“Ah…are you crazy!?” Bernice took a half step back in disbelief, shock showing in her red eyes. The purple-black flames burned wildly on the man's body. In just a few seconds, a large area of his skin was carbonized, and the festering wounds emitted a burnt and stinking smell. These flames with spiritual power seemed to be out of control at this moment, burning everything they touched, including their owners, without distinguishing between friend and foe! The charred and carbonized marks spread rapidly on the pale and ferocious face, and the great pain caused the man's facial features to be distorted. From the dry and hot throat, an inarticulate, low and hoarse scream, like the roar of a trapped beast, was squeezed out. It was extremely horrifying and terrifying. "No... this lunatic!" Bernice immediately realized that this guy wanted to commit suicide, and immediately stretched out her right hand and aimed at the other person with her palm: "Those who commit the crime of 'imbalance' must be punished!" "call--"
The blood-like color in the red eyes became a little richer, and then returned to normal. Following the ancient and distant command, the purple-black flames on the man's body seemed to be poured with cold water, and suddenly became much weaker. However, this kind of weakness only lasted for a very short time. The next second, the purple flame emitting heat waves surged up again and engulfed the man in an instant! "Bloody Moon! This guy is simply..." Bernice was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, seeing the man's skin and flesh melting away rapidly, revealing his white, bloody bones. She could no longer endure such a cruel and bloody scene, and turned her head away in horror, as if she was the one in the terrifying purple flame. "brush--" At this moment, the flames on the man's body made a crackling sound and rose rapidly again. But this time, they did not continue to spread and expand, but left the man's body one after another! Bernice immediately sensed something was wrong, and she quickly suppressed her nausea and disgust, turning her head to look at the man who had fallen to the ground. The flames had now completely separated from him, leaving behind only a broken, dying body. And those purple-black flames were now suspended in the air, gathering together and condensing into a huge fireball. They had lost their restlessness and frenzy, and were burning quietly in the air. Then, it descended little by little and floated towards a certain location little by little. Finally, it overlapped with a figure and gradually disappeared. It was a figure that walked out from the darkness in the corner. He was thin, with gray hair, wearing a vest, and dragging a simple broom in one hand. The purple-black flames in front of him became extremely docile, like a military dog seeing its master, and were completely absorbed by him without any signs of frenzy. "Children, the library is a quiet place." This ordinary-looking old man with no memory of his own walked out of the shadows step by step and towards the area where Donna, Bernice and the mysterious man were. On his ordinary face was a kind and gentle smile, and his voice was deep and mellow:
"Besides, you made such a mess here...it will be very troublesome for me to clean it up." Chapter 253 "Sweeping Monk" Seeing a fourth person suddenly appear, Bernice was shocked and grabbed him in the air with one hand. "call!" A ball of green light rose from the ground and completely enveloped her, forming a deceptively thin protective layer. The cleaning lady looked at her gently, smiling amiably, and said cheerfully: "Little guy, you've been in my school for so long, do you think I don't know?" "what?" Bernice was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, but she took a few steps back very vigilantly to keep some distance from the old man. The cleaning lady held a broom and dustpan in one hand, walked slowly to the charred, motionless man, and poked him with the broom: "He's dying. If you don't take some action, you might not be able to achieve your original goal." Although he was looking at the man when he spoke, it was obvious that this sentence was actually directed at Bernice, who was a "sprout" vampire and possessed certain "earth" domain spell abilities. The man is now dying. If left alone, he will probably only live for a few minutes at most. Although the cleaning lady didn't know that Bernice's action was ordered by Qi Ji, based on her previous performance, it was not difficult to see that she wanted to capture the man alive. "Gulu..." Of course, Bernice could understand the other party's hidden meaning. She swallowed nervously, grabbed the edge of her skirt, and hesitated in a very conflicted manner. The content of the "mission" she received from Qi Ji was that Donna might be attacked by a transcendent being at the level of a righteous mage. What she has to do is to save Donna and capture the killer alive. Now, she has completed half of this "task", and with some "Earth" spells she has mastered, she can effectively save the man's life. But the problem is, that old man who is dressed like a cleaner and has a kind face is someone you can tell at first glance is definitely not someone to be messed with! The fact that he was able to easily "tame" and absorb the purple flame that the man used to commit suicide meant that he was almost certainly a mage from the "Chaos" realm. Moreover, there is a high probability that he is at least at the level of a high-level righteous mage! What's more, he also said something like "I've known about your existence for a long time", which means that he probably knows his identity as a vampire. Bernice couldn't confirm whether the old man was an enemy or a friend to her, or whether he had any ill intentions towards her. It's even unclear whether he is in cahoots with those guys who want to arrest him! In this case, even if the other party helped me in some sense... It was really difficult for her to let down her guard and run to his side to cast healing spells on the man. "Ha ha……"
