In the secluded and silent back garden, the endless blood myrtles became dying under the sun, the hanging flowers lost their vitality, and the delicate red petals were wrinkled and dry like old women.

The sky seemed even more gloomy there, with a layer of mist hanging over the garden, hidden and quiet.

Suddenly, Twilight's hands tightened, and a cool air came out of her back, as if someone was behind her.

Asen the rabbit shouted in amazement, "Lord Deacon! ”

Twilight turned her head slowly, and Z's face appeared in front of her.

Z looked at Twilight's surprised expression and said slowly, "You can go and see elsewhere about Juxia's disappearance." ”

Twilight looked at Z suspiciously, "Do you know how Juxia disappeared?" ”

Z glanced out the window and turned to leave, leaving only one sentence, "Don't come here again, anyway, Juxia won't be in this castle." ”

Twilight lowered her head and thought, where would it be if Ju Natsu wasn't in this castle?

But she did disappear from here, and just as Twilight was about to ask something, Z's figure was gone, and Twilight had long been accustomed to Z's elusiveness, like a ghost in the academy.

Asen stood aside, his ears pricked up and moving, "Twilight-sama, are we going somewhere else?" ”

Twilight takes one last look in the direction Z has disappeared, and finally decides to follow Z's advice and investigate elsewhere.

She remembered that Z glanced at the back garden, could it be that Juxia had entered the dark place she had been exploring?

Twilight turned her head and said, "We'll come back in the evening." ”

As Twilight leaves, Z quietly looks at the image on the wall in the Ghost Sea, and softly spouts two words, "Stupid." ”

At this time, the ghost burned in the sea of flames, and the pink skeleton threw the broken dolls into the fireplace, and only countless screams could be heard from the fireplace.

The pink skeleton dragged its huge body towards Z, "My lord, the defective products have all been dealt with. ”

"Okay, you go down!"

Z waved his hand, and the pink skeleton left.

After leaving District 13, Twilight prepares to have lunch with Aisha and Ye Qian, the three girls sit at the round table, and Assen brings a barbecue with fresh honey and lemon on top, the pink meat and golden honey look very delicious.

Plus a good bread and a vegetable salad with dessert.

Aisha took a bite, the chewiness of the meat and the softness of the bread, and the gravy flooded the tip of the tongue, "It's really delicious." I didn't expect Assen's craftsmanship to be so good. ”

Ye Qian chewed slowly in small bites, her eyes narrowed into crescents, "It's delicious." ”

Assen hung his head shyly, "It's an honor to be the deacon of Lord Twilight. ”

Twilight smiled slightly, "I didn't expect Assen to be so shy. ”

Arsen's head hung lower.

Twilight and Elsa see each other often, both are Ares, and Ye Qian, since Twilight and Twilight are not in the same bedroom as her, the two of them have only been in contact occasionally.

And this time the dinner party was a time for all three of them to be able to get together.

After the three of them were full, Ah Sen handed the three of them a handkerchief, Aisha wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then handed the handkerchief to Ah Sen, "It's going to be an assessment in a blink of an eye, I hope the three of us can get through guò together." ”

Aisha also gradually regarded Ye Qian as a good friend because of Twilight's relationship.

Ye Qian nodded playfully, "Yes, I really hope to be able to pass the assessment, the last assessment was thrilling." The content of the assessment has not yet been announced, which is really worrying! ”

Ye Qian thought of these little faces wrinkled, slightly worried, and was afraid that she didn't understand it.

Twilight picked up the teacup, blew on the tea foam on the water, and took a sip, "Don't worry too much, I'm sure I'll be able to get through." The content of the assessment should be announced in two days, so that everyone can prepare in advance. ”

Aisha suddenly remembered something, "Ye Qian can try to do some goddess tasks to increase her GPA and improve her ranking." ”

Ye Qian frowned, "Recently, I heard that someone disappeared from a mission, so I don't really want to do it." ”

There was some panic and fear in his eyes.

Twilight's heart sank, and she raised her head and asked, "Are you missing from the mission?" Where did you hear about it. ”

Ye Qian's eyes wandered, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and asked uncertainly, "Don't you know?" ”

Aisha shook her head, "I don't know. ”

After Ye Qian was silent, she clenched her hands and lowered her body to say, "The girl next door to me is missing, I saw her the day before she disappeared, and she looked like usual that day." It was only when Teacher G found me that I was willing to learn about her disappearance. ”

After speaking, Ye Qian's hands were still a little trembling.

"Didn't you notice anything else?"

Twilight wanted to know more clues, and she wanted to investigate it herself, but by chance, she got some clues.

Ye Qian lowered her head, her lips opened and closed slightly, and she stopped talking, "I sue you, don't sue others, she seems to be stunned, her little face is pale, and her expression is panicked." I thought she might be hurt, but when I greeted her, her eyes widened as if she had seen a monster. ”

Ye Qian's voice became smaller and lower, "I was afraid that these things would involve me, so I didn't sue Teacher SùG." ”

Twilight patted Ye Qian's shoulder and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

Ye Qian's words make Twilight realize that Juxia is not always so simple, and she must have gone through something to disappear.

