Raising Octopus Juvenile - Chapter 43

Except for Stella, everyone’s expressions are not very good.

Stella hadn’t realized what Bode meant, she was looking around boredly, trying to find another undead to relieve her greed. Until Arnold said heavily, “Your Excellency, you mean, that monster’s target is Cecil from beginning to end?”——

Stella’s attention was finally drawn.

“What? The target is Little Cecil? Who else wants to eat Little Cecil?” She interrupted nervously.

As soon as these words came out, Cecil, Arnold, and Bode all turned their eyes to her.

“…What is’who else’?” Arnold looked at her badly, and said word by word, “Mrs. Stella, can you please tell me, besides Keane… is there anyone else?”

Stella: “…”

No, I missed it.

She laughed dryly, and the words she said were a little lacking in confidence: “Of course it is the other men who are staring at me… You see, little Cecil is so cute, there will always be some stinky men who want to eat her. Yes, like this one in front of us…”

As she spoke, she raised her slender finger, pointed at the innocent Bode, and transferred the fuse to him.

Bode: “…”

Arnold: “…”

Bode had a black face: “You don’t want to talk nonsense, and I don’t eat people, how can you look at Cecil?”

Arnold looked at him with unpredictable eyes: “Your Excellency, I am also very puzzled about this. You have always declared that you will not accept apprentices. Why does the Independence Society make an exception for Cecil?”

this problem……

Bod is very embarrassed, Bod doesn’t know what to say.

I can’t tell the other person directly, because I’m a white-haired guy, and I like crazy people with abnormal brains, and your sister just fits these two points perfectly, so I lose my principle when I see her-it’s too bad. , Isn’t this the equivalent of exposing one’s sexual addiction to the public?

“Because I can tell at a glance that she has a rare talent in black magic, a genius once in a hundred years.” In the end, Bode could only give this answer pretendingly.

Cecil agreed: “This is true, I am indeed a genius.”

Bode: “…”

“It turned out to be so.” Arnold didn’t question the explanation as before, but instead nodded and said proudly, “My sister is indeed very smart since she was a child. Your Excellency is so insightful.”

Bode: “…”

You siblings should be a little humble!

Temporarily fooling around with this question, Bode cleared his throat and continued with the topic just now: “Since we now know that Keane’s target is Cecil, the next thing that needs to be clarified is why he eats Cecil. ?”

Hearing this, Cecil glanced at Stella calmly. Stella avoided her pointed gaze, frowned like a okay person, and joined the discussion solemnly.

“Because he likes to eat people?”

Arnold shook his head: “Impossible, he is a human…”

Having said that, he suddenly stopped.

Cecil turned to look at him: “Brother, do you think of something?”

Arnold’s brows tightened slowly, and his voice gradually lowered: “I’m thinking…is this Keane really a human?”

The air suddenly quieted down.

Indeed, this problem, before this, seems to have never been noticed. But think about it carefully, can human beings become like that?

“Kean had disappeared before, and then after a while, he came back by himself.” Arnold whispered, “Where did he come back from, how did he come back, and what he experienced during the time before he came back. People are suspicious.”

Cecil added: “And since he came back, the whole person has become very strange. I don’t know if others have noticed. Anyway, every time I see him after he comes back, I feel that he is missing a bit of life. The breath and the look in the eyes are also very wrong, like a swollen dead fish…”

Bode pondered slightly: “This is indeed very suspicious. Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm whether he is a human or not, otherwise, a new breakthrough might be found…”

“There is still a way.” Arnold interrupted him suddenly.

Bode raised his eyes and glanced at him curiously: “Oh? What else can I do?”

Arnold: “The people who disappeared with Keane at the time were also a few civilians living in slums. They also came back with Keane. Perhaps a breakthrough could be found in them.”

This is indeed a good way. only……

“The premise is that they haven’t had an accident yet.” Bode said meaningfully.

Arnold reacted immediately.

If those people are in the same situation as Keane, will they also become that ugly and terrifying monster now? If this is the case, then the people living nearby are in danger.

Arnold got up immediately, he bent over and touched Cecil’s hair, his eyes gentle and serious:

“I will summon the Knights to rush to the slum, Cecil, you should stay here with Lord Bode first and don’t leave. I will come back to pick you up when I finish dealing with things over there.”

Cecil was a little worried: “Huh? Are you going now? But it might be dangerous there…”

“Don’t worry, that kind of enemy is nothing to me.”

Arnold’s steady and gentle tone was reassuring. He stretched out his thumb and stroked Cecil’s soft and white cheeks lightly, moving naturally and affectionately, “Be obedient, you stay here until I come back. Never go out, okay?”

His eyes were earnest and serious, and he could see that he was really afraid of Cecil running around.

Cecil pursed his lower lip, then nodded obediently, and said softly, “Then you have to be careful.”

Arnold smiled softly and raised his eyes to look at Bode: “Your Excellency, Cecil will trouble you.”

Bode nodded casually, without saying much.

