Doomsday Egg

Phil was really frightened. He didn't think about how to explain this weird situation for a while, so his mouth was blurred and his heart was churning up and down—it was too weird, that child was definitely not a creature that normal people could understand , if Kelan finds out... He doesn't want to see Kelan being as mad as before.

and so……

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the lounge, feeling extremely reluctant to give up, but the reality did not allow him to hesitate any longer. If Kelan and that child could only choose one, even if he knew that his feelings could not be reciprocated [-]%. He can only choose the man he loves.

Phil touched the bloody water on the ground with his hand and sighed.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, stained the center with some red, wrapped it up carefully, and carried it in his arms.Then he stood up and walked to the table where the weapons were placed, stuffing everything on it into the large backpack beside him.

Kelan smoked quietly, glanced at Phil from the corner of his eye to complete the above series of actions, and walked towards him.

"We can't take him with us anymore."

What Phil said was very lacking in confidence, and he didn't dare to look at the man in front of him.

Kelan didn't reply, just threw the unfinished half of a cigarette on the ground, and pulled the backpack full of weapons from Phil's shoulder.

"gram……"

Phil's intuition was a bit bad, but he didn't dare to chase too close to anger the other party. He could only watch helplessly as Kelan walked to the door of the warehouse and lifted the shutter door upwards.

"It's not 'us'," Kelan said coldly with his back turned, "it's 'I'... no longer bring 'you'."

After finishing speaking, he got out from under the rolling shutter door without looking back.

"... Kelan!!"

It took Phil a long time to recover from the shock of that sentence, and hurriedly chased after him and got out the door, but at this moment, there was only a narrow black alley in front of him, and the man he wanted to call to stop had long since disappeared. .

This probably marks the end of...their relationship.

Based on Phil's understanding of Kelan, this man will definitely do what he believes in, and he will never take a second look at things he doesn't care about.

Where would he go to make a big fuss with a full load of weapons on his back?

Maybe you will see it in the headlines of the newspaper soon.

Phil squatted down on the spot, crossed his arms and buried his head in them.

No matter what that man is going to do, he can't control it anymore...

From then on, they were not even friends, and even the fact that they knew each other would be denied.

Maybe this is the final verdict that he must bear for his behavior of betraying him?

But... the ending is a little different from what I imagined.

He really loves him so much, thinking that since he may turn his back on him, he might as well lie to him once, do it with him once, and see what will happen to him, and he is also mentally prepared that he may die here, but like this Being left behind, being abandoned indifferently is not what he wants!Does he really not even have this weight in his heart?So small that even if you do such an excessive behavior, you won't take it to heart?

The more Phil thought about it, the darker he became, tears of grievance filled his eyes.

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps not far away.

Is it an illusion produced by desire and dissatisfaction?Fantasizing that the man would turn back to find himself?

"How is it possible..." He raised his head slightly in a self-deprecating manner, and even though he said negative words, there was still a trace of expectation in his heart.

There are people.

A real figure appeared at the end of the passage!

"Klan...?"

Phil blinked his eyes that were hazy with tears, read out the name lightly, his body straightened up uncontrollably like a demon, and went up to him.

"Kelan... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, please forgive me, please take me with you..."

Like a drunk person, he staggered towards the other party and kept saying words that were not recognized by the brain.

But soon, as the distance from the opponent shortened, he discovered that it was not Kelan who came.

This person's figure is a bit strange, although he is so tall that his lower body is unstable, his back is arched and his face is retracted, his center of gravity doesn't seem to be on his feet, but rather...

Being hung and dragged by something.

Immediately regaining consciousness, Phil stopped in his tracks, wiped away his tears indiscriminately and fixed his eyes, then began to retreat unconsciously.

God, what is going on with this man who looks like a hanged ghost and looks like a hanged ghost? !His attire looks like a typical gangster around the dark street at first glance, but... the things crawling out of his ears and mouth... and... the increasingly obvious buzzing sound similar to the vibration of insect wings, Makes the figure look like a living bug sac!

