Chapter 67 Empath (2/2)

”Wa!!!” Even at this point, No. 4 was still crying, and it was only Alina that was behind her, patting her head to calm her down.

”This...” Teresa tried to say something, but in the end she was unable to refute No. 4.

”S**t!” Teresa dipped her head down, as she realized that Alina was able to expose her easily.

”I hate this…” Teresa muttered as she tried to not look at Alina.

Alina nodded her head upon seeing Teresa's reaction, as if she was approving of what she was seeing.

”See, so you really can sense emotions.” Alina said with a triumphant smile on her face. ”I thought you were just really sensitive. Turns out Alex's guess was right.”

”....”

”So, do you believe that this girl is a human before?” Alina decided to strike while the iron is still hot. ”You could feel that her sadness and longing for her parents were all legitimate. Surely, that is enough for you to believe her.”

”…” Alina watched as Teresa's head swiveled towards the other little monsters, as if she was also scanning their feelings.

This scanning lasted for a full minute before Teresa let out a frustrated sigh.

”I hate to say this, but I can feel that these little monsters… seem to be genuinely sad for their fate.” Teresa said as she glared at Alina.

”However that does not mean that I will still believe you. Who knows, you could be the one who made them like that.” Teresa added as she gave Alina a suspicious look. ”You know, that is actually highly likely too.”

”Hey, how could you say that to Big Sis!” No. 4 suddenly shouted as she glared at Teresa. Her face was still filled with tears, but it was quite obvious from the buzzing insects on her body that she was quite mad.

”Big Sis is the one who saved us from being eaten earlier, and she had always been so kind to us!” No. 4 shouted as she brandished her tiny fists towards Teresa. ”Don't you think of slandering Big Sis!”

”Ah erm, um…” Teresa was rendered speechless this time, as she was overwhelmed by the indignation and anger pouring out of No. 4.

However, it was not only No. 4 that was angry. The other little monsters were extremely angry too, and from the looks of it, all of them were all eager to pounce at Teresa.

”!!!!!!!!!!!” Teresa started to tremble as she felt that all these little monsters were all fiercely loyal towards Alina, and that they seem to be unhesitant on hurting Teresa.

That is not certainly not a good emotion to feel.

********************

”Ok… I believe you...” Teresa mumbled as she knew that she should make a compromise for now.

Deep inside her heart, Teresa did not fully believe anything that Alina said, even though Teresa can really feel the emotions of the little monsters.

In her mind, Teresa was sure that everything was just a trick, something that was made in order to turn her against the Human Faction.

But no matter how much Teresa distrusted Alina,Teresa knew that she cannotjust say that she does not believe Alina, as it seemed like Alina will not take Teresa's disbelief that well.

In that case, Teresa will just have to pretend that she believed Alina in order to live longer

Teresa will just have to find a way to escape later.

”Oh really…” This was Alina's reply as she seemed to be trying to hide a sly smile as she stood up with No. 4.

From the way that Alina reacted right now, it was as if Teresa's words sounded amusing to her.

”You are not lying to me, right?” Alina slowly said, which made Teresa's hair stand up. ”You are telling the truth, right?”

”I am telling the truth.” Teresa replied as she did her best to wear a poker face. ”I am a Knight, and it is not in my virtue to lie.””

”Well, I will believe that, for now.” Alina replied, this time with a genuine smile on her face.

”Gulp.” Teresa was not sure why, but she felt some twinges of fear as she saw Alina's current look.

”Ok, since you said that you are telling the truth, then I think that it is time to me to show you the truth too.” Alina suddenly said as she set No. 4 on the ground.

”What are you trying to do?” Teresa said with a hint of vigilance in her voice.

Even though Alina looked like she will not mean Teresa any harm, Teresa still could not help but feel wary of her.

”Oh, I will just show you something special.” Alina grinned as her body began to change.

And when Teresa said change, she meant it quite literally.

Teresa had to squint her eyes as she saw the tall elegant beauty transforming into something else.

A few seconds passed by, and Teresa saw what Alina meant by special.

”No! This can't be true!” Teresa shouted as she shook her head. ”This is just an illusion, right?

”Hehehe, that is up for you to see. You can sense my emotions, right?” Alina said as she tilted her head. ”My human form should be quite obvious to you now.”

”!!!!!!”

Right now, what Teresa could see was a real Human in front of her.

With her advanced senses, Teresa could feel and ascertain that the woman in front of her was a real Human.

But that should be impossible, since this woman in front of Teresa was a Vampire a few seconds ago!

”There are no Monsters that can turn into Humans! That is just impossible!” Teresa shouted as she felt her head getting light. ”There is no way that this is true! This is just a…”

Whatever Teresa wanted to say after that was unknown, as her mind once again succumbed to the sweet hug on unconsciousness.

”You broke her again, hooman.” Asteria commented as she watched Teresa fainting in front of her. ”She really is unlucky…”

”Well, we still have more time to talk to her later, so let's just let her rest.” Alina replied with a playful tone in her voice.”After all, she's staying with us for a little longer. It can't hurt to make her feel comfortable.”

”If this is your definition of comfortable, then I fear what will happen to this golden girl once you want her out.”

”You just have to watch to see that.”

”…Noted.”
