Chapter 778: Demon Appears
"What's the situation? How is this possible?"
In the next instant after Grandma Sheep announced the voting results, Dorothy shouted in shock in her heart.
However, on the surface, although she also revealed a surprised and unexpected expression, she didn't lose her composure because of this.
The Home Witch just cast her gaze toward Grandma Sheep, and just right, Grandma Sheep was also looking at her at this moment, and the two looked at each other.
Usually, Grandma Sheep's glasses always reflected light, blocking the cold and evil sheep pupils under her glasses. But this time, the glasses unexpectedly didn't reflect light, and Dorothy saw the smile in her eyes.
"Little naughty thing, do you think Grandma has lived for so many years in vain?"
Dorothy clearly read such meaning from Grandma Sheep's eyes.
Screwed, ginger is still old and spicy.
In an instant, the Home Witch understood that her previous investigation of infiltrating the Director's Office had already been exposed. It was possible that the information she obtained in the Director's Office was also deliberately shown to her by Grandma Sheep.
She thought the person about to be "out of the pen" was herself, but she didn't expect Grandma Sheep to be on the second floor. Who knew if the voting box placed on the desk was real or fake?
Moreover, she also suddenly thought of the fact that Little Fei, Little Lan, and other sheep suddenly tried to infiltrate the Director's Office after she and Audrey left in the afternoon. Why did they also want to go to the Director's Office?
Was it also to investigate something like her? Or was it just the nature of children being curious and loving adventure? Or were they aiming for something in the Director's Office, such as the voting box?
Is there a possibility that they voted for someone in the morning, but regretted it in the afternoon, so they wanted to modify it before the voting results were announced?
Dorothy's brain turned rapidly, and then she looked up at the scene, which was clearly a farewell party, but the atmosphere wasn't happy at all.
Most of the other lambs were lowering their heads, while Little Fei, Little Lan, and other sheep who tried to infiltrate the Director's Office and were beaten up had complex expressions of regret and reluctance, and unwillingness.
Ah, this... actually, not a single sheep expressed surprise at this result?
Dorothy was dumbfounded. She realized that her speculation might have been right.
Hmm, if everyone had voted for Little Mei in the morning, then naturally there would be nothing to be surprised about this result.
At most, it was just regret like Little Fei and Little Lan.
It was just that why did this group of sheep all vote for Little Mei? Didn't they all like Little Mei? Then if they hated someone, shouldn't they hate her, who snatched Little Mei away? Why did they choose to "get rid of" Little Mei instead of "getting rid of" her?
Dorothy couldn't...
Fine, she pondered for a while, and actually understood it, and then was silent.
Sigh, children can be kind in their purity, and they can also be evil in their purity.
To put it bluntly, before their worldview is completely established, children are actually not much different from wild beasts and livestock. What dominates their actions is more the bestiality and desire that suppress rationality.
The unknown makes people afraid, but ignorance can make people brave.
Adults might weigh the pros and cons when doing something, whether it's worth the risk, etc., but children are fearless because of ignorance. They often have amazing action, doing whatever they think of, and don't think too much. This is much braver than adults who are hesitant.... Although this reckless bravery is generally called rashness.
And what reaction will a reckless person have when they see something they once cherished being easily taken away by others?
They will feel offended and furious, will try to snatch the thing back, and if they can't snatch it back, at least they have to destroy it.
If I can't get it, no one can.
This is the original sin called jealousy.
Dorothy suddenly felt a bit cold. She had never felt fear for the sheep-eating demon in this Lamb Yard, but at this moment, this original sin from the lambs made her feel a bit chilled.
She suddenly realized a problem, which was that these lambs might not necessarily know the truth of the "Adoption Day," but they were probably very clear that the voting on the adoption day was a good way to eliminate the most unwelcome companion in the sheep flock.
If the sheep-eating demon is the execution tool for the death penalty, then these lambs who look like children are the judges who pronounce the death penalty.
They don't know the consequences that their casual vote might cause, but it is precisely because of this ignorance that they are so decisive and impulsive when voting.
And if one day, when these lambs grow up, know more, or discover the truth of the Lamb Yard, and know the cruelty of "adoption," then...
