"Is he in the basement?"

"Well... Recently, I've been staying there alone, and I don't see anyone else. Everyone is worried about him."

The two walked through the corridor, and Mu Chuan projected his gaze into the yard.There is an old fountain pool there. Viewed from the inside, the blue tiles emit a slight light. The pool filled with rainwater is swept by the wind, and the ginkgo leaves floating on it shake gently. The tongue of the water seems to be licking there, but there is no licking.The rare daylight on a cloudy day softly reflected on the water, and seemingly small waves of light kept colliding with each other.

Seemingly noticing the girl's gaze, the short woman also looked over: "That fountain is said to be an antique from the last century, and the previous owner even built a fence for it, and now it's empty without taking care of it. .”

The house was situated on a corner of the town, with a modest iron gate, a front yard and a chapel-like mansion.Seen from the hillside, there are two floors, and from the bottom of the hillside, there are three floors, giving people a complex look, full of domineering momentum.There are many rooms in the mansion, and on each floor, there are a lot of mental ability users in various suits and leather shoes.

"Are those newcomers?" Yui Muchuan asked abruptly when passing the stairs.

"Ah, yes, Kurapika is now the top management. After leaving the Nosra family, many people came with him."

Melody answered with a good temper.In fact, it is not only she who is observing them, in the eyes of these bodyguards in suits, Miss Wei is like a weak lamb, beautifully dressed, like a proud and conceited daughter of the upper class, when she passes in front of these warriors, she looks like Two kinds of people from different worlds.

A man who loves to browse video software suddenly realized: "It's Mu Chuan, a well-known Internet celebrity on the popularity list before, the one who created his own live broadcast platform."

"Ah? A person from the mixed media entertainment industry, what is he doing here?" Someone complained in a low voice.

"You idiot, you must be the boss's friend, otherwise how would you come in. And put on your glasses quickly, you are really a rare beauty—"

The man took out the glasses from his pocket and stared at the girl for a while disbelievingly: the legs are straight, slender and long, um, along the waistline, the figure is not bad, is it because of his young age? The chest is not very obvious, just a normal B, and then the face...

"Look stupid, don't you? Come back to your senses."

"Ah, ah, it's really beautiful."

Not only is she pretty, he has never seen this type of woman since he was a child.He obviously didn't smile, and his face was expressionless, but he emerged from the background like a character in a print—is this guy a person with the ability to read, or is he from the spiritual department? It's too exaggerated!

"I'm a little worried about him. Kurapika hasn't been quite right since I went there last month, so I think you should be able to help him if you come."

Hearing this, Miss Mu Chuan paused, stopped and looked at Melody's face seriously: "Did something happen to you? I always feel that you seem to be very anxious."

She has always been the one who senses other people's emotions, and this is the first time in her life that she has heard such clear words of affirmation.The melody raised her face in a daze, and the girl's heartbeat danced slowly in her ears. It was a calm and peaceful piece of music.

"I'm a professional fortune-teller, so let me do a fortune telling for my young lady." Mu Chuan squatted halfway, stretched out his hand to hold the woman's hand, the hot palm covered the cold fingers, and she said solemnly, " Today's fortune is five stars. You can get help from people around you. Whether it is to listen to advice or ask for help, people are willing to lend a helping hand. And you are very insightful, good at dealing with problems, but also able to seize opportunities. Recently, the peach blossoms are full of luck At this point, the fortune is excellent, the next few weeks will be smooth, and the things that have been worried about in recent years will soon come to fruition."

Such warm hands——

Melody laughed all of a sudden: "Thank you, then I will borrow your good words...By the way, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Ah, is this what you're talking about." Mu Chuan touched the blindfold on his left eye, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "I used my eyes too much before, and I had a bit of conjunctivitis."

"Then apply the medicine on time."

The black-haired girl bent her lips, pulled out a white succulent flower like magic, and handed it to her: "As long as Miss Melody smiles, I will get better immediately. After seeing your smile, I will recover immediately!"

... What kind of pick-up language is this, he really knows how to talk coquettishly.

