Natural enemies

Jiang Yingjie, the owner of the Lotus Hotel, is said to have worked in Xiangjiang in the past and has a gangster background. He came to Macau to invest and open a hotel in order to clean up his crimes.

Of course, Shen Yi overheard these by accident while chatting with her colleagues, so she didn't know if it was true or not.However, judging from the existence of people like Lao Liang, Jiang Yingjie is not a particularly law-abiding businessman anyway.But then again, how many casinos are fuel-efficient?

Shen Yi always forgets these news after hearing them.She has been working in the Lotus Hotel for two years, and she is highly regarded and paid well, and the boss has never done anything wrong.In this case, why did she inquire so much?After all, with this job, the mother's illness can be treated, and the mother and daughter can live together. She doesn't want to lose this job.

Jiang Yingjie's residence is in a high-end apartment near the Lotus Hotel. It is said to be a residence, but it is actually a golden house hidden away.Shen Yi pressed the doorbell, and a young woman's voice came from the intercom: "Is it Shen Yi? You are here. Come up quickly."

Shen Yi could recognize that this young woman was the "Jiao" hidden in Jiang Yingjie's golden house, and the person who introduced her to join the ranks of witches - Su Zhenni.

Following Su Zhenni's voice, the elevator door opened in front of Shen Yi.Of course, the interior of the elevator in the high-end apartment is also carefully decorated. There are embroidered carpets on the floor and decorations on the walls. Every time Shen Yi comes here, she feels a little dazzled.

The elevator stopped at the top floor, and with a ding, the elevator door slowly opened to both sides.At this moment, Shen Yi suddenly saw from the reflection of the elevator door that there seemed to be a black thing at the base of her ear.

The silver-plated surface of the elevator door is bright and smooth, and it can almost be used as a mirror, but because it is full of carved patterns, the "mirror surface" is divided into countless small pieces, and the human faces it reflects are naturally fragmented.It was on a small piece of "mirror surface" that Shen Yi saw the black marks on the base of her ears.

But with just that flash, the elevator doors slid open to both sides, Shen Yi was immediately dazzled by those gold-painted patterns, and couldn't see anything clearly.She touched the base of her ear subconsciously - the black mark seemed to be behind the ear, and was covered by her loose curly hair, and only a small part could be seen, which seemed to be in the shape of a sharp horn.But now the skin of the tentacle is no different from the one next to it, she can't feel anything, and just about to find another smooth place to take a picture, the elevator door has been opened, revealing Su Zhenni's face: "Shen Yi, why did you come here like this?" Night!"

Shen Yi heard that the boss has a wife, so Su Zhenni put it nicely as the second wife, but in fact she was just adopted.If it was someone else, she would definitely stay away, but Su Zhenni was different.A few years ago, when she had nowhere to borrow due to her mother's illness, Su Zhenni not only lent her a sum of money to solve her urgent need, but also made her a witch.

Because she became a witch, she gained a little foresight ability. Although this ability is very weak, it is enough for her to use at the gambling table.It is because of this ability, coupled with the little card skills she learned before, that she is able to achieve her current position in the casino of the Lotus Hotel. Not only can she pay for her mother's medicine, but she can also live comfortably.

For this, Shen Yi is very grateful to Su Zhenni, and will never despise and alienate her just because she is taken care of by others.This time the boss called her and said that Su Zhenni needed her help here, and she rushed over immediately.Half of this was because he didn't dare to disobey the boss's order, and the other half was because of Su Zhenni.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yingjie's phone calls were endless, and Shen Yi didn't know what to ask her to help, but seeing that Su Zhenni had changed into a witch's robe at home, she couldn't help being startled. Immediately, he threw the black marks behind his ears out of the blue, "Why are you dressed like this?"

