Chapter 758: Business at the Door

Scream House, this is the brand-new research topic Wendy has just started recently.

As the youngest daughter of the Demon King, her talent and ability are beyond doubt. Even among many sisters, she is among the most outstanding batch, and even followed Mother early on to start the cultivation of the Three Hates after the Seven Deadly Sins.

Unlike the Seven Deadly Sins that sentient beings are born with, Hatred, Despair, and Fear are the Three Hates added by the Demon King later.

Let's not mention for now whether the Three Hates or the Seven Deadly Sins are stronger or weaker. That doesn't make much sense. After all, power itself has no high or low distinction; it mainly depends on the person. However, compared to the demons' Seven Deadly Sins, this Three Hates power created by the Demon King is undoubtedly more suitable for the witch constitution.

Because the Seven Deadly Sins are the inherent flaws rooted in the souls of sentient beings, just as appetite and reproductive desire are instincts rooted in the flesh of organisms. This is nature.

But the Three Hates are different. This is neither an instinct of the flesh nor a nature of the soul. This is three kinds of negative energy bred in the human heart.

In other words, even if these three kinds of energy are so negative, they are indeed genuine powers of the heart.

And witch magic is the power of the heart.

The stronger the heart, the stronger the power of the heart, and the stronger the magic.

Just from this point, at least for witches, the Three Hates are far more suitable power than the Seven Deadly Sins.

It's just that the cultivation of the Three Hates is also more troublesome. After all, if you want to harvest the Seven Deadly Sins, you only need to trigger the prey's desires. This is not difficult, because everyone has desires.

But if you want to harvest the Three Hates, you have to use some means of playing with people's hearts.

You have to make the target hate, make the target despair, make the target fear.

If you just want to achieve such a goal, it is not difficult. After all, becoming a perverted serial killer can easily achieve these conditions. But if you want to be legal and compliant and not hurt the innocent to achieve these goals, it is indeed a bit tricky.

Generally, there are two choices.

Either go to the front-line battlefield, attract hatred, spread fear, and create despair toward those alien races.

Or it is to crack down on evil. If you don't want to hurt the innocent, then take the guilty who are not innocent as the harvest target. Come with "using evil to control evil."

Wendy is young and has a special status. Before reaching the Peak Realm, she cannot go to the front-line battlefield. After all, if a princess is captured by the enemy, it won't be fun.

This kind of thing has a very serious blow to the morale of the witches.

So she could only choose the second path: to crack down on sinners.

Fortunately, with her status, wanting to take this path is not difficult. She easily entered the Tribunal and then obtained the duty of an interrogator in the interrogation department.

This is undoubtedly the fastest, most stable, and most efficient means of harvesting the Three Hates.

Having entered such a desperate place as the interrogation department of the Tribunal, any normal person would inevitably breed despair, and for the interrogators in the interrogation department, how could the prisoners not hate and fear them?

Wendy originally thought that she might always be an interrogator in the interrogation department, until she had saved enough Three Hates and broke through to the Peak Realm, only then could she go to the front line for the next stage of cultivation.

But everything changed a few months ago when a big judge wearing a clown mask suddenly visited the interrogation department.

That clown big judge, who was suspected to be her sister from the same mother but different father, was undoubtedly a genius interrogator. She not only showed Wendy the art-like Lingchi torture, but in the process of adding friends and chatting occasionally, she also put forward a brand-new theory.

That was an interpretation of the source of fear.

The oldest and strongest emotion of human beings is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.

Although this sentence seems to be just a casual mention by the clown, for Wendy, it was a guidance no less than a divine revelation.

When she first heard this sentence, she even had a shock as if she had listened to the truth. She was so excited that she trembled all over, and her heart was calm for a long time.

And the more she thought about it later, the more she could realize the correctness of this sentence.

The cultivation of the Three Hates is like the Seven Deadly Sins. You don't necessarily have to cultivate everything and be omnipotent. In fact, you only need to choose one. After all, not everyone can be as talented as the Demon King.

However, Wendy hadn't determined which of Hatred, Despair, and Fear she wanted to cultivate as her main path before, but now, she realized that the path of Fear seemed more suitable for her.

