The sky gradually darkened in Melthis, and the flow of people on the pedestrian street gradually grew.
Even though the superpowers Otherworlds appear in front of the world, people still live as usual.
Employment, Entertainment, nightlife enjoyment.
A dozen men and women in black gowns stood in the center of the promenade.
If it had been in the past, they would be recognized as cosplayers. But recently, Melthis was far from peace, and people also learned about the existence of superpowers. Therefore, many people looked strangely at them.
Are they... are they the Beyonder?
Actually, that's true.
An angry apprentice said: "We're just bait for Mr. Weasley. If we do it here, the Bureau of Enforcement won't forgive us."
Another tall, red-haired apprentice signed and shook her head: "So what? We may appear to be disciples, but we're all nothing more than slaves to the patriarch. We'll die if we disobey him, due to the Contract ."
All dark Sorcerers follow the patriarch's order.
A true dark sorcerer enslaves numerous apprentices through "contracts."
This kind of absolute slavery contract actually had to be signed by both parties completely voluntarily. Most disciples were greedy to take this path.
The apprentices basically have no way to go against any orders from the patriarch. Only when their master, a.k.a. the patriarch, dies, can they gain freedom.
Some of the dark sorcerers were slaves to another, more powerful patriarch, and so on. This system of domination creates the entire dark sorcerer's world.
Several people had an unwilling look on their faces. If they did, they would die, if they didn't, they would die. It was truly a desperate situation.
"If that's the case, then let's kill a few more people and bury them with us."
In the crowd, a bald man opened his mouth, there was anger in his eyes, he wanted to vent!
The other disciples were not good people either. In reality, most of them had done unforgivable evil.
"We have no choice!" Let's have some fun at the end."
"Last time I killed a family. That father knelt down and begged me to spare his son'. The feeling of being in control of everything filled me with joy... But that kind of situation is very difficult to chance upon. Today, I might be capable to find that excitement again."
"Wanna say it's all the Tower of Babel's fault, They were the ones who made the patriarch break the rules... Once we're caught, we'll immediately die because of the Contract. We can't tell others about Mr. Weasley. This old fellow can truly stay out of it."
The red-haired woman remained silent. If she weren't in a desperate situation, she wouldn't have gone down this path at all.
Her name was Sella, and she was one of the better ones of the many apprentices, but Weasley had taken her up easily. The old man said he'd get a great boon. He didn't need any more apprentices.
Sella silently sighed and muttered: "There's nothing I can do at this point. In any event, I've lived a few more years. I'm satisfied."
The patriarch, Weasley, was going to use them as bait to attract the attention of the Department of Enforcement and thus complete his plan with Black Star. They could just pray for a miracle if they wanted to turn the table.
"The time has come, we must begin."
The bald disciple suddenly stepped forward and took a deep breath.
He personally aimed at stopping a car not far away and recited an ancient incantation that ordinary people could not understand.
"Flame, listen to my prayer!"
Red-gold flames condensed in the bald man's hand and roared towards the car, instantly triggering an extremely violent explosion.
"Ah!"
Many people around were affected by the blast. The flying flames made the sky seem even brighter!
"Hahahahahaha! I've always wanted to do that! Go fuck everything up!"
The bald man threw his head back and laughed out loudly. Death seemingly to have given him a great motivation to destroy everything!
Everyone was frightened and wanted to flee in all directions. The other black-robed people had already acted and laughed sinisterly, wanting to create a frightening large-scale attack.
Sella stood in place without moving, not even the slightest bit interested.
She looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly had an idea.
"From now on, more and more people with supernatural powers will try to break the rules."
Someone had already been injured. Crises and wails rose all around. Sella secretly extincted the flames on the legs of a mother and daughter.
At that moment, she and the other apprentices suddenly lost control and yelled in unison.
"We are all loyal to the master of the Tower of Babel!"
The disciples froze, not understanding why.
Sella, however, quickly realized what was occurring. This was a trap set by the Weasleys.
"Because he and the Black Star Society became allies, the Tower of Babel also became an enemy."
Speaking of which, what was the Tower of Babel...Who are they anyway?
Sella had another inexpressible thought.
Could the Tower of Babal have anticipated today's events?
No, how can this be?
This matter was planned by the elders alone. The Contract also binds the executors...
"Its time for a real display of skill!"
