"Thanh L..."
"Get lost."
Thanh Lam chased this annoying guy away for the 6th time that day. Hoan An still did not give up. For several weeks in a row, he always came to sit next to Lam and gave her gifts, but they were all rejected.
"Hoan An, can you leave her alone?" - Vivie is very impatient. What does this guy want?
Lam is practicing controlling her power, she wants Ngoc Han to become a crazy person, her mind must be completely destroyed. Even though it only takes a few short months to recover, that is enough to remember for a lifetime. Vivie lay down on the table, holding her phone and typing something.
Hoan An has the feeling that there is some secret between these two people, although they don't tell each other, they both know it very well. Vivie Seirra seems to know Thanh Lam very well, including her power. But why does Lam look like she doesn't care about that? She seems so arrogant that she doesn't even bother to hide herself.
Daniel cleared his throat, intending to chase Hoan An away. He's not so thick-skinned that he knows people are chasing him and doesn't go.
"Then I'll come back later..."
"Don't do that." - Vivie said in a disappointed voice. This guy doesn't seem to care what people think, it's trash.
Lam was silent, looking at Hoan An. It seemed there was only one way to make this person stop bothering her, although she wasn't very interested.
"Teaching assistant, let's go." - Daniel signaled to the person sitting blankly in front of him. He had never seen this girl with such an expression.
Lam seemed to recover, stood up, waved goodbye to Vivie and went with Daniel. Vivie nodded at her, still holding a notebook on demonology in her hand.
"Why didn't you come when we needed you most?"
...
"Do you know what kind of person Nguyen Mac Hoan An is?"
"Maybe he has a thick skin."
Daniel and Thanh Lam are sitting and chatting during a break. Daniel doesn't seem to like that annoying person either.
"He tried to approach you but I still don't understand the reason." - Daniel drank his third cup of coffee of the day.
Lam sighed and said:
"I know, but he's so annoying. And professor, can you please drink less coffee? You look like you just got picked up from the river."
Daniel knows he looks a lot like a zombie but he's still beautiful. Even if it's not as good as the angle of the person sitting opposite.
"So how do you plan to handle it?"
"Maybe I'll try to help, but the chase away plan won't work." - Thanh Lam spoke while typing. - "Doing it once and then getting rid of it might be more feasible."
Daniel also doesn't want to get involved in this matter. It's not related to him anyway, but if Lam needs help he'll pitch in. Does that kid look like he's harassing someone else's daughter?
"Professor? Do you believe in the devil?" - Lam looked straight into the eyes of the person in front of him.
Daniel frowned, why did he ask that question? Of course he didn't believe it so he shook his head. The girl in front of him smiled incomprehensibly, it seemed that the question was not as meaningless as he thought.
...
Because he did not want to meet face to face, Thanh Lam decided to handle it via text message. Why do you know Hoan An's number? He simply found her number and texted her so many times that she blocked it. She just needed to unblock it.
"What do you want to say directly, it's too time consuming." - Lam texted straight to the point.
The other party immediately replied as if they had been waiting for a long time:
"Do you really agree?"
"Quick, don't beat around the bush. I know you don't like me, so there's no need to pretend to love each other anymore."
"I need you to help me claim my legal inheritance."
Lam then asked her own story:
"How much of my power do you know to be so confident? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
The other person seemed to trust her very much:
"Are not. I know you're more than capable of helping me."
"Fine, now do as I say. And don't bother me."
Hoan An just dropped the like icon, ending the short conversation. He was excited inside knowing that he had finally achieved his goal. However, along with that comes the worry that this alliance will not last long enough until he can prove himself. Originally, if two people who hated each other were on the same side, there would definitely not be good results.
Lam was also now aware of how obvious her strength was. However, if she could awaken, it would be okay, even if she died again, it would be meaningless. From the beginning, she had no intention of hiding that she was a devil.
...
"I thought you told him straight."
"I thought so too."
