Chapter 125: Don't Come Near Me, Succubus!
Instead of investigating the background of Miss Plump Sheep's father, the most important thing to do right now was to find a way to rescue Luciene.
The group composed of victims or their family members had good intentions, but the moment they got involved with the Hidden Leader, their fate took a turn for the worse.
Maybe they could witness the deaths of the treasury officials and others in the war, but what about themselves...
Loria had once sided with the Hidden Leader and she believed that these people, who treated human lives as worthless, were no better than the treasury officials.
In the simulation, they were willing to help the white feline creature, surely there must be a bigger plan behind it.
After turning off the simulator, Loria didn't hurry to go to sleep. Instead, she helped the guildmaster wash her beautiful, golden hair.
As for taking a bath, she didn't need help. the guildmaster couldn't move her legs, not her hands.
If it wasn't for her insistence, the guildmaster could easily wash her hair by herself.
A quiet night.
The next day, Loria woke up early.
Just as the simulator said, she brought Doris to Miss Plump Sheep's house bright and early.
After a simple check-up, Dr. Mara invited Loria and Doris to go to the laboratory together.
The strange appearance on Doris seemed to spark Dr. Mara's interest. Her furrowed brow closely resembled Loria's expression when she used to get stumped by math tests in a previous life.
Loria looked worried and said, "Doctor, I have other things to do this afternoon, so maybe..."
"Coming to see me again in the evening is not a problem," said Dr. Mara.
"Thank you, doctor!"
Loria let out a breath.
For her, this was the best outcome.
Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to easily let go of Dr. Mara. After all, the rewards for special events were really desirable.
Since Dr. Mara willingly postponed the time, she naturally had to make good use of this opportunity.
"You have to be able to handle both, be strong in both!"
Loria turned back enthusiastically to find Luciene.
The practice session last night had already shown her the way. Although there were many people standing around the villa at this time, but that white feline creature (??) could sneak in and take Luciene away. There was no reason why she couldn't sneak in.
The situation was just as she had imagined.
The finance minister at that time hadn't focused his attention on Luciene yet. The reporters surrounding the villa were just ordinary people, walking around the villa and sometimes showing gaps.
Taking advantage of the gap, Loria easily slipped into the house.
However, an unexpected event occurred while climbing through the window.
"..."
"..."
They locked eyes.
Loria, along with the sudden appearance of the white feline creature, stood frozen in place.
Great!
The white cat-like creature quickly pounced towards Loria.
Loria wanted to explain, but the other person didn't give her a chance, so she had to fight back with all her strength.
When she unleashed her full power, she was already able to handle a slightly capable C-level adventurer. Dealing with this woman in front of her was a piece of cake.
"Bang, bang, bang -"
After fiercely grappling the woman, Loria repeatedly slapped the mischievous white cat-like creature on the head.
Scratching people, you like scratching people, huh?
"Don't make a racket. Don't you want your infiltration to go unnoticed by others?"
"Mmm, mmm - "
Just as her angry shout was about to rise, Loria lowered her voice once again and said, "My goal is the same as yours, to rescue Luciene. If you scream here, Luciene will be locked inside forever. Although the Treasury Chancellor's attention is not on this right now, he will eventually come looking for trouble for Luciene."
The white feline creature stopped struggling.
She looked at Loria with fear in her eyes.
At that moment, Loria finally got a clear look at her appearance.
Overall, she looked very young, probably in her early twenties.
Her features were soft, perhaps too soft, giving off a vulnerable and easy-to-bully impression.
Her round ears were completely different from Doris's, suggesting she wasn't a purebred cat.
"Could it be a white tiger?"
Loria examined her from head to toe.
If that's the case, they have something in common, after all, she is also white...
Done.
Now is not the time to fuss over such matters. If you want to gain the complete trust of this white tiger girl, you must rely on Luciene.
Loria grabbed the white tiger girl and slipped into the house through the window.
She didn't intentionally eliminate the sound of her footsteps, so the extremely vigilant Luciene quickly noticed something unusual.
Luciene, wearing pajamas, gripped the freshly dismantled clothes pole, trembling with fear as she cautiously made her way out of the bedroom.
When she saw that the person appearing in the corridor was Loria, great joy surged in her heart. She threw the clothes pole and rushed towards Loria directly.