A drop of sweat dripped from the foreheads of the others standing in the hall, and they were speechless.

"It's here, you go in." Melody pointed to the door of the basement, took Xiang Xuelan, as if planning to say something, finally smiled and shook her head and stood still, watching her push the door open.

squeak-

The basement was pitch black, only a few candles that were about to burn out gave off a faint light, and through the light, Mu Chuan could clearly see the figure in front of the curtain.

The other party should be sitting on the bay window, with his back leaning against the window frame, and he seems to be holding something in his hand, probably falling asleep.The brunette girl closed the door, and groped for the position of the light switch on the wall with her fingers. Ah, I found it...but it didn't turn on when I pressed it. The filament must have blown.

She walked around the flower pots and bouquets on the ground slowly, thinking of the strange expression just now, she understood.I can see a bunch of messy flowers every day, and I am already tired of aesthetics.

"Kurapica?" she called softly, but there was no answer.

She stretched out her hand towards him, and just when her fingertips were about to touch her, her arm was suddenly pulled hard, and a burst of force tightly restrained her wrist, and she was flung defenselessly against the wall.She snorted and heard the boy's hoarse voice: "Who?"

She didn't speak.

In the darkness, those red eyes seemed to be soaked in blood, looking indifferent and paranoid.

……how so.

A place deep in my heart throbbed with pain.

Seeing that she didn't reply, he pressed harder on his wrist, and the young man's voice without warmth rang in his ears again: "Is it an intruder?"

He didn't hear a response for a long time, and he was impatient, so he directly pulled her to a place with light, and he didn't forget to tie her wrists with chains.Mu Chuanyu's brain was in a mess like a mess, she gave up thinking, and silently waited for the other party to confirm her identity.

The dim candlelight fell on the little girl's peaceful face, and her red right eye was looking at him intently—the winter basement was filled with a bleak and rotten water vapor, the cool breeze, and the scent of flowers invaded the skin, The blond boy stood facing her, slightly closing his eyes of the same color and looking down at her.

Then he froze, his whole body stiffened, the candlelight obscuring his outline, only his golden hair glistened like syrup flowing.His voice was like squeezing the last bit of toothpaste, and it took a lot of effort to say:

"……How did you come."

Kurapika seemed to have grown a little taller again, facing each other like this, she could feel his breath from the top of her hair down to her neck, tickling.

The candle flickered faintly with orange-red flame, like the faint morning light, and the black-gray thin smoke curled up, and those wordless silences intertwined with the smoke one by one, and enlarged between the two of them.

"Sorry," he said again.

The chain slipped off her wrist. The girl didn't say anything, but just started to take out things from the small bag she carried: big bags of strawberry candies, liqueur chocolates, chestnut cakes, puffs, peach jelly, and several cans of Coke.

"what happened?"

Miss Wei continued to dig out things: "Please eat some sweets, and you will feel better—ah, I found it. It's the croquette I made this morning. It's the only one here, and you can't buy it anywhere else."

Excitedly putting the small box into the boy's hand, she held the hill, looked at him with bright eyes, like a child asking for credit: "It's all for you!"

He was silent for a few seconds, and his original standing posture became more rigid.

The bright smile on the black-haired girl's face didn't match the darkness of the basement, and she was a little dizzy from the candlelight. She didn't know how to react for a while, and Kurapika just froze in place.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"Oh, it's just conjunctivitis. Isn't this blindfold cool! It's the same as the evil king's real eyes, super handsome—" the girl said triumphantly.

After finishing speaking, she naturally piled all the snacks on the ground, stretched out her arms and hugged him, wrapped her arms around the boy's waist, and buried her head in front of her chest.It took a while to let go of him, took two steps back, and said as if nothing happened: "Are you happier now?"

The boy's tense muscles instantly relaxed again, and the complexities in his eyes just now were replaced by accidents, and he still maintained his rigid movements without moving. He only trembled when he heard Mu Chuan's words, and he didn't speak.

The atmosphere was eerie.

