Chapter 259

He could never have done those things on his own.

But he never expected.

The "Serial Disappearance Case of Young Girls" concocted by the nobles was not simply for the sake of perverted enjoyment of beautiful women.

The truth was not just the long-term bullying, playing with, and murder of young girls from the lower and middle classes by the nobles.

"Those damn nobles actually used the 'Serial Disappearance Case of Young Girls' to legally strike at their opponents?"

Lu Shu clenched his fists.

These nobles really deserved to die.

From Marcel's "memory slice", one could clearly see that the descendant of Tirbert instructed Marcel to strike at Callas, an "enemy".

Because Callas had been investigating Oriphe and might have even found them.

The "Serial Disappearance Case of Young Girls" was just a sharp weapon.

It was both a perverted enjoyment and something that could be used to strike at enemies.

Heh!

"It's just a pity that Marcel can't die yet; it's too easy for him."

Callas still needed Marcel to clear his name.

After today, the "Disappearance Case of Young Girls" would once again sweep through the entire Court of Fontaine like a flood.

By tomorrow, it could be like the plot.

First, to clear Callas of his grievances!

Second, to seek justice for the missing girls and punish the pawn Vacher.

Third, to ferret out the noble group behind it.

Of course, there was no need to put those nobles on trial; he would go there personally today!

Not a single one of them would be able to run away.

Lu Shu gritted his teeth.

Then he looked at Navia, who was already crying with red eyes on the side.

He gently rubbed her little head.

"Don't worry!"

"I will ensure you see the scene where Marcel suffers and dissolves in despair."

"Mm."

"I believe you."

Navia nodded gently, then lifted her tear-stained, pitiful little face to look directly at Lu Shu.

She did not dodge the warm, large hand on top of her head.

"But, what I'm confused about is, even if Marcel's soul is put into the body of a Fontaine subordinate and dissolved, isn't that just changing the medicine without changing the ingredients?"

"His original body is still there!"

"Experiencing pain and dying bit by bit in despair is already the greatest punishment; as for whether Marcel's original body dissolves or not, that's not important, right?"

Focalors shook her head.

As she spoke, the corners of her eyes were twitching.

Furina, why are you still hugging him? Let go quickly!

What's the difference between you hugging him and me hugging him?

Also.

You're hugging him, and he's touching Navia; this scene looks strange no matter how you look at it.

"No!"

"Navia's words gave me inspiration."

"If Marcel's will is strong enough, although he can endure the pain of death, if he realizes that it is not his own body that is dying..."

"Then not only will he not repent in despair, he might even laugh mockingly."

Lu Shu shook his head and looked at Focalors in the mirror.

After all, it wasn't his own "body" that was dissolving.

If he kept suggesting this belief to himself in his mind, it would mean Lu Shu had wasted his effort.

Although he died in pain and despair, the goal was not achieved.

Death is not the goal.

The goal is to die in "fear".

"Actually, it's simple; I'll just create an illusion."

"He will only see his own body, and he won't remember that his soul was replaced into his subordinate's body."

"That will be enough."

Navia nodded heavily: "Mm!"

Fur-Fur pouted unhappily; you really dote on Navia.

Hmph.

Just as the group friends said, an old lecher.

【Future Rich Woman Health Group】

【Ding: 'Devil Cover Girl' has joined the chat group.】

【Furina: Oh~, a newcomer! @Xi Xi Luona, you profiteer, come out and sell Pokémon.】

She had just separated from Lu Shu.

They had each gone to busy themselves with their own tasks and work.

She only had one task.

That was to prepare twelve points of energy for tomorrow's "Trial".

She had just returned to her dormitory and opened the group chat, and hadn't even said two words before the newcomer suddenly popped in.

By the way, the ID had been changed.

Ever since she gained Hydro power and learned that she was indeed the Hydro Archon, she had removed the prefix.

The prefix had always been her last persistence.

But now it was no longer needed.

She was the Hydro Archon.

There was no longer any need to deliberately emphasize anything to the group members.

【Himeko: Devil Cover Girl? This ID...】

【Saeko Busujima: I'm so tired today; I killed quite a few zombies and robbed quite a few supermarkets. (Pamu smiles)】

【Cat Burglar Nami: Saeko, you'd better be careful.】

【Cynthia: I'm here, I'm here; I've been busy with the Champion Challenge recently. By the way, Fur-Fur, you rarely come online these days.】

【Furina: Something happened in my country recently; I guess I won't have time to chat for a long time. (Pamu sighs)】

【Mu Hai Xingzi: Is it serious? If you need help, just say so.】

【Furina: It's very serious, but Lu Shu is here.】

【Nakano Miku: Wow~, there's something fishy.】

【Makima: Which devil is this? Heh!】

【Kikyo:...】

【Miko Yotsuya:...】

Inside a Western-style fantasy mercenary guild.

The enthusiastic atmosphere was like a burning flame.

Members gathered in groups, sitting in twos and threes at oak tables.

Holding cups filled with amber-colored ale, they kept clinking them.

Some guys were full of pride, talking endlessly about how heroically they had defeated monsters.

Others were showing off the number and difficulty of the tasks they had completed this month. ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
