Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 666 Is this another new cycle?

The sound of shattering windows attracted the attention of Saint Charity and Lingge on the podium. They looked over at the same time and saw Metien standing in front of the broken stained glass window, standing on tiptoe and trying to look out; while Shemi, with a panicked look on his face, was waving his hands and feet beside her, saying something with gestures.

"What's going on?" Saint Xia Liya hurriedly walked down from the podium and asked, "What happened?"

Lingge didn't see Leticia sitting in the seat, and he immediately had some guesses in his mind.

"Teacher! Ah, Xiaoxia! I don't know what's wrong with Leticia. She suddenly flew out of the window!" Xie Mi used his hands and feet to hurriedly describe the cause and effect: "She was being lazy, and suddenly, she looked up and saw the moonlight, and her whole body suddenly became abnormal. She made a lot of noises, and then there were crackling and snapping sounds! She disappeared!"

It would be weird if you could understand this explanation.

Lingge and Saint Xia Liya came to the window together, first persuaded Metien who was doing dangerous actions to come back, and then they had the energy to observe the traces left at the scene.

Although the stained glass windows of Tianxin Church are not like those of famous cathedrals, which often occupy an entire wall, they are up to three meters high and about fifteen meters wide. Now, the middle window of this row of stained glass windows has been broken, and there are still some sharp glass fragments on the edge of the window frame, like crystal daggers inlaid on it. The extremely bright silver moonlight has been cut into pieces when it shines through the broken stained glass windows into the house. The scattered glass fragments on the floor are twisted into strange shapes and enchanting colors under the moonlight, which are quite similar to the religious murals describing gods and demons in the Middle Ages.

The moonlight seemed to be too bright. Ling'er's face changed slightly. He looked up at the night sky and found that the silver moon hidden behind the clouds had revealed its true face at some point and was casting its light on the ground. The perfect and bright ring-shaped outline was reflected in the deep blue night sky, like a large piece of silver jade inlaid on a glass mirror, so beautiful.

It is indeed a full moon.

Nevile had just left, and Leticia welcomed her full moon night. If we say this is a coincidence, isn't it too deliberate?
Lingge didn't have time to think carefully about the special meaning of it. He turned around and said to the people who were still in the church, "It seems that Leticia is looking for a place to reincarnate. We have to find her quickly. Metien, Shemi, you look in the direction of the hotel and tell everyone about this news so that they can help look for it. Saint Xia Liya, you look in the direction of the flower field. I will take care of the rest."

She was afraid of being seen by others in her weak and helpless state during reincarnation, including her grandmother, her good friends, other companions on Yunjingkong Island, and of course Lingge. And for some reason, when facing Lingge, this mentality was often more obvious, not only the degree of fear, but even a little... shame?
Why should I feel ashamed?

She is a vampire but is extremely afraid of moonlight. Just like her grandmother who doesn't like drinking blood but only likes drinking black tea, she is a heretic among the vampires.

Leticia behind the chimney did not come out, but said gloomily: "Then why don't you leave?"

So Lingge was the only one left in the church. Strangely, he did not go to other places to look for Leticia as he had planned. Instead, he stood there silently for a while before leaving the church. He walked about ten steps along the gate and stopped. He turned around and looked up at the roof.

"They've already left." Ling Ge said to the figure, "So you can come out now."

Although there would not be any danger on the Cloud Whale Sky Island, Leticia's mental state during reincarnation was worrying enough.

Standing at this position, you can take in the entire view of the church roof. At the same time, you can see a petite figure huddled behind the chimney, trying to reduce its presence, not wanting to be discovered by other people - or more precisely, not wanting to be discovered by the silver moonlight in the night sky.

"Okay!" Medien was very worried about his friend's situation, so he put on a stern face, nodded vigorously and agreed, then grabbed the still flailing Xie Mi and put him on his head, then trotted away in the direction of the hotel; Saint Xia Liya also comforted Ling Ge with a sentence "Don't worry, she must not have run far", then left Tianxin Church and went to the primrose field to look for Leticia.

The little girl grumbled in her heart, but she still followed her instinct and tried to drive Lingge away. But the young man was not irritated by her unhappy tone and obviously thorny attitude, but replied calmly: "I think I should leave if there is no task entrusted to me by Miss Nevi."

"It's okay." As the moonlight became brighter, Leticia's face seemed to become paler and paler. She almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth: "I'll tell grandma that you have completed the task..."

"That's not necessary." Linger shook his head: "I'm not Alice, I don't have the habit of lying." "Really? That's perfect."

Although beads of sweat were already dripping down her forehead, Leticia still managed a stubborn sneer: "Anyway, I don't want to... I don't want to lie to grandma."

Then you shouldn't have made the suggestion in the first place.

Lingge thought so but did not expose her. Leticia probably thought he was very tactful, so she snorted triumphantly, as if she had won the verbal battle.

After that, both of them fell silent, as if they had nothing to say.

As time passed, the night gradually darkened and the moonlight gradually brightened. When the silver moon above gradually reached the zenith, Leticia suddenly said, "Hey, Lingge."

Her clear voice echoed in the cold wind, and the quiet church seemed to come alive, endowed with some vivid imagery, becoming a pair of eyes, or a blink, of a girl, quietly staring at the young man in front of her: "Grandma is not on the island. I will lose my memory after reincarnation. If something goes wrong... I allow you to knock me out temporarily!"

When she said the last sentence, her tone rose slightly, filled with a kind of firmness and a little pride that she herself could not detect. Perhaps she felt that she had made great efforts and could say such a sacrificial word to Lingge. He would definitely be moved to tears, right?

However, the young man simply glanced at her and rejected the proposal: "I refuse."

"Why!?"

"Do you think I have this ability?"

"..."

As a pure-blooded vampire, Leticia's combat power is roughly equivalent to Sequence 7 among human magicians, and equivalent to Sequence 6 when she bursts out with all her strength. Ling'er is just a small Sequence 9, and he didn't even drink the promotion potion prepared for him by Saint Shallia. The magic he learned was all auxiliary, and his actual combat power was very weak.

Leticia looked at the young man below with disdain: "Lingge, you are so weak and useless."

The young man did not comment. He was about to remind Leticia to take care of herself first, when he suddenly heard a low groan from above his head, mixed with a suppressed cry of pain. He raised his head suddenly and saw the petite figure behind the chimney curled up in pain, huddled in the shadows, holding her heart tightly with both hands, breathing rapidly, and her face pale.

At this moment, the young man's vision miraculously penetrated the darkness. He saw the face that was constantly oozing with cold sweat, her pupils dilated to the extreme because she had witnessed something strange and terrifying happening, her throat struggling to move to swallow her own screams and groans, and her snow-white teeth trembling up and down as if exposed in the snow, making a crackling sound.

Then he realized it instantly.

The cycle begins again.
