The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　"It's done!"

　Professor Mitia casually picked up the book that was sealed by the barrier and examined it from head to toe.

　Then she asked curiously, "How did you find it?"

　……

　A few minutes later, after learning the whole story, Mitia opened the book with admiration.

　But she didn't look at it closely, then closed the book and returned it to Dark.

　"Professor, aren't you going to watch anymore?" Dark asked curiously.

　Professor Mitya smiled slightly and said, "Knowing what kind of book this is is enough. I have no interest in knowing the methods of cultivating demons."

　Dark frowned slightly and asked, "Are there any taboos involved?"

　Mitia then said meaningfully, "The demon race is extinct."

　……

　The group entered the inner room one after another.

　Although Dak was still holding the book, he no longer turned the pages.

　They approached the bedside and looked down at Angus Jeffrey lying on it.

　Sister Kallian asked, "Should we wake him now?"

　Professor Sylph said solemnly, "Wake up."

　Sister Kallian nodded, then suddenly slapped Jeffrey on the forehead.

　"Snapped!"

　A crisp sound without any trace of magical energy.

　Dark's vision went black, and he saw Angus Jeffrey suddenly wake up with a scream as if he had a nightmare.

　When he opened his eyes wide, his scream stopped abruptly, and his face turned deathly pale.

　Then he immediately glared at Dark Dimon in the crowd, and Dark Dimon smiled back at him.

　Angus Jeffrey clearly hadn't grasped his situation, and he instinctively grinned in response. But his gaze shifted slightly downwards, and he saw the book, *Into the Abyss*.

　He shuddered, a sudden chill running through him, feeling a bone-chilling cold.

　"Do not be afraid."

　Professor Cazell's gentle voice rang in his ears, carrying a mysterious power to soothe the soul.

　Angus Jeffrey gradually calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Where is this?"

　Professor Kazel said, "You've collapsed on the platform. This is the infirmary."

　"Player's platform... unconscious?" Angus Jeffrey murmured repeatedly, then suddenly his eyes rolled back, his head tilted back, and his consciousness was cut off again.

　……

　After a long pause, Professor Cazell asked hesitantly, "Did I say anything?"

　“There is great horror in your words.” Sister Kallian pointed a finger at Angus Jeffrey’s face several times, then said, “I have awakened him again. Watch your words.”

　Dark glanced at Angus Jeffrey's face and said apologetically, "How about I step back a bit?"

Refresh in half an hour

　Angus Jeffrey's nerves shouldn't be so fragile.

　But his mind had indeed been eroded by "Into the Abyss," and he had just experienced a painful duel, so it was understandable that his mental resilience had become weak.

　The gentle professors did not blame him for this.

　The understanding young Dark silently took a half step back, hiding half of his body behind Professor Sylph.

　Then Sister Kallian used the same trick again and woke him up once more.

　With a flushed forehead, Angus Jeffrey opened his eyes in a daze. The experience he had just had seemed to be part of a nightmare, and he did not have a clear memory of it.

　"Jeffrey, are you awake?"

　Professor Cazell's voice was as gentle as water as ever.

　As Angus Jeffrey gradually regained consciousness, he followed the sound and saw Professor Cazell, Professor Sylph beside Professor Cazell, and Professor Lily floating in mid-air.

　Professor Cazell is actually quite famous in the college, and most students know him.

　Professor Sylph and Professor Lily are the deans of the Knights Academy and the Magic Academy, respectively, with Professor Sylph also serving as the vice principal of the academy.

　It's impossible for any student in the college not to recognize them.

　Angus Jeffrey's mind raced through the names of the three professors, and then a thought suddenly popped into his head: What happened with such a big commotion?

　"Hello, professors..."

　Sensing something was wrong, Angus Jeffrey instinctively greeted him.

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "Do you remember what happened before?"

　Angus Jeffrey couldn't help but think, "If I knew what had happened, would I still need to... ah!"

　He suddenly recalled what had happened before, and his face turned pale.

　Having learned from his previous experience, Professor Cazell immediately flicked his finger, and a ray of white light entered Angus Jeffrey's mind, making him more resilient.

　Therefore, he did not fall into a coma again as before.

　Angus Jeffrey, having fully recalled what had happened, looked extremely grim.

　He asked cautiously, "Professor Kazel, did I faint on the contestant's platform?"

　Professor Cazell nodded slightly: "Yes."

　Angus Jeffrey looked at the professor's face and suddenly felt a sense of relief for some reason.

　Perhaps fainting on the contestant's stage isn't such a bad thing; at least you don't have to think about how to face a crushing defeat on the spot.

　He whispered, "Did you bring me here?"

　Professor Cazell said, "It's Professor Sylph."

　Angus Jeffrey struggled to sit up halfway and looked at Professor Sylph: "So it's the Vice Principal, thank you, Vice Principal..."

　But when he sat up and looked around, he saw Dark Dimon taking a half-step back, and his words faltered, leaving him speechless.

