cold.

It's too cold.

This is how Alice feels now.

She closed her eyes and huddled in pure darkness.

This felt all too familiar to her.

Every time she lost control, she would fall into the bottomless 'deep sea'.

Almost all perception is blocked.

Including vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even thoughts will be delayed.

The only thing I could feel was the biting cold.

And this time, there was even more of a lingering despair lingering in his heart.

The reason why she wanted to participate in this project was because she wanted to use this opportunity to create a slight possibility of deepening her relationship with John.

But now, she was directly out of control.

Alice can guess what she will do when she loses control with her heels.

First, she will kill the other hostages tied to herself.

Then kill any mermaids that may be around you.

Then, they will launch an attack on the warriors who came to rescue the hostages.

Of course, she couldn't kill John.

Alice has a full understanding of her own and John's strengths.

Even if she loses control, she will never be John's match.

It's just...can John forgive her for the things she did when she lost control?

Even if John himself has experienced losing control, I'm afraid it's unforgivable, right?

it's all over.

There is no possibility for her and John anymore.

John might even kill her on the spot if she lost control.

And even if John didn't kill her, she wouldn't be able to stay in Hogwarts any longer.

After something like this happened, no one would be willing to accept her anymore.

The only thing she could do was to leave Hogwarts.

Perhaps she should be like her mother, locking herself in a dark cage, working with alchemy machines all day long, and finally dying alone.

This is the most suitable destination for the Lopezes.

This is also the final ending that monsters should have.

…

Along with Alice's thinking.

Despair is spreading in my heart.

A large amount of negative emotions are constantly pouring out, which is also making the surrounding darkness thicker and richer.

Alice knew very well that so many negative emotions would not help her current situation, but would instead make her lose control more and more intensely.

But she couldn't control it.

She didn't want to control it anymore.

After all, everything is finished.

"Buzz——"

A buzz suddenly appeared in this silent and dark world.

Alice didn't care at first, but continued to be immersed in her own despair.

However, the buzzing sound became louder and louder, and eventually turned into a series of sounds of flapping wings.

Immediately afterwards, Alice could feel a beam of light shining on her closed eyes.

This light is not dazzling, but rather soft.

Warm and very comfortable.

It was a feeling that Alice had never experienced in this darkness.

She subconsciously opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the light.

Then she saw a white dove of peace flying towards her from the sky.

The dove of peace is blooming with bright and soft white light. Wherever it goes, the sticky darkness composed of negative emotions is torn apart and melted!

The beautiful white peace dove also seemed to notice Alice and opened her eyes.

It sped up and flew towards Alice.

Along with its movements, the light that originally only lingered around its body exploded.

In an almost crushing manner, a large area of ​​darkness was instantly dispelled.

Then, in the vast expanse of white light, the body of the Peace Dove gradually began to transform into a human form.

The person whose whole body was made entirely of light was actually Michelle.

"Quick! Alice, grab my hand!"

Michelle shouted and stretched out her hand towards Alice.

This scene made Alice's mind go blank.

In the darkness, she had imagined almost everything that might happen.

But she never imagined that someone would come to save this monster like herself.

Because this is impossible.

This was something she couldn't even imagine in her daydreams.

But now, the impossible has become possible.

Someone really came to save her.

And this person is her love rival, Michelle.

"Alice, what are you still doing?" Seeing Alice's delay in responding, Michelle urged again, "Hurry and grab my hand!"

While shouting, Michelle was still approaching Alice.

This is too difficult for her.

Because the surrounding darkness composed of negative emotions seemed to react.

They began to gather and fight back against Michelle, the 'foreign object'.

Under their obstruction, Michelle could not move forward.

Even the light lingering on his body was suppressed.

"ah--"

Alice also seemed to have come to her senses.

She subconsciously reached out her hand with some anxiety.

Michelle let out an angry roar, ignored the darkness that was approaching her, grabbed Alice's wrist, and then pulled hard.

"boom--"

The white light exploded violently, destroying all darkness.

When Alice came back to her senses, she was already lying in Michelle's arms.

Michelle gasped and said with a smile:

"I saved you!"

Staring at the innocent smiling face in front of her, Alice trembled all over.

'I'm sorry, John, I think... I might have to break my promise. Michelle really...'

Thinking of this, Alice's cheeks turned slightly red, and she mumbled something else to say.

But Michelle didn't give her this chance.

"Harry! Take the others, let's go!"

Michelle shouted loudly.

After taking one last look at John, who was still fighting with the giant squid and gradually moving away from the mermaid village, Michelle gritted her teeth, used the transformation technique to conjure a big fish, and led the group of them to swim quickly to the shore.
