Chapter 722 – #155_Party(3)
#722
One.
The pitch-black hallway flickers in pure white.
The long shadow of Rinne along the wall also flickered.
– Kuku kung!
Rebuttor Late thunderclap.
Rinne looked up at the slanted window with her sword tucked into her waistband.
Hexsenacht is a near-perfect pocket space.
However, it is difficult to say that it is completely flawless.
There is almost no change in the weather, repeating the early winter weather and endless nights that always breathe.
But sometimes it rains with thunder and lightning like this.
The structure of a vertical city and huge cauldrons placed throughout the town.
Thanks to this, the cumulonimbus cloud sprinkles localized showers like this.
Arcana Town, where the Almak Club is located, was not as close to the sky as Hyangwolru, but the sound of thunder that amplified the volume of a huge cavity resonated deafeningly.
“…….”
It was like that that day too.
The rain shower, which had fallen like a curtain, followed the wind and pierced the ground in a crooked manner, scratching the ground roughly.
Even if I cried out because my throat would burst, I couldn’t hear it in my ears.
It was a bitterly rainy day.
Linnaeus turned her head to her left.
From the middle of the long Western-style corridor, wooden floors covered with sad mud are connected like a mirage.
Lynne was there.
“To the left.”
The hands that covered young Linne’s eyes.
Linnaeus followed the owner of her hand, dragging her rain-drenched, heavy clothes.
“Look closely, don’t forget, keep in mind.”
The figure of Rinne as a child who shimmered like a ghost soon disappears around the corner of the hallway.
But as for her teacher’s voice, she licked her ear as if whispering right next to her.
“Life does not tolerate weakness.”
Rinne recited the afterword that she had already chewed thousands of times and stuck to her mouth like a spell.
“All tragedies are by-products of weakness.”
As if possessed, Linnaeus, who was about to follow her younger self and her mentor, shook her head roughly at the sound she heard at her feet.
“…….”
Looking down, I see Lydia’s secretary wriggling like a worm, making a gurg gurg sound.
She roughly grabbed her by the ankle and threw her into the room where she had just cut her lock and shut it again.
Linnaeus pursues her unmistakable strength, and in the process she does whatever it takes.
But she wasn’t a killer who cut down and kills anyone at random.
The beheading of her secretary wasn’t Linne’s formal attitude.
What was actually wielded was not a sword with physical substance, but a sword in which Rinne’s image materialized.
It’s just a sword of the heart.
But the human imagination is great.
Isn’t the story of a sailor who died from freezing in a frozen warehouse with the power off already famous as an anecdote of the nocebo effect?
With a bit of magic added to that, it is possible to temporarily ‘kill’ consciousness.
Like Landa, the unknown secretary will fall into a coma for at least a week in the midst of a communication error between the ‘spirit that recognized death’ and the ‘body that announced normality’.
Anyway, since she had used her magical power enough to be detected around her, the time limit became even tighter.
While drawing a map in her head, she was about to head to Lydia’s studio where Siwoo would be waiting for her.
I looked back as if I had forgotten something about her.
“…….”
Got the strength
To resist a life that does not forgive weakness.
The weak girl who vomited just by looking at the corpse and shed tears at the roar and shouts of weapons colliding died.
Then.
If you just turned the corner after the illusion.
Did you see a different look from that time in your memory?
The corridor, which was unnaturally connected to the past like a scene in a dream, has returned to its original state, boasting polished marble.
“…….”
Linne hated rain.
Because she brings back thoughts of the past that can’t be undone.
It was unavoidable.
PTSD caused by intense trauma in childhood.
Linnaeus never felt her happiness or serenity to cover it up.
Her scars remain there forever, not scabbed or left as scars.
Rinne, who was crinkling her nose in displeasure, shook her head.
I don’t have time to play with thoughts like this.
Now is the time to save Shin Si-woo.
2.
“Looking at the house well, Mr. Seo. Let’s play when we get back.”
Lydia waved her hand around her and waved her goodbye, then left Siu alone in the workshop.
After the encounter with the witch of Aries, the prom ended without incident.
Although there were occasional incidents where she asked Lydia if it was a product Siu was selling.
So it wasn’t if she had no income.
“He was still alive….”
In a way, it is the reason why Siu became a witch and her teacher’s enemy.
Because she got to see the witch of Aquarius, Ea Sadal Melik, even from a distance.
When he finally raped her and extorted her magic, Ea had become a fool who couldn’t even properly operate her self-defense.
However, where she was and what she was doing, her magical powers, which were much more ferocious than when she first met her, suggested that she not only completely restored her stigma, but also reached a higher level.
Even the hardliners of Hexenacht took a particularly radical stance, and even obtained small information that they were conducting independent activities without belonging to Qliphoth.
As long as she had more time to think alone anyway, she had enough time to think.
The topic of concern is ‘Is it okay to stay under Lydia?’
First of all, Lydia is not particularly hostile towards Siwoo.