To this end, she opened this Scream House with her sister Beelzebub based on the theory that fear originates from the unknown.

Hmm, so far, the progress has been very smooth. The fear power she has absorbed in these few months has exceeded the total of the two years she worked in the interrogation department before. How refreshing it is.

And the work has become much easier. Interrogation in the interrogation department is not only torture for the prisoners, but also a kind of torture for the spirit of the interrogators. This kind of long-term experience of inflicting violence on people will gradually erode the human heart, eventually turning an interrogator who was originally gentle into a violent and bloodthirsty pervert.

But now, she only needs to perform a few simple performances according to a fixed script. She doesn't need to think about anything in her heart, and everything else is left to the guests to imagine themselves.

Hmm, scaring yourself is the most fatal.

"The feeling of opening a haunted house is really not bad."

Wendy thought this in her heart.

Having just finished a business and having a beautiful meal, her mood was quite good.

The only slight regret was that the clown miss was not by her side. Otherwise, with her cooperation and cooking, the fear of those customers could be more delicious.

Holding such an idea, she prepared to welcome the next batch of guests.

It's just that...

"Uh..."

The Wendigo witch who had just walked out was stunned after seeing these new guests.

Oh my god, this batch of guests looks hard to deal with.

She hadn't seen the faces of these guests clearly yet, but she already felt the powerful magic power on them, one stronger than the other.

Good fellow, almost all big witches. Did some large organization's middle and high-level management come to my place for a team building?

Although big witches are not very rare in the Witch World, they are not exaggerated to the point of being everywhere. Even in large organizations, big witches are already at the middle and high management level.

Even Wendy herself is only at the big witch rank right now.

But it's not a big problem. There are gaps between big witches. Mastering many secret magic spells and high-level talent specialties, she has the strength to fight across levels. Even ordinary titled big witches are not necessarily her opponents. Ordinary big witches are not easily captured?

She comforted herself in her heart.

But when she focused her eyes and finally saw the faces of these few, the Wendigo miss fell silent.

"Hmm, can't take it, can't afford to offend, can't beat, sister, send the guests away, goodbye."

Good fellow, where are these customers? This is clearly here to smash the place.

The strongest aura among these people is that golden, luxurious Dragon Witch. This dress is too classic. One look and you can tell it's from Golden Township. And looking at the curled big horns on the top of the opponent's head, it's directly "Good fellow," the Huanghui Dragon Witch, the orthodox lineage of Golden Township.

And the second strongest aura is that black-haired Fallen Angel. As the daughter of the Demon King, Wendy naturally knows a lot about demons. The terror of Fallen Angels is already self-evident, not to mention that the aura on this one is clearly not an ordinary Fallen Angel.

Tsk, arrogance lineage. Did the city gate guards neglect their duty? Such a dangerous lunatic was let in without taking measures.

And besides these two, the remaining Succubus and Nine-Tailed Fox sisters—these features are too obvious. One look and they are that pair of sisters from the Enchanting Dancer and Nine-Tailed Songstress family.

These two count as her relatives after all. After all, that Enchanting Dancer is a descendant of her eldest sister's family.

And then there is that petite little witch. Although young, the magic power aura on the little one hasn't reached the 30w Mana of a big witch, but it's almost there, especially the rich blood-colored magic power on the little one—it's definitely a little princess from one of the Thirteen Vampire Clans.

Anyway, the Wendigo witch was more and more frightened as she looked. Any one of these coming alone would make her feel a bit tricky, and she could at least try it. But coming as a group, there's no way to try. Her small temple can't accommodate so many big gods.

Just as she started to think about what reason to use to refuse, her eyes aimed at the witch with the weakest aura.

That inconspicuous witch with black-rimmed glasses and braided hair.

"Uh..."

Wendy, who had originally planned to refuse, immediately changed her mind.

After the chaos of the Ancestral Court of the Angel Witches, the fact that the Tribunal's clown big judge and the Witch Academy's eldest miss were the same person had already been exposed, which caused great heat at the time. That is, now that a few months have passed, the heat has gradually declined and become cold.

But for those interested people who have been paying close attention to this matter, this impression is not so easy to fade.

Wendy naturally has been paying close attention to the clown big judge. After all, this clown miss is not only possibly her own sister but also her guide.

