Chapter 78 An Unwilling Promotion

Chapter 78 An Unwilling Promotion

There is no doubt that Luzer wants a general promotion.

However, he wanted to be promoted while ensuring his safety. That's why he sought various methods to avoid the dangerous role of the listener.

Would Ms. M consider these things for him?

Thinking of this, facing Ms. M, who had invited him for a promotion, Lu Ze cautiously began to speak:

"But I've heard that after being promoted to a Listener, one can hear the words of the true Creator."

"That is a gift from the Lord to us."

Ms. M answered without hesitation.

"...listeners will be influenced by these words and become fanatical believers in the true Creator."

"That's because they received the Lord's calling."

"...If you are not promoted to a Listener within three to five years, you will die a miserable death."

"Being guided by the Lord but unable to awaken to a higher level, the punishment you receive is only death, which is already considered merciful by the Lord," Ms. M said with a smile. "So, are you willing to be promoted to a listener?"

"Can I refuse?"

Lu Ze asked coldly.

Ms. M raised an eyebrow and snapped her fingers lightly.

"Hmm!"

Cecilia immediately let out a muffled groan, clutching her chest in pain, her body swaying precariously.

"Stop! Stop now!"

Lu Ze couldn't help but shout.

"Don't agree to her request..."

Cecilia said, her face pale. Normally, Luze wouldn't tell her the details of her daily work, but just from what he had just said, she could tell that Pusheng was in great danger.

Ms. M smiled and raised her hand towards Cecilia...:

"I do, I do, okay?"

Lu Ze gave up shouting.

"If you're willing, then so be it."

Ms. M immediately stopped and gave Lu Ze a satisfied smile.

Cecilia let out a weak gasp and nearly collapsed. Luze rushed over to support his sister and saw that her forehead was covered in sweat.

This shows just how much pain you were in.

Lu Ze looked up and gave Ms. M a deep look. His expression gradually calmed down.

She absolutely must be killed.

I really like your expression right now.

Ms. M looked at Lu Ze's face, her smile growing even wider. She flipped her hand inside her white robe and produced a strange object shaped like a black ear from somewhere.

"This is the extraordinary quality of the listener, equivalent to the main ingredient in a potion."

She said to Lu Ze.

As Lu Ze looked at the strange object, he felt a faint attraction within his body, as if it were yearning to take it in.

It is indeed the potion for the next stage.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

"To turn it into a potion, you'll need some additional materials, which you'll need to prepare yourself." Ms. M tossed Lu Ze a list.

"70 ml of pure water, 8 grams of wolfskin powder, 2 drops of black-tailed snake venom... and a dose of the deceased's extreme emotions?"

Lu Ze read the list. All the other items were materials that could be bought in the Extraordinary Market, but the last item was a bit puzzling.

"You can find that kind of thing by just going around the slums." Ms. M handed him a small black bottle. "Find the body of someone who has recently died, preferably an accidental death, open the bottle on them, and you can collect it."

Lu Ze silently accepted the small bottle.

"I hope you can finish preparing the materials as soon as possible, preferably by tomorrow."

Ms. M said, clapping her hands, "Alright, it's getting late, we should rest too, after all you have to go to work and school tomorrow."

"You're going to stay at my house?"

"Aren't you welcome? I saw the guest room was empty, so I moved in without permission," Ms. M said with a smile.

"Of course you're welcome."

Lu Ze laughed too. Ms. M wanted to stay at his house and even let them go out again tomorrow; this carefree attitude made him both angry and helpless.

Isn't she afraid I'll tell the captain?

After Ms. M finished speaking, she didn't linger. Instead, she said "Goodnight" to the Londor siblings, went upstairs first, entered the guest room, and closed the door, as if she really wanted to rest.

Inside the living room, the brother and sister stared at each other in silence.

Before entering the house, they had just enjoyed a pleasant night and had a bright future ahead of them; after entering, their situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and they were taken into the hands of a powerful and cruel madwoman.

Fate, in a way that is extremely darkly humorous, has added a unique interpretation to the lives of this brother and sister.

"Lu Ze, should we escape...?"

Cecilia spoke to Luzer, but he shook his head and interrupted her, because Ms. M might be listening, and the more she said, the easier it would be for her to control her.

"It's alright, Cecilia, don't worry."

He forced a dry smile, trying to appear confident. "I can handle this. Just wait patiently. Get some rest tonight. Also, don't provoke her..."

Cecilia looked at Luze, and after a moment nodded. "I understand, brother."

At that moment, the two had so much to say, but they could only exchange a glance before returning to their respective rooms.

Lu Ze lay on his bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Although he told his sister to rest, how could he possibly fall asleep peacefully? His mind was filled with a jumble of chaotic thoughts, and the immense pressure of survival weighed heavily on him. He was desperately trying to think and analyze the current situation.

How did Ms. M survive?

What exactly is she trying to do?

What should I do?

Do I really want a promotion?

First, it's understandable that Ms. M possesses flesh and blood magic and has abundant vitality, given that she did so. However, it's impossible for her to escape unscathed after experiencing that level of damage.

So what does she want from me?

Lu Ze certainly didn't believe her. Given the deep-seated hatred between them, how could Ms. M forgive him and help him get promoted?

If that's the case, is promotion the goal? She wants to transform me into a madman who believes in the Aurora Society, willingly offering my body as a vessel... It's possible, we need to continue observing.

So what should I do?

Thinking of this, Lu Ze's expression turned fierce, even ruthless.

Need I say more? Kill her!

Feeding herself and Cecilia with flesh and blood, coercing her to advance to the Dangerous Rank, and the past grudges... there is no other choice but to kill her!

Even if the two sequences differed by more than half a point, it wouldn't change his mind.

Think carefully about how to retaliate. Captain, Mr. Azik, my magical artifact, and my built-in cheat...:

Lu Ze didn't sleep a wink all night, and didn't get out of bed until dawn. Not long after, his younger sister also got up, her eyes bloodshot, clearly she hadn't slept well either.

"Good morning."

Ms. M's gentle voice came from the living room. She had changed out of her white robe, her blood-red hair was styled in a bun, and she was wearing a Ruen-style dress. The dress itself was quite conservative, but her curvaceous figure beneath the white robe made even the plain dress incredibly alluring.

She leaned back on the living room sofa, propping her head up with her ringed hand, reading a novel. Her relaxed and carefree demeanor suggested that she had long lived with the Herondor siblings and considered this place her own home.

Lu Ze glanced at her indifferently, then turned and went to the kitchen with his sister to prepare breakfast.

"I don't like the taste of chili peppers, but I don't have any other dietary restrictions," Ms. M said naturally, as if she had already assumed that Lu Ze would make her a serving as well.

I'm going to spit in your food!

Lu Ze cursed inwardly.
