moon shot plan

"Alan..." Anna's expression was a little awkward: "What are you talking about, why do you have to involve Xie Yi?"

"I just want you to believe that's all." Allen raised his chin high, and the purple veins on his slender neck were clearly visible, but they didn't beat, like winding frozen rivers .

"It seems that people with our physique are not suitable to participate in the Requiem Mass... It is obviously such a sacred thing, but it imposes a lot of pain on us... It's just that we can appreciate it, let alone sing along with it." Allen As he spoke, he couldn't help holding his head again, as if he was going to be dizzy.

An Ran frowned and looked at his contrived posture, and felt more and more uncomfortable about him, whether it was a headache or some kind of soul tremor... In fact, it was completely because she was a devil that she couldn't listen to the hymns. Such a lame excuse, why bother? Involve Xie Yi?

An Ran deliberately wanted to tear him down, so she asked Xie Yi: "What is he talking about? Do you also have this strange physique? Can't listen to hymns?"

Xie Yi smiled, glanced at Alan lightly, and said, "Who knows what he is talking about, I can not only listen, but also sing."

"Then quickly sing a few lines for him to listen to, or he will think you are the same as him." An Ran was completely optimistic about the show, and I really don't know why Allen suddenly said such a strange sentence, Did he think that this would pull Xie Yi into the water?

Xie Yi smiled and said: "Wait a minute, now is the part of 'the wicked people are judged'. I am better at singing 'the majestic monarch'."[1]

Alan's face became even more ugly when he heard this, his lips were already a little purple, Xie Yi smiled and asked him: "Do you want to hear it?"

"No need, I guessed wrong." Allen gritted his teeth, but still couldn't hold back, and added: "But not everyone can sing this chapter well."

"You can try it too." Xie Yi smiled unabated, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"Well... Alan, aren't you feeling unwell? You should go back to your room and rest quickly. I can't leave now. I'll go upstairs to take care of you later."

Although Anna didn't know what they were talking about, she also felt the tit-for-tat tension between the two, and she hurriedly sent Alan away. Alan's face turned pale and green, but in the end she still cared about her own plan and remained stern. A face left.

"Why do I feel that he is a little frustrated?" An Ran looked at the back of Alan leaving angrily, and asked Xie Yi beside him in a low voice: "With his endurance and acting skills, how did he deceive Anna? Could it be that falling in love will make you feel happy?" People become stupid?"

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Who knows? But his ability to withstand stress is a bit weak. Hell shouldn't entrust such an important task to him."

An Ran thought of Alan's deflated appearance just now, and felt extremely happy, so she couldn't help joking and said: "It seems that the position of the lazy devil sounds more suitable for him, coaxing little girls with sweet words every day, how harmful it is to the body. The song can't stand anymore, it's better to quickly find a place to retire."

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise: "You also think he is suitable for this position."

"Hahaha, what the hell, post? Does the devil still compete for the post? I was joking just now!" An Ran was overjoyed, why Xie Yi used words more casually than him.

However, Xie Yi said with an innocent face: "Do you think there is no need to compete for jobs in hell? Back then, Allen was assigned a lazy origin because he didn't compete with Samuel. He was supposed to be sent to retire."

"Samuel? Who is that?" An Ran recalled it carefully, and confirmed that she had never heard of this name before.

"Samuel...you've seen it before." Xie Yi still played tricks, just kept laughing, but didn't say who this person was.

"I've seen it? How come I've seen it again? I've never seen so many important people..." Seeing his smile, An Ran's heart trembled, but she still couldn't help but began to wonder who among those people she had met had Possibly that 'Samuel'...

Just now Xie Yi said that 'Alan has never fought against Samuel'... So Samuel should also think that the devil is the king, and he is still higher than the lazy devil...

What's more, he has seen it before... It will never be the Demon King of Lust, that terrible woman has the same name as Rose, and her followers all call her His Majesty Rose...

A cute face with baby fat suddenly popped into my mind——

"Could it be, couldn't it be the Demon King of Greed!" An Ran exclaimed, but she didn't expect her voice to be so loud. When she realized it, Anna looked over suspiciously: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Greed, what devil's?"

