Chapter 46
"Ah!"
Warfarin sat up abruptly and panted heavily.
Her vision gradually became clear. The strange and terrifying sunflower field no longer existed.
What came into her sight was the familiar dormitory.
"I'm back?"
Warfarin saw the extremely familiar scene in front of her.
Without a doubt, she was in the dormitory right now. On her lap was the book that she had been reading.
"Could it be that all of this is just a dream?"
But was that real, and she could even feel pain? Was it really just a dream?
If that was the case, was this dream too real?
However, in the current situation, it seemed that she could only use dreams to explain everything that had happened before.
"Liz, Liz?"
Warfarin tried to call her roommate.
"Oh, right, that b*tch should be in Edward's bed right now."
After calling her a few times and getting no response, Warfarin finally remembered that her roommate did not return yesterday.
"Oh, what a terrible night."
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Warfarin's mental state was awful.
"Ah, I feel so tired!"
Warfarin's exquisite face revealed a strong sense of exhaustion.
She thought that she had fallen asleep and had a nightmare, but it was not the case in reality.
Therefore, her mental state was deplorable. Her body felt as if she had stayed up all night, and her entire body was weak and weak.
However, even so, Warfarin still had no intention of returning to sleep.
It was not that she did not want to sleep, but that she did not dare to.
Because the memory of that nightmare was still fresh in his mind, and it felt authentic. Now, as long as Warfarin closed her eyes, it was as if she could see the sunflowers with their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths wide open, twisted and terrifying, trying to devour her.
"This is really bad."
Warfarin forced herself to pour a gla.s.s of water, and she became energetic.
Holding the gla.s.s, she glanced at the calendar beside her and confirmed the time.
Her expression relaxed.
"It's a good day's rest."
Her gaze swept past the book on the bed that she had read a little yesterday.
What attracted her was not how wonderful the book was but that the book was borrowed from the library.
And right now, there was a young and handsome librarian in the library who also looked very strong.
When she thought of Flanders, she could not help but recall what Leeds had said yesterday.
Her mental state was a mess. She desperately needed someone to accompany her.
This person should have been Leeds, but unfortunately, she was busy now.
Without much thought, the frustrated valiant decided to go out for a walk.
But before that, she still needed a simple rinse.
Ever since she woke up, her body was sticky, and it made her very uncomfortable.
Jarrosus was also uncomfortable.
Ever since he returned to the Mage a.s.sociation, he could not even move due to the treatment.
The newly formed bones were very fragile. He had to be obedient and not move at all. He could not even be overly emotional.
That
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Looking at Rei, who had come to visit him, Jarrosus had a complicated look in his eyes.
"I have a feeling that Xuan city is a great devil from the h.e.l.l Dimension, and he's secretly using some strange tricks."
"Mephistopheles has been dragged out to retake the blame, hasn't he?"
It was obvious that this was not the first or second time Rei had done this.
Jarrosus immediately knew how Rei had done it.
"You also know that the scarecrow's situation is too special. If it really gets out, once it gets out, the situation will be terrifying."
"Of course I know."
Thinking back now, a trace of fear could not help but flash through Jarrosus' heart.
However, every time at this time, he would quickly adjust his emotions and mentality.
He wanted to avoid being dominated by fear.
The existence of the scarecrow was too unbelievable. The ability that the scarecrow had displayed at the moment left him at a loss.
"What do you plan to do?"
"After some time, when I'm done with the matters at hand, I want to take action personally."
This was the best that Rei could do. But, if it was possible, she really wanted to lead the team down the field now personally.
But there was nothing she could do. As the leader of the Magic a.s.sociation and one of the strongest humans on the human side, her work was no less than others.
Every day, her schedule was packed.
And these arrangements were not meetings or meeting anyone. They were all desperate battles that could kill her at any time.
Battle, battle, battle. These things had already become one with Rei's daily life.
"I'm leaving. You should recuperate well. I'll have to trouble you to take care of the a.s.sociation during this period of time."
After getting the information she wanted, Rei stood up and bade farewell.
"Take care of that good-for-nothing, Cathy. Don't let him mess up the a.s.sociation."
"Oh!?"
Jarrosus raised his eyebrows and looked at Rei in surprise.
Rei had always been on bad terms with Cathy. It was more like the Mage a.s.sociation had always been on bad terms with Cathy.
Cathy was just an outsider with no ability. The only reason she was able to do whatever she wanted to them was that she had someone backing her up.
Therefore, usually, Rei would step up to suppress Cathy and hold all the responsibility and consequences on herself.
If that were the case, the people behind Cathy would also turn a blind eye to it for Lei's sake.
But now, Rei actually asked him not to care about Cathy. This was undoubtedly a special signal.
Thinking of the Scarecrow who defeated him, Jarrosus suddenly felt relieved.
That's right, there was such a terrifying and strange existence outside. No matter how brainless the government's stupid politicians were, they would not joke about their own lives.
"I understand."
Jarrosus had long lost interest in power.
Ever since he became a magician and partic.i.p.ated in all kinds of strange events, he had understood one truth.
That was that this world always spoke with strength.
The law of the jungle was the rule of this world that would never change.
These politicians seemed to be very powerful in controlling resources, but in front of a magician like Jarrosus, they were just ants that could be easily crushed.
Therefore, Jarrosus only had one goal from start to finish, to surpa.s.s Rei.
He wanted to see Rei's surprised expression when she found out that he had made a breakthrough and even surpa.s.sed her.
That was what he wanted to see even in his dreams, not the calm and composed look that he had now when everything was under control.
However, Jarrosus' goal was not limited to just one. He also wanted to take revenge, for his subordinates, and for himself.
He would capture the scarecrow and subdue it. If everything went smoothly, he might even be able to complete his first goal when he completed his second goal.
Killing two birds with one stone.
