Superpowered Love Academy

Seeing Shen He's reaction, Zuo Le felt a little strange.

After all, he and Shen He had done quite a few things that violated the precepts.

Void summoning is already a serious taboo.

The situation between the two might be too strong to call it collusion, but it certainly violated the rules, and they both tacitly agreed to it.

"The teacher seems to have a lot of hostility towards those without light?"

Upon hearing Zuo Le's question, Shen He looked up and gazed out the window.

This usually aloof psychic instructor's eyes flashed with obvious hatred at this moment, a feeling even Zuo Le could clearly sense:

"It's almost time for class. Go and prepare for class. We'll talk about the Lightless Ones at noon."

"Yes."

Zuo Le nodded, knowing that Shen He must have something to say to him.

After completing the psychic studies course, Zuo Le was to stay behind to clean up the ritual runes used by the instructor during the psychic summoning.

This is normal work for a teaching assistant, and it's part of his job.

Shen He nodded goodbye to the many students, but before leaving, he nodded to Zuo Le:

"Come to my office after you're done tidying up."

"Okay, teacher."

After spending more than 10 minutes cleaning up the remaining traces of the teaching session, Zuo Le walked alone toward her mentor's office.

Knock knock knock!

He knocked on the door, but no one answered from inside the office.

Zuo Le hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to push open the door, peeked out, and found Shen He in the office.

He was lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the photograph in his hand.

The picture frame is an old style, with two people's initials engraved on the corners.

【SH&CL】

Are they the names of Professor Shen He and his wife?

SH can correspond to Shen He.

But there are just too many names related to CL, it's impossible to guess them.

Zuo Le glanced at the photo from the angle.

The photo shows a woman with a gentle smile, black hair, a round face, and a calm demeanor.

Zuo Le could sense that Shen He was still deeply immersed in his emotions and couldn't extricate himself from them for a long time.

Although he didn't want to disturb his mentor's reminiscence, Zuo Le had been standing here waiting for nearly 10 minutes.

Finally, I had no choice but to speak up:

"teacher?"

Shen He did not respond immediately, but he blinked.

After a few seconds, he picked up the picture frame and raised it slightly.

He lightly rubbed his thumb against the glass surface, as if brushing away non-existent dust.

"Actually, it's very clean up there, no need to wipe it." This was what Zuo Le was thinking, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Zuo Le, what kind of people do you think the Lightless Ones are?"

Shen He's voice was calm, no different from usual, but Zuo Le noticed that his fingernails were white as he gripped the photo frame, clearly indicating that he was using force.

Zuo Le did not answer rashly:

"Which aspect is the teacher referring to?"

"There's no specific place; just describe the part you feel."

Zuo Le thought about it and realized that he didn't know much about the Lightless.

Aside from the brief exchange and the kill, all that remained were Xi Fei's verbal accounts.

Based on this information alone, Zuo Le couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he could only speak about the parts he clearly felt:

"They are not very professional."

Shen He's lips twitched slightly.

Zuo Le's answer was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Ha, unprofessional... That's a fresh description. Most people who have interacted with them just think they're dangerous or extreme."

Zuo Le nodded, acknowledging the strength of the Lightless Ones:

"I also think they are dangerous; their combat capabilities are indeed not weak."

Because he killed two opponents, the death of whom was the greatest boast he could make.

"If they're not weak, why are they unprofessional?"

Hearing Shen He's question, Zuo Le didn't try to hide anything and directly stated her thoughts:

"A person's strength and the professionalism of their actions should be calculated separately, just as some people are good at physical skills and some are good at spiritual skills."

The attack by these lightless individuals was sudden, but their methods were definitely questionable; they didn't seem like those trained in assassination or raids.

Upon hearing this, Shen He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zuo Le without making a sound.

How could a normal student understand assassination or raid?

He was silent for a moment:

"Your observation skills are truly keen, and your points of observation are quite unique."

Upon hearing Shen He's words, Zuo Le scratched his head, realizing that he had revealed some information.

However, it didn't matter if he was exposed in front of his mentor; they were practically in the same boat.

"Does the teacher know anything about the people without light?"

