Chapter 988 A dream?

In the dark and eerie basement, surrounded by a group of Valkyries, the Saint of Kaslana was kneeling on the ground, while another girl was waving a spear, and the tip of the spear stopped less than a centimeter above the former's head at the last moment.

"...?"

Except for Victor, who was crouching in the distance with his head in his hands and making noises out of fear, Kallen, who had her eyes closed, could not hear any sound.

Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Eleanor, who looked confused, and the Valkyrie team members behind her who were also looking at the two people fighting with swords in confusion.

Then Eleanor frowned and retracted her weapon, and the Valkyries behind her also came over to stop the fight belatedly.

"Captain, why did you fight with Eleanor?"

"Eleanor, you too, are you crazy? You actually pointed your weapon at Captain Kallen. Aren't you afraid of being kicked out of the team afterwards?!"

"Captain Kallen, are you okay?"

"?"

Kallen stood up in bewilderment, watching the team members who were watching indifferently suddenly show concern for her. Eleanor also stood aside in confusion, as if...did they suddenly lose their memory of the past few minutes? Or was her memory confused?

But I was still wearing this suspicious outfit, but they all turned a blind eye...

Kallen looked back, but she could not see the tied girls. Except for a frightened Victor, even the crosses and chains had disappeared completely!

"what on earth is it?"

Kallen stared blankly, feeling as if something was missing in her head. She suddenly turned her head to look at a wall. It was the place where Yaeli and Otto had been hiding before, but now they had already left the basement and came to the top floor of the mansion to get some fresh air.

"……Thanks."

Otto looked at the profile of the person next to him, which looked sacred under the moonlight. He knew that the other party had made a move after all.

"Don't thank me. I don't want to see two friends turn against each other because of something like this."

Yae Li could still hear the noise coming from the basement. Now Kallen was grabbing Victor by the collar and asking him about the whereabouts of those girls, but Victor, whose memory had been changed, had no idea. He could only shake his head with snot and tears, fearing that this inexplicably angry old lady would beat him up and disfigure him.

"Where are the children?" Otto asked.

"It's still there, but it's hidden, by deceiving the vision."

“…Is this the power of the Herrscher?”

"It seems that the knowledge you have obtained is not comprehensive. I can only say that the abilities of Herrschers are varied and each has its own characteristics. As for the specifics... you can study them slowly on your own."

"..."

"By the way, send those girls home afterwards, including the girl who awakened the stigmata... If you want to continue your research, you can, but if you are discovered by Kallen again, I will not save you."

"it is good."

Otto agreed to give up the research temporarily. Although it was a pity and he might be held accountable by the bishop afterwards, he was willing to pay this price in order to preserve Kallen's friendship.

"You can't lie to Karin forever. I hope you can do better before she finds out next time...better enough that she, with her overflowing sense of justice, can barely accept the evil hidden in it."

"Well, I will."

Yaeri smiled and prepared to leave, but Otto called him again.

"Li, have you really lived for 50,000 years?"

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"

"…This thing in my hand is saying something bad about you."

"Ah, so it is. I guessed it. Xukong Wanzang deserves a beating. Don't spoil him."

"understood."

Otto smiled. He felt it was amazing that the pink-haired boy in front of him could still maintain an interest in the things of this world, even though he was a "person" with a legendary experience and a long life. At least Otto was completely convinced that Yae Ri was not the demon that Kong Kong Wan Zang said would destroy everything in the world.

……

In the following days, Karin was always worried, but she was not as depressed and worried as before, but simply because her brain was not enough.

After she was forcibly sent home by her teammates that night, she went to the flower shop early the next morning to secretly visit the mother and daughter. She found that Sasha was still there, and was very happy to accompany her mother to receive more and more distinguished customers than ever before.

Kallen was confused and really doubted her memory, even to the point of psychological doubt. Then she thought of Yae Ri who disappeared halfway, and went to ask about his whereabouts and why he didn't catch up.

Considering the other party's previous magical methods, Kallen thought that it was Yaeri who did something secretly.

But when she saw the pink-haired boy blinking innocently, Kallen's doubts dissipated a lot.

Indeed, there was no need for Ri to act secretly at that time. He did not have an affair with Apocalis. On the contrary, Yae Ri had a bad relationship with that family, and except Otto, not many family members liked him.

As for Otto…Karen had asked him about it, but he acted like he had no idea. After learning about what happened, he immediately arranged for someone to go and thoroughly check Victor's house. His attitude was positive. Although Karen's intuition told her that there was something strange, she still believed her friend in the end.

Eleanor, who hurt Kallen that night, came to apologize afterwards. Even though she couldn't stand this naive young lady, Eleanor was not the type to be stubborn. She believed that she had done something wrong, even if she had no idea of ​​the cause and effect of the fight with Kallen.

"Captain, where did you buy the clothes you wore that night? They look pretty nice." A team member was attracted by the design of Kallen's Phantom Thief costume and wanted to buy one too.

"Ah, this... is the clothing store that Otto helped introduce to me." Karin said hesitantly, also worried that this set of clothes would arouse suspicion from her teammates again.

The purple thief... It was as if the teammates had completely forgotten about the previous thief incident. Not only did they forget the characteristic of "purple", they even stopped investigating the case.

Until Karen asked about it, several team members looked at her with confusion, saying, "Captain, are you confused in your sleep? That case has been closed a long time ago?" and then talked about other things.

"It's Master Otto... Never mind. In our team, I'm afraid you, Captain Karen, are the only one who can enjoy his care~" The team member who asked about the clothing was a little disappointed and stuck out his tongue. He didn't dare to hope to enjoy the same treatment provided by Master Otto as Captain Karen.

"What did you say?!"

Kallen didn't react much, but Eleanor was so angry that she gritted her teeth and glared at the team member fiercely, scaring the other party so much that he just acted like an ostrich.

"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel..."

Kallen watched as her teammates became happy again, and the strange expressions on everyone's faces that night seemed like just a dream.

Hmm... I hope this is really just a dream of mine.
