Chapter 533 Professor


    In the depths of incomparable darkness, the dark, gloomy end of the street. In the narrow depths of Sharnos, outside the towering gate, everything here is cold and quiet, as if even time has stopped, nothing is flowing, and everything is shrouded in darkness. , exist here quietly. This is true whether it is decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years.


    But, today it is different.


    Someone is having a conversation.


    One is the voice of a calm, indifferent man.


    The other one is a woman''s voice, full of sadness and uneasiness.


    “Here is the Gate of Tartar, and therefore I appear here before those who come to the Gate, and it is you who have called me.”


    The man declared coldly, without a trace of hesitation.


    "……I?"


    The woman''s voice was somewhat questioning.


    "That''s right, it wasn''t Joseph Capek''s séance, nor the green stone that guy gave you, it was you, it was you who called me. Tremble, be afraid, but you need to make a choice."


    “Choose…what?”


    “You have the freedom to choose whether to obey my words or not.”


    “What will happen to me if I obey what you say?”


    "If you don''t give up until the end, your wish will come true."


    The man''s voice was cold and emotionless, as if he was speaking like a machine.


    "……Yeah."


    The woman''s voice paused slightly, but continued.


    "I have someone I love who is a very important friend. I attended the séance for her. I am very scared because I love that person deeply and is my most important friend. What if, in the future, something happens to her? What terrible thing happened... Even if she survives, what about the next day?"


    "I can''t accept this future, the possible future, the possibility of losing her tomorrow. I''m... afraid of tomorrow. Even if I''m with her and have a wonderful present, after separation, I will still Worry, worry, maybe, when I am at home, I will suddenly receive a call and learn a sad news..."


    "That child is so brave and strong, but at the same time it is worrying. Just like that day, I almost watched her leave me forever... That kind of fear, that kind of uneasiness, I don''t want to continue. I don’t want to experience an uncertain tomorrow again. I just want to be able to live today and be with her...forever..."


    “Yes.”


    ?Faced with the woman’s prayer, the man’s voice did not change at all. It''s like ten thousand years of solid ice, stone sculptures, and machinery. Nothing has changed, not in the past, not now, nor in the future. This world, and even him, didn''t seem to change at all, they just existed here - just like the darkness itself, it would never disappear.


    “Then, you can only make a contract with me.”


    ……contract?”


    "Yes."


    Facing the man’s response, the woman was silent for a moment.


    "I just want to escape from this fear. If this is the only way...then I will choose to make a contract with you."


    At this moment, the woman made a decision.


    “Then, your wish will come true, as long as you don’t give up.”


    Then darkness enveloped everything.


    Duanmu Huai opened his eyes.


    “Extreme madness always brings disaster, and so does love.”


    Looking at the sleeping blond girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai said lightly. As he said to Mary, the unforgettable love of Romeo and Juliet does not need to exist, let alone be appreciated. It''s just leftovers that will be used, twisted, and discarded.


    Any extreme emotion is unnecessary, love is the same, hate is the same, hope is the same, despair is the same. This is the source of the power of the evil of obsession. She is a victim who is crazy for love, has fallen, and has chosen a twisted path. This girl will not be the first, nor will she be the last.


    After all, this is the world, and so are human beings. The most dazzling fire will bloom only when hot emotions burn. But conversely, the moment the fire breaks out, it is also the time when the dark shadows are thickest.


    ?But then again...


    “Did you finally succeed?”


    This is the ability that Duanmuhuai awakened during the airship case. As long as he touches something, he can see its past to a certain extent. On the airship, Duanmu Huai came into contact with the soot on the corpse''s collar, and then saw the murderer standing next to the deceased after he fell. It''s just that this ability is a bit inconsistent, just like Duan Yu''s Six Meridians Divine Sword, it doesn''t seem to be guided by Duanmu Huai''s will.


    After arriving here, Duanmuhuai naturally thought about using this ability, such as Xia Li''s coma. After learning that Xia Li was also a guest of Yinmu Cabin and arriving at the Tartar Gate, he also tried to use this ability. A way to find the root and beginning of everything.


    So Duanmuhuai would take time every day to sneak into Charlie''s room, then reach out and touch the girl''s hair and face, trying to "read" her past.


    ?Of course, it never worked. But Duanmuhuai didn''t give up. Of course, one of the reasons was that Charlie was a beautiful girl after all. If he were a man, Duanmuhuai wouldn''t have such perseverance and perseverance. After all, chasing a man all day long is not a good hobby... Duanmu Huai thinks that he doesn''t have such a hobby.


    Since it doesn''t work once or twice, then use quantity to overwhelm quality. As long as you come often enough, you will definitely have the opportunity to trigger that magical power and peek into Xia Li''s past. As long as you can directly read Xia Li''s past. In the past, what happened to her is naturally not a problem.


    ?However, my rabbit is still very powerful.


    Until today - "luck" finally came to visit.


    The dice have been thrown, the numbers finally passed the judgment, and Duanmuhuai finally saw the past that the sleeping girl had experienced.


    but………


    “This one really... I don’t know what to say.”


    Looking at Charlie in front of him, Duanmuhuai was speechless. He had seen similar emotions in An and Gu Leiya, but unlike them, the girl in front of him seemed to have a deeper sadness and sadness. Grief.


    This girl... loves Mary.


    It has been like this since she was a child. Mary has been guarding her and protecting her. Perhaps because of this, the girl has deep feelings for Mary. On the surface, she takes care of Mary more than anyone else, but in fact, for her, Mary is her only inner support.