The unreasonably disgusting scene short-circuited Phil's brain for a while, and he began to be a little confused whether it was reality or a dream. As a result, his back steps slowed down a lot, and he staggered because of bumping into debris. Consciousness sat on the ground, wide-eyed watching the human-shaped object getting closer and closer, and...

More and more small ghosts buried all the little light left in the alley.

Kelan walked back to the original parking place, threw his backpack onto the passenger seat, didn't start the car, but just sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel in a silent daze.

The "break" with Phil made him sadder than he imagined. He thought that he had already become numb to things like feelings, and there was nothing worthy and cherishable except Lilith. Is there such a space left somewhere?Like Phil said, they are family, are they friends?

impossible.

He didn't think about this kind of problem before, but now that they have been betrayed, it is impossible for them to have or maintain such a relationship.

The cheek that was slapped was burning with pain.

Even if he denied the possibility of each other, he couldn't explain this feeling of indecision that he had never had before.

Phil's desperate eyes linger in his mind, and the boy named Korfeet, who has been getting along with him in a weird and warm way these days, has already left him out of the category of strange creatures .

{Klan, Kelan...}

At that time, the child who was locked in the car tried his best to call out his name with a somewhat inarticulate childish voice, which made him immediately get rid of the idea of ​​abandoning him, and now... why would he abandon him again? Woolen cloth?

Perhaps there is no reason at all.

In fact, this child was not the direct cause of Lilith's disappearance. The culprit was himself. She should not have been taken out of the hospital... No, she should not have been taken away from the orphanage at all, and let her live with him like this A life of ups and downs, and now...

Maybe he didn't dare to face the reality, refused to believe that Lilith was really dead, and didn't want to... admit his failure.

In fact, he was angry with himself,

But what's the use of blaming yourself?

There are other things to do now.

"Tsk!"

Kelan thumped the steering wheel, grabbed his backpack and opened the door, got out of the car, and quickly walked back along the path he walked out just now.

When turning a corner, he collided with a Hei boy who was running in a hurry, and something fell from Hei boy's arms.

"Hey, yours..." Seeing that the other party didn't bother to pick up the lost item, Ke Lan instinctively grabbed the other party's hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Unexpectedly, the Hei boy desperately apologized with a strange expression, and tried to defend something, "I didn't do it, I really didn't do it!"

After speaking, he ignored the things on the ground, waved Kelan's hand and ran away.

"What the hell..." Kelan frowned at his leaving back, then glanced at something on the ground - it was obviously a wallet, "... a thief?"

That full thickness... It seems that I met a fat sheep... It seems that there is something like a necklace wrapped in it. If you look closely, there are flowers embroidered on the wallet and bloodstains.

"Women's things? Either stealing or robbing..."

Kelan pushed the wallet to the base of the wall with his foot, and shook his head not very interested.

But after walking a few steps, some memory fragments flashed in his mind, he stopped, and looked back at the wallet in disbelief.

That flower...is it a gardenia?

Why does this thing look like Phil's...

He took a long stride back and picked up the wallet from the ground, probably because of too much force, the necklace inside fell out.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp sound when the metal hit the ground.

Against the faint light of the alley, the flower-shaped pendant reflects unrefined light.

He remembered that the cheap and worthless necklace was the first time he received a job from Phil when he was a teenager, and Phil insisted on him to buy it. Phil has spent so many years on such a low-grade item. Still stay by my side!And he, unexpectedly, didn't care, at that time he even mocked the other party for wanting something from such a woman, but now he has to be reminded of this matter before he even remembers it!

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve your love at all...Damn it!"

Kelan put his wallet and necklace in his pocket, and ran towards the warehouse where Phil was in big strides. hand.

Something must have happened to Phil!

Although he is only an intermediary assistant, his skills are not weak, so even if Kelan robs him of all his weapons, Phil can definitely protect himself against ordinary robbers, but...

Anxiety flooded Kelan's heart. This feeling was very similar to when Lilith disappeared. Only then did he realize that he had already recognized Phil's existence in his heart. Even if they could not be lovers, they were still friends. ,yes