Fine, hesitant lambs probably wouldn't live until that day. The lambs that could survive and grow up smoothly under this constant elimination rule definitely wouldn't be stupid sheep. They might have long been suspicious of this adoption rule during their gradual growth, but compared to the unknown risks of questioning and resistance, they might prefer self-protection and using the rules.
Dorothy looked at Grandma Sheep and the nursing sheep behind her, realizing that this was the winner of the previous round of the lamb game. Especially Grandma Sheep, who could become the director, she must be the most intelligent and cunning one in the sheep flock.
"Tsk, I'm not wronged for being calculated like this."
The Home Witch mocked herself like this.
Although she felt she was still quite intelligent and could barely be considered a smart person, her growth environment in both lives was considered comfortable. Even if she was an orphan in her past life, she had various care from other relatives and friends. She suffered a bit, but at least she wasn't lacking in love. Where had she experienced this kind of human sinister nature?
This time, it was a loss of experience.
Learned, learned. Thank you, Grandma Sheep, for this lesson. I will definitely use this experience in the next time.
Dorothy reflected on herself like this.
The Home Witch finally turned her head to look at Audrey beside her.
This Junior Sister was originally socially anxious and afraid of people. This time, she experienced the sinister nature of the human heart so deeply. Dorothy was a bit worried about whether the child's spirit could bear it.
It was just that what surprised her was that for this result, Audrey actually accepted it unexpectedly quickly, and even didn't have much surprise.
"???"
Dorothy looked at Audrey with some doubt and worry, suspecting that this Junior Sister had become stupid because of the big blow.
However, Audrey actually took out the paper and pen she carried with her and comforted her Senior Sister instead.
"Senior Sister, you don't have to care too much about me. I'm not surprised by such a result. After all, I am a demon witch. No one knows demons better than demon witches."... The little fox even revealed a warm smile.
Well, for her, who had the talent of the Source of Desire, she had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, you wouldn't think that only adults would have desires for her, right?
In fact, the desires of adult witches are nothing more than that bit of colored stuff, but the desires and fantasies of children are even more frightening.
Schools for minors have always been the highest-incidence areas for bullying, and maybe there isn't even one of them.
If little witches were all so pure and flawless, Audrey wouldn't have had a single friend of the same age by the time she grew up.
For the current situation, the little fox had long been mentally prepared, so she wrote herself in the vote at the beginning. It was just that her Senior Sister, who was always intelligent, had actually misjudged this time.
Dorothy: "..."
The Home Witch suddenly had a sense of frustration. She thought she could always protect this Junior Sister well, but she didn't expect that she was comforted by her Junior Sister instead this time.
"Alright, Senior Sister, I'm not that kind of little witch who is really fragile and needs protection. I'm also very powerful, okay? Hmm, watch how I beat up that bad demon tomorrow."
Looking at her Senior Sister's dejected look, Audrey was a bit panicked. She wrote while hand-waving, and tried to show the non-existent biceps on her thin arms.
Looking at the little fox like this, Dorothy also reorganized her mood, then thought for a while, and finally reached out to her skirt.
"Then you take this first."
The Home Witch opened the restraint and buckled it directly on her Junior Sister's neck.
Hmm, a Mei Yangyang wearing a collar is actually quite suitable, and it's not too inconsistent. It was just that Audrey was startled by her Senior Sister's action. The little fox was still thinking about whether this Senior Sister was playing a bit too fancy. And although she liked her Senior Sister very much, she already had Chi-Barrier, so this really wasn't allowed.
But before the fox sheep, who was knowledgeable, had rich theoretical experience, and was proficient in all kinds of strange py, could think too much, she was stunned, and also received the information about the equipment.
"Senior Sister, this..."
Audrey, who realized the preciousness of this thing, just wanted to take off the collar, but Dorothy stopped her.
"You take this first. After all, you will likely face the demon tomorrow. It's always good to have more means of self-protection. You also said that you want to beat that bad demon up."
The Home Witch also remembered that this Junior Sister, who was soft and cute on weekdays, was not a weakling. In fact, she was much better at fighting than her weakling Senior Sister.
Of course, now that she had lost her mana and witch body, it was indeed she, the Martial God, who was relatively stronger. But Audrey was also a Martial Saint proficient in orc martial arts and Heavenly Demon Dance.
