Chapter 85: The Phantom (Part II)

In the bright classroom, Noah, dressed in a knight's suit, is teaching seriously.

"The Western Church used to be an important branch of the Supreme God Cult, and because the people living in that area at that time were born with a high affinity for the magic of the thunder and lightning attributes, the church organizations located here developed a large number of divine punishment techniques that summoned the power of thunder and lightning. So much so that the priests of the Western Church at that time were called the sons of Thor......"

"The following is the composition of the divine punishment system that they are good at--the sage who is wrapped in golden clothes, the lord of the sky, who falls from the sky with thunder and lightning!

Noah's teaching is very simple and easy to understand, as the number one daughter of the Ana family, she has learned a lot of knowledge related to the Supreme God Cult while practicing her sword skills since she was a child. The preference for church culture is in the blood of the direct members of the Ana family, and has nothing to do with gender.

The Ana family's collection of books related to the Most High God Cult is second only to the head of the church. Even in some of the physical collections of the origin of the Supreme Divine Cult, it surpasses the headquarters of the Holy See.

Originally, Ulysses liked this course very much, and Noah's teaching seemed to be specially prepared for people like him, easy to understand and without losing the original intention, and answered many difficult questions that he couldn't figure out when he was alone.

But today he could not listen to anything, and his whole attention was focused on the strange thing that had happened in the morning.

At that time, what was it that was watching him from that position?

At the end of the course, he had returned to the location and searched the entire area, but found nothing. As Cindy said, there was no trace of anyone there, not even the claw marks of small animals.

There was no way that the small bushes could hide anyone, and it took him only a second to feel the terrified gaze that made him turn his head, and if someone was really standing there watching him, it would have left some traces anyway.

But there was nothing to be found there, footprints, indentations of trees, dents in the earth, nothing.

Was there really something watching him? Ulysses was suspicious of his feelings, and since he couldn't find anything, maybe it was really just a momentary delusion on his part.

This delusion often occurred when he was still living alone in Taji City. It's a room in a small two-story building where I live alone, but when I try to read hard late at night, I hear the sound of the window being knocked, as if someone is knocking on that window.

Opening the window naturally saw nothing, just the sound of the wind blowing. The more times this happens, and the more he gets used to it. Even if there is a knock on the window, I will not look at the window again, and there is nothing when it is opened anyway.

However, the feeling in the morning is obviously different. The moment he felt that gaze, his fear was completely different from when he heard the window for the first time in the middle of the night in Taji City, this kind of heart contraction, his body couldn't help but tremble, and the feeling of wanting to see uncontrollably was completely different from that time.

Yes, it's the desire to see, not to run away, which is a completely different kind of fear.

When he heard the sound that shouldn't have been there in the middle of the night in Taji City, he did feel the fear, and chose to retreat immediately, and he didn't even have the courage to touch the window all night.

And this time, when he felt that gaze, his first action was to find the owner of that gaze.

Why do you want to see, why do you want to see, what does this gaze he feel?

As Ulysses pondered the difference between these two fears, a strange sensation reappeared in him.

Without hesitation, he stood up and looked in the direction from which the feeling came. It was on the top floor of a building separated by two buildings. He felt a gaze once that morning, this time coming from that position.

"I'm sorry, I'm taking a leave of absence. Ulysses didn't have time to walk through the door, opened the window directly, and then stepped on the window and jumped out directly.

Noah, who was taking a serious lesson, was naturally stunned by Ulysses' sudden action, and this was the first time she had seen the usually gentle Ulysses look so anxious.

The girls who were listening to the lectures in the church were obviously taken aback, and these ladies who had received the best education never imagined that someone would jump out of the window during the lesson.

"Click!click!" Ulysses' figure quickly and deftly cut through the cracks of all the buildings to the spot where he felt his gaze.

It's the top floor of an empty building, and perhaps due to disrepair, the ground has cracked. The door to this level was tightly shut, and there were even rust marks on it that had appeared with the passage of time.

