Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 77 Sequence 8 The Listener

Ms. M?

She's not dead?
She's still alive!
Inside the house at No. 6 Narcissus Street, the woman who greeted the Londor siblings was dressed in a white robe, her hair as red as blood. Her golden eyes lingered indifferently on Luze, yet her delicate and beautiful face wore a gentle and loving smile.

Gentle, cruel, beautiful, evil—Ms. is a woman who seems to embody all these contradictory qualities.

The moment he saw the other person's face clearly, Lu Ze was overwhelmed by immense confusion and fear, and he froze for a moment.

"Lu Ze, who's speaking?"

Cecilia's puzzled voice came from behind him, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

Run!

The thought of protecting his sister overcame his fear, and Lu Ze gritted his teeth and reached out to touch the bone flute and clown doll in his arms.

At least let Cecilia escape.
"Quiet, don't move."

Just then, he met Ms. M's dazzling, molten gold-like eyes.

All movement stopped abruptly. Luze obediently lowered his arm and entered the house with Cecilia, who was also under control, and closed the door.

Calm down, calm down, I still have a cheat code that can resist hypnosis. Lu Ze told himself in his heart, waiting for the illusory ocean tide in his mind to appear.

Then he watched in despair as Cecilia walked past him with lifeless eyes until she was embraced by Ms. M.

“A very beautiful dress, Luze. You’re very good to your sister.” She looked Cecilia up and down in her light purple dress and praised her. “She’s also very beautiful. The bloodline of your Londor family is truly excellent.”

The illusory sound of the tide belatedly rang out, and Luze was freed. He took a deep breath but did not move. Cecilia was being controlled by the other party, and he dared not act rashly.

"Wait, who are you, and why are you in my house?"

Cecilia, who was being held by Ms. M, slowly regained her senses and was surprised to find herself being embraced by a beautiful stranger.

“I am your brother’s friend, and I’m here to help you.”

Ms. M smiled and said to her, "Those who don't know her background might really be bewitched by her charming appearance and smile, and mistakenly think she is a good person."

"Help us?"

"Yes, I will help you to know the greatness of the Lord."

"Cecilia, don't listen to her!"

When Lu Ze saw that Ms. M was actually going to preach to her sister, he couldn't help but shout to stop her.

Ms. M paused, smiled at Lu Ze, raised her right hand to him, made a gun gesture, and pointed her index finger, adorned with a red rose ring, at him.

"boom."

she says.

With a "poof," a bloody hole immediately appeared in Lu Ze's heart. He clutched his chest in pain and slowly collapsed.

"Lu Ze!"

Cecilia cried out and shoved Ms. M aside. She instinctively wanted to run to Luzer, but suddenly stopped, glanced at Ms. M, and turned to rush into the kitchen.

His heart was beating with difficulty, and his muscles were stretching and repairing. Lu Ze was completely powerless and lay on the ground, unable to get up for the time being.

"Do not move."

Ms. M walked up to Lu Ze and once again used psychological suggestion to control him.

"Guess what your sister is going to do?"

She looked toward the kitchen and asked cheerfully.

Lu Ze glared at her angrily, unable to speak due to the effects of psychological suggestion.

Just a few seconds later, Cecilia rushed out of the kitchen, holding a gleaming kitchen knife.

"Get away from my brother!" she shouted at Ms. M, brandishing the knife, her small body emitting a loud roar like a mother tigress protecting her cubs. Her expensive dress had been torn open to facilitate her movements.

Run!
Luze wanted Cecilia to escape, but he couldn't make a sound.

What if I refuse?

Ms. M asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia immediately raised her knife and stabbed at Ms. M without hesitation, just as she had done when she stabbed Sirius to save Luzer.

"Touching."

Ms. M praised her. Instead of flinching, she opened her arms and hugged Cecilia like a mother welcoming a running child.

"puff!"

Ms. M was then stabbed in the abdomen by a kitchen knife, and blood gushed out. But she showed no sign of pain. Instead, she used her arm to hold Cecilia tightly with great strength, and reached into the open wound, forcibly digging out a clump of her own flesh!
Then, amid Cecilia's fierce struggle, Ms. M forcefully and gently restrained her, forcibly feeding her her own flesh and blood into her mouth.

"Go away!"

Luze broke free of control again, leaping up and banging the clown doll in his arms. He could hardly bear to see Cecilia being fed dangerous flesh and blood!
"a ha ha ha!"

Amidst the clown's shrill and unpleasant laughter from his chest, he suddenly accelerated, rushing to Ms. M's side and raising his pistol in her blind spot behind her.

Luze's situation was utterly hopeless. To fight a Sequence 9 shepherd against a Sequence 5 shepherd, especially with hostages present, was like charging headlong into death!

Shooting a gunshot would at least let people outside hear it.
However, before Lu Ze could pull the trigger, a ball of flame suddenly rose in front of him, and Ms. M suddenly appeared in front of him.

Suddenly, a metallic sweetness filled his mouth, and something was stuffed into it. The thing seemed alive, wriggling rapidly downwards, and before he could swallow it, it had already entered his stomach.

Then, that thing began to wreak havoc inside Lu Ze's body.

"Ahhh!"

His heart felt like it was being gnawed at, his intestines were being pulled hard, his kidneys were being squeezed tightly, and all his internal organs were being tortured!

"Does it hurt a lot? You poor thing."

Ms. M held him and spoke softly, her fair and slender fingers gently stroking his face, as if she were not the one causing Lu Ze pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided. The mass retreated back into Lu Ze's stomach, remaining still and quiet.

Luze opened his eyes and saw that Cecilia was also in a weak state—it seemed that both of them had been forcibly fed with M's flesh and blood.

"What on earth are you going to do!"

Lu Ze gritted his teeth and said, "I'm the one who ruined your plans, it has nothing to do with my sister."

The people in the Aurora Society are incomprehensible lunatics, but in this situation, he could only try to stall for time.

But Lu Ze's heart was ice-cold. He had ruined Ms. M's wish and almost killed her. How could the hatred between them be easily resolved?

Ms. M looked at him with a smile.

"I've already said what I want to do."

Did she just say that?

Lu Ze briefly recalled what Ms. M had just said.
"help me?"

He found it utterly absurd to say those words. Given the deep hatred he harbored for Ms. M, would she really help him?

"Yes."

However, Ms. M actually smiled and nodded.

“I’m here to help you. Having made further progress in mysticism, I can sense that you’ve completely digested the Mystic’s potion. How about it, do you want to advance to Sequence 8, the Listener?”

She asked this question, her gentle voice seemingly laced with malice.
