[HP] Devil is alive

After the carriage left the orphanage, Tom helped Messiah into Mrs. Cole's office.

The woman who always had a mean face was dazed at this moment, her dazed eyes were out of focus, and she was standing blankly.

"What did you talk about just now?" Messiah asked while leaning on the sofa.

"Roland Hamlet, butler of the Austin family, and Owen James, private attorney of the Austin family. They wish to adopt you and Tom for their mistress, Miss Bonnie Austin." Mrs. Cole replied in a flat tone.

"Austin family, how much do you know?"

"A well-known aristocrat, a hereditary earl. He started out as a soldier, and later turned to business, with a rich family background. However, since the last generation, their family has never produced any outstanding figures. The old Earl of Austin only had two daughters. Daughter Jill Austin promised to the youngest son of another nobleman. As a result, when she was about to get married, she was found to have been pregnant, and she herself defended that man. The old earl was so angry that she kicked her out of the house. This matter There was a lot of trouble at the time, and it didn't take long for old Austin to die of anger. Now his eldest daughter, Bonnie Austin, has inherited his title and lives in Austin Manor in Kent. She is also a spendthrift. It is said that she seems It's a pedophile..."

pedophile...

Tom quickly looked at Messiah. His brother was still leaning on the sofa, seemingly unresponsive.

"Is there nothing else?" Messiah asked softly, he was a little sleepy again.

"Hamlet suspects that Lucy is Jill Austin's daughter, and he took away Lucy's information. They will come to take you and Tom tomorrow."

Messiah asked Tom to help him up and walked to Mrs. Cole, "From now on, stay away from me and fear me. I, Messiah, don't need you as my servant anymore."

Mrs. Cole's body convulsed, and a moment later a purple tear rolled down her bewildered eye.

Back in their little room, Tom asked the Messiah, "What will happen to her?"

"A discarded servant is trash." That's all the Messiah said.

Waste, of course, has no value in existence.

And how long it lasts depends on her luck.

Tom looked rather regretful, but in fact he shrugged gloatingly.

"You don't rest?" Messiah, who was very tired just now, had no intention of resting, but walked around the door instead.

Tom was a little puzzled, stepped forward and asked him, "What are you looking for?"

"Measure," Messiah rubbed his forehead, "don't lose that tear."

"Understood." Tom has been listening to the Messiah, holding the drop of tears from Mrs. Cole in his hand...

After a while, Messiah stood still, squatted down and bit his fingers away.Tom beside him frowned fiercely, took a deep breath and said nothing, and clenched his other free hand into a fist.

"The magic circle is a very good tool for both the strong and the weak," Messiah confirmed the texture with one hand, and drew along the trajectory with the other hand, while explaining to Tom beside him in a soft voice, "As long as it is Anyone with magic power can make it. Most of the magic circles are made of special materials, ahem...but if your magic power is weak, you can also use your own blood.

"Many large-scale magics require magic circles to amplify. After all, what the human body can bear is limited... Cough, the drawing of magic circles must be precise. Every line and every spell must be exactly the same. Therefore, This is also very energy-intensive. Speaking of it...the magic circle and some advanced alchemy are also inseparable..."

Messiah pressed his throbbing heart, took a short rest, squeezed his bleeding fingers and continued to draw.

The circle is about one meter in diameter, and the Messiah was drawn from the inside out. When it was formed, it probably occupied a short corridor from the door to the house.Messiah was also reeling from this, unable to tell whether it was caused by excessive blood loss or physical weakness.

He checked it carefully several times before letting Tom put the tear in it.Almost immediately, the circle and tears disappeared.

Tom remained silent from the beginning to the end, helped Messiah to lie down on the bed, and opened the book to continue reading.

"Tom," Messiah called his name softly, "real death is actually liberation."

He felt Tom's sadness. Although he couldn't fully understand it, Messiah felt that Tom shouldn't be like this.

In the past few years, he carefully recalled the books about feelings that he had read in previous lives.The more I think about it, the more confused I feel...

Love should have a reason, who will fall in love with whom for no reason?But human beings just like to fall in love at first sight—why do they have so much emotion?

Because they are relatives?Why did old Earl Austin drive his daughter out?In the end, he also pissed himself off.

