Chapter 345
The gathering didn't last too long. After all, they weren't familiar with each other.
Negri returned to his dormitory and prepared for his trip to the Grand Library at five in the morning.
The key to opening the library was a silent flame, a combustible such as charcoal. An open flame wouldn't meet the requirements.
He prepared the charcoal and adjusted his mental state to ensure that his mental state would allow him to enter the Grand Library. At the same time, he wouldn't reveal any flaws in his mind and allow other existences to discover his abnormality.
It was a quiet night in the Mobis Institute. It was as if the insects had fallen into a deep slumber. There weren't any strange noises.
Negri held a book in his hand and calmly read through the requirements of the spirit summoning ritual. Negri distinguished between the valuable parts and the pitfalls, diligently seizing every moment to improve himself.
Even though this bit of improvement couldn't compare to the power of his main body, this was Negri.
"Clang!"
The sound exploded in Negri's ears. Negri raised his head and looked at the window next to his desk.
For some reason, the window that was tightly shut was violently pushed open. The frame of the window was somewhat deformed and the latch was twisted into an 'L' shape. But strangely, the glass didn't shatter.
Negri looked at the pitch-black scene outside the window. There seemed to be a soundless fear wriggling there, as if something was creeping towards him.
At the same time, a nauseating stench of sewers appeared in Negri's nostrils.
"Swoosh, swoosh …"
The sound of something in mucus being pulled and rubbed against each other echoed. The thing in the darkness was about to pounce at him. This premonition was very clear.
And so, Negri picked up a bottle from his pocket and pried open the cap with his thumb. He infused some of the mana he obtained from the corpse oil into the bottle and sprinkled out a large amount of white crystalline powder.
"Sizzle …"
It was as if a juicy steak was placed on a scorching hot iron plate, the fat sizzling.
The shadow outside the window flashed by, making such a sound, leaving behind a foul stench, and disappeared just like that.
'Negary 'glanced at the bottle in his hand. There was still a bit of white powder inside, which consisted of salt and some plant powder. In Mysticism, salt represented purification, which had the effect of dispelling evil and impurity.
"Because of my strange behavior, they think I'm the biggest threat, so they came to deal with me first?" Walking to the window, Negri only saw some foul-smelling mucus.
"It didn't cause more serious damage?" 'Negary 'observed the situation outside. Originally, when he saw the mucus, he had assumed that the enemy was some sort of soft-bodied lifeform such as a slug or a leech. If that was the case, the combination of the salt and the plant powder he concocted, as well as the catalysis of mana would be more than enough to make that guy half-dead, or even kill him on the spot.
Although this thing secreted mucus and was indeed an unclean creature, it was different from what Negri had expected. That thing was not a soft-bodied creature, so the effect was much weaker. At most, it would be scared away, but it would not cause any substantial damage.
"At least it will give me peace for a while." Negri did not care too much about this. He was using a mortal body, after all, so some mistakes were inevitable.
But after eliminating some wrong answers, the identity of the owner of the stench was clear. The next time they met, he would suffer.
"It's about time. I should go." Negri looked at the pocket watch he prepared. It was already three in the morning. He had to go to the library to prepare some things, so he had to go early.
When he opened the door, Negri saw the blonde woman named Nox. She was carrying a small bag, her clothes were messy, and her hair was messy. Her eye makeup was a little off, and it fell on her rosy cheeks, making her look a little flirtatious.
She stood in the dim corridor, and something seemed to be spreading behind her. Her body smelled of alcohol and a strong smell of photinia. At the same time, there was some messy magic flowing around her body.
Nox obviously didn't think that there would be someone going out at 3 AM in the morning, so she froze a bit as she saw 'Negary', then smiled, greeted 'Negary', opened the door to her room, and slipped inside.
"Tsk … Obtaining magic through this method?" Negri did not intend to judge Nox. Everyone had their own choices, but obtaining magic through this method would only make her more and more deformed.
The Mystic Demonesses were a type of Mystic organization that Negary once knew. They believed that humans themselves had mana, which meant that they were lifeforms filled with miracles. As long as they could extract this lifeform's mana, they would be able to obtain mana.
These people developed a series of methods to obtain magic power through life. Among them, there were two most famous methods. One was using fetuses. They used newborn fetuses as raw materials for magic power and used their flesh and blood on themselves through various methods, such as cosmetics, food, and so on.
The other widely known method was pregnancy magic. Those who practiced this method would often appear in all kinds of balls and become the focus of men. They were exceptionally beautiful and could easily attract the attention of the opposite sex.
This kind of ball or what happened at the ball would be considered by them as a kind of ritual, a fetus selection ritual. After that, they would become pregnant within an hour. After confirming that they were pregnant, they would digest the fetus and turn it into their own magic source.
At first, 'Negary' had assumed that this Nox was only using a few related cosmetics, but after undergoing the ritual, the slight surge of mana around her, as well as the slight abnormalities triggered by the ritual, 'Negary' was certain that Nox was a member of the Mystic Demonesses.
It could be said that as long as a woman broke through their psychological barriers, this was the fastest way to obtain magic. However, this method was abnormal. If Nox continued like this, she would encounter stranger and stranger things.
The magic she accumulated through this method, regardless of whether she used it or left it in her body, would leave traces on her body. These traces would cause her body and soul to mutate until her mind collapsed and she became a mindless object.
"Of course, what I'm curious about is why she returned to the dormitory." Negri did not care about a woman who had gone down the wrong path. What he cared about was this illogical matter.
A person like Nox had already broken through her bottom line as a woman. She would not care about the rules of the academy, nor would she have any attachment towards this dormitory that she had just moved into.
"That includes me. Whenever I have no purpose, I will choose to return to the dormitory." Negri suddenly discovered an anomaly. Without a doubt, this was the interference of the mastermind behind the Mobis Institute's anomaly.
