After I collapsed, I became a succubus
Chapter 123 Broken
Lucian had an unspeakable dream.
In the dream, he was still lying on the bed at home, but there was a black shadow covering his mouth, playing with him with something.He was groggy and unable to resist in this inescapable dream.That feeling is like sinking into hell. Compared with joy, it is more the fear of impending death and the torment of being played with.
This dream lasted for a long time.He was tossed and turned until the red moon period finally came to an end.He woke up in a cold sweat, to find that both his body and the mattress under him were soaked.
What shines into the room is the bright morning light.Only then did Lucian know that the crimson moon tide had finally passed.His body was numb, as if the influence of the black shadow was still submerged in his body, and the muscles in his calf were also cramping.
His face was flushed, his breathing was short, and he covered his eyes with his hands and continued to collapse on the bed, continuing to be captured by the fear and tension of those dreams.
When he was finally able to put on his clothes and leave the hut, and took out the letter from the mailbox, he realized that it was actually the sixth day after he entered the hot period.
In the past, there was only a climax period of three or four days, but this time it lasted a full five days.
Lucian returned to the room.He checked the incense ash and hair that he had left to prevent anyone from entering.Those things are well placed where they belong.The interior furnishings have not changed, which means that no one has entered the room while he was unconscious.
"Did you find any traces in the house?" Lucian asked the system.
The system said: "There should be nothing unusual."
That nightmare still remained in every corner of my mind and body, but maybe it was just a nightmare, Lucian thought.
He went back to his room to read the newspaper, smoothing his trembling breath with the tidbits.What he didn't know was that while he was reading the newspaper, a pitch-black crow was perched on the thick shade outside the beautiful garden.Its blood-red eyes watched the unconscious black-haired beauty in the room without saying a word.
……
Two days later, Lucian went to the ball at Miss Emma's house with Dylan who enthusiastically came to pick him up.Dylan had expected Lucian to be shy at the ball, but to his surprise, Lucian seemed very good at handling the situation.He has the utmost elegance and is courteous and courteous to anyone who accosts him.
So the black-haired music teacher soon became the focus of the whole dance.Many beautiful girls invited him to dance with them.After skipping the third dance, Lucian excused his lack of energy and mixed into the crowd with a cocktail.Dylan was also standing beside him.
Lucian's statement that he was exhausted was indeed not a lie.After that terrible nightmare during the heat period, he felt weak and uncontrollably absent-minded.This climax seemed to have not been cleaned up, and the torment in the dream, which made people feel terrified, but was as happy as being thrown into lava, was always submerging his body.This made him occasionally recall the fragments in the past few days, even when he was alone, and shivered violently.
"Hey." A young man came over to greet Lucian, "You're going to be lucky, buddy."
"What?" Dylan was more excited than Lucian.
"Miss Emma is the only daughter of Mr. Selman. If you marry her, you will own a large piece of land in her family. Recently, her family has held so many social dances in order to find a suitable young lady for the lady who is about to get married. To be a fiancé. So I say, you are lucky. Just now Miss Emma removed the fan covering her mouth when she faced you, and she seemed very fond of you. And Miss Emma's mother, "
"Stop talking nonsense about those pretentious things!" Compared to Lucian, Dylan jumped up first, and soon, he realized that he was too emotional, so he blushed, "No, no, I mean, you are so brave Damn Miss Emma's reputation."
"Oh, I forgot. Dylan, your parents are family friends with the Selman family, you won't treat Miss Emma..."
"No, how could it be Emma..."
Lucian was not interested in these undercurrents.Holding a cocktail, he saw that the Selmans (Emma's parents) seemed to be discussing something.Miss Emma seemed very anxious and had been negotiating with her parents.
"...We are the hosts, isn't it a matter of course to bring the guests back?"
"Emma, I have to say, you are a girl, so late..."
Mrs. Dora took the Selmans to smooth things over and whispered something in their ears.Finally, Mrs. Selman showed a helpless look, while Mr. Selman walked towards Lucian and Dylan.
"I'm sorry to disturb the two of you. But something has happened now." Mr. Selman said regretfully, "Emma's cousin Lydia set off here from the next town in the morning, and she was supposed to arrive this evening. Unfortunately, Yes, her carriage overturned on the way here, and she fell and injured herself."
"My God," Dylan said.