It's no one here anymore, and anyone who sees it will understand it. In this narrow space that is clear at a glance, there is nothing to hide.

Ulysses didn't know the history of the building, and he didn't want to know about it. He came here just to figure out one thing, what was watching him.

If the first time it was a delusion, the fear he felt as he was engrossed in thinking about it this time could not have been an illusion.

He was in class at the time, his heart contracted suddenly, and he looked at this side for the first time, half a second faster than in the morning. Unfortunately, even with such a quick response, he still didn't see what was looking at him.

There was nothing here, it was only a few seconds from the time he found it to the time he rushed here, and if anyone did look at him here, it would leave some traces anyway.

However, on this ancient ground, not only are there no footprints, but there is not even a trace of people staying. It was as if the thing he was aware of didn't exist here at all.

"What the hell could it be?" Ulysses didn't understand why he cared so much about it, so impulsively rushing out of class was too rude for Noah.

"Is there anything here?" I don't know when, Noah, dressed in a silver knight's suit, flew to Ulysses' side and looked at him with concern.

Unlike the gaze that Ulysses had just felt, Noah's gaze brought him a warm, soft feeling, full of light.

"Noah, what is this place?" Ulysses asked, looking at the dilapidated ground beneath his feet, with a solemn expression.

"This is the seventh school building that is no longer in use, because some bad things have happened here in the past, and it was closed many years ago. "As a representative of the Ana family, Noah has already memorized everything in the Radiant Academy.

Ulysses stepped on the ground that had fallen into disrepair, and found that as long as there were people standing here, they would definitely leave very obvious marks, and it was impossible to leave nothing.

"What's the bad thing?"

"It started more than 2,000 years ago, when a girl committed suicide by slitting her wrists, and the blood she shed stained the ground red and caused some terrible phenomenon. Noah thought back to what he had seen and told him what had happened here.

"A terrible phenomenon?" Ulysses looked around, not feeling any dark aura.

"Well, after that, every once in a while, the long one is one or two hundred years, and the short one is only more than thirty years, there will definitely be a girl who is exactly the same age as the first girl who commits suicide and dies here, and the method chosen is exactly the same, to release the blood of her whole body. When he said this, Noah's expression was very confused.

"Cursed?" Ulysses also felt that this was extraordinary.

"Not a curse. Noah shook his head and spoke of the terrible events that had once taken place here.

"They all came here of their own volition and chose to commit suicide. The strangest thing is that these girls come from very good families, and there is no reason to choose suicide in either life or family background. ”

"At first, the academy didn't notice this because the interval was very unstable, but when the thirteenth girl killed herself here, she finally caught the attention of our Ana family, made an investigation, and found a lot of strange things. ”

"These girls all have a high talent for magic and a good background, so they can easily enter this branch of the Radiant Academy. Then, one night, they would go to the roof of the building alone, slit their wrists with knives, and drained all the blood from their bodies. ”

"There was no reason to be found, no motive to be found, no sign of any magical interference, all of them came here voluntarily and chose to die, and they didn't even leave a suicide note. ”

"No matter how much we try to examine the dead girl's body, we can't find any trace of being cursed by the dark forces. Moreover, they all died laughing, as if death was a relief for them. ”

Hearing Noah say this, Ulysses seemed to smell the smell of blood that still permeated the place.

What kind of mentality did those girls who grew up in different generations and come from different families have when they come to this place, cut their major arteries with a sharp knife, and watch the blood flow out of their bodies...... No, just imagine Ulysses standing on end, if this is a curse, a curse that has lasted for thousands of years, it would be terrible.

Could it be that the gaze he felt in the morning and in the classroom came from them?

"Ulysses, what's wrong?" Noah leaned closer to Ulysses, looking at him tenderly.

"No!" Ulysses shook his head, if this was the truth, then he could not have felt such fear. Because now he has the power to not fear any curse, the deepest darkness in this world.

What scares him will definitely not be curses and dark forces.
