Diary of Guarding Monster Girls-Chapter 590 - 340 Let me take a look!!!(Please subscribe!)

If you want to know the answer, you need to see it for yourself.

Herbert understood this truth from a very young age.

What you hear is not as reliable as what you see.

What you see with your own eyes is always more convincing than what others say.

However... at this moment, when the Ashen Bishop lifted a corner of her long, flowing, silk gown, Herbert instinctively felt a slight hesitation.

The truth that had yet to be revealed, just a glimpse of it, made him uneasy.

Intense unease!

Perhaps, some things are better left unknown.

Just as others have said, perhaps there really is no need to be too clear about everything...

"..."

In the silence, Herbert suddenly heard a soft sound.

Gulp!

He had unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

And this action was like a switch, restoring all the senses he had ignored.

Herbert finally realized that his body was currently in a strange state.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart was beating unusually fast, pumping blood into his chilling body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His chest heaved violently, inhaling large amounts of air, desperately maintaining what his body needed.

His body... was trembling slightly.

What is happening?

As Herbert wondered, the Ashen Bishop's teasing voice sounded in his ear.

"Didn't you want to see? Why are you just standing there not coming over?"

Hehe~

The seductive voice held delight and a hint of mockery, teasing the curious young man who had the will but not the courage.

"So, child, are you actually afraid?"

"Afraid of discovering a truth."

"Clearly, after spending so much effort to pursue a result, but at the moment of achieving it, you give up because of fear."

The Ashen Bishop softly murmured, quietly watching Herbert's pitiful trembling due to fear, and shook her head slightly.

"What a pity, really, haha..."

In her eyes, there was a mix of lamentation and teasing, but not much ridicule.

For the Ashen Bishop, this wasn't a result she found particularly surprising.

She had seen too many similar cases before. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Many people longed for the truth, dedicating countless efforts to it, but often feared it at the brink of revelation.

Because knowing secrets often comes at a cost.

Especially in the extraordinary world, this is more so.

Knowledge is alive.

And those secretive pieces of knowledge carry forbidden power.

They will pursue those who seek them, then entangle themselves around them, binding them.

If you wish to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

To seek the secrets, one must be bound by them.

And she... is the Guardian.

The keeper of countless forbidden secrets.

Wrapped in the flames of knowledge, reduced to ashes.

She is a loner.

The silent guardian of these chaotic knowledges.

It is normal for others to fear her.

Because beings like her should rightfully be feared.

At this point, the Ashen Bishop felt a bit regretful.

As Herbert was so determined to uncover her secrets, she too hoped.

Wishing he would be different from the others.

Unfortunately, even this young man in front of her was no exception.

There are no miracles in this world.

A so-called miracle is either a boastful lie of the gods or a rare lapse of fate.

No miracle occurred.

Within just a few breaths, the Ashen Bishop withdrew her wandering thoughts and prepared to lower her skirt with a sense of regret.

"If you're afraid, don't force it, it won't do you any good, just give up obediently."

To avoid disappointing Herbert too much, she softly added, "Rest assured, this doesn't count, I can still fulfill another wish of yours..."

This was the Ashen Bishop's mercy, an obvious favoritism towards the boy's innocent action.

But the next moment, the boy, with a trembling voice, firmly rejected her kindness.

"No!"

Herbert barely managed to avert his gaze and raised his head to smile at the Ashen Bishop, "No need to change wishes, I just want to know this."

"I want to know the answer!"

Change it?

I just want this!

"Hmm?"

The Ashen Bishop was quite surprised, raising her eyebrows as she fixed her gaze on the trembling boy.

The frantic heartbeat, labored breathing, relentless trembling... these were all reactions others exhibited when they glimpsed her true form.

Such reactions were no different from the others... this was what she naturally assumed.

But when the boy resolutely refused with determination in his voice, she noticed something slightly different.

He was different from the others.

Different from everyone!

The real difference wasn't in these superficial reactions.

It was in his eyes.

The boy's eyes were filled with a brilliance the Ashen Bishop had never seen before, bright as the stars.

Could it be... his trembling at this moment wasn't due to fear?

"Haha, cough, I almost got carried away."

Herbert laughed twice, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stretched with all his might. When he opened his eyes again, he had completely suppressed his body's instinctive reactions.

The previous trembling wasn't due to fear, but because of... excitement!

Some people feel fear and confusion in the face of the unknown, becoming unable to move forward.

However, in contrast, there exists another very small group of people... who feel excited about it.

For danger, they gladly embrace it!
