"Luo Heng, have you ever understood?"

"Well, thank you teacher for your teaching."

Su Luoheng nodded, benefiting a lot.

Hearing this, Yi Lao smiled happily.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"Um."

The words fell, in the sea of ​​spirit.

The gray ball hovering above the Lake of Life rotated rapidly, and the gray mist that enveloped the entire spiritual sea shrank. The body was returned to Su Luoheng's control.

…

…

"I, this is..."

Ma Xiaotao's eyes regained clarity.

As consciousness returns, everything that happened before appears in my mind one by one.

However, the more she thought about it, the more Ma Xiaotao's hands trembled and her face became paler. Her originally confused eyes were gradually taken over by fear.

"No, no..."

She slowly curled up, her body trembling uncontrollably, as if she was swallowed by huge fear. She kept murmuring and repeating.

Su Luoheng frowned when he saw this.

This was the first time he saw Ma Xiaotao like this. Even when she faced the life-and-death crisis of Titled Douluo just now, she never showed such a fragile appearance.

"Ma Xiaotao, what's wrong with you?"

With doubts, Su Luoheng stepped forward to ask.

"don't want!"

"No, don't come over!!!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Luoheng opened his mouth, Ma Xiaotao suddenly collapsed emotionally and let out a hysterical scream that was so deafening that it almost penetrated Su Luoheng's eardrums.

Su Luoheng was startled.

"Ma Xiaotao, calm down—"

However, he still stepped forward and tried to calm her down.

However, Ma Xiaotao's condition is extremely unstable now. As soon as Su Luoheng comes near, she will face strong resistance. She will not listen to any persuasion at all.

If the soft one doesn't work, then you can only use the hard one.

"Ma Xiaotao, calm down!"

"Look clearly, the person in front of you is me, Su Luoheng!"

Immediately, Su Luoheng quickly came to Ma Xiaotao, regardless of any struggle or resistance from her, and held her shoulders tightly with both hands. At the same time, he raised his voice.

"Let go, no need to come over!!"

Such an action naturally led to Ma Xiaotao struggling hard.

And how could she be Su Luoheng's opponent in this state?

After several struggles to no avail.

Ma Xiaotao finally calmed down slowly.

"Su, Luo, Heng?"

He raised his head and looked at Su Luoheng blankly.

A glimmer of light finally appeared in his eyes filled with panic.

The next moment, Ma Xiaotao grasped Su Luoheng's wrist tightly as if grasping a life-saving straw, her voice trembled slightly.

"Su Luoheng, please, let's not go back again..."

"You can go anywhere, just don't go back to Shrek..."

"Shrek, we really can't go back... let's go..."

Ma Xiaotao's expression was frightened and desperate.

Su Luoheng looked at her and frowned slightly.

Although I really want to know what happened, the current situation is obviously not suitable for questioning. And even if you continue to ask, you may not be able to get any information.

"Okay, okay, I won't go back to Shrek."

"Calm down first, take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

"Don't think about anything now, relax your body and stay calm."

"Yes, take a deep breath and hold on."

"..."

Under Su Luoheng's constant comfort, Ma Xiaotao's condition finally calmed down. But her eyes were still frightened, and it was obvious that she still wouldn't be able to get over the impact just now.

Su Luoheng sighed.

"It's all over."

"Um……"

Ma Xiaotao forced a smile.

"What happened?"

"Why don't you want to go back to Shrek?"

Su Luoheng tried to slow down his voice and asked in a calm tone.

"Shrek...there's a problem."

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart.

Tell me why you feel afraid.

"I don't know why..."

"But as long as I am in the academy, once it comes to Shrek Academy issues, I will slowly become no longer myself. Just like, just like just now..."

Shrek Academy has a big problem.

Just like the decision to save Tang Ya just now.

Before, Ma Xiaotao always thought that it was her own idea.

But when Su Luoheng's Holy Spirit slashed and shattered the mark deep in her soul, she discovered that those decisions were not her original intentions. Instead, there was a power that fundamentally changed her will.

Once it involves Shrek Academy, your thinking will be distorted by this unknown force, changing your original will, and "you" will no longer be yourself.

It was as if there was a pair of invisible big hands behind him, controlling his destiny. This kind of terrifying feeling that cannot be described in words was the reason why Ma Xiaotao felt scared.

And it’s not just that he saved Tang Ya just now.

That time about the soul bone problem, that time in the Soul Fighting Competition, and many, many times before that... Once it comes to Shrek Academy, I will fall into that state.

Now that I think about it.

Ma Xiaotao could feel every change in herself: from herself to another person little by little. Whenever she recalled the memory of being dominated, she would fall into boundless fear.

so--

Ma Xiaotao was instinctively afraid of Shrek Academy.

Even though she was once the best student in Shrek.

Even though she was once proud of being a Shrek student.

Even if...

But now, the strange feeling towards herself made her afraid to go back to the academy. Even now, even the thought of going back to Shrek Academy made her feel inexplicable timidity and panic.

She didn't want to experience that feeling that she was no longer herself.

"I'm scared, really scared..."

"I know Shrek Academy treats me very well."

"But the current Shrek Academy feels strange to me."

"I really... really don't want to miss myself anymore."

Ma Xiaotao hugged her knees tightly and buried her head between her knees. Her tears couldn't stop rolling down and wet her clothes. This was the first time since she joined Shrek Academy that she was so emotional.

"..."

This time Su Luoheng did not open his mouth to comfort him.
To be continued...
