The tired Honey fell asleep in Li Xiang's room. Of course, nothing unspeakable happened. Before she fell asleep, Li Xiang began a new round of Physique training.
The special training method Honey had provided was very effective. Currently, everyone in the club was using her efficiency training method.
Li Xiang's dorm was now equipped with a gun training room in the basement.
He activated [Sense Increase], picked up the Blood Breed Daimyo, and aimed at the moving human-shaped target in the distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Twelve shots in a row. With the support of Mechanic Mastery, all of them accurately hit the moving target. The target was instantly smashed into pieces, and the broken pieces scattered all over the floor. Very quickly, they were poured down to the basement.
The moving target simulated the speed and Physique of a Level-2 Magician. It was clear that the power of the Vampire Daimyo was far beyond his expectations.
Putting away the Vampire Daimyo, Li Xiang let out a long breath. He used a white towel to wipe his slightly wet body. Just then, his communicator lit up.
He picked up the communicator in confusion. Messages from the outside world should not be transmitted in the school. Why would someone from the school be looking for him at this time of night?
The person who sent the message was a senior student that he did not recognize.
The message was very simple. He wanted to meet him at a coffee shop. Li Xiang checked the senior's information. He was surprised to find that he was the senior who had welcomed him and Shizuko Ise together with Villette.
Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately put on his clothes and rushed to the coffee shop.
There were only a few people in the coffee shop late at night. There were also students working and musicians who played unknown piano all day long.
The waiter yawned and did not even bother to move when he entered the coffee shop.
In the corner, a tall man in black clothes waved at him. "Li Xiang, over here."
The few students who were still studying in the coffee shop raised their heads when they heard his name. However, they only glanced at him before lowering their heads to study the books in their hands again.
Li Xiang's fame had spread throughout the school. However, after a few months of studying, the new students deeply understood how stupid it was to spend time on others.
Only by focusing on oneself would one not be easily eliminated.
Li Xiang walked over and sat down. The man extended his bronze arm and shook his hand gently. "My name is Cullen."
Li Xiang had heard a little about this third-year senior from the Guardian Department.
He was Ise Shizuko's guide for the new students. It was said that he was rather flirtatious, but he hit a wall with Ise Shizuko. His personality was not bad, and after being rejected, he did not bother Shizuko again.
Rumor has it that he dated Villette for a while.
"Senior Cullen, what's the matter?" Li Xiang looked at him suspiciously. The two of them didn't have any interactions, nor did they have any grudges. There must be something wrong for him to ask him out so late at night.
"Actually, I'm not sure myself, but I feel like I've forgotten something important." Cullen hesitated and then smiled bitterly. "It's like something in my mind is missing. My intuition tells me that I'm missing a part of my memory, but no matter how I search, I can't find an answer. It's driving me crazy …"
Li Xiang was even more surprised. He looked at Cullen's extremely troubled expression and was sure that he was not faking it. He was not here to make fun of him.
He waited quietly for Cullen to continue complaining.
Li Xiang smelled a sweet scent from Cullen's body, which instantly alerted him.
The only thing that could make him feel such a sweet scent was from Calamity.
Mutants and humans could also arouse Li Xiang's "appetite", but it was not strong and could be easily suppressed.
Only the scent from Calamity was something he could not reject.
The dark golden aura in his body seemed to have awakened.
"Ah, sorry, I've said a lot of nonsense. I still don't understand why I had to ask you out, or else I'll regret it …" Cullen looked apologetic. After muttering to himself for a while, he said, "I'm really sorry. You've heard so many strange things from me. Just forget about it. I don't know what it is either."
"Uh … Senior Cullen, are you okay? I remember Senior Sister Villette said that you two went on a mission together. Did you encounter Calamity? " Li Xiang asked tentatively. He knew that Cullen and Villette had been going on missions together to investigate the Dead Sea recently. Perhaps it had something to do with this.
Hearing this, Cullen's expression suddenly froze, and then he frowned.
Then he suddenly looked at him.
"Junior Li Xiang, w-who's Villette?"
A feeling of shock spread from his brain to his body.
"Senior Cullen, this joke of yours isn't funny. Asking me out in the middle of the night, if it's just to make fun of me …" Li Xiang's gaze instantly became extremely sharp.
Cullen was shocked by his murderous aura, and he woke up a little. His blurry eyes regained some color.
"No, no, no. I really didn't mean to joke around. I keep feeling that I should ask you out to talk about something, but I suddenly can't remember. Oh no, my memory has gotten a lot worse recently. But how did you know that I went on these missions? But there's no Villette with me. "Cullen took out his communication device and searched for his friends list and recent mission information.
There was no Villette.
Li Xiang furrowed his brows and explained.
