The cruelest... punishment?
The mysterious voice kept echoing in Avery's mind.
There is something else.There seems to be additional additions to the truth revealed at this time.
But he didn't have the energy to continue to distinguish.
The headache eased, but at the cost of Avery's eyelids slumping heavily, unable to hold on any longer.
"Mom...yeah...can you get dizzy at another time...ah..."
He passed out.
The infusion of huge information only took a short moment in reality.
Fair didn't notice Avery's abnormality, he just caught the fainted boy very decisively, and then he was stunned for a few seconds.
"I stretched out my hand before I realized it. Did I really believe it?"
Not so thorough, I still have doubts in my heart.
However, he needs to struggle for a while, but obviously not now.
The statue was still melting, and half of it disappeared after a little effort, and the surrounding air was also affected, with circles of transparent zigzag lines appearing, making the entire temple appear illusory, as if it would break at the touch of a finger.
Human beings who fell asleep inexplicably woke up gradually, and many people struggled to get up.If they see this scene, it will definitely cause panic.
Feer instinctively realized that he was in serious trouble, so he made a quick decision, and said after there was any problem, he wanted to take Avery away from Raphael immediately.
however.
Just when he picked up the quiet boy and was about to take the first step.
Behind him, the idol, which was about to dissolve completely, stopped the process of melting for some reason.
"Wow—"
Not far away, on the chest of the high priest who had fainted on the ground, the hanging communication crystal spontaneously lit up, and a beam of light that did not belong to the sun was projected directly onto the statue.
In an instant, the entire platform was completely enveloped in white light.
Yes, no one took the initiative to contact, and it was the crystal that responded to an existence that was originally far away.
Not giving Phil time to leave at all.
- Click.
What is the sound of a hard object being crushed lightly.
An invisible pressure fell very close, and then the white light faded.
"Lord Fell."
"!"
Hearing a voice that absolutely shouldn't appear here, Feier's arms tightened suddenly, and his expression was not very good, showing that he was on extreme alert.
"It came suddenly, I hope it didn't scare you."
This voice seemed very polite, as gentle and gentle as the spring breeze blowing across the earth.
But what he said politely was not so pleasant to listen to: "I heard that Your Excellency has received a special mission and is going to secretly return to the temple with a dangerous target."
"It's just that your Excellency seems to have encountered a lot of trouble? I happened to be nearby, and when I noticed something strange, I rushed over immediately. Maybe I can do a little bit."
"...Stop being hypocritical, Lanias!" Fer gritted his teeth and called out the name.
Damn, it really happened this time.
He didn't expect the Temple of Light's response to be so fast. It would be better if anyone else came, but it was Lanias.
Lanias, Son of Light, can be regarded as an "acquaintance" of Fer.
It doesn't matter if you don't know them well, they are both from the Temple of Light, and they are both among the twelve holy knights of the Temple. Whether they are voluntary or not, the two have been seeing each other every day for a long time.
Lanias' popularity and prestige in the temple is almost equal to that of the Pope.
No one doesn't like him, no one doesn't respect him, not only because of his status as the Son of God, but also because he only shows a full positive character, he is simply a living saint.
If Fair hadn't awakened the memory of his previous life, I'm afraid he would appreciate this guy very much. After all, Lanias is really strong and extremely talented, which cannot be ignored.
However, he still remembers his previous life.
Although the memory is incomplete, just the part he knows is enough for him to see through the false disguise of the Holy Son of Light and realize how despicable this is——
【Villain】.
Fair hardly ever talked to Lanias in private, and he never had a good face when meeting him.
Everyone else knew that the relationship between the two of them was extremely bad.Of course, this belongs to Fair's unilateral targeting of Lord Son, who treats everyone equally at this time.
Usually, apart from the occasional bump into a few times in the temple, the two have no other chance to walk on the same road.
After Fair's "special mission" is over, there is no chance.
There is no other reason.
