The great Mr. Eden accepted this thanks with obvious laughter, the two sides were harmonious without contradiction, and the church gradually returned to silence.

The dim candlelight illuminates the interior, and the warm tone is like paint dyed and then baked on a low fire until it clings to the wall and penetrates meticulously, becoming a melting thing that is difficult to remove.Noel blinked, restrained his smile and looked at the first crime scene.

In fact, that hope is tantamount to delusion.

The cross stood silently in front of it, and the moonlight from the sky illuminated its upper part. The blue and silver gray was like the quietly flowing Styx, with a dead gray and beautiful color; then warm yellow began to spread from the bottom, like The light of tomorrow reappears, floating and shaking under the mixture of relative colors, waiting with peace of mind.

Desperate and angry hatred, pious and peaceful hope.

The anger is different, the wish is different.

The scene reflected in the pupils was covered by the drooping eyelashes. After opening again, the dark green eyes returned to the dark nothingness at the bottom of the lake.The wizard with light brown hair opened his lips, and the voice he spoke again was dry, "Aiden...were you angry when Brian died?"

The other party was silent for a while without speaking. Noel turned his head and saw the man crying silently.

"He said that we could meet again after many years...but why did it take so many years?" The eyes of the young man with short brown and black hair were flushed, "Why didn't he accompany me?"

This time Noel spoke very smoothly. Facing the expression of pure doubt, no emotion could be seen in the eyes with green irises. He said, "Because he is going to wait for you there."

"But he can come back." Aiden pointed to the empty cross and continued: "He said that many, many years ago, after going there, the person who was tied to this cross came back after a few days ...so he will come back too, and then we can wait until many years later before going there together."

"He hasn't come back yet." Noel looked at him without changing his expression, "So you can only find him by yourself."

Aiden shook his head, "I can't go to him, then I can't go to the same place as him."

"I'll never see him again...he said it." The man with sky-colored pupils lowered his head, as if he believed in what his brother said.

The green-eyed detective turned his head slightly and asked, "So you asked others to find him? Then why are you angry with them?"

"They said it was impossible for my brother to come back." The emotion called anger reappeared on Aiden's face, "Why did he say he couldn't come back when he believed in that story as much as his brother?"

Soon, he restrained his anger again, and his mood changed so quickly that he was just like a child. He said again with full expectation: "But it doesn't matter, when they find brother, they can come back together, and then they will I won’t say that again, facts speak louder than words!”

When he said the last sentence, this young man with a childlike mind broke into a smile again, just like when he perfectly refuted the statement of the profiler in front of him before, he demonstrated his joy after victory... and the inexperienced Like a child, he fantasizes that life is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

... But even fairy tales are not necessarily beautiful.

"What if everyone hasn't come back?" The wizard pursed his lips, his brows and eyes raised a little, and it was more of a statement than a question, "They haven't come back yet."

"Why didn't you come back?" Aiden asked simply when he got such a question.

The burning candles on the side looked like a medieval fireplace, reflecting on the boy's face flickering. At this moment, he looked like a wizard who played the villain in a fairy tale. He said slowly: "Look...they believe that story, so you're outraged that they're saying Brian isn't coming back, but there are people who don't believe that story, and if those people are saying Brian isn't coming back, are you going to be outraged as well?"

"I'm not happy." He replied.

"But you are not angry." The wizard retorted.

Aiden frowned and nodded.

"Then it's normal for these people to believe that they won't come back. But the fact is, they haven't come back until now." Noel stared straight into those blue eyes and said, "They won't come back again .”

This person has only the mind of a child without much discernment, but even a child must be educated to understand that he has done something wrong.

"Originally, you could see your brother again after many years, but if you let them find him, you will never see him again... You will not reach the same place." The wizard continued, his expression not half gentle .

The short-haired man in front of him burst into tears in an instant, like a child making trouble for no reason... But in fact, it wasn't too much trouble for no reason.

Noel watched him cry quietly for a long time, his expression didn't change much, until the other party was almost crying, he reached out and patted his shoulder, and said softly: "Aiden..."

