A dagger the length of a finger came out from Aisphany's sleeve.
It was one of the few weapons that Aisphany had on her.
Therefore, it was exquisitely crafted and had a sharp edge.
Especially the narrow edge of the dagger, it was as smooth as a mirror, allowing Aisphany to see what was behind her without even turning around.
However, when Aisphany saw what was behind her, she was stunned.
Long grayish blonde hair, light blue eyes and that familiar face.
It was herself.
But it wasn't herself.
Because the 'herself' was very old.
It was her from a few decades later.
Moreover, under her gaze, 'she' was still aging.
Gradually, her hair lost its luster, her eyes turned turbid, her teeth fell off one after another, her admirable face was wrinkled like a tangerine peel.
"NOOOO!"
After a sharp scream, Aisphany dashed towards where Kieran and Orderfell were at as if she had seen the most terrifying scene.
However, just as she moved her feet …
Kieran, who was sizing up the wolf head, turned around and smiled at her.
His cold, eerie smile could send chills down one's spine.
Even though Orderfell was growling like a beast beside him, it wasn't as terrifying as the smile.
Through the smile, she once again saw the past that she didn't want others to know about.
The days where she was tortured by hunger, torture, and never saw the light of day.
'Idiot, you couldn't even steal the wallet back.'
'Idiot, how dare you return the things you stole back! They are pitiful, aren't you? In the coming week, you will know how pitiful you are. '
'Useless bastard, this kind of useless bastard should be sold to Old Derry.'
…
The scolding from her parents in her memory drowned Aisphany like the rising tide.
When her memory started to freeze, her sight was covered in blood.
Her parents, who scolded and pressured her to sell her, died in front of her.
Their bodies were dismembered, leaving only their skeletons.
Then, the two skeletons wobbled as they stood up.
"Why did you kill me?!
Why did you kill me?! "
The two skeletons screamed.
Miss Swindler, on the other hand, was curled up, her body trembling.
After the continuous changes and the biggest secret in the depths of her heart were dug out, she could no longer tell whether it was real or illusory.
"Sorry, sorry."
"I don't know what happened."
"I really don't know."
"Sorry, sorry."
Mademoiselle Swindler buried her face in her knees and held her head, mumbling to herself.
He allowed the two skeletons to approach him.
Then …
Pa!
Miss Swindler suddenly felt pain on her left cheek.
The fiery kind.
It was as if someone had slapped him in the face.
Aisphany raised her head blankly.
The two skeletons had disappeared at some point. In front of him was Kieran, who was holding the wolf's head in one hand and still holding the other.
I was slapped in the face?
Did he hit me?
What was that just now?
Miss Swindler's brain was in a mess, she had no idea what was going on.
Then …
Pa!
There was another crisp sound.
This time, Aisphany saw Kieran raise his hand and slap her face with her own eyes.
However, seeing it didn't mean she could dodge it.
So, other than her left cheek, Miss Swindler's right cheek turned red and swollen.
Touching both sides of her swollen cheeks, Miss Swindler glared at Kieran angrily.
"You …"
"Are you awake now?
Then be quiet. "
Before Miss Swindler could finish, she was interrupted by Kieran.
His tone was calm and unquestionable.
Miss Swindler's aura stagnated, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say.
It wasn't just because of the fear of Kieran that was buried in her heart, it was also because Miss Swindler noticed the wolf's head in Kieran's hand.
Miss Swindler had seen the wolf's head more than once.
However, the wolf's head that she saw was a specimen, an ornament hanging on the fireplace, the one in front of her was alive.
Its eyes were cunning and ferocious, and its mouth was still opening and closing. Its scarlet, barbed tongue was trying to lick and devour Kieran.
More importantly, at the bottom of the wolf's neck, there was blood seeping out.
It looked like the wolf's head was just twisted off.
Twisted off?!
Unconsciously, Miss Swindler recalled the scene in her hallucination.
The scene where the Supreme God defeated the Beast of Plague and Famine.
Then, naturally, Miss Swindler recalled the changes to the land after the Supreme God, the Beast of Plague and Famine's blood soaked the land, plus … the Supreme God's shadow was shaking and twisting.
Out of instinct, Miss Swindler looked at Kieran's shadow, then she realized Kieran's shadow was shaking and twisting as well.
"Careful!"
Unlike the helplessness in the hallucination, this time, Miss Swindler shouted loudly.
However, Kieran turned a deaf ear, he was still concentrating on the wolf's head in his hand, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
The shadow was shaking and twisting even more fiercely.
Miss Swindler knew once the pair of red eyes opened, things would become irreversible. She clenched her teeth and the dagger appeared in her hand again.
"I'm not trying to save you!
It's just that if you die, my loss will be too great! "
Miss Swindler dashed towards Kieran while finding excuses for herself.
However, the moment she took a step forward, she realized something wasn't right.
Her back was facing the door and the window, according to the sunlight, her shadow should have been left on the ground.
However, the ground was empty, there was nothing there.
"Could it be?!"
A bad thought appeared in Miss Swindler's heart.
Right after that, the bad thought was proven to be true.
An irresistible binding force appeared on Miss Swindler's body, preventing her from moving anymore.
Then, Miss Swindler's shadow appeared in front of her openly, its scarlet eyes were filled with endless killing intent and ferociousness.
However, to her surprise, Miss Swindler's shadow didn't make a move on the real body, instead, she looked at the calm and collected Kieran.
"Heh, as expected of the person he paid attention to, still so calm even in this situation.
"However, do you think that you can still suppress my 'shadow' now that you've come here?"
A heavy male laugh came from Miss Swindler's shadow.
"Suppress?
Do you think I didn't notice the difference after Aisphany 'coincidentally' helped Starbeck deliver the message?
Or do you think I'll turn a blind eye to Sharly and Evie Dan's' coincidental 'appearance?
Or perhaps … "
"Do you think this trap is smart?"
Kieran also laughed.