"Fortunately, Lord Viscount Oliver—you should have heard of him—just happened to pass by there while hunting and rescued her. Now she is recuperating in Lord Viscount's manor. Lord Viscount sent a messenger and Lydia was injured The lighter coachman is here to report. It will take about an hour to ride from here. I'm sorry to disturb your dance, but Emma insists on getting Lydia back. So..."
"Please rest assured, Uncle Selman. We will protect Miss Emma's safety." Dylan said, "I can drive, let me go!"
Lucian also smiled with the mentality of wanting to avoid dancing, and took the job.
The three quickly set off from Selman's house.Emma sat in the carriage with her maid, and Dylan and Lucian sat outside the carriage respecting the social distance between gentlemen and ladies.It was an hour's journey from the Selman's house in the city to Oliver's estate on the hill.In the evening when it was close to night, there was a misty mist, and there was no sound of people in the woods.
Lucian sat absent-minded the whole time.When he set off from Selman's house to Oliver Manor, his skin seemed to be stimulated by the cold air, and he began to tremble slightly.
It was as if he had a vague feeling that he was being watched when he left the Selman's house—but it was only a momentary illusion.
After several unsuccessful attempts to talk to Lucian, Dylan began to concentrate on driving.Lucian leaned against the car with his eyes closed, and fell asleep unknowingly.
In the dream, another pitch-black figure loomed over him.His spirit seemed to be floating in the sea, unable to respond reliably to external forces.The black shadow's hands imprisoned his body, all the way down.
It's as if he was not dreaming in a drowsy state, but was dragged into a different space by a black shadow in artificial stupor, and was forced to do whatever he wanted.
Everything is still going on.
……
Lucian woke up from the dream.He couldn't control his trembling, his cheeks were flushed, and his legs were numb.He could hear water in his breath.
He couldn't remember what dream he had, and he thought in horror that he had dreamed about the febrile period again and had a reaction.Seeing him suddenly awakened, Dylan asked him, "Lu Sien?"
"I'm fine. Leave me alone."
Lucian's voice was hoarse.He tried his best to suppress the abnormality in his body, and after looking up and seeing the carved iron gate not far away, he said softly: "Are we...arrived?"
"Well. Here we are."
Oliver Manor is behind the iron gate.By moonlight, its buildings look like monsters lurking in the shadows.Miss Emma's maid opened the curtain and exclaimed after seeing everything in front of her eyes: "Oliver Manor is really big and beautiful..."
She meant the vast, moonlit garden.
The guards at the gate saw them coming.Miss Emma expressed her intention in words.After a short wait, the butler came out from the manor.The butler ordered the coachman in the manor to park the carriage in the shed and invited several people to come in.
"Miss Lydia is waiting for you in the manor." He said to Miss Emma, and asked for the names of the other two.
Lucian gave a fake name.He followed the butler inside.Somehow, the vague chill and uneasiness on his back grew stronger after approaching this manor, even though the garden under the moonlight was extremely beautiful.The garden is dominated by white, purple and blue flowers, occasionally dotted with pink or orange flowers.Emma was amazed by the beauty of the garden, and asked the housekeeper, "I have seen almost all the flowers here, but why do you plant white roses instead of red ones?"
"Master doesn't like red flowers." The butler said with a smile.
The butler explained his dislike of red by citing a master-versus-human experience.Emma's eyes sparkled when she heard the story of joining the army.She said from the bottom of her heart: "Viscount Oliver is really a hero."
The butler smiled.
The butler wore eyes with a single metal frame, and his appearance was so ordinary that he had no distinctive features.While smiling at Miss Emma, he also turned his face and passed the smile to Lucian and Dylan.
The moment their eyes met, Lucian smelled the rich fragrance of flowers in the garden.The fragrance of flowers is like a veil, wrapping him layer by layer.
At that moment, he somehow recalled the entanglement with the shadow in his dream a few days ago.
"Well!"
"Lu Sien, what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Dylan hurriedly wanted to support Lucian's body, but when his hand touched Lucian's arm, he felt that Lucian's whole body was feeling weak and hot.
"...I'm fine." Lucian said as if he was enduring something, "Don't worry about me."
"Lucen..."
"The mountain road on this road is very bumpy, and it's normal to feel uncomfortable." The butler's voice was very understanding, "After you get to the room, sit for a while, and you'll feel much better."
Even after the butler said this, Dylan was still worried.The three entered the room together.There was a fireplace in the room, and a girl in a dark blue dress was sitting on the sofa.
