Magic High School.

The aunt threw the two children she was carrying into the back seat and stepped into the passenger seat.

The luxury car was outside Viona's city, heading west towards an unknown destination.

……

On this day, the empire was shocked.

In an instant, the entire art capital of Viona was transformed into a forest, where grass giants and fire giants, each thousands of meters tall, engaged in a fierce battle, completely igniting the city.

However, it took the Empire almost its most elite forces, along with more and stronger containment objects, to finally quell the grass giant that seemed capable of single-handedly beating up the entire Empire.

Viona's operations were almost completely halted, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions of Imperial Gold Coins.

But what angered the higher-ups even more was that No. 39 of the Grass Giants had completely disappeared, and his fate was unknown!

It's like they got nothing at all!

This enraged the Empire's high command. In their fury, Albion, who had orchestrated the capture of NO.39, was stripped of his position as director of the Bureau of Abnormalities, and the new director was none other than Ronan, who had just joined the organization.

Not only that, the empire offered a huge bounty for Li Ge, and in just one day, his bounty posters covered the entire empire.

"NO.39 Imposter, extremely dangerous, bounty 1 million gold coins!"

……

"Ouch, it hurts...it hurts so much..." Li Ge slowly lay down on the bed, groaning. He only had the strength to groan now.

If it weren't for his aunt, he would have run back to school long ago, and probably would be lying on the school playground wailing.

At that point, I can only wait for some kind senior to find me and take me to the infirmary.

The young girl, Lola, stood helplessly by the hospital bedside, only able to keep picking up the fruit on the table, intending to peel some for Li Ge.

"Alright, alright, stop wailing. The doctor checked, and at most it's just muscle weakness all over the body." Aunt walked in, no longer the dashing figure she always was, but dressed in casual clothes.

"Aunt, where is this?" This is Li Ge's biggest question right now; he doesn't know if it's safe here.

“Our base,” Aunt said, glancing at Lola before adding, “You’ve already met Ronan, haven’t you? You probably know a lot.”

"I guess so..." Li Ge still felt a sharp pain shooting straight to the top of her head, but she endured it.

"This is our settlement, but in the outside world, it's called..." Auntie seemed to be keeping her in suspense. She suddenly pulled back the curtains, letting Li Ge see outside the window.

In an instant, Li Ge's pupils contracted.

Because outside the window, there were endless figures, densely packed, like wronged ghosts.

However, after he closed his Lion's Eyes, he only felt a chill outside, and the scattered will-o'-the-wisps seemed to flicker, as if countless eyes were staring at him.

"NO.40, Nightmare Town, this is our base, and the reason why I was unwilling to bring you here before," Aunt said earnestly.

Li Ge: "..."

It turns out that Auntie is secretly building up her influence, but this influence is actually located in a ghost town.

Those ghosts outside are just camouflage for my aunt and the others. Even if the Bureau of Anomalies were to arrive, these ghosts or nightmares outside would be a real threat to them.

But given the Anomaly Management Bureau's madness, aren't they afraid of just blasting this place flat with a few Hellfire missiles?

Seemingly sensing Li Ge's question, her aunt explained, "If the town is gone, then all these things will have to leave, which will be a disaster for the entire empire. Do you think the empire will allow that to happen?"

Li Ge: "..."

So, the most dangerous place is the safest, right?

Li Ge breathed a sigh of relief, now realizing that her aunt was actually a formidable character, at least stronger than herself.

Even in the Golden Eyes, this town didn't have the Bloodthirst Disease! This really moved him.

However, Li Ge really didn't know that her world was so crazy.

The ubiquitous Blood Thirst Disease, Blood Thirst People who become twisted after death, strange abilities and treasures, and the madman-like Empire and the Anomaly Management Bureau.

Li Ge even regretted bragging to her classmates that her hometown was pretty good. It seemed that the Holy Empire was just a huge cesspool after all...

It might even be much more manure than Xiaoye's hometown...

Li Ge complained, glanced at his aunt, and finally asked the question he most wanted to ask: "Aunt, what is blood thirst disease?"

This was the question he most wanted to know: that his return home this time, which turned into a sea of ​​feces, was all because of this inherently evil blood-thirsty disease.

If it weren't for this blood-thirsty disease, he would probably still be like a happy little sea tiger, returning to school with a backpack full of local specialties after enjoying himself with Viona for five days.

Instead of the way it is now.

Auntie was silent for a moment, as if she had thought of something sad. She slowly sat down next to Li Ge and hugged her.

"That's a curse..."

"A curse from heaven upon humanity."

Chapter 59 I am the Director

At this moment, Li Ge's question marks had filled the entire Pacific Ocean.

What does it mean that our enemy is fate?

Is it the kind of destiny I believe in?

Seeing Li Ge's puzzled expression, her aunt continued slowly.

