Chapter 149: Eating Chicken

Vanessa thought to herself:

Mother has recovered and hasn't eaten for a few days. I'll ask the cook to stew a chicken to nourish her body. It's time for her to eat and go out to stretch her muscles.

Yuanyuan must be very happy to know this news. I'll wake him up and the three of us will stroll in the yard.

Then Vanessa happily took out the key from her pocket and inserted it into the steel lock on the chain. She twisted her palm and the steel lock was unscrewed with a crisp sound of "click".

But before she pulled out the key, Vanessa's body was stiff, her pretty face was pale, and she slowly raised her head, "Mother..., mother, you just said that you smelled the blood of the cook after she killed the chicken, but we are on the 5th floor, and the kitchen is on the first floor."

"Hehehehehe!" I saw that the apple muscles on Mrs. Amara's face pulled out an exaggerated smile, shook her body and easily broke free from the steel locks on her body, and casually threw them aside with her arms,

"My good daughter, I did smell it. I haven't eaten for many days, and the fresh and delicious chicken blood is waiting for me-to suck it!"

"Ah!" Vanessa's mind went blank, and she couldn't help screaming.

At this time, she realized that the evil spirit had never been eliminated, but was just deceiving herself to open the chain.

Fortunately, her "mother" didn't seem to want to hurt her, at least not now.

The lady's torso flipped back softly, her back down, her limbs on the ground, and her body joints creaked.

She twisted her neck left and right, and her messy hair was about to fall on the bed.

Then she quickly climbed up the wall with her hands and feet, and soon climbed to the ceiling.

The two maids outside the door heard the cry and opened the door.

They only felt that their eyes went dark, and a figure with disheveled hair quickly passed by the door frame.

The figure was very fast, like a spider, shuttling between the ceiling and beams of the corridor, and disappeared at the stairs in a blink of an eye.

A maid immediately ran into the room and saw the panicked girl, and hurriedly said: "Miss Vanessa, what was just now..."

"That was my mother. The evil spirit has not been eliminated. She is going to the kitchen now. Hurry up and notify others to help!" Vanessa said anxiously.

"But most of the soldiers in the city are patrolling the city. There are only two soldiers stationed at the gate of the castle fortress."

"Call them over!"

"Yes."

Seeing that the maid had run out of the house, Vanessa stood up, took a few deep breaths, calmed her still violently beating heart, raised her fist, and encouraged herself secretly:

Vanessa, you can do it, you can do it!

Coby said that he and a demon hunter friend could deal with a large group of water ghosts together. If it weren't for him, the demon hunter named Dick might not have survived.

Sometimes the courage of mortals is very important. The most important thing at the moment is to stay calm in the face of danger!

You are more than enough to deal with an evil spirit who only dares to bully women!

After taking a few deep breaths, Vanessa also ran out of the house with courage, leaning against the railing of the corridor and looking down at the hall:

But the two soldiers stationed at the gate of the fortress had already been lying on the ground, with their weapons casually dropped to the side. There were no wounds on their bodies. They should have been knocked unconscious, not dead.

These soldiers obviously heard the shouts of the maids and were attacked by the evil spirit when they walked into the hall.

Of course, the two maids were also lying with their eyes closed beside the stairs below them.

The doors of the other floors were closed tightly. It should be that the servants and maids found something wrong and hid in the room to protect themselves.

At this time, a round figure retreated towards the door in a corner of the living room with a terrified face. He seemed to be on guard against something.

Vanessa was delighted and was about to say hello to Yuanyuan, but when she saw Yuanyuan sticking to the door, she turned around directly, and her short legs almost left an afterimage, and she ran out of the door in an instant.

Why did he run away?

Vanessa was puzzled and couldn't help but look down. She saw a woman in a nightgown squatting in front of a maid, her shoulders were still shaking, and she seemed to be eating something.

Was my maid eaten?

Vanessa was startled, suppressed the fear in her heart, and leaned forward again. The necklace on her neck accidentally hit the railing and made a small sound.

Then, Lady Amara in the hall suddenly raised her head, staring upward with sinister eyes. Vanessa clearly saw dark red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, some chicken feathers between her lips, and half a dead chicken in her hand.

Vanessa felt her heart temporarily stop when she saw this, and at the same time she was glad that the maid was fine.

Lady Amara twisted her body, her back facing the ground, holding the remains of the chicken in one hand, and quickly climbed up along the staircase support column below her like a gecko.

Vanessa turned and fled into her mother's room, and locked the door again.

Then she got into the quilt directly, buried herself in it, and did not move:

"Now I'm safe. The doors of the bedrooms in the fortress are all wrapped in fine iron sheets, so even evil spirits can't get in.

"But why do I want to cry? Father..., when will you come back? Coby..., when can you come to see me? "

…

At dawn, Dick was awakened by the urge to urinate.

After the explanation outside the tavern took away some of the heat, the cold wind blew over him, and he felt much better and no longer wanted to sleep.

Then he decided to have breakfast first and then set off.

When he was about to enter the tavern, he heard an urgent shout from behind: "Are you a demon hunter? Come with me!"

Looking back, I saw a chubby dwarf jumping off his horse in embarrassment and almost falling.

Dick walked over and said in a deep voice: "I am a demon hunter. What can I do?"

"Anyway, come with me quickly." The dwarf muttered vaguely.

"Fortunately, a patrolling soldier has seen you. It's true that I shouted so many times on the street just now, and the tavern is not far from the fortress.

"To make a long story short, I am the butler of Duke Amara's family. There is an evil spirit in the fortress, and I need your help now."

Dick also knew that the situation was urgent and immediately took the horse out of the stable and mounted it.

The butler struggled to get on the horse again, but he seemed to have sprained one of his feet when he jumped off. He failed to get on the horse several times and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Dick stretched out a hand, easily lifted his collar, and placed the butler in front of him.

"You show the way!"

"Oh, thank you, Witcher!"

Dick shook the reins directly, and the two of them galloped away.

…

In the bedroom on the fifth floor of the fortress, Vanessa soon heard the rhythmic knocking on the door, followed by her familiar yet unfamiliar mother's voice:

"My dear daughter, open the door quickly. I still have half a chicken left. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I've left it all for you."

In the darkness, Vanessa bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound, and big tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

There was another knock on the door for a moment, and then there was no movement.

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief:

My mother, no, that evil spirit couldn't open the door, and Yuanyuan must have gone to call someone just now.

Just a little longer and I'd be completely safe.

Just thinking about it in a daze, she didn't know how long it had been, but she always felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet, as if the 'mother' outside the door had long since disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

"Wow!"

The curtains shook and a gust of wind blew into the room.

"Wind? Why is there wind? By the way, the pastor told me to open the window half way to facilitate ventilation..."

Vanessa's whole body started to tremble again. She mustered up her courage. She grabbed a corner of the quilt with both hands and slowly pulled it downwards. Her eyes were exposed to the air little by little. Her heart was filled with fear and eagerness. She was facing the unknown situation in front of her. A sense of anticipation:

That evil spirit shouldn't be able to climb from the outside of the wall to the window and then climb in again!

Yes, it's so high here, how could she climb in...

At this time, she turned her head to look at the bedside, her eyes completely exposed outside the quilt.

There was nothing in sight except the iron door.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Vanessa felt bad again.

There seemed to be something drooping on his cheek, and the touch was itchy...

Slowly turning his head to look up, wherever he could see, his mother was leaning against the wall at the head of the bed with her limbs twisted and turned, her legs facing up, her hair disheveled, and some messy hair roots falling on her cheeks.

He looked at himself with an exaggerated smile, holding half of a chicken that was still bleeding in his left hand.