"No, no, it's just for fun. Go on, go on." An Ran laughed dryly twice, waved his hands again and again, and when Anna finally turned around, he quickly asked Xie Yi: "Is it him?"

"Yes, that's him." Xie Yi scratched his nose with a smile: "You guessed really accurately, you're really smart."

"Please boast that you are skilled. I have seen two demon kings in total, and I know the name of one. I can make it with the method of elimination." An Ran said helplessly.

"That's not necessarily true." Xie Yi chuckled lightly.

An Ran snorted twice, expressing deep doubts about this, but instead of entangled with him here, she hurriedly asked: "Then what should we do now, the 'heart of a full stomach' was not asked, nor did the middleman. "

"Ask what middleman?" Xie Yi looked at him with a smile: "Where is there any middleman?"

"But old Huo Te said that Anna gave the sacred artifact to a third person..." An Ran just said something, but was interrupted by Xie Yi: "Think about it again, what did Anna say? Anna has already answered you , she will definitely not find so many people to pass it on, it is too troublesome."

"...So there is only one person!" An Ran almost cried out in surprise again, he quickly covered his mouth, but he couldn't hide his heartbeat, and he was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "Yes, Anna did say that looking for so many People are so stupid, she would never do that... so there is no third person-"

"The holy artifact is in the hands of old Huot?!" As soon as An Ran finished speaking, Xie Yi smiled and shook his head: "Don't be too happy, it's not necessarily... From what you have seen so far, Do you think Anna will trust Holt?"

"This... But when the snake crawled out of the cemetery, she asked Hort to find the bishop, and then stayed there by herself. Isn't that considered trusting him?" After An Ran finished speaking, she didn't quite understand. Certainly, Xie Yi gave a light snort and asked with a smile:

"Do you think that's trust? I only saw disgust in her eyes. What is trust? —— You go and see the way she looks at Alan. No matter how clumsy his excuses are, Anna can believe them. Is she the kind of unsuspecting innocent girl? No, she just believes in Allen."

"But...why does Anna trust him so much?" An Ran still couldn't figure this out. How did Anna fall in love with Alan...it shouldn't be just because of his face. The suitors don't have his high-end melancholic beauty, but they should be considered handsome, right?

Xie Yi looked at him frowning and thinking hard, and the smile in his eyes deepened. He didn't control his hand, and couldn't help tapping his head lightly: "Don't think about Alan anymore."

"My God, you tyrant, I don't want him to pass the level." There are too many people around, and An Ran's courage has grown. The first reaction of being knocked on the head is not to be scared but to be furious.

"Anna's trust in him doesn't necessarily come from love...you don't want to get involved in their affairs, anyway, it's already a historical inevitability, so let's concentrate on thinking about Lan Xin's medicine." Xie Yi said.

"Okay..." An Ran rubbed her head, turned around and looked around, only to find that Anna had finished the mass at some point, and now she has disappeared. Only the townspeople and the people who are still praying devoutly are left in the cemetery. Shadows elongated by starlight behind them.

"Alan, can I come in?" Anna had just knocked on the door twice, and the person inside couldn't wait to open the door, and quickly turned sideways to invite her in: "Come in, Anna, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are you feeling better? I purposely ended the mass early." Anna gently placed the tray in her hand on the table. There were only two slices of dry bread and half a glass of milk in it, although it could be said that it was quite It was a shabby dinner, but she managed to save it.

"Take a sip." She pushed the milk towards Allen, and said with a smile, "You and Lan Xin each have half a glass, and I won't be able to take out any more."

"No, I don't have time to drink now..." Allen didn't even look at the glass of milk, but stared at Anna with extremely warm eyes, and suddenly said: "Anna, I can't bear this torture anymore, I have to tell you, let you know my heart, you will promise me, right?"

Anna froze for a moment, grabbed her clothes uncomfortably, and avoided his gaze: "What are you going to say, Alan?"

