Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

Chapter 140 Paranormal activity

Right before their eyes, the entire town had gone dark. Not a single light was there.@@@@

"Where is everyone?" Sophia wondered as all three of them felt everyone in the city had vanished.

"Let's go back to the castle first."

As the two girls followed Alex back into the castle, he quickly closed the balcony door before running downstairs.

"Alex, why are you running?" Mary asked as they both caught up to him.

"Something is off. You guys didn't notice all of their windows are shut?"

Both girls thought back to what they had seen earlier and immediately joined Alex in closing all of the windows.

After frantically closing every single one in the hallway, they were beyond exhausted as they sat back in the living room.

"Alex, you know something, right?"

Sophia asked, feeling something was seriously off after remembering he suggested leaving earlier.

"I... I just feel like the whole city was weird when Mom used that scroll instead of the bank teleporter."

Alex answered, quickly making up an excuse on the spot as he didn't want to reveal about Sarah.

"What should we do now?" Mary nervously asked, her face looking a little scared by the darkness.

"We can't leave the castle now... Might as well just go to sleep then."

As soon as Alex got up from the sofa, the other two quickly followed him to the hallway.

"You two just go to bed and go to sleep. Everything is going to be fine tomorrow morning."

Both of them nodded, allowing him to head towards his bedroom before stopping at the door.

"Why are you two following me? Just go back to your room and go to sleep."

"I-I'm scared. The castle is so dark." Mary whispered as she tightly held onto Sophia's arm.

"Sophia?"

"Ahem, Mary, come with me."

Sophia quickly dragged Mary towards her room, finally allowing Alex to enter his room alone.

"What's with all the weird things today?" Alex wondered as he lay down on the bed.

Thinking back, the first weird thing was the vehicle parked right outside the house.

The second weird thing was having Katherine's teacher come to visit, despite Katherine repeatedly implying her teacher had been missing for a long time now.

From Professor's last message, it was clear they were only here as a note for Ava's birthday.

Combined with the fact that all the weird things happened when they arrived at the castle, his suspicion was directed at the Professor.

"If only Meiya or Luqing were here... Why does it have to be today that they have stuff to do?"

With all of the coincidences in a single day, it was seemingly almost a full-blown plan to have them be at the castle with no supervision.

"Fuck it, I need to sleep. I still need to head back tomorrow to study for the Final."

After pulling the blanket back up, Alex closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Just as he was about to be successful, the window suddenly opened, with a cold, strong wind flowing across the room.

Without wasting any more time, he rushed out of bed before opening the door.

As he walks down the hall, he suddenly sees a giant shadow in front of the curtain.

"Calm down, Alex, there's nothing behind the window. Just ignore it and keep walking."

After arriving at the door to Sophia's room, he gently knocked on the door.

"Sophia, Mary, are you two asleep?"

A few seconds later, he was surprised to see Sophia and Mary both standing in front of him, only wearing a bra and panties.

"Hm? What's wrong?" Sophia curiously asked.

"Did anything weird happen in your guy's room?" Alex asked as he resisted the urge to look down.

"Weird? We didn't have anything happening in our room. We just went to sleep until you knocked on our door."

"Okay. Never mind. Just go back to sleep."

Just as Alex turned around, he suddenly felt a hand pulling him back.

"Alex... If you're scared, you can sleep with us." Mary quietly whispered, her voice sounding barely awake.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me——"

"Just come over."

Sophia forcefully dragged Alex inside, not giving him any option as she locked the door.

"I'm your older sister. If you're scared, you can always rely on me." Sophia reassured as she gently patted him on the back.

"I'm not——"

"Brother is lying," Mary murmured, seeing right through Alex's attempt to hide the fact.

"Whatever. You guys aren't going to believe what I saw in my room anyway."

"What do you mean you saw something? Also, let's get the blanket first. It's getting kind of cold."

As both Sophia and Mary quickly ran inside the blanket, Alex hesitated as he stood on the bedside.

"Alex, what are you waiting for?" Sophia curiously asked, noticing him just idling there.

"I... I shouldn't be with you guys. I'll just head back——"

"Come on, just get in the bed. We don't mind you sleeping with us."

As Sophia and Mary both dragged him toward the bed, he finally stopped trying to keep himself from getting inside the warm blanket.

"It's much warmer, right?" Sophia asked as they forced him to sleep in between them.

"Yeah... But why are you two not wearing your clothes?" Alex curiously asked the question inside his mind.

Within seconds, he could see their face blushing through the moonlight before Sophia answered back.

"The clothes aren't really that comfortable... It keeps on getting in the way when I sleep on the side."

"Yeah. And it feels kind of hot underneath this warm blanket... Besides, you're our brother..."

Mary added as she shyly looked to the side. Both girls realized how weird they looked to sleep in their undergarments next to their brother.

"Ahem, back to what you said earlier. What did you see in your bedroom?" Sophia curiously asked.
