In the apse, it was still as dark as usual. Even though Safina was able to open her eyes, there was nothing to see.

Therefore, she quickly closed her eyelids again.

But she now understands that darkness can actually amplify other senses besides vision to a certain extent - she can smell the smell of old dust in the apse, and can hear water droplets gently dripping on the floor tiles in the backyard.

You can even feel the slight vibrations every time someone passes by in the corridor outside.

Yes, Safina realized that her senses seemed to be many times more sensitive than before.

Since last night, the formation that Maka had set up on the ground had actually stopped functioning, but instead she felt that the unknown force that was causing her pain had become more and more arrogant in her body.

The pain was nothing. In fact, she had gradually gotten used to it. But... to be honest, she felt a little worried now. This was not only because of the termination of the graphics array, but also because-McLean had

I haven't seen myself here for several days.

Where did he go? Does he know about the formation stopping? What kind of terrible power does he... want to give himself?

Even if you really succeed, will you still be yourself?

While Safina felt the power in her body that seemed to have taken over her entire body, she felt uneasy at the same time.

People are like this. When they are alone, they tend to think more and more.

But in the end, there was only one question left in Safina's mind - will McClain keep his promise and solve the problem that has troubled her for many years for her sister?

At first, Safina was semi-forced to accept the deal. But to be honest, if Maka was willing to spend more time, sit down and propose it to her in a normal way, she would probably do the same.

Promised.

Therefore, compared to her sister Ursula, Safina does not have such strong resistance.

To put it bluntly, it sounds like "semi-forced", but if you look at it from another angle, doesn't the other "half" mean "willing to accept"?

And now the only thing that makes her unsure is whether Maka will really fulfill her promise.

"But... let's forget about Ursula liking him! It's too dangerous to be with such a man who can't see through it."

Suddenly recalling the original purpose of her trip, Safina couldn't help but mutter with a wry smile, using this self-deprecating method to relieve the depression in her heart.

In fact, not to mention that Ursula has probably lost the good impression she had on Maka, and even Safina, who is mostly nosy, no longer dares to be original.

"Well."

Suddenly, another strong feeling of nausea emerged from her chest, interrupting her random thoughts - this was the third time she had this feeling today, and it had never happened in the past few days.

Safina felt that something was going to happen to her.

And at this moment, she suddenly heard a soft "squeak" coming from the direction of the door. It was the sound of someone pushing open the door to the apse.

Then, a ball of light gradually lit up the room.

Safina moved her head with some difficulty and looked towards the door. The light ball was a little dazzling to her, so she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

"McLean...sir?"

"As I said, just call me Maka."

At the door, Maka walked in with a ball of light in his palm, and came to Safina step by step. It can be found that he did not show any surprise or surprise at the formation that had stopped running, and he naturally

He stepped on the formation that he was unwilling to step on before, and squatted down next to Safina.

"Safina, how do you feel?" He asked casually while checking briefly, "Is the pain a little bit worse?"

"It's been strengthened a lot," Safina wrinkled her face slightly, but her mask was still on her face, and Maka couldn't see this expression. "But...it's okay, I'm used to it."

"If you persist harder, you will almost reach your limit." Maka nodded, "If you can move on your own sometime, it will be almost time to reap the results."

"Really?" Safina pursed her lips and said weakly, "Is it... like..."

Abruptly, she suddenly pulled out the hand hidden in her sleeve, and while Maka was still paying attention to inspecting it for her, she suddenly extended a bright dagger to Maka's neck. At the same time,

, her other arm also tightly hooked the back of Maka's neck, almost hanging her entire upper body weight on Maka's neck.

At that moment, Maka only felt a chill on her neck, and then she felt warmth again, as if she had wrapped a heavy scarf around herself.

"Help Ursula first, and then let her go. After that, I will cooperate with you to complete this deal... You should understand that I am worried that you will..."

Since ancient times, the natural enemies of wizards have been assassins. If someone who is not afraid of death puts a dagger on their neck, the result is usually to die together. In fact, even in the ancient magic world, many wizards died in such an unbearable way.

Safina did not dare to say that this method could also work against Maka, but apart from using this method to gamble, she could not think of any other possibility of gaining the initiative.

However, before she could even finish her words, her cheeks suddenly felt flushed, and the next moment...

"Uh, ugh——"

A large amount of extremely smelly black mucus surged from her throat and spurted out from the gaps in the mask, immediately covering Maka's body.

Seeing this, Maka quickly raised her head, but because his neck was being hugged by Safina, this movement had the opposite effect. Feeling the black vomit dripping from her neck into her clothes, Maka

Kaya could only purse his lips and smile bitterly.

It’s not that he smiles shyly, it’s that he really doesn’t dare to open his mouth right now!

After a moment, he pinched the blade of Safina's dagger, pulled it out of her hand, and threw it aside casually. Then, he wiped his face and said:

"Hurry up and let go...Are you going to retaliate against me by smoking me to death?"

After saying this, Safina let go of her arms in a daze, and her already weak body slid down Maka's chest.

Maka stretched out her hand and put her back on the ground.

"Yes, at least let me see that you have the strength to hold me hostage... Just wait, I'll ask Sarah and Willy to come over and help you take a bath, otherwise you're going to harm me, and you'll probably smoke yourself later.

died."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and walked out.

"……etc."
