Chapter 756: Paradise and Haunted House
"Forget it, anyway, even if I get beaten, it won't be until tonight. Isn't there still a day left to buffer? Maybe there will be a turning point. At worst, I can still enjoy the last day."
"Hmm, I have to play well today. After all, this might be the last time I go shopping in my life."
The Home Witch's otaku nature came into play again. Her super strong and optimistic mindset made her readily choose to "lie flat."
The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. If it really doesn't straighten, then leave the night's problems for the me of the night to bear again. The me of now just needs to enjoy myself before I die and eat a full "last meal" first.
Right then, she nimbly picked up the few Wu Shidao she had prepared for the Dragon Mother from beside her feet. After putting them away again, she had already recovered her smile and was looking at the sisters beside her. That smile had a kind of transcendence of seeing through the world.
Hmm, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. After all, it couldn't get any worse.
"So where should we go to play next? Any good recommendations?"
Dorothy looked at the Madeline and Audrey sisters beside her and asked with some expectation.
This Night City is their territory, so the tour guide work naturally has to rely on them.
It's just that after the Succubus sisters looked at each other, they were speechless.
Hmm, one is a martial arts fanatic who is addicted to the training ground every day, and the other is a reclusive otaku in the late stages of social anxiety. Neither of them is the type to go out often or play wildly.
Where is fun in Night City? This really touched their blind spot of knowledge.
However, the little fox still decided to try hard. Although she rarely went out in the past, she surfed the magic web in Night City every day, so her theoretical knowledge was okay. Just recommend according to the magic web Night City travel guide ranking.
Hmm, let me think about what the number one Night City attraction is.
Got it.
Audrey searched her memory for the daily life shared by those "current" people on the magic web, and then her eyes lit up.
It's just that...
"I know, I know, Sister, look at me, I know it clearly. We can go play at Mamen Paradise."
Alice tugged on her sister's sleeve and said very actively.
And the little fox, who had just wanted to manipulate the fox puppet to answer, instantly hung her head in frustration.
Wuwuwu, I was beaten to it.
She had also wanted to say Mamen Paradise.
And Dorothy lowered her head to look at the sister beside her. Only then did she remember that Alice could also be considered half a local.
After all, before Anne and Adam remarried, the little witch was also a vampire eldest miss and had lived in Night City for quite a long time.
Oh, that's good too.
Originally, the Home Witch was still struggling with how to find the stepmother to inquire about the information of the Thirteen Vampire Clans, so as to analyze whether Helmos's deal was worth doing.
But now it seems there's no need to trouble the stepmother; just ask Alice.
Hmm, the little witch is much easier to fool than the stepmother. If you just ask her, she might even confess the color of the underwear she's wearing today. This little one has almost no defenses against her.
Dorothy felt a little more relaxed in her heart, and then her attention focused on that so-called "Mamen Paradise."
And the name Mamen made her frown instantly.
This is not a normal name. The name generally points to the Greed Demon God Mamen among the Seven Deadly Sins of the Abyss, so this "Mamen Paradise" is, to put it bluntly, a Demon God's paradise.
This shouldn't be visited, right?
The Home Witch subconsciously felt it was inappropriate.
After all, even though the demons of the Abyss are now ruled by the Demon King and the danger is theoretically much smaller, the inherent stereotypes of the past still make people subconsciously keep their distance from demons. After all, the danger of demons is already self-evident. If you contact them too frequently, you might be sold one day and still be helping them count the money.
Not to mention that this is the territory of a Deadly Sin Demon God.
Of course, since the paradise has been able to open until now and looks quite famous, it should be a legitimate industry. And how could a dignified Demon God pay attention to a few inconspicuous tourists?
But one can't be too careful.
Anyway, Dorothy's intuition moved. She subconsciously felt that this Mamen Paradise was a bit deep.
However, she looked at the sisters around her and found that it seemed like no one else had any opinions on this, especially the most steady Senior Mia, who seemed quite interested. She couldn't say anything.
Hmm, come to think of it, the Greed Demon God Mamen seems to have been manipulating the economy of the Abyss and is a big financial group that monopolizes most of the wealth of the Abyss. The Greed Pot Chamber of Commerce under his command is also one of the powerful competitors of Senior Mia's Golden Township.