Allen looked at her face and body with eyes full of love and longing, and his breathing became more and more rapid. Suddenly, he stood up excitedly, and threw his arms at Anna: "Anna, please promise me, Promise me, please! You will, won't you? I love you so much... I can feel that you have the same affection for me—"

However, Anna shrieked and avoided his embrace, angrily said: "Alan, what nonsense are you talking about, are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, I just want to get what I want quickly... Anna, you belong to me, no one can take you away from me, not even God, only me, only me ——" He seemed to be crazy, and laughed again while talking, Anna covered her mouth and looked at him in disbelief: "Alan, you let me down so much, I really didn't expect you to be like this people..."

"What's wrong with me?" His cheeks were faintly bruised, and his eyes were repeatedly filled with a layer of crazy blood, but he seemed to know nothing, and he still laughed confidently: "I will definitely get you!" Yes, Anna, I will succeed, you believe me, promise me—”

As he spoke, he was about to pounce on Anna again, but the other side dodged him. Anna looked at his abnormally agitated state, and even if she faintly felt that something was wrong, she still felt an unbearable disgust in her heart. He picked up the tray and threw it at him, leaving a sentence: "You have to calm down!", then slammed the door and left.

God, God, why did he do such a stupid thing just now!

Allen leaned against the wall, his mind was blank, the chaotic demonic energy was rushing around in his veins, making his head buzz, and the indescribable despair completely swallowed him, he dared not think about himself What did you do to Anna just now...

What have you done?No, he didn't do anything. If he had done something just now, he wouldn't regret it so much. At least then he could still get the body he dreamed of.

But right now, he has lost his mind and ran away from Anna, talking nonsense and anger. All his painstaking efforts have been ruined. He will never forget the undisguised disgust in Anna's eyes just now, yes, she hates himself.

Why is this happening?

Although when I just went crazy uncontrollably, my words and deeds were not as gentle as usual, but don't you look like a young boy who was dazzled by love?If Anna really liked him, why would she show such disgust and disgust after hearing his fierce confession?

Although he was confused just now, he still remembered Anna's expression - that expression was merciless hatred, let alone a lingering response, not even a trace of shyness!

What exactly went wrong?Didn't Anna like him?Or... did her poor performance today really disappoint her?

But all of this is because of the group of people who suddenly appeared, no, to be precise, it was the person named Xie Yi...

Who is he, why is there such a powerful magic field around him... Allen swore that he had never encountered such a powerful demon in purgatory, and he really looked like a "majestic and terrifying king" ——

No, there is only one king he identified. Only the descendants of demon gods are qualified to become the king of demons. No matter how powerful other demons are, he will never follow them. Of course, Samuel is not necessarily the same, that greedy guy , will definitely have both ways, to please both sides...

Fortunately, the mouse that sent the letter was killed, otherwise, if Samuel found out about it, he might not be able to do anything... Before the demonic elders in hell know the reason The planned plan was exposed, so he should think about what to do next...

Allen braced his body to stand up, and finally survived another shock of magic power. Suddenly, he heard a sharp and strange laugh from the window. He looked up suddenly, but saw a chubby owl crooked Looking at him with his head down, the pattern on his head looks like a ridiculous face.

"Samuel's messenger is really scary every time." Allen breathed out, beckoning it to come in: "It's rare that you can rush in with such a powerful wave of magic power."

The owl flew around him twice, and made a few sharp and strange screams from time to time, like the groans and howls of a dying person, but Allen listened, his brows loosened suddenly, and he couldn't help laughing Said: "Great, Samuel is really good, he found the entrance of the God's Homeland so quickly... It's a road that never ends, I was just thinking about how to win back Anna's trust, he just Such good news for me..."

The owl circled around him twice, saw half a glass of milk spilled on the ground, couldn't help but swooped down, and pecked a couple of times curiously, Allen looked at it and smiled: "Samuel's stinginess really lives up to its reputation, I sent you out Send a letter, and you have to grab some food from me... If I hadn’t been unlucky today, you wouldn’t even be able to drink this milk.”

As soon as the words fell, his smile froze on his face, because he watched the owl suddenly shake twice, fell to the ground, and slowly disappeared into blood.

"Hua, magic water..." Alan's eyes widened in shock, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and a chill ran up his spine: "What the hell is she trying to do..."

