Within the confines of the Divine Arts Branch, there is a very secret area that even ordinary teachers don't know. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info can know that there are only a few people with special identities in this area, as well as some important people in the Divine Arms Branch.

Because of the need for more detailed information, and Leo was still a little hesitant, he couldn't make a decision. So, I came to this area that I heard was used for experiments by the Divine Art Branch, and I planned to investigate here.

Based on the results of the investigation, maybe he will be able to make up his mind.

"Is this it?"

From this point of view, this area is not very mysterious, but it is difficult to find it. Other than that, it's like a villa set up in the middle of a forest.

"Excuse me, anyone? I would like to ask ......."

Leo gently pushed open the iron door in front of him, and cautiously shouted inside, hoping that someone would answer.

"Alas...... Nobody?"

However, Leo stood there and waited for a while, but did not see anyone coming. With a light sigh, he finally decided to go in on his own.

From the outside, it doesn't look like anything has happened. It's just that...... As Leo continued to walk inside, the sights along the way made him sick to his stomach.

From the moment he entered the villa, the surrounding walls and floors were all covered with blood, as if something had happened here. Of course, something does happen here. It's just that, but judging from the appearance of this villa, ordinary people can't think of it at all. If it weren't for the fact that he had known what was going on here, he would have thought that nothing had happened.

"It's strange, why is there only blood here, and no corpses?"

After a while, Leo quickly walked around the villa and investigated everywhere. Although Leo didn't find anything in the process except for the blood stains everywhere in the house, he did find a suspicious point: why was there only blood stains in this villa, but no corpses?

You know, if there is blood, it means that someone is injured or dead. Before Leo came here, he learned from Abt that most of the people in this place were dead. So...... Where are the bodies of these people?

With this doubt in mind, Leo began a new round of searching, hoping to find something.

"Huh, here'......"

Soon, Leo noticed something unusual in the floor of the villa.

"Bloodstains...... It's all gone when they get here, isn't there something down here?"

Judging from the blood stains in the villa, all the blood stains disappeared on the floor under his feet. It really couldn't help but make him wonder that there was something down there.

So, Leo tried to move the floor beneath his feet to see what was underneath. Strangely enough, no matter how much force Leo used, the floor remained indifferent, as if it were glued to the ground.

"In that case, there must be something down here, and it's the kind of thing that can't be known!"

Leo thought for a moment and found himself in a dilemma. First of all, if he didn't move the floor and investigate the contents, his task would be much more difficult. Although you can't say that you can't complete the task, the increase in difficulty also means that you will be preempted by others. This mission began to concern whether he could dispel the Holy See's doubts about himself and not fail.

Secondly, if he moved the floor and discovered the secrets inside, perhaps the Holy See would immediately trouble him. Just imagine, this is the territory of the Divine Branch, although it is nominally owned by the Academy, but in fact, it is the territory of the Holy See. How could the Holy See not know what was going on here?! If he discovered the secret of this place, and the secret of this place happened to be something that the Holy See did not want people to know...... Then the result can be imagined.

From the way it looks here, it's clear that he doesn't want people to know what's down there.

In that case, does he still have to take that risk?

"Hmm...... Now it's better to choose the fastest way to get rid of suspicion. ”

The quickest way to get rid of the suspicion is to move the floor...... Then, after learning enough information, catch it as quickly as possible, or kill Aven who caused this place to be the way it is, and that's it.

"So...... Let's move. ”

Eventually, Leo decided to move the floor and see what was underneath.

"It seems that you can't move this floor with ordinary methods. So...... You can only use some extreme means. ”

Leo's extreme is actually to use some special magic to move the floor. Although this method will make some clues to the place, let people know that someone has been here. He doesn't care much about that now, though.

First, a water balloon appears in Leo's hand. Leo then placed the water balloon close to the gap between this floor and the rest of the floor, causing the water balloon to revert to normal water and remain in the gap between the floors.

"Freeze it......"

Soon, the water that disappeared into the gaps between the floors turned into solid ice under Leo's magic. And these seemingly inconspicuous Xiaoice pillars actually pushed up this floor, revealing what was hidden under it.

"It's ...... Basement?"

To be honest, Leo had thought of many possibilities before, but he just didn't expect that there would be a basement under this floor. However, this was not the most surprising to him.

"Hmm, what's that smell? It's so bad......"

What surprised him the most was that there was a bad smell coming from this basement. And, the smell ...... It smells like blood, and the smell of rotting corpses.

However, even so, Leo still has to go on, who told him to complete the mission?

In the end, Leo could only endure the smell and walked down the stairs step by step.

"Light Sphere"

For some reason, this basement seems to have nothing to light on, and the lights are so dark that you can't see anything. In desperation, Leo could only summon the light elemental and let the light ball formed by the light element illuminate himself.

"Well, that's really ......."

However, just after he had walked up this staircase, he couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Because, in front of Leo, there were human corpses and their stumps, as well as bones, all over the place, almost like a slaughterhouse for livestock, only...... It's not livestock that's slaughtered here, it's just humans.

Also, in addition to these things, there is blood still flowing on the ground......

Although Leo had seen a lot of things about corpses and the like, it was the first time he had seen such a tragic situation, and he couldn't help but feel a little sick and want to vomit.

To be honest, Leo really doesn't want to stay here anymore, the scene here is really not acceptable to ordinary people. However, it was such a scene that gave Leo an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen such a scene before.

"Ah...... My head hurts!"

Of course, with this sense of familiarity, Leo's head began to ache as well. Judging by the timing of this headache, it seems that as long as Leo's memory shows some signs of recovery, it will appear at that time, preventing Leo's memory from recovering. It's more like a curse than a spiritual magic.

"Weird...... Why haven't I ...... headache?"

Normally, the headache lasts only a few minutes and then stops. But strangely, this time it didn't seem to stop for several minutes.

Is this time any different?

Leo couldn't help but think about it in severe pain at this time.

"Ahhh!!h

However, the pain then began to get more intense again. Eventually, Leo couldn't bear the pain anymore and cried out.