It can also be said that she received help unintentionally.
By killing Bondi Lodge, she buffered the plan, which should have been completely twisted, to the extent that it was only ‘half’ twisted.
In this case, the part of concern had been thoroughly chewed over, so it was passed, and Siwoo’s focus was set elsewhere.
Exactly this.
These are the words she said to Lynne when she had a brief affair with Lydia before attending her prom.
‘Linne came to visit. They said they were looking for you anxiously.’
It is within the expected range that Rinne goes looking for Siu.
The yard where the student who said he was going to play at Rosie’s mansion suddenly disappeared.
Besides, isn’t Siwoo a super-high-value collectible called a male witch?
‘It’s quite a way to make that Rinnae fall in love. Huhu, by the way, the title is Nanggun. I thought she was dying of laughter?’
However, Lydia’s words are beyond the expected range.
Was she smitten?
Is the title nanggun?
A remark that made her doubt whether the Rinne that Lydia met and the Rinne that Siu knew were the same person came out of her mouth.
Lydia was talking as if the reason Linne was looking for Siu was her “To find her lover.”
It is all the more suspicious because it was a defenseless leak of information to simply tease or deceive Siwoo.
“Not really. After that day, I was pretty awkward.”
She plays hard to get rid of Linnaeus, and as a result she tells Linnaeus her womanhood, but she gives up the mount position and is slapped until her nose bleeds.
After that, I didn’t talk to him until the next day.
“No way….”
In a situation where the head is tilted, something comes to mind.
According to Linnaeus, she is incapable of feeling happy.
But for some reason, she felt pleasure enough to shed tears during her relationship with Siu.
What if, as Dorothy said, ‘Don’t go round and round~ why don’t you just use your peppers to capture it?’ Actually happened?
“Ah, the world isn’t some kind of training assistant, Yagem.”
I laughed out loud at the thought of falling into a side road.
No matter how frustrating the situation is because you can’t grasp the situation, delusion is also a delusion.
If things in the world went on so simply, I would have captured Linnaeus, Lydia, and the witch of Aries I met today, and made another Gehenna.
At the moment when he was laughing, Siwoo sensed the wave of magical energy that resonated throughout the studio.
-Kang!
And after a while
The clear noise of cutting very hard steel into even harder steel resonates in my ears.
“What.”
It was because the intuition that had been trained in countless battlefields was informing that the person who had just entered was not ‘Lydia’.
Perhaps one of the hardliners noticed Siwoo’s existence and came to kidnap him.
Siu raised his body reflexively and habitually tried to create armor.
However, the performance of the leash stuffed to enslave the witch was perfect.
It was an artifact created by none other than Lydia herself, using her own hands.
The identity of the person who entered the bedroom faster than Si-woo, who tried to check the trend by jumping behind the bed.
“Master?”
It’s linne
She was staring at Siu with eyes shimmering with black magical light.
“How is this….”
Rinne, who had approached with great strides, stopped in front of Siwoo.
It was normal for her to be expressionless, stiff like a mask, but Rinne hesitated in front of her as if she was dealing with a very difficult person.
“I came to the rescue,” She said. We have no time, so we must hurry.”
But soon, a desolate voice that is no different than usual hits the ears.
“How did this happen?”
“I don’t have time to elaborate. The witch of gold coins will return soon.”
During that short period of time, Siu tried to figure out how this had happened.
If he had come as a guest, he would not have come into the workshop with a drawn sword.
Moreover, just by looking at the nuance she said, it was not hard for her to guess that this was an illegal trespass to save Siu.
In other words, Linnaeus chose to turn against Lydia, one of the powerful powers of Hexsenacht.
The reason is to save Siu, not to mention her.
“Why so far?”
Siu asked, unable to hide his embarrassment.
Originally, she was Rinnae, who couldn’t figure out what she was thinking, but this time she really had no idea.
Rinne stiffened as if Shiu’s question contained a very deadly paralytic toxin.
Like a skilled swordsman, his shoulders, which were always relaxed, were stiff.
“…….”
Rinne licked her lips, quickly averted her gaze, and then uttered a low voice.
Is it an optical illusion given by candlelight that the red ears peeking out through the silky hair?
“… One o’clock is urgent.”
It was once again a mess in her head.
It is clear that it is not right to leave the fate in Lydia’s hands, but is it really reasonable to follow Rinne, who has become the enemy of his enemies through this riot?
I’m more concerned about whether or not I’m going to mess things up a lot.
“I know what you are concerned about. I know you killed Rosie.”
Rinne opened her mouth first, as if she knew Siwoo’s feelings.
“But trust me this time.”
Siu, who was unable to use magic anyway, could not refuse Rinne’s will.
Rather than surrendering herself to the destiny that others foretold her, she has no choice but to surrender herself to the new flow.
“… All right.”
“Then, get up.”
Lifting Shiu for her speedy escape, Rinne ran through the corridors of the Almak Club with footsteps like the wind.
