After being thrown out of the room by the Lord of Ashes, the girl ran desperately towards the outside of the village. Her bare feet were bruised by the stones. It was only when her legs lost feeling and her body could no longer move that she collapsed.
On the ground, breathing heavily.
Then, the girl started crying until she couldn't stop crying.
"You look in pain." A voice suddenly came, and the girl was shocked. She quickly put down her hand on her eyes and found a man wearing a clown mask standing in front of her.
"Tell me your name?" the clown said with a smile.
"...Carol, Carol Mosidis." By some strange coincidence, the girl said her name, even though she didn't know her at all.
"Carol, that's a nice name." The clown nodded, "Do you want revenge?"
"Who are you and how do you know..."
"Don't ask anything else, just answer me." The clown interrupted Carol's question and said.
".........think."
"Louder, I can't hear what you are saying at all." As he said that, the clown put his hands next to his ears and leaned sideways.
"I think, I want revenge, I want to kill that guy, I want to make him miserable!" Carol shouted in pain.
"Hahaha, that's right. Revenge requires an attitude of revenge. What's wrong with being weak?" The clown smiled, and then a scarlet contract book appeared in his hand, which read "Blood Feast"
book].
"Whether you can take revenge depends on yourself." The clown said, "This is a forbidden book. Put your blood on it and participate in the trial. If you succeed, you will gain the power of revenge. If you fail, you will die.
.”
Carol looked at the scarlet contract book and hesitated in her heart, but thinking about the guy who killed her parents, killed her brother and laughed at her, Carol bit it without hesitation.
He took his finger and dripped blood on the page.
"That's ridiculous." The clown said with a smile as he looked at Carol who disappeared and entered the trial in the book.

On the other side, Zero and Lacey have arrived in Vaskili.
"Two books, there are two root contract books here." As he got off the boat, the owner of the ruins said, "But the two are far apart, so they should not be together."
"That would be much easier to handle." Zero murmured.
"Who are you talking to?" Lacey asked upon seeing this.
"No, no, you heard wrong." Zero glanced at Lacey and walked towards where the Lord of Ruins said.
In the corner, a person was staring at Zero's back.
Zero and Lacey took the lead in arriving at a hotel. This was also Glinton's routine. The first thing he did when arriving at a place was to find a place to stay. Zero learned this fully. After all, Zero didn't think he could live in a hotel in one day.
You can get both of these root contracts.
"I have some things to deal with. You can go get something to eat by yourself. We will meet at the hotel in the evening." Zero gave Lacey some money and walked out of the hotel. Looking at Zero's back, Lacey sighed slightly. In the past,
That is, when Glinton was still alive, Lacey would most likely follow Zero to see what Zero was doing, but now for some reason, Lacey felt that there was some distance between herself and Zero, and she also felt an inexplicable fear of him.
.
"Illusions are all illusions." Lacey patted her face, took the money and walked out of the hotel.
When they came to an ordinary restaurant, although Ling gave herself a lot of money, Lacey felt very uncomfortable when she thought that the money was Glinton's inheritance and that she and Ling had taken it without his consent.
Looking at the menu, Lacey finally ordered a very cheap set meal.
While he was sitting and waiting, a white-haired woman sat across from him.
"Can I sit here?" she asked.
"Uh, okay." Lacey nodded, but she was a little confused because there were still many empty seats around her.
This white-haired woman is Joshua.
"Where is the man traveling with you?" Joshua asked casually while waiting for the meal.
"What did you say.........."
"That brown-haired man, his name seems to be Zero."
Upon hearing this, Lacey immediately became alert and prepared to use the Book of Octopus.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not an enemy." Joshua said, "I have something to tell you."
"You said they weren't enemies, so they weren't." Lacey deliberately ignored Joshua's last sentence and said bluntly.
"If I were an enemy, I wouldn't sit here and talk to you calmly like now." Joshua leaned back slightly, "I won't talk in circles anymore. I hope you stay away from that zero."
"...Are you kidding me?" Lacey frowned, "A person I don't know suddenly said this to me. Please put yourself in my shoes. If it were you,
Will you agree?"
"Indeed, we don't know each other at all, but do you know Zero?" Joshua looked into Lacey's eyes and said, "Are you sure you know him?"
"Is he really a trustworthy person?"
Looking at Joshua, Lacey hesitated.
"Even if you say so, I will..."
"Glinton was killed by Zero." Before Lacey could finish speaking, Joshua said directly, "You must have noticed it yourself."
"You, please stop talking nonsense here, you just want to sow discord between the two of us, and then divide us two, and deal with each other one by one!" Lacey stood up directly and shouted, "Zero is a trustworthy person,
There is no need for you to judge him here."
After saying that, Lacey left the restaurant directly without waiting for the food to be served.
"It's really difficult to change the future." Looking at Lacey's back, Joshua sighed deeply.