"A freshman guide? I'm indeed Junior Sister Ise's guide, but weren't you picked up by Professor Jeffrey himself? Look, this is the list of third-year Assassination students, and there's no Villette. "Cullen was puzzled and showed him the communication device.
Indeed, there was no trace of Villette anywhere.
Li Xiang took out his own communication device and searched it again. This was not Cullen's intention to prank him. Even in his communication device, all traces of Villette had disappeared.
"How could this be …" He did not know much about Villette, but he was very sure that this person existed. After all, she was the one who led him to the border, and the series of events that followed happened because of her.
"Ah, speaking of which, I remember now!" Cullen slapped his head, searched his body for a while, and took out a wrinkled letter.
"I was wondering why the name Villette sounded so familiar. When I woke up today, I found a letter beside my pillow. Now that I think about it, someone called Villette asked me to give it to you. Wait, who is Villette …"
"Damn it, I'm leaving first. Junior Li Xiang, I've probably been on too many missions recently, and I'm hallucinating. Don't mind it." The expression on Cullen's face kept changing. In the end, there was a hint of fatigue and infatuation as he staggered out of the coffee shop.
The aura of disaster on his body was thickening.
Li Xiang opened the letter.
To Li Xiang:
I'm so scared …
There was only one sentence. The words at the end were clearly there, but they were blurry and unclear.
Li Xiang touched his eyes. When he looked again, the letter had become a blank piece of paper.
"What is this …" Li Xiang let out a long breath. He could not get rid of the frustration that lingered in his heart.
From Cullen's strange appearance to his abnormality, and now Villette's disappearance, he was extremely anxious.
The letter in his hand was completely blank.
He checked it carefully. There was no trace of magic. It was just a normal piece of paper.
Except for a hint of the same scent as Cullen's, but that sweet smell gradually dissipated in the breeze.
Li Xiang got up to pay the bill, and then quickly ran to the mission hall.
There were still many people in the mission hall in the middle of the night. The rotating oil paintings were all missions related to investigating the Dead Sea.
The pay was low, but the safety factor was high.
He walked to the inquiry machine and searched for the recent missions. As expected, there were many missions that Cullen had participated in.
But Villette's name was not in any of them.
He tried to use the communication device to contact a few other seniors who had participated in the mission with him. The answers he received were the same as Cullen's.
There was no such person as Villette.
It was just that they seemed to be unconscious.
This was definitely not normal.
How could a Magician have such a problem of forgetfulness?
He was not an ordinary person from the Blue Planet era. Strictly speaking, a Magician was equivalent to a superpower user from the Blue Planet era. His physique was dozens of times stronger than an ordinary person's.
She would forget what the letter was even if she had it with her …
This was no longer as simple as having a bad memory or forgetfulness.
If it was related to the disaster, it must be related to the Dead Sea. Thinking of the group of disaster that had been released a while ago, Li Xiang frowned and rushed to the vice-principal's office.
.....
Jeffrey was still studying the red book in his hands. He was slightly surprised by Li Xiang's late-night visit, but after listening to his story, Jeffrey's expression gradually became serious.
"You mean to say that a person named Villette once existed, but now, other than you, everyone has forgotten her existence." Jeffrey put down the red book and looked into his eyes.
In this Level-7 Magician's memory, there was no such third-year student.
"It's not that they have forgotten, but that her existence has completely disappeared." Li Xiang was a little frightened. Why was he the only one who remembered? This question made his hair stand on end.
What was even more frightening was that he was afraid that he would become like everyone else and forget Villette's existence at any moment.
"I believe that my student is not an idiot, and you are not that kind of foolish person either. Then, she should exist. " Jeffree sighed. He stood up and searched for books in the large bookcase behind him. After a long time, he took out an old and shabby magic book. "We Occult Sorcerers have always been dedicated to studying many things related to occultism."
"If it were other Magicians, I'm afraid they would not be able to explain it, but I've seen this phenomenon a few times in ancient books on mysticism." Jeffrey flipped through the book based on his memory. "Look, this case. More than a hundred years ago, the existence of the entire numbered city was erased. The strange thing is, there was clearly such a forgotten place, but people could not remember it."
"Why is this book still able to record it?" Li Xiang asked curiously. Those few pages were all records and descriptions of similar events.
"Ha, we have to thank our great ancestors for this. They invented a type of magic called [Mysticism — Book of Truth]. As long as you use this magic, anything recorded will not disappear with time and space. As long as the magic exists, it will exist. "
Jeffrey stuffed the book into his hands. "You, come read more here when you have time. The path of mysticism is not easy to walk, but if you walk it well, it won't be worse than your other paths."
"Yes." Li Xiang continued to flip through the book and saw a name that was mentioned repeatedly.