"I've also heard that your Excellency wants to remove your status as a holy knight and leave the temple after completing the task."
The crackling sound was still heard, and it was the man walking forward slowly from behind.
It's really strange, just now there was clearly a white light shining, covering all directions, but now the light dimmed silently, and even the strange blue color disappeared.
The blond knight walked from the half of the broken statue, and the residue of transparent crystals covered the ground, many of which landed on the nearest steps, just crushed by his silver-white boots.
This is a tiny detail that doesn't need to be taken too seriously.
But while walking, the knight's sea-clear blue eyes lowered slightly, seeing those insignificant residues.
The compassionate temperament is vividly reflected in him, and the brokenness of small things, pity and lamentation emerge in his eyes.
The crystal shattered, and the sealed soul was about to escape.
However, they have not been able to fly freely into the vast sky as they did not long ago.
The moment he touched the faint light around the golden-haired knight, his soul was like a white paper burned by fire, and before he could struggle, he turned into a pool of pitch-black ashes——
In fact, not even the ashes remained, they simply disappeared without anyone noticing.
This is the detail that really doesn't need attention.
"Please don't be so guarded. I just want to care about whether your mission is going well. Even if we leave the temple, we are still the people of God." The holy son finally approached and smiled.
His beautiful blue eyes saw everything clearly, including the horrible scene of the temple, the confused crowd, and the obviously most suspicious current holy knight...
His Excellency Fair is very bad at covering up, so the object he tried to hide was exposed most obviously.
Looking at the blurred figure, it is a young man.
The red-haired man tried to completely cover him with his arms, but his movements were too clumsy, as if he was at a loss as if he had never had the opportunity to hug someone meticulously before, so he could only hug him stiffly.
——The flaws are all exposed.
Lanias finished his evaluation quietly, but quickly fell into doubts:
With just a glance from a distance, he became extremely dissatisfied with Feier's actions.
For the boy who hadn't seen his face yet, he inexplicably wanted to get closer. Whether it was observing or touching, he had to get closer to calm the sudden restlessness in his heart.
How is this going?
He is not someone who will suddenly be affected by unknown influences and cause emotional confusion.
Moreover, he just took one more look. Like a giant beast threatened by an important prey, Fer opened his sharp fangs, and his red pupils were full of warnings: "My mission doesn't require you to meddle in your own business!"
"It seems that Your Excellency really doesn't need my help."
Lanias's smile remained unchanged, and it was hard to see how many thoughts had turned in his mind: "After all, it is an extremely difficult task. Even I will not be allowed to know the specific purpose until your Excellency returns. It is understandable to cause damage. Yes. I will report the loss here to His Majesty the Pope alone, so you don’t have to worry.”
"……you!"
Phil heard a little undertone.
The destruction of the idol, and placing it anywhere is a serious crime that will punish the culprit with the death penalty, but Lanias summed it up as an "understandable loss", seemingly ignoring all doubts lightly.
But the truth is certainly not that simple.
The guy was warning him.
"Since it's a coincidence, I met you here, why don't we go together?" Lanias continued: "Your mission has been completed, and it just so happens that I have to go back..."
"How is your body recovering? It's not too convenient to carry hidden dangers, it's better to go back soon. If you go out, it doesn't seem to be a shortcut to go back."
As his words settled down, Fer's expression turned extremely ugly.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed Son didn't emphasize a single word, as if he was simply making suggestions, without any oppressive intentions.
Fair glared at this ostentatious guy, looking like he was about to burst into anger, but in fact he was also weighing quickly: If he insisted on taking Avery away, there would only be two consequences.
One was that he was sent to trial with Avery, and the other was that he was killed and Avery was sent to trial.
There seemed to be no other options, and the correct choice was easy to guess.
"please."
The Holy Son extended his hand in a friendly manner, and the blue cloak behind him swayed slightly as he walked forward.