"Well, they weren't professional assassins, nor were they ordinary outlaws wandering the streets."

Before the Mirror Sky Sea incident, most of these younger, lightless individuals were just ordinary students, still wearing monastic robes and attending classes in the Holy Light Department.

Zuo Le didn't respond; Shen He rarely brought up the Jing Kong Hai incident on his own initiative.

He also learned about the incident from Tu Qi and Lu Chaoxi; it must have been a tragic internal strife.

So he just waited quietly.

"Don't look at me like that, Zuo Le. I can't give you any answers."

Zuo Le was speechless, then asked another question:

"Why would the teacher be troubled?"

"Because my wife was killed by the One Without Light."

When Shen He spoke, his tone was very calm, as if he were stating something that had nothing to do with him.

Zuo Le had already had a vague suspicion, but when she actually heard it, she couldn't help but feel disappointed:

"Is that so? What happened back then?"

"The rebellion of the Lightless has been going on for many years, and the affairs of the Holy Light Sanctuary have been classified as secrets, so I have no way of investigating them."

All I know is that on the day of the incident, a group of people suddenly rushed into the conference hall of the Holy Light Hall, and coincidentally, my wife was inside.

Hall of Holy Light?

Zuo Le initially only expressed regret, but upon hearing the location of the incident, he sensed something was wrong.

"Did the incident with Master's wife happen in the Holy Light Hall?"

"Yes, ten years ago."

"Was it an accidental injury, or a targeted attack?"

Accidental injury and deliberate attack are two different concepts. Although both are mortal enemies, they do not affect the desire for revenge.

However, the nature and reasons for the matter are different.

Shen He's gaze fell on the photo frame again, but without focusing:

“She was handling the distribution of holy water at the time, but the quota for the outer ring area was not matching. She discovered that someone was tampering with the accounts and talked to me about it.”

"Is this the cause?"

"I was too slow to realize that this matter itself was enough to bring her death."

Later, someone told me that she was targeted by the Lightless because she knew things she shouldn't have known.

Zuo Le wanted to say something, but he found himself without the right words.

Shen He continued speaking, his eyes filled with a hatred that even the passage of time could not erase:

"During that period, I checked everything I could, but I found nothing."

The people without light were indeed direct participants in that incident, but whether there were others behind them, I still don't know.

Actually, when Zuo Le heard this, another thought had already arisen in his mind.

It's also possible that the teacher's wife was silenced by someone else.

The one without light just happened to be the scapegoat for someone else.

Because the crime occurred in the Holy Light Hall, which is the core area of ​​the entire church.

Unless this is the starting point of the internal strife, Zuo Le finds it hard to imagine anyone being able to attack this place from the outside.

However, Shen He's mood was very low at the moment, and he didn't seem to have any desire to talk.

Furthermore, there are many motivations that drive a person to live.

It could be hope, or it could be hatred.

If the enemy is the Lightless, then Shen He has a clearer and more promising target.

But what if the enemy is the church itself...?

So who will he seek revenge against?

"Is there anything else the teacher wanted to tell me?"

Having talked with Shen He to this point, Zuo Le had already guessed that his teacher must have given him some advice.

"If you ever meet them in the future, and if you have the chance, please help me look into the holy water quota from back then."

That happened ten years ago, how can I investigate?

Almost impossible.

But Zuo Le didn't give up on Shen He's hopes. He nodded seriously and readily agreed:

"I've got it, teacher."

Shen He, who had been wearing a serious expression, finally revealed a slight smile:

"Come to my place for a meal. Yue Sheng also wants to see you."

Chapter 134 Don't move, I can snap your neck from this position.

After leaving the office, Zuo Le followed Shen He all the way back to their mentor's dormitory.

I walked through the corridor and pushed open that familiar door.

The expected stench did not come.

This surprised Zuo Le a little. Although he had been here many times, he still felt a bit resistant to the smell on Shen Yuesheng.

but……

The room no longer smelled of pus today.

There was even a faint scent of soapberry in the air, the windows were open, the autumn breeze made the curtains sway, and the living room was much brighter than before.