"You are stupid." Su Zhenni pulled her inside.She is also a mixed-race woman, her biological father is unknown, it is said to be of French descent.The unidentified father left her with fair skin, long brown hair in natural curls, and dark eyes that glow a little dark blue under the light.Of course, there is also a hot body, otherwise Jiang Yingjie would not have taken a fancy to her.

"Don't you know what day it is today?" Su Zhenni dragged Shen Yi into the room, then dragged out a long robe and threw it to her, "Hurry up and change your clothes, today is the night of the blood moon!"

Shen Yi grabbed her clothes in a daze, on the one hand because of the blood moon night, and on the other hand because Su Zhenni did not leave the room with her hands folded, as if she wanted to watch her change clothes.

A witch's robe is like a dress, but baggier, and—no underwear underneath.It is said that this is because the first witches signed a contract with the devil. This kind of attire is more convenient to fight with the devil—what...

But when Shen Yi became a witch, she didn't see any demons. Su Zhenni said that the contract is just a formality now.But anyway, you can't wear underwear with this robe, so...

"Jenny, you, can I go to the bathroom and change?"

Su Zhenni laughed: "Why are you so shy, we are all women. And tonight you are going to apply sesame oil, can you apply it yourself? Hurry up and change your clothes, you are already late, and there is still half an hour left A few hours is when the moon will be completely covered, and we have to get ready ahead of that."

"Sesame oil?" Shen Yi wrinkled her nose.She doesn't like the kind of sesame oil that the witch wants to apply, maybe it's because her sense of smell is too sensitive, she always feels that there seems to be a bit of smell in the sesame oil, "Also, on the night of the blood moon—"

Su Zhenni has already taken out a bottle from the drawer: "Today is a total lunar eclipse, haven't you read the news? When I came here just now, I didn't see the moon in the sky? During a total eclipse, the whole moon will turn red, that is It's a blood moon. How can a witch be idle on a night like this?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Shen Yi had to take off her clothes, took the sesame oil from Su Zhenni's hand and rubbed it on her body - she didn't want Su Zhenni to rub it on herself.

"You'll know in a while." Su Zhenni picked up the clothes she took off, and suddenly sniffled, "What's the smell, you brought the hallucinogenic potion?"

"Oh, I kept it on me all the time..." Shen Yi had no choice but to lie, "There is a guest who wants to pester me, and I'm afraid that if I delay the time..."

Su Zhenni didn't pay much attention, because it was not the first time that Shen Yi encountered this kind of customer: "Use less, don't be discovered by others—forget it, it won't matter in the future."

"What do you mean?" Shen Yi asked with some doubts.

"Oh——" Su Zhenni rolled her eyes, walked behind Shen Yi and rubbed sesame oil on her back, "I mean, let Yingjie hire you as an individual customer in a few days, so that the guests who pester you at will will be a lot less."

"I, how can I be an individual visitor..." Shen Yi felt a little embarrassed.Of course, being an individual customer is better than being a dealer, but her poker skills really haven't reached that level, she just relies on a little predictive ability to know when to call and when to give up.

"Why not." Su Zhenni looked forward to her with a smile, "Isn't your mother's illness much better? In the future, your burden will not be so heavy. Being an individual traveler will give you more freedom. You can also consider finding a boyfriend. It's..."

The air was filled with the smell of sesame oil, and Shen Yi couldn't help but frowned again. Maybe it was because she had applied too much, and she felt that there was an indescribable smell in the fragrance. She couldn't smell it when she smelled it carefully, but after a little When you relax, you feel uncomfortable.

"Okay." Su Zhenni withdrew her hand, "Put on your clothes, let's go out."

"But what exactly are you going to do on the night of the blood moon—" Shen Yi thought of this question again.

"Hold the ceremony." Su Zhenni pulled her hand vigorously, "Come out."

Shen Yi stepped out of the bedroom and was stunned.

The living room of this apartment is more than 50 square meters. Su Zhenni seems to like to be sparse, so she didn't put much furniture, but left a large space with thick cashmere carpets.Now that the carpet has been removed, the exposed ground is actually a whole block of black floor tiles, which forms a sharp contrast with the light yellow wooden floor next to it.