No matter what Phil's reaction was, whether he was willing or hesitant, his gaze stayed on the same place and never moved.
That is the direction of a certain boy.
Watching quietly, the knight's eyes flickered slightly.
Only at the last moment, he hooked the corners of his lips, raised his head, and glanced up.
The suspicious cloud hovering anxiously above his head suddenly stopped as if he had been caught on the spot, and then flew away in the next second, tumbling and flying away.
……
As one can see, Isiris is having trouble.
Although it is normal for him to have unpredictable mood changes, it has become significantly worse in recent days.
The problem is still with Avery.
Because the boy disappeared all day before.
Because the boy fell asleep for a long time.
Because teenagers can easily mingle with group after group of passers-by.
Because the boy didn't say a few words to him, after waking up, his attention was completely taken away by other places...
It seems that the key point is "Avery didn't talk to him a few more words, and all ran to laugh and laugh with others".
"Heh, I don't need to care about these." The reincarnation of the master of the underworld said so hard, actually caring to death.
Suspicious objects must be closely observed.This was the reason he had found before, so he could follow the red-haired boy with peace of mind.
Avery would go wherever he went, and he would not be happy if he missed a glance, and of course he would be even more unhappy when others prevented him from watching.
Oh yes, Avery would be mad if he pretended not to notice him.Avery directly stated that he had seen that he was following or not observing, and he became even more angry, turning around and leaving.
Esiris is such a gloomy cat-like man.
He certainly wouldn't reflect on himself, and tried repeatedly in this miraculous state, but actually found a lot of suspicious things.
The first thing he discovered was that the teenager regarded him as one of his own, and the process was surprisingly smooth.
Teenagers are not good at concealing, so many details can be seen at a glance.
Avery obviously knew where he was coming from, probably more than anyone else, but the man just kept quiet about it.
As for Avery's own background, Esiris could see that it was obviously more complicated than what he could discover so far, and the situation was more dangerous, but this person still didn't say anything.
Even, for unknown reasons: Avery never even called him by his first name.
But he should know, and all the details show so.
Esiris had to struggle: "What exactly does he want to do? Is it pure kindness, or hidden malice? But if there is malice, how can he treat me unreservedly like this?"
The boy's behavior is indeed incomprehensible.
The flower that Isiris had pinched withered was casually handed to Ellie, thinking that Ellie should be angry too, but he was so happy that he jumped up, it was simply inexplicable.
He also likes to turn his head without warning and stare at him intently.
I have to admit that Isiris always pays attention to the boy's eyes subconsciously.
Those eyes are extremely beautiful. In today's world, it is difficult to find a brighter color than them. This alone makes them unique.
When the owner of the eyes is happy, the color becomes brighter. Once others look at it, the heart and sight will involuntarily sink into it...
"!"
Then, the man who was really addicted to it regained his senses in a daze, and suddenly saw the fluffy head approaching him.
"Hey~ What are you doing in a daze? Huh? Are you okay, then I'll go first."
He left as soon as he said he would, without even giving the man a chance to hold back for a few seconds, the red-haired boy came suddenly and disappeared quickly.
Avery's out-of-the-box play makes him irritable.
Avery's bright smile from time to time made him unable to control his joy and made him even more irritable.
Esiris didn't like this feeling very much, but every time he had the idea of leaving indifferently, the boy would just turn around.
a look.
Well, his sanity and logic evaporated again.
After coming to Rafael, not long after, the irritability that Isiris suppressed unexpectedly set off again.
He very much disliked—
It should be said that he [dislikes] the people here very much, the way he looks at Avery.
The boy's red hair is as bright as his golden eyes, it is like a treasure given by God, and it should be cherished and treasured.
If you hide it from others to see, you will feel joy and fear.
If it wasn't for his own will, the pressure from the outside world would have forced him to hide the bright and eye-catching colors wrongly, which made him incomparably angry.