Emma only saw her profile.In fact, Emma and her cousin have not seen each other for seven years.She hesitated, "Lydia?"
Lydia turned her face back, she blinked her beautiful eyes, and said in surprise, "Emma?"
It must be admitted that Lydia was a beautiful girl.Her beauty was a bit more charming in her purity, and the sea blue dress made her look like a mermaid from the sea.After confirming the identities of both parties, Emma happily went up to hug her.The two girls sat together and whispered, Lucian sat on the sofa on the other side because he was uncomfortable.
Dylan looked at his abnormally flushed cheeks, feeling a little anxious.He then thanked the butler, "May I ask Mr. Viscount Oliver...? We would like to thank him in person."
The butler told his servants to look for it.Not long after, the servant said: "The viscount is upstairs. He is dealing with a business and cannot get away for the time being. He said that if you want to thank him in person, you can come to the study to find him."
"Oh, but my friend..." Dylan looked at Lucian with a little apology in his eyes.
"It's okay, the master is a very arrogant person." The butler smiled, "You can go up with Miss Emma and Miss Lydia."
"But..." Dylan thought he couldn't leave Lucian, who was in a bad state, here alone.
"Let's go up with Lydia," said Emma.
The two girls went upstairs together.One of them was wearing a yellow skirt and the other was wearing a blue skirt, which looked pleasing to the eye.Dylan sat on the sofa next to Lucian, looking at him worriedly.
Lucian's current state is really strange.He clutched the trousers on his lap and seemed to be inhaling slightly.
At this moment, Dylan heard a voice from the other side: "Mr. Dylan, these are Miss Lydia's luggage, do you need to come over and check?"
In addition to the viscount's servant, there is also Lydia's maid.The luggage was on the other side of the hall, so Dylan got up to check it.The housekeeper nodded and said, "Don't worry, if something happens to Mr. Lu Sien, I will find you as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
After Dylan disappeared, the butler slightly raised the corners of his lips.Lucian, who was originally on the sofa, seemed to have fallen into a deeper nightmare. He twitched and couldn't help feeling dizzy.
Since entering this manor, Lucian has always had a very strange feeling.Maybe it's because the scent of flowers is too strong, maybe it's because it's too bumpy, maybe it's because of the chaotic fragments and memories of the previous few days... He felt dizzy, weak, and his body was bad.
"You may have caught a cold." The butler whispered in his ear, "I asked someone to prepare a cup of ginger tea."
He clapped his hands, and the servant brought ginger tea.The cup of ginger tea was a reddish amber color and smelled very enticing.The attendant handed him to Lucian's lips, and Lucian sat on the sofa, a little dizzy and said: "...No need."
"No need? But you look like you're about to catch a cold."
One hand supported Lucian's head from behind, while the other stroked his forehead.Lucian trembled, and the butler who made the move said in a low voice, "Mr. Lusien, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but your forehead is very hot."
"I said no...!" Lucian suddenly stood up.
"Okay." said the butler, "put the ginger tea down."
The servant put the ginger tea on the tea table and left as quietly as when he came.
"It's such a cold day, but you go to the mountain with so little clothes. Mr. Lu Sien, you will catch a cold." The housekeeper said sadly.
Lucian turned around and stared at him coldly.The butler still had an innocent look on his face.He shrugged and said, "I'm sorry for offending you just now..."
"Lucen, let's go!"
Dylan's voice interrupted the scene, and Miss Emma and Miss Lydia who had returned after thanking him were also behind him.Dylan ran in from outside, shivering, "It's too cold outside, I forgot to wear my coat..."
As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it.Lucian had no time to stop him, so he drank the cup of ginger tea as his own tea cow.
"It's ginger tea? When did ginger tea...cough cough cough..." Dylan coughed for a while, and Emma said dissatisfiedly from behind: "Don't play tricks, if you don't go back, it's really not suitable for you to go back."
"Okay, let's go." Dylan said.
Lucian kept staring at Dylan closely.But that cup of ginger tea seemed to be just an ordinary cup of ginger tea, and there was nothing unusual about Dylan.Dylan drove the carriage, and the four girls sat in the carriage.Lucian then sat next to Dylan, and saw the butler bowing and smiling at them at the door.
"Good luck to you all," he said with a smile.
There was nothing odd about his smile.
