In the midst of the blizzard, Lily struggled.

The chill spreads from the skin inward, penetrating into the flesh and bone marrow in the depths.

Her body was as stiff as a puppet, but the burning desire burned in her heart. Like a piece of wood that has been lit and then extinguished, it quietly emits a lot of heat and black smoke, smoking her heart.

Lily felt her blood thicken, like glue, like mud. They bind their bodies, ropes wrapped around their flesh...... Turning yourself into a prisoner.

- I'm a prisoner in a shell!

Scarlet fire burned again in the depths of Lily's pupils.

The regret of losing the book, the fury of being provoked by the rabbit, the grievance of trekking alone in the snow...... Negative emotions turned into fuel, scorching her soul and making her blood thicker and thicker.

And the white rabbit jumped with great agility in the blizzard. Each time Lily was about to catch up, it stopped and looked back mockingly; And just as Lily was about to catch up with it, she jumped away again, causing Lily to feel her blood pressure getting higher and higher.

At first, her reason was still dissuading her from calming down.

But chasing and chasing, her rationality also said: Fuck, catch up!

However, the cold wind outside was so biting, and her body was so stiff. Now she was just running and could hear the squeaky sound all over her body...... The body has reached its limit.

At this moment, Lily subconsciously glanced back.

Only to find that his path had turned into a blanket of snow without footprints. She looked down, only to find that her surroundings were littered with messy footprints...... It's like you're just spinning in circles.

How so?

[You are bound by mortal clothing]

An ethereal female voice rang out.

[You must not approach the Night Rabbit unless you throw away your costume]

Lily gritted her teeth and took off her clothes without thinking.

Strange as it may seem, after that she felt a liberating instinct - a new power injected into her.

She had removed the warm clothes all over her body, but she felt that her skin was gradually becoming warmer. The blizzard didn't hurt her a single bit.

She chased after the white rabbit known as the "Night Rabbit" again.

Her body is no longer stiff, her skin is no longer cold...... After she took off her clothes, she ran on all fours like a wild beast, steaming with white heat in the snowy night. But even so, she couldn't outrun the rabbit.

[You are bound by the flesh and blood of matter]

The voice sounded again.

It's like a wind chime, it's like a crystal. Like a spring in a deep valley, it is clear and calm.

[Don't approach the Night Rabbit unless you throw away the flesh]

Lily's scarlet pupils were left with only the rabbit and she continued to run.

This time, she finally broke free from the ghost's wall-beating shackles, and pounced fiercely at the rabbit.

The rabbit didn't react and was pushed to the ground by her.

And the intense hunger caused Lily to bite the rabbit's throat and suck the rabbit's blood. The rabbit's legs kicked violently, but even then she couldn't kick Lily away, but instead made her hug the rabbit like a fierce lover, and knelt on the ground and hugged it in her arms, and buried her head in the knee-deep snow.

She drank the rabbit's blood, and she began to devour the rabbit's flesh.

As Lily ate and drink, her bones creaked all over her body—gray-white hairs grew out of her skin, and her beautiful appearance gradually turned into a hideous wolf head.

Eventually, only a few remains of the rabbit remained.

Lily, who had turned into a gray wolf, spun around in a bit of confusion, her long wolf snout stained with blood.

Just then, she suddenly saw the rabbit—

- Isn't the white rabbit hanging in the sky?

She howled at the moon overhead, wanting to run to the moon.

And at this moment, out of nowhere, wolves came out of nowhere.

The wolves met Lily's howl and howled together at the moon. A strong sense of joy welled up in her heart.

[You are bound by the shadows beneath you]

The female voice rang out for the third time.

"You shall not approach the Night Hare, unless you leave behind the shadows]

Lily looked down at her shadow in confusion, her scarlet eyes staring at the shadow and wanting to bite her own shadow.

But at this moment, she was suddenly bound and hung by a few silk threads drilled out of her shadow.

Lily in wolf form struggled with her restraints, but she couldn't break free of the gray thread.

She struggled and struggled, gradually turning into a human form.

The white rabbit in the sky glanced back at her, and then left again to the other side of the sky.

Restrained in place, Lily watched the night hare as she departed from her, howling almost in a terrible way. But in the end, she still couldn't break free from the gray thread.

And as the moon went down, Lily suddenly came to her senses.

- I am still in the young master's study.

Her clothes were tossed aside, and she stood still. There was no white rabbit in the cage in front of him, only a book lying quietly in the cage.

"Great...... I didn't lose ...... book."

Lily subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but felt her voice become so hoarse.

She froze for a moment, then realized that there seemed to be something in her throat. She couldn't help coughing, then spat out a blood-stained cloud of rabbit fur.

…… Isn't that a hallucination?

Lily recalls the clear touch she felt when she chewed and swallowed the rabbit, and she felt creepy.

