I really don't want to cross

Chapter 433
In the silent temple.

Wood looked at the person in front of him and shook his head. He didn't say much, but left the hall where his statue was enshrined.

"What did Roswaal ask you for? Why are you still so mysterious?" Beatrice, who was outside the hall, saw Wood come out, and asked with some doubts.

"It's nothing."

Wood smiled: "It's just a lunatic who worships God for the sake of demons."

Beatrice was taken aback when she heard the words, and she didn't understand the meaning of Wood's words, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"However, you have been waiting for me here until now." Wood smiled: "Do you cherish the last time with me so much?"

"Are you an idiot?"

Beatrice glanced at Wood with a look of disdain: "Betty just wondered what Roswaal wanted to do with a useless god like you. After all, he is also the descendant of Betty's acquaintance. If you lead him astray, Betty can wake him up in time."

"The offspring?"

A look of disdain flashed in Wood's eyes.

He rarely despises a person so much, because Wood knows that he is definitely the most contemptible type of person. No matter who he is, he can treat it as a bargaining chip without mercy. In order to save his life, he can completely Throw old people, babies, and women out without hesitation.

but,
His family members are definitely not in his bargaining chip category, let alone his direct descendants.

Roswaal, who keeps robbing the bodies of his direct descendants...

Just a complete lunatic! !
Wood looked back at the main hall behind.

In the dark temple, Roswaal was still standing there looking at the card in his hand.

No matter how contemptible Roswaal is, his madness is only good for him, not bad.

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly.

A lunatic believes in the devil, such a match is very suitable, isn't it?
The more people like this, the happier Wood is.

"what happened?"

Beatrice looked at Wood's indescribably weird smile, and frowned: "You laugh so disgustingly, what bad things are you thinking?"

Wood withdrew his gaze, put his hands behind his head, and said lazily: "The wicked don't think about bad things, do they still want to think about good things? Let's go!" Before he finished speaking, Wood had already taken the lead towards the mansion.

Beatrice glanced back at the hall, then shook her head.

In her opinion, only the first-generation Roswaal can get special preferential treatment from Betty. Except for Roswaal who has the same memory as herself, the rest are fakes who claim to be Roswaal; no matter what the other party chooses, Betty They are not interested in understanding and correcting.

……

For the next time, Wood stayed in the forbidden library as usual.

The time since he came to this world is not long, and it is not short. If the reset time is included, it has been almost two months.

But in the past two months, the only people he knew were a few people in the mansion, and there was no need to say goodbye to these people, they were just passers-by.

As for Buzz and Ina...

Wood didn't go to say goodbye to them either!
as always.

Even though he knew that his leaving without saying goodbye would make them feel sad, Wood preferred to leave silently rather than watching them sad face to face.

but……

Wood swallowed, and moved the book in his hand down, revealing a gap to look at Beatrice beside him.

What happened to this girl?
Although Beatrice was still sitting in front of the door with a book as usual, her attention was obviously not on the book in her hand, because... the book had been held upside down; moreover, this guy just put himself on the table I ate the statue of God for dessert...

Not a single scum of wood remained.

Watching the statue containing his soul breath being eaten up at such a close distance made Wood feel empathetic.

"that……"

Wood hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask if the girl had been stimulated in any way, or if the aunt who was 400 years late finally came?

Didn't it mean that when a woman comes to be an aunt, she has a bad temper?
"Are you reading?"

"what?"

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly, and Beatrice's sudden words startled him.

and also……

Who can tell me!

If someone stares at you with bloodshot eyes and asks you if you read a book, how should you answer?

Wood nodded solemnly, and said very seriously: "Look, what did you let me see, what did I see..."

"..."

There was a flash of struggle in Beatrice's eyes, then she got up and walked towards her room, and came back with a book in her hand after a while.

Ok?
Wood frowned slightly, and a strangeness flashed in his eyes.

This book...

"What do you see?"

Beatrice raised the book in her hand and put on a look of indifference, but it was obvious at a glance that she was nervous now.

Wood didn't speak, and his gaze slowly shifted from the book to Beatrice's face, with a look of complexity on her face.

Book of Wisdom!

Even if he doesn't take the book, Wood can know the name of the book, and even...can guess the content.

Because if this book is held by Wood who does not belong to this world, it will only be blank.

What Wood doesn't understand now is...

Why did Beatrice take this book to herself!

Or……

Already understand, but do not know how to react.

Wood has never expected his succubus physique to appear like now. If he is the succubus in charge of love and desire, he will probably take this book without hesitation, no matter how heavy the meaning behind it is.

But now Wood can't do that.

because,

Once I take this book...it means that I will become the 'that person' that Beatrice has been waiting for.

after all,

He is not 'the man' that Beatrice has constructed, and Wood knows that he will never become what Beatrice expects him to be.

and so……

Wood stood up slowly and reached out to take the book.

Beatrice was suffocated, and there was a look of joy or disappointment on her pretty face.

And right now.

"Fire Ball!"

A golden fireball was born out of thin air, enveloping the entire book, and steaming heat filled the entire forbidden library in the blink of an eye.

The spells in the book fell apart, waiting for Beatrice to react...

that book,

It has turned into ashes and drifted away.

This spread was enough to make the world crazy, and the books that could predict the future and give hints disappeared before Beatrice's eyes.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Beatrice thought she would act like a crazy woman, childishly and ridiculously rushing forward to fight the person who burned her mother's belongings, but...

anger?
Lost?

sad?

……

For some reason, Beatrice did not feel these emotions.

But there is no joy at all.

Because Wood had already given her the answer.

Or……

The answer is already there.

(Forget about 'that person', and don't expect anyone to be 'that person', including me.)
A passer-by in a long life.

This was the answer Wood had given her.

"Beatrice."

Hearing her name, Beatrice subconsciously turned her head to look, but what caught her eyes was a finger quickly pressing on the center of her brow.

Art · binding cloth!
Although the immobilization technique of this artifact cannot hold Beatrice for a long time, such a moment is enough.

Beatrice only felt that everything around her was gradually beginning to distort. When she regained consciousness, she had already appeared in the hall of the mansion. Surrounded by the surprised eyes of the twin maids and Subaru Natsuki, she did not understand why she appeared it's here.

Beatrice was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed slightly, she already understood what Wood wanted to do.

"That bastard!!"

While speaking, she subconsciously wanted to use her abilities, but... there seemed to be an iron door on the door of opportunity created by her abilities. No matter how she tried, the door would not budge.

even……

Beatrice could clearly feel that the subspace where the forbidden library was located was rapidly collapsing and dissipating, and all connections with the mansion completely disappeared at this moment.

At the same time, the contract that he insisted on for 400 years, and even prepared to end it all by death, also expired at this moment.

But Wood, who canceled the contract in another way...

But it didn't show up!
It was as if it disappeared into the subspace along with the forbidden library.

(Yo! It should be impolite to turn away a guest who knocks on the door, right?)
Breaking in with an extremely cheap way, and leaving in an extremely cheap way.

That's it...

Don't you want to sign a symbiotic contract with Betty?