The carriage left Oliver Manor, and also the dull fragrance that swept the whole garden.Lucian leaned against the carriage in a drowsy state, until he returned to Selman's house when he woke up from his dream with a jolt.
The Selmans hugged them hard and thanked them for their help.Lydia and Emma threw themselves into Mrs. Selman's arms.Lucian entertained them with a smile, and sat on the sofa, but felt that his eyelids were getting heavy.
My head is groggy.Finally, he saw Lydia coming towards him.The girl in the blue skirt is pure and beautiful.She lowered her body and put the back of her hand on Lucian's forehead.
The back of her hand was icy and cold, but at that moment, Lucian seemed to feel that there was something delicate... something on it.
"Lu Sien." She lowered her head and said softly, "You... are sick."
……
Lucian came back from the dance with a high fever.
The Selmans were very guilty of causing Lucian to get sick, they found the best doctor in the town for him, and sent a lot of condolences.Even so, Lucian fell asleep for a whole week because of the fever.Sometimes he wakes up, sometimes he sleeps.The doctor said that he had caught a cold on the bumpy road.
During this period, he asked the system, but the answer given by the system was also sick.
just sick.
"Then what about that manor?" Lucian said, "That Oliver manor, I always think it's weird. Have you scanned it?"
"There is nothing weird there, Lucian." The system said, "I scanned it, and all you met were ordinary people without mana—oh, and there is another place, that is, the aromas of two kinds of flowers are mixed in those flowers, It may have a stimulating effect on the succubus's physique. But this may be a coincidence. It's just a coincidence that you just passed the hot period, danced vigorously at the ball, and then caught cold in the carriage, without drinking hot water... "
Lucian: ...
But is this really a coincidence?he thinks.
Everything is as tight as fate and full of coincidences.
Finally, on the seventh day, Lucian's fever gradually subsided.After regaining his strength a little, he drank the potion and went out to water the flowers lazily, feeling the freshness of nature under the warm sunshine.When he put away the kettle and went back, he heard an ecstatic voice outside the door: "Lu Sien... are you finally healed?"
Lucian turned to see Dylan.He smiled at him and said, "Not bad."
"Oh..." Dylan smiled at him, "That's really great."
Dylan passed by here by chance, and happened to bump into Lucian who was just recovering from a serious illness.This time he was not as talkative as before, and he always pulled Lucian to talk about some interesting things about the small town.He looked preoccupied.Lucian frowned slightly, and said, "What happened, Dylan."
"I……"
"You look like you're bothered about something."
Dylan finally sighed and said, "Several girls in the city have disappeared recently, including Anne and Betty... Their family, parents and friends are very worried, but they don't know where they went."
For some reason, Lucian felt a chill down his spine.Dylan then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you these unhappy things. You have a good rest!"
In the evening, Lucian went out and passed Bob's bakery.Bob was still standing in front of the door. When he saw Lucien coming, he said happily to him, "Good afternoon, Mr. Lusien, the weather is fine today. Did you just come back from outside the city? Or from a student's house?"
"Good afternoon, Master Bob." Lucian said.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that this scene was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell the reason.Then he heard Bob say happily, "Would you like some toast? Fresh from the oven?"
"I don't think..."
Lucian remembered!
This conversation... seems to have happened two weeks ago.This was the last conversation he had with Master Bob, not a word was wrong.
At that moment Lucian turned his head back with horror.He saw Master Bob looking at him, grinning and staring at him with dark eyes.
"Would you like some toast? Fresh from the oven?"
He said.
He repeated it again.
When the bread is baked, there will always be that pleasant, soft, warm and fragrant aroma in the bakery... But when Lucian looked into the bakery, he saw only a quiet shop with no aroma .
No baked bread.
"I don't think so." Lu Xi said quietly, he turned around and continued walking.
Behind him, Master Bob was still standing at the door in a naive manner, smiling and bending his eyes, watching his back as he left.
Lucian walked faster and faster.On the way, he met Mrs. Dora who greeted him warmly.Mrs. Dora said to him, "Did the muffins taste good last time? Do you like chocolate or plum?"
"It's all good." Lucian said.
There are still beautiful wisterias blooming in the block.
He went home and closed the door.At that moment, all the hustle and bustle and weirdness were isolated from the room.Lucian closed his eyes and breathed hard.
"System." Lucian said, "What was Bob just now?"