"I don't want him to be discovered, and I don't want his light to be really obscured. Everyone in the world should know...what's going on, why do I think so."
Of the two options, I really can't tell which one makes Isiris more angry.
The boy with the hood walked in front, his steps were light, as if he jumped step by step.
Even though nothing was revealed, quite a few people noticed him.
He ran around and made troubles, and the next day he was mixed with a large group of inexplicable humans, so he almost called him a brother in the street.
——OK, it's obviously the third option that annoys men the most.
At that time, Esiris hadn't realized that his mental journey was full of twists and turns, and he didn't know where he was holding his breath. He was so childish that it was hard to describe.
There was black air in his shell, and the most direct impact was that the temperature in the room with the magic barrier dropped several degrees.
Following Avery from a distance is an indescribable—instinctive behavior!
Esiris: "I'm just walking around by myself."
Esiris: "It's strange to come here after just walking around."
Esiris: "Again, I'm not looking at anyone, I'm not waiting for anyone, and I'm not angry with anyone."
The female adventurer who flashed out with a large bag of things: "Hahaha, sir, you are so funny, Ellie seems to have discovered you a long time ago?"
Esiris: "..."
Human beings have escaped a catastrophe for the time being, because the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld is only a small distance away from the explosion caused by reason.
The man dressed in black was indeed very conspicuous in the crowd.
Not to mention, before Laura came over, he had already cleared twenty dishes in the cafeteria, and no one dared to approach them within a radius of more than ten meters.
The rough food was slowly sliced open by the man, with meticulous attention to detail from posture to movement.
Imperfect roots are all cut off, and moved to the edge of the plate intact with a knife and fork.
The pieces of meat are cut along the meridians one by one, and the sound of splattering makes the mouth water. The juice that flows out does not leak at all, and the aroma hits the nose.
This person is so picky, no matter how rough the environment is, he can't suppress the elegance in his bones.
Not only Laura, but also the onlookers were shocked: "Oh no, they are really just an ordinary steak, you don't have to be so cruel!"
This is no longer fine dining, and the way to eat even minced meat is a bit scary.
It's as if the purpose is not to eat, but to vent something.
Esiris: "..."
Sure enough, he was still very angry.
Ai Li didn't know when he couldn't see the shadow, and a group of insignificant people came up to him, as if they had just discovered him, and they were quite reluctantly enthusiastic.
The missing person also stuffed him with more inexplicable things, asking him to go back and wait, and what else did he say, after he went back, he had something very important to tell him.
Think he is very obedient?What is the important thing, does he really want to know?
Just took him for a fool.
Esiris obviously didn't think he was stupid, but he kept silent.
He picked up the thing very coldly and noblely, and the man's indifferent eyes lingered on the stranger for a second, as if he was going to have a fit - but he didn't do anything.
Ignoring the negligible noisy life forms, he turned and left.
Well, that's actually how obedient it is.
"Even if I want to observe, I don't need to follow him every step of the way."
This time it was the reason, Isiris convinced himself, even though he still had a knot in his heart.
That's right, it was because he had lost patience that he left so readily. After listening to a sentence that was just relayed to him, his heart jumped for no reason—there was no connection between them.
The man who was also wearing a hood was holding a huge package, and he still kept away from strangers, but his impression changed somehow.
His pace couldn't help but quicken, so fast that he wanted to fly.
There is of course a big difference between "being completely forgotten" and "although the other party is wandering around, but actually still thinking about him".
Esiris' self-esteem and pride were satisfied at the same time, and returning to the hotel alone was considered willing.
He deliberately distanced himself from Avery, and before Avery came back, he would never take the initiative to go out to find someone again.
However, he stayed in the room and had nothing to do.
He simply sat by the window.
The withered flower that was misunderstood as a "gift" came back to life miraculously through the young man's hands, and now it is placed in a vase by the window, showing a bit of greenness.
Esiris sat for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the tender green leaves among the flower branches.
