Chapter 143 Gratitude.
Chapter 143 Gratitude.
The hostages were mostly girls who were captured by them and used. They had been suffering here for many days. Every night is played by these criminals. They were slowly losing their rationality.
Among them was a woman named Shu Ming. She was not from this country but came here for a tour. But after the apocalypse, she was captured by them. She suffered every day at the hands of those despicable dogs.
She wanted to return to her family but after being abused by them for several days. She gave up on the hope of escaping from here. If only she had also awakened. She was just a normal person. Which made her even more powerless.
After being abused for so many days. She just wanted to end this miserable life. Her only regret was dying without getting any revenge.
Her eyes were hollow she was thinking of ending her life. Her whole body was covered in bruises. Her clothes were torn. But she didn't care in the slightest. Now they were being kept in the hall. After losing all her hope and her head hanging low, she heard a loud bang at the door.
She was startled.
What was going on?
At that time she couldn't have believed that there was still some hope for her to survive. But she didn't care about that. What she wanted was revenge and she was about to get it.
***
Suddenly smashing the door wide open.
"Who are you? You are not allowed to enter here." A man in black clothes asked. At that time he as was holding two girls in his hands. While his dishonest hands were all over them.
Seeing Alice entering so arrogantly followed by two of his brothers he frowned. Their condition didn't look good. One was limping with the support of another while another couldn't see.
'What happens to them?' Before asking about their condition he decided to ask about this beauty. (That's his priority.)
"Who is she? Why did you bring her here?" He had never seen her before. Such a beautiful girl of course he would remember such a face. He wanted such a woman for himself. But he should first know who she is.
"SHE IS AN ENEMY. KILL HER." Glasses shouted with all his might. He didn't care about his condition. He just wanted Alice to die. After all, she had made him blind.
Baldy wanted to stop him. Because he had seen Alice's immense strength just now. She killed five of them in a flash. If this continued they all with die. But it was too late for him.
The book in Alice's hands floated in the air and the next second she transformed. Crimson red eyes, sharp as a Phoenix. Silky black hair with shades of red. Everything happened in a flash.
By the time they snapped out of it.
"Kill her."
They heard one word from her. Which was their final death sentence.. word.
"Arise."
Black energy concentrated like a puddle and black figures appeared from their shadows.
They were Soul Servants.
So before any of them could even use their ability. Many weapons were plunged into them by those summons'
Those were the same weapons, Shin had purchased in Golden Plaza.
Anyway, they died.
All the hostages were shocked and speechless. They were tortured here for days and couldn't do anything to fight back.
And now the sudden appearance of this woman. She just came and killed them in seconds.
Shu Ming at that time.
'They died? Just like that.'
'What about my revenge?'
'Such easy death.'
Although she had some complaints in her heart. She had a feeling that even if she die now she won't regret it.
Her gaze went all over Alice. A cold aura was surrounding her. She felt as if she keep staring at those red eyes. She might even peek at her soul.
It can be said Shu Ming's intuition was great.
Shu Ming felt a surge of weird feelings inside her as she looked at Alice.
'What is this excitement?'
Alice felt her gaze and glanced at her.
Her heart trembled but she was even more excited. Suddenly Alice's voice snapped her out of her delusions.
"Are there other hostages too?" Alice wanted to know if everyone was there. Shin had told her the location of the hostages a few minutes ago. In this period they may be taken somewhere.
Just as she expected.
"Yes, two girls are not here." A timid little girl mustered her courage and stood up. She was a little afraid of Alice. But she was also grateful to her. Because she had killed those bad people.
"I see, don't worry I'll save them too. You guys will follow my instructions and evacuate from here." Although Alice's words were domineering. All the girls only felt warmth in their hearts.
They had suffered so much and thought they could never escape this fate. But now Alice appeared and finished these guys in seconds. They did not doubt in their hearts. They trusted her with their lives. After all, she was their only hope.
Or else they are destined to suffer here. Being used as *** slaves.
Alice summoned Mia and asked her to heal their wounds. Mother Mia, didn't sit still and used her advanced healing magic. Showing its utmost potential.
She had been watching everything from inside her Soul Space. When she saw the condition of those girls her heart ached.
"Wow,"
The appearance is Mia gave them a warm feeling of comfort. Then the green light passed through them healing their wounds and comforting their pain.
Although the physical wounds can be healed, their minds were broken after being abused so much. It can be healed with her magic. Only time can lessen their pain.
"Wh-What? What is this?"
"My wounds disappeared."
"Same here."
"All my bruised are gone."
"The scar on my face healed."
The faces were full of gratitude. Some of these girls started crying.
As Alice was in her dark mode she doesn't show much of a reaction and looked pretty indifferent to them.
She summoned a few more Soul Servants and Mr. Robin. She asked them to follow the planned route.
Alice had killed most of the people in this building and the nearby ones. Now she will go follow the plan to the main building and meet up with Jenny and Celeste.
But before that.
Alice turned back to look at Baldy and Glasses. They wanted to run but they couldn't escape her in their current state.
They didn't believe they could escape even in their best condition.
When Blady saw a white humanoid figure healing those hostages. His eyes shined. Maybe there was a chance for him to walk again on his legs.
When Glasses asked him, he didn't hide anything. Glasses was even more shocked.
Could it be possible to heal his eyes too?
But the person who can heal them was also the same person who hurt them.
'I don't even know if we will survive now. How can I hope to get healed by her?' Blady shook his head in grief.
Although his comrades died he doesn't care much now. His suffering was already too much.
Glasses couldn't help but be afraid now. He was hoping to get his eyes healed but just a moment ago he asked those men to kill her. He had shown how much hostility he had. There's no hope for him. He will surely die.
"You two come over here," Alice ordered.
When those hostages saw those guys limping toward Alice. They hoped Alice will torture them. Their resentment was at its peak. But Alice's next words dumbfounded them.
"I'll give you two options."
"Either you die after I torture you to my heart's content."
Both of them suffered at the thought. Just what kind of torture? But her next words confused them
"Or you become my slave after your die."
She said in a flat tone.
Baldy and Glasses, both had confused and fearful expressions on their faces.
The first option was simple. Torture and death. They can't even imagine what kind of torture will this ruthless woman give them. Were they not suffering already?
As for the second option, it was ambiguous. Slave after death. What does that mean? How can they become her slave if they die?
They were so confused that they couldn't choose any. Although the first option is an absolute no, the second one makes them hesitant. Her vague words made them even more terrified.
When those girls heard about torturing them they hoped from the bottom of their hearts that those two choose the first option.
They wanted to see them suffer. As Alice skins them alive. Tearing their flesh, crushing their bones, and burning their wounds.
They urged those two to immediately chose the first one.
Under so much pressure Glasses couldn't think rationally. In the fear of torture, he immediately chose to become a slave. Being a beautiful lady's slave is not that bad. But.
"My lady, If I were to be your slave. Would you heal my eyes?" Glasses asked in utmost respect. In the hopes of being able to see again, he became numb to pain.
"Of course," Alice replied.
"Okay, then I will be your slave from now on."
Hearing this response Alice glanced at Baldy in the side. He bit his lips. In the hopes of getting his leg.
"I-I am willing too."
Alice smirked and immediately raised her hand.
"Okay, then the contract is done."
[Soul Contract established.]