As long as the gap in physical fitness was made up, the little fox could also give that sheep-eating demon a big surprise tomorrow.
Hearing Dorothy's words, the little fox thought for a while, and didn't continue to be brave. She obediently wore this collar, and then looked at the Home Witch with eyes that said "I like Senior Sister the most."
And next, this farewell banquet, which wasn't happy at all, was still held as usual.
This was indeed as Dorothy had hoped earlier, various delicious tastes were served. It was just a pity that the Home Witch had no mood to taste these delicacies anymore.... "Little Shuai, can you come over for a moment?"
Just when the Home Witch was tasting this failed taste bitterly like chewing wax, someone suddenly came to her side and said so.
Dorothy looked up and saw another beautiful sheep face.
Hmm, although she was a bit worse than Audrey, she was at least a beautiful little ewe who could compete with Grandma Sheep when she was young. She was definitely a beauty among sheep.
In fact, this little ewe probably did have the style of Grandma Sheep when she was young. She was the backbone of the lambs in this Lamb Yard.
"Little Xi? What are you looking for me for?"
The Home Witch said in an unfriendly tone.
After realizing that this group of lambs might not be as cute as they looked, she really couldn't be friendly.
However, after finishing speaking, she sighed again, still stood up, and followed Little Xi to the side.
It didn't make much sense to be angry with this group of lambs. After all, strictly speaking, it wasn't them who were wrong, but this entire Lamb Yard and the sheep-eating demon. These little sheep were also victims.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
Walking to the other side of the restaurant, Little Xi stopped, and Dorothy urged her impatiently like this.
"Nothing much, just want to remind you that it's best to stay away from Little Mei."
Little Xi said with a blank face.
Hmm, her cold style really had the flavor of Grandma Sheep's photo when she was young.
It was just...
"Oh, just this? That doesn't need your reminder."
Dorothy was also speechless. It's already this time, what's the point of you little ewe still telling me this? Tomorrow Little Mei will be "out of the pen" by you personally. You are still fighting for jealousy here?
The Home Witch shook her head helplessly and turned to leave.
And when she walked halfway, she frowned again, turned around, and looked at Little Xi, who was still standing in place, looking at her calmly.
This little ewe's cold look didn't look like the type to fight for jealousy either.
Just like that, this farewell banquet, which should have been a bit lively, ended. After the scene dispersed, Dorothy and Audrey returned to the dormitory together.
Next was the final rest time. It was just a pity that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
The little fox tonight didn't fall asleep directly like last night. Maybe she was indeed a bit nervous, so the two talked for a long time and said quite a lot.
Until near midnight, Audrey finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep in a daze.
And Dorothy came to the spiritual communication ritual set up in front of the mirror. Soon, she saw ripples appearing on the mirror surface.
It was just that, unlike the scene last night where one was terrified and one was smiling, tonight the front and back of the mirror reflected the same serious face.
"I found the demon's shepherd. It's Grandma."
In the mirror, Adi said so.
And Dorothy nodded.
"So? What are you planning to do?"
She asked so.
And Adi didn't speak, just silently lifted her red cloak, revealing the rusty axe that had been hidden all along.
"So, you are planning to get rid of Grandma for Little Mei? That's your own grandmother."
Dorothy asked so.
And being asked this, Adi immediately became irritable.
"Then what do you say we should do? The one who clearly said that getting rid of the demon's shepherd could banish the demon was also you."
To this, the Home Witch was also silent for a while, and then she adjusted the angle of the mirror, letting the mirror also shine on Audrey's bed on the side.
Afterward, Dorothy also raised her axe, and in the terrified eyes of Adi opposite the mirror, she swung the axe around at the sleeping Mei Yangyang, and then slashed down fiercely.
*Clang*
A metallic collision sound rang out. The sleeping beauty sheep on the bed reached out and calmly pinched the axe, then opened her eyes, looking at the cold-faced Home Witch with a charming smile.
"My good Senior Sister, when did I reveal my flaw?"
The sheep-eating demon giggled, her voice full of curiosity mixed with pleasure.
Demon in curiosity.
The power of the God of Sloth is growing day by day, terrifying. ===== CHAPTER 779 =====