His expression at this time was more gentle than he could have imagined.
Like the sunshine that brings flowers to life, it also softens the shadows from the underworld.
However, as soon as his fingers approached, the edges of the leaves began to curl, and the green color quickly faded. If it wasn't for Isiris' quick reaction, the flower would have died pitifully again.
"!"
Esiris withdrew his hand as if being pricked by a needle, and took a look at the obviously listless plant. The corners of his delicate lips moved slightly, showing a little guilt.
He clenched his fingers that were about to cause trouble, and moved back reluctantly, before continuing to look at the flowers intently.
After half an hour.
"What did he want to tell me?" Esiris whispered to himself.
Looking down from the window on the second floor, you can see many people passing by below.
It was because of the anticipation in his heart that he stayed here so quietly and obediently, waiting for the boy to come back.
It shouldn't have been long, but the man who was not sleepy waited and waited, feeling inexplicably sleepy.
At a certain time when his consciousness became blurred, Esiris seemed to hear some kind of strange voice.
I can't hear the complete rhythm and melody, it seems to be playing very casually, but when put together, it is very beautiful.
Listening, my cold limbs warmed up first.
Afterwards, the blood began to flow, spreading the [warmth] brought by the wonderful voice throughout the whole body...
"When...where..."
Between half-asleep and half-awake, the man with his head drooping couldn't help murmuring, with a trace of joy and longing appearing on his face.
He vaguely felt that a long, long time ago, he had heard a similar sound and had a similar feeling, and it was more profound then than it is now.
When the sound - yes, the sound of the piano - gently brushes the waves.
"He" is in the deep dark sea.
"He" is in the overlapping of laurel leaves.
"He" approached step by step, but retreated when there was only the last step left, and could only live in the shadow under the feet of the red-haired god.
He is so humble because "he" is the incarnation of darkness, even if he controls the nether world, he will always run counter to the light.
The light is there, even behind it, and you can see it when you turn around, but you can't get close to it anyway.
Therefore, I can only hide myself with a black shadow, and fall asleep listening to the sound of the piano night after night.
Esiris couldn't tell whether it was him or "him" who was immersed in this quietness and warmth.
Or maybe both.
His consciousness drifted away, and he was addicted to it, unwilling to wake up for a long time.
The mortals who also fell asleep listening to the sound of the piano woke up one after another, but Esiris hadn't opened his eyes yet.
From day to night, the cold light gradually disappears, and the ruthless night sweeps the world.
Slowly, until the dawn dawns.
Esiris woke up.
It was still the indifferent light, cast into the room from the window.
The figure of the black-haired man was outlined with white borders, like a solid sculpture.
The light climbing up his pale cheeks has no warmth.It is completely different from the temperature I have been feeling these days.
Finally, he moved.
"........."
Every corner of the room was instantly covered with frost.
The emptiness of suddenly losing something, the anger that seemed to be deceived, the huge loss, and the unbearable—unexpectedly, in the dark, I felt that the tearing pain that I had known before all came together at this moment.
"He lied to me?"
Yes.
Esiris' first reaction turned out to be dazed.
He raised his hand subconsciously, as if trying to grab something important.
But this time before it got close, the flowers on the window sill withered instantly, turning into black ash that couldn't be picked up with five fingers, and quickly dissipated in the air.
Then, Esiris reacted.
He actually discovered only now that the star point of life, which was like the sun, disappeared at some point.
It took a long, long time before the black-haired man lowered his eyes that had completely lost their light.
The flower that bloomed in his heart was still looking for sunshine, eager to bloom.
It worked so hard for so long, but it was no match for the frost that covered it.
In an instant, the green leaves hang down, the black threads wind up, and the green shoots wither painfully.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Like self-deprecating, but showing boundless indifference.
……
Not in this city.
Avery leaves him and leaves.
Ok.
He was left behind.
The mysterious voice kept echoing in Avery's mind.
