You call this a black hand?

No nun was seen in the abandoned classroom. With the authority of the heir, Mellen searched the whole school but could not find her.

This caught him off guard.

What shocked Mellen even more was that just when he thought the nun had escaped from prison through some method, the other party actually came back...

She ran back in the form of a white cat and transformed back into a human body. What she revealed was basically the same as Mrs. Chelsea, but with a more charming face and tall figure. However, the next moment she disguised herself as a black-haired girl.

Catherine's appearance.

This kind of behavior is very strange. Logically speaking, after being caught, she doesn't need to pretend to be someone else, but she just did it. I don't know whether it is because she doesn't want to see Mellen with her true face, or for other reasons.

Of course, what is even more strange is that why would she choose to stay even though she has the ability to escape from prison?

Mellen's first thought was that there might be a conspiracy involved, or to deceive him into trusting him or something.

However, recalling the emotions and attitudes he faced when meeting the nuns in the past, he overturned this guess and became a little moved.

"She doesn't...really don't want to live anymore, does she?"

Judging from the situation and relationship between the two, there is no such thing as dying for love. Considering some of the words the other party said before, Meren naturally thought of this person who was already discouraged and didn't want to.

What are you resisting?

Although this made everything very simple, after he realized this, his mood still became quite complicated.

The first impression is really important. In his opinion, no matter how infatuated a nun is, she cannot escape the label of cunning and cruel.

But this evil-minded woman completely gave up her desire to live after realizing that the love between her and her husband did not exist...

"But I always feel that I am not Anthony. Who would disguise himself as a eunuch?"

Seeing that the other party had sat back down, lowering his head to observe the prayer as if nothing was wrong, Mellen withdrew his surveillance gaze with complicated thoughts.

At this time, he was sitting in a single dormitory, and there were sounds of women talking from the kitchen not far away. It was Juliana and her "good niece" Athena——

Although Athena was invited to have dinner tonight, Juliana actually had no preparation for the so-called dinner, so they had to cook it fresh.

This is not complicated, because in the wizard system, there is a corresponding series of cooking magic, and the special magic pocket has a strong function of keeping food fresh.

Therefore, the competition among the cooks among wizards is not who has better cooking skills, but who has better control over the relevant spells.

This has led to many beings like Juliana who have not studied cooking skills but are at the top of the wizarding field. They can cook without being too unpalatable, because those chef spells are too difficult for her.

Simple.

It's so simple that cooking is just a matter of convenience for them, and talking is the main thing.

"Although this matter has not been investigated on Kevin, he will be affected after all, right?"

"It's good to have influence. The Felix family has taken too much care of him over the years, which has deprived Kevin of a lot of training."

"Fort St. Grant has a special stage for training students. Kevin is still young, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Of course a normal student is not in a hurry to practice, but he is Felix's heir."

"Is that why my aunt always doesn't care about him?"

"Of course, only if I don't care, others will really realize that my mother, who is the deputy dean, will not take care of Kevin during his enrollment."

"Your educational philosophy is quite unique..."

…

Of course, what they were talking about was the previous murder. Although this incident did not affect the normal order of St. Grant's Fort, it caused quite a stir in the wizarding circle.

The family energy behind the deceased Lambert was also very great.

And although some sneaky people hiding in the school were quickly discovered because of the group of Holy Spirits, no one has any evidence as to whether these people were the murderers.

All in all, this matter is still fermenting.

Considering that the Lambert family is extremely pure-blooded, and the Felix family has frequently shown favor to the mixed-blood class this year, there is a possibility of potential camp conflict. Some sharp-eyed wizards have already seen this, and it is very likely to trigger a conflict.

There was a stronger storm.

However, although it played a decisive role in this matter, and even the conflict between Lambert and Kevin was due to Mellen's bloodline, Mellen himself did not feel that he would be affected.

If he is a minion, then he may be in trouble.

But he's not.

So no one would be stupid enough to come and trouble him.

