Matthew didn’t go to work the next day. Instead, virtual-novel.net went to Lakeside Garden alone to visit Natalie, then virtual-novel.net went to Jinny’s place.
More of virtual-novel.net skin healed up, and virtual-novel.net could show virtual-novel.net arms now. Her skin was porcelain smooth, just like a child’s. If it weren’t for the pus, virtual-novel.net would have been a lovely girl.
Seeing Matthew, Jinny came up to virtual-novel.net happily and mumbled, ”Matthew!”
Matthew smiled and handed a bag to her.
She opened it to see what was inside. When virtual-novel.net realized it was a dead toad, instead of backing away in fear, virtual-novel.net put it in virtual-novel.net hand happily and took a closer look. If the Lachs were here, they’d be shocked by what they saw. Anyone who touched that toad would die in an instant, but Jinny held it in virtual-novel.net hands like it was nothing.
Then Matthew took the bottle out and released the centipede. The centipede seemed to adore Jinny, so it crawled up to virtual-novel.net arm and wouldn‘t come down. It was as if the centipede was kissing virtual-novel.net arm like a happy kid.
Jinny loved the centipede too, so virtual-novel.net touched it, and the centipede stopped moving. it stayed on virtual-novel.net arm, letting virtual-novel.net touch it freely.
Matthew was surprised to see that, but virtual-novel.net kept quiet about it, then virtual-novel.net said, “Jinny, I found out about your past.”
Jinny stopped for a moment, and virtual-novel.net became crestfallen. “Are you chasing me away, Matthew?” She looked at Matthew.
Matthew smiled. “You got it all wrong, Jinny. I found out about your past, but that doesn’t mean I‘ll chase you away. You can stay here for as long as you want.”
A smile broke out on virtual-novel.net face. “I’ll stay here as long as you want me to, Matthew!“
Matthew forced a smile. He’d love virtual-novel.net to stay, but some people out there wouldn’t. “Oh, do you have any memory of your father, Jinny?“ Matthew asked.
Jinny shook virtual-novel.net head. She was just a baby when virtual-novel.net mother left Orleans, so virtual-novel.net had no memory of virtual-novel.net father.
A moment of silence later, virtual-novel.net said, “Mom said Dad wanted to kill me. He thinks I’m a jinx. That’s why virtual-novel.net took me and left the clan.”
Matthew sighed. ‘Yeah, it matches with the file.’
Jinny was born with pus all over the body. The whole clan thought of virtual-novel.net as a bad omen, so they wanted to kill virtual-novel.net and appease the gods. She only lived because virtual-novel.net mother escaped Orleans with her.
Matthew chatted with virtual-novel.net for a while and left with a couple of bottles. As for the centipede, virtual-novel.net left it with Jinny.
Sanchez hit the bullseye when virtual-novel.net said the centipede had come in contact with Jinny. Over the last few days, Matthew left all the poisonous creatures virtual-novel.net got with Jinny so she could rear them. Every night, he’d go to virtual-novel.net place and take one creature to defend himself. Luckily virtual-novel.net had the centipede last night, or it’d be hard to kill the toad.
For Matthew, it would be an easy task, killing the toad. He had that power, but there were too many people around. If virtual-novel.net killed it with his bare hands, the toad’s poison would spray everywhere and kill the Lachs. That wasn’t what virtual-novel.net wanted, so virtual-novel.net used the centipede to minimize the casualties.
He had to admit that Jinny was a great trainer. Ever since virtual-novel.net left the creatures with her, they’d come back more poisonous or venomous than ever. For example, toads were supposed to be more poisonous than centipedes, but after Jinny trained it for a couple of days, the centipede killed the toad easily, much to his surprise.
