Chapter 342 Can I sleep with you?
After Petra returned to her room, there were only two people left in the not-so-spacious "living room".
The woman sat elegantly, like a descendant of the nobility.
With a smile on her face, she whispered, "Would Mr. Meese like spanking my daughter?"
Miss almost vomited blood and stood up suddenly, "No! Not even once, it was just a joke, Auntie, don't take it seriously!"
It was really unfair for him to take this blame. If he had known this would happen, he would not have simply threatened Petra but would have taught her a lesson.
Petra's mother waved her hand to signal Miss to sit down, and ripples gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Mr. Meese, is the news about my father true?"
Miss was stunned for a moment, thinking: So the old man is Petra's grandfather...
He sat down slowly, his face becoming serious.
“The old man has been looking for your family for more than 20 years, and it is just a coincidence that I learned about this.
But don't worry, Auntie. I promised the old man that I would send you home, and I will definitely do it.
By the way, where is Petra's father? Why didn't he see it?"
The woman raised her hand to wipe away the moisture from her eyes, her face indifferent, "That man died a long time ago."
Upon hearing the news, Miss quickly apologized and expressed deep regret.
However, the woman's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations.
She sneered, her face full of hatred, "Mr. Miss, you don't have to apologize. Without that guy, my daughter and I wouldn't be here and become playthings in the cage of the human race."
When Miss heard what the woman said, he was full of doubts.
"Auntie, were you captured by the church, or were you... sold here?"
The woman looked worried. "First I was arrested, then I was sold here."
Miss thought for a moment and roughly understood what the woman meant.
After their family left the No Man's Land, they were probably captured by unscrupulous slave traders and then sold to the church.
Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind and Miss was stunned.
"Slave traders, the church, Abed?"
After realizing that the problem was not as simple as the woman described, Miss asked, "Are all the subhumans living here sold to the church by slave traders?"
The woman didn't know why the young man was so excited, so she nodded, "Yes, everyone is."
Mis fell into deep thought, carefully recalling all the subhuman swordsmen he had just met and the information he had learned from Petra before.
They all have at least one family member who is a swordsman, and they are all very talented, with high levels despite being young.
This is surely not a coincidence.
What kind of slave trader would specifically capture sub-humans with good swordsmanship talents!
Sold them all to the church.
Moreover, they all have family members as leverage, making it easier to control them.
Mis concluded that there must be something wrong.
"Could it be related to the Demon Eye?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Petra's mother suddenly knelt down, scaring him.
"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
The woman was crying heavily, but her eyes remained firm.
"Mr. Miss, you can ride in a carriage with the legion commander, so you must have a good relationship with the church's top leaders. I beg you, please let my daughter go and don't let her join the [Inquisitor] team."
No matter how hard Miss helped her, the woman just refused to get up.
"I can do anything, just let my poor daughter go!"
Seeing the woman like this, Miss became more certain of his previous guess.
"Auntie, please get up first. I promised the old man that I would take you back to Rezewitt City. I didn't lie. Before that, you have to answer a few questions for me."
"Wha...what's the problem?"
"Petra said that if you become a member of the Judgement team, your family will be free and live a good life. Is that all false?"
The woman showed a disdainful smile on her desperate face, "It's true, the family can indeed regain their freedom, but the child will never come back..."
For a mother, exchanging her child's life for her own freedom is more painful than killing her.
Mis continued to ask: "Is every demihuman member of the [Judgment] team dead?"
The woman nodded and then shook her head slightly. “I don’t know, but one time, I unexpectedly found that the family of a member reappeared outside the containment area, crying about the disappearance of their children. After chatting with them, I learned that all the children were gone and would never return.”
"The demi-humans never come back, but the humans always get along in peace. Humph."
Miss could probably guess something, but he needed to see it in person to know the real situation.
It just so happens that he will join the Judge team in this mission to explore the demon world.
"Auntie, Petra will still join the Judge team..."
"this..."
After hearing Miss's answer after a long period of thought, the woman felt disheartened and her eyes were blank.
"But I will also join this team, which means that I will be with Petra for the rest of the time."
The woman remained silent, her eyes still empty.
She seemed to have attributed Miss to the church and no longer had any expectations.
Miss looked towards the direction of Petra's room and said firmly, "I hope Auntie can trust me. I will definitely bring Petra back intact on this mission."
He couldn't explain to the woman why it would be safer to keep Petra with him.
He could only rely on weak words to give the woman a little hope.
Unfortunately, the woman did not feel any hope and never said anything again.
At night, Miss lay on the hard bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
He kept thinking about the day's events.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door opened.
Miss sat up suddenly and looked towards the door.
In the moonlight, he saw the shy girl squeezed in, wrapped in a not-so-thick quilt.
The girl's ears were drooping, but her heart was beating very fast.
She held the corners of the quilt tightly with both hands the whole time, fearing that it would accidentally fall to the ground and reveal a thrilling scene.
"Miss, can I...can I sleep with you?"
The girl's trembling voice made Mis' heart tremble. He quickly got out of bed and walked over.
The girl subconsciously took a half step back and turned her face to the side, as if she was worried about being seen.
Missy frowned slightly and helped the girl tighten the quilt. "Petra, girls can't sleep with boys casually, do you understand?"
He thought to himself that this silly girl seemed not as smart as Angelica.
I thought that after hearing my scientific knowledge, the girl would obediently leave.
Unexpectedly, Petra behaved contrary to her usual behavior and became rebellious.
She took a step forward and threw herself into Miss's arms.
Miss slowly pushed the girl away, his expression very serious, "Go back to your room, otherwise we won't even be friends anymore."
Petra insisted in vain, looked back every three steps, and slowly left Miss's room.
Looking at the girl as she left, Miss was thoughtful.
"There is a problem..."
Petra gently closed her door and looked at her mother behind her. She was about to speak but her mouth was covered.
In the dark room, mother and daughter looked at each other.
The clouds dispersed and the moonlight shone in.
The woman's right hand, which was behind her back, trembled and loosened, and the shiny kitchen knife fell to the ground.