"What?" The system's voice was confused, "I observed him...he is a human being? A living person, Lucian, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
"...It's nothing." Lucian said.
He blinked hard and looked around the room.The furnishing of the entrance has not changed at all.He leaned against the wall and walked carefully into the living room.Lucian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the empty sofa.
He sat back on the sofa, thinking about Master Bob he saw today.
He couldn't think of a clue, but vaguely felt that it was pointing in one direction.
He sat here until night, and couldn't help falling asleep.Finally, the next morning, Lucian woke up from the sofa and heard a knock on the door.
"Lucen! Lucen!" Dylan's panicked voice came from outside the door, "It's not good! It's not good!"
"Emma...is missing too!!"
In the dream, he was still lying on the bed at home, but there was a black shadow covering his mouth, playing with him with something.He was groggy and unable to resist in this inescapable dream.That feeling is like sinking into hell. Compared with joy, it is more the fear of impending death and the torment of being played with.
This dream lasted for a long time.He was tossed and turned until the red moon period finally came to an end.He woke up in a cold sweat, to find that both his body and the mattress under him were soaked.
What shines into the room is the bright morning light.Only then did Lucian know that the crimson moon tide had finally passed.His body was numb, as if the influence of the black shadow was still submerged in his body, and the muscles in his calf were also cramping.
His face was flushed, his breathing was short, and he covered his eyes with his hands and continued to collapse on the bed, continuing to be captured by the fear and tension of those dreams.
When he was finally able to put on his clothes and leave the hut, and took out the letter from the mailbox, he realized that it was actually the sixth day after he entered the hot period.
In the past, there was only a climax period of three or four days, but this time it lasted a full five days.
Lucian returned to the room.He checked the incense ash and hair that he had left to prevent anyone from entering.Those things are well placed where they belong.The interior furnishings have not changed, which means that no one has entered the room while he was unconscious.
"Did you find any traces in the house?" Lucian asked the system.
The system said: "There should be nothing unusual."
That nightmare still remained in every corner of my mind and body, but maybe it was just a nightmare, Lucian thought.
He went back to his room to read the newspaper, smoothing his trembling breath with the tidbits.What he didn't know was that while he was reading the newspaper, a pitch-black crow was perched on the thick shade outside the beautiful garden.Its blood-red eyes watched the unconscious black-haired beauty in the room without saying a word.
……
Two days later, Lucian went to the ball at Miss Emma's house with Dylan who enthusiastically came to pick him up.Dylan had expected Lucian to be shy at the ball, but to his surprise, Lucian seemed very good at handling the situation.He has the utmost elegance and is courteous and courteous to anyone who accosts him.
So the black-haired music teacher soon became the focus of the whole dance.Many beautiful girls invited him to dance with them.After skipping the third dance, Lucian excused his lack of energy and mixed into the crowd with a cocktail.Dylan was also standing beside him.
Lucian's statement that he was exhausted was indeed not a lie.After that terrible nightmare during the heat period, he felt weak and uncontrollably absent-minded.This climax seemed to have not been cleaned up, and the torment in the dream, which made people feel terrified, but was as happy as being thrown into lava, was always submerging his body.This made him occasionally recall the fragments in the past few days, even when he was alone, and shivered violently.
"Hey." A young man came over to greet Lucian, "You're going to be lucky, buddy."
"What?" Dylan was more excited than Lucian.
"Miss Emma is the only daughter of Mr. Selman. If you marry her, you will own a large piece of land in her family. Recently, her family has held so many social dances in order to find a suitable young lady for the lady who is about to get married. To be a fiancé. So I say, you are lucky. Just now Miss Emma removed the fan covering her mouth when she faced you, and she seemed very fond of you. And Miss Emma's mother, "
"Stop talking nonsense about those pretentious things!" Compared to Lucian, Dylan jumped up first, and soon, he realized that he was too emotional, so he blushed, "No, no, I mean, you are so brave Damn Miss Emma's reputation."
"Oh, I forgot. Dylan, your parents are family friends with the Selman family, you won't treat Miss Emma..."
"No, how could it be Emma..."
Lucian was not interested in these undercurrents.Holding a cocktail, he saw that the Selmans (Emma's parents) seemed to be discussing something.Miss Emma seemed very anxious and had been negotiating with her parents.
"...We are the hosts, isn't it a matter of course to bring the guests back?"
"Emma, I have to say, you are a girl, so late..."
