After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Later, after spending some time with Selena, he found that he seemed not what he thought.

He realized that he just... wanted to have the power to protect the people important to him.

So he bought Selena, so he did everything he could to save his brother.

He wanted to protect them.

He wants to protect the important people.

Wood and Selena, they are important people, there is no doubt about that.

In his previous life, he failed to protect the brother and sister, and not just them - he also failed to protect Old Jed, Aunt Kelly, and the monsters.

But it doesn't matter, he is reborn now.

Maybe it was a deal with the devil, but that doesn't matter.

Although there was a period of confusion at first.

But later, he did protect those who died because of him in their previous life.

According to the promise he made to himself, he did protect the people important to him.

It should be like this... According to the direction of the story, shouldn't it be like this?

If this continues, he will always protect them and prevent them from getting hurt.

Yes, shouldn’t it be like this?

But why?

why.

Will he lose someone important to him again?

Chapter 114: The Unconscious Wood

A figure was running around in the slums, threatening the people around him again and again, trying to get some useful words out of their mouths.

Murphy has experienced this countless times.

Finally, I met Wood again when the dark red sunlight gradually disappeared in the west.

The location is a dark hut in the slums where no sunlight can be seen.

That should be a base of the organization.

Murphy didn't know the exact location of this place. It was a rat in the organization who was on the lookout who saw Murphy running anxiously on the street and brought him here.

In this dark hut, Murphy saw Wood lying on the bed.

As soon as he saw it for the first time, Murphy wanted to turn his head away.

But he held back, forcing himself to keep his eyes on Wood's body.

...It's too much.

There was no doubt that the huge body was Wood.

However, this body was covered with wounds deep enough to ooze blood, and it was even difficult to find a place without wounds.

Murphy heard a gasp.

I don’t know if it’s mine or that mouse B’s.

While he was running, he was also constantly going to various strongholds to look for companions, but to no avail.

Because now, everyone is in this cabin.

They looked extremely disheveled, their clothes tattered—not because they were worn out, but simply because they were torn by sharp blades.

You can tell by the blood on the seam and the wound that is about to heal under the clothes.

Everyone present was injured, except Murphy and Mouse B, but they also looked quite disheveled after running around all afternoon.

The most seriously injured among those was Wood, who was lying in bed.

Murphy only took one look at the scars and understood everything.

That was not a wound left to kill someone. He knew very well that it was a method...similar to killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

These wounds are only to prevent the injured person from dying, and of course, they will not make him feel relieved.

The wounds left on Wood were simply to make him feel pain.

Murphy saw several marks left by the beating.

I'm afraid he was beaten by several people around him, and was stabbed by other people with knives from time to time - that's about the situation.

Murphy just thought about it for a moment, and this picture appeared in her mind.

Although these wounds will not cause death, the blood that flows out is real.

As a result, Wood, who lost too much blood, has not woken up yet.

It was very quiet all around, no one spoke, and no one even dared to breathe loudly.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Murphy also exhaled slowly and carefully.

Then he lowered his voice and said.

"...Where's Selena? No—and why did it turn out like this? What on earth happened during the days I was away?"

Murphy could feel his fingertips trembling slightly, so in order to calm himself down a little, he took a few deep breaths.

"Excuse me, can anyone tell me? Hmm?" Murphy said this in a voice as emotionless as possible while standing beside the bed.

however.

The few remaining mice around lowered their heads, not knowing whether they were sad about their current situation or frightened by the low pressure emanating from Murphy. Each of their lips was trembling.

They had something in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud... Murphy turned her head, glanced at them, and found something unusual about them.

Looking at the cowardly behavior of this group of people, Murphy's eyes twitched, and the violent emotions in his heart began to surge.

As if sensing his extremely bad mood, the mice around him dared not make any sound and lowered their heads even lower.

But not long after, they heard the sound of a few deep breaths again.

Then, at the moment the breathing sound disappeared, the terrifying atmosphere suddenly disappeared unexpectedly.

"Wood, there shouldn't be any danger to his life, right?"

This is the friendly voice that the mice in the royal capital have often heard recently, and it is also the way Murphy used to speak to mice when she was with Lars.

In other words, just now, Murphy had suppressed the bad emotions in his heart and returned to his normal self.

Although it is only temporarily suppressed and not completely eliminated, it is enough for the people around.

After hearing the sound, two brave people quietly raised their heads and looked at Murphy.

He was looking at the people around him. They still had the same familiar look as before, but the terrifying atmosphere around them was no longer there.

The two people raised their heads and turned to look at each other, and they saw something in each other's eyes.

One of the two seemed to have finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said to Murphy in front of him, "Although Brother Wood was already seriously injured when we found him, we secretly asked a doctor to come and treat him, so..."

