In a pleading tone, Darlene expressed her wishes to Adele in her heart, and Adele was slightly startled after feeling it, and then immediately answered unexpectedly.
"Liberation? No... Don't be like that, Teacher! Don't give up! The secret world is so big, and there are so many extraordinary means in the world. There must be something that can save you and make you recover... I will do my best to help you, please don't give up!"
Holding the cane tightly in her hand, Adele said anxiously that she didn't want her efforts to save the teacher to end up with such a result. After Adele finished speaking, Darlene paused for a moment, and then responded to Adele again. This time, her mood was gentle and soothing, just like when she taught Adele in the past.
Listening to Darlene's new response, Adele stood there in a daze. She didn't say a word for a long time. Tears inadvertently fell from the corners of her eyes. Finally, she spoke slowly.
"Salvation? Damn it... I understand... Teacher... I will listen to you..."
Adele said with difficulty, and then Darlene gave Adele the final response. After hearing Darlene's response, Adele wiped her tears and finally nodded heavily.
"Thank you... Teacher, goodbye..."
As she spoke, Adele reached out to the iron rings on the cane that were engraved with curse words.
…
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the day gradually gets longer.
At night, when the lights were on, in a private room of a bar in East Dvorian, Adele, dressed in a plain black dress, was sitting in her seat with her hat and sunglasses placed beside the table. She was looking at the bustling crowd outside the window with a silent expression, not only thinking about something, but in front of her, detective Ed, who was dressed the same way for thousands of years, was also looking at Adele's face.
"So, your teacher begged you to help her get rid of it. She wanted to die?"
With a solemn expression, Ed looked at Adele who seemed a little dazed, and whispered softly. Listening to Ed's words, Adele nodded slightly and continued to respond without turning her head.
"Yes... After falling into the hands of the Wolfblood Society, the torture she experienced was worse than death. After being turned into that state by Doctor Tu... the torment that we cannot understand and feel has already devastated her spirit and made her extremely fragile. She is always thinking about being free. I offered to find a way to help her recover, but she said that she could no longer hold on in her current state."
Looking at the scene outside the window, Adele murmured in response, and Ed frowned slightly as he listened to her words.
"Can't hold on?"
"Being eaten alive, leaving only the brain and nerves, being put into a jar, being used as a prop, being squeezed by those beasts all the time, we cannot understand what it feels like, what kind of torture it is... In short... the teacher's spirit and soul have been destroyed to the brink of collapse. If we wait any longer, she will completely lose her mind and go crazy. It is better to free her now and give her some peace."
Turning her head, Adele looked at Ed and spoke slowly. Dorothy had never seen Adele with such a gloomy expression. She controlled Ed to continue speaking.
"So you freed her?"
"I guess so. I destroyed the control device on that damn scepter, and then the teacher's power could be released freely. She used her own power to end her life. After her death, I felt the release of my soul. In the end, even her soul was so broken and fragile. Maybe it's really like she said. Before I can find a way to restore her, she will go crazy first... This may be the best choice."
As she spoke, Adele poured herself some red wine, drank it all in one gulp, and continued speaking with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Heh... I didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, I thought I could finally save the teacher, but I didn't expect this to be the outcome..."
"No, you saved her. If it weren't for you, your teacher would still be suffering and becoming a tool of the Wolfblood Society. You don't need to blame yourself for this." Ed comforted Adele. Listening to Ed's words, Adele chuckled.
"Thank you for your comfort, great detective, but don't worry... I haven't reached the point of self-pity. It's just that some of my unrealistic expectations have been dashed. If I can bring peace to the teacher, this trip is worth it.
"Anyway, this operation is all thanks to you, Mr. Detective. If it weren't for you, not only would I not be able to find my teacher, I might also get myself into trouble. I am able to stand here now all thanks to you, Mr. Detective. I never thought that a small mark could save me from death... I am very glad to be able to hire you, Mr. Detective. Of course, your reward will not be small. I will give you all my teacher's research materials."
Adele said this to Ed. Listening to her words, Ed's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then he asked.
"Hasn't your teacher been freed?"
"Yes, but when she was freed, she also left some things for me, some of her mental power and some of her memories. From her memories, I found that her research materials were not actually taken away by the Wolf Blood Society, but were hidden in a safe place. I will go back and take out all the materials, and then send them to you through the White Stonemason Society. You just have to wait patiently after you return.
"Of course, I don't think that little thing is worth what you did for me today. No matter what, I owe you a favor. Detective, if you need any help in the future, you can always come to me."
Adele explained, and Dorothy nodded in the distance as she listened to her words, wondering if this was some secret technique of Darlene's, or some kind of magical phenomenon among the same kind of extraordinary people who were "enlightened".
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Adele."
"Haha, just call me Adele. No need to be so polite, Mr. Detective." Adele said this, then picked up the red wine bottle and began to pour red wine into two high-heeled glasses, muttering as she poured.
"To be honest, I don't want to be called Mr. Detective all the time... It's a pity that I still don't know your real name or what you look like... I hope that one day, I can see your true self..."
Looking at Ed in front of her, Adele handed the poured glass of red wine in front of Ed, and Ed paused slightly and spoke slowly.
"Perhaps... my true appearance will surprise you..."
"Haha, I've been in the secret world for quite some time, and I've seen a lot of strange things. As long as your true identity, Detective, is not some untraceable divine being, I won't be surprised."
Adele said with a smile, and then picked up the glass of wine in front of her.
"I won't force you to meet me, Mr. Detective, but tonight, I still hope you can have a couple of drinks with me, even if you're a puppet. The wine we're serving is from the bar, so you can drink it without worry..."
After saying that, Adele raised her glass and drank it all. Dorothy saw this and asked Ed to pick up the glass as well.
