Chapter 277

Therefore, he locked up the truth of his death after being reincarnated here.

Because he couldn't accept that the "heroine" who really ignited the light in his life was the one who killed him...

because……

Just like what Lucifer allowed herself to see in the Tenth Castlevania, at the last level, what she was most afraid of, what she was least willing to face, and what she wanted to escape most was that "death".

But, it's different now.

Because he thought that he had accomplished nothing in his "last life", and the "result" he got from making up his mind to move forward was taking death as a multiple-choice question in the form of "existence", allowing him to "live" as well as before——

Yes.

Speaking of which...

Transform them into themselves like this with your own hands...

He should be the one who is so dark to the core, right?

"one."

Although Shona was ruthlessly controlling the "countdown" with her precise timing, she was still staring closely at Will's expression.

She saw...

For some reason, Will seemed to have a shocked expression as if he had discovered the biggest secret in the world when he saw her dagger pointed at his neck.

She also saw it...

For some reason, after such an expression, he seemed to be stagnant for a second, as if he had spent an extremely rich ten years of life in this second, and finally shed tears.

She also saw...

For some reason, in the end, the corners of Will's mouth turned up slightly in front of her. To Shona, he... he was indeed smiling.

But this smile is not like a "relieved" smile after regaining one's strength, nor is it like a "painful" smile after being forced into a desperate situation, nor is it like a "helpless" smile after having to accept a difficult situation.

More like...

Some kind of conspiracy is succeeding, or...

A smile brewing a conspiracy that is about to succeed?

"Zero."

"Zero...eh?"

Taking the lead, Will said the final countdown before Shona. When Shona was about to swing the knife down hard, he reached out and held Shona's wrist.

"No, I really have to leave from here - and leave with you."

He seemed to deliberately avoid the firelight behind him, lowered his chin slightly, and used his brown hair to block some of the light in his eyes.

"...Are you... okay?"

"Heh. Of course it's okay - or in other words, I will never be in a better state than I am now!"

Shona put away the knife.

Although, she could feel from the tone... that Will, who must have some mental problems but was often extremely excited, was back.

Under this heavy drama that forced her to die... came back.

but……

She directly grabbed Will's chin, raised his face, and took a look at his intentionally hidden eyes to see if he was pretending...

But he shook his head.

"I've said it all, I'm fine. It's just... I just thought of some ways to punish them properly in the future. But, well, the first step is to leave here under the watchful eyes of Yiel, and let them all Know I'm gone from here."

"ah?"

Shona felt... was this person's change a bit sudden?

No, it can no longer be described suddenly.

he……

Shona looked at Will's back as he stood up, straightened his white shirt, picked up the thick coat from the side and put it on. He stretched out his hand again, picked up the monocle on the table and put it on.

He looked like...

It's like dying once.

Just because I "died" once, I suddenly felt that what I had experienced before was nothing.

...like this.

Boom, boom, boom.

Just then, the sound of the maid's high heels came from upstairs, and it was very urgent.

Too bad.

Shona knew that even though she used her scent to lure Elle far away, she would eventually understand that her target was Will, so she just had to stay by Will's side!

"You can take this dagger and pass through it to leave."

Shona handed the knife to Will.

"This place is too small. She may not know the purpose of this dagger. But following the smell, we may find where we left from, but I can help you block her, and then go..."

But Will didn't follow.

"Wait a mininute."

"Um?"

At this critical moment, she looked at Will very calmly, and even when she heard the footsteps of a maid who might have been holding a hatchet, she was not disturbed at all.

He took the lead in using fire magic to open the door lock.

Then……

He reached out and touched the pipe on the side. It looked like it hadn't been running for a long time, but Will was indeed full of confidence.

"Shuna, be careful."

"After all, the steam here... is really hot."

"Three-two-one, let's go!"

Bang——

At that moment, the entire room returned to its original purpose - a sauna filled with high-temperature steam.

Steam that can remove all "smells" explodes in the basement.

Chapter 305: The secret room where the System family disappeared (3k)

Shona never thought about a thing.

That is...