On this black smooth ground, a huge pentagram was now drawn with silver dye, and a white candle was lit at each of the five pointed points.

"This is—" Shen Yi opened her eyes wide.Not only because there is such a mystery hidden under the carpet, but also because - when she came out of the elevator just now, the carpet was still on the floor, and there were no candles, and Su Zhenni was with her all the time, so these Who set things up?

"Stand among the five stars." Su Zhenni urged with a smile.

Shen Yi stood still.For some reason, she suddenly felt something was wrong: "This is, what are you doing?"

"It's a witch ceremony." Su Zhenni pushed her, "Go in soon."

"Aren't you going in?" Shen Yi was pushed two steps away by her, but she stood on the edge of the black ground, she refused to move, "Besides, what kind of witch ceremony is this?"

When the two were talking, Shen Yi happened to be facing the window, and from here she could just see the moon in the night sky—the lunar eclipse was almost at its peak, that is, when the moon was completely blocked by the shadow of the earth, if there was any more, it would be...

Suddenly there was a strong force coming from behind, Shen Yi staggered a few steps forward, and rushed into the middle of the pentagram.She looked back and called out: "Boss?"

Jiang Yingjie was wearing a black robe with a hood, his usually gentle face was hidden in the shadows, adding a bit of eerieness.He didn't even look at Shen Yi, he just raised his head and glanced out of the window, and immediately ordered Su Zhenni: "Turn off the light!"

"Boss—" Shen Yi had a bad intuition, and was about to withdraw from the pentagram, but found that she couldn't lift her foot.

She took off her shoes and socks when she changed her clothes just now, and now she is standing on the ground with bare feet, she only feels a chill coming from the soles of her feet, her feet seem to be integrated with the floor tiles, and she can't lift them up at all.

She lowered her head in astonishment, just as Su Zhenni had turned off all the lights, the room suddenly became dark, only the dark red moonlight in the sky came in, covering her and the pentagram under her feet.In the moonlight, the silver dye was made of something, but it started to light up bit by bit from a certain sharp corner, as if an invisible hand slowly drew an inverted pattern on the ground. pentagram.

That's right, judging from the order in which the dyes light up, what is painted is an inverted pentagram.Even though Shen Yi didn't know much about the occult, she knew that the inverted pentagram was the symbol of Satan, which meant death and hell.Coupled with the late night and the blood moon, what Jiang Yingjie is going to do is simply revealed!

"You—you—" Shen Yi's lips trembled, and she stared at Su Zhenni in disbelief, "You want to summon demons? Then me, are you going to use me as a sacrifice?"

Su Zhenni smiled at her: "Actually, that's not exactly the case. At the beginning, you didn't sign a contract with the devil at all, but even so, you have the ability to predict, which proves that you are simply a born witch."

"Then what do you guys want to do!" Only then did Shen Yi understand why the ceremony of becoming a witch was so simple, and it was nothing like what she had heard.It turned out that the witch ceremony was not completed at all, so he was not a real witch at all?

"Oh——" Su Zhenni glanced at Jiang Yingjie, who took out a roll of parchment from nowhere and was about to start chanting, "Actually, this should be your real witch ceremony, we will summon demons to follow you Sign a contract to make you a real witch. But—we will ask the devil a little more, so if the devil needs a reward, he can take you away."

How is this different from using her as a sacrifice!Shen Yi struggled desperately, but as Jiang Yingjie began to mutter, the cold air from the soles of her feet had already crawled up her knees and up her thighs, freezing her lower body: "You, you will definitely suffer retribution! The devil will not let you go!"

Su Zhenni stared nervously at the inverted pentagram that was getting brighter and brighter on the ground, and smiled: "We dare to summon the devil, of course we have made sufficient preparations. With the amulet, the devil can't do anything to us!"

