Chapter 33: Desolation

"Oh, Harlein!" Seeing the middle-aged mage running towards several people, Muffy greeted with a smile, and then said with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Contrary to Muffy's small face, the middle-aged mage who came over was full of anxiety, worry and fear, and under that complicated expression, there seemed to be something inexplicable hidden, Jack didn't know what it was, but he felt that what he would hear in a while would not be good news.

"Muffy ......" walked closer, the sprinting middle-aged mage gasped a few times, he looked at Muffy, and wanted to say something, but he was choked by some non-existent force, making him want to stop talking.

The silence that hid the sadness was like a gust of wind, blowing away the warm smile on Mafei's face, and also causing the smiling people to fall into a serious silence together.

Time seemed to stand still at the moment when the middle-aged mage spoke, and it was not until his vicissitudes of life sounded again that everyone regained their sense of the passage of time.

"Muffy, your teacher, gone......"

A pause like a heavy drum beat hit Muffy's heart, and with the complicated and suppressed expression of the middle-aged mage, she seemed to understand something, but she still pulled a far-fetched smile, "Is it?

"No, Deputy Secretary He, Ron Francis, is dead......"

He's dead?

Maffei's eyes widened.

She recalled the teacher's voice and smile, the kindness of the old man to them, the patience with which he taught them, the untired brow of his brows when he nagged, and the childlike smile when he was excited.

"Where is he? I want to see him. Muffy's voice was eerily calm, as if the bad news was just a stranger, but Jack, as a bystander, clearly saw that this lively girl had lost the ease and joy of youth.

At that moment, Jack even thought she was dead, leaving only heavy flesh and bones, deprived of the soul that animates everything.

"I think it's better for you not to see Lord Ron. The middle-aged mage hesitated for a moment and said, "His corpse, alas, that was too cruel......

"I want to see him, at least for the last time!" Muffy's voice remained unwavering, but everyone could hear her determination.

The middle-aged mage sighed and nodded helplessly, "Okay, then let's follow......"

The middle-aged mage took the lead, and Muffy followed behind without saying a word, as for Jack, this kind of thing happened, of course they couldn't leave Muffy behind, so they also followed behind Muffy in silence.

They came all the way to the far left of the first floor, where the quietest and most professional meditation room was located, in the corridor in front of the meditation area, between two old walls, a yellow cordon had been raised, and outside the door of the meditation room at the scene of the crime, there were also two guards.

Although the city guard reconnaissance team has not yet arrived, the Arcane Society's own guards themselves are professional enough, and they at least know how to protect the scene.

The middle-aged mage Harlein led the group over the yellow cordon and came to the scene of the crime, and Jack noticed that in addition to the two stone-carved guards, there was also a young man standing in front of this meditation room.

Dressed in a blue mage robe and meticulously groomed with his blonde hair, he stood in front of the door of this meditation room, staring at the miserable situation inside, motionless, as if he was going to stand like this forever.

But he wasn't a sculpture after all, and when he noticed Harlein's approach, he turned his face, and on his handsome countenance was a mask-like smile that was unreadable – but could see through its falsehood at a glance.

"Good afternoon, everyone!" Although it was a very simple and impolite greeting, both his smile and his slight bend made one ignore his small mistake in his politeness.

However, as soon as everyone thought that there might be a bloody corpse in the meditation room, he immediately felt that the young man's smile was full of strangeness.

"Andy, the festival mourns and changes, after all, people can't be ...... after death"

Before Harlein's words could be finished, Muffy, who had been silent until now, suddenly erupted.

She yelled at the young man, "You did it, Andy, you killed the teacher!"

"Ma Fei, although you are my junior sister, there are some things that you can't say nonsense......"

"Haven't you always been full of resentment with him? With your narrow-minded nature, you are probably the only one who can laugh when you see the teacher dead!

"I'm not a murderer, because I don't have a perverted penchant for shredding corpses!" The young man known as Andy retorted, still smiling hypocritically at the angry Muffy, who knew what it meant at the moment, but he had his own rules.

"Muffy, is it really okay to vent your resentment, your sorrow, and your disbelief to innocent people so casually? Although I understand you, but to condemn me so hastily, isn't it the anger in your heart that controls you? People who look at the world with prejudice......

"You can only see the past. Muffy's voice had regained its calmness, but it was even more frightening than the resentment just now, "That's the teacher's words, you remember it quite clearly, but, Andy, I hated your smile since I was a long time, I hate that you have always worn that mask-like smile, and relied on it to hide the narrowness and cruelty in your heart. ”

"So, you think I'm a murderer?"

"Of course, I'll catch you, you can't laugh forever. It can be seen that Maffei usually has a deep grudge against Andy.

"Haha!" Andy opened his mouth wide and let out a laugh without a smile, he looked at Muffy and said, "Muffy, why can't you laugh again? Didn't you already know it? Death has always been a doomed end, everyone can't escape it, look at ......" He pulled Muffy to his side and pointed to the miserable situation in the meditation room.

"Look at the scarlet pungent flesh, they will slowly dissipate into the air, how long can the bones last?, in the end, won't everything have to return to dust?" Andy said, "Didn't you always know that this day would come, so why be serious? Why not follow my example, keep a smile on your face, and make life better......"

"Do you make your life better with a mask-like smile and this kind of lie?" Muffy asked coldly, apparently not agreeing with Andy.

"Isn't life a lie? My poor teacher, is your death also a lie? What if it's a lie, what if it's not, you died here in vain, telling me the desolation of the world!haha, after all, isn't death a kind of funny?" Andy's voice was full of sarcasm, but the smile on his face was even bigger, "Hey, my dear sister, why don't you laugh together? Is it because you are the one who killed the teacher?"

"......" Muffy was silent, she didn't want to pay attention to Andy, who was usually quite crazy.

At this time, only the old man who had been dismembered was left in her eyes, looking at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground and spilled on the wall, listening to Andy's illogical chatter, she suddenly felt a cold loneliness.

That's what it feels like to die.

Loneliness, darkness, eternal silence.

"May your soul dwell in the stars. ”

She didn't cry, she just didn't laugh.
