[Twilight] Amis

The man in front of her was very familiar to Laila.

They come from the same time and space, and they have been together for more than 100 years.

"Sifles." She called out the other person's name, and only she knew what kind of mood she was in when the name slipped on the tip of her tongue.

Siffith stood two meters away from her, the moonlight coated her light golden hair with a different color, and her pair of golden eyes, which were a little darker than her hair color, shone with a quiet brilliance.

Although her lips were stained with a faint smile, faint, remote, and holy, just like her impression, but there was no half smile in her eyes.

Laila knew that this was not a deliberate disguise by Hiffith.Siffith, was used to this kind of smile, it was the way she had smiled since the first day she knew her.

In her impression, Hiffith has always been as hazy and distant as the moon. If her alienation from people is acquired, then the alienation that Hifith gives people is more like innate, penetrating from the bottom of her heart. Like coming out.

"You're looking for something too?" Hiffith asked, her eyes fixed on her face for a moment.

Lyra nodded slightly.

"Have you also read the first page of the book of the white seal?"

Lyra nodded again.

"Me too, I think, our purpose is the same." Hiffith seemed to be slightly relieved, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"I guessed it," Lyra said dryly.

Ever since the "Tears of Almita" was stolen, she wondered if someone was doing the same thing as her. If so, then that person was probably from the same race as her.

Therefore, she came to Fox, one is to obtain the power of extreme yin, and the other is to wait for that person who may appear.

"You and I are both predestined people with the book of the white seal, and only those who have a predestined relationship will have the opportunity to see the book of the white seal, but this is not enough." Hiffith said quietly, "The things recorded in that book They are all things that have been handed down from ancient times. Once they are spread out, they will easily cause the order of time and space to be shaken. Therefore, it will automatically seal the memory of everyone who has seen it. Only those who are recognized by it have the opportunity to unlock the seal of memory. , just like you and me."

"Are you done with your questions?" Lyra asked suddenly.

Hiffith was slightly taken aback, then nodded slightly, "Yes."

"I also have a few questions for you."

"You said."

"Is the tear of Almita in your hand?"

"Yes."

"The old principal, the old man in the faculty dormitory just now, is his death related to you?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Besides the two of us, have you found anyone else coming to this time and space?"

"Not yet."

"About the method of going back recorded in the book of seals, how much do you remember now?"

"Just remember the first two things, how about you?"

It's the same as her... Laila sighed with disappointment, "Me too." After a pause, "The last question, is the power of extreme yin an opal?"

"You know?" Hiffith was a little surprised.

Lila chuckled, and there was a bit of undisguised sarcasm in her laughter, "I didn't know at first, I'm not as well-read and knowledgeable as you, until—two cats were dug up in a row in the school The incident of going to both eyes, and every time the victim is 27 cats, 27, 27, only people in our time and space know the existence of the limit value of sin. So, it is the actions of the perpetrator who reminded me, and the perpetrator —Is that you, Sifles?"

Hiffith paused slightly and nodded.Even while acknowledging this dishonorable act, her eyes remain clean and pure, as if instead of taking the eyes of 54 cats, she cured 54 blind cats.

What Laila hates the most is Siffith's expression.

"I didn't expect that Her Majesty, the pure and innocent saintess of the Yamisi family, would do such a cruel thing. Your appearance and your behavior are really... not commensurate." She raised the corners of her mouth, and her tone was absolutely disgusting Be friendly.After finishing speaking, before Hiffith could react, she frowned.

Again.

Every time she faced Hiffith, she always seemed to be different from her usual self, with negative emotions leaking out like a leaky valve.

She thought, Hiffith must have known that she was also in Forks, and the black shadow she glimpsed when she found the little white cat should be Hifith. If they didn't meet tonight, Hifith would probably continue to hide in the In the dark, do not meet her.

But it's no wonder, because they are not friends.

Hifis didn't seem upset by Lila's ridicule, "Because I have to go back. If the power of the extreme yin doesn't show up, I won't be able to sense its existence, so I can only use this method, Although it is cruel, it is the most effective." She said calmly, with a firm look in her eyes.

Laila looked at her in silence for a while, then turned her head and asked flatly, "For him?"

"...Yes." Heifes paused and replied.

The evening wind blew their long hair.

Laila's gaze stayed in an unknown distance, and the thick night dyed her cheeks, making her look dim and difficult to discern.

"The name of that opal is 'Moon's Brilliance'." Hiffith said suddenly, upon hearing that, Laila moved slightly, "I once read about that gemstone in a book introducing all kinds of rare gemstones. The introduction, the content is very little, I only know that it originally belonged to our time and space, it was suddenly lost thousands of years ago, and it unexpectedly fell into this world."

"Glory of the Moon..." Laila murmured, and then sighed softly, "You think it probably likes to hide in similar-looking life forms, so it targeted the cat in the school, Yeah?"

"Is there anything wrong?"

