Her age was actually two years younger than Serie?!
She wore a white cropped sports vest on top, paired with neat black sports shorts.
Her inner layer was a black form-fitting suit resembling a short-track speed skating uniform, clinging to her like a second skin. Its smooth, streamlined cut minimized wind resistance, and streamlined purple-blue reflective stripes could even be seen on the outside of her thighs.
She also wore a pair of expensive-looking white running shoes.
Compared to the Mad Eater Witch, who was a lone wolf, starting with a grave and relying on eating for attributes, and the Wildfire Witch, whose family and comrades were all dead, and who even suffered from PTSD, physically and mentally exhausted, the Neon Shadow Witch's family seemed almost too good.
She actually had both parents?
Serie came from an orphanage, yet she had both parents?
Not only that, but she also came from a well-to-do family, with both parents being proper senior intellectuals.
Her life, one could say, was a dream start...
Yet, they raised such a lawless girl, who took pride in rebellion and went around doing graffiti as a phantom thief.
Even without considering her abilities, just the girl herself was a "little witch" who gave adults a massive headache.
One could only say she didn't appreciate how good she had it.
Although the Neon Shadow Witch was now Serie, it didn't stop Serie from making sharp comments about her.
However, the only thing worth complaining about was that these parents were indeed a bit unreliable.
Could conducting an experiment turn their own daughter into an anomaly?
Closing the "Witch" interface, Serie had a fairly good understanding of this newly joined Witch.
At the same time, Serie received a new mission—
Main Mission: Never let those bastards get their way
Target: Survive the explosion and save the people in the bank... and the cash
Reward: Ability Point * 1, Attribute Point * 1. Saving all civilians in the bank will grant the ability "Singing a Different Tune." Saving the remaining cash in the vault will grant the ability "Picking Up Is Losing."
Singing a Different Tune: You've always loved to contradict, and now your "contradicting" career has reached its peak. Those people want you to be a good girl, but you refuse. These people want you to be the culprit who harmed innocent people, but you refuse too!
When your actions go against the target's expectations of you, you will be greatly interested, and all your attributes will temporarily increase.
Conversely, if you conform to the target's expectations, you will feel bored, and all your attributes will temporarily weaken.
Serie fell silent...
What a beautiful mental state.
The Neon Shadow Witch's thought process, even among Witches, was quite eccentric.
This ability is unique, but whether it's strong or not...
Remains to be seen.
Picking Up Is Losing: As a rich girl, you lack nothing, but you've loved petty theft since childhood, which has made your stealing methods exceptionally clever. Anything you take not only leaves no trace but can also be perfectly laundered, allowing you to use it as if you legitimately own it.
Serie's heart filled with joy.
This ability seems very useful!
If she were to save a sack of cash... wouldn't she get rich?!
This mission must be completed, and it must be completed flawlessly, acquiring all three rewards.
Witch Mission: All traitors must die...
Target: Hunt down all your betraying "good friends" (0/6), but be aware that if they realize you are not dead, they will do everything possible to escape. If they cross the Australian border, the chase fails.
Reward: Each good friend is worth one Ability Point.
Serie's eyes immediately lit up.
Friends, in my heart!
That's a full six Ability Points!
Just thinking about her cold friends turning into warm Ability Points made Serie's lips curve upwards uncontrollably.
But she had just finished organizing her current objectives and closed the mission interface...
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Serie suddenly heard a rapid beeping sound.
She initially found it strange until Serie suddenly remembered something.
Didn't the mission just say...
Something about an explosion?
As this thought crossed Serie's mind, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the corner of the vault—
There, on a cold metal box, crimson numbers were wildly counting down:
3...
2...
What the hell?! They're serious?!
1...
Boom—!!!