"Loria！"
But in the end, they still couldn't hug each other.
In the moment when she was about to hug Loria, Luciene noticed the white tiger girl being pulled behind Loria.
She immediately stopped.
Originally, she wanted to show Loria her broad-mindedness as a mature older sister, but it's a pity.
"Who is this?"
Luciene asked with confusion.
Loria quickly introduced the situation of the white tiger girl.
The white tiger girl also started introducing herself, "My name is Liya. I am a Tiger Person. I came here..."
She explained her purpose, which coincided with what Loria saw in the simulation.
Right after she finished speaking, Loria immediately said, "I came here today to take you outside and hide for a while."
"Hide?"
Luciene was a little confused.
Loria said, "The mastermind behind the slave trafficking organization is cruel and ruthless. Although he hasn't caused you trouble yet, he will definitely send someone to assassinate you soon, in case you know the truth."
"Um..." Luciene's face changed over and over again, but since she had experienced the sudden death of her husband, she quickly regained her calm. "But by doing this, it will once again drag you into trouble."
Loria shook her head. "I was already involved in trouble when I was in Creek Town. This is nothing. Pack your things quickly. We're leaving now. The security department will come over later."
"Ah, okay."
It's nice to be able to escape with Loria.
Luciene excitedly went back to her room to pack her luggage.
During this process, Liya was completely left aside, but she didn't show any feelings.
She only came here because she didn't want to see Luciene being tortured by the finance minister. Now that someone more powerful is taking Luciene away, what else does she have to worry about?
As for getting hit on the head before, it can only be considered as self-inflicted.
"I'm leaving first."
Liya said goodbye to Loria.
Just as she turned around, Loria suddenly called out to her.
"There's an old saying where I used to be, it goes 'Don't judge others without experiencing their troubles.'"
"Hmm?"
Liya looked at Loria with a blank expression.
Loria was also conflicted.
Because she had already witnessed Liya's shouting in the simulation, trying to persuade her now would be pointless. But she still felt she needed to say something.
Some things, even if you know you shouldn't do them, you will still regret if you don't do them later.
"I have found out about your secrets. You don't need to know how I found out, and it won't threaten you. What I want to say is, if possible, don't work with the Hidden Leader." Loria looked serious, her bright red eyes exuding bewitching magic. "The people of the Hidden Leader control the power of two evil gods. They should be considered evil gods. They are not saviors. On the contrary, they are plunderers. The evil they have done is no less than that of the treasurer. Working with them will plunge yourself into a deeper abyss."
These words made Liya extremely angry.
She took a step back, her furrowed brows forming a letter "王," and the white "scratches" on her cheeks formed a cluster.
"Who are you exactly?"
Loria continued to speak to herself, "You all gathering together, is it not just for revenge? Surely you also hope that no one else, including yourselves or your loved ones, will have to go through the sufferings you have experienced. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here today. Working with the Hidden Leader indeed has a high probability of achieving revenge, but after revenge, you may have to face even more terrible torments. Doesn't such a future go against your wishes?"
"..."
Liya remained silent.
Loria said, "I can't think of a better solution for now, but as the situation changes, perhaps there will be more options. You can consider what I said seriously."
Liya nodded, instead of arguing with Loria like she did in the simulation, she turned her head and walked away directly.
Loria also didn't know if she understood.
She couldn't care about this now, she had too much to do.
Discovering another opportunity, she quietly took Luciene and left the villa.
But before leaving, she deliberately caused some damage in the bedroom and gave Luciene's hand a poke, leaving behind a few drops of blood. This should be enough to mislead the finance minister and his associates.
"Huh?"
The place where Loria temporarily rented.
Pushing the door open, Luciene suddenly froze upon seeing the guildmaster sitting in a wheelchair.
She thought she was going to live with Loria, so she brought some clothes and her beloved toys.
So, living together is living together, but why is it three people living together?
What else can three people living together do?
Escaping from the cage of the proprieter, Luciene thought she was about to welcome a completely new life.
But, several days passed and she still felt restricted everywhere.
"Who is she?"
"Guildmaster Adeline, the subdivision guildmaster of Creek Town Adventurers Management Guild. She is a close senior and also my swordsmanship teacher. Lady Luciene, don't worry, the guildmaster is completely trustworthy!"
