The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 2547: Xiao Xiao Down (Thirty-one)

Raven tiptoed downstairs.

It was already late at night. Not long ago, the lights in Schiller's bedroom had gone out completely, which meant that the professor had gone to bed. Raven wanted to go downstairs and check the refrigerator.

The strange events that happened today were still fresh in her memory. She didn't think it was an illusion. Years of controlling violent power made her very sensitive to power. There was definitely something wrong with the lower layer of the refrigerator, and she had to take a look.

Raven knew that the professor had many secrets, and it was not polite to pry blindly, but the problem was that if this matter was related to the devil, then she would have no choice but to take responsibility, because this was most likely a conspiracy of the Three Palaces Demon.

Raven knew long ago that her father would come into this world sooner or later. He would do everything he could to deceive everyone and make them think that they were doing the right thing, but in the end it would only bring disaster to the earth.

Raven couldn't completely trust anyone around her, because her powerful and evil father might be hiding behind them, watching her, observing her, and asking her to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter.

She would never accept all this, Raven thought. She still had to go to school, work for the moving company, and go shopping. No one could destroy all this.

Walking down the stairs and coming to the kitchen, when he reached the refrigerator, Raven was a little hesitant because the refrigerator was too ordinary.

She had searched the cold storage layer several times before but didn't find anything special. She couldn't expect that the demon portal was limited to the freezing layer. Could it be that the demon had a special hobby and only liked colder places?
With doubt in her heart, Raven reached out and placed her fingers on the edge of the freezer. The dim light from the kitchen window shone on her face, making her expression even more solemn.

With a click, the loud thunder in the rainy night startled her. At this time, Raven looked at the furnishings in the room again, and felt that everything was scary. Under the cold light shining through the gaps in the curtains, those strangely shaped statues seemed to have an evil and strange expression.

God, why did she just realize now, who on earth would host a housewarming party that needed so many weird decorations? These things clearly looked like offerings to summon the devil.

Was the professor bewitched? Or was it everyone around her who was bewitched? No one knew the truth.

If her father were to come now, no one would be able to help her.

Raven was beginning to be afraid to face this fact. The strength of her fingers on the refrigerator weakened. She gritted her teeth, clasped the door handle tightly and pulled it out.

With a whoosh, a powerful force leaked out, and when she looked, she saw a huge black hole inside the refrigerator, and her father, the terrible devil, was standing in the middle of the black hole with a smug grin on his face.

Crack, there was another loud thunder, and Raven came back to her senses. Her hand was still on the refrigerator door, and the refrigerator door was not opened. Everything was her illusion.

But she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and used her other hand to constantly stroke her trembling fingertips, pressing the fingertips to her lips, and could not help but look at the strange shadows under the dim light in the room.

bang bang bang! ! !
A flash of lightning flashed by, and the raven was frightened and stepped to the side. When he turned around, he saw a dark figure standing in front of the window, who had just knocked hard on the window.

Looking more closely, it was not a demon, nor a ghost, but a person, a bald man holding an umbrella.

Bang bang bang!
The other person knocked on the window again. Raven didn't dare to go closer because she recognized the man as Mr. Shivana whom she had met when she was eating at the night market. At this moment, his right eye was emitting a faint light in the dark.

"Are you okay?" The other person leaned over with concern, then pointed at the door, indicating that he was going to knock.

Raven was stunned for a moment, then realized that if the other party rang the doorbell, it would definitely wake up the professor, and he would have no way to explain why he was standing in the kitchen in a daze in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.

If the professor really has a connection with the devil, his actions would definitely alert the devil.

So the raven immediately rushed forward, opened the window and shouted, "Sir, don't ring the doorbell, it's too late now!"

Sivana stopped, turned around and walked back to hold an umbrella for the raven who stuck his head out. He said, "Of course I know it's late. I just finished overtime. My house is just in front. When I walked over, I saw you standing in the kitchen alone. What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with the professor?"

"Well, no, I was just hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to find something to eat."

"But you stood there for at least four or five minutes." Sivana showed concern, he said.

"You have to understand how I feel. I was coming home from work and my car broke down. I had to walk back to the house, and on the way I saw you standing in the kitchen, looking like you were reaching for something, and you had to assure me that you weren't trying to grab something sharp."

"Although I am the president of Gotham University, I was also a teacher. If you have a conflict with your parents, don't be alone and don't have any extreme ideas. Maybe you can talk to me."

As soon as Raven heard it, he knew that he had misunderstood. But when he thought about it, seeing a girl standing in the kitchen for a long time in the middle of the night and reaching out to take something, it was easy to think that she was going to take dangerous objects such as a knife. There were many teenagers who did this.