A crisp, adorable voice suddenly spoke. Sella, the bald man, and all the apprentices frozen.
They saw a little girl with a white mask slowly approaching. She was a complete contrast to the crowd who panicked and ran away. She standing calmly in front of them.
She was wearing pink fluffy rabbit pajamas and cute white bunny slippers. In her arms was a dog with red plaits. And the Pomeranian kept shouting at the bald man.
"Woof woof woof woof woof!"
Maryse was very tense. If she could move, she would drill a hole in the ground with her toes.
If I break the law, please send the Bureau of Enforcement to punish me instead of letting me suffer like this…
It wasn't Maryse's first time on a mission, but it was really the first time she'd been in such a bizarre dress.
'Thank God they don't recognize me,' she assured herself forcibly.
Maryse had already predicted that the Tower of Babel had the power of a Cognitive Filter. Her father would have caught her already elsewhere.
After all, she had no alibi, and her abilities matched the suspicions in the case completely. However, no one in the family suspects her.
Maryse marveled at the master's power. The Savior was genuinely unfathomable!
She knew that one of her family's Civilization Class Relic "Script of Pseudo" also has a similar ability to directly modify the target's worldview and common sense.
For example, asking someone to reverse the notion of "sex" and "eating".
Not only powerful, but also unimaginable.
However, Maryse preferred the family's other Civilization Class Relic, "Nidhogg's Whine", which was powerful enough to shock the world.
"It's you!" The confrontation causing the bald man to break through the cognitive filter. He quickly achieved who the little girl was. She was the operator of the Tower of Babel.
"She is the Tower of Babel Soul Apostle!"
The bald man was shocked. He instantly prepared to release a fire spell at the little girl.
Maryse's mind was still wandering as her body began to move.
She stepped to the left and inclined her head slightly. Explosive fireballs flew by her ears. Maryse stared blankly at the now-stunned bald man, her heart shouting. 'Shit, shit, shit, almost lost my head!'
She still holding the Pomeranian with both hands. Her eyes under the mask turned from green to silver-white as she focused at the bald, black-robed man in front of her.
"Don't look at her eyes!"
Sella closed her eyes and reminded her, she knew that it was a special spiritual power activated!
It is too late. The bald man's eyes were blank. He was clearly under mental control. The angelic voice came out of the depths of his soul like a monster.
[Become my chess piece, attack your accomplices.]
The bald man turned without hesitation and aimed a powerful fire attack at his two acquisitions.
"Ah!"
The flames burned on their bodies and screams immediately rang out.
Soon someone was controlled by the "Soul Apostle", and they began to kill each other.
The Black Sorcerer apprentices all tried to attack Maryse, but she dodged them rather effortlessly. It was like if this girl had foreseen! The apprentices commenced to scream and wail!
Sella had snuck into a corner, sweating, waiting for the fight to end.
If she had to choose a way to die, she did not want to burn at all. She'd rather be taken by the Bureau of Enforcement at the end.
"I heard that the Bureau of Enforcement's execution is painless…"
Sella was trembling and mumbling, suddenly hearing a dog barking.
"Woof woof woof woof!"
The first thing she saw was the white bunny slippers, followed by the cute pink rabbit pajamas. Sella looked up and saw the little girl with silver eyes underneath the mask.
The Pomeranian in her arms looked curiously at her.
"Ugh!"
"Hello, I heard your heart" Maryse said to the red-haired woman deep inside.
Honestly, the scene was too bloody and violent for her to deal with. She just expected it will be over soon.
Sella's eyes went blank. She had clearly become a prisoner of psychic power.
——
Maryse stood in the center of the street, followed by Sella, the bald man, and another dark witcher's apprentice. A pale blue gem at the bald man's waist fell and shattered to the floor with a wave of her hand. It was a virtual bomb made with a special ceremony. It had the power to destroy the street. The dark Sorcerer's apprentices didn't even know it.
"Mission accomplished." Maryse opened her mouth calmly.
Flames blazed in the promenade. The crowd slowly recovered from the horror and turned to Maryse. This beautiful girl had saved them.
Maryse felt the looks. Her heart pounds as she listens to the thoughts of countless people.
[Is she an angel?]
[It's this girl who saved us...]
[ Thank!]
This kind of feeling of attention will never be felt after the age of eight!
She didn't notice. Under the mask, the corners of her mouth were slightly opened from above, and she was increasingly able to accept everything as a member of the Tower of Babel.
