I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 83 Demon Mother Goddess (Part 1)

Shen Tianyu stared at Shi Daohan with a playful smile on her face and said, "You seem to really don't want Locke to have too much contact with that witch. I'm curious what exactly you're worried about?"

Shi Daohan rolled her eyes at him and said, "She was sent from the Demon Realm, so naturally I have to be wary of her. You must know how evil the power within Locke is."

At this point, she sighed again and said, "What does it matter to me what you do? I'm just a nobody. I don't have the courage or ability to save the world from suffering. Even if chaos really comes, I can find a mountain to hide on and escape it."

"Then why did you have to wade into this mess?" Shen Tianyu asked.

"Sigh, I don't know either." Shi Daohan slumped lazily on the sofa and said, "I don't like getting involved in troublesome things. If things develop to the point where I can't control them and they're out of my control, then I can only choose to let go and ignore them."

Shen Tianyu smiled and said, "It's rare for you to tell me so many honest things."

Shi Daohan was truly exhausted. If it weren't for the desire to become an elder, she wouldn't have come to Horagaka Magic Academy as an exchange student. She would have stayed in seclusion in Shushan, cultivating immortality and comprehending the Dao. Why would she have been dragged into this mess?

Shi Daohan looked up at Shen Tianyu and said, "Sincerity for sincerity. After saying so much, you should tell me what your purpose is in coming to Horagaka Academy as this so-called exchange student, right?"

"I came to Horagaka Academy as an exchange student simply to keep an eye on the Demon Emperor's tomb. As for Locke, it was a completely accidental discovery. Let me be frank with you, I now suspect that the power within him may have some kind of connection with the Demon Emperor."

At this point, Shen Tianyu's tone turned icy as he said, "Right now it's just suspicion, there's no concrete evidence. Once I discover that the filth inside him is truly related to the Demon Emperor's Immortal in the Pot, I will not hesitate to kill him to prevent him from wreaking havoc on the mortal realm!"

He knew nothing about the Demon Lord's reincarnation vessel, but guessed that the strange power within Locke's body, whose origins were unclear, might be related to the Demon Emperor's Immortal in the Pot.

Of course, Shi Daohan would not bring up the fact that Locke might still be the reincarnation vessel of the Demon Lord.

The very next day, Shen Tianyu, Shi Daohan, and Jing Xinyu left Horagaka Academy together, heading to a city-state called Butonha Bay in the north of the British Empire.

This is a coastal city with beautiful scenery, but the group of them had no time to stop and appreciate it, because all they could think about was getting things done as soon as possible and getting the money.

Shen Tianyu wanted to get the money to exchange for spirit stones as soon as possible, and then use the spirit stones to buy materials to take care of his precious wife, Cai Li.

Jing Xinyu was also short of money. She was sent by the Demon Realm to Horagaka Academy to find a vessel for the Demon Lord's reincarnation, but the Demon Realm did not give her any funds at all.

That is to say, the cafeteria at Horagaka Academy is free; otherwise, she would have gone hungry.

Shen Tianyu's establishment of this exorcism bureau also allowed her to earn some living expenses.

After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at Baron Mitchell's mansion.

"Such a unique aura, can you sense it?"

As soon as Shen Tianyu approached the mansion, he frowned, sensing a very peculiar aura.

Jing Xinyu also looked at the mansion with some curiosity and said, "It's somewhat similar to the aura of our demon race, but it also seems a bit like ghostly energy."

Shi Daohan stepped forward and rang the doorbell. A little boy opened the door. He looked to be only seven or eight years old, with blond curly hair, and he looked quite well-behaved.

"Little brother, is this Baron Mitchell's house? He invited us here," Shi Daohan said with a smile.

The little boy glanced at them and said, "Come in."

Upon entering the mansion, Shen Tianyu and Shi Daohan immediately began to observe the feng shui layout of the house. Although it could not be considered an auspicious residence, it was not a haunted house either.

"Isn't Baron Mitchell home?" Shi Daohan asked, noticing that the mansion was very deserted, seemingly only occupied by the little boy.