　Dark smiled at him and hid "Into the Abyss" behind his back.

　……

　After a brief exchange, Professor Cazell cut to the chase: "Jeffrey, did you cultivate the 'Cerebrolysmic Demon' that's parasitizing Fern Morse's brain?"

　Angus Jeffrey tried his best to pretend that Dark Dimon didn't exist, but when he suddenly heard this, he asked in surprise, "Professor, what are you saying?"

　Professor Cazell's eyes flickered as he turned to look at Professor Sylph, then gently shook his head.

　Professor Sylph frowned, her face showing disappointment.

　If it can be confirmed that the "Cerebrolysm" parasitizing Fern Morse's brain was cultivated by Angus Jeffrey, then this incident can skip directly to its conclusion, after which all that remains is to find the source of "Into the Abyss".

　But as Professor Mitia predicted, this case is clearly not going to be closed so simply.

　Angus Jeffrey couldn't possibly lie to Professor Cazell; he didn't breed that "Cerebrolysm"!

　"Could there be someone else between Cameron Maysfield and Angus Jeffrey?"

　Professor Cazell pondered for a moment, then asked very directly this time, "Jeffrey, when did you obtain 'Into the Abyss'?"

　Angus Jeffrey asked in confusion, "What is 'walking into the abyss'?"

　Professor Kazel fell silent.

　He thought of Cameron Maysfield again.

　When asked at the time, Cameron Maysfield, like Angus Jeffrey, had completely forgotten the name of the book.

　But all he forgot were the names and the contents of the book.

　In fact, he clearly remembered that he had once obtained such a book and knew its general outline, but he couldn't recall any further details.

　Angus Jeffrey's current situation is likely based on the same reason.

　Professor Kazel said gently, "Into the Abyss is the name of a book that records a special method of cultivating demons."

　Angus Jeffrey's eyes widened suddenly, and he whispered, "So the book's name... is 'Into the Abyss'?"

　Professor Cazell gave Dark a wink.

　Dac then took out "Into the Abyss" which he had hidden behind his back and brought it to his face.

　Without any prompting, Angus Jeffrey saw the book again.

　Professor Cazell asked again, "When did you acquire this book?"

　Angus Jeffrey answered without hesitation, "Late September."

　Late September?

　Professor Cazell frowned and asked, "Can you confirm the exact time?"

　Angus Jeffrey seemed very cooperative: "Let me think...it was probably September 18th. I was looking for information in the library when I suddenly came across this book, and then I borrowed it from the library. Is there anything wrong with this book?"

　“Kazel?” Professor Sylph suddenly spoke up.

　Professor Cazell's brow furrowed deeply.

　After a moment's thought, Dak realized the crux of the problem.

　Cameron Maysfield found "Into the Abyss" at the beginning of the school year, on September 3rd.

　Fifteen days later, "Into the Abyss" suddenly disappeared. That was on September 18th!

　If Angus Jeffrey also found "Into the Abyss" on September 18th, then it basically proves that there was no third party between him and Cameron Maysfield.

　But without this third party, how can we explain the origin of the "brain fluid demon"?

　It can't just appear out of thin air!

　……

　After careful consideration, Professor Cazell asked again, "Have you shared the contents of the book with anyone else, or lent the book to anyone else?"

　Angus Jeffrey slowly shook his head: "How could I possibly show it to anyone else?"

　Professor Cazell pressed further, "Has it remained in your possession until today?"

　Angus Jeffrey nodded. "Yes. But it's just a book, isn't it? Although it contains some methods for cultivating demons, the school rules don't prohibit cultivating demons. And I only cultivated some body parts as materials... Wait, I think I forgot something?"

　Professor Kazel explained, "That book was made from the skin of a 'Book Eater.' Once the holder changes, the knowledge within is completely erased from the book through photocopying, replication, and even thought processes; only the holder can remember it."

　Angus Jeffrey instantly understood, and his gaze toward Dark Dimon became more ferocious.

　He finally realized why the book was in Dark Dimon's hands—Dark Dimon had stolen it!

　……

　Darke ignored Angus Jeffrey's gaze; he was rapidly deducing based on Professor Cazell's questions.

　Professor Cazell possesses the ability to read minds, and Angus Jeffrey cannot hide his lies from him.

　Therefore, we can assume that everything he said is true.

　Similarly, it can be concluded that the information provided by Cameron Maysfield is also true.

　So, this book, "Into the Abyss," has been in their hands since September 3rd.

　Neither Cameron Maysfield nor Angus Jeffrey successfully bred a complete "Cerebrolysm".

　So who exactly cultivated the "brain fluid demon" that parasitizes Fern Morse's brain?

　In conclusion, Darkl deduced three possibilities.

　① There is more than one book titled "Into the Abyss".

　② "Into the Abyss" existed much earlier and belonged to other people.

　③Someone obtained the method for cultivating "Brain Fluid Demon" from other places.