However, the person whose name was called didn't appreciate it. He patted the other's hand with his backhand, and looked up at the person in front of him as if he was looking at an enemy, but he didn't make a move from the beginning to the end.

Sighing, the young wizard hugged him forcefully, and continued in a low voice: "You are a good boy, Aiden."

This time the other party didn't push him away, but just obediently stayed in the arms of this person who looked smaller than him in appearance, and the tears gradually stopped.

The boy with short light brown hair patted him on the back softly, "Brian was in a lot of pain before you killed him, didn't he?"

Feeling the nod of the person in his arms, Noel evoked a small smile, leaned into the other's ear, and said, "But when he died, he was very happy, wasn't he?"

"You're not happy, Aiden." After saying that, Noel immediately put away this slightly strange smile, "But when other people die, they are also very painful and unhappy."

The wizard lowered his eyelashes again, and delivered the final sentence: "You did something wrong, Aiden. Now Brian is not happy."

The tears that had finally stopped seemed to spread again. Noel clearly felt that part of the fabric on his shoulders was wet, and the arms around his waist were also tightened a lot. After a while, the person in his arms raised his head Sobbing and asking him: "Then... what should we do now?"

The slender and white hand belonging to the boy stroked the other person's hair, and stroked it in a comforting manner. This overly delicate person looked like a gentle mentor again at this moment. He asked: "When you did something wrong before, How did Brian forgive you?"

"Admit your mistakes...Apologize, make amends, and repent." The person who was questioned answered obediently, and soon his eyes lit up again, and he laughed, "So brother will still forgive me."

Noel raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, but he did not refute the other party as unceremoniously as before.He stood up, and the darkness of the night had been replaced by the unglamorous light of the dawn, which made the brightness of the candle dimmed a lot.

It's already the second day.

Looking at the brightness of the sky, the wizard walked to the place where the candlesticks were placed in front of him, leaned over and blew out the not-so-hot flames, and the whole church fell into a darker light than before, but he finally got used to it. It was still barely able to see the things in front of him clearly.

"Aiden." The young man who was still a little confused because of the sudden extinguishment of the light was startled, and then turned his gaze to the direction where his name was called.

This voice is very clean, it sounds very comfortable, it is the kind that easily makes people let go of a little vigilance, and at this time, it has some gentle flavor inexplicably.

A cold light suddenly ignited in front of his eyes, illuminating the standing young man clearly. The face was so beautiful that when the light lingered like this, it even made people feel a little distorted, as if it came from a fairy tale. The elf in the middle of the sky, but the false wings stretched out by some spell behind her, all look real and holy under the light of this light. At this time, she is more like an angel than an elf.

"Aiden." The wizard who disguised himself as a legendary creature said this, and called his name again, his expression could not be seen clearly under the light displayed by the magic, but his voice sounded like The ethereal texture seems to come from the distant sky.

All the magic disappeared after the young man issued such a short call, and the person in front of him changed back to the appearance of ordinary people. He said: "If one day you see Brian coming to pick you up like this, then It means that he must have forgiven you."

Aiden nodded obediently.

Opening the door of the church, watching the back of the young man with brown and black curly hair leaving, the green-eyed wizard's face became silent again, and he called Garcia, "Garcia? I want to check on Brian. Fergus' medical records, the first victim of this case."

He seems to have a habit of giving people unrealistic hopes.Listening to the information coming from the phone, the wizard from Slytherin thought so.

Lung cancer...Looking ahead as the sky was getting brighter, the brown-haired and green-eyed boy also took steps towards the place he was supposed to be next.

What would a qualified FBI usually do at a time like this?Putting away the phone, Noel couldn't help but suddenly thought this way.

"That... I'll admit my mistake." The local police station in Erie County, Pennsylvania, not long after the whole house was lit up, welcomed a young man with short brown and black hair, and his blue eyes were as clear as ever outside. The sky is as clean as an unworldly child.
