Following Yias back to the dormitory, Yang Yu heard about Bai Jin's situation, and he and Yias waited in wait.
It was midnight when Bai Jin sneaked into the dormitory in the dark. Under the light of the magic lights in the corridor, she tiptoed towards her room.
Bai Jin's originally messy hair became even more messy due to lack of care, and her dark circles showed no signs of disappearing from morning to night. On the contrary, they became darker as time went by.
She changed her clothes every day. There was no peculiar smell or fragrance. The only smell was a faint herbal scent.
At least, she is aware of being a girl.
With such an appearance, such a solitary personality, and the slightly mysterious dress, Bai Jin exudes an aura that keeps strangers away.
This aura naturally isolated some people who wanted to make friends with her, allowing her to have more time to study, but also making her seem more lonely.
It was not Bai Jin's original intention not to dress up.
In the past, when she was alone, she would dress up a little, at least to make herself look not so bad.
However, the library conference will begin the day after tomorrow, and Yang Yu will be back soon.
Soon, she would have to leave the Library of All Things and would no longer be able to enjoy the high-quality magic education provided by the Library of All Things.
Even if it's just a little bit, she wants to improve her strength as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to keep up with Yang Yu and the others and would hold them back.
Bai Jin has silently decided that she will no longer be a burden to them.
For this reason, she studied day and night, striving to master more skills as soon as possible so that they could be of greater use.
After studying for a whole day, Bai Jin was already exhausted. Today she planned to fall into bed and fall asleep. Tomorrow she would get up early as usual, study hard, and learn magic.
Just as Bai Jin took out the contribution card and wanted to open the door, two dark shadows came quietly behind her. Bai Jin was so scared that she didn't hold the contribution card properly and it fell to the ground.
"Have you always come back at this time? Isn't the library closed at this time? Where on earth have you been?"
The aggressive Iyas came into view, and Bai Jin quickly explained: "I just went to the open space alone to practice magic."
As she was talking, Bai Jin couldn't see Yang Yu in the distance, and suddenly realized that her appearance had not been combed for a long time. She hurriedly waved her staff, asking Iyas and Yang Yu to stay away from her, and then hurriedly pulled up the hood of her wizard robe to cover her haggard face.
"Don't look at me. Don't look at me!
At midnight, if you encounter a curse wizard, even if the curse wizard does not do anything, you will be cursed by the curse wizard just by watching.
I am also a curse mage. If you don't want to be cursed, stay away from me. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
Having said this, Bai Jin hurriedly bent down to pick up the dropped contribution card, but found that her vision, which should have become narrower, did not change at all.
Because she was too nervous, Bai Jin had completely forgotten that He Meng was lying in the hood.
With He Meng's limp body, there was no way for the hood to fall completely down.
What's worse is that Bai Jin's series of actions woke He Meng up. He Meng's shapeless appearance became round and plump again, which pushed up the brim of Bai Jin's hat, exposing Bai Jin's haggard face to Yang Yu.
The first thing He Meng did when she saw Yang Yu was to jump up high and send a slime charge towards the man who had not offered her food for several days and let her find something to eat at will.
Yang Yu caught He Meng steadily as if he was catching a basketball.
He put He Meng down, then took out a flowerpot and placed it on the ground, put a four-leaf clover seed in it, and used [Four-leaf Clover Cultivation] to cultivate a whole cart of four-leaf clovers for He Meng.
Seeing this, He Meng no longer had time to pay attention to Yang Yu. He jumped onto the soft four-leaf clover and feasted on it.
And Yang Yu walked straight towards Bai Jin.
Bai Jin quickly adjusted her hood and put it on her head to prevent Yang Yu from seeing her face.
Yang Yu stretched out his hand towards Bai Jin's head, but before his hand touched Bai Jin's head, he stopped. After hesitating for a moment, Yang Yu chose to pat Bai Jin's thin and trembling shoulders.
“You don’t have to push yourself like this.
I know you want to learn a lot of things, but some things cannot be learned overnight and require gradual progress.
Although I've been away these days, I know all your efforts.
Don't push yourself too hard. If you damage your body, it will not be worth it.
You probably still remember the feeling of being tortured by the disease, and you definitely don’t want to repeat the same mistake.”
Bai Jin's tense shoulders slowly relaxed. It was just as Yang Yu said, if she pushed herself too hard, her old illness might relapse.
Yang Yu probably doesn’t have any medicine that can cure her.
If anything happens, I will really be a burden to both of them.
Slowly lifting the hood covering his face, Bai Jin showed an embarrassed smile on his tired face.
"I'm sorry to have caused you worry. But it's okay now. I've fully realized my mistake and I won't hold you back anymore. So..."
Before she could finish her words, perhaps because she felt completely at ease, she felt sleepy and fell into the arms of Yang Yu who was not far away, and fell into a deep sleep.
Yang Yu hugged Bai Jin with one hand and tapped his head in distress with the other hand.
Perhaps, it was a wrong decision to let the God-Destroying Light devour them both and plunge them into despair at the same time.
Iyas probably saw a future in which he could not save his brother, but what did Bai Jin see
at the same time.
The believers dressed in black were arranged in six rows on each side, gathering in a dark temple.
Midnight is the time for them to pray.
In the center of the dark temple stood two bright pillars of fire, illuminating the object of their prayers.
But the object of their prayers is not the white goddess with spread wings in the public impression, but a ferocious demon with spread bat wings, green face and fangs.
The words of prayer from their mouths could not really be considered prayers, as they contained a lot of curses and insults against the goddess.
Everyone here thinks that they have been abandoned by the goddess. It is precisely because they have been abandoned by the goddess that they seek the protection of the devil, believe in the power of the devil, and believe that the devil will one day return to the world, take their souls as a price, and fulfill their unfulfilled wishes.
One day.
