Chapter Eighty-Six: The Legend of Red (I)

"When did the girl last die here?" Ulysses closed his eyes and tried to find something out of the ordinary, but like countless attempts before, he couldn't find anything special this time.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing, and the sound of him and Noah's breathing and heartbeat, and nothing else.

"The nearest one should be a girl from a Western royal family a hundred years ago, a very beautiful blonde princess, who is loved and protected by many people. No one could have imagined that she would be the victim in the end, which caused quite a commotion at the time. Noah looked at the dilapidated roof with sad eyes, and seemed to see the princess with an innocent and lovely smile in the academy archives again.

Because of this unexplained tragedy, the place was closed a long, long time ago, and the ruined roof, stained red by the blood of young girls, has since become one of the seven incredible legends of this academy.

It's just that the truth of this legend is so tragic that the academy deliberately blocked the news here, hoping that the students could forget the tragedy that happened here.

"A hundred years ago?" Ulysses couldn't explain the gaze he felt, perhaps it had nothing to do with the tragedy that had happened in this place, but standing in this place that had buried the lives of many young girls made him feel depressed.

It was at this moment, once again, that Ulysses felt that gaze. This time, the distance was very, very close, almost close at hand.

The position is -- behind him.

"Bang, bang!" his heart beat wildly at an unnatural rate, and that indescribable fear swept through Ulysses's body again, making his body and soul tremble together.

Right behind, just close, close, somebody was watching him!

Who the hell is it!

Ulysses turned around at lightning speed, promising that he had never been so fast, so fast that even Noah didn't even notice he had moved.

However, all he saw was an empty roof, only the sound of the wind passing through his ears.

In the direction where he felt his gaze, less than three meters from him, at the very edge of the entire roof, as on the previous two occasions, there was no trace of any "human" or "non-human" existence.

The fact that he could not be detected at such a close distance was unbelievable to Ulysses. Even Sharon, who was able to use short-range space movement in the Apostles' Regiment, would never have been able to make him undetectable at this distance.

The moment the space moves, there will definitely be some kind of fluctuation, even if it is very small, but it will still leave traces. And the gaze he felt at this moment, after he turned around, really disappeared behind him without leaving any trace.

"Ulysses, is there anything here?" Noah also noticed that something was wrong, she knew Ulysses's character very well, and she would never have shown such a serious and nervous expression if nothing happened.

"Noah, do you believe me?" Ulysses' palms were sweating.

He really didn't know what this fear was. He has broken through his own limits, and his will should be stronger, but I don't know why, but when he was stared at by that gaze, he felt an extraordinary fear.

It was a fear that went straight to his heart, causing him to throb in the deepest part of his heart. So much so that he couldn't let it go, he must have wanted to know what it was.

"I believe in you. "As a child of the Ana family, Noah has 100% loyalty and trust in Ulysses, who has a direct family line, and can even sacrifice his most important thing to protect him.

"Just now, there was something ...... here" Ulysses told Noah about the strange phenomenon he had encountered since the morning, perhaps because Noah's status as a paladin and theology teacher made him feel reassured, and he did not hide his fear.

"I see, no wonder you're so weird today. Noah didn't doubt Ulysses' words, there were so many things in this world that even the historic Ana family couldn't figure out.

In fact, the Anna family itself holds countless mysteries and is one of the most special families on this continent.

"Let me look it up. "As a seasoned paladin, Noah is not the first time he has dealt with ghostly creatures, and he has some ways to deal with them.

"Silver Sword Angel. Noah summoned his combined Noble Phantasm and held out his right hand.

Under Noah's control, four silver swords shining with divine brilliance quickly formed a cross divine circle at the location where Ulysses had just felt his gaze.

"Detect evil!" The center of the Cross Circle emitted a white divine light, completely enveloping the space of ten meters around it. There is no other color in the range of the Divine Light.

"There is no trace of dark magic. Noah confirmed Ulysses' words that the owner of the gaze was not a dark creature.

"Detect life!" The cross circle reversed, this time emitting a red light, and there was still no other color within the red light within ten meters.

"Not a living life. Noah also showed a confused expression this time.

It's not a ghostly creature of death, it's not a living being, what the hell is Ulysses looking at from behind?

The results of the Divine Detection Circle developed by the Cult of the Supreme God do not lie. This magic circle, which tests the surrounding area with divine power, is far more sensitive than human eyes and ears. As long as there are dark creatures there, some trace will be detected.

"Sorry, Ulysses, I can't check it out at all. After three consecutive detections, Noah had to admit that he had indeed failed to find any trace of the other party, just like Ulysses.

"In that case, it really has something to do with the legends here. Noah remembered the investigation of the tragedy in the academy's archives.

No evidence of the existence of the Dark Curse could be found, and there was no trace of any evil ritual. The girls who died here all smiled and ushered in their last moments. Their blood stained the roof red like red flowers blooming here.

The tragedy a hundred years ago, even the Pope at that time was alarmed, and specially sent seven cardinals to investigate the tragedy together with all the high-ranking priests of the Ana family, but in the end nothing was found.

Could it be that what is watching Ulysses here is the curse of the girls who committed suicide here in the past that they could not understand?
