As I was thinking if it would be better to step aside and leave the two alone, Alice Blesbuck, who was sobbing and sobbing, crawled away from Cass Lyle.
“Um, I’m sorry… You held on to a busy person and showed shame.”
She said hurriedly, wiping the corners of her eyes, and Cass Lyle skillfully took a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to her.
Looking at the woman who had taken it and wiped her tears, I asked what I had been contemplating on whether or not to keep asking.
“… I understand the relationship between you and Cars Ryle. And also how he is intertwined with Milited’s children and the Seven Devils Milited. But there is one thing I don’t understand.”
She clearly said to me and Cass Lyle, ‘I am the one who ruined your life.’
In the case of Cass Lyle, I heard the story of the two in front of me, and above all, I could understand because I knew the approximate history and storyline of Cass Lyle, one of the eight playable characters.
In Cass Lyle’s case, Alice Blesbuck was the person for interaction with at least one person for every character, and he was also well aware that the relationship between the two is difficult to express in words, and that they both have very fond feelings for each other. .
So it was questionable.
Alice Blesbuck was said to have lived for several hundred years, but in terms of human beings, she belonged to a vampire young enough to be considered a beginner.
For most of her life, she was oppressed by her mother, Natalia Milited, honing her alchemy or serving as her assistant.
In short, it was said that she lacked social skills and was immature in many ways.
Although it does not apply to her now, in the original work, she was criticized for showing her subtly favoritism among students; As a professor, he often appeared naive.
In addition, the professor in charge had to interact with the students in charge and take care of them, but for her, who was immature in many ways, it was a difficult task.
Because of this, she is misunderstood that she favors only a few specific students and even gives them preferential treatment, which leads to a lot of embarrassment.
There was an incident in which Cass Lyle and other students regained their confidence from feeling depressed and depressed because they thought they were not qualified to be a professor, but let’s face it… .
Saddam was long, but in short, this is it.
Alice Blesbuck does not try to approach herself unless she has a certain relationship with her, and in order to establish such a relationship, there must be some great opportunity such as Cass Lyle or Myung-Jun Lee.
And she and I didn’t have a single chance of that.
The only thing that comes to mind is that she made a potion of purification in the past and communicated with her a few times while she was on the run, but it was hard to think that she had opened her heart to me just that much.
And above all… .
“Why on earth did the professor ruin my life?”
“… … .”
At my question, she looked at me with a dry expression.
Then he nodded his head cautiously as if he had made up his mind.
“For now, please don’t misunderstand me and listen to me. Jihyuk, can you handle the branches of the World Tree?”
“Yes.”
It was also known as the clan of the World Tree, so this was not something to hide.
“And Jihyuk knows that you have a strong resistance to poison, right?”
“… Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
When she showed a little caution toward Alice, who asked her about poison, she immediately raised her hands as if she had no particular intention.
“Mi, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you or to pry. just… Can’t you answer me?”
“… … .”
Alice Blesbuck was more puzzled than before with Cass Lyle, and asked cautiously, as if trying not to provoke me.
“Poison resistance, do you have it? No, not only that, Jihyuk knows how to handle poison well. right?”
I nodded my head after pondering for a moment at her question, which was even desperate for something.
It wasn’t a big secret, because it was beneficial to have a good relationship with her and Cass Lyle in the future.
There was no need to hide the degree of poison tolerance when they first revealed to me the secret that was also their weakness.
“Also… .”
At my affirmation, Alice Blesbuck nodded deeply as if she knew that.
Then he asked in a trembling voice.
“There is a criminal group called the Red Case.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised at her sudden words.
Why on earth are the names of the already disorganized ones being mentioned in her mouth now?
And although it was only for a moment, her lips clenched as if she did not miss my flinching reaction.
“Now, it is a criminal group whose power has been weakened and destroyed to the extent that the name of the past is disrespectful. But just a few months ago, it was one of the most prominent criminal groups in the world. Jihyuk knows you well too. Because, starting with the last guild invitation, I’ve been entangled with you, including Aegis’ Control Center, not once or twice. right?”
This time, I had no choice but to nod my head.
She was so nervous that she could see her neck gulp and move.
“then… Are you directly or indirectly involved in the way the Red Case happened?”
She added hastily before I could answer or respond.
“I, I have vampire blood!”
She made a face for a moment and then blinked as if she had made up her mind.
“Anyway, it’s only half a penny, so you can’t use the powers called vampire abilities, such as charm or suggestion, but your senses and intuition are very sharp compared to normal people. For example, to the extent that now Ji-hyeok has noticed that you have just been very awkward with my question.”
I thought I couldn’t help it with her words around telling me not to lie and to tell me straight.
“… Yes, you are right.”
“ah.”
When I affirmed, she looked startled for a moment, then frowned as if in distress.
Why the hell are you doing this, I was just thinking like that.
“… Both of you are well aware that my research records have been used for unsavory purposes. No, since the rumors have spread like that, at least here at Orge Academy, no one knows about it.”
she said in a quiet voice.
“With the help of Myung-Jun Lee and others, I smashed all the places where I used my research records to do terrible experiments in that way. I’m not proud of it, but my research records were very useful and unusual, so there were a lot of tangled bugs. … Of course, I was an idiot for sharing research records without knowing anything and just believing that they would be used for the public good.”
She murmured as if grumbling and continued.
“… Then I heard information about an orchard.”

