Chapter 165: Demon in the Bottle – 4

Last Saturday, Maya lost control of her magic for a moment.

As Wonderstein and Reyna embraced each other on stage, telekinesis went haywire.

As a result, the cake decorations they made fell to the ground and got ruined.

Seeing the effort go to waste, Reynas face turned into a frown.

A perverse satisfaction arose in Mayas heart.

Of course, it was something she shouldnt do to her respected mentor.

Moreover, her action led to another embarrassment.

She felt remorse for her actions.

Maya analyzed the accident and her behavior objectively today.

The result made her realize she was caught in a shallow Papiflux.

Papiflux, also known as Whispering of the Mind of the Master Cinepecus, was another name for it.

Cinepecus was known to appear when practitioners sought enlightenment, whispering distractions into their ears.

People called it Papiflux.

He was a lover of gossip, rumors, and fame.

He enjoyed murmurs of unproductive, emotional, blind, and irrational nature.

On one hand, she was ashamed of her behavior.

Yet she couldnt escape it.

It was the essence of Cinepecus and his limitation.

So, he envied those who attempted to surpass his limitations.

Religious seekers and scholars pursuing new truths were his targets.

He whispered into their ears to lead them astray.

Rumors.

Baseless suspicions.

Irresponsible gibberish.

Seductive instigations.

There was no room for it in a straightforward pursuit.

The religious could dispel it through meditation and scholars through logic.

But it wasnt easy.

Papiflux was the cause of scholars losing their minds when faced with challenges.

Maya revisited the cause of the outbreak of Papiflux within her.

There was no need to ponder for long.

The answer came quickly.

Wonderstein.

He was the key.

She found a way to fill the empty canvas of her mind.

The one who offered a torch in the darkness she wandered.

By entrusting her heart to him, she could realize Wally.

She didnt know if she could go further by entrusting her heart to him.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

But there were too many obstacles on that path for her to endure.

It was annoying that he had an interest in other women.

It was annoying that he didnt show interest in her.

It was hard to see him smiling at other women.

The emotions she had to endure in the process of filling the canvas of her mind were painful.

For her, pursuing perfect logic, it was an unpleasant dissonance.

Id rather not have such feelings at all.

What was the reason she gave up on illusion in the first place?

Because of the parts that couldnt be understood by logic.

Those feelings, which were nothing special for ordinary people, were poisonous to her.

She could be visited by Papiflux as she is now.

The devil envies the hatching bird. The devil whispers to the bird. The outside world is scary, you cant fly, the egg is precious. The name of the devil who makes the bird trying to be born return to the egg is Cinepecus.

The philosophers words came to mind, saying not to fear the devils whispers and always move towards the truth.

But Maya decided to return to the path she had been walking rather than recklessly challenge the mystery.

The new world she faced was too unfamiliar and dangerous for her.

Yeah. Lets give up selling mysterious things.

Let the illusion of Wally go away.

I dont need that.

Ill just go forward with pure logic.

Nyaaaaah!

Deeply into the heart, she stuffed the complaining cat.

However, within a few hours of making up her mind, her determination wavered greatly.

After visiting the factory, the next day, she decided to leave the villa early in the morning.

The puzzle on the floor of Tettromino Plaza.

It was to grind her mind with a logical task that suited her.

She went to find the directors bedroom to greet him as usual.

Youre leaving a little early today?

I have something urgent to attend to. Are you okay, sir? You slept longer than usual today.

Wonderstein seemed to have just woken up, sitting on the bed with the blanket wrapped around him.

Yes. No problem. Just a bit tired from yesterdays work. Are you going to Tettromino Plaza again today?

Yes.

It was the first time she heard him address someone so familiarly.

Oh, I understand Ill, Ill go to my room.

Sure.

Reyna stepped out of the room.

Her pajamas were soaked with sweat.

Maya stared blankly as she watched Reyna return to her room.

Why?

It hasnt been long since they met.

Why is she in the Directors bed?

Drenched in sweat.

A man and a woman.

Why?

In pajamas.

Its obvious.

No way.

No way.

No way.

Did they spend the night together?

Did they sleep together?

She shook her head.

It couldnt be.

Didnt the Director just say that there could be misunderstandings?

Yeah. Misunderstandings.

Thats right.

She went to find the director early in the morning and hid under the bed suprised when she entered.

However, suspicion once ingrained did not easily leave.

She spent the whole day staring at the tiles in the square, lost in thought.

No developments or logic came to mind.

Just scenes she witnessed in the morning and scenes supplemented by her imagination kept coming back.

The sight of two people rolling naked in bed whispering love to each other.

What troubles you, young lady?

The elderly caf owner had the discerning eye and hospitality skills befitting her experience.

She sensed a change even in Mayas emotionless demeanour.

The caf owner recommended a light drink mixed with vodka, and she spent time sipping it absentmindedly.

She returned to the villa that night, applied transparent paint to her body, and sat in front of Wondersteins door.

I must have seen it wrong.

Definitely.

Ill prove it.

The directors innocence.

So she guarded his room all night.

The next day, she was satisfied despite having a fever and feeling dizzy.

That girl didnt even go near the directors room.

Relieved.

It was a misunderstanding.

Thank goodness.

Shell go back tomorrow.

Nothing serious will happen.

So she slept all day in the villa.

It was all because of the strain from the day before, both mentally and physically.

She woke up well past 11 at night.

Instinctively, she grabbed her clothes and headed out of the room.

It was to confirm one last time.

She headed towards the directors room.

And she heard whispers even scarier than from Cinepecus.

Reynas voice was clearly coming from the directors room.

She listened intently, but couldnt make out the content.

It seemed like they were speaking softly because it was night.

What on earth are they doing?

This woman.

Maya flew out of the building using psychokinesis after applying transparent paint to her body.

She entered the room through the bathroom window.

Reyna finished speaking and was bowing deeply in front of the director.

Maya approached the two stealthily.

She saw Wonderstein leaning close to her ear.

What will the director say?

Tell her to stop whining and go back to her room?

Then, an unbelievable word shook her ears.

Undress.
