Chapter 1409: Chapter 136: Hello, Darkness
There will be such a day.
Actually, she had never thought there would be such a day, even though she had always had a habit of fantasizing… But she indeed never had such imaginations before.
We have fought back against the Noble Masters… and even brought those who were once high and mighty down to the ground.
Looking at those ‘aristocrats’ being sent before her, kneeling and begging for mercy, whom she once could only obey, Ann quietly pinched her well-hidden belly.
Hmm… it seems like I’ve been eating a bit too much lately.
How should these nobles… these bloodsuckers be dealt with?
According to the usual practice, once she delivered orders with a cold face to directly execute the bloodsuckers, people around her would cheer wildly, and the brightness of the gem on the ring would swiftly increase.
She gradually began to understand how to make the gem on the ring light up faster… Only, she always felt there was something not right about this method.
She couldn’t prehend many things among them… Now she could only uncover things little by little, doing them step by step.
“Great Goddess! We found some suspicious characters ahead! Lord Amanda said she needs you to e over!”
Amanda… Lord?
The child has risen so quickly… Ann slightly teased in her mind, then nodded to the visitor and said calmly, “Lead the way.”
Ann soon came to the scene of the incident, led by the crowd.
She saw a circle surrounded, in its center lay a man and two women.
Seeing the Great Goddess had arrived, the crowd immediately made a path.
“What happened here?” Ann asked in a deep voice.
Amanda came forward directly, lowering her head to kneel before speaking respectfully, “Great Goddess, we discovered several suspicious individuals… One of them claims to know you!”
Ann paused for a moment, then wasn’t too surprised.
How e… she originally was a Reserve Matron within the Farm, often walking around the Farm, so naturally, it’s impossible for no one to recognize her.
But she couldn’t help feeling curious… Who could this possibly be?
Under Amanda’s protection, Ann slowly passed through the crowd and finally came to the humans surrounded.
“It’s actually you…”
Upon seeing the person, Ann was momentarily stunned, then opened her mouth—Who did she see? She actually saw David, the guy whom she had once hit with a black stick.
Emmmm… this is awkward.
“I also didn’t expect… to meet you here.”
In the crowd, David looked plexly at Ann, slowly approaching encircled by people… Many thoughts flashed through his mind swiftly—thoughts that had started cropping up when he first saw her on the high wall.
Ann actually didn’t mind David’s response at this moment… But the people by her side didn’t feel the same.
Especially Amanda, who first glared at David with an unkind gaze… Making David feel immense unease and chills down his back.
The people here were looking at him as if he’s the greatest enemy.
Meila suddenly came to David’s side… Whether due to killing many bloodsuckers or for some other reason, she naturally exuded something frightening—especially the strange black flame on her cheek.
“Ann! Is it really Ann? I’m Reynas! Reynas from the Inspection Group! Do you remember me?”
But Reynas was unconcerned with all this. Her emotions were somewhat agitated as she quickly approached Ann, but she didn’t foresee that she’d be stopped by surrounding humans after only a few steps.
Reynas was pressed down on the ground by two men with sticks, then had her hands grabbed by another two men, instantly turning terrified.
“Release her.” Ann had to sternly order these rather fervent Guardians beside her… She always felt this Goddess Honor Guard seemed to have been influenced by Amanda.
The Guardians loyally executed Goddess Ann’s order and released Reynas.
Ann continued, “I indeed recognize these people… Hmm, I have some things to discuss with them privately, you all may leave now.”
Aside from Amanda, the Guard Team did not refute… As for Amanda, she only hesitated a moment before retreating—though she later ordered everyone not to stray too far.
The crowd still kept close attention.
…
After standing silently for a while, Ann took the initiative, “So, this is the panion you said you must rescue… But she doesn’t seem to really need it.”
Ann was clearly referring to Meila… Anyone seeing Meila’s current appearance wouldn’t think she’s a weak woman needing rescue.
“David, who’s she?” Meila just moved closer to David, softly asking.
David replied solemnly, “I met her at Dormitory No.7… She claims to be an assimilated human, a Reserve Matron. At that time, she was being questioned by several members of the Inspection Group. I rescued her, and hoped she’d assist me in finding you guys in the Farm. Later… some unpleasant events occurred, as for why she’s now…”
David’s words stopped, then he glanced around, the meaning quite clear.
Meila nodded—In fact, towards this group of people, from Ann to each one beside her, she felt no much animosity—instead, even more curiosity.
This was also her first time seeing humans so directly bating bloodsuckers… and even winning overwhelming victories, it was truly unbelievable.
She hated bloodsuckers, thus would highly respect those opposing them.
“… just encountered many things that’s all.” Ann embarrassedly chuckled, then quickly said, “David, let’s pretend the previous unpleasantness never happened, alright? After all, I was merely intending to protect myself then. Now…”
Ann also glanced around herself, lightly coughing, “Hmm… Are you still looking for more panions? I think now I can help you with that, you see… how should I put this… hmm, anyway it seems like I’ve already conquered this place.”
This statement was quite audacious.
David’s gaze turned extremely plex—he even figured Ann must’ve gained something from that merchant to be in her current situation.
What… did she acquire from that merchant?
What did Meila… acquire from that merchant?
Why only himself…
David slightly shook his head, “Thank you for remembering to help me… but it’s already unnecessary. The panions I am looking for, besides Meila, have all sacrificed. However, I wonder if you’ve seen my other panions? They were supposed to stealthily enter the Breeding Farm.”
Ann directly said, “Those guys you’re talking about, I know where they are.”
“Really?” David opened his mouth astonished.
