[304 – Encirclement and Suppression of Corpse Cannibalism]

Since the last time Osvid’s grandson was beaten into a coma, Melissa has been fined by her father for a week in confinement.

Although Melissa belongs to the combat department and theoretically does not belong to Joseph, who made Joseph have as many friends as enemies?

Melissa’s current boss, Winston, is also a very good friend of Joseph.

So even if Melissa actually “captured the lower-level members of the internal corrupt gang” this time, she made a small contribution.

However, because the shot was too heavy, Todd was directly beaten into a concussion and failed to be rescued in time, which in turn affected her brain function and turned into dementia. The law of the Mystic Tower still sentenced her to seven-day confinement as a punishment for hurting people.

Of course, this is just an explanation on the surface.

Joseph is back now, and when he comes up, he directly carries an old-fashioned Great Knight of Glory, and there are more than a few ordinary formal knights involved.

An entire Osvid faction spreads over the four major divisions of the Mystic Tower. If Osvid is a towering tree that shades them, then these people are like tree roots, deeply digging into every part of the Mystic Tower. It is not an easy task to uproot them.

Although now their biggest supporter has fallen, they can no longer provide shelter for them.

But as the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to pass, and the devil is difficult to deal with. It is precisely these ordinary members who are usually not noticed, because they do not have the strength like Osvid to be fearless, and once something happens, they hide it even more. , it is not easy to trace.

What’s more, when Joseph was the sharp-edged chief radiant knight, some people who were offended because of his extremely righteous and upright character… Remember https://m. xswang.com

Now, with his high profile again, there will inevitably be a secret vortex.

Just like Joseph’s search of Osvid’s mansion this time, although he had a formal order from the Elder’s Seat and there was no error in the procedure, there were still people who made a fuss about Wilde’s affairs, accusing him of not doing his due diligence and letting him go again. This criminal who has become more difficult after two years, and let Osvid die directly.

It is even more outrageous to say that he may have colluded with Wilde, using the latter to cover up his incriminating evidence of his cooperation with Osvid…

In this case, if Melissa, who was to a certain extent the fuse, was allowed to continue training and tasks normally, she would be placed in the middle of the storm. Not to mention the persecution, even more embarrassing rumors would also be involved. Make the little girl miserable.

Although Joseph believes that proper mental exercise is beneficial to Melissa’s growth, the collateral damage caused by his neglect in the past two years has been vividly reflected in the Todd incident.

These “exercises” have long been enough… Now that he wants to come back, he naturally has to let go of his hands and feet and do his duty as a father.

Therefore, the name confinement is actually protection in disguise.

“Snapped.”

Melissa closed the book in her hand, let out a long breath, closed her eyes and recalled it, feeling a deep sense of tiredness and satisfaction.

“The cornerstone of all things turns out to be the same… the same foundation, but different substances are formed because of the different ways and sequences of arrangement and combination, and if you can manipulate these cornerstones with ether, you can master their form… control their existence.”

“I was only able to ‘see’ the existence and structure of these cornerstones before, and on this basis, using the cracks and unstable places in them, I could even break down the shields that could defend against destruction-level attacks, like That’s what I did to Todd.”

“But in other words, I can only do things to this extent.”

“If there is really a Destruction-level in front of me, I can’t support it for a round, because I have no chance to force out the Destruction-level defensive measures… On the contrary, the Destruction-level superhuman can kill me in one face, because I only It can see through, but cannot defend.”

“But what if I could manipulate them, or even deconstruct the aether? Devastating attacks would fall apart too!”

“It turns out that this is the real power.”

Melissa was thoughtful, her eyes flashing with excitement, almost joyful.

She looked very haggard, with dark blue eyes under her eyes, pale but excited.

It’s been three full months since she got the “Key to the Door: Origins” at the bookstore, but she hasn’t had a glimpse of it until now.

Before that, she even fell into an involuntary state until she fainted every time she read the book.

Although it is indeed learning, it is extremely inefficient like a primary school student who directly gets a high number and then forcibly instills it.

At her previous level, it was not enough to understand one ten thousandth of this book.

It is not that she is learning knowledge, it is knowledge that is eating her.

The more incomprehensible she becomes, the more eager she becomes.

So she can only keep reading… But her body can’t support her spirit, so every time she reads, she must use external force to relieve such a state, otherwise she will collapse and die.

In such a painful learning process, Melissa’s spirit and body have been tempered repeatedly.

The strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of panic level.

Just considering that the Mystery Tower’s countermeasures against the bookstore are unclear, she deliberately hides her strength, and not many people know about it…

“Next, there’s no need to keep hiding. According to what Dad said, the Secret Ritual Tower will be tilted towards the bookstore in an all-round way, and pleasing Boss Lin will be the only strategy and the first priority.”

Although the elder seat’s order is definitely not as simple as “pleasing Boss Lin”, it does not prevent Melissa from understanding it.

Melissa laughed out loud.

The people who first came into contact with the bookstore, including Joseph, Melissa, and Caroline, will naturally become the core of all the actions of the Mystic Tower in the future.

In other words, those who are still thinking against Joseph have already stood on the opposite side of the elders’ seat.

“They’re just killing themselves!”

Melissa thought so, and stood up holding the book.

This is the confinement room of the Secret Ritual Tower, a confined space that is only one person high and one square meter large. The only two furnishings are a table and a stool, which are extremely narrow.

During the confinement period, there will be three hours of conversation each day, which will be held during the three meals a day. You can also bring items such as books and Rubik’s cubes to avoid psychological problems. After all, the purpose of the confinement is not to torture, but to reflect .

Melissa was often locked up in the past. The transcendents of the Mystic Tower were not mortals. They were only locked up for three to seven days, which would not cause any psychological shadows.

This is the last day of her confinement.

The moment Melissa stood up, a door appeared on the wall behind her and slowly opened.

One of her instructors in the combat section stood at the door, expressionless, and handed out a stack of documents.

“Melissa, the confinement is over, there is a new task.”

Melissa took it over, took a closer look, and frowned: “Encirclement and suppress the corpse food sect’s stronghold on 67th Street…”