Nowadays, the four major financial groups in the Western Universe are the Dragon's Sacred Dragon Alliance, the Demon's Greed Pot, the Witch's Golden Township, and the Angel's Dawn Wing.
Among them, the Sacred Dragon Alliance focuses on the traditional physical banking industry, and the business is mainly custody and lending.
The Greed Pot focuses on the entertainment industry. Almost any business related to entertainment and desire, they do, regardless of whether it is good or bad.
And Golden Township is more omnipotent, but the core focus is the alchemy manufacturing industry, and then it blossoms in all directions based on this, involving everything.
As for the Dawn Wing, those angel investors play with financial credit, various angel funds, and Heaven's stock market scattered everywhere.
Hmm, from this point of view, this Mamen Paradise is really quite worth looking forward to. After all, demons are professional in the entertainment industry. Regardless of whether there are pits inside, it will definitely be fun.
The only problem is that not long ago on Yingzhou Island, she seemed to have had an unpleasant time with this Mamen Demon God. The demon army that Izanagi summoned at the end seemed to have been gathered in the name of Mamen, and then she used the "Second Generation Demon King" as a pretext to scare them away with a single sentence.
Does this count as ruining the Demon God's good deeds?
Of course, the trivial matter on Yingzhou Island shouldn't really be enough to alarm a dignified Deadly Sin Demon God, so Dorothy felt that the claim of offending a Demon God might be her being too self-indulgent.
What kind of status does a Great Demon God have? There's no way she'd have the spare time to pay attention to a village brawl between villagers in a backwater place as small as a sesame seed on the Yingzhou Island.
"Hmm, this is the Witch World, not the Abyss. I'm just going to play as a tourist. The problem shouldn't be big, right?"
Dorothy persuaded herself like this.
And then the persuasion failed miserably.
"Pah, Dorothy, Dorothy, don't you have any self-awareness about what kind of jinx you are? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Such a big Night City isn't the only place to play. Why look for trouble?"
The Home Witch decisively broke the flag she had just set up on her head and reflected on herself fiercely.
"I'm allergic to the name Mamen, and it's hard to finish playing in that kind of giant paradise in a day or two. Why don't we change to a smaller place to play?"
Dorothy said this.
And little Alice didn't ask any further questions when she heard her sister's words. She lowered her head and thought about other places.
Although she had stayed in Night City for a few years when she was little, she rarely left the family at that time because she was young. The deepest and most fun memory was that Mamen Paradise that her father's mother had taken her to once. She remembered that there were many fun and exciting facilities inside.
As for other places, the impression was slightly blurred.
"Senior sister, then we can go to the Scream House. That's a web-celebrity check-in shop that just emerged recently. I think the reviews are quite good, and it's enough to experience it for a few hours."
Audrey seized the gap in the little witch's thinking and hurriedly controlled the fox puppet to speak.
After speaking, she looked at her senior sister with those purple eyes that should have been enchanting but were actually very innocent, and the big tail behind her was stiff with nervousness.
"Scream House? This sounds quite good."
Dorothy also looked at her little junior sister and became a little interested in this proposal.
"Is this a type of haunted house?"
She asked curiously.
Hmm, haunted house games are quite popular among mortals. After all, the essence of human nature is being bad at something but loving to play it.
The more afraid you are, the more you want to play, and then the more you play, the more afraid you become. This kind of cyclical stimulation is easy to make people unable to stop.
However, the Home Witch didn't expect that there would be haunted houses in the Witch World. After all, would there really be witches who are afraid of ghosts?
Dorothy thought about the large pile of magic spells for catching ghosts and spirits in the Necromancy faction and felt that opening a haunted house in the Witch World might lose money. Her own ghost employees might not be enough for the guests to kill.
Ah, this... wouldn't the guests be the ghosts, and the ones screaming be the ghosts?
Hmm, doing it this way seems to have some business opportunities, it's just a bit immoral.
The Home Witch thought this in her heart.
However, because witches have the same human nature as mortals, theoretically speaking, if you can find things that make witches afraid, haunted house games, which are enduring, still have some prospects.