Ann unfolded the tips of her hair with her fingers, nodding, “Hmm, I encountered a group on the road, hiding by the manure pit. My people discovered them, casually saved… I’ll have them brought over.”
——Casually… saved them.
David’s pupils slightly contracted, then he joyfully rejoiced, “I really appreciate it, Ann!”
Ann was somewhat unused to this guy suddenly being polite… However, considering that this guy was willing to take risks and dared to stay at the Farm to find his panions, it seemed like his character had redeeming qualities.
“Alright, you look tired. I’ll have someone take you to rest,” Ann waved her hand, gesturing to Amanda nearby to e over, “It’s also a good opportunity for you to meet up with your panions… Now the Farm is basically suppressed, but I can’t say for sure if there are any remnants of Torrido hiding somewhere, so you’d better be careful.”
“We will,” David said seriously.
After this, under Ann’s instructions, Amanda quickly called over several people to lead David and his group away.
…
“Great Goddess!” After David and his group were taken away, Amanda suddenly walked up to Ann, bowing her head and said, “This man has a vampire-like smell on him!”
Ann blinked and thought for a moment, “Could it be that it was picked up while fighting vampires? After all, didn’t everyone get quite a bit of vampire blood on them?”
“Better safe than sorry,” Amanda said seriously.
Ann thought for a moment, “Hmm… You’ve seen the group of Revolutionary Army people we’ve rescued, right? This David is the one responsible for this action, and he was even willing to stay behind voluntarily to rescue his lost panions, so theoretically, his character should be fine… Although his methods might be a bit forceful.”
After all, it was really David who saved her from those men of the Inspection Group…
“Great Goddess!” Amanda took a step closer, her eyes shining.
Ann, somewhat unable to withstand Amanda’s gaze, averted her eyes and then said, “Alright, if you’re not at ease, just keep an eye on him… It can’t hurt.”
Hmm… Be it fatigue or whatever, she felt different after seeing David again.
But then she recalled David trading his pre-adult memories for weapons… perhaps it would cause some changes as well?
The day’s events were already quite enough; Ann didn’t want to spend too much energy worrying about David—pared to the matter of her being the Goddess for so many rescued Ancients descendants, David’s issue was trivial.
“By the way,” Ann suddenly stopped Amanda, “I have a task for you to do.”
“My honor!” Amanda’s emotions surged instantly.
Ann was unfazed by this, casually saying, “Go to the monastery, there are things hidden under the confession room’s floor. After retrieving them, just set them alight… that’s all.”
Without questioning the purpose, Amanda executed the task without another word.
Watching Amanda’s swift departure, Ann couldn’t help but yawn; she was truly exhausted today and now only desired to find a place for good rest.
“I wonder if he’ll be scared when he arrives…” Ann murmured while pounding her shoulders and heading to the resting room prepared by the adherents, self-mocking, “I am indeed a goddess…”
…
…
“Search thoroughly here! Immediately eliminate any vampire remnants found!”
The humans rescued from the Slaughterhouse harbored a deeper hatred for vampires than those from the Breeding Farm… And their worship for the goddess was even more fervent.
Simultaneously, they threw themselves to the frontlines in battles.
“Great Goddess is resting! We must pletely clean up this place before she wakes up! We must not let any filthy vampires sully the place where the Great Goddess stands!”
“Indeed! Today is a victory day! This is our liberated land! Our reborn holy place! Not a speck of filth can be tolerated!”
They were so simple, black and white… within this newly formed goddess group.
“Captain! Found something in this house!”
A temporary team, armed to the teeth, crashed into the house—it was supposed to be a candy store.
They found a brother and sister hiding there, with a hint of fear on their faces… human, children from the Farm not yet of age.
They weren’t vampires, so the temporary team naturally acted more amicable… even tenderly—they intended to convey Goddess Ann’s greatness, to rescue them from the painful abyss!
“Everything’s fine now! From now on, you’re free! You can even resume your past life! Because… we’ll protect you!”
They were blindly confident even.
The curled up brother and sister silently nodded before these people… but their gaze was more bewildered.
Different from those who mentally collapsed from farming, distinct from those pletely deranged children… they could be confirmed as humans.
“What are your names?”
The crowd focused on the youth who was their brother… His face had extensive burns, unrecognizable from before.
“No…Norman,” the nervous brother stated his name, “I am Bazby… ninth dormitory… only one month before ing of age…”
“Norman, is it? Got it!” The leader of the followers nodded, then looked at the sister, tenderly asking, “And you, child?”
“Mina.”
The girl nestled in her brother’s embrace, gazing at this world, looking at this adult displaying kindness, softly stated her name.
…
…
Villa.
Boss Luo cradled the maid, who could hardly move anymore, from the balcony and walked back into the room, unfastened her clothes, and carefully tended to her slightly damaged parts.
Very soon, she became perfect again.
Boss Luo didn’t ask the maid why she acted out, but simply sat behind her and began bing her hair.
She was thoroughly enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
“What is that?” she asked.
She saw the master casually place something blood-red, akin to a gemstone, on the bedside table before tending to her body.
“The power for the second child,” Boss Luo smiled, “She chose to be an ordinary person.”
“Ordinary person?” The maid tilted her head.
“Yes,” Luo Qiu kissed her forehead, chuckling, “A simple person who experiences birth, aging, illness, and death, acpanied by family, and easily finds happiness.”
“True or false?”
Boss Luo whispered, “It’s no longer necessary.”
Just like a former Acting Archduke once said: If what’s fake is performed well enough, real or fake need no longer be differentiated.
The day has dawned.