"I thought so too, but—" Lyra turned her head to meet Hiffith's gaze, "Have you ever thought that maybe our direction...is wrong?"

Hearing this, Xi Feisi's eyes trembled slightly.

After a brief conversation, the two returned to the old principal's dormitory together, and searched carefully as quickly as possible - that was the place where the extreme yin force was pointing to last, but unfortunately they found nothing.

It was a weird feeling, Laila glanced at Siffith next to her, thinking that although neither side said it explicitly, they had in fact formed an alliance, she and Sifith, two former... rivals in love.

Sure enough, anything is possible.

Laila looked up at the moon, filled with emotion.

During the Spanish class the next morning, the radio suddenly sounded, and a male voice announced the death of the old principal in a sad tone.

"...our beloved old Headmaster, Mr Alan Mayne, passed away yesterday at the age of 83..."

——When these words came to her ears, Laila couldn't help being slightly taken aback. She glanced thoughtfully at the empty seat next to her, and the memory of the owner of the seat when she met him for the first time emerged in her mind. Self introduction:

"Are you a new transfer student? Hello, my name is Selma Mayne."

Mayne, Mayne, Selma and the late old headmaster are all surnamed Mayne, and the old headmaster just passed away yesterday. Today, Selma, who never had a record of skipping classes in my impression, just didn't come to class by such a coincidence...

Could it be... what kind of relationship do they have?

Laila bowed her head in thought.

At noon, Laila walked into the cafeteria alone, lined up for lunch, and sat down at an empty table in the corner.

Not long after she sat down, she heard the sound of a chair being pulled away. She looked up and found that it was Edward.

"Alone?" Edward asked with a smile.

"Obviously," she replied slowly, "Catherine traveled to Bali with her parents, Selma...By the way, is she related to the old Principal Mayne?"

"You don't know?" Edward was slightly surprised. "I heard that she is the granddaughter of the old headmaster. Didn't she tell you?"

Laila shook her head, remembering what Selma had told her about the old headmaster's only son and daughter-in-law, that is, her parents, who had both passed away, and now, she lost the old headmaster, a relative...

She must be very sad now, right?

Laila was stunned for a while, the food on the plate was unconsciously poked a few holes with a fork, until the person next to her reminded her.

"If you poke it any further, you won't be able to eat it." There was a hint of a smile in Edward's tone.

"Oh." Laila came back to her senses, glanced at the new shape of the food on the plate, put down her fork, thought for a while, and asked, "Well...I heard that your adoptive father works in the hospital in the town?"

"Yes, you may call him Carlisle."

"Then does he know the cause of the old headmaster's death? What I mean is—was the old headmaster really died of natural causes like the radio said?" She asked slowly, word by word.

"What are you suspecting?" Edward raised one eyebrow, looking around her face inquiringly.

"Murder." She looked directly into his eyes frankly.

"You must have read a lot of detective novels." Edward smiled, and subconsciously reached out to touch her head, which made both of them startled.

Laila was the first to react, subconsciously tilting her head.

Seeing this, Edward withdrew his hand pretending to be natural, and coughed lightly with his hollow fist in his right hand.

"The old principal did die of natural causes. Carlisle said that Mr. Mayne was sent to the town hospital at around eight o'clock last night. At that time, he had been dead for nearly seven hours. It is said that the person who called the police used the old principal's dormitory But it’s strange, when the ambulance arrived at the scene, except for the old headmaster’s body, no one else was seen…” He couldn’t help frowning when he said this.

Wait!

Lila's eyes trembled, she raised her head, and looked at Edward with rounded eyes, "You... say what you just said again."

Edward was slightly taken aback, and replied according to the words: "When the ambulance arrived at the scene, except for the old principal's body, I didn't see—"

"Not this sentence," she interrupted eagerly, "the previous sentence!"

"The person who called the police used the landline in the old principal's dormitory?"

"One more sentence!"

"Mr. Mayne was sent to the town hospital at around eight o'clock last night. At that time, he had been dead for nearly seven hours." He repeated it like an endorsement, looked at her who suddenly became quiet, and asked, " This sentence?"

Laila didn't answer.

Her heart was beating a little violently, accompanied by wisps of chill rushing from her heart to her limbs.

"Laila, what's the matter?"

She collected herself, looked into Edward's concerned and puzzled eyes, and said softly, "I saw the old headmaster feeding the cat at the edge of the playground at around four o'clock yesterday afternoon. But you just said that he was around eight o'clock in the evening. At that time, he was sent to the hospital, and at that time, he had been dead for nearly seven hours..."

Following her words, Edward's eyes gradually revealed an unbelievable expression.

"From four o'clock in the afternoon to eight o'clock in the evening, how could there be... seven hours?"

If the time of the old headmaster's death was not wrong, then who was that person she saw in school yesterday afternoon?

For a moment, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a while, Laila broke the silence, "Edward, I remember you once said that you have your own information channel?"

There was a hint of clarity on Edward's face, "You want to investigate—"

"Old principal."