Mrs. Dora took the Selmans to smooth things over and whispered something in their ears.Finally, Mrs. Selman showed a helpless look, while Mr. Selman walked towards Lucian and Dylan.
"I'm sorry to disturb the two of you. But something has happened now." Mr. Selman said regretfully, "Emma's cousin Lydia set off here from the next town in the morning, and she was supposed to arrive this evening. Unfortunately, Yes, her carriage overturned on the way here, and she fell and injured herself."
"My God," Dylan said.
"Fortunately, Lord Viscount Oliver—you should have heard of him—just happened to pass by there while hunting and rescued her. Now she is recuperating in Lord Viscount's manor. Lord Viscount sent a messenger and Lydia was injured The lighter coachman is here to report. It will take about an hour to ride from here. I'm sorry to disturb your dance, but Emma insists on getting Lydia back. So..."
"Please rest assured, Uncle Selman. We will protect Miss Emma's safety." Dylan said, "I can drive, let me go!"
Lucian also smiled with the mentality of wanting to avoid dancing, and took the job.
The three quickly set off from Selman's house.Emma sat in the carriage with her maid, and Dylan and Lucian sat outside the carriage respecting the social distance between gentlemen and ladies.It was an hour's journey from the Selman's house in the city to Oliver's estate on the hill.In the evening when it was close to night, there was a misty mist, and there was no sound of people in the woods.
Lucian sat absent-minded the whole time.When he set off from Selman's house to Oliver Manor, his skin seemed to be stimulated by the cold air, and he began to tremble slightly.
It was as if he had a vague feeling that he was being watched when he left the Selman's house—but it was only a momentary illusion.

It's as if he was not dreaming in a drowsy state, but was dragged into a different space by a black shadow in artificial stupor, and was forced to do whatever he wanted.
Everything is still going on.
……
Lucian woke up from the dream.He couldn't control his trembling, his cheeks were flushed, and his legs were numb.He could hear water in his breath.
He couldn't remember what dream he had, and he thought in horror that he had dreamed about the febrile period again and had a reaction.Seeing him suddenly awakened, Dylan asked him, "Lu Sien?"
"I'm fine. Leave me alone."
Lucian's voice was hoarse.He tried his best to suppress the abnormality in his body, and after looking up and seeing the carved iron gate not far away, he said softly: "Are we...arrived?"
"Well. Here we are."
Oliver Manor is behind the iron gate.By moonlight, its buildings look like monsters lurking in the shadows.Miss Emma's maid opened the curtain and exclaimed after seeing everything in front of her eyes: "Oliver Manor is really big and beautiful..."
She meant the vast, moonlit garden.
The guards at the gate saw them coming.Miss Emma expressed her intention in words.After a short wait, the butler came out from the manor.The butler ordered the coachman in the manor to park the carriage in the shed and invited several people to come in.
"Miss Lydia is waiting for you in the manor." He said to Miss Emma, and asked for the names of the other two.

At that moment, he somehow recalled the entanglement with the shadow in his dream a few days ago.
"Well!"
"Lu Sien, what's the matter with you? Are you uncomfortable?"
Dylan hurriedly wanted to support Lucian's body, but when his hand touched Lucian's arm, he felt that Lucian's whole body was feeling weak and hot.
"...I'm fine." Lucian said as if he was enduring something, "Don't worry about me."
"Lucen..."
"The mountain road on this road is very bumpy, and it's normal to feel uncomfortable." The butler's voice was very understanding, "After you get to the room, sit for a while, and you'll feel much better."
Even after the butler said this, Dylan was still worried.The three entered the room together.There was a fireplace in the room, and a girl in a dark blue dress was sitting on the sofa.
Emma only saw her profile.In fact, Emma and her cousin have not seen each other for seven years.She hesitated, "Lydia?"
Lydia turned her face back, she blinked her beautiful eyes, and said in surprise, "Emma?"
It must be admitted that Lydia was a beautiful girl.Her beauty was a bit more charming in her purity, and the sea blue dress made her look like a mermaid from the sea.After confirming the identities of both parties, Emma happily went up to hug her.The two girls sat together and whispered, Lucian sat on the sofa on the other side because he was uncomfortable.
Dylan looked at his abnormally flushed cheeks, feeling a little anxious.He then thanked the butler, "May I ask Mr. Viscount Oliver...? We would like to thank him in person."
