You call this the mastermind?

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

This caught him off guard.

What surprised 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 was 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 behavior is very strange. Logically speaking, after being caught, she doesn't need to pretend to be someone else, but she just does it. I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t want to see Melen in his true colors, 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 frustrated 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, looking down at 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 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 the wizards is not who has better cooking skills, but who has better control over the relevant spells.

This has led to many existences 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 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 cost Kevin 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 ignores 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 case. 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 dead Lambert is also very strong.

And although some sneaky people hiding in the school were quickly discovered because of the group of Holy Spirits, no one had any evidence 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. 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, Melen is very innocent on the surface and has not been deeply involved in this matter.

On the other hand, the former Demon King who took the initiative to 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 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 troublesome, but due to a combination of circumstances, the possibility of causing trouble for Mellen was basically avoided. Even though he obviously played a decisive role, he was like a bystander and stayed out of the matter.

Except for Mrs. Chelsea and the Holy Spirit, no one, including Juliana, actually knows what Melon is closely 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 a lie.

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 the dinner was ready 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."

An uneventful dinner. Later, while Juliana was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Athena came 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 just wasn't 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 she 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 pretend."

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...

Meren 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 proposal was made just because he wanted 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, 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 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.

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 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, the external appearance certainly does not reflect the true condition of the body.

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

As long as Melen can realize this and remove her disguise, she has a chance of survival.

However, she does not think Melen can do this.

Apart from personal feelings, Melen would not want her to die now, so she would not underestimate Melen's importance to her.

But this importance is just out of exploitation, not care.

On the other hand, although she mentioned in advance that the near-death state is dangerous, she did not say how great the danger is. Although the light words will certainly attract attention, it is impossible to say how much importance can be attached to it -

She did not emphasize the seriousness of this matter at all.

In this case, unless Melen really cares about her and carefully considers her situation, it is unlikely to stop her death process.

But how could Melen care about her?

The future is already doomed. She is just a woman who is used. If she is useless, she will be thrown away, and if she is useful, she will be picked up.

So, when Lydia felt her body deteriorating, she really thought she was going to die.

There was no chance.

"He should regret it..."

This thought flashed through the nun's mind while she was in a daze.

The first time she was detained in the abandoned classroom, she realized that Mellen had something to do by herself, and naturally thought of the problem of her "daughter" Alyssa.

In the past few days, using the blood connection, she could also feel that Alyssa's problem was getting worse.

I thought that if I could live to that time, it would not matter if I transferred Alyssa's problem to myself.

But now, she is going to die.

Or because of his negligence...

A kind of revenge pleasure emerged from the bottom of her heart, making her even more sober from her daze.

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

Although the main reason for entering the near-death state was for the experiment, in fact, when it officially started, Lydia's mind was all on whether Mellen would notice her state.

However, now that she might really be dying, she suddenly thought of this matter because of her instinctive desire to survive or some emotions that she deliberately wanted to ignore.

If this prayer is effective, then she might survive.

But what else can she do if she survives?

Watching others laughing and talking there, while she is just a tool thrown into the corner?

This thought emerged for a moment and was replaced by the prayer.

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

But what caught her off guard was that after she finished reciting it once, her mind, which had been submerged in darkness, began to "run" quickly like a wild horse that had broken free from its restraints.

Her heavy eyelids also became unusually light.

When she opened her eyes and looked at it according to this feeling, Lydia was stunned.

Because she found that she had returned to her teenage years, to the bedroom in Chelsea Manor!

…

At the same time, Mellen was using the method Juliana had taught him before to experiment with time travel on No. 1.

Then he realized that something seemed wrong with this attempt…
