Just when the scene was in chaos, the castle lord came in with black masks, they were supposed to come to clean up the mess, but when the castle lord saw the corpse of the summer night, the situation suddenly slipped out of control.

I'll never forget the look on her face. The lord of the castle stood there, first surprised, stunned, and incredulous, and finally, the sadness that seemed to burn everything slowly flowed down with tears......

The air around me suddenly became hot, and the screams broke the suffocating silence, and I turned my head to find someone's clothes burning—not ordinary fire, black witch flames.

Immediately after, not only people, but also on the ground, equipment, and even in the air, black flames ignited out of thin air, and when a person's mood swings were too large, her contractual ability could "overflow", but at that moment, no one knew whether the city lord was unintentionally overflowing, or deliberately not controlling himself......

Everyone only knows one thing, if no one comes out to stop her, everyone will die. The only people present who have the strength to stop the city lord are Lord Summer Night and Victoria, and although Bafalia is also a great witch above level 8, she has never been known for fighting.

But now one of them has become a headless corpse, and the other has just lost all the contracts he has signed. And at this moment, the city lord suddenly turned his head, his gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and when I saw those red eyes, my heart couldn't help but tighten, as if a hand was holding my cup.

This is not a metaphor, because in the next second, a scream sounded behind me, followed by a muffled "poof", and I turned around and saw a corpse on the ground.

The unlucky bastard, who didn't know if it was because of the pressure and lost her mind, tried to escape, but as a result, her cup was grabbed by a hand made of black flames and ripped out of her body.

In the next second, the cup was burned to ashes by the black flame, and then her corpse also burned, turning into a slightly larger pile of ashes.

The strength of holding the cup in his body was a little greater.

At that moment, I really thought I was going to die. I used to think that I was not afraid of death, as long as I was buried with the big witches of "Aether Exploration", but now that Lord Summer Night has died, I realized that I am still afraid, and I am so scared, my body trembles like an automatic screening machine in a laboratory.

Just when my nerves were on the verge of collapse, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air from above, and everyone looked up in amazement, only to see a huge pair of scissors falling from the sky and falling straight towards the location of the city lord.

The castle lord didn't look at the sky like the others, but a giant hand condensed by the witch's flame appeared in an instant, grabbing the scissors accurately.

In the next moment, the giant hand collapsed, and the scissors continued to fall, even a few points faster.

More Black Flame Giants intercepted it, but in front of the tailor's scissors, which were more than ten meters long, they all collapsed at the touch of a button. In the end, with a soft "pop", the sharp blade was inserted into the side of the city lord, only less than half a meter away from her.

The lord finally raised his head and looked at Victoria, who was standing on the handle of the scissors, who met her and jumped down lightly, landing in front of her. At this time, Victoria was still the same girlish appearance, looking even more petite than the city lord, she raised her head slightly, looked directly at the city lord, and only said one sentence:

"If you kill them all now, you won't be able to investigate the cause of your sister's death."

After an unbearable silence, the city lord finally nodded, and the power holding the cup in his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the scene resounded one after another gasps, everyone knew that he had temporarily picked up a life.

……

September 10, 439

That's all that happened on August 17, and then I never knew what happened after that because I was interrogated in solitary condition.

It wasn't until I regained my freedom that I collected bits and pieces of gossip from various sources.

For example, Lord Summer Night is the sister of the Lord of the City - no wonder Victoria told the Lord that day "the reason why your sister died", Lord Summer Night had been hiding her identity from us, and it was only now that the answer was finally revealed.

For another example, neither the "Aether Exploration" nor the Castle Lord knew about the Summer Night's experiments until the accident happened that day. From beginning to end, this project was secretly carried out by Lord Summer Night with his own resources.

For another example, the so-called "Moth Plague" in the mouth of Lord Summer Night is purely a delusion, and this delusion has also been promoted in the board of directors of "Aether Exploration" in the past, and "Aether Exploration" has not taken it lightly at all, and has sent people to explore outside the dome many times, although she has not found any evidence to support the claim of "Moth Plague", but Lord Summer Night still insists on her idea...... In short, to put it mildly, there may be something wrong with Summernight's brain.

……

All in all, the whole project was a farce, with little to no fruit other than the enormous amount of manpower and material resources that resulted in the death of Lord Summernight himself.

For me, perhaps I should be more worried about the impending job loss.

……

September 15, 439

Surprisingly, Aether Exploration didn't fire me.

Instead, I was given a special assignment: to study a "head".

Today, in the laboratory specially arranged by "Aether Exploration", I met "Lord Summernight" again.

Her head and her body, to be exact, the former being the focus of the Aether Quest that asked me to study, and when I did a brief examination of it, I immediately understood why they had asked me to do it.