"Hmm, it's similar to a mortal's haunted house, but I heard that inside, it's not ghosts, but some more bizarre things. Necromancy spells don't work on those monsters. Yesterday, I saw on the magic web that a Necromancy big witch was scared into fainting, which caused quite a commotion."
Seeing that her senior sister seemed quite interested, Audrey nodded. The tail behind her was finally not stiff but continued to wag happily, and then the little fox puppet on her shoulder said this.
Dorothy heard a little bit of nervousness and a little bit of expectation from the little fox's voice, which could carry a slight emotion after being upgraded.
Well, looking at it this way, this little junior sister fits the standard of being bad at something but loving to play it.
The little fox was timid to begin with, but she actually proposed wanting to play in a haunted house. This is not afraid of suffering from her own actions.
Hehe, a little looking forward to seeing Audrey cry from fright later. It must be fun.
Dorothy thought with a mischievous interest in her heart.
If what the little fox said was true, that Scream House could really scare a big witch of the Necromancy faction into fainting, then it really had some skills.
Because the Necromancy faction often has to deal with corpses, ghosts, germs, and other negative energy things, Necromancy witches often have a relatively large heart. Their resistance to fear is naturally stronger than witches of other factions. Witches who are timid and have poor acceptance cannot learn the Necromancy faction.
Hmm, interesting, a little interested.
The Home Witch turned to look at the other sisters, asking for their opinions with her eyes.
And regarding this, Madeline looked at her sister helplessly. As a sister, she clearly also knew her sister's personality of being bad at something but loving to play it. This Scream House was probably something the little fox had been eyeing for a long time, but she was too socially anxious and autistic to go play alone. Now that everyone was here, she wanted to play with the group.
However, why not? It sounded quite fun.
The Paladin miss believed in her courage. That Scream House couldn't break her warrior's heart.
And Senior Mia looked at her sweetheart with a smile. She was also quite interested in haunted houses. I heard that in the mortal world, haunted houses are one of the artifacts for promoting the feelings of young couples. Young couples who were originally quite unfamiliar enter a haunted house together, and when they come out, they can naturally hug and cuddle.
Wonderful, haunted house, good civilization.
As for Lucifiel...
The Fallen Angel miss was a bit panicked in her heart.
It's a bit shameful to say, but she is actually quite timid. After all, an unfortunate life often makes one extremely lacking in a sense of security, and her fate line was extremely unlucky. If it weren't for fear, her personality wouldn't have been twisted like this.
If it were ghosts or something, she would be fine, but this haunted house, which was mysterious enough to scare a Necromancy big witch into fainting, instantly made Lucifiel feel a bit cowardly.
That... can I not go?
Lucifiel really wanted to say this.
But she looked at the expressions of the sisters around her who were all quite interested. How could she say this?
Can't say it, really can't say it. If she said it, she would be laughed to death by the eldest miss.
Tsk, can only hold on. If it really doesn't work, I'll just switch to my main body.
The Fallen Angel miss thought this in her heart.
And as for Alice beside Dorothy...
The little witch didn't have any opinions on where to play. As long as she could have her sister accompany her, she wouldn't care even if she just sat on the street and stared for a day.
Thus, everyone immediately decided to go play in the so-called Scream House.
Dorothy nodded to Adam and Anne not far away, and after reporting through sound transmission, everyone set off.
The Scream House wasn't too far away; the shop was on this commercial center street. Everyone flew on their brooms with laughter according to the navigation, and the destination was soon in sight.
"What's this? It looks quite ordinary."
Alice looked at the shop and evaluated it like this.
However, the little witch was indeed not wrong. The exterior of this haunted house was truly ordinary, so ordinary that if it weren't for the "Scream House" sign hanging at the door, no one would have thought that such a shop, which looked no different from an ordinary store on the outside, would be a haunted house.
Normally, the storefront of this kind of haunted house should have a terrifying and thrilling decoration style to look different.
"Let's go in and see first."
Dorothy didn't care much about this. She went straight up to push the door open, but as soon as her hand pushed the door open a gap, a piercing scream came from inside.
Ah ah ah...
Witch screaming. ===== CHAPTER 757 =====