At this moment, an unpleasant masculine voice suddenly appeared.
"That girl is the Soul Apostle! Arrest her immediately!
Maryse was a bit stunned, her mind immediately calmed down.
It was the Night Watcher from the Bureau of Enforcement!
"Bureau of Enforcement , Night Watcher, Bureau of Enforcement , Night Watcher..."
Maryse seen that a group of men wearing black and white suits had gathered around her, and her head spun dizzily.
Oh no, I'm going to be arrested... I won't be able to eat caviar in the future.
Oh no, I'm going to be tortured… don't hit me. I promise to tell you everything I know!
Oh no, I'm going to be executed by the Aurora... I heard that it's painless? But I don't want to die…
Maryse was just a little girl. She didn't have much fighting experience. Facing this situation, she was completely confused and did not know what to do.
If it was Kaytlyn, she would definitely escape immediately.
The leader of those Night Watcher was a cold-looking young man, Quill. He was dressed in a black suit, and there were vague scars on the corner of his eyes.
He was crouching and cast a spell. Shadows extended out from him and wrapped around Maryse like the dark flag from hell.
At this moment, Maryse wasn't scared at all. Instead, she had a decided thought, 'He will save me!'
Yes, Maryse felt that "Savior" could definitely save herself, just like in those videos the black fog saved "Nightblade".
The black figure had wrapped around her body, creating a restrictive effect.
The Night Watcher looked euphemistic.
"Gotcha!"
Quill still looked seriously and did not dare to lower his guard.
The slippery feel of the shadow frightened Maryse into crying.
"Since you claim to be my master, don't disappoint me!"
The black mist suddenly appeared behind her.
Night Watcher was completely taken by suprise. They feel an invisible terror that etched itself inside their minds. They shuddered all over.
It was like the first time they walked on a dark street alone when they were young. They did not know where the hazard was, but they were too numb to control the spread of fear.
Quill frowned, saying: "Is this the power of the Master of Tower of Babel...."
The black mist slowly engulfed the "Soul Apostle" and the three Dark Sorcerer's apprentices.
Quill tried to increase the power of the spell, but he could not stop the black fog at all. And they all vanish.
The Night Watcher looked at each different confused. Quill stood up and said coolly, "What are you doing? Hurry up and save them!"
After some time, the Night Watcher noticed something strange.
Although the scene of the assault looked tragic and there were many injuries, no one died.
The attack had been a failure in consciousness.
But the most perplexing thing of all was that the onlookers claimed that both the attacker and the rescuer had claimed to be "loyal to the master of the Babel Tower."
"Weird."
Quill fell quiet. He withdrew his phone and reported the situation to the chief.
——
Aoi made an excuse to leave the villa.
The group of people thought about going out in the middle of the night to play, but he didn't want to participate.
After everything, that middle-aged man will also come with them. If he stays any longer with that man, he will be stressed out. He would certainly not be able to sleep at night.
The rain had stopped in Melthis, so he put away his umbrella for a while and went to the bus stop.
Aoi was waiting at the station pavilion. Suddenly, he heard the passers-by discuss the incidents that happened in the pedestrian street.
"Have you heard the news?" There was a Beyonder attack on the sidewalk street. it was a big mess. At least ten people died.
"No way. Did you see the video? At least 100 people died.
"That's right. I've seen the video on the account of Tower of Babel. Several people commented that more than 200 people died, and almost ten thousand people agreed."
"I see. That has to be the truth."
The more Aoi listened, the more ridiculous it became. It was he who manipulated "Soul Apostle" to clear the mission without any injuries, and the bomb was removed. It was impossible for hundreds of people to death.
He was under the impression of " Tower of Babel " inside, the better the evaluation of one mission, the fewer casualties there would be.
Aoi took out his phone and followed the video. The pixelated "Soul Apostle" easily defeated the enemy to control the situation. However, the fire at the scene was really large. No wonder so many people created casualties.
At the end of the video, Night Watcher appears, Aoi is a bit stunned.
A lot of netizens also criticized Night Watcher.
Golden Darkness: Who the Hell are they???? How dare they attack a adorable girl?
Scarlet: Looks like they're officials. If superpowers truly exist, the government isn't just going to ignore it.
Rose Puppeteer: Beyonders has existed for a long time. It's just that it was revealed right now.
