In the principal's office, Sibis sat behind his desk, while the others stood in silence.
"Vincent, where have you been these past four months? How could you have vanished without a trace?" asked Sibis.
Sibis stared straight into Vincent's eyes like two sharp lasers.
Vincent smiled bitterly. His mind was racing.
"Teacher, I had no idea that it had been four months. In my mind, only 20 days had passed."
"When I found the Undying Crow egg, I also found a box. After opening the box, I entered a strange place. The place had always been bright and sunny. I had no idea how much time had passed. I had to put in a lot of effort to escape," said Vincent.
Vincent told half-truths about what happened in the paradise illusion in order to not arouse suspicion.
Sibis frowned after hearing what Vincent said. It was the first time he had heard of such a place.
