Maybe the rainstorm a few days ago is still not over, and today the rain is floating in the sky again. It was pouring down, pounding on the roof tiles and rattling.

Helbo was sitting quietly in the living room at this time, his eyes looking out the window for a moment, watching the small rains gradually blur the scenery in the distance.

For him, the thousand years spent underground are isolated from everything, whether it is rain, snow, wind and frost, nothing can be seen or heard.

Only the earth-shattering thunder could occasionally make him feel his presence.

Now that he had come out of the darkness of the earth, and he had finally taken in the colorful world again, it was a feeling of rebirth.

It's a pity that even if Helbo misses these sensory pleasures a little, in fact, it's just a matter of looking at them.

Suddenly, the trapdoor at the back of the living room creaked open from below, and a small figure stepped up the stone steps.

It was a girl, and she was holding a tray with some dishes and cutlery stacked on top of it.

There was no doubt that this was the girl who had just brought Miriam's food.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"No, master."

Hailebo asked without replying, but the girl silently stopped her way to the kitchen and replied respectfully.

"Got it."

Hearing Helmo say this, the girl leaned slightly and turned away. But at this moment, Helbo tilted his head back slightly, and the corner of his eye swept faintly in the direction of the girl's back.

After washing and putting the dishes away, the little girl wiped her hands and paused for a moment in the kitchen. It seems that after all this work, she has nothing more to do.

It wasn't until more than an hour had passed that she turned around suddenly, still walking out of the kitchen with a nonchalant expression.

After the night's chaos was over, Helmo hurried out of the academy with the remnants of their men, and quietly took over the Muggle home. And from the moment she arrived, it was as if all she had to do was cook, laundry, and of course, deliver food to Miriam.

There is nothing else to do...... Sometimes I even feel very idle.

Yes, she still retains her consciousness, and she is well aware that there may have been some terrible changes in her.

But just as she never gets bored no matter how idle she is, she can't understand what it feels like to be "terrible".

Helbo's soul transformation caused her to lose a lot of what she once had, and at the same time added a lot of things that didn't belong to her. And her life seems to have become only for Helbo, the master, and everything else has become unimportant.

She thought that this kind of life, which continued only for one person, would continue until she died. But the moment "that person" suddenly appeared in the basement, things began to change again.

First of all, every time she returns to the end of the underground corridor to meet "that person", the feeling she had when she was a student comes back to her. Even if it becomes obscure after leaving the other person, it is not completely gone.

Secondly, it was the man who made her realize that she was not a slave of Helbo. This is undoubtedly very important to her, so she will agree to the other party's request later-

The man who had always been hiding in the shadows begged her to go back and work for Helbo, and when the time was right, he would rescue Miriam with her.

From that person's words, it can actually be heard that the other party originally wanted to save only the woman in the basement, and she was simply incidental.

But even so, it would be nice to have a chance to escape this place - at least she had a chance to put an end to this nightmarish nightmare, which her few remaining classmates didn't have!

Pulling a broom and mop out of the utility room, she used the magic she had obtained from Helpo to control the cleaning tools and begin to clean up the living room.

Actually, there is nothing dirty here, after all, in the few days spent here, almost no one walks around except for Helbo, and there is not much garbage produced at all.

But according to Helbo's orders, this is what she should do. If you don't want to expose your current state, you have to do all these things on time.

When she controlled the broom and mop to sweep back and forth in the living room, the original classmate stood aside and watched her do things silently. Their expressions were still cold and indifferent, and they even looked a little sluggish.

The thought of being like this sent chills down her back - but it was also a good thing, because the fear meant that she had found a normal human feeling.

"Fortunately, he never looked at himself squarely......"

Suddenly realizing that her expression seemed to be a little out of shape, she hurriedly glanced at Helbo, who was sitting in front of the window, and was secretly relieved to see that the other party was still just looking out the window.

