Chapter 48: Sinking Sea (15) Warning of Exposure

[She did not see him.]

[That happened only once.]

That was what she had hoped for.

So she modified her "memory".

"You took most of the responsibility for that accident. The imperial capital erased your memory and asked you to work for the top leaders to eliminate those opposing voices that they were not convenient to deal with."

The stubborn nobles who secretly manipulated him, the emerging forces that were difficult to control, and the rivals on the opposite side.

Until that day, Babensken asked him to burn down a newly built church and eliminate everyone inside.

Sin did it.

The sky was full of flames, and the sky that night was as bright as day. Blood dripped from his fingers continuously, gathering into a river of killing, and the pure white was stained by blood. He looked up at the statue at the end of his sight. The no longer flawless cross was painted into a sinful look in his eyes.

1...15...90...

He couldn't count exactly how many there were.

He only knew that it was a number that could not be repaid.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably, and his numb pupils looked at the newcomer in silence. The stranger looked at him with a sad look, but he didn't know her.

She had long black hair that was completely inconsistent with the imperial capital. It spread out like an ink painting.

Something quietly wrapped around his neck, making him unable to utter a word. He saw the person in front of him stretch out his hand, as if saying something.

Sin didn't hear clearly. He grabbed her hand eagerly, eager to get her away from here, but he fell down before he could say anything.

He woke up in the hospital.

"You were covered in blood when I saw you that day, so I had to send you to the hospital. Although I changed my appearance, you still recognized me after you woke up. You told me everything. You looked...in pain."

"You suddenly said you were going to the hospital. You said you would probably have your memory erased again. Finally, you said that if I could see you again, you hoped I would kill you."

The few short lines in the file described his past. Sin was a little fascinated, but after hearing her words, he collected his thoughts. He raised his hand and rubbed Eleanor's head, and said gently: "It must be very hard. I'm sorry that you have to bear so much."

He lowered his eyes and calmly returned the file bag. "Besides... I still don't have much impression."

"But I don't think that's what I meant."

When people are in pain, they always lose more consideration and are more likely to hurt the people they cherish. Of course he wouldn't let her do it, because she would be very sad.

She was already very tired, and he didn't want her to suffer more. He just wanted her to get what she wanted and have a beautiful dream every night.

"So don't worry."

His eyes were cast towards the distant sea. Tonight was destined to be restless. The surging waves were getting more and more intense. The looming singing was lingering and gentle, like the sound of rain falling. Unfortunately, no one listened carefully, and it turned into worry in his eyes.

This was the first time that a special weirdness appeared in the inspection house.

"It's almost on the shore."

Eleanor said, "The tower still needs you to come forward to maintain order, I'll go and solve it."

Before Sin could react, the tall figure had disappeared from sight. He was about to go with him, but his feet shook violently, and the loud sound of shattering glass shook his eardrums. Sin looked down and saw the monster's silky tentacles wrapped around the entire tower. The

light blue striped tentacles slowly moved on the surface, emitting a soft sapphire glow, like a star that landed in the deep sea, beautiful, ethereal, and dangerous. Under the deceptive temptation was a strong toxicity, ready to devour everything in front of it at any time.

It seemed to be looking for something, and its movements gradually became a little impatient, and the tentacles retracted and crushed the wall.

Until it suddenly stopped.

... Something was wrong. Sin's temples twitched suddenly, and in almost an instant, the monster suddenly rioted and forcibly shattered the glass. At the same time, a sharp figure took the opportunity to climb up.

Sin shifted his gaze to look at the thin figure standing on the reef, and he realized something. He

has really grown up.

The little girl from the research institute can already use her own power to protect the growth of others.

"Are you going to watch the battle here all the time?"

"Huh?"

Eleanor was a little confused by the observer's question. She controlled the shadow to carefully attach to Makusuke's body, and only felt relieved to isolate the toxins that the special class brought from him. The young man, who devoted himself to the battle, did not notice anything unusual.

Eleanor kept smiling, "Are you picking on me? You told me not to act rashly before, and now you're doing this?"

Observer: "...No."

Observer: "But you look like you won't help even if Makisuke is killed."

Eleanor: "Ah, you actually said such a bad thing about him, it's really mean."

"It's just that he doesn't need me yet." The moist sea breeze soaked her nostrils and messed up her thoughts. She observed the movements on the other side, "This is good."

"But, letting a fifth-level warrior deal with the special class alone, even if it has just been born, it will be a bit difficult for ordinary predators to deal with it. This arrangement is unreasonable and has no chance of success. You know that yourself, right?"

