Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
This feeling... it was exactly the same as when he woke up on Furina's bed last night...
He felt a slight stinging pain in his left palm.
Lifting it up to take a look, sure enough, there were words engraved on it:
[Be careful! You've died again!]
[Neuvillette has also been corrupted by the Eerie!]
[After gaining Neuvillette's trust, pay close attention to the weather!]
[The moment you sense it's about to rain—don't hesitate, don't look back, just run!]
By now, Su Yuan had complete faith in the messages appearing on his left palm.
Combined with that strange sensation just now, he was fairly certain—he really had died once...
And, he probably figured out his cheat ability after transmigrating—
It was most likely some kind of save point and respawn ability.
While he wouldn't retain his past memories, messages would appear on his left palm as guidance...
As long as he followed these instructions, he should be fine...
Judging by the situation, it seemed that he had successfully survived Furina's bed challenge last night.
And now, Neuvillette's office was very likely his new save point!
"Every year, there are always a few people who attempt to trespass into Lady Furina's suite, but the number of successful ones is extremely low..."
Neuvillette sat at his desk, looking at Su Yuan as he spoke slowly.
(No more wasting words! Reread Ch 5 for detail ! Skip this section at high speed!)
"Alright, I believe you."
After hearing Su Yuan's explanation, Neuvillette nodded.
Su Yuan remained highly alert, keeping a close eye on the weather outside.
Suddenly, he noticed dark clouds gathering in the distance—clear signs that rain was imminent...
Without any hesitation, without saying another word, he turned around and ran!
"Su Yuan, what are you doing?" Neuvillette looked at Su Yuan's sudden actions with confusion and slowly stood up from his seat.
He had just decided to trust him, so why was he suddenly fleeing?
At the same time, Neuvillette also noticed the shift in the weather outside.
He realized that he still couldn't suppress his emotions—just hearing the names "Carole" and "Vautrin" had stirred sadness within him once again...
As the clouds blanketed the sky and the first raindrop fell, Neuvillette was struck by a sinister realization—deep within his mind and soul, an uncontrollable, malevolent thought was stirring, growing, writhing, corrupting, and running rampant...
"Oh, lowly mortal... where do you think you're going?"
Neuvillette suddenly tilted his head at an unnatural angle, his lips curling into an eerie and twisted smile as he let out a low, chilling laugh, his gaze fixed in the direction Su Yuan had fled...
Su Yuan burst through Neuvillette's office doors, bolting out in a panic.
His sudden exit drew the attention of many people working in the Palais Mermonia.
"Who is that guy running out of Neuvillette's office in such a panic?"
Su Yuan didn't dare look back.
He could already hear the raindrops pattering against the outer walls of the palace—meaning the rain was still falling, meaning it was not a clear day.
Meaning Neuvillette was no longer Neuvillette!
Unfamiliar with the layout of the Palais Mermonia, Su Yuan simply kept running forward.
Spotting a staircase leading downstairs, he rushed toward it without hesitation!
However, after descending only a few flights, he suddenly collided head-on with someone at the stairwell's turn.
The impact was so strong that both of them tumbled to the ground...
"Ugh... Oww, that hurts..." the person groaned, their hood knocked off from the collision.
The hood happened to land right in Su Yuan's hands.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm in a hurry—really, my deepest apologies!"
Su Yuan was dazed from the collision, but he kept apologizing.
However, as he listened to the voice and looked at the hood in his hands, something about it felt strangely familiar...
"Ah! How is it you? That pervert guy!"
"Weren't you taken away by Neuvillette?"
With a gasp, Su Yuan focused and realized he had bumped into Furina!
At the same time, he felt a pang of sadness.
Had he really been branded as a pervert in Furina's eyes?
"Lady Furina, I'm truly sorry, but I'm really in a rush. I'll have to leave now!" Without waiting to explain, Su Yuan quickly handed her the hood and tried to get up to make his escape.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate me!" Furina said firmly, grabbing onto Su Yuan's leg and tripping him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"What you saw this morning was just an accident! I'm a goddess of this country, and I'm very brave!"
"Guard team! Shadow Court! Law Enforcement Court! Neuvillette! Someone hurry up, there's a suspect trying to escape!" Furina shouted loudly.
"Lady Furina, please, just be quiet and stop shouting!"
Su Yuan felt like crying but had no tears left.
Lady Furina, why are you suddenly so brave now?
Perhaps because it was work hours, at Furina's call, the stairwell quickly filled with people.
Su Yuan realized he was truly trapped now...
Before long, with steady and heavy footsteps, an imposing figure slowly descended from the upper stairs...
Each step sounded to Su Yuan like the ringing of his death bell...
It's over, I'm going to die again...
"Neuvillette, you're finally here! How can you not even watch one person?!" Furina said, looking at Neuvillette as he walked down the stairs, a little confused.
She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Neuvillette now...
Neuvillette had always been very cultured and polite, and she had never seen him stomp so loudly while walking down the stairs...
"I apologize deeply, Lord Furina, this is my negligence."
"Neuvillette" spoke, then looked around at the crowd.
"Everyone, please, excuse me. I will handle the situation from here."
Upon hearing "Neuvillette" say this, the crowd began to disperse, leaving only Furina behind.
"Lord Furina, don't you have any activities today?"
"Never mind, this isn't something I should worry about. You can handle it yourself, Lord Furina."
"Neuvillette" said, then turned to Su Yuan and spoke in a tone that left no room for refusal:
"Su Yuan, come with me back to the office. Don't try anything funny, we still have things to discuss."
Su Yuan was a little surprised...
Huh? Could it be that he wasn't going to die now?
Is it that the Eerie can't kill someone in public?
But no matter what, Su Yuan, weak and helpless at this moment, had no choice but to obediently follow Neuvillette upstairs.
Furina watched their figures as they ascended the stairs, deep in thought.
"Lord Furina? Since when did Neuvillette call me like that? He's always called me 'Lady Furina,' hasn't he?"
"Also, didn't he recommend the Opera House performance to me today? Why does he seem like he doesn't know anything about it?"
Furina's mind was filled with doubts, and ultimately, she decided to follow them upstairs.
She planned to eavesdrop outside Neuvillette's office to hear what he and that 'pervert' were going to talk about.