There is something else.There seems to be additional additions to the truth revealed at this time.
But he didn't have the energy to continue to distinguish.
The headache eased, but at the cost of Avery's eyelids slumping heavily, unable to hold on any longer.
"Mom...yeah...can you get dizzy at another time...ah..."
He passed out.
The infusion of huge information only took a short moment in reality.

However, he needs to struggle for a while, but obviously not now.
The statue was still melting, and half of it disappeared after a little effort, and the surrounding air was also affected, with circles of transparent zigzag lines appearing, making the entire temple appear illusory, as if it would break at the touch of a finger.

"...Stop being hypocritical, Lanias!" Fer gritted his teeth and called out the name.
Damn, it really happened this time.
He didn't expect the Temple of Light's response to be so fast. It would be better if anyone else came, but it was Lanias.
Lanias, Son of Light, can be regarded as an "acquaintance" of Fer.

If Fair hadn't awakened the memory of his previous life, I'm afraid he would appreciate this guy very much. After all, Lanias is really strong and extremely talented, which cannot be ignored.

Suspicious objects must be closely observed.This was the reason he had found before, so he could follow the red-haired boy with peace of mind.
Avery would go wherever he went, and he would not be happy if he missed a glance, and of course he would be even more unhappy when others prevented him from watching.
Oh yes, Avery would be mad if he pretended not to notice him.Avery directly stated that he had seen that he was following or not observing, and he became even more angry, turning around and leaving.
Esiris is such a gloomy cat-like man.
He certainly wouldn't reflect on himself, and tried repeatedly in this miraculous state, but actually found a lot of suspicious things.
The first thing he discovered was that the teenager regarded him as one of his own, and the process was surprisingly smooth.
Teenagers are not good at concealing, so many details can be seen at a glance.
Avery obviously knew where he was coming from, probably more than anyone else, but the man just kept quiet about it.
As for Avery's own background, Esiris could see that it was obviously more complicated than what he could discover so far, and the situation was more dangerous, but this person still didn't say anything.
Even, for unknown reasons: Avery never even called him by his first name.
But he should know, and all the details show so.
Esiris had to struggle: "What exactly does he want to do? Is it pure kindness, or hidden malice? But if there is malice, how can he treat me unreservedly like this?"
The boy's behavior is indeed incomprehensible.
The flower that Isiris had pinched withered was casually handed to Ellie, thinking that Ellie should be angry too, but he was so happy that he jumped up, it was simply inexplicable.
He also likes to turn his head without warning and stare at him intently.
I have to admit that Isiris always pays attention to the boy's eyes subconsciously.
Those eyes are extremely beautiful. In today's world, it is difficult to find a brighter color than them. This alone makes them unique.
When the owner of the eyes is happy, the color becomes brighter. Once others look at it, the heart and sight will involuntarily sink into it...
"!"
Then, the man who was really addicted to it regained his senses in a daze, and suddenly saw the fluffy head approaching him.
"Hey~ What are you doing in a daze? Huh? Are you okay, then I'll go first."
He left as soon as he said he would, without even giving the man a chance to hold back for a few seconds, the red-haired boy came suddenly and disappeared quickly.
Avery's out-of-the-box play makes him irritable.
Avery's bright smile from time to time made him unable to control his joy and made him even more irritable.
Esiris didn't like this feeling very much, but every time he had the idea of leaving indifferently, the boy would just turn around.
a look.
Well, his sanity and logic evaporated again.
After coming to Rafael, not long after, the irritability that Isiris suppressed unexpectedly set off again.
He very much disliked—
It should be said that he [dislikes] the people here very much, the way he looks at Avery.
The boy's red hair is as bright as his golden eyes, it is like a treasure given by God, and it should be cherished and treasured.
If you hide it from others to see, you will feel joy and fear.
If it wasn't for his own will, the pressure from the outside world would have forced him to hide the bright and eye-catching colors wrongly, which made him incomparably angry.