The high-temperature steam that she saw in the letter, which was higher than what ordinary dungeon monsters could reach, could actually be seen with her own eyes in reality... no, felt in person.

Because even though she pulled Will directly and passed through the wall that Will faced from the side she came from, she didn't come into contact with much steam, and the arm on her back was slightly burned by the sudden gas.

"Huh... this... this evil thing can't be you..."

However, when Shona was halfway through speaking, Will gently put his index finger between his lips and made a "silence" gesture.

He tilted his head slightly.

"Shh-"

Shona quickly closed her mouth.

Stare at that wall.

There even seemed to be some steam escaping from the wall, and even from such a long distance, you could feel the hot gas emanating from it.

However, the wall seemed to have been intentionally protected against moisture and high temperatures, so in this case, even such high-temperature steam did not seem to burn the wall.

In the darkness with a little light, the two of them were silent, and Shona looked into Will's eyes.

——He suddenly seemed to have figured it out.

Shona looked at those eyes and thought so.

Under the dark blue eyes that were still shining as before, his "secret" was hidden as always. Will seems to be such a person. Only when he still has a mystery that you can't see through, he has a charm that makes people like him.

Shona herself felt a little confused.

Because when she put the knife on Will's neck... and on her own neck, she didn't actually use her brain very much. The most she thought about was that Will, who was decadent and decadent and was about to put his life to the end, would be afraid of death. He still wanted to live a little bit, so he softly begged her not to kill him.

Uh-huh, yes, she thought it was quite interesting that Will slowly stood up from a weak state after falling into despair like this.

but……

What did he think of when he looked at himself? !

Why is it like being given an injection of excitement activator? My whole person becomes full of goals and has so much motivation...

Could it be...

Could it be that...

He, he actually... quite liked himself, and this crazy idea that he was going to die for his love... actually... inspired him?

Yes, too! If Will one day wants to drag her to die in love, she will definitely agree!

Boom, boom, boom.

While Shona was still thinking this, the sound of upward footsteps came from the "upstairs" where they were slightly away, and then became farther and farther.

"You guessed it, even an orc's nose can hardly distinguish the smell after experiencing high-temperature steam. She will find strange things... There is no trace of my smell in this room. Instead, the smell comes from her dragging me with her own hands. Come in outside the door.”

Will then put down his silent hand and explained.

"Oh, because I taught her... what she trusts the most is indeed my scent."

Will seemed particularly confident that he had the Yiel he knew at his fingertips - if Shona hadn't just seen him hanging on the chair dejectedly, she would have almost thought that nothing had happened. .

"So, how do we get out of here, and how did you get in?"

After everything was said, he stood in the room, looked around, and showed a rare confused expression.

"It's a long story. I...I only know that you were locked up in the basement. So...so I have been using this knife to experiment with ways to get into the underground, and then...I found a secret passage hidden underground."

"The end of the secret passage...is here?"

Shona nodded.

"Then let's go out through the secret passage. As long as we have a little bit of luck and don't hit Yiel, we can get out from here."

"...You...you, don't you want to explain?"

"Explain what? Oh...the principle of steam generation? I designed the room structure and steam generation outlet myself, and then asked a senior magician Carver knew to customize a penetrating magic formula inside. Burning magic crystals for energy, I just It only needs a activation magic to be used - oh, I'm betting, after all, it seems to have been abandoned for many years, so it may not work. "

Will "explained" confidently.

No one has really asked him for so many years!

This sauna that can adjust the temperature for Yiel's training is his proud work. Although he still wrote a letter and asked Carver to provide money and people, and also built a basement, the concept and principle are all his. !

So it can be reproduced in the capital later.

"As expected of Shona, no one has asked me about things in so many years, but you actually want to know the truth so much. You are worthy of being my confidant."

"Bosom friend... confidant... ah... yes, yes, yes, this looks very, very powerful. Although that's not what I want to ask..."

"That is?"

"Is this how you recovered?"

"Yes."

"No longer...feel hopeless and painful?"

"I don't think so anymore."

"You no longer feel good about being loved by them, so you don't do anything?"

"It's really nice to be loved by them. But...it seems like I should get a little revenge - that's why I have to 'disappear' from their eyes."
