No matter how chaotic the area is, no matter how busy the class is, she can't be the only one on the teleportation team... right?

Cecilia looked at the teleportation array that had been activated, and had no choice but to hold on to the handrail beside her obediently with the thought of not thinking about it.

The golden light hits the face.

Cecilia quickly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a familiar door came into view.

Fortunately, the destination is indeed right.That's just too true.

Arriving at the door in no time?

Chapter 9

The destination of the teleportation array was correct, and it was stuck at the gate with a small gap.The gate made of ornate steel-infused decorations remained motionless in the wind, as solid as a rock.

Cecilia stepped forward hesitantly and pushed, but it didn't take much effort to open the gap wider.

"..." Cecilia felt that she was not an overly nervous person—had her actions been smoother since the moment she received the projection?

Standing in front of the door, she recalled the rigid old professor who hadn’t issued a penalty notice for plagiarism, the good student Yier who agreed to help her ask for leave without any hesitation, and the nagging who helped her popularize Bentham information at the platform. The old teacher, she saw the team timetable at once and the school's unified time team that was so correct that one wondered if it was a private teleportation team.

... Even the superposition of accidental events is too coincidental.not to mention--

"There is no chance in this world, there is only necessity."

To put it bluntly, Cecilia smelled a conspiracy.

But she has no way out.Ahead is her home.

Whether it's a pure coincidence or multiple deliberate arrangements, even if the house in front has become a man-eating monster, emotionally speaking, she has to go in and break into it.

This is her home.

Cecilia suppressed the overly strong premonition in her heart, and gently pushed the door again with the last sliver of luck, her brain spinning rapidly.

El doesn't hesitate to let her leave school, proving that she must know something.And the old professor didn't punish him for copying, which proves that he probably knew about it.

That old professor is also an elf born from a holy tree.

Cecilia seemed to think of something suddenly, her hands trembled a few times, and she was so startled that she came back to her senses only to find that the door she pushed in front of her was still motionless.

She pushed a few more times, and felt that the door was blocked by something, as if there was a big pile of things underneath.

Cecilia glanced at the gap she had easily pushed open before—although it was not big, it was no problem for a 13-year-old girl to slip in and out.

She rolled up her sleeves, held her breath, lowered her figure, tiptoed along the crack of the door and stretched out a tiptoe tentatively.

sound of water.

In a daze, Cecilia thought it was her own illusion, so she couldn't help but tapped lightly on the ground again.

Undoubtedly the sound of water.

Cecilia's hand holding on to the door trembled violently again, causing her whole body to tremble.

Retracting her toes, Cecilia looked over expectantly and cautiously like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

It was a mottled red as delicate as plum petals.

Such a beautiful color has successfully pronounced the 'death sentence' of the 'prisoner' Cecilia.

is blood.

Cecilia was a little dazed for a while. She felt that she couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and she couldn't distinguish time and space. She rushed through the crack of the door with a swollen mind, and ran towards her mother's courtyard like crazy, not daring to Turn your head back.

She is afraid.Afraid that there would be a mountain of bones behind him, he stared at her with scarlet eyes, looked at her and asked - my dear lady, don't you know anything?

She should have guessed it... She should have guessed it!

Cecilia tried her best not to cry with a sullen face, and frantically recited the words of the etiquette teacher in her heart to numb herself, but accidentally tripped over the bloody cobblestone road by the hand stretched out from the corpse .

The blood splashed everywhere, as if the first batch of wild flowers in the garden that bloomed in the spring were small and tenacious, filling Cecilia's sight.everywhere.

everywhere.

Cecilia suddenly calmed down.She viciously wiped the blood stains mixed with her own blood and the blood of the people under her feet on some of the clothes that were not stained with blood, squatted down and gently put the arms outstretched under her feet back to the man's side, and stared at the man for a while. With the astonished eyes, a worse and more incredible thought could not help but pop up in his heart.

Closing the eyes of the person opposite, Cecilia stood up very peacefully, and walked step by step towards the destination that was already close at hand.

The door is open.Cecilia, who had already passed through the small courtyard, was standing at the door, slowly witnessing——

An unusually familiar figure swung the butcher knife at his mother without hesitation, and she could even hear his furious roar mixed with the subtle sound of the sharp weapon entering his body.