The Spirit of Vengeance.
It was a soul hidden in the darkness.
Some said it was a burning flame, some said it was ice that could freeze one's heart, some said it was a humanoid, some said it was a chaotic and formless monster …
There were many different opinions, but it was this disaster that did these things.
"No serial number at the moment. The disaster's name is the Spirit of Vengeance. According to the ancient books, those who have seen its existence have all disappeared, so there are no descriptions or records. " Li Xiang frowned. If it was this disaster, then whether it was sealed at the bottom of the Dead Sea or if it was released, there was no way to know.
He told Jeffrey his doubts, but Jeffrey shook his head.
"Impossible, the batch we sealed was at most an E-grade disaster. According to this description, the Spirit of Vengeance is at least an A-grade disaster," Jeffrey denied. "If what you said is right, then it can only be a similar disaster. As for the ones that escaped from the seal, I have records of them. They don't have this ability."
Li Xiang felt cold all over. This was the first time he came into contact with a human who was directly affected by a disaster, and it was still warm.
So magicians were so weak in front of disasters?
"Then, Senior Sister Violet, she …"
"Sorry, because I don't have any information, I can't do anything. Some mysticism spells might be useful, but you have to know that casting these spells consumes a lot of energy. I can't use them for an ordinary student who might exist. I'm sorry, just forget about this person. "Jeffrey sighed. There was nothing he could do.
After all, there was too little information. Now, other than Li Xiang, no one remembered her.
"But it seems that there is indeed a problem with the Dead Sea. The results of the investigation at this stage are not very optimistic, and the School Championship is approaching." Jeffrey felt a headache coming on. Seeing Li Xiang's disappointed look, he shook the bell on his hand. "I'll help you ask again, child."
After the bell rang, a shadow door opened from the study. A slender, round, beautiful leg wrapped in black stockings stepped out of the void.
A tall, sexy woman walked out of the shadow. She was at least 1.8 meters tall. Her mouth was covered with a black cloth, and her eyes were very bold.
She looked at Li Xiang curiously like a big sister, then looked at Jeffrey. "Vice-principal, why are you looking for me?"
"This is Li Xiang, a new student of the Mixed Faculty. She is the head of the Assassination Faculty, a Level-3 Assassin," Jeffrey introduced. "Because she is out on missions all year round, Li Xiang, you probably haven't seen her. Tell her about your situation."
Li Xiang nodded and repeated.
Shadow crossed her arms and glanced at him indifferently.
"What do you think, Shadow?"
"He's right." Shadow chuckled and pointed at Li Xiang's cheek. "If this child is lying, my intuition will immediately react. I remember every third-year student in the Assassination Faculty. Sorry, there is no girl. But as an Assassin, I can clearly feel that my memory has been tampered with. "
"Is it that scary?" Li Xiang was shocked. Even a Level-3 player couldn't escape, but her intuition was even more terrifying.
She could sense the problem with her intuition alone.
"It's just a normal feeling. We Assassins assassinate people, and there are also powerful Disaster Bodies. Without a good intuition, how can you survive? "Shadow leaned over, leaned close to his cheek, and chuckled." You want to find that girl? "
"Yes."
"Don't think about it. Cultivate well. She's already dead, and soon she will no longer exist in your mind." Shadow pinched his cheek hard, and her tone suddenly became serious. "This is a battle, a silent battle. A player who is obsessed with death can't live forever. You can't remember every friend who was killed by the Disaster. The only thing you can do is to keep killing. "
"Don't waste time on the dead."
.....
Li Xiang, who came out of the office, suddenly felt a little cold. Was this a player?
Shadow gave him the feeling that she was an emotionless killing machine. She didn't care about many things. It was probably because she had been killing all this time that she gradually changed.
But Li Xiang didn't want to be like this.
He looked up at the sky, and the black fog was confused.
He had secretly sent a message to the border just now, but the result was the same. Andrea didn't remember such a person and said that Li Xiang had come over by himself.
Moreover, after the previous batch of traders died, she had intended to give this business to Li Xiang.
After listening to his story, Andrea's reaction was similar to Shadow's.
They were more concerned about the terrifying Disaster that might exist at the border. As for Villette's life and death, no one cared at all.
Li Xiang sighed, picked up the communication device, and dialed Shizuko Ise's number.
"Hello."
Shizuko Ise's voice was a little groggy. It was obvious that she had been woken up from her sleep.
"Let me ask you something. Do you remember Villette?"
“.....”
There was a long silence.
"Let me ask you something. Do you remember Cullen?"
Shizuko Ise's voice was a little trembling, but there was also some anticipation. It was as if she had suppressed it for a long time and could finally vent it.
"I remember."
"I remember."
