Chapter 964: Staring into the Abyss
Demon Kingdom, Venus City, City Lord's Mansion, a sumptuous afternoon tea party was underway.
Two noble ladies, both about three or four meters tall with mature and plump figures, were enjoying snacks while chatting with each other.
"Little Sister Bachi, it's not easy for us to gather offline. Why not stay here for a few more days? If you leave, I won't even have anyone to talk to."
The charming and moving noble lady on the left said with some reluctance.
"Sister Evelyn, I really thank you for your hospitality during this time, but there will be big events on Yingzhou Island, so I must go back to deal with them. I really can't stay outside. Please forgive me. After I finish the following matters, I will come to disturb you again."
The beauty on the right, wearing a dome sun hat and a white dress, with a noble and elegant temperament, smiled like this.
"Oh, Yingzhou Island matters? Could it be that the Eldest Miss has some new moves again? Speaking of which, the Aphrodite family has been mysterious recently, seemingly preparing for something too. Do you know anything, little sister?"
The City Lord's wife asked with a curious face.
Even though she was over a thousand years old and had long been a mother, Evelyn looked like a girl in her teens at this moment. As long as she was stared at by her curious green eyes, even the most ruthless person would involuntarily feel a few strands of tenderness.
Hmm, it can only be said that she is worthy of being a Veela Witch. This charm technique has become natural and completely integrated into her daily life. If you are with her, you might get hit if you are not careful.
It's just a pity that the person opposite the City Lord's wife is not an ordinary person.
Ya Zhongzi glanced at this "curious" old friend in front of her. They had known each other for hundreds of years; how could she not know that this old woman was playing tricks again, wanting to probe for information from her?
"Sigh, before I knew it, that child Dorothy has become an incredible big shot. Her every word and action can already cause many people to investigate and analyze."
Madam Bachi thought of her cheap niece and current lord, feeling this way in her heart.
As for the surface, she also showed an apologetic expression "sincerely".
"Sister, I really don't know about this. Isn't the Eldest Miss having her birthday in the Dragon King Palace these two days? How could there be any big moves?"
"Oh, is that so?"
"Mm, it's really like that."
At the tea party, the two ladies were chatting happily on the surface, but in reality, each of them had more than eight hundred schemes in their hearts.
And this made the young witch accompanying them a bit impatient.
"Mother, Aunt Bachi, when will you take me to report to the Tribunal? I'm quite curious about that place."
Cassandra asked like this.
She also recently learned that her mother and this mysterious Aunt Bachi were both judges of the Tribunal, and they were colleagues with the Eldest Miss, who was the Clown Grand Judge.
Moreover, her mother seemed to have the intention of letting her join the Tribunal recently. Regarding this, the young werewolf witch was quite looking forward to it.
After all, that was the Tribunal.
Although the Tribunal was notorious and its bad name could stop children from crying at night, young people were always rebellious and naturally had a filter for such mysterious and dark organizations, feeling that it was very cool.
Cassandra was like this. Thinking that she could also wear a cool mask and put on that handsome black judge's battle robe to appear in front of people in the future, she was a little excited.
As a fashion model, she couldn't resist this uniform temptation at all. The cool-themed clothes she had shot in the past couldn't be compared to the real judge's uniform at all.
It's just a pity that her mother and Aunt Bachi had been comparing schemes for the past two days and hadn't really taken action to bring her into the industry, which made Cassandra very anxious.
Although she was a mixed-blood of a werewolf witch and a Veela witch, it was clear that she hadn't inherited the cunning schemes of the paternal mother in front of her; she had inherited more of the straightforwardness and generosity of her werewolf biological mother, so she was really fed up with this pair of plastic sisters in front of her.
Can't you two stop probing each other here? Isn't it better to ask directly? Blabbering on and on, hurry up and bring me into the industry.
And hearing the young person's question, the City Lord's wife and Madam Bachi in front of her suddenly had strange expressions.
The recruitment mechanism of the Tribunal mainly relied on inheritance, and neither Evelyn nor Ya Zhongzi had a successor yet. Both of them could recommend Cassandra to become a judge.
It's just that...
Hmm, for the sake of the child, it's better to change the recommender. Their reputations were not very good. If Cassandra joined as their successor, her future would be bleak.
The Grand Judges Desire and Treachery looked at each other, both thinking this way in their hearts.
And just as the two were thinking about how to explain the difficulties to the child, both of them suddenly straightened their expressions and reached into their pockets at the same time.
Not good, the Judgment Order moved. Did someone activate the summons?
The two of them quietly checked the messages received by the Judgment Order, and their expressions became serious.
The sender was Grand Judge Black Hei Wuchang.
"Cassandra, your chance has come. Listen well, hurry up and find your Fourth Aunt, and let her take you to join."
Evelyn stood up and said to her daughter like this.