Shen Yi wanted to scold her, spit on her face, and snatch Jiang Yingjie's parchment, but the cold air quickly climbed up her body, her limbs gradually became stiff, and even her heart seemed to be frozen... …

Shen Yi's face was facing the window, and the moon hanging at the corner of the window had completely turned red at this moment.The darkness in the room seemed to be stained with a layer of blood because of this. Although the white candle on the corner of the pentagram was still burning, it couldn't penetrate the indissoluble darkness at all.

Surrounded by tomb-like darkness and silence, it seems that this room is no longer in this bustling city, and even the outside lights seem to be unable to shine in, only the bloody moonlight, which completely disregards the laws of physics, sprinkles the room. every corner.

Shen Yi now feels that her neck is completely indescribable - oh no, she can't feel it at all, and she is not even sure whether her heart is beating or not.And the chill was still climbing upwards, reaching her ears first...

Something seemed to move behind her ears, and Shen Yi's vision suddenly became clear.She was still facing the blood moon outside the window, and suddenly saw a figure in the huge dark red moon, with a pair of bat-like wings spread out from behind.But when she blinked again, the figure suddenly disappeared again.

Before Shen Yi could figure out whether she was dazzled or not, she caught a glimpse of some candle flames flickering suddenly from the corner of her eye, as if being blown by something, the candle flame elongated at the same time, and stretched towards her back, as if behind her. Suddenly there was a black hole, as if it was sucking air in.

Wouldn't it be—had the gates of hell opened?Shen Yi thought desperately.Then, she saw Jiang Yingjie and Su Zhenni showing expressions of ecstasy and fear at the same time, looking behind her together.

It's over, the devil really came!Shen Yi already felt that there was someone behind her.If it wasn't for her inability to move, she might have run away, but now she can only tremble helplessly.

Wait, trembling?Shen Yi suddenly found that the feeling of freezing on her body had eased a lot, and she could actually tremble!But before she finished thinking, a deep voice came from behind: "Who is calling?"

This voice was magnetic and pleasant, and Shen Yi couldn't help but think about it in desperation: Is the voice of the devil so pleasant?

"Yes, it's me, I'm calling for your lord!" Jiang Yingjie succeeded in calling, but took a step back subconsciously.He held the parchment in one hand, but the other hand reached into his robe. He didn't know what he was holding on to tightly, and his voice trembled a little, "I, I beg my lord, to help me."

"Help?" The voice behind Shen Yi seemed to be clinging to her back, "Did you sign a contract with this woman and endow her with mysterious power?"

"Ah? No, it's not!" The demon seemed to be playing cards out of order. Jiang Yingjie was taken aback for a moment before quickly answering, "I'm begging for help from my lord."

"But you used a witch ritual." The demon in the dark sounded stubborn, "Since it's a witch ritual, how can you ask me for anything else?"

Jiang Yingjie couldn't help turning his head to look at Su Zhenni.This is totally wrong!According to Su Zhenni, the demons would be happy to offer help so that they could get human flesh or soul, then they could hand over Shen Yi.But what's up with this demon!Why didn't he follow the plot and insist on obsessing over that damn witch ritual?What to do now!

"My lord—" Su Zhenni had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "We are willing to sacrifice this woman to you in order to ask for your help and protection..." The food has passed, and the light is about to begin, and the moon Food is almost over!

However, the demons in the darkness didn't care about their anxious mood at all: "You obviously held a witch ceremony, why did you change it to a sacrifice halfway?"

Why, why... He actually asked why!At this moment, Jiang Yingjie felt that he had a million words of MMP, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Just as he was racking his brains to think about what to say next, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the door, and a young man's voice laughed unscrupulously, as if he was about to roll on the ground with his belly in his arms: " Hey, look at their faces! My god, Gu Yi, you are simply amazing, you will definitely become an excellent comedian!"