After all, on the surface, Mellen is very innocent and has not been deeply involved in this matter.

On the other hand, the former Demon King who took the initiative to stand up and charge into the battle has also been released by him, silently.

So as the Demon King left, the attention of the group of Holy Spirits who had gathered together to search for the missing Jonah also shifted - they never realized that the Demon King had been imprisoned by the heir for a period of time.

This is not because there is no such imagination, but because no one thinks that the heir has the qualifications to imprison a powerful master of the abyss.

All in all, many things during this period were quite big, but due to a combination of circumstances, they basically avoided the possibility of causing trouble for Mellen. Even though he played a decisive role, he was just like a bystander.

It seems that he has always stayed out of the matter.

Except for Mrs. Chelsea and the Holy Spirit, no one, including Juliana, actually knows how closely Melen is related to these things.

But the strange thing is that Athena, an outsider, seems to have guessed something.

Athena is not a talkative person. According to Meren's observation, except for being a bit talkative when facing herself, she is basically taciturn in front of others.

But right now, this girl with an indifferent personality is always looking for words when she has nothing to say——

This is no longer just trying to please Julianna, but seems to be making excuses.

In other words, she seemed to be judging whether Juliana knew about Kevin's hidden situation.

The answer is of course I don’t know.

So when dinner was prepared and the three of them sat down, the petite gray-eyed girl looked at Melen with a somewhat meaningful look.

"My aunt is so close to you, she doesn't even know some things about you, but I can detect it."

The dinner was uneventful. Later, while Juliana was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Athena leaned over and whispered: "What do you think this means?"

"What?"

Mellen thought she was trying to sow discord.

But unexpectedly, the girl said something else, "This means that I am very sensitive in this area, and as long as you agree to my original proposal, I can help you perfectly hide your relationship with other women."

.”

Mellen blinked when he heard this.

"I'm curious, why do you insist on being my fiancée? And I'm skeptical of your sincerity."

Hearing this, Athena opened her mouth to say something, but Meren raised a finger and blocked her mouth.

The warm touch of her fingers made the girl subconsciously lean back to avoid it. Then she saw the man in front of her and laughed, "Look, I'm telling you that's not what you're thinking about."

"I'm just not prepared."

Athena frowned and retorted.

But Meren ignored her words, glanced at Juliana's tall figure in the kitchen, and said: "I hope to talk to you carefully, but now is not a good time to talk."

"See you tonight at South Point Park?"

The girl spoke immediately, as if to prove that her previous rebuttal was correct, there was no hesitation in her words.

"tonight?"

Mellen thought of the nun, so he shook his head and said: "Not tonight, tomorrow morning."

"Then I will wait for you there at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

Athena answered simply.

Then she said nothing more. When Juliana came out of the kitchen, she immediately greeted her. Her attitude was still the same as before. She did not show the slightest evil look of being a niece but coveting her uncle.

Juliana was completely unaware of this, and even sighed when she saw Athena off.

"It seems that officially starting to work has really changed a person. It would be great if she had been so well-behaved before."

"Maybe it's all fake."

Mellen said.

"Knowing that pretending is already progress."

Juliana replied nonchalantly, "She wasn't even willing to pretend before."

That's because there was nothing worth pretending for her before...

Mellen thought to himself, but had no intention of telling the girl's true identity to the other party.

This is not because he really wants to have any in-depth entanglement with Athena, but mainly because he considers the identity of the other party's destiny elector, and instead of agreeing to meet in the library tomorrow morning, it is just because he hopes to find out the girl's appeal and purpose.

That’s all.

This was just a suggestion out of the desire to solve a small problem. Mellen's main focus was actually on the abandoned classroom.

There was a certain danger in the nun's experiment on that prayer, and no matter what, he couldn't really let the other party die at this time.

Of course you have to keep an eye on it.

However, what surprised Mellen was that the nun did nothing else except sleep that night.

At first, he thought that this might be a condition for the other person to enter the state of near-death. However, after waiting and waiting, he found that this person had even begun to snore.

