria's slight exertion on her wrist.
A strong feeling of suffocation surged into the Crownslayer's mind in an instant. Her hands instinctively grabbed Maria's hand that was gripping her neck, trying to resist.
But what followed was a gradually turning pale face and a gradually darkening gaze...
Her pupils gradually moved upwards and turned white...
Mouth slightly open...
After once again suffocating, Maria finally released her grip and silently watched the girl gasping for breath.
