From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

It is also the clear content of the transaction between the two parties.

Ella was also deceived.

Elle went on to explain:

"Asking why Morris is suspicious... it's very simple. All assassins need someone to help them tie a knot. This includes issuing a magical deadlock in the brain, issuing orders, and controlling the situation. However, the only ones who have appeared so far are the ones who are discarded and can be used at any time. There is still a key contact missing... and judging from all the actions, that person must have a deep understanding of this school. The possibility that that person is someone close to Morris is the greatest."

This explains why Ella was suspected...but Ella herself still has some doubts that she can't let go of.

Yes, it's still a little hard to explain.

It was the incident of "assassination of Professor Morris".

The person behind the scenes seemed unable to grasp Morris's whereabouts.

but--

"...That's probably a trick he used after realizing he was under suspicion." Ai'er continued, "He knew about our connection with Morris, and he wanted to clear himself of suspicion by giving up a pawn, so that we would make the wrong conclusion that 'the people around Morris are trustworthy', which would facilitate his next move. But I'm sorry... we were not fooled by this from the beginning."

Ai'er looked behind Ella, at the dark red gem that seemed to be blocking her view.

Ella took a cautious step forward.

Ai'er stopped and smiled faintly:

"This was your original purpose, right?"

Ai'er recalled: "The ultimate target that needs to be destroyed is the Zero-Generation Machine itself. The ultimate people who need to be assassinated are the Kingdom's high-ranking officials and the Imperial Minister who are about to visit. The two countries have been negotiating for a long time, and this action is bound to turn their upcoming alliance into ashes. Therefore, we have no choice but to choose this time."

"The people in charge of the Zero Generation Machine include Morris, Emerson, Pullman, Bridges and a bunch of other professors. But after your assassination, Morris is the only one who can show up. As a result, all the authority over the Zero Generation Machine held by those professors has been transferred to Morris."

Ai'er narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to see through all the lines in the gemstone:

"What you have in your hand is the magic circuit that Morris collected. Use it as a disguise for identity authentication, and then you will have the control of the central control. Although I don't know what actions you will take next, or what measures you will use to cause a big explosion here... But I think with the authority, the next things will be much simpler."

To achieve the goal of seizing permissions, the key technology lies in "how to capture Morris's magic circuit and inject fake identity information through information modification."

Ai'er knew that human technology in this area was almost blank.

Ai'er once again deeply understood that everything that had happened so far was not a struggle between humans.

It is a competition among superior races.

Ella bent down slightly.

"...Ms. Elle. So, are you here to stop me?"

"Of course." Ai'er said, "After all, it's a 'deal'."

The deal between Al and Morris ends here.

"Ms. Elle, you are really perceptive. But it is too much for Miss Elle to think that unlocking the central control will be the end of everything."

"It doesn't matter... I have no interest in your next actions."

"No, it's better to say that unlocking the central control is just a precaution..."

Ella suddenly raised her voice: "But if Miss El wants to stop me...it will take some skills!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ella rushed towards Elle.

There was a mysterious halo surrounding her hands, and she was about to release the attack that she had prepared long ago!

Ai'er turned her body slightly and easily dodged the attack.

However, the halo in the opponent's hand was getting bigger and bigger... It seemed that he hoped to perish together with Ai'er here.

Ai'er sighed slightly in her heart.

The magical blade hidden in the hand behind the back emerged and pierced into the woman's body from the back.

The blade had no substance, it just covered half of Ella's body.

Ella staggered and fell to the ground.

Even the magic ring frame that contained immense power shattered.

"Wow——"

Ella's mouth spurted blood and her body fell to the ground with a thud.

"Obviously... still a little bit short..."

Ai'er could hear her unwilling murmurs.

She slowly walked towards the fallen Ella.

"Ms. Ella, give up." Elle lowered her body.

Ella's body was riddled with holes from the impact of the disordered magic circuits.

As the master controller, her brain did not cast any locking magic. However, with the circuit broken, she would soon lose consciousness due to the massive outflow of magic power.

All that remains is death.

Ella turned her head with difficulty and murmured:

"…We…ahem…we were all deceived…"

Ai'er saw that Ella seemed to be curling her lips at him, as if mocking something:

"Me too...you too..."

……

When Ella lost consciousness, Ai'er stood up.

The gem behind him emitted a red light and made a slight "tick-tock" sound.

The whole room changed color.

The central control has been unlocked.

Ai'er slowly walked to the control ring frame of the central control.

"Yes, we were all deceived..."

Ai'er's little hands kept manipulating it, using the permissions that Ella had helped unlock to browse the functions inside.

"I was also... I was deceived badly."

Elle thought back to the group of men she had just met.

After counting one by one, he still couldn't find the figure of Professor Bridges as he thought he should be.

As if getting the desired result, Ai'er moved her hand away from the center console and walked out the door.

"Next, it's my turn."

138. First appearance in the competition

"Next, we will announce the list of people who will advance to the individual competition!"

The boy on the podium held the list in his hand, and below the stage was a group of students eagerly waiting.

The boy on the stage glanced at the paper briefly, then raised his head and shouted:

"Fourth grade, Harrington Baker!"

"Oh oh oh!" The team on the left burst into cheers.

"Fourth grade, Polly Moses!"

"……"silence.

"Fourth grade, Bronte Abner!"

"Oh oh oh!"

This time, it was the team on the right that burst into cheers.

Some people in the crowd raised their arms and waved to those around them, as if they were expressing their cordial condolences to the working people.

Some of them even held up signs saying "Advance to the meeting", just like the idol fan club that Ai'er had experienced in her previous life.

"Fourth grade, Mallory Marcus!"

"Third grade, Thomson!"

"Third grade, Keppel Channing!"

The names were read out one by one from the highest to the lowest. Most of the names received some cheers, but only a few were regarded as impurities and received a large silence.

Coco sat a little further away and looked at the crowded crowd in front.

It's just that her ears allow her to hear clearly enough at this distance.

Sharp sat next to Coco and said with some regret:

"As expected, I was eliminated after all... Coco-san, you have to cheer up on your own next time."

"Ah."

Coco nodded with her ears perked up.

The following competitions are all one-on-one actual combats, and the qualified students need to confirm their participation again to determine the final quota. Therefore, each contestant will know whether he or she has been selected before the list is announced.

It is actually a good thing that Sharp does not participate in such a dangerous battle.

"…Preparatory, Elle Valk!"

"Prep, Coco!"

"Preparatory course, An Ling!"

As expected, Sharp's name did not appear.

Only a small amount of discussion around it still leaked out.

"Valk? Could it be... that person... from the Duke's family..."

"Three people were selected for the preparatory course this time? I haven't heard of the last two names..."

"Coco? Did you hear that? There's a person named Coco!... The person who gave this name must be stupid!..."