Subsequently, magic power erupted from her and Ya Zhongzi, and soon the casual clothes from just now were replaced by cool and handsome Grand Judge uniforms.
"Also, little Cassandra, remember to call me sister in the future. If you call me aunt again, I will really be angry."
Madam Bachi waved her hand, summoned a gap, and said to the bewildered werewolf witch like this.
Subsequently, the two disappeared from the spot.
Cassandra: "..."
Although she was excited to witness the transformation of her mother and aunt, she was even more bewildered than excited at this moment.
"Find Fourth Aunt? Ah, this, could it be that Fourth Aunt is also...?"
The young werewolf witch widened her eyes in astonishment.
It was said that judges were everywhere. She used to think it was an exaggeration, but now she was truly convinced. It turned out that there were so many around her, and she really hadn't discovered it all this time.
But this was truly too cool, even cooler than she had imagined.
Immediately, Cassandra didn't hesitate. She bent her legs slightly, and then she couldn't care about her image anymore, rushing all the way to the training camp.
Fourth Aunt, that exercise fanatic, must still be exercising at this time.
On the other side, Hati, who was warming up in the ten-thousand-fold gravity training room, also raised her eyebrows. She let go of the dumbbells condensed from several big mountains in her hands and stood up.
At this time, she was only wearing loose sportswear and was slightly sweating. Sweat slid down from her face, then dripped onto her chest. After a difficult climb, it finally crossed the huge natural barrier and rushed down along the tight lower abdomen with eight-pack abs...
It can only be said that she is worthy of being the model wholesale family of Night City. The figure of a werewolf witch can only be described in one word: stunning.
Hati wiped her sweat with a towel while drinking water, then walked to the clothes rack on the side and took out the trembling Judgment Order from the pocket of her robe.
"Grand Judge Black Hei Wuchang?"
Just by looking at the message on the Judgment Order, the werewolf witch, who was quite calm, immediately became serious.
She snapped her fingers, and a huge stream of water fell from the sky like a waterfall, washing her clean. Then Hati shook her body like a wolf, quickly shaking off the water droplets on her body. The whole person became refreshed. Then the Grand Judge's battle robe covered her body, and she was ready to go out.
It's just that...
"Fourth Aunt, wait for me. Mother told me to find you, saying you would take me to report to the Tribunal."
The little niece's voice came from outside the door at this time.
Hati: "..."
The werewolf Grand Judge was silent for a moment and finally opened the door.
She had known long ago that her sister-in-law Evelyn was her colleague. After all, she had known her sister-in-law earlier than her eldest sister. When her eldest sister wanted to pursue Evelyn, she tried to persuade her eldest sister to give up. After all, this Veela witch was truly famous for her beauty, and her own silly eldest sister couldn't handle it.
It's a pity that her persuasion didn't have much effect. But she didn't expect that the silly eldest sister would actually succeed in the end.
Okay, actually it couldn't be counted as success. After all, the two didn't get married at all, and the one who gave birth to the child was her eldest sister herself. Maybe the eldest sister was just one of the many playthings of Evelyn, this beautiful but dangerous man-eating flower.
But the eldest sister was very satisfied with this. After all, Evelyn had been through many flowers for many years and had indeed only given birth to offspring with her. She felt that she must be special.
And regarding this, Hati expressed that she really couldn't bear to look at it.
Sigh, her eldest sister was clearly the head of a clan and the lord of a city. How could she be so humble in love?
It's just that she turned her head and thought of herself, and finally sighed.
Forget it, the fourth sister won't laugh at the eldest sister. They werewolves were really not suitable for talking about feelings.
However, although Hati had always been displeased with Evelyn, this sister-in-law, she quite liked her niece Cassandra.
"Evelyn let you come?"
She looked at her niece, who was panting but had an excited face, and asked like this.
"Mm-hmm, Mother and Aunt Bachi seemed to have received a mission just now and have already gone to the Tribunal. They let me find you, Fourth Aunt, saying you could take me to join."
Cassandra, who had rushed over at full speed, tore off the old dress that had been blown to pieces by the speed while answering like this.
Regarding this, Hati was silent for a moment, then reached into her pocket and took out an ordinary judge's battle robe and threw it to her niece, who was just in rags.
"Put it on, then follow me."
She understood the thoughts of Evelyn and Bachi in seconds.
Tsk, birds of a feather flock together. Those two were two of the four scourges of the Tribunal. Cassandra following those two was indeed inappropriate, and she did happen to have a successor quota right now.
Sigh, her quota was originally supposed to be given to her daughter Alice, but Alice had already inherited Lilith's quota, so she didn't need her.
Thinking of her daughter, the werewolf witch also felt a little lonely.
"Okay, Fourth Aunt."
Cassandra excitedly took the battle robe she had been thinking about for a long time. She put it on at light speed and then took out a black wolf mask and put it on.
