The Sinful Blood Witch in Another World

As night fell, the small town in the center of the lake was shrouded in darkness.

The moonlight reflected faintly, adding a bit of weirdness to this already mysterious place.

The lake seemed particularly deep in the darkness, and unknown dangers seemed to be hidden beneath the calm surface.

The trees by the lake were swaying, and many swaying figures were wandering in the woods. All kinds of strange cries and occasional strange laughs were heard in the forest.

The soldiers on the city wall took turns standing guard, with fires burning every ten meters. Everyone's expression was very serious, as if they were waiting for something to happen.

At this time, Ma Lou also rushed back. After sending the three people to their residence, he went to the warehouse to get some food and sent it over. Finally, he rushed back without stopping.

"Captain! You're finally back!"

"Um······"

Ma Lou's expression was calm, but the soldiers around him were not. They gathered around and asked the princess all kinds of questions, but Ma Lou only gave occasional perfunctory replies.

At this time, a skinny soldier asked, "Where did you arrange for the princess to live, Captain? Logically speaking, there are no vacant houses in our town anymore."

Hearing this question, the surrounding soldiers also started asking questions. They were even more curious about where the princess lived. Maybe they would be neighbors with the princess for a few days.

Ma Lou's face was a little stiff, and he just said indifferently: "It's that black building..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After hearing about the black mansion, the entire city wall fell into deathly silence. Everyone's face looked as if they had eaten a dead fly, with a look of disgust and fear.

As for that dilapidated black old house, they were taboos among taboos. They could only stay away from it and there was no way they would get close to it and seek death.

The cursed mansion has existed for hundreds of years and has never disappeared...

"Really...really...will everything be okay?"

"If the princess blames me..."

"That house... but no one can survive to the next day"

"What? Do you want our town to have another emperor, or do you want to waste food on a few more mouths?" Ma Lou said with a sinister look, glaring at everyone.

"Damn, just a bunch of stinky royals. We're already struggling to take care of ourselves, so how can we have the time to take care of them? Even if they die here, no one will know!"

"What's more, it's been so long since we sent the message, and we haven't even seen a single reinforcement. Those bastards are only focused on their own enjoyment and don't care about our lives at all!"

Regarding the arrival of Shihui and the other two, he was more angry about the royal family turning a blind eye. He felt that there would be three more huge troubles. He was afraid that the princess would become arrogant and domineering, and eventually lead to even greater suffering for the town.

Sometimes it is more cost-effective to have three fewer mouths to feed than three more.

He spoke again, "You should think about how to resist the flying-head monster tonight. Finally, let me remind you that it was the city lord who deliberately arranged for her to enter that house!"

After hearing Ma Lou's words, everyone fell silent and just scattered, picking up their things. They understood that this matter was no longer something they could know about.

Ever since the three entered the town, the spies told the city lord what had happened, and Ma Lou talked to them the whole time in order to delay time and find the spies in the city.

Finally, he followed them all the way to the strange house. He was not a fool and immediately understood what the city lord meant...

In a remote two-story mansion in the city, when Shihui and the other two stepped into the door of the mansion, a stale smell hit them in the face.

The hall was filled with dim light, and strange portraits hung on the walls.

The faces of the characters in these portraits are distorted. The painting shows a woman in a black robe. Her face is covered by shadows, and there are strange black horns on both sides of her temples. Her messy bangs only reveal one eye that is flashing with a strange light.

The most terrifying thing is the mouth full of fangs. The teeth are as densely packed as if they were parasites. The woman in the painting smiles at an extremely distorted angle.

"Why...why would there be a painting in the living room for no reason?!"

Oleina looked at the painting on the wall. For some reason, she always felt that the woman in the painting was staring at her, which gave her a creepy feeling.

Little Annie was so frightened that she hid behind the lime and didn't dare to look at the painting at all.

"That's quite interesting..."

Shihui activated his magic eyes, but did not see any magic flowing on the painting. In other words, the strange painting in front of him was not a magical item, but was simply made to be scary.

But this didn't mean anything, because even she herself felt a chill, as if there were a pair of eyes in this dark and dilapidated mansion, staring at them.

"Could it be a supernatural phenomenon? This cannot be ruled out. After all, nothing is unusual in this world these days."

"Don't be afraid, I'll take down this painting first. Ou Lei, you will be responsible for lighting all the candles and kerosene lamps in the whole house..."

"Okay Miss Hilde!"

As Shihui spoke, he walked towards the strange, giant portrait that was as tall as a person. Oleina took out a tinder from her waist bag and began to light the candles, while Annie stood alone at the edge of the gate, where only the moonlight could be barely seen.

As he got closer to the portrait, the chill that made his scalp tingle became more and more intense. Even Shihui himself didn't notice that his arms were covered with goose bumps.

She stretched out her hands to hold the two sides of the painting, and then began to lift the painting with force.

"Um······?"

Looking at the motionless oil painting, Hui Shi herself couldn't help but wonder. She had clearly used up all her strength just now, but the painting seemed to be one with the wall and didn't move at all.

The lime-red eyes stared intently at the portrait, and for a moment she felt the painting's eyes move, as if mocking her.

This was not the first time she had encountered a supernatural event, but this was the first time she had seen something so evil. After all, she really didn't want to look at this kind of ghost nun-style painting any longer.

She knocked hard on the portrait, with a playful smile on her face: "Then why not just burn you to ashes!"

"..."

The portrait had not changed at all and was still hanging there quietly.

At this time, the surroundings became brighter. Everything on the first floor that could be lit was ignited by Oleina, but the feeling about the painting did not dissipate. Instead, it became even more weird, as if all the light sources were being sucked into the black frame.

"Gah~gah~gah~"

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

At this strange moment, the sounds of crows and dogs barking were heard outside.

"Aaaaaah, Sister Hilde, help me!!!"

Anne, who was standing at the door, screamed, her face pale with fear, and she ran into the house like a flash and pounced directly on Shihui.

'Where's the dog outside at this late hour?'

Listening to the hurried barking of dogs outside the house, Shihui walked quickly to the door, with Annie beside her hugging her tightly like a pendant, following her wherever she went.

I saw a huge black dog outside the door barking at the house. Even when it saw someone coming out of the house, it did not stop and continued to bark, as if it was trying to intimidate something.

Shihui followed the dog's gaze and saw that it was barking in the direction of the strange painting. This made her feel even more uneasy, and she even began to think about burning the painting.

She turned her gaze to the big black dog again. The moment the man and the dog looked at each other, even Shi Hui herself was frightened and took a few steps back.

But the big black dog did not bark at the two of them. Instead, it tilted its head and looked at them.

"That... that big dog is so scary... Can you please let it go, Sister Hilde..."

Annie, who was hiding behind the dog, didn't dare to look at the black dog. She could only keep pulling at Shihui's clothes, hoping that she could hurry up and send the big black dog away.

Shi Hui did not have much aversion to the black dog. After all, she believed that black dogs could ward off evil spirits. Now there was no place for them to live in the town, so they could only spend the night here.

Instead of chasing this big black dog away, it would be better to let it stay and keep watch for me.

Shi Hui took out a half-eaten piece of bread from his backpack and threw it to the big black dog.

When the big black dog saw the bread on the ground, it immediately lowered its head and started eating. In a few bites, half of the bread was in its stomach.

Lime looked at it with interest and said half-jokingly: "If you eat my food, you must protect the three of us well."

"Wang!"

The big black dog seemed to understand human language and actually walked in, circled twice in front of Lime's feet, and then lay quietly in the house.
