Sitting on the soft sofa in the living room, Ling looked at the door Fangran walked through, and then at the 'talisman' he asked her to hold.
Then he lowered his head and looked at his dress in trance,
Until now, she was asking herself in a daze, was everything that happened just now true?
I was really wearing such an incredibly beautiful dress, in that glorious and shining occasion just now...
Looking at the gloves that were specially prepared for herself to cover her arms, Ling couldn't help but exert force between the fingers of her hands on her knees.
The ends of her hair fell down in front of her forehead, her thin lips covering her eyes were bitten lightly, and her fair face was stained with a bloody blush.
Thinking about this period of time, it seems as incredible as a dream.
From the hard work every day, the hard black bread, and the increasingly cold hay, to waking up warm every day, cooking the grilled fish, completing the work easily and picking all kinds of delicious fruits,
Now he has even arrived in a big city like Milan, which is countless times bigger than Delisle, and is living such an unimaginably wealthy life.
But the more I accepted the dreamlike kindness and warmth I received from that person, the more clearly I felt that person's meticulous protection and care for me.
In Ling's heart, she felt the guilt of enjoying all this without giving anything, and the doubt that she could really have such a wonderful life became stronger.
I...should clearly explain it to him...
Because of the overflowing emotions, such thoughts quietly took root in the girl's heart.
Then at this moment,
"It seems like you are worried."
A man's voice suddenly sounded in the luxurious living room, startling Ling and causing her to raise her head in surprise!
Across the coffee table, on the opposite seat, was a male figure with one hand casually resting on the backrest. He didn't know when he sat there.
Ling glanced at the door in panic, but the uniformed attendants standing on both sides of the door turned a blind eye as if they hadn't seen him!
"You...who are you!?"
Ling stepped back behind her seat and stared at the man in front of her with vigilance. At the same time, she glanced at the exit of the room with the corner of her eye.
"Don't be nervous, little girl, I just want to talk to you about something."
Wales sat casually on the chair in the master's position, looking at Ling with a meaningful smile.
"I don't want to hear it. If you don't leave...I...will call someone."
Struggling alone on the line of survival for many years, Ling instinctively felt that the man in front of her was not someone who could be trusted, so she stood up and warned,
The [Shield] covered with a layer of pure black illusion glowed faintly on the sofa.
Wales frowned slightly, looking a little strange as the transparent shadow disappeared from his fingertips, but looking at Ling who stared at him warily,
Instead, he smiled evilly with more interest, and a dark light flashed in his lowered eyes.
"Calling someone...I'm sorry, it seems I have to show something to let you understand that it is useless..."
A sinister and malicious chuckle rang out, and the moment her breathing stopped, Ling saw behind the man sitting in front of her...
A three-meter-high pale demon appeared on the ceiling, burning with flames! It grabbed it and the entire bookshelf was smashed to pieces!!
The ankles lost their strength and the high heels failed to support the body. Looking at the flaming demon with a terrifying grin that was beyond reality,
Ling suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright, her wide-open light golden pupils unable to stop trembling as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"You...what are you going to do..."
Ling's voice trembled as she looked at the terrifying demon that she thought only appeared in stories.
"Didn't I say that I have something to tell you, but since you asked,"
"Then let me tell you, you know the young man next to you,"
Because his youth and strength were not valued in the cult, Wales was very satisfied with the effect of showing his strength in front of ordinary people. He controlled this flame demon,
He chuckled at the girl in front of him and replied with dangerous and ferocious eyes:
"I'm here to kill him."
A sudden coldness invaded Ling's whole body.
The bloody words made her open her eyes wide, and fear made her tremble all over. She subconsciously looked at him and was afraid to speak:
"Kill him...you mean Fangran...why...why..."
Looking at the terrifying and huge demon behind him, Ling felt her heart pinched, and an uncontrollable panic spread. Originally, she hoped that Fang Ran would come back quickly,
But when I saw the demon appearing beyond reality and listened to the other party saying that he wanted to kill Fangran,
She just hoped that the door would never be opened.
Don't... Fangran, don't come back, you will be killed...
"Why, hehehe, why... of course it is..."
Wales lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, then suddenly raised his face, looking at Ling who was lying on the ground with a sinister smile, and said loudly:
"Of course it's because of you!!!"
Bone-crushing fear suddenly emerged.
Lying paralyzed on the ground, listening to Wales' words with a terrifying smile, Ling's wide-open eyes suddenly burst into tears silently,
it's me....
it's because of me,
It was all because of me that I was in danger.
Again...
"That's right, it's because of you that he fell into this situation of being killed. Think about it, why is this?"
Wales's voice was low and vague, full of some kind of inductive power, and floated to Ling's ears,
It brought back memories that she least wanted to recall...
'Wait here, mom and I will bring you bread right away...'
Don't...don't...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
She grasped her hair tightly, thoughts of rejection flooded her mind, and she thought of the two figures who never came back, and tears welled up from Ling's wide eyes.
"No..."
As the tears flowed, a thin cry came from the girl's throat.
Don't...I don't want...
At this moment when her consciousness was unconsciously instigated and her thinking ability declined, the scattered and turbulent emotions washed over Ling's mind, leaving her with only one thought left in her tears.
No, I don't want him to die,
I don't want... to let someone who is good to me... change and never come back...
Looking at the girl who was crying freely, Wales, who seemed to be satisfied with the entertainment in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth and continued to speak in a low voice in a provocative tone:
"So... what to do... you understand, right?"
The empty light golden pupils were filled with tears. Ling seemed not to hear his words, but Wales yawned, smiled and disappeared from the room, as if he had never been there.
After almost a few seconds, Ling, who had stopped crying, looked at the empty room. She didn't care where the attendant went, nor did she pay attention to the intact bookshelf.
She glanced at the door Fangran left through, lowered her head and bit her lip, then slowly stood up.
Outside the window, the clouds were rolling again, and the howling night wind had already blown water droplets from the sky...
