Chapter 588: Chapter 526: Prajna (Two in One)_2 Chapter 588: Chapter 526: Prajna (Two in One)_2 Beyond that, the skin on her face was pitted and uneven, as though it had been corroded by some kind of solution.

In the wee hours of the night.

In the dimly lit alley, the above was all that met the bleary eyes of the drunk men.

What was even harder for him to accept was that, in his fright, having drunk too much, the man’s bladder loosened, and a dribble of urine ran down his trouser leg into his shoes, where in the cold wind of the early morning, he felt a chill gathering along the urine streak to his upper thighs.

Fury took hold, and worried about appearing embarrassed in front of his companions, the drunken man grabbed the woman’s hair and shoved her entire cheek into the frigid, filthy water.

“Die, you bitch, why don’t you just die?”

“Scaring people in the middle of the night!”

As the man raised his foot in a furious rage, a strong urge to vomit surged up, and unable to hold it back, he opened his mouth, and a torrent of acidic stench from a mix of food remnants and alcohol erupted forth.

With nowhere to hide, the woman lying on the ground was sprayed from head to face.

“What’s happened here?”

That man known as Nishida only then came back to his senses, hurrying forward to assist his companion.

“It scared me to death, Nishida-kun, you didn’t see that woman’s face, it was terrifying, more frightening than a female ghost in the movies.”

The chubby man stood up trembling.

“Thinking of that face, I likely won’t have any interest in women for a month.”

“Miss, you…”

Nishida stepped forward and, looking at the woman on the ground smeared with vomit, he wrinkled his nose as the sour stench wove its way into his nostrils, prompting a bout of retching.

He too had drunk a fair amount at dinner, and now the smell was almost unbearable.

“What are you bothering with her for?”

“Let this woman die!”

“It scared the hell out of me!”

His arm seized by his companion, amidst the cursing, the men pulled Nishida away into the distance.

“Stay away from her, with that hideous face still doing business out here, does she think we’re blind?”

“Or does she think we’re so drunk we can’t even discern her appearance anymore?!”

Amidst their shouting, a taxi drew near in the distance, but at that moment, from the opposite alley emerged two women, likewise scantily clad but dolled up gaudily.

“Hey handome guys, could you tell me the time?” Nishida shivered, and he and the chubby man looked over at the sound.

Tall figures, fair skin, faces painted with heavy makeup, showing signs of fatigue from disrupted day and night cycles, but frankly, the foundations of these two women were quite good.

“Get lost!”

The chubby man yelled impatiently.

“Just got scared by an ugly ghost, I’ve no interest in women right now!”

“Ugly ghost?” The woman in the front hesitated at first, but then, her gaze shifted past the figures of Nishida and his friend to the figure sprawled in the alley.

“So, it’s her.”

A trace of realization crossed the woman’s face.

“That’s Ito Rieko, she’s quite infamous.”

“Is she a friend of yours?”

The fat man’s face darkened as he asked coldly.

“Friend? We don’t have friends like that.”

The woman shook her head.

As she spoke, she slinked into the fat man’s embrace and gently patted his chest with her palm.

“Seeing her ghostly face at this time of night must’ve scared the wits out of you. To tell the truth, even seeing her in daylight would give you nightmares for a month.”

The woman cooed with laughter, “Handsome, do you know how her face turned into that ghostly sight?”

“It’s said that before entering our line of work, she was a brilliant student at Kyoto University. She was beautiful, had a great figure, plus she was highly educated, garnering countless men’s adoration.”

“Tsk tsk, such a background is the envy of all women.” As the woman spoke, her eyes gleamed strangely.

Most women who have been through what she had tended to look down on those lofty female professionals, a disdain without rationale.

“And then?”

“How did she become that ghastly sight?” The chubby man eagerly urged on.

“It’s too cold out here, how about we find somewhere warm… to chat slowly.”

Quietly, the woman gave her companion a look, and receiving the signal, the other woman approached Nishida.