Vivie and Lam looked at the pile of gifts on the table and were bored. It was expensive things like always. He gave her things she liked so much that she wouldn't throw them away. It's not bad, but she wants Hoan An to reduce the intensity of gift-giving a bit. This makes people think that there is a love relationship between the two. She is most uncomfortable when being labeled like that. But these precious books are not a crime. Once she finishes reading them, she will send them back to him.
"Oh, hello!" - Thanh Lam saw a familiar figure passing by and immediately greeted. - "My beloved Ngoc Han."
Han heard this and immediately ran back to class. Since the day she was beaten by Thanh Lam, she has had trouble sleeping every night. Every time she fell asleep, Thanh Lam's bloody scenes immediately appeared in her dreams. Lam in those dreams had her large black wings cut off from her back. She cried out in pain but her lips smiled like crazy.
At first Ngoc Han thought that dream was because she hated Thanh Lam so much. But in the dreams that followed, Lam's replacement was her, each terrible pain made her feel like her body was being chopped into pieces. Blood flowed down all four limbs, blood-stained black feathers fell to the ground. The surrounding barbarians were shouting and performing incomprehensible rituals. They poured that strange water on her body, causing the wound to burn.
Every week, Ngoc Han had to endure those dreams. It haunted her to the point that just seeing wet black feathers or red liquid would make her scream in fear. Sometimes she hears Thanh Lam's gentle voice saying 'bear with me, join my most hated memories'.
There were times when she couldn't sleep, her body was exhausted, her eyes couldn't open. But Han cannot sleep, if she sleeps she will continue to be tormented by those dreams. She didn't want to see blood, didn't want to hear Thanh Lam's voice, and didn't want to endure that pain anymore.
"Fuck off! Don't haunt me!" - Ngoc Han shouted loudly as she ran.
Thanh Lam laughed very happily, she had to endure that madness alone for hundreds of years. It's only been a week and you're already so crazy, how weak is that? Or maybe Lam isn't much better, maybe she's already crazy, a little more won't hurt.
"Lam, what have you done to that brat?" Vivie asked curiously.
Thanh Lam happily replied:
"Make her crazy."
...
Sometimes Thanh Lam wondered if Vivie was surprised that her friend was such a strange person, with such hard-to-control powers?
Vivie is also not a fool, she is even a bit mysterious. She doesn't seem like an ordinary rich lady, in fact Vivie acts like she knows Thanh Lam very well. Even Lam's power, Vivie knew everything about, she was not surprised at all when Lam revealed her power.
More than that, she also helped Lam calm down, perhaps because she knew that when emotions are unbalanced, the power cannot be controlled. Vivie and Lam's looks have nothing to do with each other, but their eyes are extremely similar. It's sharp but mixed with a bit of curiosity and innocence.
"Do you know who Tina is?" - Lam wants to learn a little about Vivie.
Vivie put down the book and turned to look at Thanh Lam. She asked in a very serious voice:
"How much do you remember?"
"Probably one in ten. The closer something is to death, the more clearly it is remembered..." - Lam was not too surprised by this reaction. Vivie is inherently very strange, perhaps she can help her. - "Are you like Leonel?" Are not?"
Vivie smiled, raised her hand to pat Thanh Lam's head, and said:
"Too bad, you still don't remember that, right? But at least you should know that Tina isn't a full name, it's Kristine."
Lam was very surprised, so her name was not Tina, it was just a nickname. She looked into Vivie's beautiful emerald eyes and said:
"Do you know who I am?"
"Yes, I know very well." - Vivie nodded. - "But because of that stupid law, I can't say more. Just remember that there's no need to hide anything. Even if you make a mistake, you'll be fine, Kristine, do whatever you want. whatever you want."
Lam, no, it's Kristine, she knows very well what Vivie is implying. It's that person, the person who will protect her no matter what happens, the person she still doesn't understand why is angry with her. The person she hadn't seen in over years, the person with fiery red eyes, Beel.