So, at this moment, she recognized this inconspicuous little witch at a glance.

"Clown?"

The Wendigo witch asked this through sound transmission?

And Dorothy, who was also looking at this demon princess she had met once with surprise, was also stunned when she heard the sound transmission.

Although the clown and eldest miss vests have indeed been exposed, these two vests are only highly known among the Angel Witches. Looking at the entire Witch World, it really hasn't reached the level of being known to everyone.

Besides, the combination of black-rimmed glasses and braids is indeed quite a "passerby suit." The front desk miss at the Starfire Tavern before also had the same style. This makes it even harder to distinguish.

So, if it weren't for someone who was quite familiar with her, it wouldn't be so easy to recognize her.

At the very least, after she came to Venus City, this demon princess was the first to recognize her existence.

But there's nothing to hide anyway.

"Hmm, it's me, Miss Wendigo. I didn't expect to meet you again in this place. Have you changed careers?"

Dorothy also nodded slightly and then asked through sound transmission.

They weren't very familiar, but they couldn't be called strangers either. After all, they would occasionally communicate about interrogation experience on the magic web, and the Home Witch had also shared some classic horror movie theories from her previous life with the other party.

Hmm, chatting with netizens online, isn't it just bragging hard, saying whatever comes to mind? Anyway, it's just chatting.

The Home Witch didn't know how much influence her bragging had on the other party, so she was quite confused about why this little princess of the Demon King's family would come to open a haunted house.

"Of course, it's to eat."

If someone else asked, Wendy might have to find a grand reason to cover it up, such as for research, for experiments, etc.

But for the clown miss, the Wendigo witch felt there was no need to hide it, so she answered truthfully.

"I chose Fear as my main cultivation emotion, and a haunted house is a good means of absorbing fear."

"So that's it, this is indeed quite good."

Hearing the explanation, Dorothy suddenly realized.

If someone else heard that a princess actually opened a haunted house to eat, they might feel it was a bit indecent, but the Home Witch didn't have this idea.

After all, no matter how indecent, it's more decent than her, a civil engineering witch. And heaven and earth are big, eating is the biggest. To eat a hot meal, this is not shabby.

She even appreciated this Miss Wendigo more. After all, those who do big things don't stick to trifles. This princess at least has no idol baggage and is quite approachable.

If it were herself, in order to cultivate the fear emotion of the Three Hates, she would probably choose to open a haunted house or make a horror movie.

"Then can I experience it?"

The Home Witch asked with some expectation.

After knowing the reason for the opening of this Scream House, Dorothy not only didn't feel bored, but instead became even more eager to try.

Hmm, since you've come to a haunted house, it's naturally the more terrifying and exciting, the better. Who plays a haunted house that isn't scary enough?

And now this is produced by the Demon King's princess. This is a top-tier haunted house.

Exciting.

Wendy: "..."

The Wendigo witch looked at the super luxurious lineup behind this clown miss, feeling great pressure in her heart, but finally nodded.

"Sure, but this Scream House is currently only in the initial construction and debugging stage. I haven't found a reliable construction society. I originally wanted to book that famous secluded doll maker, but she seems to have a full schedule recently and didn't take the order. With the current setup, it might not be enough to give you all a very good gaming experience."

Although she agreed, she still gave a preventive shot first.

She was telling the truth from the bottom of her heart.

Although she has ideas, and sister Beelzebub can be responsible for the script, a haunted house actually pays more attention to the strength of prop masters, mechanism masters, and architects.

She originally wanted to ask that niece of her second sister to help, but that niece has been very busy recently and has to wait in line for a while.

Dorothy: "???"

A series of question marks appeared on the Home Witch's head.

Secluded doll maker? This name sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?

Oh, isn't this my dead-otaku teacher? Good fellow, this is business at the door.

Great.

"Hmm, Miss Wendigo, I think we can talk in detail later. My teacher is indeed very busy recently. Why don't you consider me? This is our organization's business card."

Dorothy skillfully took out a luxurious business card from her pocket, then smiled, showing her white teeth, and handed it to the potential sponsor with both hands.

The Home Witch is promoting. ===== CHAPTER 759 =====