In the room, only Loria was smiling brightly, while Adeline, sitting in a wheelchair, was now confused.
She gently stroked her golden hair to calm her restless heart.
She didn't expect things to turn out like this because Loria never mentioned bringing another unfamiliar woman to live with them.
But she is no longer the impulsive and easily angered person she was in her teens.
Before having a deep conversation with Loria, she remained calm like water, able to calmly perceive everything in her eyes.
Now, there was some ripples on the water's surface, but these ripples were not enough to make her lose control.
"There are only two beds here, you can sleep in my bed, I'll sit on the wheelchair."
Luciene hadn't spoken yet, and Loria spoke first, saying, "How can this be?"
It would be too much to let Luciene sleep in the guildmaster's bed.
"Sleep in my bed, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to come back normally at night these days."
And with that, the decision was made.
Loria told Lucy to live peacefully and confidently, then she led Doris to go find Dr. Mara.
Inside the room.
Luciene looked at the guildmaster with an embarrassed face.
"Let me put your things down for you," the guildmaster offered first.
Luciene promptly held the bag close to her heart.
If Adeline saw all the colorful toys inside the bag, her life would probably be over.
"No need to bother, I can do it myself."
...
Checking the body is a boring and tedious wait.
Loria, who already knew the result, kept her gaze on Dr. Mara's oversized white coat.
"How can I communicate with her?"
I can't deceive Dr. Mara and get close to her like in the simulation.
Thinking about the guildmaster still being at home, Loria felt that she couldn't do this.
When she came out, she told the guildmaster that she came here to do serious things. If she ended up on the bed while working, it would really betray the guildmaster's trust.
Although just thinking about that made her uncomfortably fidget her legs and consider wearing a diaper for emergencies, she definitely couldn't do it.
"I'm not a succubus controlled by instincts. I am Loria, who can endure even more than the first Shame-Powered Female Warrior!"
Loria decided to try a different approach.
Wanting to seduce Dr. Mara and make her serve her didn't necessarily have to involve the bed.
The first time she met Dr. Mara in the simulation, she didn't get close to her, but still successfully captivated Dr. Mara.
Even that time, Dr. Mara humbly kissed her toes, shouting that she was the master, willingly offering her body to her.
Loria thought carefully and believed that Dr. Mara became like that because Loria's presence disrupted Dr. Mara's "understanding," causing her whole perspective to crumble.
These researchers are usually very clever, far beyond the understanding of ordinary people. But because of this, if they get stuck on something, the consequences can be extremely severe.
Loria decided to step forward and "subdue" Dr. Mara, just like in the first simulation.
Isn't it just getting excited by being studied, with the water under her feet being much heavier than her own weight?
Just endure it for a little while, and it will pass.
Suddenly, Loria asked, "Doctor, are you studying magic?"
Dr. Mara, while operating the equipment, said, "Instead of saying we are studying magic, it is better to say we are studying the resonance between magic and the human body."
Loria then asked, "Doctor, have you conducted experiments on human bodies?"
Dr. Mara paused and gazed at Loria, looking bewildered.
Loria's eyes lit up, and her breathing became heavy. She said, "Doctor, I think I can help you. My body is very special. If you study me, maybe you can make a major breakthrough."
"Ah, this?"
Dr. Mara was completely bewildered by Loria's sudden actions.
It was too strange.
In just a few seconds, Loria completely transformed in her eyes.
What puzzled her even more was that Loria walked straight towards her. Her petite yet unusually curvaceous body came closer and closer, and she even felt the temperature rising in the air.
"Doctor, I am your fan. The reason I came to you wasn't just to ask for help with Doris. I want you to study me. I hope I can make a huge contribution to your research."
"No, I..."
Dr. Mara wanted to explain a little, but right at that moment, she suddenly realized with a feeling of great fear that she couldn't move at all, her hands and feet felt as if they were filled with heavy metal.
She suddenly raised her head and saw Loria's face turning as red as a ripe apple, exhaling a very bitter white mist, and her eyes even transformed into heart shapes like a succubus.
"You... don't come near me, you succubus!"
But no matter how much Dr. Mara shouted, Loria still went up to her and grabbed her hand.
"Annoying, I'm not a succubus. Stop hesitating and come study me!"
