I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 606 Unexpected Mind Ability

"Angus, Anna has weird dreams. Anna met a big funny but looking delicious white rabbit. Now, Anna really wants a roasted bunny." added Anna.

Before Angus could react to Anna's words, "Ehh.. Why are there rabbits in Anna's hand? Big sis, Hurry! Burn them!! Anna wants to eat them." said Anna excitedly.

"No!! Don't burn us. We are good rabbits." said Tootsy and Tiny in panic.

"Ehh.. Did the fluffy bubble just talk?!!" exclaimed Anna.

"Little girl, we meant no har.." said Tiny.

*BAM* Before the rabbit Tiny finishes his sentence, Anna throws the rabbits like a cannonball.

"Hmph!! Stupid Fluffy Bubbles!! Anna can't eat the talking bubble! Give Anna back the roasted rabbit!!" said Anna while throwing a tantrum.

Seeing Anna's childish act, the young couple could only shake their heads. In the meantime, the two Moon Rabbits are stuck on the wall with a serious injury. Although Anna casually throws the rabbit, her physical strength is too powerful.

Angus and Jayna ignore the poor injured rabbits and pacify the sad Anna. To restrain her gluttonous nature, the couple teaches her to not eat any talking living being or raw stuff. Hence, she feels tricked by the rabbits to give her hope after finally catching them.

After promising Anna a few roasted rabbits, they look back at the two unconscious rabbits on the wall.

"Anna, what did you think about these two rabbits?" asked Angus.

"These Stupid Fluffy Bubbles?! Stupid Fluffy Bubbles are hateful!! Meanie! Liar! Stinky!!" exclaimed Anna while badmouthing the two Moon Rabbits.

"Err… I mean did you find anything strange about these two rabbits?" asked Angus.

"Strange? Hmm…" Anna didn't reply and had a thinking pose.

"Is there something strange about them?" asked Angus warily.

"Stupid Fluffy Bubbles is not from here." replied Anna seriously.

"Not from here? What did you mean?" asked Angus.

"Stupid Fluffy Bubbles are coming from different lands." said Anna.

"How did you know about it?" asked Angus confusedly.

"Stupid Fluffy Bubbles have a different smell." replied Anna.

"Different smell?" asked Angus again.

"Yeah. Anna could smell blood not from here sticking to them." said Anna.

"Blood smell? I don't think there was another blood smell on them before." exclaimed Jayna.

"No, there is a blood smell. Anna, Big sis, and Angus also have a blood smell. Though Angus's blood smell is a little bit weird." said Anna.

"We did?" replied Jayna.

"What's wrong with the blood smell on me?" asked Angus as he had a rough guess about what she was talking about.

"Mmm.. It's not from this land but gets overpowered by the blood from here. It also has a very thick smell." said Angus.

"Hmm…  How about now?" asked Angus as he leaked a little bit of his Bloodlust.

"Ahh… It's become thicker." said Anna while burying herself in Angus's chest.

The couple knows Anna is never bothered by the smell of blood. In fact, she really enjoys getting drenched in blood. If Angus and Jayna didn't strictly teach her before, she might develop a bad habit of bathing in blood.

"I think I get what Anna is talking about." said Angus while patting Anna's head.

"Angus, what are you talking about?" asked Jayna, still confused.

"She is talking about the 'bloodlust' around them. People will develop a certain bloodlust aura after they kill a certain number of people. Without proper training and self-discipline, this bloodlust aura will change the person or even affect their psyche." said Angus.

"Really? How come I never realize this? I don't think Fire Phoenix also develops this bloodlust thing." replied Jayna.

"No, she probably knows about it. I think Fire Phoenix sealed this particular memory since it may be heavily related to her mad experience." said Angus.

"I see… Still, I don't think I have this bloodlust thing." said Jayna.

"Well, you have rigorous self-discipline, so it becomes harder to manifest. Don't worry. It will not affect your combat prowess. In fact, Bloodlust is nothing but a nuisance in some way." said Angus.

"Yeah, Big sis. It is really hateful. Sometimes, it also tries to entice and trick Anna." chimed Anna while snuggling into Angus.

"Anyway, why did you say my bloodlust is weird?" asked Angus.