"I don't want him to be discovered, and I don't want his light to be really obscured. Everyone in the world should know...what's going on, why do I think so."
Of the two options, I really can't tell which one makes Isiris more angry.
The boy with the hood walked in front, his steps were light, as if he jumped step by step.
Even though nothing was revealed, quite a few people noticed him.
He ran around and made troubles, and the next day he was mixed with a large group of inexplicable humans, so he almost called him a brother in the street.
——OK, it's obviously the third option that annoys men the most.
At that time, Esiris hadn't realized that his mental journey was full of twists and turns, and he didn't know where he was holding his breath. He was so childish that it was hard to describe.
There was black air in his shell, and the most direct impact was that the temperature in the room with the magic barrier dropped several degrees.
Following Avery from a distance is an indescribable—instinctive behavior!
Esiris: "I'm just walking around by myself."
Esiris: "It's strange to come here after just walking around."
Esiris: "Again, I'm not looking at anyone, I'm not waiting for anyone, and I'm not angry with anyone."
The female adventurer who flashed out with a large bag of things: "Hahaha, sir, you are so funny, Ellie seems to have discovered you a long time ago?"
Esiris: "..."
Human beings have escaped a catastrophe for the time being, because the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld is only a small distance away from the explosion caused by reason.
The man dressed in black was indeed very conspicuous in the crowd.
Not to mention, before Laura came over, he had already cleared twenty dishes in the cafeteria, and no one dared to approach them within a radius of more than ten meters.
The rough food was slowly sliced open by the man, with meticulous attention to detail from posture to movement.
Imperfect roots are all cut off, and moved to the edge of the plate intact with a knife and fork.
The pieces of meat are cut along the meridians one by one, and the sound of splattering makes the mouth water. The juice that flows out does not leak at all, and the aroma hits the nose.
This person is so picky, no matter how rough the environment is, he can't suppress the elegance in his bones.
Not only Laura, but also the onlookers were shocked: "Oh no, they are really just an ordinary steak, you don't have to be so cruel!"
This is no longer fine dining, and the way to eat even minced meat is a bit scary.
It's as if the purpose is not to eat, but to vent something.
Esiris: "..."
Sure enough, he was still very angry.
Ai Li didn't know when he couldn't see the shadow, and a group of insignificant people came up to him, as if they had just discovered him, and they were quite reluctantly enthusiastic.
The missing person also stuffed him with more inexplicable things, asking him to go back and wait, and what else did he say, after he went back, he had something very important to tell him.
Think he is very obedient?What is the important thing, does he really want to know?
Just took him for a fool.
Esiris obviously didn't think he was stupid, but he kept silent.
He picked up the thing very coldly and noblely, and the man's indifferent eyes lingered on the stranger for a second, as if he was going to have a fit - but he didn't do anything.
Ignoring the negligible noisy life forms, he turned and left.
Well, that's actually how obedient it is.
"Even if I want to observe, I don't need to follow him every step of the way."
This time it was the reason, Isiris convinced himself, even though he still had a knot in his heart.
That's right, it was because he had lost patience that he left so readily. After listening to a sentence that was just relayed to him, his heart jumped for no reason—there was no connection between them.
The man who was also wearing a hood was holding a huge package, and he still kept away from strangers, but his impression changed somehow.
His pace couldn't help but quicken, so fast that he wanted to fly.
There is of course a big difference between "being completely forgotten" and "although the other party is wandering around, but actually still thinking about him".
Esiris' self-esteem and pride were satisfied at the same time, and returning to the hotel alone was considered willing.
He deliberately distanced himself from Avery, and before Avery came back, he would never take the initiative to go out to find someone again.
However, he stayed in the room and had nothing to do.
He simply sat by the window.
The withered flower that was misunderstood as a "gift" came back to life miraculously through the young man's hands, and now it is placed in a vase by the window, showing a bit of greenness.