The chubby man laughed heartily, pulling open the taxi door, “Go on, tell me how that woman ended up like this.”

“What else?”

“Such high and mighty women love to be two-faced, the pure white flower in public, but the filthiest in private.”

“She didn’t stop with a boyfriend, can you believe she hooked up with her boss at work while her boyfriend was away on business.”

Speaking of which, she suddenly lowered her voice and gave the fat man a suggestive look, “His boss was dispatched from the European headquarters.”

“Ended up getting caught in the act by her boyfriend, and then…”

The car doors closed, the engine started, and the sounds inside the car faded away, the conversation inside unheard by the woman far away in the alley.

But for her, she had heard too many similar whispers.

Shivering, she pulled at the hem of her clothes; the cold weather, compounded by her wet garments, made her body convulse uncontrollably.

Her hair, matted with vomit and sticking together in clumps, she ignored the pain in her body and struggled up from the ground, just about to leave, when something caught her eye in the periphery.

Bundles of banknotes soaked in the filthy water, their colors indiscernible in the dark, but the woman reached out without hesitation the next second.

“Snap!”

Water splashed everywhere.

A foot appeared, stomping the wet banknotes ruthlessly underneath, and an ominous figure emerged before the woman out of nowhere.

“Ito Rieko.”

A hoarse voice reached her ears, and suddenly Ito Rieko felt enveloped by a chill, as if she had been thrown naked into ice water, her body stiffening so she couldn’t move.

“The money is yours,” she said shakily.

“Tsk tsk, how pitiable.”

The man’s voice was cold, but from its steady tone, Ito Rieko sensed a suppressed irritability; she didn’t dare look up, hunching her back and bowing her head very low.

“Do you harbor resentment?”

“Resent the things that man did to you?”

“Are you jealous?”

“Jealous of those two despicable women who still boast more beautiful faces than yours?”

A hand that was cold yet burning hot was placed on her shoulder, a seductive voice burrowed into her ear, while an incomprehensible force from the palm infiltrated every corner of Ito Rieko’s body.

Her past experiences unfolded before her eyes like a scroll, emotions buried within her heart sprouted, then the force from the hand ignited them completely!

“Haha!”

“Good, very good, that’s it!”

“Lift your head, look at me!”

Ito Rieko obediently lifted her head, just as she had done many years ago.

Then, she saw a horrific face as red as blood, eyes bulging wide and head crowned with two horns.

Her emotions exploded under pressure, and Ito Rieko felt a burning sensation on her face, a feeling she had not experienced in a long time.

Soon, it felt as if something was trying to break through her scalp from above.

“Yes, that’s right!”

“From today, Ito Rieko is dead. I grant you a new identity, endow you with new powers.”

“Go.”

“Go and take revenge on those who have hurt you!”

Her face turned deathly pale, horns and sharp fangs protruding, Ito Rieko’s figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

A ring of faint black smoke enveloped the man’s body, and the surroundings grew less distinct.

He turned around; in the dark alley, a staggering drunkard widened his eyes and stared blankly at him.

“Pfft!”

The next second, the drunkard’s body burst open, blood splattering, dyeing the nearby ground red.

“The warmth of blood.”

…

Rising early, Roger slowly practiced his swordsmanship.

After an initially bizarre phase, Higurashi Chika quickly returned to normal and continued to instruct Roger in the art of the sword.

Then she was completely captivated by Roger.

Ordinary swordsmanship, to learn and master, to master and then to excel.

His progress was frighteningly swift.

It didn’t take many days for him to completely deplete Higurashi Chika.

Of course, this was only the ordinary swordsmanship; Higurashi Chika always kept the core heritage to herself.

Sheathing his sword, Roger put on his shoes and was about to leave when he heard footsteps approaching.

He looked up to see Higurashi Chika walking side by side with a man along the path from the main entrance.

As Roger looked up, the man also saw him.

The man was startled at first, then blurted out, “Senka, why is there another man in your house?”
