My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 653: Night out
Eren blinked a few times to make sure that he wasn't seeing things. But the information in the status screen didn't change. Her stats were monstrous. They were many times more than Lysander's stats.
The thing that caught his attention the most, was her status. It showed that she was actually dead.
Even though he had considered the possibility, after seeing the papers and his system's insistence on finding her secret, it became absolute certainty.
Trisa was brought back to life by Lysander, but he hadn't heard about the sacrifices taking place on such a large scale in Hell.
If he was actually sacrificing millions of people, then other Primordials would have definitely noticed the disappearance of the people.
'Just where did he find so many sacrifices while staying under the radar of other Primordials?'
The status screen of Trisa disappeared, and Eren closed his eyes. He tried to think back to his time in Hell, to see if there was anything that might have missed his attention.
'Could it be that it happened during the last war, in which many Primordials had also died? It would have been a perfect opportunity to arrange the sacrifices. If it's not that, then it can only be in some lower world, that might be connected to hel-'
When his thoughts reached this point, he froze in place. A lower world, that could supply the sacrifice of millions of people, without being detected by the other Primordials?
'It can't be. He couldn't have used earth, right?'
Even though he didn't want to believe that Lysander could actually be so cruel to his home world, there were many signs that kept tugging at his heart, making him see the possibility.
Lysander had already sealed the portal to earth. He thought it was because he wanted to protect earth, but what if the reason was entirely different?
The thing that made him the most suspicious was the fact that their reaction was extremely drastic, whenever he talked about going to earth. Even when he talked about merely visiting earth for a few days, he had felt their killing intent.
It wasn't something that he could ever forget. He knew that there was a reason that they didn't want him to return to earth, but he never expected it to be a reason like this.
"No, I came from the future of earth. If there was such a sacrifice, I would have noticed, right? But then again, the flow of time between earth and our worlds is different. A single day on earth might be tens of years in hell and even more in other worlds."
Lysander had already spent thousands of years in hell, while he claimed to have come from earth merely a few decades ago from the time period that Eren came.
"If he really did sacrifice the people from earth to bring Trisa back to life, it would explain everything. But this... Could it have something to do with my transmigration?"
The more he thought about it, the more his head started hurting. There were some secrets that were better left unknown. Now that he knew such a secret of the Primordial Demon and his wife, he was in a much more complicated situation.
He couldn't let them know that he already knew his secret. For that, he had to return the storage ring, but how? Before thinking of a solution, he quickly kept the notes back in Trisa's storage ring and took the key of his shackles.
His gaze at this moment was much different than it used to be in the past. Even though she looked just as charming as before, his thoughts were drastically different about her now that he knew more about her secret.
"How do I put it back without waking her up?" The ring in his hand, had become his biggest problem for now. He started waiting, to ensure that he was in a deeper sleep, before trying to put the ring back again.
"She should be in a deeper sleep, right?"
After an hour, he quickly moved and inserted his hand inside her clothes, and quickly left the ring before retracting his hand. His heart was racing fast when he brought his hand out, and he observed her smallest of expressions.
Fortunately, there were no changes in her expressions. She hadn't woken up. Eren finally sighed in relief. He had dealt with the temporary problem, and now he had the key in his hand as well.
He quickly opened the lock on the chains around his wrist, and freed himself.
"I don't know why the system wanted me to know this secret before sunrise. But I'm sure it's important for my survival. I can't stay here until morning."
Most of his options wanted him to run away from this place before sunrise. He didn't know why that was the case, and he didn't want to find out either.
He carefully opened the window, and jumped out under the moonlight. He turned into a shadow and moved as fast as he possibly could.
He didn't have time to wait for the meeting with the Merchant Union. He just wanted to run away as fast as he possibly could. His primary goal was to get out of this city.
"Hmm? Is that a Merchant Union ship?" He was halfway through the city, almost on the verge of reaching the exit when he saw a ship on the ground. The Merchant Union were loading some boxes into the ship.
"Hurry up! I don't want to stay in this barren city any longer!"
The people that were arrogant before, looked very subservient when they loaded the box, especially when they walked past the young woman who was standing arrogantly on the deck of the ship.
"Are they leaving? This might be a good opportunity." He avoided detection by the woman, and ran around the area to climb the ship from behind.
He entered the ship, and hid himself. He didn't stay on the deck, and went to the lower floors, near the servant quarters which were more crowded and easier to hide inside.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Eren was able to hide within the ship that was prepared by the merchant union for some special guests.
Once the boxes were loaded properly, the Branch Head of the Merchant Union personally came to bid farewell to the girl.