After observing the opponent's fate and finding no signs of death, Mellen could only withdraw his gaze speechlessly.

"Maybe she's recuperating her energy."

There seemed to be no other possibility, so Mellen was ready to continue looking for the two female savages to explore their secrets.

…

On the other side, Sister Lydia was not actually sleeping, but using a strange dream to experiment with the prayer.

How to enter a near-death state, there are actually many ways in the wizarding world.

And her method was to immerse her thoughts in sleep and die again and again.

In this way, you will gradually deceive your body in reality and move towards death step by step.

This method is actually very dangerous, because after the mind is immersed in it, it is difficult to escape independently. If the prayer is invalid, she will really fall into the abyss and never survive again.

If someone helps keep an eye on her in reality, they can wake her up when she is about to die.

But Lydia believes that this prayer can only take effect when you really feel that you will die. If someone helps you, you will have a lucky mentality in your heart, and you will not think that you will die at all.

That's why she didn't notify Meren.

But the nun actually didn't hide her current physical condition too much. If Melen cared about her, she would actually be able to detect something was wrong——

Her current image is not her real body at all, but a disguised state.

In this state, what the external image shows will certainly not be the true condition of the body.

This is a detail that can easily be overlooked, but it is her only chance of survival.

As long as Meren can realize this and remove her disguise, she may survive.

However, she didn't think Meron could do it.

Putting aside personal feelings, Melen would not want her to die now, so she would not underestimate the importance Melen attached to her.

But this kind of attention is just out of an attitude of utilization rather than concern.

On the other hand, although she had mentioned in advance that there was a certain danger in the near-death state, she did not say how great the danger was. Although her frivolous words would attract attention, it was of course impossible to say how much attention could be paid to it——

She never emphasized the seriousness of the matter.

In this case, unless Meren really cared about her and carefully considered her situation, it was unlikely that he would be able to stop her death.

But how could Melen care about her?

The future is already determined. She is just a woman who is being used. Throw it away when it is no longer useful and pick it up when it is useful.

Therefore, when Lydia felt that her physical condition was deteriorating, she really thought she was going to die.

Nothing was left to chance.

"He should regret it..."

In a daze, this thought flashed through the nun's mind.

The first time she was detained in the abandoned classroom, she realized that Melon had something to do on his own, and naturally thought of the problem of his "daughter" Alyssa.

In the past few days, using her blood connection, she could also feel that Alyssa's problem was becoming more and more serious.

I originally thought that if I could live until that time, it would be okay to pass Alyssa's problems onto myself.

But now, she is dying.

Or is it because of his negligence...

A kind of pleasure of revenge emerged from the bottom of her heart, which made her sober even for a moment after her confused thoughts.

However, when this feeling dissipated and her mind was in a deeper state of chaos, she inexplicably thought of that prayer.

Although the main reason for entering the near-death state was for the experiment, in fact, when it officially started, Lydia's thoughts were all focused on whether Melen would be aware of her state.

However, now, maybe she was really going to die, and her instinctive desire to survive was causing trouble, or maybe it was out of some emotions that she deliberately wanted to ignore, so she suddenly thought about it.

If this prayer worked, there was a chance she would survive.

But what else can you do if you survive?

Watching others laughing and laughing while you are just a tool thrown into the corner?

This thought came to mind for a moment, and was replaced by that prayer.

Lydia began to recite silently, and she didn't even know where the motivation to live came from.

But what caught her off guard was that just after reading it once, her thoughts, already submerged in darkness, began to "run" quickly like a wild horse that had broken free of its restraints.

The heavy eyelids also became extremely light.

When she opened her eyes following this feeling, Lydia was shocked.

Because she discovered that she had actually returned to her girlhood, in her bedroom in Chelsea Manor!

…

At the same time, Mellen is trying experiments on No. 1 to travel through time and space using the method Juliana taught him before.

Then he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this attempt...