"Emm… It's not come from this land. But Angus is different from the Stupid Fluffy Bubble. Mmm… It's like something that is supposed to not happen but still happens. Urgh.. Too much thinking. Anna is hungry now." said Anna.

Hearing Anna's reply, Angus knows she is probably talking about his reincarnation. He decided to not ask further. He knows that whatever brings him to his world is an unnatural force he couldn't fathom.

'It's better to ignore this matter since it will only bring more trouble.' thought Angus inwardly.

Then, they decide to focus back on the two Moon Rabbits. Angus decided to fully hold them and caged them in a special cage before reporting this matter to Aunt Extalia. He didn't forget to give Jayna a few red-striped rabbits for Anna.

To his surprise, the reproduction rate of the red-stripped rabbits is quite fast. In a few weeks, the newborns of the red-striped rabbit will turn as big as their adults.

Accompanied by Brigida and a few other guards. Angus transported the caged rabbits to the secret basement.

Along the way, "Master, I think this rabbit has some kind of illusion or mind ability." warned Brigida after glancing at the empty cage for a while.

"Did you think their invisibility is related to mind ability?" asked Angus.

"No. They have another mind-related ability besides their invisibility. I could feel people are forced to ignore their presence subconsciously. Unless someone has good control over their mind, they may ignore the rabbit even if they appear in front of them." explained Brigida.

"I see… No wonder I kept getting distracted when dealing with them before. It seems their ability is more dangerous than I thought." said Angus.

Arriving at the secret basement, "So, this is the rabbit's intruders, huh?" asked Aunt Extalia while looking at the empty cage.

"Yes. As soon as they get injured and knocked out, they turn invisible. Fortunately, I already have a special mark on their bodies. Still, their stealth ability is very troublesome. It seems they have some sort of power to make others ignore them." said Angus.

"I only found this after being told by Brigida on the way here. Since her artifact is related to the mind, she is sensitive to this kind of stuff. I think they are like natural-born spies or assassins." added Angus.

"That's certainly a troublesome ability. So, how is their condition?" asked Aunt Extalia.

"They are still unconscious from the injury, but I already gave them some treatment. They will be in no danger." said Angus.

"Good. I already called a few interrogators to help you collect information. Also, let Brigida accompany you. We need someone to monitor them without being affected by their special ability. I want this matter done as soon as possible." said Aunt Extalia.

"Sure. I will keep you informed about them." said Angus.

After giving a few other instructions, Aunt Extalia leaves Angus and the others alone with the scary-face interrogator. Most of them are from the Extermination Squad that stays in the Fortress. As Angus and the others interrogate the rabbits, Lily arrives at the Fortress.

Passing the small gate in the Fortress, Lily immediately gives the bound and sealed little turtle to the nearby guards that were already informed. Then, she walked deeper into the Fortress until she reached Her father's private room.

After writing a complex rune password with mana on the door, she enters the room. Inside the room, A skeleton wearing a long cloak sits on the table while reading a book.

"Ohh.. Lily, It's good you finally come back." said Benjamin.

"Father, there is something important that I need to tell you." said Lily in a serious tone.

"Hmm??" replied Benjamin in confusion.

Despite his confusion, the old researcher still activates some barriers in the room and completely isolates them.

"Alright, you could speak freely now." said Benjamin after casting a few more barrier spells.

"The turtle gave me some items after I 'saved' him from getting flipped over. Most of these items are rare and precious, but I also find 'that' among them." said Lily.

"That?! You don't mean…" replied Benjamin as he guessed what Lily meant to say.

"Yes. It is that thing that I protected for a thousand years." clarified Lily.

"No way!! Are you sure it's 'that'?" asked Benjamin.

"Yes, Father. Although I didn't have too much self-consciousness back then, I could still remember that thing inside my body. Don't worry. It is not exactly that thing. Just similar." replied Lily.

Hearing this, Benjamin holds his head in frustration as if he remembers some bad memory.

"Father, did you think others make it?" asked Lily and woke Benjamin from his thoughts.

"Probably. Theoretically, anyone could make it if they gathered all the ingredients and processed it without mistake. However, I am sure you know it is difficult to gather and process the ingredients. It is not called the pinnacle of alchemy for nothing." replied Benjamin.

"Did you bring it with you?" asked Benjamin.

"Yes. Did father want to see it?" asked Lily but still not taking out the item.