Esiris sat for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the tender green leaves among the flower branches.
His expression at this time was more gentle than he could have imagined.
Like the sunshine that brings flowers to life, it also softens the shadows from the underworld.
However, as soon as his fingers approached, the edges of the leaves began to curl, and the green color quickly faded. If it wasn't for Isiris' quick reaction, the flower would have died pitifully again.
"!"
Esiris withdrew his hand as if being pricked by a needle, and took a look at the obviously listless plant. The corners of his delicate lips moved slightly, showing a little guilt.
He clenched his fingers that were about to cause trouble, and moved back reluctantly, before continuing to look at the flowers intently.
After half an hour.
"What did he want to tell me?" Esiris whispered to himself.
Looking down from the window on the second floor, you can see many people passing by below.
It was because of the anticipation in his heart that he stayed here so quietly and obediently, waiting for the boy to come back.
It shouldn't have been long, but the man who was not sleepy waited and waited, feeling inexplicably sleepy.
At a certain time when his consciousness became blurred, Esiris seemed to hear some kind of strange voice.
I can't hear the complete rhythm and melody, it seems to be playing very casually, but when put together, it is very beautiful.
Listening, my cold limbs warmed up first.
Afterwards, the blood began to flow, spreading the [warmth] brought by the wonderful voice throughout the whole body...
"When...where..."
Between half-asleep and half-awake, the man with his head drooping couldn't help murmuring, with a trace of joy and longing appearing on his face.
He vaguely felt that a long, long time ago, he had heard a similar sound and had a similar feeling, and it was more profound then than it is now.
When the sound - yes, the sound of the piano - gently brushes the waves.
"He" is in the deep dark sea.
"He" is in the overlapping of laurel leaves.
"He" approached step by step, but retreated when there was only the last step left, and could only live in the shadow under the feet of the red-haired god.
He is so humble because "he" is the incarnation of darkness, even if he controls the nether world, he will always run counter to the light.
The light is there, even behind it, and you can see it when you turn around, but you can't get close to it anyway.
Therefore, I can only hide myself with a black shadow, and fall asleep listening to the sound of the piano night after night.
Esiris couldn't tell whether it was him or "him" who was immersed in this quietness and warmth.
Or maybe both.
His consciousness drifted away, and he was addicted to it, unwilling to wake up for a long time.
The mortals who also fell asleep listening to the sound of the piano woke up one after another, but Esiris hadn't opened his eyes yet.
From day to night, the cold light gradually disappears, and the ruthless night sweeps the world.
Slowly, until the dawn dawns.
Esiris woke up.
It was still the indifferent light, cast into the room from the window.
The figure of the black-haired man was outlined with white borders, like a solid sculpture.
The light climbing up his pale cheeks has no warmth.It is completely different from the temperature I have been feeling these days.
Finally, he moved.
"........."
Every corner of the room was instantly covered with frost.
The emptiness of suddenly losing something, the anger that seemed to be deceived, the huge loss, and the unbearable—unexpectedly, in the dark, I felt that the tearing pain that I had known before all came together at this moment.
"He lied to me?"
Yes.
Esiris' first reaction turned out to be dazed.
He raised his hand subconsciously, as if trying to grab something important.
But this time before it got close, the flowers on the window sill withered instantly, turning into black ash that couldn't be picked up with five fingers, and quickly dissipated in the air.
Then, Esiris reacted.
He actually discovered only now that the star point of life, which was like the sun, disappeared at some point.
It took a long, long time before the black-haired man lowered his eyes that had completely lost their light.
The flower that bloomed in his heart was still looking for sunshine, eager to bloom.
It worked so hard for so long, but it was no match for the frost that covered it.
In an instant, the green leaves hang down, the black threads wind up, and the green shoots wither painfully.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Like self-deprecating, but showing boundless indifference.
……
Not in this city.
Avery leaves him and leaves.
Ok.
He was left behind.
