Jason stared at the 'rotten food' in front of him with a puzzled expression.

He wanted to eat.

However, he was afraid of eating a bad stomach.

Running a belly is secondary, just in case...... What should I do if I lose my satiety'?

Although he has just experienced death, he still has 58 points and can be resurrected 19.3 times, but such a number is far from enough for Jason, and a life that cannot be resurrected 30 times in a row is incomplete, incomplete, and needs to continue to work hard.

So!

Can't eat!

Jason took a deep breath and swallowed, his eyes hardened.

Then, he raised his hand to a cone of flame.

Call!

The mastery-level [Charles Incendiary Technique] brought flames above the power of the bullet level, and suddenly, the 'rotten food' in front of him was ignited.

However, then Jason regretted it!

The grease sizzles at the high temperature, and a richer and richer fragrance comes out.

On the contrary, the smell of corruption is disappearing.

Goo-dong.

Jason swallowed, and he raised his hand to get the 'food' that was still in the flames.

High temperature sterilization!

Even if it's a little mold, it should be burned to death in the heat!

So, I should eat a little...... It's okay, right?

With the thought swirling in his mind, Jason's hand grew closer and closer to the cooked 'rotten food'.

And at this very moment-

Call!

A night breeze blew suddenly.

Jason was sweating because of his inner struggle, and his forehead suddenly brightened under the blowing of the night wind.

Jason, who was trapped by 'hunger', cleared his mind and stretched out his hand.

Click, click.

In the distance, in the library, the hanging oil paintings are blown by the wind, and the frames and walls are beaten.

Jason subconsciously looked there.

He saw the 'back' again.

Different from before, when fighting against 'hunger', Jason suddenly saw a free and firm spirit that he had never seen before.

It's a kind of freedom when you leave.

It was a kind of firmness when I returned.

I will go, and I will return, wait for me.

Jason couldn't help but say something like that.

He didn't know where this 'back' was going, but it was definitely a dangerous place, but the other party did not hesitate, calmly and freely, and did not change from beginning to end.

Because, the other party is going to return.

Keep your promises.

The other party adheres to such a promise and never forgets it.

"Don't forget the original intention...... Don't forget the original ......"

Jason muttered under his breath.

His original intention.

He wanted to live.

It's really alive.

Rather than being 'driven'.

Manipulated like a puppet.

Is that still alive?

Maybe count.

But that's not what he wants!

"I want to live."

"To be alive in the truest sense of the word."

"Not a puppet, not a puppet!"

"If I can't even control the 'hunger' in front of me, how can I really live?"

Jason said word by word, the struggle on his face was still there, but he turned around and raised his hand again, and the continuous cone-shaped flames instantly covered the 'rotten food'.

'Rotten food' instantly burns and carbonizes.

Jason walked step by step into the library.

Then, slamming the door shut.

The moment the door was closed, Jason sat down on the ground, gasping for breath and sweating, as if he had been fighting a strong enemy for three days and three nights.

No!

It's even more exaggerated than that!

Because, that enemy is...... Himself!

"Win?"

"Tie!"

Jason thought with certainty.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the night breeze just now, if it weren't for the sound of the frame, he would have pounced there at the moment, nibbling on those 'rotten foods', like a dog.

"Our battle has just begun!"

"First game: Draw."

Jason touched his chest and said word by word, as if he were vows.

Knock, knock.

The heart was beating strongly, as if answering Jason.

Then, Jason stood up straight and looked very solemnly at the 'back' in the painting.

"Thank you."

As he spoke, Jason bowed slightly.

He was very grateful for this 'back'.

Maybe the other party has been artistically processed.

But if it weren't for the other party, he would be like a dog now.

In this regard, it is worth him to salute the other party.

After bowing, straighten your body.

The 'back' of the oil painting continued to move forward, as firm as ever, without any response.

Jason looked at the 'back' and eventually shook his head and smiled.

It's just a 'back' that conveys the spirit, how can there be a response?

Thinking of this, Jason saluted again and turned to walk towards the outside of the library.

At this moment, the two backs are facing each other.

One has long understood what he wants, free and firm.

A Chu Ming insisted in his heart and no longer hesitated.

Similar, yet different.

But all of them are unstoppable.

It's like a lineage.

Jason strode out, the night wind blew again, but the back in the oil painting moved slightly, as if waving, as if waving, and as if saying: You're welcome.

But no one saw it.

No one heard.

Only the observant can see that the back has become ordinary.

It's like an ordinary painter painting it.