The old cleaning man didn't seem to be in a hurry. He smiled gently, stood leisurely beside the man with the broom in his hand, and looked at Donna who was sitting on the ground. Donna was now completely dumbfounded. In just a few minutes, she had experienced too many excitement and twists and turns. The huge amount of information she was facing plunged her into a state of near dementia. She could do nothing but sit on the ground in a daze. The old man stared at her, his eyes becoming somewhat solemn for some reason, and the kind and gentle smile on his face gradually faded, tinged with an inexplicable sense of apology. Then he said in a rather serious tone and low voice: "Kid, I'm sorry." "……Forehead?" Donna calmed down a little, but was still confused by the old man's incoherent apology and had no idea what he meant. The old man did not explain, but shook his head, as if he sighed secretly, and a vague look of self-blame appeared on his face. At this moment, Bernice, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly seemed to have made up her mind and asked the old man very seriously: "Please let me...heal him." The old man's expression regained its ease and kindness, and he took a half step back: "On your own." Bernice didn't hesitate any more and walked quickly to the man. He stretched out a hand, spread out his five fingers, suppressed his nausea, and pressed directly on the charred, pus-oozing, and foul-smelling body. "The great and noble 'Ancient Moon'..." Enduring the greasy, rough and extremely disgusting touch, she prayed devoutly to the ancestor of the blood clan, the "Ancient Moon", and successfully obtained the power of the "Earth" full of life. Then, he skillfully injected it into the tattered body. With the infusion of surging life energy, the man's festering skin gradually healed and formed scabs, and the scars deep enough to see the bones also showed signs of improvement. This kind of "treatment" not only works on the body, but also penetrates into the opponent's soul, slightly improving the condition of the soul that was originally damaged by the purple flame. After a few minutes, exhausted, Bernice moved her hand away. "call……" Even though she felt extremely disgusted and resentful inside, she didn't have the strength to shake off the dirt that had gotten on her. She just gasped for breath. Although the man's body was full of wounds and was still unsightly, he was far from recovered, and his consciousness had long since fallen into a coma and was unconscious. But at least his breathing has become more stable and he is no longer in danger of death for the time being. After bending forward slightly and standing there to catch her breath for a while, Bernice recovered some strength, stood up straight, and looked at the old man in front of her. "you……" The old man stared back with a smile on his face, his mouth half open, and was about to say something when he suddenly froze.
The vampire's red eyes were filled with fear and tension, and his thin shoulders were trembling slightly. She lowered her eyebrows timidly, stared at the old man with tearful eyes, and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, with a faint cry: "I, I'm very weak now... If you want to do anything to me, I will definitely not be able to resist..." "what?" The old man frowned in confusion. Bernice continued pitifully: "I mean, I trusted you and believed you were a good person, so I didn't run away directly, but came here to treat his injuries..." As she spoke, she slowly raised her head, a timid yet hopeful look appearing on her pretty, fair face: "So, you, you really are a good person, right...?" Bernice's appearance is very cute and beautiful, and now she looks so pitiful. I'm afraid that even if the other party really had some ill intentions at the beginning, he would inevitably feel some sympathy for her. "Uh……" The old man was speechless for a long time before he let out a breath and revealed a helpless expression: "Little guy, you've been in my school for so long. If I really wanted to do something to you, would I have to wait until now?" Hearing what the other party said, Bernice breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest with her hand, and murmured softly: "That's good, that's good. I thought I was going to fail on my first mission... eh?!" Suddenly, she calmed down a little and seemed to have grasped some information from the other party's previous words. "You, you said... 'my school'... you..." This made her realize something immediately. Her expression froze instantly. She stared at the old man in shock and said hesitantly in a trembling voice: "You, you are... the leader... of this school?" "Ah……" The old man leaned on the broom with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled in his throat. On the ordinary, unmemorable face, a confident smile with some emotion appeared: "To be precise, the principal of this school." Chapter 254 Principal Luo Meng "Principal?!" The one who exclaimed was not Bernice, but Donna who had been stunned for a long time. Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the old man, who she had met once before and whose clothes and behavior were exactly like the cleaner, and she shouted in a very exaggerated tone: "You, you are...Principal Luo Meng?!"
The cleaning lady looked at her kindly and nodded with a smile: "Exactly." "Wait, you are Luo Meng, the, the...metallurgist...?!" Bernice's heart was suddenly filled with fear, and her body tensed up involuntarily. She had been hiding and wandering around the campus for so long that even if she didn't try to find out more, she could still get some information about the school from the fragments of conversation between students and teachers.
