“！”
In the cellar, the black-haired girl who heard the call snapped out of her daze. She realized that Luo Ya had appeared beside her without her noticing.
At this moment, Luo Ya was covered in dust. His coat was still stained with blood and dust after the battle. However, unlike his clothes, the black-haired young man had a firm and powerful expression. His golden pupils shone in the dark cellar, gentle and calm.
When she met his gaze, Lilian seemed to have forgotten about the bloody hell she was in. She forgot about the indescribable pain and unhappiness she felt. An inexplicable sense of intimacy shone in her heart like a beam of light, snapping her out of her daze.
However, it was also because of this that Lilian suddenly felt an unbearable sense of shame. As an elder who had always been worried about Luo Ya, she didn't want to show it. She had an inexplicable feeling of not wanting the young man to see her unrecognizable self.
"Don't look at me! Get out! "
Her hoarse voice issued a strict order. This was the first time Lilian had spoken to Luo Ya in such a tone since they met. Her words were strong on the outside but weak on the inside, implying that she was imploring him. Unfortunately, Luo Ya couldn't comply.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister. We're of the same rank. You can't order me around."
"You! Let go! Let go of me! "
Looking at the girl who kept struggling to retract her arm while crying with her head lowered, Luo Ya's face twitched. He was filled with regret.
He didn't expect that Senior Sister's condition would be so serious. She probably saw an illusion when she tried to touch the corpse earlier.
Thinking of this, the young man steeled his resolve. He thought for a moment and reported the news to the panicking girl.
"Senior Sister, Miss Merdy is safe. The Blood Sacrifice Church's bishop died after he was defeated by me while escaping."
“.....”
The black-haired young man softly reported the situation on his side. The sudden news successfully diverted part of Lilian's attention, causing the girl to stop struggling. Seeing this, Luo Ya continued.
"The matters outside are almost done. I'll report to the academy tomorrow morning. This incident will be considered over."
"Senior Sister, can you not stay here any longer? Everyone outside is worried about you. "
“.....”
Under Luo Ya's soft persuasion, Lilian's expression finally softened. However, the corpse of her friend beside her seemed to blame her silently. The young lady turned her head and was about to look again when Luo Ya stepped forward and blocked her view.
Luo Ya felt like a nightmare to see someone she once knew turn into a badly mutilated corpse. The scariest part was that Lilian was also the head of the security department. This could be said to be the biggest knot in Luo Ya's heart. But after careful consideration, Luo Ya came up with a countermeasure.
"Luo Ya?"
"Senior Sister, don't look anymore. Don't tell me you think it's your fault?"
"Of course, I'm the head of the security department. If I had discovered this earlier …"
"Stop joking. What does this have to do with you?"
Luo Ya frowned and asked angrily.
"The Blood Sacrifice Church has existed here for at least ten years. How many ministers of the Ministry of Security have there been in the past ten years? Senior Sister, do you think they're all guilty? "
"The leader of this cult, Matthew, is a teacher. He knows the movement patterns of the Ministry of Security like the back of his hand. It's impossible to discover them through normal means. Senior Sister, are you able to predict the future and solve this problem?"
"And most importantly, although the victims are our seniors, strictly speaking, they're outsiders after graduation. The Ministry of Security is the department responsible for the safety of all students. They're not under their jurisdiction at all. Moreover, none of the students in the school were harmed. Senior Sister, are you going to deny the hard work of the Ministry of Security?"
"No, of course not! But … "
Luo Ya's question made the young lady hurriedly deny it. However, the pain in her heart couldn't be easily eliminated. Luo Ya looked at Lilian and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
After a month of interaction, Lilian might have understood Luo Ya, but Luo Ya also understood her.
Although Lilian had a cold personality, she wasn't emotionless. It could be said that Lilian attached great importance to friendship and familial ties, far more than anything else. This was also the reason why the Austin Empire had been able to maintain a balance of power.
Her two elder brothers were unable to surpass level 3 of the Source rank and had no advantage other than their age. If Lillian really didn't care about their brotherhood, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get rid of them with her innate talent and powerful backing. However, she had never thought of doing so, even though she knew that they hated her to the core.
She didn't fight for it, not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to.
Lilian's gentleness was silent and difficult to capture. Luo Ya, who had experienced it during the remedial classes, couldn't be clearer.