Obviously it will be easily overthrown, why do humans believe it?Really have this feeling?

Headache, Messiah decided not to.In short, he felt that Tom shouldn't be uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable when Tom was uncomfortable!

So, he told Tom, it would be good for him to really die.This is comfort.The Messiah felt that Tom was afraid of death. After all, the first experience he was born with was death. According to human terms, it is... shadows, yes, shadows!

True death is the end, the sweet eternal sleep.

Messiah didn't even dare to think how many times he would reincarnate, and how many worlds he would walk through.

It is impossible to have a long or even normal lifespan...

Impossible to stop myself somewhere...

The endless cycle of life and death, the never-ending fate...

The existence of such a life itself is a tragedy, a doomed tragedy.

"Brother, you think real death is a relief, I have no objection," Tom said calmly, "but I think being strong means living forever. Breaking time and defeating death is the real power!"

Death, almost annihilated himself.

And now, it wants to take away the Messiah too!

Tom's clenched hand was shaking, he wouldn't allow it!How could Messiah really like such a feeling of suffocation and powerlessness!

Messiah smelled a faint smell of blood, from just now to now, it has always been there.

"There are many ways to defeat death." Messiah's long eyelashes drooped, his pale face looked extraordinarily silent, "You like black magic, the best way is to blend into darkness...let the dark elements melt into your body. , blood, bones and soul. Doing so will be very painful, and if you are not careful, you will be lost forever. And when you become an elemental body, death will naturally leave you. With strong spiritual power, the dark elements will You are regarded as the 'king' and listen to your orders. If you master the darkness, you will control half of the world. With the blessing of the magic circle, you can increase the chance of success. Of course, it is only slightly improved."

But I will not let you be forever... I will help you, give my all, and help you fulfill your wish!

Messiah doesn't say it because Tom needs to try harder.It is also because the pride of the strong does not allow this kind of "help" to exist.This is blasphemy...

Messiah finally fell asleep again, and Tom shifted his gaze from the words to his peaceful face.

His brother has many secrets...

Tom once said to himself that if the Messiah confessed his secret to him one day, maybe he would be equally important in the Messiah's heart.

So he didn't ask, didn't think about it, no matter how unusual the Messiah's behavior was, he still had to wait for the Messiah to say it himself!

Then Messiah, you must persevere...

give me a chance……

Maybe, give yourself...a chance too.

The next day, Tom started packing early.Since he became proficient in meditation, in order to save more study time, he only meditated for a few hours late at night to restore his spirit.Especially after Messiah started coughing up blood, Tom even took time to meditate.

They don't have many things, but they are very organized.It is certainly impossible for them to continue to wear the old clothes given by others. Tom just packed them up symbolically.The main thing was books, and as Tom piled them all on the table, he realized how much he had read.

Finally, there is the big rabbit that Billy gave to Messiah-the little rabbit has grown up after all these years. Tom recalled the scene of cleaning, brushing and feeding the rabbit. on it.

But Messiah likes to hold it...

Speaking of which, Messiah is also very attractive to animals, otherwise Tom wouldn't have killed that croaking bird before.Seeing that Messiah is so rare that he likes to hug him to bask in the sun, bear with him...

Tom packed up his things and was about to continue reading when Messiah woke up, "Tom."

"Huh?" He responded.

"Can you see which of the two people yesterday is weirder?"

"The young...James," Tom replied immediately, "he's very mental."

Tom also let the dark element try after noticing that Messiah's face was not right.Of those two, Element leaned more towards James.If it wasn't for the sensitive element, Tom wouldn't have noticed anything wrong with the man, "He should be a dark wizard, and the light element was repelled when he approached him."

Messiah listened quietly, noncommittal to Tom's statement, "After they entered the magic circle, you activated the magic circle with magic power, and then tried your best to protect yourself with dark elements."

"What about you?" Tom asked back, the fact that Messiah didn't care about him more than once made Tom want... want... want to bite him!

"It was you who activated the magic circle, not me. That gentleman must know who is more threatening, you or me." Squibs can be easily recognized, and Messiah believes that the non-human gentleman should at least understand this.

This can be regarded as instinct, it is easy for everyone to ignore the weak and get rid of the threatening people first.