"Ah, and this one I exchanged earlier, can I put it here?" The little girl held the glass jar with both hands, carefully placed it next to the rows of floating eyeballs, and asked while confirming his expression, "Both Yes, it should be true, I have also checked above, and there is no fluctuation in thoughts.”

He couldn't describe his feelings, but felt that the world was quiet, his brain seemed to be on strike, and he couldn't give orders to his body at all... Don't think about anything, don't remember anything.

Kurapika tugged at the corner of his mouth, and managed to make a sound: "Don't..."

Mu Chuan didn't hear clearly, and tilted his head suspiciously.

"You don't come here again."

"..."

He seemed to be extremely tired, with his palms resting on his forehead, exhausting all his strength: "I don't need you to do this at all, does being a good person make you happy? Is it very satisfying to give alms to others—"

He stared at her from the corner of his eyes, focused almost ferociously, and then he said the last sentence: "I have nothing, no one understands my feelings, anyway, you don't have a family, you look like you understand me... "

She looked at him in astonishment.

The moment he uttered it, perhaps Kurapika realized how cruel the sentence was, and immediately stopped speaking.The black-haired girl's expression disappeared for a few seconds, she even forgot what to say, and just stared blankly.

"You should hurry back to their side." After speaking, the boy turned his face away and stopped looking at her.

Mu Chuanwei first lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth drooping, and soon raised his head again, returning to his usual calm expression: "Really, then I will return this to the original owner, and I just didn't have lunch, so I won't bother you anymore, I'm going out shopping .”

She took out an iron box and bent her fingers to open it, but she tried several times without success. I don’t know if it’s because it’s too tight or the girl’s strength is not so strong, but it took a while to open it. .

It was empty inside.

Just when Kurapika was about to ask, some dots of light emerged from the iron box, and then disappeared.

"what is this?"

"Something unimportant."

After finishing speaking, the girl took one last look at him, then turned around and left the basement, leaving the desolate room behind, and quickly ran away from the mansion.

……

The city was dark to the eye, the sky was black, and the outlines of the streets were indistinct.The train in the distance is undoubtedly running, and the scenery in the darkness seems to have not changed, and sometimes small flames or small lights can be seen.The sound of Didi didn't seem to be the sound of a car, but the roar of the boundless darkness that enveloped everything.

I don't know how long it has been, I don't know how long I have been in the car.

The yellow-brown leaves of the cypress trees are mixed with some dry green leaves. The gloomy clouds in winter spread down from the trees like gauze, and the gaps in the city full of black open and close suddenly. Beads of water melted on the girl's furry coat.

Mu Chuan finally found out, looked up at the snowflakes all over the sky, a snow particle flew in and landed on her eyebrows.

The flurry of light snow is not chaotic, with a kind of ritual-like solemnity.The black-haired girl's body began to feel cold, and her mood also cooled down.

It just so happened that the train came near a street full of shops, and in the white cityscape, there were colorful umbrellas everywhere.Trembling snow hangs on the canopy of the milk tea shop, and blurred lights shine through the glass of the windows on the second floor.

Suddenly, a young man without an umbrella appeared in the crowd.

He was wearing a simple dark private suit, with his hands in his pockets carelessly, a few snowflakes fluttered between his messy black hair, a bandage as white as snow was wrapped around his forehead, and his blue earrings shone with a strange light.

The other party obviously saw her too, and together with the flying snowflakes, the man walked over with a smile on his fair and handsome face: "Long time no see."

The small cart selling Kanto cooking began to move forward with the sound of yelling. Through the glass window on the hood, you can see the whitish snowflakes flying outside, and the steaming marinade is constantly bumping.

The black-haired young man looks like a college student in his early twenties, but his dark eyes are deep and deep, and his condescending perspective makes people especially angry.Before she could open her mouth, he added another sentence: "Where's your left eye? Was it finally poached for collection?"

... Sure enough, nothing good came out of the dog's mouth.Being seen by this person is not something to be happy about, but it makes people even more irritated.

The girl's crimson right eye twitched a few times, and it returned to darkness after a while.

"none of your business."
