After Sky is done searching for documents from all the old books, he proceeds to read some newspapers to quickly catch up with everything that happened in Null Dimension in the past few days when they were in Kapis Dimension.
"Hmm? Darling? Why are you reading the newspaper from a few days ago? Didn't we receive all the news about Null Dimension daily when we were in Kapis?" Maria asked, kind of confused.
"Well, that was just from a single source, we can't depend purely on just one single source, unless it's from Jason. Moreover, I somehow rarely pay any attention to the news in Null Dimension when we were in Kapis." said Sky as he continues to read through all the news.
"Ah~~ It's the 'Chris-pampering-effect' huh?" said Maria, kind of teasing.
"Shut up."
"Aww~~ Darling~ Don't be mad, I was trying to ease your tense a bit." said Maria as he started to massage Sky's shoulders.
"Anyway, I planned to give the college campus a brief visit later after dinner, I have a strong feeling that the person who is working with that poison master has something to do with this whole mess." said Sky.
"Ah... But I thought you were going to call it a day after this." said Maria, a bit surprised.
"Nah... It's just your imagination, that was never in my plan." said Sky.
"What?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, Stevenson College, cafeteria.
Sky and Maria are sneakily observing every single corner with a torch light in their hands.
"Uhm... Darling, why do we have to sneak into this place like a thief? I thought we are here to do some investigation instead of stealing things." Maria whispered.
"Well... I am curious about some scenes in TV shows where a group of students snuck into their school campus at night, so I would want to try it out by myself..." Sky whispered back.
"I see... But why are we using torchlight instead of switching on the light?" Maria asked again, in a whispering voice.
"Well... It's to avoid attracting any extra attention from outside." Sky whispered back again.
"Ah... Make sense... But... I thought everyone was supposed to be asleep right now... Moreover, we entered the building through the main door by stealing the key from the sleeping guard out there." said Maria.
"Ah... You are right." said so, Sky proceed to switch on the light.
"There you have it, much better now." said Maria as he switched off his torchlight.
"But seriously, this place is certainly in a big mess, isn't it?" said Sky, as he frowned after seeing the mess left from that previous fight between Chris and Black, the executor plus poison master.
"Mmm... I can re-enact that awful battle that caused those awful sting injuries on Chris-chan." said Maria.
"Yeah... Even though he is immune to almost all the venom, with near thousands of these creepy critters stinging and biting him... Damn... I don't even feel like imagining it." said Sky as he picked one of the dead albino scorpions on the floor.
"Hmm... Although I don't really understand how things work but I thought albino scorpions are supposed to be very rare, I wondered where the heck did that executor boy get all of these albino scorpions, if I am not mistaken, Chris-chan once told me that even he having a hard time to get and breed perfect albino scorpions." said Maria.
"Well, I guess I have already found the answer by just touching one of them. I believe Chris is aware of that as well." said Sky as he threw that dead albino scorpion to Maria.
"Ah! Don't just throw a dead scorpion at me!... Eh? Is it just my imagination or what but I felt some subtle holy energy in it." said Maria who was first angry and later turned curious.
"I believe that these scorpions are the 'masterpiece creation' of some special individuals by continuously exposing juvenile scorpions in holy light, thus creating some sort of 'purified' scorpions instead of real albino scorpions." said Sky, stating his assumption.
"Ah... That is surely a creative way to create a 'new' species huh? But why would anyone do that? Are these purified scorpions more unique than the ordinary scorpions aside from their appearance?" Maria asked, kind of blunt.
"Well... I guess we will just leave that mystery to Chris, but we know can confirm that the executor plus poison master is working with and possibly for an angel, just that we need to find out which party of angels." said Sky.
Maria nodded, despite still being very curious about the scorpions...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Kapis Dimension.
Secret base forging room.
Junior is carefully crafting joints for his retractable claw weapon with leftover material of the sunroof's glass replacement. With Chris's help, he has made a new design for his retractable claw weapon with some small changes that will greatly increase the functionality of the weapon. Chris is watching over him at a side while studying the map given by Dominic. As he is slightly troubled by the rough structure of the map, he suddenly glimpsed something familiar from the corner of his eyes, it's a small wooden box that is sealed with wax. A bit curious about the content of the box, Chris removed the wax seal and opened the box. Inside the box is a dead purified scorpion.
"Ah~ Seriously, I thought it might be something useful. Ha... This purified scorpion, why the heck did I choose to keep it that time? It's pretty much useless." said Chris as he poured the dead scorpion onto a burning torch...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