But she was still afraid of Shivana. She pointed at Shivana's eyes. Shivana touched his eyes and said, "I lost my right eye in an accident many years ago. This is my artificial eye. Does it scare you?"

Raven instinctively felt that something was wrong. When she was at the night market before, she could feel a subtle power flowing in this eye, but now she could feel nothing.

Was it her hallucination? But the reason given by the other party was reasonable. There was only one main road in this community, and if you wanted to go to the house in front, you would have to pass here.

This is a wealthy area, there won't be any all-night parties, and the people here are relatively conservative. It's normal to come over and ask about a little girl standing alone in the house in the middle of the night.

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Sivana said, "I'll talk to the professor about your situation tomorrow. You really should go to school."

"No, don't..." Raven said instinctively. She didn't want Schiller to know that she got up in the middle of the night and wanted to open the refrigerator that he didn't want her to open.

During the limited time, she got along very well with the professor. She thought he was a good person who could teach her a lot, so even though she now had money and the ability to survive, she didn't want to leave the house.

"Are you really okay?" Sivana asked worriedly, "You look dazed. Did Professor Schiller say anything to you?"

Raven was of course aware that she was in a trance. She had just seen such a horrible hallucination, and the atmosphere in the house now could not be described as peaceful. It was completely different from the daytime. The strange decorations scattered throughout the house distracted most of her attention. She felt that the bat doll lying next to the bookshelf was staring at her.

"What's your name?" Sivana asked.

The raven, still somewhat alert, was unwilling to tell her his name and only said his mother's last name - "Rose".

"You are a relative of Professor Schiller, but your last name is not Rodriguez, so you are a relative on his mother's side?" Sivana speculated.

Raven didn't want to talk to him anymore. She just wanted to go upstairs and sleep quickly, and then pretend that nothing happened that night. But she had to make sure that the man in front of her would not tell Schiller about this tomorrow.

Want to use magic?
Ravens can sense the emotions of people around them and can even devour them. To some extent, they can also distort other people's thinking and modify their memories, but she has never used this trick.

The other party may not be an ordinary person, and once the other party has the ability to resist, if the two of them fight here, the house will definitely be destroyed.

But if I just turned around and left, this nosy guy would definitely tell Professor Schiller about my situation tomorrow.

Raven didn't know what to do. Anxiety made her hold on to the window tightly, but Shivana seemed to misunderstand this.

"You seem to be afraid of Professor Schiller? Is he not nice to you? ... Oh, I see. There are some things you dare not say here. It's okay. Here is my business card. If you need help, call me or come to my office. I will do my best to help you."

Sivana looked at Raven with sincere eyes. Raven knew that he would not leave if she did not accept the business card, so she took the business card hesitantly, put it back in her clothes and said, "Okay, good night, sir."

"Good night, Miss Ross."

Watching Shivana leave, Raven breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know if it was her illusion, she seemed to see a dark shadow in the alley that Shivana had just walked through, and following him along the shadow of the street.

Raven went back to his room to sleep. Before going back, he took a special look at Schiller's bedroom. The light was not on and there was no sound. The professor should be sleeping soundly, which was good news.

It was just getting dark today, and Schiller was assembling a barbecue grill and a table football in the backyard. It was not an easy job, but he was even more reluctant to go to the front kitchen and listen to Jonathan and Valentine telling those hellish jokes derived from the body structure of cows and sheep. To him, that was a complete joke.

The barbecue grill is relatively easy to assemble. Just use a bracket to support the charcoal stove and put the grill on it. However, this table football is too complicated. First you have to assemble the table plate, then support the table legs, and finally string the little people on one by one.

The previous parts were all completed, but there was a problem when it came to the part of stringing the little people together. It’s not that Schiller didn’t understand football at all, but table football is a little different from ordinary football. They are two completely different systems.

The distance between the little figures seemed to be adjustable, but Schiller didn't know what adjustment would be fair to both parties. This thing was an antique and there was no instruction manual. Schiller studied it for a long time until it was completely dark. He decided to do it tomorrow morning.

But just as he was walking into the house, he heard a sound outside the wall. He pushed open the back door of the yard and went out to take a look. He saw a smiley face painted on the corner of the outer wall.

Schiller sighed, of course he knew who did this, it was no illusion that he became more like Batman, even the Joker was haunting him.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Schiller saw that the light in Raven's bedroom had gone out. After confirming that the girl had gone to bed, he picked up his umbrella, jumped from the balcony into the yard, and left through the back door.
