Assisting the male partner, he took the female lead route

??Moonlight came through the window and fell on the somewhat dim corridor, leaving pieces of neatly divided ground.

?? Lu Yu walked to Guan Lin's side in two or three steps, walked alongside him, and began to explain on his own:

"Just now Miss Nina wanted to give me a token from the Earl's family. It's too expensive, so I didn't want it."

?? "She yearns for the Holy See very much. You said before that she has a certain talent for learning light spells. She is quite suitable to join you. I was wondering if I could take her with me on some less dangerous things and let her exercise one time."

?? "Of course, I was too self-assessed about this matter and didn't discuss it with you. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll refuse it tomorrow..."

??"you like her?"

?? Guan Lin stopped suddenly, turned his head slightly, and looked into Lu Yu's eyes.

??Lu Yu answered the truth almost subconsciously: "I treat her as my younger sister."

?? After he finished speaking, he almost slapped himself - what kind of classic reply is this?!Seafood is too strong!

??Although he really thought so, when he said this, he thought about the reactions of his countless exes, and it was [-]% that something would happen.

?? But Guan Lin just nodded after hearing his sea-like answer, "Yeah."

?? Lu Yu froze in place.He could tell that Guan Lin really believed his answer.

?? He belatedly remembered that he and Guan Lin are just ordinary friends now. Guan Lin, who has such a mild personality, would ask such a question on a whim, and it does not mean that Guan Lin himself is really will care.

?? But just now, he had an inexplicable expectation in his heart—expectation that Guan Lin might ask the bottom line, might get angry, might be more indifferent to him, and in short, he could show a little more to this matter and to him. care about.

??But after all, he is just an ordinary friend who has known Guan Lin for more than half a month. Even in his social life in his previous life, there are very few friends who have known each other for such a short time. Guan Lin has a dull personality.

?? Just because he is used to the single arrow, he always tends to think wildly.

?? Having figured it out, Lu Yu immediately felt relieved, but he was also a little disappointed, but he heard His Highness the Holy Son next to him say: "Go back to the Holy See branch tomorrow, and let her learn the most basic light spells with the nuns."

?? "I'm going to go to John's house to investigate... There can't be too many people."

?? Lu Yu's eyes lit up: "Then I'll be with you?"

?? He saw Guan Lin nodded.

?? Lu Yu's mood suddenly rose again, and with the curvature of his lips, the little deer in his heart tap danced.

?? It happened that Guan Lin's guest room arrived, and their rooms were not adjacent to each other, so Lu Yu watched Bai Bai enter the room.The moonlight outside the window was shining on half of his body, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly grabbed it from his pocket, grabbed Guan Lin before the door was closed, and stuffed the thing he grabbed into his hand.

??Guan Lin lowered his head in a daze, looking at his empty palms, feeling a little confused.

?? "Good night, Your Highness," Lu Yu smiled slyly, "I will send you a moonlight."

?? -

??The next day, everyone in the Holy See and a traveler with a tow bottle bid farewell to Earl Simpson and came to the Holy See branch in the city.

??Although there is a church in front of the Holy See branch, as long as you don't go in, the road area will have no effect.He looked at the shabby small courtyard provided by the Holy See branch in front of him, recalled the warm spring-like guest room in the Earl's mansion, and couldn't help asking Bishop Sarn next to him:

"Has Lord Guangming always treated his followers so harshly?"

?? Saen blew his beard and stared: "This is called incorruptibility! Don't make unreasonable remarks about the God of Light, you evil cultist!"

?? Lu Yu clicked his tongue: "Where am I evil? I am a believer. I have been loyal to His Royal Highness the Son all the way."

?? He spoke very cleverly, it was to Guan Lin, not to the God of Light.

?? After all, the sky and the earth are not as big as the wife's biggest, and the God of Light is nothing.

?? Nina told her father about learning the spell of light, and she followed the nun to the church.After Lu Yu quarreled with Bishop Sarn, he threw all his luggage into the room and leaned against the gate of the yard, waiting for the figure he was thinking about to appear.