NoOneRepeat: The attacks were also loyal to the Tower of Babel? Was this internal strife?
Autumn Taste: I think... the Tower of Babel seems to be a just organization. Maybe weshould support them?
Aoi scrolled through the comments and realized that everyone was even more anxious. He started to think about how to prevent such an incident in the future.
Next, there was a group of people who were shouting to support Tower of Babel, but didn't know what to do.
He suddenly reminded one thing.
"I forgot to set the study of mutation technology. The logistics personnel are already sufficient.
He immediately clicked on the screen of " Tower of Babel ", he clicked on the Mutation Technology Research Lab and invested the three logistics personnel.
Game Notification: Logistics staff are engaging.
"Logistics staff are engaged. The Mutation Technology Research Laboratory has been opened. Please select one technology to study."
Aoi realized that only one new tech button was lit up. He clicked it.
"Choose the research materials to invest in."
He dragged "Dark Photography" to the lab in the bottom slot.
"Familia · Dark Photography is invested. The research has begun. The current rate is 0%. No acceleration and no output.
All he had to do was wait.
Some Relic, Core Operator are even technology itself that could increase the efficiency of research, but there was still no need to do that.
The bus finally stopped at the entrance to the neighborhood, Aoi very quickly returned to his house, he laid down on his bed and found that the two core operators were out of the Healing Fountain.
The Mood girls all increased to 8, and the "Soul Apostle" Loyalty level also finally improved, and directly from 3 it increased to 5.
"This little girl is easy to comfort."
Aoi looked at the phone screen and felt suddenly unbelievable.
Just by operating his phone in such a small place, he can influence the future direction of the entire world. Was it fate?
"So what exactly is the origin of "Tower of Babel"?"
As the wine started to kick in, he fell asleep in deep thought.
——
Three people who had just arrived in lay quietly on the vast grass.
The bald man, the red-hair woman, and the chubby old man. They all wore black wizard gowns. In reality, they were the Dark Sorcerer's apprentices who had just been captured.
Soft music played. The bald man slowly woke up from his sleep and felt a sharp headache.
"Where am I?"
He looked around in a dazzle. They were in a large green pasture. It seemed empty. There was just a large white research institute behind him. It was very large, and the science-fi-colored door was nearly a hundred meters tall.
A cold and heartless young male voice rang out.
[Be thankful to the Tower of Babel. You have been given a chance to aton for your sins.]
[ Finish your mission in exchange for points to survive.]
"Who the hell are you?!"
The bald man found it difficult to understand all of this, roaring loudly, his heart filled with anger.
[You have violated the rules of logistics of the Tower of Babel. This is your first warning.]
"What rules, what warnings?"
The next moment, the bald man feels a violent tremor from the depths of his soul as if all his cells were wailing.
He wanted to yell, but he couldn't even make a sound. The pain instantly made him incontinent, and his brain started swaying.
"..."
The bald man's eyes went blank, and he fell to the floor, unable to talk or think. After a long time, he slowly recovered, but he still maintained an extremely intense fear.
Sella was slowly awakened. Soft, unadulterated music enters her ears. It sounded like a faint sigh.
She rubbed her long red hair, her face filled with bewilderment as she looked at everything around her.
The short grass that covers the mountains was broad and flat. In the light of the setting sun, the meadow was enveloped in golden quiet. It was vast and formidable.
The fat old man was the last to awaken. He was also extremely confused.
The two quickly heard a cold voice appear in their heads.
[Be thankful to the Tower of Babel. You have been given a chance to aton for your sins.]
[ Finish your mission in exchange for points to survive.]
Sella modified at the bald man convulsing on the grass, then up at the four suns in the sky, and the huge, majestic white institute behind her.
What the hell is happening? Where the hell are we?
She was breaking down.
-------------
The black mist engulfed Maryse's petite body. When she regained her feelings, she realized that she was already in the big pink bed in her bedroom. She couldn't forget what just happened. She didn't experience the feeling of being protected for a long time.
Maryse sniffed and felt a little satisfied with herself.
'Listen! Maryse! You're just deluding yourself. Don't give in to Tower of Babel.' She shook her head gently and sobbed. At the end, she couldn't fool herself that she was about to submit to the Tower of Babel.
Maryse smiled and lay down on the big bed, lifted up half of her nightgown, and scratched her white belly with her small hand.
