"Happily took the delicacy handed over, just smelling this sweet smell, I felt a lot of relief, especially the reason of adding more sugar made the milk more attractive.

"Please give me a cup too, without sugar."

"You... also drink milk?!" Looking in surprise at Arnold who didn't know when he was sitting aside, Neil couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yes." Lucy didn't ask much, and turned to prepare.

"Why haven't you started your job yet? Are you trying to renege on your debt? I told you in advance that even if there are no demons in this mission, I won't refund the money—!"

"Work?" Arnold raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it already over?"

"what?"

"I really don't know why I have to come to such a case in person, go back and ask for a raise..." Arnold picked up the freshly warmed milk and raised it in the direction of Neil, "You stay here."

"Are you trying to escape?"

"No, it's rest."

"Cut—" He snorted dissatisfiedly, raised his head and drank the remaining milk in his hand, and when he put it down again, the young man was nowhere to be seen.

"Master Exorcist, this is the room prepared for you. Please take a look and see if you are satisfied?" As a qualified and competent maid, Lucy bowed respectfully with a smile on her face, and her demeanor made people feel very friendly.

"Isn't this too...too pink?" Looking at the world full of pink, there are all kinds of items that teenage girls can use that can only be accessed by the upper class.

"If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can tell me at any time."

"No...except for a little discomfort, I'm very satisfied."

"That's really my honor." Lucy said generously, "I prepared these for you."

"Your family really cares about...the guests." Looking at the carefully prepared room, Neil whispered casually.

"In order to serve you better, I will always be by your side when you are working and resting recently. Please give me your advice."

"Don't dare."

For the next few hours, as Lucy said, she was always serving, which was very different from all the previous tasks. Although the previous employers were also respectful, everyone was always alienated and with awe-inspiring expressions. It's like a curse. Only this beautiful girl who is not much different from her own age in front of her can chat with her infinitely and accompany her. She is just like the playmates of the same age I saw on the street before. She likes this feeling very much. Someone closeness.

In the afternoon, Arnold, the real employer, did not know where he went, and spent his rare leisure time with the company of the girl beside him. When night came, the dark clothes on his body were almost completely enveloped in the dark air.

In the afternoon, the lady's body had been disposed of, and the lady's sister still didn't leave, saying that she had to ask for an explanation, but seeing that Mr. Arnold, who was in charge of the case, had long since disappeared, neither the servant nor the master in the house had a good face , and left after a few quarrels.

In the middle of the night, only a few streetlights at the entrance of the Earl's Mansion were still bright, and there seemed to be something else that could be faintly heard in the night except for the sound of wind and grass.

"Even if my sister has not given birth for many years, is it inappropriate for Earl Will to take such a ruthless action?" The adult woman's voice was calm and at ease, revealing her natural arrogance in her bones.

"Her death has nothing to do with me. What happened to Lucy was just an accident. I will explain it to your house later..."

"Confession? Is it a corpse? Or that shameless little hoof?!"

"...I respect you three points and call you sister, but don't go too far!!" The man who had been forbearance before finally revealed his true nature. The hen that lays eggs, do you want me to pay the bill?! Well... Now that things have happened, you think I don’t know? Isn’t the family just asking for some benefits from me, and I’ll just satisfy you.”

"This is my favorite sister!" The female monster growled emphatically, "It's not a life that ordinary cheap things can buy..."

Poor lady, she hasn't been buried yet, but the two families have already used it as a bargaining chip in the middle of the night to seek benefits from each other. The glory of many years is now in vain, so Lucy?

Going back to the room quickly, looking at Lucy who lived opposite, I always felt an unpleasant feeling, just as I was thinking, the opposite door suddenly opened.

"Why don't you go to bed, sir? Do you have any orders?"

"No, I just couldn't fall asleep and went out for a walk, you know Lucy? I haven't been this close to anyone for a long time, especially a girl, except for Elena, you are the first one who is willing to be with me. "

"Adults are very easy to get along with, and I am also very happy with them."

"I just passed by the swimming pool in the courtyard when I went out, and I thought about asking you to play with me tomorrow."

"Of course, it's my honor, my lord exorcist." Lucy smiled slightly, her brow revealing some charm, which was very alluring in the dimly lit corridor.