Orchard.
When I looked at the woman who had mentioned the word I had completely forgotten, she was also looking at me.
His eyes were stained with guilt.
“The Red Case, and the Thorn Cross… Maybe the Big Watch or something else was involved. One thing is for sure, there has never been a laboratory as large as an orchard and with so many organizations intertwined.”
[Aha, I remember.]
Sbengali murmured with a crackling sound.
[Once upon a time, I heard that Jae-Jun Lee built a research institute in cooperation with Red Case for his own project. Obviously, the name of the institute was Orchard. Surely you said that you would create artificial awakenings, even those with the power of the World Tree?]
Sbengali chuckled, dismissing it as nonsensical nonsense.
[That’s bullshit. There is little chance of success just by artificially creating the Awakened, but in addition to that, it also gives the power of the World Tree, which can be said to be the source of nature itself? It would be more constructive to put poison in your veins and pray that you survive.]
“It is the place where an unimaginable number of human experiments took place.”
[ttt… I must have lost only precious lives.]
Ignoring Sbangali’s pitiful words, I looked at her as if to keep talking.
“They conducted an experiment to forcibly grant the power of the World Tree to humans, not the World Tree’s clan.”
Her gaze fell on my right arm.
“All the victims of that experiment were killed by their own blood that had somehow turned to poison. Those who were recorded to have survived the longest were invariably resistant to poison.”
Then it touched my heart.
“There, you asked Myung-jun to find the location of the orchard, the potion of purification… and.”
[Oh, my God.]
Sbangali burst out laughing as if it was funny.

On the other hand, I couldn’t help but laugh.
[Now, do you think I know you as a test subject that was born from an experiment in that orchard?]
“Wait.”
Before he finished speaking, and before Alice Blesbuck finished speaking, I raised my hand.
“… Do you know what you are talking about?”
He began to roll his head quickly, warning her with an angry expression on her face.
Han Su-young, Choi Hyun-woo, and Jin Ye-seul know that I am not originally from this world.
And Yeeun Lee was the first to find out about it.

Of course, there was no need to go around revealing this fact to others.
No, maybe it was right to hide it as much as it could be a huge weakness for me.
… I’m sorry for both of you.
‘If it’s going to be revealed in rude words, it’s right to tell Yuna or Ivan first.’
As cold as it may sound, Alice Blesbuck and Cass Lyle were completely unreliable, unlike those mentioned earlier.
So, at her sudden words, I decided to pretend I didn’t know.
“… I’m just going to pretend I didn’t hear that, Professor Alice. As you may know, I am a member of the World Tree clan. And those words were words that could be considered malicious slander by others.”
“Ah, I… That intention… .”
Leaving Professor Alice in a moment of panic, I quickly pushed the wheelchair back.
It was because there was nothing to gain from being here for nothing.
It was so sudden, and I honestly didn’t know how to deal with the current situation.
[I don’t understand.]
Sbengali muttered as if she couldn’t understand me.
[I’m just saying that the girl’s misunderstanding is right, but? Then like I said before, I’d do anything to pay for you. I could literally be your slave.]
He said, squeezing his beak.
[Half-vampires, also known as Dampirs, are extremely useful as they are rare. It would be even more so if I had the ability to be as great as that woman. Also, that homunculus… Yeah, every time I look at it I get that feeling, but it’s because it’s a guy who created Milited’s body as a basis. Perhaps more useful than that woman. Apparently, that too would help pay off the woman’s debt, so why would you do that?]
“… … .”
I didn’t answer him.
It would definitely make things easier if he did what he said.
There would be no need to think and worry about anything more.
However… .
“… … .”
I glanced at Alice Blesbuck and Cass Lyle silently.
I didn’t want to do that when I saw the two of them, who seemed more attached than anyone else.
It was just that.
“Please be careful in the future. I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear what you said.”
“Ji-hyuk, I tell you… !”
Alice, who was about to say something urgently, closed her eyes as if she understood.
Then he looked at Cas Lyle once and then looked at me.
“… Yes, I’m sorry I said something. If you feel better later, let’s talk more then. I have a lot to tell you about Milited.”
“Yes, it is. Oh.”
I told you something I had almost forgotten before moving out of the wheelchair.
“We succeeded in getting the ankles of Natalia Milited. Talk to Evangeline Lohengrin through Myeongjun Lee. Examining her body will surely reveal some useful information.”