'Power, reputation, everything is waiting for me! Hehe, I'm excited!'
[Soul Apostle, next you will enter the Tower of Babel, inside the Healing Fountain heal the damaged body and mind.]
"Ah."
Maryse froze for one minute as she heard the voice in her head. Unknowingly she pulled her pajamas down.
On the contrary, she did not feel too strange about physical treatment, because Augustus Family also had a special medical pool. As long as someone lies in it, the healing of their wounds could speed up.
Since the "magic water" in the medical pool was extremely expensive, only members of the Augustus family were qualified to use it. Servants and guards were out of question.
"So, even the Babel Tower has a medical pool. So does this mean I can enter the Babel Tower? Maryse was curious about how Babel Tower looked from the within. She pictured the Babel Tower as a powerful hold and massive magical tower. Covered with magic symbols, the electricity would turn anyone who touched it randomly into fried chicken.
"So, how would I get there? Through the black mist?"
Maryse expected the black mist to appear again. Instead, the "reality" in front of her started to shatter. The bed, cabinets, mirrors… Everything collapsed, separated, and turned into its most primitive forms.
The world shattered and reformed in the next moment. She stared at it all until she confirmed that she was in a completely different world from Noah.
There was a golden beach that was surrounded by white mist. The three suns in the sky with a gentle golden light.
"Is this the Tower of Babel?"
Maryse found it inconceivable. If this place is the legendary Tower of Babel, then is it really still in Noah?
This could be another world?
Who were the Savior? Some great being who lived from ancient times till the modern era? Could he be one of the Rainbows?
Origin, Metamorphosis, Monarch, Apocalypse, and Apotheosis were the five grades of Beyonders in Noah.
"The Savior should at least be at the Apocalypse grade," Maryse muttered to herself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make all of this."
The breeze carries the sounds and the scent of the sea with it.
She felt a seductive beckoning, then stepped slowly on the soft, warm golden sand.
——
"Again."
Kaytlyn takes a long breath. She is inside the Babel Tower again.
It's still Healing Spring... She was temporarily not qualified to go to other places in the Babel Tower, so she could only stay here to rest.
One day sooner or later, my position in the Tower of Babel will take another step forward. Kaytlyn secretly encouraged herself.
These days she is always in opposition to the Black Star Society, occasionally, she will encounter other cultists hiding in the city.
Finding Cultist was a talent of Kaytlyn's bloodline. As long as it was related to something from the Outer God, Kaytlyn could sense it.
She walked toward the sea, as usual, knowing that Healing Spring in the Tower of Babel was an illusory sea and wouldn't get her clothes wet, so she didn't bother to take off her coat.
In fact, she still feels that the "Savior" might be peeping on her, so she feels nervous every time she took a shower and went to the toilet.
But Kaytlyn thinks about it calmly, she feels that she was overthinking a bit too much. How could someone as almighty like him be so perverted?
She walked over to the beach, and then suddenly realized that there was someone and quickly looked at them to see whoever it was. What she seen was a beautiful elven girl.
The Elven girl was only about 1m4 tall, standing about a meter away from the sea, carefully stretching out a small white foot to touch the sea surface.
Could it be that she is the Soul Apostle? Kaytlyn first had this idea.
She also watched the follow-up video from Babel Tower and realized that in addition to herself, there was also another female member named the "Soul Apostle".
Of course, she suddenly believed that there were more than two members working for this large and mysterious organization.
They were just paws pushed around by The Savior. There could be many other powerhouses.
Kaytlyn also discovered the power of the Cognitive Filter, the precautions she had been taking all along were useless... Although she didn't have a Cognitive Filter, she was confident that she could hide her movements.
Actually, the mansion that Kaytlyn had lived in since she was young was not somewhere that the world could approach. Instead, it was hidden in the fence. She considered for a moment, then went to her and hesitantly spoke.
"Hello."
"Ah!"
The little elf girl was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She was so scared by the sudden sound that she jumped!
Who is it?
Maryse soon saw a girl come out of the mist.
It was a white haired girl with an alluring figure. She wears a black trench coat, and the crucifix around her neck looks familiar. Her amethyst students glowed red bright, and quiet.
Maryse suddenly narrowed her eyes and focused at Kaytlyn's plump chest for a long time.
'No, no way! It's impossible!'