He didn't finish, but Murphy certainly knew what he meant. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done."

Murphy did not question why they did not go to the city to find a divine magician, because this question was too stupid. How could people in the slums be qualified to receive treatment from the divine magician in the royal capital?

There was no need to question them. They had done a very good job by remembering to find someone to treat him in such a sudden situation. So as long as Wood was not in danger now, there was no problem.

Moreover, there are still many questions in my heart that need to be answered.

"Where's Selena? Do you know where she is?"

Although after the previous person answered Murphy's question, many people around have raised their heads again.

But after Murphy asked this question, some of them lowered their heads again, while the rest still raised their heads, and their expressions were not very good.

This is... not good news.

Murphy felt as if her heart had stopped beating, but not yet.

Selena hasn't been found yet, so it's not possible now.

"Why are you the only ones here now? Where are the others?"

Murphy raised a new question again. The organization has considerable influence in the slums of the royal capital. Although it is far less powerful than Helena, the mistress of the slums, there are definitely more than just a few of them.

But there are only a few people here now, and the rat who was responsible for sending himself to Leinburg before has also gone to other strongholds to look for it, but still found nothing.

Murphy discovered this anomaly and brought it up.

Chapter 115 Morrison

"Why are you the only ones here now? Where are the others?"

Murphy asked a new question, and after hearing this question, the people around him trembled even more violently.

Some of them even had tears in their eyes.

Murphy felt even colder when she saw this scene.

He even had the illusion that he had been frozen by some kind of freezing magic.

Otherwise, why were his limbs so stiff that he couldn't move them? His blood seemed to have solidified.

Although the darkness in his heart was almost impossible to suppress, Murphy still controlled himself at all times, trying not to let his negative emotions show.

It can be said that everyone here has lost their backbone, and he cannot show weakness.

"They...many of them...suddenly disappeared."

This time, someone answered Murphy before he could ask a new question.

The person who spoke these words tremblingly was still the one who answered the question before.

He seemed to be the most senior one in the group, so the task of answering Murphy's questions fell entirely on him.

Murphy turned her head when she heard the sound, frowned, and asked, "Disappeared?"

The man nodded, a look of fear on his face: "Yes... they disappeared suddenly, and we didn't notice anything."

How could people just disappear out of thin air? And in a slum where a part of the area was controlled by the organization?

Murphy's heart became more and more confused, so he hurriedly asked: "What exactly is going on?"

The man considered his words carefully before saying, "Brother Murphy, I...my name is Morrison, and I'm the leader of Group 9. We...are the people in Group 9 who are here right now. In the organization, we're responsible for organizing information and reporting it to Big Sister Selena."

Murphy actually knew about some of Selena's arrangements in the royal capital.

For example, Selena would divide the people in the royal capital into several groups, letting each group live and eat together and be responsible for the same area.

As for reporting the news...generally, each group would send someone to report the collected information to their own confidants, and then the confidants would report it to him.

And that confidant should be Morrison, the one in front of us.

Murphy had seen this name before, on the three pieces of paper that Selena had given him before, it seemed to be a reporter.

After seeing Murphy nod, the team leader named Morrison sniffed and continued:

"Our entire group exists solely to organize information. Normally, the other groups would hand over the information they collected to us, and then we would organize it and report it to the leader."

"Generally speaking, if it's not an emergency, they will first gather the information themselves and then hand it over to us on a specific reporting day. Even if they don't have any intelligence, they still have to send someone over."

"But five days ago, on the day we had our regular communication with them, our base didn't receive any information from the people at the meeting place. After noticing something was amiss, I immediately sent someone to secretly visit the meeting place."

"But the people we placed there disappeared, and there were no people from other groups there. There were eight groups, and not a single person."

"After receiving this news, I immediately sent someone to secretly visit the base of another group, but...but after returning from there, my men told me that there was no one there anymore."

"At first I didn't believe it. I thought he was joking, but when I thought about it carefully, I knew he couldn't be joking about such a thing. To confirm the truth, I went there myself, but——"

Morrison paused at this point, then revealed a horrified expression and said:

"But when I got there, I found out that they had really disappeared. There was really no one left."

"And the stronghold is in a complete mess. I found traces of a fight and some blood. I suspect... I suspect they've been—"

Morrison paused abruptly, but although he didn't finish his words, Murphy certainly knew what the rest of his sentence was.

And you can tell from his expression that he is not lying, that fear is not pretended.

It seems that this incident has had a huge impact on him. After all, logically speaking, those strongholds that should have had a lot of people suddenly became a dead zone. No one could bear it.　

But Murphy always felt that something was wrong, there were too many doubts.