After Yoo Ji-hyeok left, Alice Blessbuck let out a deep sigh as if she had exhausted all her mental energy.
Cass Lyle, who was standing by her side as if supporting her, asked her in a quiet voice.
“By the way, Professor. I don’t doubt the professor, but Jihyuk is really… There is no guarantee that such a thing happened, is there?”
“… … .”
Alice Blesbuck did not answer.
“I think it is more that the child was rumored to be an illegitimate child… .”
“I am a vampire, Lyle. Do you know?”
“How could I forget that… ?!”
When Cass Lyle, who was answering, was startled and startled, Alice Blesbuck nodded her head.
“… Yes, I can tell a certain amount of hidden history just by the smell of that person’s blood. And not a single drop of Jihyuk and Lee Yeeun were of the same blood.”
“Then I guess Jihyuk is deceiving you… ?”
“It can’t be, Lyle, as you well know, Lee Ye-eun and the World Tree clan aren’t that lame. It must have been that she knew and condoned it.”
Cass Lyle nodded at her words.
Second, he was the one who recognized Lee Ye-eun’s abilities.
“There, he felt something blocking his head.”
“Did you block it?”
“Yeah, it was completely blocked off so that none of the tricks such as charm or allusion worked.”
Alice Blesbuck exhaled, shaking her body.
“And in such cases, there are only cases in which the person has excellent psychological abilities, or if the person with such ability has already been operated on because of his innate power.”
“That means… .”
“Above all, the shadow of Henir.”
Alice Blesbuck mumbled something she had not told Yoo Ji-hyeok just before.
Shadow Walker’s legacy.
Although it is a name known only to those who know her now, she was the woman who investigated him to some extent thanks to her mother, who had a deep relationship with Shadow Walker.
Therefore, she knew better than anyone that the shadow of Henir, considered the best masterpiece among all existing ‘artificial complex creatures’, is a branch of the world tree, the very existence of nature itself.
Above all, the branches of the World Tree, the shadows of Henir, and things that were famous for devouring their owners if they were not qualified.
What do you have to do to get two of these polar opposites into your body without any backlash?
If you think simply, it can be hypothesized that the blood of the World Tree clan and the Shadow Walker are mixed.
But she knew better than anyone that it was physically impossible and that it wasn’t that simple.
It was impossible for him and his mother to do that.

Only one if possible… .
“… Milted.”
“… … .”
“You have to kill him.”
Alice Blesbuck mumbled so.
“If he wakes up, maybe Lyle, you and Ji-hyeok will go after him.”
couldn’t let it go
It was a life of repeating regrets all my life, so I didn’t want to do that until the end.
With that determination, Alice Blesbuck stood up quietly.
“Help me, will you… ?”
At her question, Cass Lyle smiled quietly.
Alice Blesbuck also looked at him and smiled weakly.
And, in the shaded corner of the classroom where they were.
Something trembled there.
“… … .”
Jin Ye-seul, who was hiding in the shadow of Henir, whom Alice Blesbuck had just talked about, was also smiling unexpectedly.

“… Infant, Sooyoung!”
Han Soo-young quietly opened her eyes at the touch of a tuk-tuk.
As I was blinking my hazy eyes, Choi Hyun-woo, who was sitting right next to me, said.
“Twenty minutes have passed as you said.”
“… … .”

Obviously I had asked him to wake me up after 20 minutes.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he was sitting right next to him, lending his shoulder to his droopy self as if he was losing his mind and protecting him.
Tossing and turning, his cloak, which was covered like a blanket, ran down.
“… Yes, thank you.”
Han Soo-young nodded quietly.
It’s been a while since I’ve tried it, so I had a little trouble moving and returning to the soul body.
“I’m going to be a little busy.”
she muttered quietly.
Poor guy knows about sbengali only. But doesn’t even know Minerva is also stalking him as well as others
Bro had the full squad stalking him lmaooooooooooooooooooooo
