Chapter 778: My tutor is so prestigious?

When Christina woke up again from the nightmare that she quickly forgot, she was a little afraid to open her eyes.

Because she was a little afraid that once she opened her eyes, she would see something horrible that she shouldn't see...

Although she had prepared herself mentally and knew that the atmosphere in the Spirit Tower must be quite dark - this was too dark!

It's really useless.

The little girl's sarcastic voice echoed softly in her heart, along with the sound of the wind:

[To be frightened like this...]

Although it was the voice of a little girl, her tone was as mature as that of an adult.

"——What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? If you show this to ordinary people, at least eight or nine out of ten will be scared!"

Christina argued in her heart.

After getting to know Alice, she was no longer so afraid of her.

So, do you consider yourself an ordinary person?

Alice's laughter was like a silver bell: [You... want to be an ordinary person? ]

For a moment, Christina was silent.

I don't.

She said in her heart.

Then, with the mental preparation of "seeing a ghost", she suddenly opened her eyes.

As a result, Christina unexpectedly saw a room decoration with a girlish style.

Purple tulle, reminiscent of grapes, adorned the corners, blocking the view. Curtains were adorned with winding green vines, and silver wind chimes hung from the ceiling. She lay on a soft bed, not a gruesome dismemberment table stained with blood and oil. A large, brown, bear-shaped doll, nearly her own height, rested on top of her, perhaps the source of her suffocating nightmares.

Suddenly, Christina felt her body lighten and she could breathe more easily - the stuffed bear had been taken away.

"She's awake."

Aurora's cold and emotionless voice sounded slowly.

She was the one who took the teddy bear away—and judging by the color of her pajamas and the curtains in her room, this might be her bedroom. Similarly, she might have been the one who covered her with the teddy bear before...

Aurora was a student mentor assigned by the Ziggurat. Christina still remembered this very cute but cold girl. She was said to be a fourth-level genius... and she looked even younger than herself. This made Christina both envious and respectful.

Christina had just been in the Ziggurat for over a day and didn't sleep well last night.

Logically, with Alice protecting her, she shouldn't have been so frightened. But soon after she arrived, several ghosts resembling little girls floated over and pulled Alice out of her body to play. Alice was, after all, only half the height of an adult, and it was rare for her to encounter her own kind... Even though she was a fifth-level evil spirit, she was still taken out by the other ghosts to play, returning only at dawn.

——How irresponsible!

Christina said viciously in her heart.

Alice snorted guiltily and didn't dare to respond any further.

Ever since her soul was photographed, Christina has had complete clairvoyance - she can easily see a ghost coming through the wall and looking at her curiously from time to time, which makes her always feel as if she is being spied on.

Christina is not yet familiar with the lifestyle of living with ghosts.

If she could view these ghosts as objective entities, like the wild "seniors" from other schools, rather than some untouchable, terrifying spirits, she wouldn't be so scared and might even chat and play with these friendly ghosts. But she obviously couldn't... because when she saw these ghosts approaching her, her whole body would be filled with fear and she would scream.

But at the same time, she couldn't completely regard them as something unreal, so she always felt as if she was being spied on and that "someone" would break into her dormitory at any time... and at this moment, they seemed to exist in her heart.

I feel that they exist and I feel that they don't exist at the same time. I am afraid of them as ghosts, but I am also afraid of them as people.

This made Christina feel creepy all night... It was rare to be scared to the point of fainting, but it was a chance for her to catch up on some sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was already hungry.

but……

Christina watched Aurora effortlessly carry the giant stuffed bear away, feeling a momentary bewilderment. She felt as if something was amiss...

"--Hello."

At this moment, a calm young man's voice rang out. Christina knew it was the typical voice of a "good kid" or "excellent student"... She knew he must be very smart.

This was the last sound she heard before she passed out.

However, the voice was no longer coming from a head with eyes still open, but from a handsome young man in dark wizard robes, with a gentle and composed demeanor. He perfectly matched Christina's image of a "handsome necromancer"—handsome yet with a certain aloofness, his perfectly balanced dark circles under his eyes and pale complexion evoking a smoky, dark aesthetic...

You can even get dark circles, are you a genius?

Christina sighed in her heart.

Because she was mentally prepared this time - and because of Alice's provocation, Christina was not so frightened.

In reality, she'd fainted because she'd spent the entire night surrounded by ghosts, leaving her mentally fragile. It was mainly because Aurora had come up to her while she was having breakfast, thrust a finger into her hand, and told her to follow after her meal... She hadn't recognized the symbols on the wall, so she'd walked in completely unprepared.

Now that I think about it, it was probably a laboratory or a classroom. Having so many limbs shouldn't be surprising to a necromancer...

...Not surprising, probably.

"Hello," Christina responded hesitantly, "Excuse me, was I dazzled earlier..."

"No, it was just an accident."

The young man, looking deadpan, replied, "I'm terribly sorry about that."

You said that, but you didn't look apologetic... you looked rather proud. Are you trying to get me to praise you?

Christina muttered to herself.

"...That thing is really amazing."