?? Who knows that what came out was not the usual white, but the ordinary dress of green and gray, no different from those common people in the city. The only thing that stood out was Guan Lin's always eye-catching appearance.

?? But Lu Yu looked at it with gusto, with a happy expression in his eyebrows and eyes. It was the first time he saw His Highness the Son dressed in clothes other than the monk's clothes. Sure enough, some people are born clothes hangers, no matter how ordinary they are. It can also wear a different flavor, so that he can't move his eyes.

?? Guan Lin straightened his cuffs and came to his side: "Let's go."

"Your Highness," Lu Yu asked, "how do you usually change into your regular clothes?"

?? Although he obtained the right to call him by his first name from Guan Lin, it may be a habit developed in the illusion, he still likes to call Guan Lin His Highness.It's just that when others call His Highness, it is more or less respectful, but Lu Yu's feeling is completely different from others.

?? It was a long time before Guan Lin realized that when Lu Yu called him His Highness, the syllables between his lips and teeth were vaguely ambiguous, containing countless days and nights of yearning and longing, as if he was ready to swallow him up in the next second.

?? At this time, he naturally couldn't hear anything, and just answered casually: "It's convenient."

?? Lu Yu realized that Guan Lin probably felt that choosing clothes every day was too troublesome and not conducive to efficient demon removal, so he simply wore the uniform. Today, in order to inquire about the news, he changed into ordinary clothes in a low-key manner.

?? Your Highness is really a dedicated Holy See person who loves work.

??John's family runs a small tailor shop, which is small and located in a street that looks old.

??John's father went out to look for John today. Only his mother was in the store. Lu Yu and Guan Lin went up to the second floor.

??John's room is in the innermost room on the second floor. John's mother brought them here and went downstairs to grieve alone.

?? Lu Yu stood in front of Guan Lin and opened the door first.I saw that the small room was in a mess, with everything on the floor, books, slingshots, orange peels, and a pot of cactus in the corner that seemed to be dying.The quilt on the bed was a mess, smelly socks and pajamas were scattered, and the drawers of the desk were not closed properly.

?? "He didn't expect that he wouldn't come back."

?? Guan Lin said.

??Children at this age are mostly rebellious. They don’t pay attention to results when they do things, but rather pursue process and excitement, so it is normal to go astray.This ignorant naivety made them feel extremely weak about danger, so they could almost imagine that when John went out that night, he thought it was just a party that was no different from usual, and he didn't even bother to tidy up the room. He changed his clothes casually and left the house.

?? Lu Yu walked around the room: "Disappeared five days ago... the day we were attacked by the illusion. The timing of his disappearance is a bit too coincidental. Is it possible that other people disappeared five days ago? gone?"

?? "There is no news in the city," Guan Lin checked the clues in the surrounding chaos, "If large-scale disappearances occur at the same time, it will definitely cause commotion." Just like Nina, who was robbed by a group of demons at the same time .

??They checked John's room carefully, without missing a single corner. Lu Yu even found out from an old dictionary the young man's half-written love letter, which seemed to be written to the flower shop next door. Little girl, your face is like a red apple, and your eyes are like shining stars in the sky...

??Simple and naive, I haven't dared to send it out yet.

??He put the dictionary back to its original place and said to Guan Lin, "I haven't found anything here."

?? Guan Lin just closed the messy drawers one by one, and patted the dust on his cuffs: "Well, me too."

??The only clue left by young John is the devil's blood pendant. This bit of information is obviously not enough.After leaving John's house, they followed the guidance given by John's mother and came to another house with an old house.

?? This is the home of the young John's friend.

?? Lu Yu knocked on the courtyard door, and a girl's cheerful voice came from the hut inside: "Is my brother back?"

??The little girl in her early teens leaned on a blind cane and walked out the door briskly. She walked down the three steps skillfully, but did not get the expected response. She hesitated: "Is it a guest?"

