I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 83 Latiya’s Backyard
  Deep in the core area of ​​[Academy], there is no confidential experimental area or patrolling guards. There is only an elegant white building located here.

If you look down from the air, it looks like an elegant geometric pattern, and the perfect left and right mirroring is amazing. This symmetry is not only reflected in the outline of the building, but also in the windows, balconies and even the carvings of the details on each floor.

Under the illumination of the artificial sun, the shadow of the building extends on the ground, and the left and right sides seem to be two giants facing each other. The sight is shocking and strangely profound.

Inside the building, each door is the same size and shape, and even the handles on the doors are in the same position.

Although this was not the first time she walked in here, Qiong Ying still felt confused.

This is the residence of Latiya and the place where all the previous deans have lived.

Qiong Ying was picked up by the dean since she was a child, but she didn't come here many times. I only know that Latiya repeatedly refused the help of [college] senior officials who wanted to equip their residence with guards.

There seems to be no secrets hidden here. Latiya has always been very calm and seems to just like to live alone and doesn't want to be disturbed.

After Qiong Ying showed her extra potential in supernatural powers, Latiya seemed to realize a little bit that she had not cared about her students before.

So, she brought Qiong Ying to her residence to express her closeness.

Although Qiong Ying didn't know what to do here.

She was sitting in the living room drinking tea, while Latiya was reading quietly next to her.

This time, Sean didn't need to remind her, and there was no wave on Qiong Ying's downcast face.

Latiya seemed to feel that being able to sit next to her and drink tea was considered a recognition and a gift.

Qiong Ying felt ridiculous when she remembered that she had been proud of this before.

She never cared about me...she would only look at me if I showed enough value.

But this is obviously the case, but she is using it under the guise of emotion and loyalty...

As her thoughts flashed, Latiya suddenly stood up.

She seemed to have received some news. She frowned slightly and said to Qiong Ying: "I have to leave for a while. There is some information here. Didn't you like reading books before? Please read more here."

Qiong Ying stood up and nodded respectfully: "Okay, teacher."

Latiya left, Qiong Ying waited for a while and then looked at the books.

"The Possibility of Branching Development of Superpowers", "Advanced Elemental Control Abilities", "Prosthetics and Superpowers"...

They are considered first-hand information in [Academy] and are worth a lot of money outside.

However, after she reinstalled her Stanway Type III and showed her water powers, Sean sent her all the information she might need, and he said the same thing:

"If you're interested, just watch. If you're not interested, just eat and sleep."

Thinking of the other person's lazy and beautiful smile, the girl pursed her lips slightly.

After confirming that Latiya had left, Qiong Ying took a step forward.

She had memorized most of the terrain in her mind, and Sean had marked where she wanted to go.

Following the memory in her mind, she pretended that she just came out to relax and look at the decoration of the place, and then slowly approached the target point.

According to Sean, it's not an important location, so it should be easy to find the marker.

Passing through the corridor, what appeared in front of Qiong Ying was a yard full of flowers and plants.

Just like the style of the building, the flowers and plants here have even been specially cultivated. On both sides of the straight square paths, even the flowers and plants show strange symmetry.

Further inside, it should be the place where Latiya usually lives...

Qiong Ying said nothing, just watched her surroundings vigilantly, and walked onto the stone path.

The further you go, the taller the surrounding flowers, plants and trees become, and the symmetrical layout makes people dizzy.

After walking for a while, Qiong Ying glanced back subconsciously, and then she was shocked to find that the road she took when she came had unexpectedly turned into a straight bend.

She didn't even realize she had changed direction.

Maze... Qiong Ying took a deep breath, then turned around and continued walking forward. Maze, that means she has found the right place... Sean hopes that what she finds must be in it!

The girl's steps were careful and cautious, but she didn't notice that a shadow squirmed.

As she continued walking forward, she kept observing her surroundings, trying to find the marker, but gradually, at some point, there seemed to be no sound at all around her.

The flowers and plants have turned into towering trees, and every tree symmetrically placed on the roadside is swaying from side to side in a motionless and weird way.

"drop--"

Suddenly there was the sound of water dripping.

This sudden sound made Qiong Ying take half a step back subconsciously, and her chest rose violently.

The loneliness brought about by the smallness is frightening, and the depth ahead makes the hair stand on end.

Qiong Ying gasped fiercely for a few times, then gritted her teeth and headed towards the direction of the sound of water drops.

The water drops...are fountain statues...

That's the marker Sean asked me to find...

It must be there...

She unconsciously quickened her pace and then started running.

The sound brought by the steps seemed to awaken something. Behind Qiong Ying, the flowers and plants stopped shaking for an instant.

The rustling sound passed through the grass and flower petals, and then it was approaching quickly!

The woman's low sobs gradually amplified behind Qiong Ying, and she was horrified to find that the shadows around her had started running with her at some point.

And it is quickly overtaking her and spreading to the road ahead!

Qiong Ying gritted her teeth and sped up again. The Steinway III module was instantly loaded, and she rushed forward like an arrow from a string.

The shadows were accelerating, and the woman's sobs and gasps seemed to be on her back.

The violent breathing and hum of energy increased again. Qiong Ying gritted her teeth and almost used all her strength.

Finally, she saw the front, where there was a statue with hands with the [Academy] logo!

Arrived!

The sobs and gasps behind her became more harsh, and her heart was racing.

Suddenly activating the module, Qiong Ying tried her best to jump forward!
  Finally, she fell down in front of the statue.

The sobs and gasps disappeared, the shadow disappeared.

Qiong Ying gasped and glanced back. There was nothing on the stone road, and the huge flowers and plants were still swaying strangely and calmly.

There is indeed something wrong in Latiya's courtyard... What is hidden in it...

The girl wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, got up and looked at the statue in front of her.

It should be a woman, with energy veins outlined on one hand and a metal circuit board outlined on the other hand, just like the logo of the [Academy].

And where the hands met, a broken water bottle hung in the air.

The fluorescent water droplets fell down and fell into the fountain pool without ripples.

That's it... Qiong Ying's eyes flashed with joy.

She has to complete what Sean asked her to do!

　Recommended! The pk was successful! thank you all!
