Chapter 351: You Are Only a Spirit

“Ah!”

Within the immediate the chandelier fell, the Substitute yanked Lise again. The sq. chandelier within the hallway crashed to the bottom in entrance of Lise, and shards of glass reduce her little foot encased in white stockings.

Ignoring the small damage, Lise anxiously regarded on the Substitute. “Are you okay?”

In contrast to her, the Substitute would instantly dissipate with even minor injury. If the present Lise was a helpless doll, then the Substitute was a real bubble.

The Substitute didn’t reply, merely carrying Lise over the shattered glass, silently and loyally fleeing down the hall.

Behind them, the aloof Black Knight pursued their backs at a leisurely tempo.

Clad in dense scale armor, with an ebony helmet extending right into a plume of raven feathers, the Black Knight’s darkish silver metal boots made a muffled thud on the carpet, transferring like a stroke of ink on parchment.

It wasn’t notably tall, nor was it particularly burly even with the armor, however its silent oppression was sufficient to go away all prey gasping for breath. It wielded no weapon, holding solely a black-silver-covered book-the Gospel E-book.

Because the Substitute and Lise handed by a window, the Black Knight frivolously flicked its fingers, shattering the glass into numerous fragments. If not for the Substitute’s well timed dive ahead with Lise, they might have been showered with glass shards.

The thirteenth time.

This was the thirteenth time Lise had encountered such an ‘accident.’

The second Lise noticed the Black Knight in her bed room, the Substitute had instantly scooped her up and rushed out. Surprisingly, the Black Knight didn’t assault straight away, even permitting them to run a number of extra steps, as if a health care provider assessing a affected person’s situation.

Once they had fled a sure distance, and Lise practically thought the Black Knight had entered the flawed room, the ‘accidents’ started.

Falling chandeliers, exploding fireplace extinguishers, shattering home windows, crumbling plaster, splintering doorways… The constructing, dwelling to the core members of the Senhaeser household, all of a sudden become a hazard zone, full of startling surprises at each nook.

Simply now, when Lise tried to run in direction of the stairwell fireplace exit, she watched in disbelief because the strong, thick wall collapsed into rubble, blocking the hearth exit and turning it into the largest fireplace hazard. In comparison with the hearth exit, the elevator shaft fared barely higher—it merely began smoking and prematurely retired.

Clearly, the Black Knight didn’t intend to kill her, however neither did it intend to let her escape this ground. Lise had two decisions: disguise in one other room and play hide-and-seek with the Black Knight, or leap out of the window.

To not point out, the Black Knight had simply demonstrated its distinctive hide-and-seek expertise. Lise had skilled what it was wish to play hide-and-seek with somebody holding the Gospel E-book a number of days in the past—Ashe was terribly unfair, utilizing Gospel factors to cheat even in a sport with kids.

Lise didn’t know what to do now. Though she wished to debate it along with her sisters, they hadn’t appeared within the mirror when the Black Knight confirmed up; at that second, the Little Witch understood what her sisters meant.

If she guessed appropriately, this Black Knight was after her sisters, they usually couldn’t present up simply!

Now it was her flip to guard her sisters!

“Why are you chasing me!?” Lise climbed onto the Substitute’s shoulder and shouted on the Black Knight, “I don’t even know you, and I haven’t carried out something flawed, so why are you doing this?”

Nevertheless, it wasn’t fully unscathed.

Drops of blood fell onto its face, mingling with the mud to kind a unclean, sticky combination. It turned its head upward to see a small, delicate determine.

Lise had unfold her arms to defend the Substitute. A stone bigger than her had struck her again. Her head appeared to have been injured, as crimson droplets slid down by gravity, carving a path via the dusty white hair, soaking her delicate brows, and falling onto the Substitute’s face like dewdrops. Her knees have been barely bent, her white stockings torn and tattered, with rust-colored stains spreading from the injuries, resembling roses blooming within the snow.

This fragile and seemingly breakable crystal youngster now stood like an unyielding fortress, bearing all of the injury alone to guard a bubble.

“Take me away,” she stated.

The Substitute instantly hugged Lise and fled, narrowly avoiding the secondary collapse of particles. Lise clung tightly to the Substitute, obvious on the Black Knight with hatred.

“You truly don’t really feel any ache. Along with your present accidents, it is best to have handed out.”

Hatred overwhelmed rational thought at that second. Lise screamed, “Die, die, die! I’m not afraid of you! I received’t cross out! Waaa, I’ll name Dad to come back and kill you!”

The Black Knight ignored Lise, persevering with to talk methodically, “Initially, I used to be simply suspicious, however now I’m virtually sure. Your so-called ache is only a sensation you’ve imagined. Hormones and neurons can’t really have an effect on you.”

“Why aren’t you influenced by the white mist? As a result of you may’t think about the consequences of withdrawal signs.”

“Why don’t you cross out from extreme accidents? Since you don’t wish to.”

“So long as you don’t care or give it some thought, nothing exists.”

For some motive, listening to the Black Knight’s meticulous evaluation of her scenario, an indescribable panic surged inside Lise. She resisted the urge to take out her hand mirror, gripping the Substitute’s neck so tightly that her nails practically pierced its pores and skin, as if fearing that the Black Knight’s subsequent phrases would strip her of every part.

“What… precisely are you attempting to say?!”

Crash!

One other window shattered close by, and the Substitute hugged Lise, dodging the bathe of glass shards.

Within the chaotic rain curtain of fragments, Lise noticed the Black Knight write one thing within the Gospel E-book. The speaker above echoed a chilly declaration:

“You aren’t the grasp of this physique, so this physique can not have an effect on you.”

“You aren’t even human.”

“You might be merely a spirit.”