??She has a daffodil-like face, with a cuteness in her beauty, but her beautiful eyes are gray, and she seems to be unable to see.

?? "Hello, Miss," Guan Lin replied, "We are from the Holy See, and we are here to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of John Gordon and Bel Lemond."

?? "Missing?" The little girl was stunned, apparently not understanding what they were talking about, "Brother is missing? And Brother John..."

?? "Carrie, come back."

?? There were a few light coughs in the room, and a gentle female voice came: "You two lords of the Holy See, please come in."

??It was a kind and dignified middle-aged woman. She was sitting in an old wooden wheelchair, looking very gentle. Time had left fine lines in the corners of her eyes, but the beauty that could not be erased by time was still visible.

?? The little girl Carrie, leaning on her blind cane, brought a shawl from the side and put it on her mother caressingly.

?? As a demon, Lu Yu can more sensitively perceive the heartbeat, breath and emotional changes of human beings. Although the woman in front of him is smiling, there is a trace of extremely deep sadness on her body.

?? "Bell has disappeared for five days."

The woman said softly: "On that night five days ago, he went out with a small package and never came back. This was given to me by him before. He hid this letter in his room. of."

?? She lifted the things covered by the handkerchief on the table, a pendant that was exactly the same as the one that John's father took out, and a pure black envelope.

??The woman tells the story of the family.She used to be a song and dance actress when she was young, and she had many suitors, but she fell in love with that ordinary man in everyone's eyes. That man was her childhood sweetheart since she was a child. No matter how you say it, you can't shake this sincere feeling.

?? But later because of a stage accident, she could no longer stand up and continue her career as an actress.Her husband still treats her as before, and they also gave birth to the crystallization of love, Bell and Carrie.Carrie was born blind, and because of the aftereffects of the performance accident, her body has been very weak and she needs to take medicine for a long time.In order to maintain the family's expenses, her husband went to work in a distant town and did not come back several times a year. Only a letter from home and coins sent over replaced his absence at home.

?? However, since last year, the letters have been broken.The woman firmly believed that her husband would not disappoint the family, and worried that something had happened to him, and even wanted to go to the next city to look for him in person despite her weakness.At this time, her son Bell, who was always obedient and sensible, had a big fight with her, thinking that the man had abandoned them, and since then, she talked less and less at home.

"My income from weaving and Bell's apprenticeship salary were not enough to support the family's expenses," the woman sighed softly, "until one day, the child came home with a pale face, smiled and took a bag The money was handed over to me, together with the pendant that said it could 'protect peace'. He thought I didn't see it...the wound on the inside of his arm that was covered by the sleeve was so dark, it must have bled a lot."

?? "I questioned him many times later, but he just said that he would not let me take care of it. Until five days ago...he never came back."

?? Speaking of this, her eyes were red: "I'm sorry... I'm an incompetent mother... I'm sorry Carrie, my mother didn't want to hide it from you, but I just didn't want you to worry..."

?? Carrie was already sobbing. She flung herself into her mother's arms, her small shoulders trembling.

The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, suppressed her sadness, and forced a smile: "My lords, thank you for investigating this child. If... that child really did something wrong, please forgive me Is he this time? He's a good boy, and whatever he does, it's for me and Carrie."

?? Lu Yu and Guan Lin looked at each other, put the things away, and said hello.

?? When they left the yard, Carrie sent them out. The little girl still had tears in her eyes, but she gave them a very hard smile: "Mom said that no matter what happens, you have to laugh. Face it."

?? "Goodbye, my lords!" She waved her hand without a cane vigorously, and raised the corners of her lips desperately.

?? Guan Lin suddenly took a step forward.

?? He stood in front of the little girl, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed her hair.

?? "We will bring your brother back."

?? Carrie asked subconsciously: "Really?"

??"I promise."

??The oath of the holy son of the Holy See, falling to the ground, is priceless.

?? The little girl was stunned for a while, then raised her head, and tears fell down in big drops. She pointed her chin in Guan Lin's direction:

??"Ok!"