It also certainly has something to do with what the academy is missing.

Elsa didn't expect such an incident, the goddess of the third year of the academy would often disappear, but in the end, it was all gone.

Due to Ye Qian's unstable feelings, Twilight and Aisha send her back to the bedroom.

Aisha has been paying attention to the change in Twilight's expression, and after sending Ye Qian away, Aisha specifically instructed Twilight, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be particularly interested in her disappearance, just like Hera's disappearance." ”

Twilight's eyes flickered, "Follow me." ”

Elsa followed Twilight all the way back to the dormitory, and Twilight spread out the quest scroll and pointed to the back, "Area 13, where Juxia disappeared." ”

Aisha looked surprised, "This is a goddess's high-level mission?" ”

Twilight nodded, and told her all the details of the mission, "Juxia stole something important from the academy, and now the person is missing. The clue is broken. ”

"Area 13, I don't know about its existence, but Hera is missing in the dungeon, and Juxia should have found something before choosing to disappear. The point is that this is not a good task. ”

A helpless smile appeared on Elsa's face.

"I know there's no such thing as a free lunch."

From the beginning of the mission, Twilight analyzes the middle of the process.

There are not a few cases of the disappearance of the goddess, why is the disappearance of Juxia listed as a task.

When she signs her name on the quest scroll, Twilight decides to investigate to the end, and District 13 is a mystery, Hera's disappearance is a mystery, and the dungeon is a mystery.

And what happened in the morning, except for the task, was so coincidental, and the coincidence was unexpected.

It seems that someone deliberately led her into the back garden, and Twilight has been looking for this opportunity for a long time, and she has no reason to refuse.

Aisha was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled slightly, "You are really persistent." However, I can accompany you to investigate. ”

Twilight shook her head, "It's too dangerous, I'll do it myself." ”

Aisha said helplessly, "Okay! ”

Twilight doesn't guess who led her down the road step by step, and she's ready to follow the path and get to the bottom of it.

Juxia's disappearance was an opportunity for her.

In the end, Aisha cautiously instructed: "Be careful. ”

As Twilight prepares, it quickly darkens.

The dark sky overshadowed the earth, dreary and gloomy, and the dense trees stretched out their dense branches and leaves, blocking the moonlight, and the mottled shadows sprinkled on the ground swayed like phantoms.

Twilight arrives at District 13, where she calculates the meaning of District 13 and defines it in the castle complex, which is a patchwork of 13 castles, with District 13 representing the last castle.

The garden that Twilight sees through the window in the morning is only a part of it, and she's not sure if Junatsu is missing in the back garden.

Twilight returns to the floor where Tachibana's footprints have disappeared, and she deliberately jumps out of the window.

"Poof—"

Twilight leaps down, just in time to dodge Bloodway.

Suddenly!

Something was approaching, its speed flickering fast and slow, making uneven sounds, its curvy figure trying to bypass the moonlight, like a hunter chasing its prey in the night, its body passing through the walls covered with blood violet, not afraid of it at all.

It left a thick trail of blood where it had wandered.

Soon, the blood slowly penetrated deep into the walls and disappeared.

Twilight looked around, and she saw that there was more than one ghostly creature that was all over the wall, and that they were weaving through the walls, and the occasional passing figure was enough to scare people half to death.

Twilight didn't dare to make a sound, and she made an enchantment under her feet to prevent a creature from sneaking up on the bottom.

Twilight walked forward step by step, and as expected, Twilight saw a building that resembled a door, with two stone pillars erected high and beams in the middle, with strange patterns carved on them.

As Twilight prepares to step in, the barrier beneath her feet is breached, and several black, viscous creatures emerge from the ground, their bodies flattened and extremely fast, not crawling but squirming to be exact.

Twilight flees, like greedy creatures, suppressed thirst and excitement.

They shuttled very fast, and Twilight jumped on top of the beams, and they slowly climbed up the stone wall, occasionally making a "poof-poof-"

There was a sound of rotten, sticky juice spilling from beneath him.

Moment!

White foam bubbled up from the stone walls, like water droplets falling on the hot rocks, turning into white smoke.

Twilight watched the stone pillars corrode and was horrified.

Twilight drew her sword and slashed it down, their bodies being cut off in sections, and their bodies were still squirming in several sections, increasing in number, making their scalps tingle, and slashing at all.

Seeing them getting closer, Twilight jumped down the door, and she had time to catch her breath, "Whoa-"

I don't know if some mechanism has been triggered under my feet, and my body keeps falling, and my speed is getting faster and faster.

Twilight immediately plunged her blade into the wall and grabbed the hilt of her sword with all her strength.

If you are not careful, it is an abyss.

There were slight scratches on her arms and bodies, she clenched her teeth, gasped, and her face suddenly turned pale!

A qiē came so suddenly that she was caught off guard.

The greedy creatures slipped past her, her eyes widening and she gasped for breath, not daring to let go of her hand.
