You call this a black hand?

The shimmering ice cage was crystal clear, as if it would break if touched.

But the middle-aged man with a hooked nose in a tattered black robe who was imprisoned inside was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, showing no sign of struggle.

Outside this cage, there is a pair of skinny and old palms, which open and close in correspondence with each other. A large amount of frost-like mist continuously emerges from the palms, entwining and integrating into the pocket ice cage between the hands.

And around him were more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly wizards.

At this moment, they are surrounding the inside and outside of an old memorial hall, using wands to "write" strange words with a deep red color on the ground or walls.

Roughly speaking, these words look like red chains, and the core is the old man who casts the Frost Cage, or in other words, a triangular strange magic circle under the old man's feet.

They were the masters sent by the school to round up the enemy, and they had already imprisoned the enemy again.

However, all this was done silently. From the outside, the memorial hall was quiet and quiet, with no sign of any battle.

However, on a leafy tree outside the memorial hall, a black snake with bright golden vertical pupils has been staring there closely.

Then, as if he could clearly see everything inside, he continued to use a wonderful medium to convert his thoughts into words, and then transmitted them to someone through an invisible book of secret words.

"Dean Langdon of the Academy of Astrology personally performed the Grote Space Cage Technique, which is a special sealing technique involving life transformation. To maintain it, Langdon must devote all his energy to constructing it at all times.

Get out of bed."

"It's just that this kind of seal may not be really effective. This enemy is very weird and I can't see through him. You should be more careful. I suspect he has discovered your existence."

"Some special atmosphere has appeared outside St. Grant's Fort. The enemy's allies have begun to take action. Several trading companies and chambers of commerce on Thunder Island are organizing manpower for defense. I also have some available people here, but they will not be very useful.

."

"Are you sure?"

"..."

"Mellen?"

She kept sending some messages, but there was still no response from the other party. This made Mrs. Chelsea, who transformed into a snake, worried that the student had encountered some accident?

However, just when she was considering whether to go over and take a look, a piece of news came belatedly.

"When you were a child, did you often dream of special things? For example, a door sitting on a sea of ​​clouds? A golden sun? And a large library that is 10,000 meters high?"

When the words in the Book of Secret Words were transmitted, it was like a strange enlightenment, allowing her to clearly understand what the other party was writing without having to read the words.

"Why do you suddenly ask about such a thing?"

The lady was very confused about this.

"This is very important. You tell me first and I will explain it later."

"It does happen."

Based on her trust in the student, the wife responded without hesitation: "It's just that after the age of seven, you basically can't dream of these things."

"Then when you were having these dreams, did you find that you seemed to have become another person, doing some incomprehensible things?"

"Yes."

"Are these dreams actually continuous?"

"It's intermittent, but it's barely a connection."

"..."

"..."

"Have you ever dreamed that you were kneeling before a female statue?"

"have."

"Do you feel repelled or even disgusted after you wake up?"

"...Where did you hear this?"

Mrs. Chelsea finally couldn't help but ask, and she was a little surprised by this.

Because only she should know all this, and she has never told anyone else, not even her parents.

How did Mellen know?

This is obviously a problem, but after saying this, there was no sound from the other side, and I don't know what is being done specifically.

The more Madam thinks about it, the more something is wrong.

In addition, everything in the memorial hall seemed to be stable, and she had basically experienced some of the things she wanted to find out.

So she couldn't help but leave here with concern, changed back to her human form, and hurried towards Melen's current location.

At this time, Mellen was not staying in Juliana's room, but in a forest park far away from the campus, or under the park, in a secret underground cabin——

This place is secretive enough. It was a temporary residence that Meren found using a map. It has special restrictions. No one can enter except for him, the heir, and those he allows.

Mellen plans to use this place as his "home base" during school, and has already told his wife before.

So at this time, she could walk into the tree hole-like entrance without any obstruction, and easily saw the suitcase on the table.

The suitcase was open at this time, which proved that Mellen had not come out of it yet, and there was nothing unusual around him.

But there was no abnormality, which was the biggest abnormality.

Because Mellen couldn't have gotten that information out of thin air.

"Who is contacting him using the Book of Secret Words?"

Madam naturally guessed this, but Meren hadn't come out yet, so she couldn't urge her.

So I patiently sat on the sofa next to me and waited quietly.

…

On the other side, Melen had actually ended the conversation with the leader of the Scarlet Cross.

The things I asked the teacher before were also the "evidence" provided by the other party.

As it turns out, everything fits perfectly.

However, he did not completely believe this.

Apart from other things, he clearly remembered the incident when Mrs. Chelsea was assassinated by a nun traitor and almost died.

If things are really like what the other party said, and the teacher's true identity is actually the other party's leader, then how could this happen?

Bottom beats top?

"There are also different camps within the Holy Spirit. The purpose of all we do is to gain the trust of another group of Holy Spirits, not a real assassination."

The leader explained it this way.

It’s just that this explanation is completely asymmetrical to the information predicted by Mellen Goldfinger——

If he had not been involved in the assassination, the teacher would have been dead, otherwise he would not have been able to gain destiny points later.

In other words, this is not a conspiracy, but an outright assassination operation.

For this reason, Mellen, who had obtained a large amount of secret information from the other party, did not relax the restrictions afterwards. He just claimed that he would wait until he confirmed that all this was true.

But even though I don’t believe that Mrs. Chelsea is the leader of the other party, it should be certain that she is a reincarnated Holy Spirit.

After all, he already knew the lady's identity as a Holy Spirit before.

But at that time, Melen didn't know whether this Holy Spirit bloodline was inherited from his family or obtained for some other reason.

Now it is clear that it is reincarnation.