She couldn't help but took a step back.The body-length mirror facing her was suddenly covered with a thin layer of red mist, and then slowly gathered up, tick-tocking along the edge of the mirror on the floor.

Windy and warm.

Cecilia stared at the mirror stiffly, and watched in a daze as the familiar figure swung the butcher knife again and slashed at herself frantically.

That's too late--

She only felt that she was extremely awake, as if there was a rope tightly hanging on her head, forcing her to show a calm and expressionless face.

Forcing her to face up to the successive departures of her parents.

She is late.

her fault.

Chapter 10

At dusk, the Huoshaoyun rolls slowly in the sky, as if you can touch it by raising your hand.

On the contrary, it connected with the crimson around him.

Cecilia looked at the flames jumping in front of her with a cold face, her right hand, which had just released the spell, remained motionless, just froze in mid-air quietly.She stared at the sparks that splashed from the eaves from time to time—they rushed to the sky persistently, as if they were longing for God's guidance.

"boom--"

The house, which was full of heat waves, finally couldn't support it and collapsed with a loud noise.

Cecilia moved her sore fingers so stiffly that she slowly brought her arm back to her side.Facing the raging fire that was spreading, she stepped back towards the gate step by step.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

Cecilia counted silently in her heart, and carefully lifted the dress that she brought from her mother's wardrobe to prevent it from being burned by the flames.

Mother's clothes were indeed too big for her, and she had to hold on to the collar that slid down from time to time, so as not to accidentally expose her shoulders.

She finally came to the vestibule.

The fire spread badly, probably because the courtyard was full of poincianas that my mother liked.

Cecilia looked around, trying to recall what it used to be like here, but she couldn't.

That's right, she has been studying away from home for seven years.

seven years.Not one step back.Where did the deep memory come from?

The fire that she set off with her own hands is probably the deepest memory she has of this yard.

Cecilia turned around, carefully stepped across the bloody pool at the door, glanced at the pile of corpses at the door, and slipped out through the crack of the door without hesitation.

In her hand, she was still pinching the chain she took off from her mother's neck when she was grooming her mother.

"I have to go back to school." Cecilia, who had walked a certain distance, couldn't help turning her head again, staring hard as if she wanted to burn this door into her heart, and then turned her head without hesitation Stepping forward, "Whether it is to find out the truth or my own safety, I must go back to school."

However.Most of the teleportation arrays from Bentham have been out of service, including the one that can go directly to the school.

Cecilia looked at the text message floating in the air in the center of the transfer hall, and there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in her mind, but she couldn't grasp the direction.

But the current situation does not allow her to hesitate and retreat.

She gathered up the large robe she had just bought, and hurriedly walked towards the scooter rental office, planning to go to the inner city first and then go back to school through the teleportation array.

Everyone on the street was extraordinarily silent and serious.The short renter in charge who almost hid his figure behind the counter handed her the space core containing the vehicle in silence, then looked around, leaned over and whispered to her: "Little girl, don't come back after you go out." .In a short time, the big figures from the imperial capital may impose a complete martial law on this place. Bentham may only be able to enter and not exit for a period of time in the future.”

Cecilia clenched her fists secretly, responded softly, nodded and thanked the man before turning and leaving.

—Even the air has become gray.Cecilia, who walked out of the hall, looked up at the dark sky, only to feel that the air that was always considered clean seemed to be particularly dirty.

She needs help.She has to go back to school.

The elves are a race that is good at prophecy.They must know something.

……

The journey back to school was not as bumpy and difficult as Cecilia imagined, but it was smooth as usual.

She walked out of the teleportation array, opened the school gate with her terminal, and saw Yier running towards her before she had walked a few steps.

"Sisi..." Yi'er stopped a few steps away from her, and when she saw her move to meet her, she staggered back a few steps.

"Cecilia." A cold and inorganic voice sounded from behind Cecilia who was stunned. Cecilia quickly turned her head and saw a projected parchment with a seal she had never seen before. Fluctuating and floating behind her, "Sorry, you have been expelled from school, I hope you can pack your luggage and leave school as soon as possible. Above."

Cecilia finally knew what she had been wrong along the way.