    Unconsciously, she began to fear, fear of losing her best friend.


    ?Of course, from Duanmuhuai''s perspective, this fear...well, it still makes sense.


    Duanmuhuai still remembers that when he and Mary met for the first time, Mary jumped into the cold, polluted river water without hesitation in order to save a drowning kitten. Had she not taken action at that time, Mary would have been swept away by the river. In fact, Mary has done similar things many times. She is brave, capable, and determined to move forward.


    They are all of good quality.


    But for the people around her, this is not the case. This is what Charlie is afraid of.


    ?Perhaps one day, Mary will drown in the river because of something similar. Or maybe they were nosy when they saw injustice on the road, and were arrested or even killed. After all, that''s her character, even if Charlie said it, she wouldn''t listen.


    This is similar to An and Gulea, but different from the two.


    ?Although An also likes to cause trouble, Gu Leiya is not too worried about her. On the one hand, An is very strong, and on the other hand, Gu Leiya is also very strong. Even if An encounters any danger, Gu Leiya will take the initiative to help An.


    But Charlie obviously does not have such an ability, and Mary does not have as strong a fighting power as Ann, she is just an ordinary girl. So if she encounters any danger, then... the consequences will naturally be unimaginable.


    How to put it... I can only say that women are more sentimental than men. If Duanmuhuai were to face this kind of thing, he could only say that life and death are determined by fate and wealth. Some people who have been focusing on health care for 30 years can still be fooled just walking on the street. It''s not fun to pay too much attention to such small details as a flowerpot falling from a height and killing it.


    ?But it''s obvious that Charlie doesn''t think so.


    So, she made a contract, for the arrival of a tomorrow that no longer has a future...


    Women...it’s really incomprehensible.


    Duanmuhuai shook his head. Maybe Lorena or An could understand?


    perhaps?


    I can’t understand it anyway.


    ?But that’s not important.


    The important thing is that through this exploration, Duanmuhuai finally found the mastermind behind the scenes.


    Royal Master''s College, Office of the First Professor.


    “Click… click… click…”


    In the silent, smoke-filled room, there was only the sound of the clock swinging. An old man in a black trench coat sat on a chair, holding a pipe and smoking silently. He had white hair and an old face that seemed full of exhaustion. I don''t know how long it took before the old man slowly turned his head and looked at the door.


    “I didn’t expect that there would be guests coming to my door.”


    “Hello, Professor.”


    Duanmu Huai stood in front of the door and looked at the old man calmly.


    “To be honest, I didn’t expect that my initial reasoning was actually not wrong.”


    "oh?"


    "Where did Charlotte Bront? learn about Capek''s research society? And why were the victims at the beginning all students of the Master''s College? At that time, I suspected that the teachers of the Master''s College were suspicious. Now it seems that my idea is not wrong.”


    After saying this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, and an aura full of fear and murderous intent emerged.


    “Are you right? The owner of Silverdusk Cottage, Professor James Moriarty?”


    “Hehehe...”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s question, the old man chuckled.


    “Where did you learn about it?”


    “From Miss Charlotte.”


    "It really surprises me. If I remember correctly, Miss Charlotte Bront? is still in a coma."


    “That’s right, but I also have my own ways.”


    Duanmu Huai stared at the old man in front of him and said coldly.


    "You noticed Miss Charlotte''s distress and directed her to go to Professor Capek''s seminar... You were planning all of this behind the scenes. I''m just curious, why did you do this?"


    "hehe………"


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s question, the old man raised his head and looked out the window.


    "I once opened the Tartar Gate, and that was a long time ago. There, I encountered a being, a great being who existed in this world before human civilization existed. So I decided to transfer my Give his body to him, to the last king of darkness who once ruled this world before humans - the Old One."


    …………”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, and the old man continued.


    "But that''s not all I want to do. The reason why I do this is just to do an experiment - that is, between humans and the old rulers, who can win the final victory? Can humans defeat the old ones? Are we the ruler? Or are we qualified to receive the legacy left to us by that great being and become the ruler of this world? Or will that great being eventually return and integrate this world with it again? Woolen cloth?"


    “It’s so boring.”


    Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.


    "Is this the reason why you associate with evil gods and intend to harm the world? Humanity has already encountered enough troubles, and there is no need for you to add some boring pranks to mankind here."


    “But it’s a grand, great, glorious prank that blocks countless ideas and wishes and lives, isn’t it?”


    “In the final analysis, it is just a prank.”


    Duanmu Huai clenched his cane, raised his brows, and looked at the old man coldly without any emotion.


    “Hahaha, it’s a pity that you are a step late. They have reached the Antarctic. Who can finally open the door..."


    However, the old man did not finish what he said.


    Because at this moment, Duanmu Huai raised his right hand, and the cane in his hand suddenly stretched out, instantly grabbing the old man''s neck, directly lifting him from the other side of the desk, and pulling him to Duanmu Huai''s feet. . Then Duanmu Huai raised his foot and stepped **** the old man''s face!


    “Pfft!”


    With a soft sound, the old man''s head suddenly burst like a watermelon, and his body twitched, then cracked and shattered like ceramic porcelain, and then disappeared into the air.


    “That’s stupid.”


    Duanmuhuai stared coldly at the gradually cracked and weathered debris under his feet, with a hint of disgust on his face.


    Humanity is already in a very difficult situation, so why are there always idiots who want to hold their own race back?


    ?But in this way, the culprit can be considered completely solved, and the next battlefield is... Antarctica.
