Elite Mission

Knock, knock~!

Late at night, a soft knocking echoed through the silent corridor.

"You're here. Come in first."

Opening the bedroom door, Bell saw Yomi standing outside, just as expected. Without saying much, he stepped aside and gestured for her to enter.

Don't get the wrong idea—he had no intention of doing anything to betray Hermione while she was away.

In fact, not long after Yomi and Kagura reunited earlier that day, Bell had noticed that something seemed off about Yomi's mood.

She had hesitated to speak several times, but with other people around, she had held herself back each time.

As it turned out, he had been right. At least staying up until now had not been for nothing.

"Haa~! So, what's going on?"

Bell looked unhappily at the solemn-faced Yomi in front of him. He had nearly fallen asleep just moments ago.

The Tsuchimiya Family had always relied on the Killing Stone's power to forcibly seal and control Bai Rui. And Yomi's own experience showed clearly that the Killing Stone was no pleasant thing to deal with.

To use the Killing Stone, one either had to completely merge with it and become an evil spirit,