There is no more truth.

There is no more verve.

There is only the eternal night sky, there is only the bright moon, and there is only the bright stars.

With the moonlight and starlight, Jason stood outside the small courtyard of the library building, waiting for the old Tydi.

The other party returned here with the family guards.

At the same time, many guards in the manor arrived.

Obviously, the previous attack of the 'Ghost Squad' was not a perfect infiltration, and the silence was a local infiltration.

However, even this is enough to make old Taidi's face ugly.

"Go and investigate where the 'perfume' came from."

"And notify the family guards to fight back."

"Confirm the location of what was suspected to be the 'Ghost Squad' before, and then ......"

The patriarch of the Purus family didn't say any more, just shook his fist hard.

Suddenly, the surrounding guards took action.

Jason could clearly feel the solidarity of the man.

In fact, anyone who is almost taken out of the nest will be so angry.

But as the patriarch of a large family, Old Taidi quickly adjusted his emotions.

When he walked up to Jason, he had calmed down, and when he stood in front of Jason, he had already put on a smile again.

"Lord Jason, thank you for the Dawn. Everything the Pruss family does. ”

"Of course."

"You'll be paid enough to satisfy you."

"A full member of the 'Ghost Squad' is stronger than a whole team of apprentices, so you can exchange not only that eye but also any other item, and as a token of gratitude, I am giving you two more on behalf of the Dawn Purus family, you can choose and match them as you like."

Old Taidi said sincerely.

"Material 3 eyes, material 1 monster tendons."

"Two kinds of secret arts."

Jason said the answer he had already in mind.

Teeth are not edible, just give up.

The rest, just in line, is naturally all wanted.

"No problem."

"I'll be ready right away."

"However, the Secret Technique of Material 3 Eyes, the Pruss family does not have it, please forgive me, I will try my best to find it for you, and Secret Technique 1 and 2 are also extended from Secret Technique 3 in a sense, but practicing with each other will increase the difficulty, so please be sure to pay attention when practicing."

Old Tydi admonished Jason.

Jason nodded in understanding.

He didn't explain more.

Anyway, he's very talented, and you'll know when the time comes.

Just a moment later, a suitcase appeared in front of Jason.

"The materials, the secret arts, are all in it."

"After looking through the secret arts, please burn them."

Old Tydi told Jason as he handed the suitcase.

did not ask to continue to wear it in the library, not only to show trust, but also because the Pruss family was not suitable to keep outsiders at this time.

Looking at the car that drove to his side, Jason simply waved goodbye to the old Tydi.

"Excellency Jason, where are you going?"

"Is it back to the 'watchdog pastry shop' on Pea Point Street?"

The driver asked.

Where Jason lives is really not a mystery for a big family like Pruss.

As a driver who gave people away, it was not surprising to know.

If you don't know, it will make Jason wonder.

"Go to the 'Hannibal Clinic'."

Jason replied.

You know, his share of food is still with Hannibal.

And now I have two more copies.

Naturally, a good chef is needed.

At the thought of the delicious food he was about to face, Jason's saliva began to secrete again, but unlike before, he began to consciously restrain himself, and although it was difficult, he began to take the initiative to do it.

Ten minutes after Jason left, the schoolgirl president walked out.

The student council president, who had changed into a dress, carefully matched accessories, and painted light makeup, stood near the library building looking for Jason.

She deliberately chose a strong perfume.

Definitely won't let Jason stay away from him again.

It's just that Jason was not found in the small courtyard at all, and there was no figure outside the small courtyard.

Immediately, the female student council president found her father.

"Left?"

The female student council president, who received the answer after asking, widened her eyes.

How can you just leave?

I'm obviously dressed up.

He left without even looking at me.

Thinking of this, the more and more unwilling female student president turned around and walked out.

"Wait."

Old Tydi spoke.

He looked at his anxious daughter and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not going to stop you from chasing Lord Jason, but I want you to understand that now that we're being targeted by the 'Ghost Squad', the most feared 'Phantom Thorn' has been killed, but because of this, the 'Ghost Squad' will retaliate even more frantically - this is their style."

"You're going to be their target."

"If you leave, I'll send more people to protect you, but the manor will be in a weak defense."

"So, I hope you can wait."

"Once we've completely eliminated the 'Ghost Squad', you'll be free to chase what you want."

The student council president stood there, frowning slightly.

But in the end, she was convinced.

The education she received since she was a child made her unable to ignore the safety of her family.

And......

Just wait a while, it'll be fine, right?
