Melissa was expressionless.
While they were all here to gild themselves, she was different.
"Don't worry, Melissa." Bella, who was part of the investigation with her, walked over and said softly.
"There have been cases of patrols being attacked before, but as long as we stay in this mansion, there won't be a problem. The instructors have set up a defense mechanism here. It's very safe. "
Melissa nodded.
"I'm fine … Thank you, Bella."
She had always felt that she was special.
From the moment she awakened her dark powers, she knew that she was different from the others.
Compared to the students around her, she preferred to immerse herself in excitement, danger, and excitement.
Just like the time when she awakened her dark powers.
She had awakened her dark powers during an assassination attempt at her birthday party.
At that time, the thrill of life and death had left her trembling, and she could not control herself.
She had just awakened her dark powers, and at the cost of her injuries, killed three armed assassins.
And she had also attracted the attention of Asterism. After that, she was sent to Baine University to learn how to control herself.
"Don't be afraid …" Bella looked at Melissa's fluctuating expression, and thought that she was worried and afraid, and reached out to hold her hand.
"I know …" Melissa suppressed the irritation and longing in her heart. She held Bella's hand instead.
* Clack. *
Suddenly, the mansion door opened.
Lin Sheng's tall figure in a trench coat quickly walked in.
"Captain!" The team members waved at him.
Lin Sheng nodded gently at everyone, and looked at Melissa who had stood up.
"How are you? Are you alright? "He took off his trench coat and hung it on the hanger as he asked softly.
"No … Everything is normal, nothing happened." Melissa shook her head. "No clues, and no results …"
"Don't worry." Lin Sheng patted her on the shoulder. "We are not Asterism, we only need to collect information, and do our best to ensure the safety of the town, the rest will take over. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. "
"Yeah, I know." Melissa was influenced by Lin Sheng's gentle voice, and relaxed a little.
"You look very tired. Go take a bath and have a good rest." Lin Sheng reminded.
Melissa nodded and picked up her coat from the sofa. She said goodbye to Bella and went upstairs to her room to shower.
But as she walked up the stairs, she couldn't help but recall the corpse that had died in front of her during the day.
Traces of suppressed flames and the urge to seek excitement slowly flowed from the bottom of her heart.
Just like when she had awakened her dark powers and killed the first assassin.
When she reached the corner of the stairs, she couldn't help but look back at Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng was asking Bella about the day in a low voice, his expression natural and peaceful.
As if noticing her gaze, Lin Sheng turned around and smiled at her.
Melissa only felt that the pair of faint golden eyes were like sharp arrows, piercing deep into her heart. It was as though he was stripping away the surging desires and impulses in her.
But strangely, she didn't feel any discomfort.
"Golden eyes … Is there anyone in this world who has golden eyes?" With that question in mind, she returned a smile and went back to her room to shower.
Lin Sheng retracted his gaze and continued to answer Bella's questions about dark powers.
Having absorbed the memories of a large number of researchers in the research center, while his understanding of dark powers was not as good as the professors, but it was far from what these normal students could compare to.
No matter what question Bella asked, he would easily and succinctly answer. This made Bella and the rest of the team members look at him with passion and trust.
He dealt with the team members' questions and quickly got up and went back to his room.
That earlier moment had stirred his heart, and he curiously used his innate divine ability, Detect Evil, and secretly cast it on Melissa.
But he did not expect to get an interesting result.
In his memory, there were many people, and many experiences. He had seen many people like Melissa, who were born with potential, and he had seen many of them.
In Melissa's eyes, he saw the surging flames, the desire to suppress and endure.
She was born to be evil.
But the morals and restraints of society had forced her to tie herself up. She forced herself to endure and suppress.
Lin Sheng found it interesting.
Because a person with potential like Melissa was actually a rare talent. If she was guided properly. Her soul would explode with unimaginable power.
She was a potential genius, but she had been repressed.
In fact, in society, many people were such potential geniuses. But not everyone could be lucky enough to find the field that was most suitable for them to unleash their talent.
Most people would be mediocre in a field that they were not good at, toiling away their lives.
When a person with potential was guided to the field that they were good at, they would explode with unimaginable power.
"Even if it is an evil, as long as they use their power on the right path, they can also explode with unimaginable power."
Lin Sheng was in his room, purifying and absorbing all the dark spirit beads he had obtained. After getting used to the increase in soul power, he was about to close his eyes to train his dark powers.
Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
He got up, put on his coat, and gently opened the door.
At the end of the red-carpeted corridor, by the window, stood a plain-looking girl with braided braids.
She was wearing a simple yellow nightgown, sexy and alluring, with a steaming cup of coffee in her hand. She was standing under the moonlight, looking out of the window.
"Melissa?" Lin Sheng walked out of the shadows and called out softly.
The girl by the window quickly turned around, and when she saw Lin Sheng, she forced a smile.
"Captain, you're not asleep yet?"
Her Migan language had a trace of southern countryside accent.
Melissa came from a large farm owner family, and it was normal for her to have such an accent.
She came from a wealthy family, but she did not know how to dress up. Even after two years in school, she still dressed like a country girl.
"Yeah, I was training my dark powers. I heard your footsteps, so I opened the door to have a look." Lin Sheng walked closer and stood beside Melissa, also looking out into the forest.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?" He asked softly.
Melissa shook her head.
"I'm just … thinking about the clues during the day." She lied.
Lin Sheng smiled.
"Which clue during the day?"
"The footprints we found in the pine forest." Melissa's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly found an excuse to cover up her lie. She did not expect Lin Sheng to suddenly ask such a detailed question.
"Is that so?" Lin Sheng smiled. He did not speak again.
Melissa heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes. But there's something I haven't figured out yet. "
"What were you thinking about just now?" Lin Sheng suddenly asked again.
"Clues, the footprints in the pine forest."
"Hmm, okay." Lin Sheng smiled.
He paused for a moment.
"Oh yeah, how did you settle your meals during the day? Lunch … What were you thinking about just now? Were you really thinking about clues? "He suddenly stopped, and quickly asked the same question.
"I … I was thinking about clues … Didn't I just tell you?" Melissa was a little embarrassed.
"You know what? When a person lies, once the lie is correct, they will subconsciously fall into a temporary state of relaxation. Because they think that they have gotten away with it. Suddenly asking the same question at this time, a person will most likely become angry out of embarrassment. Or they will get stuck. "
Lin Sheng smiled as he looked into the night sky.
Melissa was even more embarrassed, but she did not know what to say.
"Are you worried?" Lin Sheng suddenly asked. "Worried about what you have been suppressing and enduring?"
Melissa's face that was flushed red from embarrassment earlier, had turned pale.
She turned her head and stared at Lin Sheng.