And when she remembered the joy of biting at the flesh, she was horrified to find wolf fur growing on her skin, and she gradually crouched down until she turned into a gray wolf.

…… Is it the curse of wolf magic?!

Lily was startled, remembering the knowledge in the witch's legacy.

But soon, she realizes that it doesn't seem quite right.

Because it's different from the situation when you get the wolf transformation technique, it seems that you can change back at any time......

Her heart moved, and the wolf fur on her body subsided. He crouched on the ground, but he returned to his human form.

“…… A tantric book on the path of love? ”

Lily muttered under her breath, a little frightened at the way she looked at her losing her mind. If I had chosen to leave the shadow behind, would I not have been able to come back?

And after she turned into a wolf, the desire to eat flesh and blood that surged from the bottom of her heart made her even more afraid.

- The closer she is, the more she loves, and the more she admires, the more she wants to eat. It's fine in human form, but if it turns into a wolf...... If Ivus had been in front of her, she would not have been able to contain her bloodthirsty impulses.

This form is too dangerous.

It's better to seal, as if you never got this ability.

Lily thought to herself.

…… Even so, she still felt some regrets.

For the wolf did not seem to be an ordinary beast. She had a vague feeling that she seemed to have some special abilities......

But in order not to get sick, let's just assume that ability doesn't exist.

She didn't have the leisure to clean up her things anymore, but that worry also kept her from sleeping. She was worried that she had that dream again after she accidentally fell asleep...... He turned into a wolf and returned to the snowfield.

As a result, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep all night.

On the other side, Ivas and Sherlock didn't sleep either.

Ivus's side was ready for the ceremony.

It's just that something seems to be wrong with Sherlock's side.

"How do I know if we're walking around the sun or the moon? I've never used the knowledge of astronomy in my past life—I don't mean I can't learn it, but my brain has become accustomed to not accepting knowledge that is not useful to me. Of course, I know it's useful now, but I'm going to need some time getting used to. ”

Sherlock was annoyed and threw the "Introduction to Astronomy" in his hand aside, stacking it on top of "Introduction to Astrology": "And I've been graduating for so long, and astronomy is still my freshman subject-"

"But my father likes you a lot."

Ivus interjected.

By "father" he is referring to Professor James.

His book "Asteroid Mechanics" is a rare height in the field of pure mathematics, and not many people in the entire scientific community can criticize it. In the field of astronomy, James is undoubtedly a first-tier professor.

"How do I know why!"

Sherlock shouted.

He sighed and then explained, "I used to ask professors about astronomy and math at the time. But that's because I didn't get good grades in those two classes, and I just wanted to pass...... But the professor was really nice to me. When I graduated, he recommended me to join the Inspectorate, but I politely declined him. ”

Ivas thought for a moment: "Since you could pass then, you should be able to pass now." ”

“…… Perhaps. ”

Sherlock was a little helpless: "But my brain is like a fog now, and I can't remember anything here......"

"It seems that the mentally retarded curse is still quite mentally retarded."

Ivas commented, "Not spiritual enough. ”

Sherlock then threw the two tomes in his hand at Ivus's head in turn, and Ivas easily grabbed them with one hand at a time.

"What then?"

Sherlock was a little worried: "You're almost done here, right?" I see you've been busy for a long time...... Why don't you unravel my curse first, and then hang back when I'm done? ”

"Not necessarily. It looks like you really couldn't get in one night...... But it doesn't matter. I can help you with this ritual now, where you can't, I'll help you cheat first. ”

Ivus replied briskly, "But before you are promoted next time, you will have to read these two books." When you were in the promotion ceremony, I couldn't help you at that time. ”

"Definitely."

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief and vowed, "I'll be able to read it before my next promotion." ”

- When will he be promoted next time?

The third energy level to the fourth energy level is not something that can be completed by a month's accumulation.

And if he doesn't work, he can teach himself about a week or so. I think there's plenty of time.

"Then when we leave, let's take these two books with us."

Sherlock didn't want to waste time: "I'll take a look after the investigation...... I'm sure I'll learn. ”

"Okay. If you think you've almost learned, come to me, and I'll give you a paper. ”

Ivas smiled and said, "I've been educated in astronomy since I was a child...... Let's go, it's almost dawn. ”

"By the way," Sherlock asked casually, following behind Evas, "to whom is the ritual praying?" Is it Wei Zhe? I'll bring some tribute over ......"

"No, you should bring some black pearls."

Ivus replied, "What this ritual asks for is the gaze of the Constant Self. ”

Update complete! Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month!!

Thank you to Remy W for feeding the alliance leader!

Woo woo is still uncomfortable, but I can code words...... I didn't have a fever, my body temperature was normal after three hours of wild sleep yesterday afternoon, and I didn't go to the hospital.

If you didn't ask for leave yesterday, today's update happens to be on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was originally a perfect abomination of the axis (pounding the ground)