Eleanor looked at the shimmering water, "So you didn't stop me from providing him with convenience, right?"

"Well, after all, it is mainly for Makisuke to get a moderate improvement, and I don't want him to get into trouble."

The shadow is acting recklessly. There is almost no area that cannot be set foot in the night, and it can easily accommodate everything. It is flexible and cunning, blocking all damage but unable to capture any traces, resonating with the surging waves.

The dark phantom revealed its entity, silently accompanying the side that no one else noticed.

Uros stood beside her, clearing away the monsters that were ready to move nearby while Eleanor dealt with the obstacles around Makisuke.

Shocking waves swept in, crashing into the reefs and breaking into countless tiny waves, and finally merging into a deeper layer of darkness. She raised her eyes, and the shadows woven into black threads, severing the tentacles that were about to fall on Makisuke. The

terrifying regeneration ability allowed the special to grow new predatory weapons in the blink of an eye, and it became even more violent.

This won't do! The staggering young man almost lost his balance and fell directly. He tried hard to steady himself. Makisuke gritted his teeth and thought of a countermeasure. His brain was working at high speed, but he had no time to concentrate on thinking before he was disrupted by the sudden attack. He had to deal with the problem at hand first.

Calm, calm, calm!

The sharp cold light flashed by, and the hard weapon could not hurt the monster at all. Makisuke did not dodge this time. He jumped onto the tentacles that could easily crush him.

It is obviously a marine creature, but currently only the tentacles are exposed, and the rest of the body is still hidden in the sea.

It should be a relatively fragile body structure such as the mouthparts and the head.

Force it to come ashore.

Makisuke made a quick decision. He clenched the dagger in his palm and jumped down as if he had put his last gamble on it!

The information he had read in the past few days basically explained how difficult the weirdness was. He was only at level five, and his ability was not enough. He could barely protect himself, let alone others.

Not enough, still not enough.

The dry desire had long been deeply rooted. When it found a suitable opportunity, it would grow wildly, and it turned into a reckless obsession that was deeply engraved in his eyes, like a raging fire, separating the precarious rationality from the dark side of the world after it turned upside down.

The sound of the wind was slowing down, as if it was going backwards, and a flash of inspiration quickly passed through his mind.

Splash -

was it the restlessness of a heartbeat or the sound of falling into water, he could no longer distinguish. The fragmented waves turned into a soft barrier that firmly protected the young man. The shadow disappeared the moment the water film formed, just like the most inconspicuous small bubble.

Makisuke opened his eyes against the discomfort. He saw the abyss, a visual feast that belonged only to Lan, extremely beautiful, but also despair.

He fell, down, down, and down again.

He reached out and touched the umbrella of the jellyfish. In an instant, he touched another self. Strange surging forces competed with each other. It was a feeling he had never had before. It didn't even seem like his original superpowers. The part that had been dormant for a long time was finally awakened.

But Makisuke had no time to pay attention to more. He concentrated on gathering that power into his fingertips and passing it to the creature under his palm. The blood could not be controlled and overflowed from his lips.

"Back off."

Back to the starting point.

The black shadow swam towards him along the current, carefully covering the young man's body to protect him from harm.

"Ahem..." Makisuke didn't know how he got to the shore in the end. The blood and water were mixed together. He glanced hastily, and then propped himself up and forced himself to stand up.

The tentacles resting on the surface of the tower lost their original beautiful luster, as if all the vitality had been ruthlessly taken away. Before

Makisuke could even breathe a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly tightened in the next second, and he suddenly stopped breathing.

The blue-white tentacles that were approaching transparency soon became active again, and began to completely violently destroy everything around them. It was so cunning, maybe it was really hurt, so it was happy to play this game, nothing more.

Makisuke clenched his palms tightly, struggling to deal with it quickly, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far away.

"Enough." A familiar voice.

He looked up at the cold eyes. Eleanor looked down at the young man, her gaze still without warmth, "That is extremely weird, you can't solve it, don't make trouble."

She left after she said that, without any nostalgia, as if the other party was just a passerby who was not worth mentioning to her.

The facts were not much different. They didn't know each other. At most, they just passed by each other a few times.

The bloody smell surged up to his throat, but Makisuke refused to pay any attention to it. His eyes began to sour uncontrollably again. No one had ever taught him how to face separation and reunion. What should he do if the other party didn't want to see him? His

rolling Adam's apple swallowed the mixed and uneasy blood foam, and his voice trembled so much that he couldn't find the tone.

"Teacher."

Teacher.

How could I not recognize you.

"I can feel that I have been protected just now."

"Is what the teacher did right?"