"He's already dead," the little boy said.

"Dead?"

Shi Daohan and the other two exchanged surprised glances. What was the purpose of the letter they had received? Could it be that Baron Mitchell's ghost was writing to them?

"It was I who contacted your Horagaka Magic Academy in his name," the little boy said calmly.

He led the group to the lobby, then poured each of them a cup of coffee, saying, "This house is haunted. Can you handle it?"

"Of course, that's what we do," Shen Tianyu blurted out, then stared intently at the little boy and asked, "Did you see a ghost with your own eyes, or did you somehow sense that your house is haunted?"

Although the mansion was filled with an eerie atmosphere, he had already scanned it with his divine sense and did not detect the presence of any ghosts.

The little boy pondered and said, "At night, the TV in the house turns on by itself for no reason, and there's also the sound of glass breaking."

"So you didn't see it with your own eyes?" Jing Xinyu asked.

"No, I really saw it with my own eyes, that ghost was..."

Halfway through the conversation, a plump woman walked in from outside, carrying a large bag of vegetables. Judging from her attire, she was probably a nanny.

Upon seeing Shi Daohan and the others sitting in the hall, the nanny's expression changed slightly, but she still softly asked the little boy, "Kevin, who are these people?"

"They're the ones I hired to exorcise the ghost," the little boy named Kevin said directly, then pointed to the nanny and introduced her: "This is the nanny my father found for me—Lola."

Shi Daohan and the other two nodded politely, which was considered a greeting.

Laura walked over and gently touched the little boy Kevin's hair, telling him to go to his room and read first.

Kevin opened his mouth, hesitated, but still picked up his schoolbag and went upstairs.

"That child said his house is haunted, and he used his father Mitchell's name to write to our Horagaka Academy, asking us to come over. Do you know what's going on?" Shen Tianyu looked at the nanny named Laura.

"Sometimes the TV in the living room turns on by itself at night, accompanied by a woman's voice, but you can't hear what she's saying. It's very scary."

At this point, Laura glanced towards the second floor, lowered her voice, and said, "Kevin has a teddy bear in his room. Once, when I passed by his room, I saw that the teddy bear's eyes had turned blood red!"

"Is that teddy bear still in his room?" Shi Daohan asked.

Laura nodded, sighed helplessly, and said, "I've told him many times to throw away that teddy bear, but it was left to him by his mother, and he refuses no matter what. Sometimes he even gets very angry with me about it."

After some questioning, Shi Daohan and the other two learned from Laura that Kevin's mother had also passed away, having died in a car accident three years ago along with Baron Mitchell.

"Could they be the ghosts of his parents?"

"That is indeed possible. After all, they are family members bound by blood, so it wouldn't be surprising if it could be seen with the naked eye."

The three of them, Shi Daohan, Shi Daohan, and Shi Daohan, communicated using their divine senses.

"We haven't sensed any ghosts in this room. Could we stay here for the night and observe?" Shen Tianyu made this request.

"I'll go tidy up your rooms now."

After Laura left, Shi Daohan and the other two huddled together, sharing their discoveries and thoughts.

"I'm 100% sure there's something seriously wrong with this nanny!" Jing Xinyu said with certainty, stating that the aura she sensed in the house was emanating from this Laura!

Shen Tianyu and Shi Daohan both felt that there was something wrong with the nanny, but she was a living, breathing person, obviously not a ghost, but also not a demon.

Shen Tianyu looked at Jing Xinyu and asked, "Is it possible that she is one of your kind?"

"Impossible. Although the aura on her body is very similar to that of our demon race, she is definitely not one of us demons. If we have to say she is a demon, she is not a pure-blooded demon!" Jing Xinyu said.

"Do you think it's possible that her body was possessed?" Shi Daohan put forward this conjecture.

Shen Tianyu nodded, feeling that this was also very likely.

"We need to get more information from that little boy."

While the nanny, Laura, was tidying up the room, they went straight to Kevin's room on the second floor.

Before they even got close, they could hear faint voices.