After cleaning the whole living room, the girl finally came to the trapdoor again, opened the door and went down with her tools.

This Muggle house has a second floor, not to mention a second floor, even a third floor, but Helmo and they don't need it. So even if it's cleaning, you only need to clean the first floor and the underground.

After coming to the underground corridor again, this time the girl went straight to the deepest part of the tunnel, and soon came to the old place.

"Are you there?"

She didn't know who the other person was, and the other party didn't seem to have much interest in who she was. So whenever she comes back here, she can only skip the title and talk about things directly.

And at her soft call, the shadow suddenly trembled, and then a hazy figure appeared as it had done before.

"Is it time to clean up again? Did anything happen? ”

"No, sir."

When the other party appeared in front of her, the girl experienced the feeling of turning back into an ordinary person. The horror I felt in the living room just now, and the peace of mind I felt in this person became clear all of a sudden.

"Well, in that case, let's wait! It's only when something happens here that I can safely take Miriam ...... And you, take it from here. So, wait a little longer......"

The man hidden in the shadows said this, and was about to melt into the darkness and continue to lurk, but unexpectedly, a voice sounded coldly in the corridor.

"I don't think you have to wait any longer."

This sudden sound really startled the girl, and even the whole person trembled like an electric shock.

And the figure who wanted to continue hiding, although it did not tremble with fright like a girl, but that sentence was obviously unexpected by him.

"You—" He didn't move, but shrank in the shadows and spoke, "Who are you?" ”

"Me?" The man who suddenly appeared stood behind the girl who didn't dare to turn back, and said calmly, "At least it's not Helpo—isn't that enough for us?" ”

"Then you ......" the shadow figure paused, then shook his head, "Forget it...... Anyway, what do you mean by that sentence you just said? Why don't we "have to wait any longer"? ”

"Why?" "If I told you that Helmo was already aware of your existence and her changes, would you still ask 'why?'" ”

"How is this possible, I ......"

The shadow man was stunned, and then obviously a little unconvinced. On the other side, the man behind the girl just waved his hand, and then suddenly reached into the shadow.

When he was dragged out of the darkness by the other party's hand, his face was full of astonishment for a while. I really didn't expect that someone would crack his magic in this way, and he didn't even have time to react.

"I'll admit that you have a knack for soul magic, and you can even temporarily fill in the lack of soul in this little girl. But you have to know that Helbo knows a lot more about the soul than you might think! ”

With that, the man looked the shadow man up and down again, as if he was looking for something. After a moment, he nodded slightly.

"Well, I was hesitating whether I should come or not, but your presence proves it to me - my visit is indeed very valuable."

"What do you mean?" The shadow man wondered.

"Nothing...... If you want to chat, let's talk later! The man shook his head and said, "Hey, young lady, help me open the door, I want to see Miss Miriam." ”

The girl, who still didn't dare to turn around, was stunned when she heard this, but before she could turn around, her shoulder was pinned by the shadow man.

"Wait—why are you meeting Miriam? Who are you? ”

"Oh, don't worry! I'm here to save her, too," the man shrugged, "I'm Marca McKellen...... Why, your 'boss', didn't you mention me? ”

That's right, it was Maca who suddenly appeared. He traced the scent trail to the Muggle dwelling, and had snuck underneath without a trace.

And when Maca said the word "boss", the shadow man was obviously not prepared in the slightest, and he was immediately shocked.

"Do you know the boss?" He was surprised, "Why?" We never let outsiders participate in our missions, especially this time to rescue ...... No, you're lying! You're lying to me! ”

But Maca just raised her hand and motioned for him to stop.

"Don't talk so loudly, there's no way to put up a silencer charm here—are you going to let Helbo come down and play with you?"

With that, Maca turned her attention to the girl again.

She is the only one who can open the door normally here, who does she look at?

"Come on! Help me open the door...... I've got to say a few words to her before I'm going to take you away!" ”