This was a mask she had prepared long ago after knowing that her mother was a member of the Tribunal.
"Hee hee, rookie judge Wolf Tooth reporting."
After putting on her new equipment, the model lady saluted her Fourth Aunt in a pretentious manner.
Hati: "..."
"You'd better change your mask. The judge's identity and the real-life identity should be distinguished."
She reminded her like this, and then put on her own Blood Wolf mask.
Grand Judge Red appears.
"Uh..."
Cassandra looked speechlessly at the Blood Wolf mask on Fourth Aunt's face.
Fourth Aunt, you are double-standard, okay?
"Fourth Aunt, this is called 'under the lamp is black'. Everyone is disguised, and if I don't disguise, this is also a kind of disguise."
She quibbled like this.
Actually, she wished her identity would be exposed. After all, if the real body under this handsome battle robe wasn't exposed, how would the world know that she, Cassandra, was a judge?
Anyway, she wasn't afraid of being exposed. After all, as the young city lord of Night City, even if her identity was exposed, no one would dare to trouble her.
Besides, the Eldest Miss's identity was also exposed, okay?
Hati saw through her niece's quibbling at a glance. She shook her head slightly.
Young people.
She knew that her niece had always been quite proud. Although she did have the capital to be proud, her talent was not inferior to her own. In time, she would definitely become a new pillar of the werewolf witch clan.
It's just that, although Night City is not small, it is an artistic city after all, and it is seriously biased. There are many artistic geniuses here, but there are not many talented witches in the usual sense.
Cassandra had been in Night City and inevitably her vision had become narrow, a bit like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. It was good to let her go to the Tribunal, to see the world, and to know the real peers and geniuses. Only then could she grow better later.
"Let's go, follow me. We will meet a big shot later. You must pay attention to the rules and don't mess around, otherwise I can't protect you."
Hati didn't waste any more time. She pressed the Judgment Order on the door of the training room, opened her concept door, and finally ordered her niece, who was still a bit excited.
"Don't worry, Fourth... uh, Fourth Aunt, what is your code name again?"
Hati was speechless.
"Red. You should call me Lord Red from now on."
She said so, and then stepped into the door.
"Okay, Lord Red, who are we going to see next? Is he more powerful than you, Lord Red?"
Cassandra followed quickly, but she was even more curious.
After all, Fourth Aunt was already the number one expert in the clan. In her eyes, Fourth Aunt was an invincible existence below the Sage.
So, someone who could make Fourth Aunt respect her so much...
Wow, could it be a Sage?
Thinking of this, the werewolf girl, who had always been bold, immediately became a bit nervous.
But her nervousness didn't last long, because after crossing the door, the mysterious Tribunal appeared before her eyes. Those figures wearing masks and black battle robes made her feel very novel.
However, Cassandra was not the kind of bear child who liked to cause trouble, so she remembered Fourth Aunt's instructions just now. She just looked around curiously and didn't run around, but followed Fourth Aunt honestly.
Soon, she found that Fourth Aunt was walking to a more and more remote place, and finally came to a very deserted but exceptionally majestic station.
Netherworld.
She saw these two words written on the door of this majestic and imposing station.
Ah, this...
Fourth Aunt pushed open the door in front, and Cassandra followed behind. Soon, she discovered that this Netherworld faction station was already crowded with people, and she saw her mother's figure among them at a glance.
It's just that, compared to her mother, another figure clearly had more presence.
That was a figure with her back to the crowd.
This figure was not very tall. Anyway, compared to her three-meter height, she was short, only about 1.75 meters.
But even the presence of the many judges present seemed unable to compare with this witch.
It was like a supporting role and a protagonist in a story.
That witch was the absolute protagonist, as if a searchlight was shining on her, making her firmly occupy the absolute C-position as soon as she entered others' sight.
"This is really a big shot."
The werewolf eldest miss thought this in her heart.
Cassandra could only see her back at this time. The word "Judgment" on the cloak, which was more gorgeous and majestic than other judges, was fluttering.
"Everyone is here, so let's start. Nice to meet you, I am Black Hei Wuchang. Welcome everyone to the Netherworld faction."
After the two entered the venue, a clear voice sounded. It was the "protagonist" with her back to the crowd who spoke.
Grand Judge Black Hei Wuchang slowly turned around. Under the plain black mask on her face, a pair of strange cross pupils looked at the crowd.
At this moment, only those gradually enlarging pupils remained in everyone's eyes.
These pitch-black eyes turned into boundless darkness, swallowing everyone in an instant. Subsequently, unknown anxiety turned into fear and shrouded everyone's hearts.
Everyone could clearly feel that in this darkness, unspeakable great terror was wandering around.
You are staring into the abyss, and the abyss is also staring at you.
What kind of terrifying power is this?
Everyone is shocked...
It's broken, Qian Bao really let Senior Sister show off...
