"Is anyone there?"
Kevin's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, the door shattered, revealing a petite human figure behind it...
"My door..."
Otto was on the verge of tears.
"That's something I made with soul steel, and it's only just finished..."
Kevin was a little embarrassed, turned around, and said awkwardly.
"Wait a minute... send someone to World Serpent with the bill, and I'll reimburse you..."
Otto: "..."
There's nothing you can do, the World Serpents are just rich...
Then, the little girl hiding behind the door slowly revealed herself; it was Seele.
“Seele Freya?” Otto narrowed his eyes, then his expression softened.
"Why are you here...?"
"It's you?" Kevin was slightly taken aback.
"Kevin, do you know her?" Before anyone knew it, Dr. Mei's gaze had turned somewhat hostile...
"Ahem..." Upon seeing this, Kevin quickly explained.
“I saw her in the Sea of Quanta before. She has a native holy mark, and I wanted to recruit her to the World Serpent, but she refused. Believe me, it's definitely not what you think…”
“Darling, I believe you, after all…” She glanced at Seele and said confidently.
"They're not even in the same league..."
Everyone: "..."
“I remember… you’re Jiang Mu’s subordinate, right…” Walter said calmly.
"What, now you remember your captain? Unfortunately, your captain is dead, exploited to death by you vampires."
"What!" Seele exclaimed in shock.
"Captain...he..."
Seele's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face...
"Huh?"
Seele's reaction left everyone stunned...
"Cough cough..." At this moment, Otto coughed a few times and said.
“This…Miss Seele is a little different from the others…”
After Otto explained, everyone's expressions became quite interesting...
"Ahem..." Amidst the awkward silence of the group of men, Mei, Kallen, and Yae Sakura were comforting the distraught Seele...
"No, Captain is perfectly healthy, why..." Seele's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the report...
"This..." Everyone shook their heads, and just as they were about to explain, Seele's pupils suddenly changed color.
"Seele".
"Who are you!"
The change in Seele startled everyone. They stared intently at "Seele," Walter said solemnly.
“You should be the consciousness of the holy mark within her…” Kevin said slowly.
"That's right."
"Seele" nodded and said to Otto.
"Greent, do you have a monitor here?"
"Wait... what did you call me?"
Otto was about to retort when he was stopped by the other two big shots.
"We can discuss other matters later; let's deal with the important stuff first."
Frustrated, Otto pressed a button, and instantly, the blinds closed, and a projector slowly rose.
"what are you up to?"
Everyone looked at "Xier" and said.
"well……"
"Xier" sighed slightly, took out a USB drive from her person, and said.
“Wait a minute, let’s show this to Seele…” Seele said with a sigh.
"Originally, I made a promise with him that I would never let Seele know about these things, but now... since that idiot is dead, I don't need to keep my promise anymore..."
As she spoke, she wiped away the faint tears that were visible at the corners of her eyes.
"The rest is up to you. Don't let this coward act too impulsively, please..."
As she spoke, the dark red in Seele's eyes gradually faded, and in no time, her eyes returned to their previous pure sea blue...
“Just now… I… Xiao Hei…” Seele was a little confused. Just now… it seemed like Xiao Hei had taken over her body, but unlike before, Xiao Hei didn’t choose to open her senses, but completely shut down her perception of the outside world…
“The story that follows… may be a little cruel…” Otto said slowly, looking at Seele.
"Whether you look or not is entirely in your control..."
“I want to see!” Seele said, clenching her fists.
She understood that Xiao Hei's actions just now must be related to what was about to happen...
Otto didn't say anything, but silently opened the USB drive.
At the same time, the image on the projector slowly flowed out...
………………
When the laser cannon beam pierced through Jiang Mu's palm, almost everyone turned their heads away in disbelief...
Unlike these combat elites, Jiang Mu, a mere researcher, didn't possess physical abilities significantly different from the average person. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Mu, who spent years confined to the laboratory, was physically inferior to the average person…
Yet Jiang Mu was able to endure without making a sound; such willpower is truly admirable…
And that bloody... no, it should be said that charred wound almost made Seele scream...
When she saw that Jiang Mu and "Xi'er" had agreed to keep the secret, Xi'er finally couldn't hold back anymore...
It turns out that every time I acted cute, it caused so much harm to the captain...
Even so, the captain always gently accommodated her... that gentleness never changed...
But the price of this tenderness is far too heavy...
"Captain... Captain..." Seele finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
She was filled with resentment, resentful that she hadn't noticed the strangeness between Bronya and the captain sooner, that she hadn't stopped the captain before he left, or that she could have gone with him, or at least said goodbye to him in person... or apologized...
………………
"well……"
Everyone felt a pang of pity. Several women came to Seele's side and gently patted her as she was about to faint from crying, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but for a moment, they couldn't think of anything to say...
Finally, the progress bar reached its end, and the room gradually darkened...
“Don’t lay a hand on them…” Otto murmured. “That was the last promise I made to him before he left, but now… sigh…”
“Thank you, Bishop Otto,” Seele said sadly, bowing slightly.
“You…you can go…” Otto wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand.
“Hmm…” Seele slowly walked out, and just as she was about to turn around and close the door, she suddenly remembered that Kevin had already smashed the door to pieces…
………………
And so, Seele boarded the drone in a daze, returned to St. Freya Academy in a daze, and then, still in a daze, arrived at the captain's room...
Inside the room, there was still the same dilapidated wooden bed and old chair. The only thing with a hint of modernity was probably the rusty table lamp…
