Chapter 240 Despair and Light
"Miss, are you looking for Miss Daya and the others?" When Lucian came out of the bathroom, he happened to meet another maid. The maid smiled, bent down, and stretched out her hand towards Lucian. Her movements were almost the same as the maid just now.

“They are going to play in the back garden now. Miss, can I take you there?” The maid smiled, but her smile made Lucian feel a little cold in his heart.

“I seem to… understand part of the meaning of ‘control’ in goblin sacrifice.” Lucian murmured in his heart. From his perspective, he could clearly see the extremely normal emotional color of the maid in front of him.

But at this moment, Lucian felt that these "normal players" were like soulless but incredibly sticky spider silk, and he himself was the poor insect whose body was entangled in the spider web, struggling desperately but unable to escape.

Even until the last moment, maybe I won’t be able to find Mr. Spider…

Maybe for me, even if I die now, it will only cause a little trouble to the goblin priest, right? For example, I can directly detonate my own spiritual power core, and then others can hear a bang and then enjoy the blooming blood-red fireworks...

An invisible feeling of despair enveloped Lucian. This strong, inexplicable emotion was quietly amplified in Lucian's consciousness, like a strong lasso that was about to completely trap Lucian's will to survive.

“Death may not be so bad…” Lucian murmured softly. At the same time, his mental power was already in a “super-active” state, as if the star that constituted his spiritual core would completely explode in the next moment.

But just as the "lasso" was about to tighten, a strong wave erupted inside Lucian's spiritual core.

……

Graybone Academy.

chi chi chi...

An unpleasant burning smell came from the crucible on Carly's laboratory table. Along with a burst of black smoke, the raw materials of the potion worth more than thirty magic stones were completely scrapped.

"Monica, could you please help me prepare two... no, three potion materials?" Carly took out a bag of magic stones from her storage bracelet with some annoyance and threw it to Monica, a student and lab assistant beside her.

"Teacher, should I come over in the evening or..."

"Let's wait two days. I'm not in a good shape today and need to adjust myself." Carly said softly. In front of her students, she would still try her best to appear strict. According to Carly's own understanding, this is the "teacher style".

"Well, how is your own research on healing magic going? I remember that you asked Sally to cooperate with you in the research before, right? But they are out for training now. If you need other wizard apprentices to cooperate with the experiment, remember to register first..."

Carly didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably irritated at the moment. She even felt that Monica's instructions were a bit too long-winded.

"I understand, Teacher Carly. Teacher, you should also make sure to rest. By the way, although the physique of fairies is different from that of humans, for symptoms like yours, listening to some music seems to help alleviate them..." Monica adjusted the lenses of her crystal glasses very seriously.

Carly nodded slightly, then stood in front of the desk that Lucian had used before and looked out the window.

Suddenly, she covered her chest tightly, feeling that a special connection was about to break.

"Teacher Lucian!" Carly's eyes widened. At this moment, she seemed to feel Lucian's suffocating despair. On the other side.

"This is the last set this morning!" Edison casually threw the heavy metal chain tied to his body to the ground.

The heavy chain hit the ground, making a shallow pit.

"Huff...Huff..." Behind him, there was a figure who was much thinner than Edison. His body was also tied with heavy metal chains, and he seemed a little shaky when he walked.

"Brando, you are too thin. You need to eat more to gain strength." Edison looked at Brando, whose face was a little pale at the moment, and grinned with his white teeth.

"I know, Brother Edison." Brando's body was shaking, but his eyes looked extremely determined. After being silent for a while, he looked up at Edison, who was more like a teacher than a brother.

"Well... I plan to leave Gray Bone Academy in two days and go back to my hometown."

"It's good to go home, it's good to go home." Edison nodded slightly, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

But he concealed this confusion very well. He stood up and patted Brando on the shoulder gently, "Go if you want to."

Suddenly, Edison's body trembled. Although his feelings were not as direct and strong as Carly's, at this moment, he suddenly felt his chest become extremely heavy, and even the dried meat he was chewing in his mouth seemed to have no taste.

"Teacher..." Edison uttered a word, but his voice became a little hoarse.

……

Two waves suddenly appeared in Lucian's spiritual core, which were different from Lucian's own will. One of them was emerald green and stronger, while the other was blood-red and weaker.

However, the emergence of these two fluctuations brought a turning point to Lucian's spiritual will in the one-sided confrontation with the noose of despair.

It was as if someone had thrown a stone in from outside, creating a small hole in the window that was originally completely sealed.

The hole was not big, but it was enough for the bright sunlight outside to rush in and quickly tear the darkness in the room into pieces.

Lucian almost subconsciously grasped this glimmer of hope for life, and his consciousness also broke away from the confused state just now. He then realized with some horror that he had almost been tricked without any sound!
The power of despair that quietly emerged within his spiritual core even made Lucian feel at a certain moment that it was his own thought. Even the idea of ​​wanting to detonate his spiritual core and end everything just now seemed so natural and logical.

“Get out of here!” After noticing the signs of despair, Lucian used his mental power to fight back without hesitation. His mental star accelerated its rotation and shattered the emotion of despair.

"Huff, huff..." Lucian heaved a sigh of relief only when there was no longer any trace of the dark emotion of despair in his spiritual core. The confrontation just now was quick and obscure, but he was unwilling to experience the danger a second time.
