Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

“I understand.”

A deathly, hollow voice came from Sally's mouth. Her thin body trembled uncontrollably, her slender arms clutching Lu Minghao's body tightly, the blue veins on her fair skin bulging.

“Hmph! Let's go. Gyson should go back.”

Jean glanced at Sally, who was trembling all over, with disdain, simply assuming that Sally was like this because she was too frightened. After all, how could a monster who only companions with slime have the courage to resist them?

Just like that, Sally silently followed behind the two adventurers. Her originally bright purple eyes were now incomparably hollow, and the childish little face no longer had the slightest smile, so calm that it was frightening.

“Sally...”

Lu Minghao raised his head and looked at Sally. Her hollow eyes were like a pool of stagnant dead water. Through the mental connection, Lu Qiming could clearly sense that there was no longer the slightest fluctuation in Sally's heart, like a real ghost... All that remained in her heart was the purest 'evil'.

Besides that, there was nothing else...

Bang!

A few minutes later, Jean, who was walking in the front, arrived in front of a wooden house and kicked the door open with one foot, swaggering in. With a smug smile on his face, he pointed to Sally, who followed behind, and laughed.

“Look, Captain, what did I bring you back?”

“Sally?”

Lester, who was wiping his long sword, just raised his head and saw Sally behind Jean. Even though more than a year had passed since Sally was taken away by Grandma Oran, Lester still recognized Sally at first glance. After all, Sally's appearance hadn't changed so much in just under a year that people couldn't recognize her.

“Isn't this our most precious Sally? Uncle Lester really misses you!”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Lester's gloomy face. He quickly stood up and walked to Sally, carefully looking her over. After confirming the integrity of the 'goods', the smile on Lester's face became even brighter. He seemed to have already seen the scene of receiving a large reward after handing Sally over to the employer.

“Captain, now that the 'goods' have been obtained, can we start?”

On the side, an adventurer wearing a black robe with a pale face stepped forward, looking at Lester with fiery eyes. She was the last member of the Lester team, a perverted magician named Norse. Because of a magical mistake in the past, she became this old.

Since then, Norse's psychology began to become distorted and perverted, jealous of other young and beautiful girls. Her favorite thing to do was to tie them up and put a special mirror in front of the girls, and then, in the girls' fear and wailing, let them watch their young and beautiful faces being peeled off little by little, completely, and finally become Norse's collection.

Moreover, Norse had specially trained a superb skill for this, which could allow those girls to experience the ultimate painful process without fainting during the complete peeling off of their faces. Throughout the process, Norse's perverted psychology would be extremely satisfied.

And the moment she entered the village, Norse had already discovered several good targets. If it weren't for Lester's order, she would have couldn't help but grab several girls in the village...

“Go ahead, but have fun, don't forget the mission, don't let a single villager go...”

“Lester, Jean, Kenson, Norse... Sally also misses... you... guys...”

Just as Lester indicated that his teammates could have fun but the mission was not allowed to go wrong, suddenly Sally, who had been silent all along, raised her head and looked at them with hollow eyes, a smile on her childish face, a smile that made people feel creepy.

Sally didn't expect that the people she had 'missed' countless days and nights in the garbage dump would suddenly appear in front of her so suddenly, and even her body trembled uncontrollably because of excitement. She missed them so much... missed them so much... missed every member of the Lester team so much.

She recalled their faces in her mind all the time, and she was thinking about how to... kill... them... all the time.

“Oh! Sally, what do you want to say?”

At this time, Lester also noticed Sally's abnormality. With a playful smile on his gloomy face, he walked up to Sally, and his calloused palm grabbed Sally's black hair, wanting to make this half-human, half-ghost monster recognize her identity.

The reason he didn't hurt her before was only because Sally was a precious 'commodity'. If Sally dared to resist them, then Lester wouldn't mind the 'commodity' being damaged a little. After all, the employer's mission didn't say that the 'commodity' must be intact.

Swish!

“Ahhh! My hand! My hand!”

In the next second, Lester, who was grabbing at Sally, suddenly felt a black shadow flash before his eyes. Before he could see what it was, a sharp pain came from his arm. He saw that his palm had already fallen to the ground, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the broken part of his arm like a fountain.

And Sally, who was standing in front of him, was also covered in blood because of this.

“Captain!”

“Damn it! What did you do, you monster!”

Instantly, Lester's shrill screams attracted the attention of the other teammates. Kenson instinctively drew his weapon and aimed it at Sally. Norse, as a magician, retreated behind Kenson as soon as possible to prepare magic, while Jean directly pulled Lester away from in front of Sally and took out a healing potion to pour on the wound.

“Damn it! You monster, what exactly did you do?”

Under the effect of the healing potion, the broken wound on Lester's arm no longer bled. After a hasty bandage, Keister drew the long sword from his waist and stared at Sally with his gloomy face with his hyena-like eyes.

At the same time, Lester put the broken hand behind his back and secretly gave Norse, who was preparing magic, a gesture to prepare to run away. Sally's sudden attack just now had already made Lester aware of the abnormality.

As an adventurer team that can do all kinds of dirty things, the Lester team can live for so long, and the things they have done have not been discovered by other adventurer teams. The biggest reason is Lester's cautious character.

Don't look at his gloomy and terrifying face on the outside, and his methods are also extremely cruel, but his heart is extremely cunning and cautious, like a hyena-like character, which allows him to kill his enemies by any means when they are weak, and once the enemy is strong, then Lester will hide in the dark waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly, in the wary gazes of the Lester team, Sally, whose face was covered in blood, lowered her head to look at the slime in her arms. When she opened her mouth to say something, the slime actually stretched out an arm to wipe the blood off Sally's face, gently stroking her long hair.

“Sally, just do what you want to do! Also, Sally, you must remember that sometimes... death is not the most terrifying thing.”