It was also Kaytlyn's first time seeing the elven girl clearly. In the video, she is a small pixelated figure. She had an excellent and beautiful face, well-kept hair that was as fine as golden silk, fair white skin like milk, and flawless emerald-colored eyes.
'Angel?'
This is Kaytlyn's first thought. Besides looking at herself in the mirror when she was just a child, she had never seen such a cute face in her life.
'What an adorable little girl.'
Maryse heard Kaytlyn's thoughts and snorted inside her mind. She had seen many of people who judge a book by its cover.
She laughed cutely and said in a childish voice: "You must be Nightsaber. This is my first time in the Tower of Babel. I didn't expect this place to be like this.
In fact, the two people are not much different in age.
"I don't come here often." Kaytlyn replied calmly. "Like what you said, I am Nightblade, this is the nickname the Savior gave me."
So you are not much more senior than me?
"Speaking of, Nightblade, do you know where the Healing Spring is?"
Maryse looked around. She did not see any spring anywhere. All she saw was an endless blue ocean and golden sand.
Kaytlyn said calmly: "This sea is Healing Spring."
She impulsively reached out her hand to take care of the little elven girl's blond hair, but Maryse avoided it.
Frankly, even though it was their first meeting, Maryse didn't have a good impression of "Nightblade".
She was the only pixelated character in the video. However, Nightsaber showed her real face, so she had more supports.
At that moment, Maryse heard the Nightsaber's thoughts.
'So I'm not the only new member. I joined Tower of Babel sooner than her. I have to protect her in every possible way.'
Maryse was slightly taken backward. She bundled her lips. 'Well, I'll tolerate her today'.
"Nightblade, did you meet any other members?" she asked with a smile.
For Kaytlyn, family and organization were similar and incredibly important. As a senior, she naturally had to take care of her subordinates.
She replied calmly, "No, but I've met the master, the Savior... He's an extremely mysterious, powerful, and strict existence."
'And he's very scary…'
'Yeah, I know that, too. Powerful and especially frightening.' Maryse nodded with great feeling.
Kaytlyn looked at the sea in front of her and said, "As long as you walk into this sea, you will feel, um... very comfortable. Your body and mind will be healed.
'Next time, I shall grab my swimming suit after hearing his voice.'
"Wow I will try!"
'I'll be fine. I'm sure she isn't lying to me.' Maryse gently lowered her small feet into the blue water.
Suddenly her mouth opened slightly, and her eyes expanded! It was a fantastic feeling, spreading from tiny toes to the body. It was as blissful as returning to her mother's stomach.
Facing the infinite calm sea, she seemed to see a gentle and grand light rising from the intersection of the sky and the sea.
Unbidden, Maryse relaxed her body and soul then slowly, let herself be submerged.
It was as if she had become a handful of real water flowing into an endless sea.
It was as if she had become a handful of real water flowing into an endless sea.
Dissolving in the world of all things.
Non-existence.
"Mom..."
Unconsciously, Maryse had shed tears. She found herself lying on a golden beach when she appeared out of her trance.
Maryse feels more comfortable than she had ever felt in her life. She had never experienced anything like this and couldn't return to her sensations for a long time.
She tried going into the sea water again, but there was no such feeling.
"So it's like that, It's only once." Maryse looked slightly frustrated.
Kaytlyn had already come out of the sea, sitting quietly on the sandy beach, tilting her head up to look at the distant sky.
There was a faint yellow light in the sky blocked by the fog. Only a little bit of it reached the ground, but light still exists.
"What are you thinking?" Maryse asked suddenly.
Why is a little girl getting involved? Those damned bastards didn't even spare the kids back then. It would be the same for her.'
'Even if she is an adult within human standards, she is a child even for elves.'
'This world needs change, and it needs salvation. And the Tower of Babel will accomplish it.'
'I was lucky enough to be selected, so I wanted to replace the people who shouldn't fight, but fight more.'
Kaytlyn turned back to Maryse and said indifferently, "I was just thinking about what I should do."
'Savior, please give me more strength... For those who need protection.'
Maryse sat down, staring at "Nightblade", holding her knees with both hands for a long time without opening her mouth for half a day.
"Ah."
It seemed like she couldn't hate this person.
"Actually, I can..."
Maryse wanted to say that she could hear her thoughts, but she suddenly felt nervous and squeezed her hands tightly.
"No, nevermind."