She forced herself to smile and gave vague compliments.

I'll praise you for your handsome appearance...

“Right!”

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his speech speed suddenly increased. "I made a lot of prototypes at first, from a humanoid undead with six arms, to one with hands growing out of its head, and then one with hands growing out of its legs. Later, I wanted to plant them in the ground and grow them as flowers... This idea actually sounds good. I took notes, maybe I can recycle them later. One of the main reasons I didn't proceed was that the 'cluster of hands' couldn't actually grow multiple arms. As they grew, they would block the sunlight from the leaves. However, if the sunlight absorbed was concentrated on the skin, transplanting it into the human body might pose unknown risks. Perhaps if a botanist cooperates with me, we can study the idea of ​​growing internal organs on trees... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Albert Lore, you may have heard of me."

...What are you talking about? It sounds amazing, but also weird...

Christina felt a little dizzy, her brain filtering out the part that felt a little off, but her intuition told her it was best not to pursue it. But she clearly heard and understood the last sentence.

"You are that Albert Lore!"

She was suddenly shocked.

The young master of the Lore family is arguably the biggest star in the world, especially in the city of Leipzig!

At the age of ten, before entering the supernatural realm, he was able to spontaneously awaken the dead by crying; at the age of sixteen, having become a supernatural being for more than two years, he was able to repair and transform spirits without the help of tools; at the age of eighteen, he had independently created thirty-six unprecedented new types of stitched corpses, eight of which are still too advanced to be released to the public; at the age of twenty-five, he reached the fourth energy level of the dual path... It can be said that he is a "natural great man" who has the opportunity to reach the fifth energy level before the age of thirty, and the fifth energy level of the dual path before the age of forty.

He is undoubtedly the most powerful candidate for the next Black Phase!

While still a freshman at university, he was personally awarded an honorary knighthood medal, territory, and estate by the King for his contributions to the field of corpse stitching. Without ever having served a single day on the battlefield, he was publicly commended by the Minister of War and awarded the rank of Lieutenant. Now, even before graduating from university, he's already joined the national-level alchemy workshop "Star Antimony Laboratory" and assumed leadership...

To protect him, the genius necromancer's specific appearance was not reported. No photos or personal information about him were available to the public, and even on the black market.

If it weren't for the fact that Aiwass of Avalon had now become the Eternal Pope... many people on the planet would have believed that Albert Lore was superior to Aiwass Moriarty of Avalon, the strongest and most talented Transcendent of the younger generation! He was even the so-called "future of the planet"!

——Shouldn’t he be in the “Star Antimony Laboratory” now, working on the research and development of confidential projects?

One of Christina's seniors had once boasted to her, "Albert Lore's ongoing project could reverse the situation in which Star Antimony is currently being unilaterally suppressed by Avalon. If successful, Star Antimony could launch a fierce counterattack against Avalon." His family was involved in smuggling against Avalon, so this information was likely accurate.

But...how did he return to the Ziggurat? Was the project bankrupt now?

etc--

Christina suddenly remembered that her "student mentor," Aurora, had affectionately hugged Lore's head yesterday. If we ruled out the horror stories about "leading the charge," then... could they be in that kind of relationship?

My mentor actually knows that legendary figure?!

Christina was overjoyed.

In her opinion, the genius Luo Lei was undoubtedly a great figure on the same level as Earl Dawn. Although he was not yet at the fifth level, that was only temporary. In the future, he would definitely surpass him...

And she almost sold herself to Earl Dawn for a month for a few dollars—she was even afraid that she would sell her soul in the end. And in front of Earl Dawn, she was not even a person.

Now she had the opportunity to be associated with this great man who could shake the planet, would definitely be in power in the future, and might even have the chance to ascend to the dream world and become a god. This was all thanks to Miss Aleister!

Just as Christina was thinking this, Albert asked hesitantly, "I heard... you are Aleister's man?"

"……Why?"

She was stunned for a moment: "You also... know my mentor?"

Even a big shot like Albert knew that respected gentleman?

Who is she?

"tutor?"

Albert was shocked when he heard this.

He quickly exchanged a glance with Aurora, then realized something: "Were you resurrected by her personally?"

——Can you even tell that I was resurrected?!

Christina was shocked.

Things like resurrection...she thought it was some kind of unspeakable taboo.

But at this moment, Christina felt her body suddenly go cold and her skin tighten, a sign that Alice in her body was controlling her.

When Alice came up, her pupils were suddenly covered with a dim yellow and became dull.

"—When you were unconscious this morning, I was the one who controlled your body and brought you here. Otherwise, did you want to be carried here by a bloody, stitched corpse?"

Alice said softly, "By that time, they already knew you were a resurrectionist... But, having said that."

Christina frowned slightly and looked at Albert: "I seem to have seen you somewhere. Are you the one with 'Ban'..."

"'Stranger', sir. 'Ban' is the Count of Leipzig..."

Christina watched as Albert placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to her earnestly, "I'm honored to see you again."

--What?

Is my tutor so prestigious?

Christina, who had no idea who "Aleister" was, was stunned.