"Good night then."

"Good night."

"..." Both of them turned back at the same time, with parting smiles on the corners of their mouths, until the originally well-behaved and beautiful girl behind her suddenly turned back and turned ferocious, and Bai Jiu's arm turned into a slender and sharp black needle, stabbing forward forcefully.

Turning sideways, raising her leg and throwing it backwards, she accurately threw the person behind her onto the door. The closed door opened, and Lucy covered her wound and fell to the ground. At the same time, a girl with the same appearance was covered by the window. Nose, hands tied, expression very terrified, very excited after seeing someone coming, constantly struggling.

"How do you know I'm a fake?" Lucy fell to the ground. To be precise, the devil who had just pretended to be Lucy tore off the hypocritical appearance and became ugly and fierce. The real Lucy who was tied up was even more Terrified, the tears have already flowed for a long time.

"Lucy just told me this afternoon that she drowned when she was a child and walked around the pool when she saw her. How could she go swimming with me?"

"That's it, let me just say, my disguise is impeccable..." The weird ugly appearance and voice are creepy, but the girl who is only 13 years old is used to it, and she can even wear a mask without changing her face. Smile.

"Lucy?" She turned to the trembling girl, "Sure enough, you demon handed over the contract... Is this why you please me? Don't be surprised, I believe you have heard something, similar to... Keep away from the drive Mages, because they invite the scariest demons, or something..."

"From the first day I became an exorcist, all my employers regarded us as beings more terrifying than demons, because the badges of the religious order on our chests would attract countless demons nearby, which is a sign It is much scarier than meeting someone. They are respectful and polite on the surface, but they all have the same idea in their hearts... Although your approach is different from theirs, but from your slightly disturbed expression in the afternoon, it can be seen that you have the same idea as them Yes, always remember the title everyone gave us..."

"Son of the devil."

"That's right~ you exorcists who were abandoned by humans," the devil smiled triumphantly, "you are much more pitiful than us—at least we still have countless companions, but you——exorcists! ~It’s an existence that was abandoned by everyone—! I finally thought that I met a companion, and now I’m very sad~”

"Oh." With a chuckle, "Lucy, this is your punishment. You have submitted a contract with the devil, and he has helped you fulfill your wish. The lady is dead. As a price, he will accept your soul. It's an equivalent exchange, Madam can't be resurrected, just like your soul will be taken away, it's the same reason."

"Uh————————————————!" Lucy screamed desperately, her complexion changed early and she struggled, a little hideous, completely lost the dignity and beauty before, she cried loudly, but she couldn't shout anything due to the restraint on her mouth Only her staring eyes showed her extreme fear.

"Huh——what a ruthless person~ But that's right, as her punishment for cheating on you...it's very reasonable, so I'll accept it bluntly—" Said and rushed towards him vigorously.

"Well------------"

"boom--"

"..."

"What... what?"

Blowing on the muzzle of the silver pistol, "You say you are so selfless..." Neil carefully wiped off the black liquid splashed on his face, "Isn't that violating the principle of equivalent exchange? Lady's soul... You can accept it with peace of mind?"

"what--!"

"You also...signed a contract with Madam, right? Just when you were about to kill her, out of greed, you signed a contract with two people. Her wish was to kill Lucy, and you took away Madam's soul, but Lucy is still alive, so she violated the principle of the contract, but the same, no matter who you kill first, you will violate the contract... When you sign the contract with Madam, it is the time when you are destined to disappear under my crystal of God... "

"So, before I punish her... I will punish you first."

"But—damn—!!" The black figure gradually disappeared, accompanied by angry shouts of dissatisfaction, and turned into dots of black light in the air and dispersed.

The room became quiet again, and Lucy's panting and Neil's slow footsteps could be clearly heard. She walked over and tore off the restraints on Lucy's mouth, "This time it's a life, and I will live longer in the future." Learn a lesson, this kind of situation of getting something for nothing does not happen every time, maybe it will be your life that will be lost next time."

"Ha--ha--" Even after the great distress, Lucy was still immersed in the panic just now, slumped on the ground, sweating and tears kept streaming down, and the words were a little unclear, "Thank you...Thank you..."

Look sideways at the earl who is facing the room in the courtyard