“More than ten years ago, we discovered this secret. It was… a god? Or rather, the way of heaven? The will of heaven? Something like that. And then we tried to attack the god…” Aunt slowly began, recounting the story in the most concise way.

However, she almost choked up and couldn't speak.

But Li Ge already knows, God...?

In the end, the parents died, the aunt went into hiding, Mayor Ronan became despondent, Albion went mad, and the once-heroic team fell apart, even turning into enemies who hated each other...

Li Ge didn't know who the god her aunt was talking about was, how strong he was, or what level he would be in the academy.

Is he as good as the vice principal?

Li Ge didn't know, but he seemed to understand something.

God?

I'm still a God-King! Although the God-King I became before was a bit... well, it's not a big deal. As long as I'm still in this world, a sufficiently powerful God-King will always randomly appear... right?

Li Ge slowly reached out and gently patted her aunt's back.

"Don't worry, Aunt, wait for me, wait for me for at most four years..." Li Ge said, no longer intending to hide it.

He talked about his school, his life there, the friends he made, and how he had seen dragons and elves, as well as the all-powerful vice principal.

"Our vice principal is a show-off old man, but he looks incredibly cool when he tears open spatial rifts. Our director is a seriously injured veteran... My roommate is a branch of a water elemental spirit, and he's probably sunbathing on the balcony right now... We just killed an emperor in our monthly exam..."

Li Ge talked a lot, recounting every little detail of her experiences at school.

Aunt listened attentively until Li Ge finished speaking.

“Aunt, let’s leave…” Li Ge said, looking around at the world. Outside, there were only people with blood thirst and madmen, and a group of nightmare-like evil spirits wandering outside the town.

So he wanted to take his aunt and Lola with him.

Although the campus of the magic high school is only the size of a few cities, the entire world belongs to the school.

Outside the campus, there are still local residents and many ordinary people who live in this world.

The magic high school doesn't object to students moving directly to that world, since that world is actually quite empty. Li Ge knows that many senior students like to go on adventures in deserted areas after their holidays.

"You take Ronan's daughter and leave. I won't go with you, Auntie." Auntie smiled, released Li Ge, and tossed her silver hair, looking like a dashing female knight-errant.

"Why?" Li Ge asked in return.

“Someone has to stay here.” Auntie laughed, giving Li Ge’s head a good rub, making his hair look like a bird’s nest.

"If I run away, then this world is truly doomed." She laughed, rubbing Li Ge's cheeks like a child.

He looked at his aunt, but in the end, he didn't try to persuade her any further.

Perhaps once upon a time, Auntie was also a dashing little witch. When Mayor Ronan talked about Auntie in the Hero Squad, he would also look embarrassed.

However, I wonder if my aunt has gotten over that past trauma and raised me to adulthood, acting as both father and mother to me.

Perhaps when she sees herself grow up to the point where she can live independently, that's when she truly wants to fulfill her dreams.

Similarly, Li Ge seemed to gradually gain more motivation.

Meme contamination, blood thirst, and a cursed god and divine will...

What the hell is all this...?

Li Ge thought, why not transform himself into Jehovah and purify the entire world in one fell swoop?

But considering that last time it was the Sea God King, who knows what kind of power the God King might have next time, like "Si Dong Fist, Nian Dong Sword, Hao Dong Palm" or something similar to Tang Wan's abilities.

Li Ge immediately lost hope in this God King's power, treating it as a one-time use ability that could only be used in absolute crisis.

He needs to continue his studies and become even stronger.

It wasn't just his own strength that made him want to appeal to the vice principal. He had previously refused the vice principal's offer to be a corpse collector, but now he might really want to go back to school and be a corpse collector for the interrogation department.

He wanted to understand the potion that seemed to be of the same nature, the potion that could twist Senior Longbow into a memetic monster, which seemed to be very similar to the "curse of God" that his aunt had mentioned.

He wants to know more, to learn more.

In an instant, Li Ge understood his goal and future. He might not even need to grow on his own; he just needed to tell the vice principal this news, and that showy old man would definitely send someone over.

My great magic academy is full of talented people; who knows, we might just sweep aside that so-called god.

Li Ge forced himself to sit up. Although he was in a lot of pain due to the side effects, he could still hold on.

Lola, the little girl, seemed to be a bit drowsy. When she saw Li Ge trying to get up, she ran over and helped him up.

Li Ge did not hesitate. He looked out the window at the town, a town filled with evil spirits and nightmares.

But besides the evil spirits and nightmares, Li Ge also saw many houses with lights still on, vegetable gardens, wells and streams outside the houses, and everywhere was filled with the atmosphere of life.

He did a rough calculation and concluded that there were still many people living in this ghost town—hundreds? Thousands?

Were they here to escape the thirst for blood? Or did they truly inherit the legacy of the Hero Squad and silently accumulate strength?

Li Ge didn't know, but she probably understood why her aunt didn't want to leave.

If she also escapes, then perhaps there really will be no one in the world who can fight against the blood thirst disease.