Shen Tianyu made a shushing gesture, then extended her divine sense through the door.

Kevin's room was decorated very warmly, with a teddy bear that was more than two meters tall lying quietly on the bed.

Shi Daohan and Jing Xinyu also released their divine senses to observe everything in the room. Without a doubt, the more than two-meter-tall teddy bear was the most eye-catching presence in the room.

Moreover, just as Laura said, the teddy bear's eyes were blood red and were rolling around, looking particularly eerie.

Seemingly sensing that someone was watching, the blood-red light in those eyes suddenly intensified, forcing Shi Daohan and the other two to retreat.

"There really is a ghost!" Shen Tianyu immediately summoned his natal flying sword, ready to kick open the door and rush in to capture the ghost.

Shi Daohan quickly pulled him back and whispered, "Do you remember what Laura said? That teddy bear was left by Kevin's mother."

"So?" Shen Tianyu asked, puzzled.

"Foolish! What mother would harm her own child?"

Jing Xinyu couldn't help but glare at him, and then explained on behalf of Shi Daohan.

Shen Tianyu was even more confused and said, "But you all saw it just now, the ghost was hiding inside the teddy bear."

"Why are you acting impulsively? Let me think about it again!"

Shi Daohan immediately pinned Shen Tianyu down, preventing him from making any rash moves.

Through the door, they could vaguely hear a middle-aged woman's voice screaming. The voice was very indistinct, and they couldn't make out what she was screaming. Kevin, however, seemed not to hear anything and was sitting at his desk, engrossed in his homework.

"It seems like they're telling Kevin to run faster?" Shen Tianyu caught some of the words.

"At first I was just guessing, but now I'm pretty sure it's true. The ghost hiding inside the teddy bear is Kevin's birth mother," Shi Daohan said, stroking her chin.

Jing Xinyu then added, "Have you noticed that every corner of this house is filled with that kind of demonic, ghostly aura, but Kevin's room is the only one without a trace of it? Why is that?"

Shi Daohan quickly answered, "Because Kevin's mother's ghost is in the room, and the nanny, Laura, is too scared to go in!"

Shen Tianyu was still a little confused and said, "But that nanny seemed to treat Kevin quite well. She shouldn't hurt him, right?"

"There must be a story behind this. Let's go back first and not alert them."

Shi Daohan and the others returned to the first-floor living room silently, as if they had never left.

Although Laura had already tidied up their room, the three of them said they would just sit in the living room.

"Please have a seat. I'll go back to my room to rest for a bit. If you need any help, just call me," Laura said with a smile.

She lived in a side room of the living room on the first floor, which made it convenient for Shi Daohan and the others to monitor her movements.

For the next few hours, the mansion fell into a deathly silence. The three of them communicated directly through divine sense, without uttering a sound.

As darkness fell, Laura's room door remained closed. It was already late, and the nanny showed no intention of coming out to prepare dinner. Kevin also did not come down from the second floor.

"Oh no!" Shen Tianyu suddenly shouted, jumping up from the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Shi Daohan and Jing Xinyu were both startled by his inexplicable shout.

"Damn it! She's gone!" Shen Tianyu's face was extremely ugly. He flashed to the room where Laura was and kicked the door open.

There wasn't a soul in the room; I had no idea when they had disappeared.

They all rushed to Kevin's room, but there was no one there either.

Upon sensing someone enter the room, the eyes of the teddy bear on the bed instantly lit up with a bright red light.

"Stop glaring at us! Where's your son?!" Shen Tianyu demanded.

"Why are you yelling at him? She's sealed and can't speak!" Shi Daohan pulled him away, went to the teddy bear, made a hand seal, and then flicked his finger to release a purple light, breaking the seal on it.

"Please, please save my child!" the teddy bear cried out, pleading anxiously.

Shi Daohan said, "Don't rush, tell us first what happened, where is Kevin?"

"Kevin was taken away by that nanny, she's a monster, I couldn't stop her, I beg you, please save my child..."

Kevin's birth mother was extremely anxious and unable to remain calm.