The butler told his servants to look for it.Not long after, the servant said: "The viscount is upstairs. He is dealing with a business and cannot get away for the time being. He said that if you want to thank him in person, you can come to the study to find him."
"Oh, but my friend..." Dylan looked at Lucian with a little apology in his eyes.
"It's okay, the master is a very arrogant person." The butler smiled, "You can go up with Miss Emma and Miss Lydia."
"But..." Dylan thought he couldn't leave Lucian, who was in a bad state, here alone.
"Let's go up with Lydia," said Emma.
The two girls went upstairs together.One of them was wearing a yellow skirt and the other was wearing a blue skirt, which looked pleasing to the eye.Dylan sat on the sofa next to Lucian, looking at him worriedly.
Lucian's current state is really strange.He clutched the trousers on his lap and seemed to be inhaling slightly.
At this moment, Dylan heard a voice from the other side: "Mr. Dylan, these are Miss Lydia's luggage, do you need to come over and check?"
In addition to the viscount's servant, there is also Lydia's maid.The luggage was on the other side of the hall, so Dylan got up to check it.The housekeeper nodded and said, "Don't worry, if something happens to Mr. Lu Sien, I will find you as soon as possible."
"Thank you."
After Dylan disappeared, the butler slightly raised the corners of his lips.Lucian, who was originally on the sofa, seemed to have fallen into a deeper nightmare. He twitched and couldn't help feeling dizzy.
Since entering this manor, Lucian has always had a very strange feeling.Maybe it's because the scent of flowers is too strong, maybe it's because it's too bumpy, maybe it's because of the chaotic fragments and memories of the previous few days... He felt dizzy, weak, and his body was bad.
"You may have caught a cold." The butler whispered in his ear, "I asked someone to prepare a cup of ginger tea."
He clapped his hands, and the servant brought ginger tea.The cup of ginger tea was a reddish amber color and smelled very enticing.The attendant handed him to Lucian's lips, and Lucian sat on the sofa, a little dizzy and said: "...No need."
"No need? But you look like you're about to catch a cold."
One hand supported Lucian's head from behind, while the other stroked his forehead.Lucian trembled, and the butler who made the move said in a low voice, "Mr. Lusien, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but your forehead is very hot."
"I said no...!" Lucian suddenly stood up.
"Okay." said the butler, "put the ginger tea down."
The servant put the ginger tea on the tea table and left as quietly as when he came.
"It's such a cold day, but you go to the mountain with so little clothes. Mr. Lu Sien, you will catch a cold." The housekeeper said sadly.
Lucian turned around and stared at him coldly.The butler still had an innocent look on his face.He shrugged and said, "I'm sorry for offending you just now..."
"Lucen, let's go!"
Dylan's voice interrupted the scene, and Miss Emma and Miss Lydia who had returned after thanking him were also behind him.Dylan ran in from outside, shivering, "It's too cold outside, I forgot to wear my coat..."
As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea and drank it.Lucian had no time to stop him, so he drank the cup of ginger tea as his own tea cow.
"It's ginger tea? When did ginger tea...cough cough cough..." Dylan coughed for a while, and Emma said dissatisfiedly from behind: "Don't play tricks, if you don't go back, it's really not suitable for you to go back."
"Okay, let's go." Dylan said.
Lucian kept staring at Dylan closely.But that cup of ginger tea seemed to be just an ordinary cup of ginger tea, and there was nothing unusual about Dylan.Dylan drove the carriage, and the four girls sat in the carriage.Lucian then sat next to Dylan, and saw the butler bowing and smiling at them at the door.
"Good luck to you all," he said with a smile.
There was nothing odd about his smile.
The carriage left Oliver Manor, and also the dull fragrance that swept the whole garden.Lucian leaned against the carriage in a drowsy state, until he returned to Selman's house when he woke up from his dream with a jolt.
The Selmans hugged them hard and thanked them for their help.Lydia and Emma threw themselves into Mrs. Selman's arms.Lucian entertained them with a smile, and sat on the sofa, but felt that his eyelids were getting heavy.
My head is groggy.Finally, he saw Lydia coming towards him.The girl in the blue skirt is pure and beautiful.She lowered her body and put the back of her hand on Lucian's forehead.
The back of her hand was icy and cold, but at that moment, Lucian seemed to feel that there was something delicate... something on it.