There are no monsters that he can’t deal with. Cecil staying by his side means absolute safety.

Arnold left, and only Cecil, Bode and Stella remained in the dim black tower.

Cecil took a look at Bode, who was lazy, and slowly said, “Did you deliberately take your brother away?”

Bode supported his chin with one hand, and his gray eyes curled slightly from his messy forehead: “Did you see it?”

Cecil bends the corners of his mouth with a smile, then stands up unhurriedly, walks behind Stella who is yawning boredly, and pushes her to Bode.

“Here, look, this is the beautiful devil lady.” She emphasized the word “Miss”, with a hint of teasing in her relaxed and soft voice.

After all, Stella now looks like a beautiful man with a gorgeous face.

When Stella heard the words, he glanced at her ambiguously. There were wisps of warmth in those beautiful purple eyes that were as clear as jewels, and just one glance made them dry.

“Am I young lady, don’t you know everything, master?”

When she speaks of “Master”, her tail is slender and long, like a smooth little tail. Cecil looked at her blankly, as if looking at a mentally retarded person.

“That’s it, this demon always looks dissatisfied.” She turned her head and said solemnly to Bode, “It seems that my father can’t satisfy her, it’s so pathetic.”

Stella: “…”

Bode looked at her incomprehensibly and said, “Is she a male or a female, why can’t I tell?”

Cecil: “It’s asexual.”

“What?” Bode was shocked, his expression suddenly became tense, “then she is not a man or a woman?”

Cecil nodded: “Theoretically, this is true.”

“Then you still stay with her?” Bode was almost crazy, “It’s too dangerous, stay away from this kind of guy!”

Cecil: “…”

She really didn’t understand what this person was nervous about. Stella is already her indentured servant, there is no safer existence than her, something must be said, now a certain little octopus lying on her skirt is much more dangerous than Stella.

——In various senses.

Cecil suddenly remembered the almost intense kiss, and the ears suddenly became hot again.

“What’s the matter with you?” Bode noticed that she was not talking suddenly, and he leaned forward suspiciously and asked in a low voice, “Isn’t it something that has happened?”

“…How could it be possible.” Cecil pushed him away angrily. “Hurry up and talk about business. I have to go back tonight.”

Bode finally remembered their “business”.

He stood up and looked at Stella carefully, his eyes seemed to penetrate his body. Stella was uncomfortable when he looked at him, and he couldn’t help but say, “What are you going to do?”

“Cecile said, you want to eat her too.” Bode said unhurriedly, “what are you doing?”

“Because she emits a very attractive smell, and my sense of smell is very sensitive.” Stella replied very skillfully, with a plain and ordinary tone, as if she was just talking about today’s weather.

She had guessed that the person who taught Cecil to use that nasty master-servant contract was the tired-looking man in front of him.

His compulsory master-servant contract is very special. The contract stores the magic power of the controller, not the magic power of the user, which is why Cecil can easily win her.

In other words, it is not Cecil that restricts her, but this man named Bode.

So Stella answered his questions wisely.

“Um…” Bode rubbed his chin while listening, and pondered slightly, “Then when did you start to smell this smell?”

“Just the days before I went to their house…” Stella replied absent-mindedly as Cecil had asked him before, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bod.

“I advise you to think more carefully, after all, my patience is not as good as Cecil.” Bode looked at her with a smile but a smile, with dangerous cold light flashing in his narrow gray eyes. “You don’t want to be Levitt either. The earl asked why he was hurt, little devil?”

Stella: “…”

She now finally knows where the bad side of Cecil’s body came from.

Seeing Stella deflated, Cecil was in a good mood. She smiled and watched Stella fall into silence, and then slowly spoke uncertainly.

“Probably… five days before I arrived at Levitt’s house? I really can’t remember, I just remember that the moon was very round that night, and I was planning to go out for food,” Stella’s gaze swept across Cecil’s. Face, “Then I smelled her, mixed with the fragrance of roses.”

Five days ago… Did anything special happen that day.

Cecil tried to think about it, for a long while, frowned slightly: “I remember, that day, Lena and I ran into Alex in the academy.”

Bode: “Anything else?”

“Also,” Cecil fell into deep thought, his voice lowered, “I had a sense of communication with Xiaoyi that day…”

As if finally thinking of something, she paused slightly and stopped talking.

She still remembers that during the period after synaesthesia, her spirit has not been very good. At the time, she only thought it was because her magic power was too low. Now it seems that there may be other reasons…

She couldn’t help looking down at the little octopus hiding in her chest. The little guy was still falling asleep in the shimmering crystals, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

“So all this probably started after that synesthesia.”

Bode said quietly: “Although it is still uncertain, as long as you find someone to synesthesize with your little pet, you should be able to prove whether this inference is correct.”

Cecil raised his eyes slightly.

Synaesthesia again?

“But this is also risky. Once this inference is confirmed to be true, it means that another person will become the monster’s ‘Holy Communion’…”

Bode looked at Cecil deeply and said in a low voice, “You think about it.”
