"You …"
Feeling the stinging sensation on her cheek, Alice could only cover her face in a daze. She stared at Rozen and completely lost her reaction.
Not only Alice, even Ye Ye and Xin didn't expect Rozen to suddenly slap Alice. They were all at a loss of what to do.
Only Rozen maintained the posture of waving his hand, staring at Alice with uncontrollable rage in his eyes.
"Jealousy?"
So Rozen said coldly as if he couldn't restrain his anger.
"What right do you have to be jealous of them?"
The cold and merciless words made Alice hold her breath.
But …
"Just like what you said, both Frey and Xia Lu had bad experiences. But compared to you, one of them was saved and the other still has the hope of redeeming everything. It is indeed worthy of jealousy."
Rozen's voice was like a sharp arrow, piercing into Alice's heart.
"But compared to them, what have you done?"
Yes.
Compared to Frey and Xia Lu, what had Alice done?
"Frey had been working hard before she was saved. In order to save a group of dogs that she regarded as her family, she didn't hesitate to face an invincible enemy at the night meeting, even letting her heart go berserk and her life be in danger.
"Xia Lu had also been working hard. Even though her family was separated and her family was in decline, she still didn't give up. She kept working hard to become the Demon King, but she didn't give up and did whatever it took to become it. She still upheld her duty and mission as a noble, allowing things that had to be settled to happen before her eyes.
"It is because they never gave up and kept working hard that they have the value to be saved, the reason to be helped, the right to be loved, and the right to be supported involuntarily.
"What about you? What did you do? "
Rozen's words were sharp and realistic.
"You gave up on yourself and gave up on yourself. You didn't work hard and weren't realistic. You obviously have a smarter, sharper, and more flexible mind than them, but what you did in the face of desperation was nothing compared to them. You didn't even struggle. You just kept immersing yourself in it. Let me ask you, what right do you have to be jealous of them?"
The merciless accusations were like sharp blades, piercing into Alice's heart one by one.
But wasn't that the case?
Perhaps Frey was not as smart as Alice, and Xia Lu also did not know how to use everything to achieve her own goal like Alice did. From his point of view, both of them were too naive and immature. It was only because they were lucky that they were saved, and because they did not despair, there was still room for redemption. But at least, the two girls were not discouraged because of this. They were still working hard, struggling, and fighting.
Compared with them, Alice had no more than a clever mind.
"If you gave them your brain, they wouldn't need anyone's help and rescue at all. They would've found a way to get out of this predicament by themselves."
Rozen kept throwing out his own words.
"You clearly had the weapon they needed the most, yet you abandoned yourself there. Serves you right for not being able to be saved."
"Serves you right for not being saved."
These words finally became the last straw that broke Alice's back.
"— — —"
Alice tightly pursed her lips, lowered her head, and hid her expression under her bangs. She could not say another word.
"Miss …"
Even Xin couldn't say a word when she saw this. Her expression was one of pain and heaviness.
The spirit of words on both of them had been removed.
However, both Alice and Xin continued to kneel there, unable to move for a long time.
Only Ye Ye, still standing beside Rozen, looked at Alice with some sympathy.
It could only be said that, as Rozen said, Alice deserved such an ending.
"Since you don't want to struggle, then just wait for death. Don't turn from the victim to the perpetrator."
Rozen turned his head, no longer looking at Alice.
"Leave here, don't let me see you again."
This was the last bit of mercy Rozen could show.
As he had said, he had taken everything away from Alice. She no longer had a place to stay in the academy, England, or even Germany. She had lost all her status and power, and she would be hunted down and retaliated by the academy, England, and Germany. She would not even be able to keep her life.
So, the grudge between him and Alice had ended here.
"Want to be caught, want to climb back up, or wait for death, it's all up to you."
"If you want revenge, whether it's a civil or a physical battle, I will accompany you."
"But don't think about the people around me again."
"Otherwise …"
Rozen only left such a sentence.
"Next time, I won't let you live."
After that, Rozen turned around.
"Let's go, Ye Ye."
"Yes."
Rozen and Ye Ye walked side by side, heading in the direction of the field training field.
At this time …
"… Frankberg's purpose in this night gathering is not just to dominate, let the Knights of the Cross become the winner, and take the throne of the demon king."
Alice's low voice came from behind and entered Rozen's ears.
"Frankberg also has another purpose in this night gathering, and that is to intervene in the academy's research."
That one sentence made Rozen stop in his tracks.
Alice was still speaking in a low voice.
"You've seen it too, right? That place under the academy … "
An unknown underground facility, a dark place that hid unknown secrets.
"That is the academy's biggest secret."
Alice said faintly.
"On the night of July 7, when the six kinds of things sprouted, man will be the agent of God, like a flawless jade, authority will be subverted first, and foreigners will be accepted, and then the shackles of domination will be removed. The capital will be filled with the song of purification, and the rain of stars will be the omen of the creation of heaven and earth. The boy will come, the king will sit on the throne of heaven, and look at him, beside him is —
"Doll."
From Alice's mouth, the godfather's prophecy was chanted.
In other words …
"That is the key to the birth of Divine Machine."
Alice whispered as if she was prophesying something.
"Although this is my personal opinion, the reason why Divine Machine was born in the night gathering and appeared in this academy is because of that."
And that was the Academy's research, the reason Edward Rutherford wanted to hide there, much less be there.
Frankberg wanted to intervene in this research and benefit from it.
That was why Alice had been paying attention to that place before.
"— — The Fool's Temple."
Alice told him the name of the underground facility.
"If you don't want to be used, then remember this name."
That was all Alice had to say.
"Swish …"
Behind him, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out and gradually faded away.
Rozen didn't even need to look back to know that Alice had been taken away by Xin.
"Rozen …"
Ye Ye approached Rozen and called him softly.
Rozen didn't respond, just raised his head and looked ahead.
Over there, the guards and members of the Morals and Discipline Committee rushed over amidst the commotion.