"Lu Sien." She lowered her head and said softly, "You... are sick."
……
Lucian came back from the dance with a high fever.
The Selmans were very guilty of causing Lucian to get sick, they found the best doctor in the town for him, and sent a lot of condolences.Even so, Lucian fell asleep for a whole week because of the fever.Sometimes he wakes up, sometimes he sleeps.The doctor said that he had caught a cold on the bumpy road.
During this period, he asked the system, but the answer given by the system was also sick.
just sick.
"Then what about that manor?" Lucian said, "That Oliver manor, I always think it's weird. Have you scanned it?"
"There is nothing weird there, Lucian." The system said, "I scanned it, and all you met were ordinary people without mana—oh, and there is another place, that is, the aromas of two kinds of flowers are mixed in those flowers, It may have a stimulating effect on the succubus's physique. But this may be a coincidence. It's just a coincidence that you just passed the hot period, danced vigorously at the ball, and then caught cold in the carriage, without drinking hot water... "
Lucian: ...
But is this really a coincidence?he thinks.
Everything is as tight as fate and full of coincidences.
Finally, on the seventh day, Lucian's fever gradually subsided.After regaining his strength a little, he drank the potion and went out to water the flowers lazily, feeling the freshness of nature under the warm sunshine.When he put away the kettle and went back, he heard an ecstatic voice outside the door: "Lu Sien... are you finally healed?"
Lucian turned to see Dylan.He smiled at him and said, "Not bad."
"Oh..." Dylan smiled at him, "That's really great."
Dylan passed by here by chance, and happened to bump into Lucian who was just recovering from a serious illness.This time he was not as talkative as before, and he always pulled Lucian to talk about some interesting things about the small town.He looked preoccupied.Lucian frowned slightly, and said, "What happened, Dylan."
"I……"
"You look like you're bothered about something."
Dylan finally sighed and said, "Several girls in the city have disappeared recently, including Anne and Betty... Their family, parents and friends are very worried, but they don't know where they went."
For some reason, Lucian felt a chill down his spine.Dylan then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't tell you these unhappy things. You have a good rest!"
In the evening, Lucian went out and passed Bob's bakery.Bob was still standing in front of the door. When he saw Lucien coming, he said happily to him, "Good afternoon, Mr. Lusien, the weather is fine today. Did you just come back from outside the city? Or from a student's house?"
"Good afternoon, Master Bob." Lucian said.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that this scene was a bit weird, but he couldn't tell the reason.Then he heard Bob say happily, "Would you like some toast? Fresh from the oven?"
"I don't think..."
Lucian remembered!
This conversation... seems to have happened two weeks ago.This was the last conversation he had with Master Bob, not a word was wrong.
At that moment Lucian turned his head back with horror.He saw Master Bob looking at him, grinning and staring at him with dark eyes.
"Would you like some toast? Fresh from the oven?"
He said.
He repeated it again.
When the bread is baked, there will always be that pleasant, soft, warm and fragrant aroma in the bakery... But when Lucian looked into the bakery, he saw only a quiet shop with no aroma .
No baked bread.
"I don't think so." Lu Xi said quietly, he turned around and continued walking.
Behind him, Master Bob was still standing at the door in a naive manner, smiling and bending his eyes, watching his back as he left.
Lucian walked faster and faster.On the way, he met Mrs. Dora who greeted him warmly.Mrs. Dora said to him, "Did the muffins taste good last time? Do you like chocolate or plum?"
"It's all good." Lucian said.
There are still beautiful wisterias blooming in the block.
He went home and closed the door.At that moment, all the hustle and bustle and weirdness were isolated from the room.Lucian closed his eyes and breathed hard.
"System." Lucian said, "What was Bob just now?"
"What?" The system's voice was confused, "I observed him...he is a human being? A living person, Lucian, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
"...It's nothing." Lucian said.
He blinked hard and looked around the room.The furnishing of the entrance has not changed at all.He leaned against the wall and walked carefully into the living room.Lucian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the empty sofa.
He sat back on the sofa, thinking about Master Bob he saw today.
He couldn't think of a clue, but vaguely felt that it was pointing in one direction.
He sat here until night, and couldn't help falling asleep.Finally, the next morning, Lucian woke up from the sofa and heard a knock on the door.
"Lucen! Lucen!" Dylan's panicked voice came from outside the door, "It's not good! It's not good!"
"Emma...is missing too!!"