It also became a "head", a head with the exact same nature as the 144 heads.

I can't detect the inside, I can't destroy it, I keep my eyes closed, and no matter what I do, I can't get it open.

At the same time, it still retains the appearance of a summer night adult. Lord Summer Night is an extremely beautiful witch, and as such, it is also an extremely beautiful head, and when put together with the other 144, it is not against harmony.

And, I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that it's more perfect than what Summer Night's was before he was born, and like the rest of his head, there is a sense of immaculate that makes people awe-inspired.

After working hard for a long time, I didn't find anything more on this "head", but when I examined the body of Lord Summer Night, I found some anomalies.

The cup in the body is missing.

I asked the assistant, and she said that no one had touched the body since Lord Summer Night's body was transported here, and that the lab was guarded by no less than four Black Masks around the clock, one of whom was even a level 6 Great Witch, so someone stole the cup...... It's almost impossible.

I asked her if it was possible that the cup had been taken before the body was brought here. The assistant told me that this body was personally escorted here by the lord of the castle, and if someone took it, it could only be the lord himself.

It's not impossible...... I thought to myself.

After thinking about it for a moment, I reported my discovery to Aether Exploration and requested to use the Probe contract to check where the cup was.

It didn't take long for a reply to come in, and the other party agreed to my application.

The lab was quickly prepared, and the slender "probe" ran down the throat into the body of Lord Summer Night, and we probed several times where the cup was supposed to be, but we didn't find any suspicious traces.

As we all know, the cup is very tightly bonded to the body, and it is as difficult to remove it without leaving a trace as it is to steal the cup from it.

Sure, the lord might be able to do it, but I don't think she did. Because, if she had taken the cup, it would not have been necessary or possible for the Aether Exploration to agree to our use of a "probe" on the remains of Lord Summer Night.

……

After confirming that I could no longer find any other clues, I submitted a report to Aether Exploration.

And they seemed to be quite happy with my work. I've been forced to sign a confidentiality pact, and from now on, I can't tell anyone anything about my participation in Summernight's experiments, or what happened today. Otherwise, the moment the others find out, the confidentiality deed will take my life.

Then, they told me that I could go back, and as if none of this had happened, I could continue to be the chairman of Mohs Biotech, and get a decent salary for my whole life.

I can understand why they didn't erase my memory, or simply killed me—I still have some use. Aether Exploration's research on those heads won't stop easily, and one day in the future, maybe I'll be asked to join their research team again.

……

December 13, 440

I thought I would never write this diary again.

It's been more than a year since that incident. During this time, my life was uneventful and even somewhat boring, without any anomalies, and "Aether Exploration" never approached me for anything other than the company's day-to-day business.

Mohs has been working on the Dome Wheat for the last year, and I remember Summernight-sama telling me that it was her investment that brought the company back to life — but they eventually went bankrupt, just a year ago. Under the coordination of the Ether Exploration headquarters, we acquired their business, including all the research results related to the Dome Microphone.

We're doing a good job, and the yield of the latest variety has increased by 20% from the original one. Maybe it's because people like to glorify the past, and now I often think that Lady Summer Night is actually a pretty good person, although her delusions have brought a lot of people, including me, into the pit, but this is not her intention.

She is a gentle person, and she always uses reason and her own charm to convince others, rather than relying on power and violence. What's more, as long as she has promised something, she will definitely try her best to fulfill it, including my position as the chairman, which is also completely derived from her support, if she hadn't died, maybe I would have really become the middle level of "ether exploration" now.

I am not writing this on a whim, but because I have come across something today that should be said to be ...... Uncanny? Terrible? Or maybe it's a surprise...... things.

It is said that a whaling ship has hunted a huge white whale from the Aether Sea, and in order to stir up the atmosphere and sell the whale oil of the beluga whale at a good price, those people organized a lecture called "We Choose to Hunt Beluga Dick".

- That's not the point, the point was the speaker, I was lucky enough to be placed very close to the podium, so when I first saw her, I froze.

Even though I've never seen her look like, I'm sure, pretty sure – I've seen her body!

I distinctly remember the last time I saw it was a year and three months ago on September 15, 339.

In the laboratory of "Aether Exploration", I spent more than 16 hours with this body, this headless body! At that time, we tested it countless times to find possible clues, so I will never forget what it looked like, it was like a brand, etched in my memory.

- This is the body of Lord Summer Night!

And now, I see it again.

It was less than ten meters away, connected to a beautiful face that I had never seen before, and it was coming to life for a speech.

Thank you for the reward of the Broken Blade, thank you big guy for making this book have the first alliance leader~