"Anna, did you live with Alan yesterday? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" An Ran was about to go downstairs to look for Anna, but she saw her as soon as the door opened, and hurriedly welcomed her in, and went up carefully. I looked it up and down, and although I didn't find anything unusual, I still couldn't let go.

Anna blinked her eyes when she heard this, frowned to avoid his gaze, and only said lightly: "I didn't live in the same room with him yesterday."

"...Did something happen?" An Ran did not hear any strange noises from the next door yesterday. He was very happy that Anna didn't live with that demon, but seeing Anna's expression looked so bad, could it have happened? Something bad happened.

"It's nothing, don't think about it." Anna said perfunctorily, "How is Lan Xin now, is she awake?"

"No, but it hasn't continued to deteriorate." An Ran tried to answer in the most relaxed tone, but he knew in his heart that Lan Xin's situation could no longer be dragged on. When the moon comes, I'm afraid it will be the limit. If you can't find the "heart of a full stomach", then the consequences can be imagined.

Thinking of this, An Ran's heart became more and more heavy, but at this moment Anna said: "The 'heart of a full stomach' you told me before, I have some ideas..."

"What idea?" An Ran asked quickly.

Anna pondered for a while, and said: "Now there are almost no people in the town who can meet the standard of 'full stomach'. As I said before, the disaster caused us to lose everything, and everyone is in famine... So you won't be able to find satisfying conditions among the living... How about looking for people who died before the rat plague? Just dig the graves of those who were once rich, I think they should have been 'full eaters' "I don't know if this guess is correct."

"This is also a way of thinking, but I remember Bishop Philip said that before those... those suicides who died for you, there was never a cemetery in the town, and there was no such thing as burial... I Where can I find the 'Satisfied One'?"

Anna bit her lips: "Actually, among those who committed suicide were children from wealthy families, at least they had something to eat." When she said this, she shook her head: "But there is no difference between the two. There is no necessary relationship, Huot is so poor, but he still has a meal."

"Hot—" An Ran frowned, as if a ray of light flashed through his mind, so fast that he had no time to catch it, he could only ask quickly: "After the rat plague, have you seen Holt? Where is it?"

Anna froze for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen him, but I probably know where he is... Last time Bishop Philip appeared briefly, and he said that Holt had asked him for help before, and he also sent Holt Put it in...I think Holt should be living in the church during this time."

... Bishop Philip actually said that?

Didn't Old Holt tell them that Bishop Philip slammed the door hard after hearing his plea for help?Why did it turn into putting him in now?

"He hasn't come back yet?" An Ran asked.

Anna shook her head: "No, I don't know why he didn't come to me. Could it be that he was afraid that I would blame him? No, I won't, and he didn't do anything wrong. It's all Bishop Philip's problem..."

"To be honest, why I got angry with him in the first place was probably because of those pieces of cake. God, he is good at everything, but he is too greedy. He can become bold for food."

Just as Anna finished speaking, she suddenly let out a "shh", and looked around vigilantly, and An Ran followed her to look around, but he only saw the drowsy townspeople, and didn't notice anything unusual.

"What's wrong, Anna?" An Ran asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

Anna frowned, looked around carefully, and finally shook her head weakly: "I don't know, maybe I've been too suspicious recently, and I always feel that someone is spying on me."

"Haven't you and Alan checked thoroughly? Why are there so many uncertain risk factors in the monastery!" An Ran said dissatisfiedly, "How can you still trust him so much every day?"

Anna shook her head, and said helplessly, "You don't understand, and my trust in him doesn't come from these things."

"I don't understand why, isn't it because of...love—" An Ran made a disgusted expression.

Anna laughed: "My trust in him doesn't come from love, have you been with Xie Yi for a long time, everything is 'because of love'."

"What are you talking about?" An Ran felt embarrassed, and quickly said, "Stop making excuses, or you still believe him so much. You also believed what he said at mass yesterday. Didn't you just bully you?"

"That's not love, it's just my dream." Anna said, "Because he might take me to the land of the gods—the place I dream of, do you understand?"

The author has something to say:
