Talking well, only answering a few questionnaires, the result is just to paralyze us.

There is also a small compartment at the innermost side of the library. I just struggled out of the sea of ​​questions on my side, and I was called into it by Link. One-to-one friendly exchanges.

Most of the content of the exchange was related to the questionnaire, but the order was disrupted, and some sharp and abrupt strange questions were interspersed by surprise, which almost caught me by surprise several times.

Fortunately, I didn't really touch any blind spots of knowledge, and I didn't turn to the relationship between my mysterious old mother and Noah. Everything only revolved around Master's private life.After you asked me for about 10 minutes, Link finally closed his notebook and nodded reservedly: "Very well, it seems that you are not lying."

Of course I didn't lie, I know everything about Master's little-known little hobbies, okay?

After I came out of the cubicle, I was about to walk towards the long table, but I didn't want the rabbi to lean on the wall outside the cubicle and wait for me. When he saw me coming out, he immediately greeted me.

"Are you okay?" Although he was asking me, his eyes stared dissatisfiedly at Link who was leaving with the materials.

"It's okay, I just asked a few questions," I whispered to him, "It's very easy to answer."

Although I had long been prepared to share life and death with Yalian, I was forcibly driven back by them around eleven o'clock.Even in order to prevent me from going back to sleep properly, the rabbi sent me all the way to the room.

"Well, what Ceci needs to do now is to rest well." When he said goodbye, he said as if he had promised something, "It just so happens that this part needs to be recorded, so it's fine if I stay with Allen, don't worry. "

Then they really tossed and tossed until dawn.

When I was going out the next day, I ran into the rabbi who was yawning at the door of my room, and I was shocked.The rabbi didn't show any surprise. When he saw me, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and greeted me quite naturally, saying that since we met me by the way, why don't we go to the cafeteria together like this.

"By the way...?" I always felt that something was wrong, and after walking a few steps, I realized that it was the location of the dormitory, "But, isn't the room for you and Shuweng next to the cafeteria?"

And my room happened to be on the innermost side—how could it make such a big circle along the way?

"Isn't this just a morning exercise..."

The rabbi was taken aback by my question, and gave a vague answer. Before I could react, he immediately walked up behind me, half coquettish and half complaining, pushing me to speed up my pace.

"Ah - I'm so sleepy, but I'm still hungry, let's go eat quickly -"

The rabbi didn't lie, he was so sleepy that he exploded, every time I looked at him sideways during the meal, I could see little by little his head.Once I couldn't bear it, and just as I tilted my shoulder in a daze, I was kicked awake mercilessly by the bookman sitting diagonally opposite.

"Hiss—it hurts! Why did you suddenly kick someone, you panda!"

"Give me the appearance of eating when you eat, what does it look like when you're staggering!"

If the old man wasn't there, it would definitely be the other way around. I was a little disappointed for a few seconds, and then looked at Allen, who was a few people away.

Allen also seemed to be stupefied, his eyes stared straight, and he only maintained a mechanical eating movement until the fork in Li Nali's hand fell on the plate and made a "clang" sound, and then he woke up.

Li Nali looked very bad, even worse than the two of them who stayed up all night. She lost her mind several times during the meal, and before she finished eating, she forced herself to say goodbye to us, saying that she was going to find her. Kanda sat in meditation together.

"What's so good about zazen?" The rabbi yawned again, "Forget about the old man, why both You and Li Nali like it so much..."

"Hmph, it's strange if you can understand it, for a half-assed person like you." Then he got a supercilious look from the old man.

But it wasn't until we heard Jerry talk about it later that we didn't know that Li Nali's behavior was all because Link's boss named Luberier came here.It is said that the tall officer from the Central Committee who looks like a combination of a fox, a snake and a weasel once cast an indelible shadow on Li Nali's childhood.

As for the results of the dispatch questionnaire, it came out quite quickly—but the higher-ups of the religious order did not revoke the surveillance as expected, and in order to realize the real 24-hour surveillance, Link moved to Allen’s room that night, The two of them started living together so blatantly.

When Link moved in, the rabbi and I happened to be there.

Except for a few marshals, as well as bookmen and rabbis who live with their masters and apprentices, the rooms allocated by the order to exorcists are almost the same size, and there are no extra beds.Allen was grimly thinking about whether to sacrifice to share a bed with Link, and Link himself had already consciously made a bed on the floor.

After a few days of contact, we realized that the calmness of this person when we first met was completely an illusion.

Although he does look like an antique sometimes, he is too rigid in certain things; sometimes—especially when carrying out the orders of his chief Ruberier, he will be like a robot, rigid and inflexible; But most of the time, his role is actually more like a mother.

Just like now, you see, he is forcing Allen to eat more vegetables again.

Believe me, it would be more convincing if you weren't pushing a cart full of sweets that are as good as Kia's, and you can't even see the staple food and vegetable leaves.

But no matter what, Allen gradually began to get used to this kind of life where there is always someone following behind.

At least as Link himself said, he was just performing the task of monitoring, and he didn't hold any hostility towards me and Allen, and since he was the only one I met in my life, he was in the same position as me. Judging from the fact that he likes to dip apple cider vinegar when eating Chinese dumplings, I think he should be a good person if nothing else happens.

To sum up, the days of fighting and killing have finally calmed down a little for a few days.

——"Have you heard? Allen Walker may be Noah's subordinate."

However, it was just an appearance. Under the seemingly calm water that Allen couldn't touch, at some point, such a voice came out.

From "As a dignified exorcist, he was instigated by Noah and became a despicable traitor" to "Alan Walker was one of the 100 children adopted by Noah. He joined the church with ulterior motives from the very beginning" , and then to "Alian himself is Noah, the reason why he has not been discovered is because of some kind of disguise", the rumors intensified, and even began to draw topics from various aspects such as age, gender, identity, etc. The stories became more and more weird , the focus is strange and ever-changing.

"Hey," one time when the rabbi and I happened to pass by, the rabbi put his face down on the spot and glanced over coldly, "Is that enough?"

Seeing that he was really angry, the unfamiliar explorers on the opposite side immediately fell silent in fright, lowered their heads and staggered our sight.

After finding a place to sit down, the rabbi looked away, stirred the beef brisket soup in front of him with a spoon for a few seconds, raised his head suddenly, and comforted me: "Don't pay attention to what they say."

I was concentrating on stuffing sweet potato balls into my mouth, and I nodded obediently.

In fact, I didn't pay much attention to it at all, not to mention that these rumors didn't involve me at all, even if I was the protagonist in it, it didn't matter to me to this extent.

Until one day, these malice finally reached Allen's ears.

Allen paused slightly, but did not turn his head, but just walked over directly.

But in an instant, I felt something deep and dark seeping out from the bottom of my heart, burning like a cold flame. When I licked it up, I stopped walking almost reflexively, and looked at the man who had changed the topic of chatting with no expression. the gang.

"Cersi...?"

The warm and rough touch fell on the back of my hand, and someone took over the food cart I was pushing.

"What's wrong? Is it too heavy today?"

I came back to my senses and turned my head subconsciously. The moment I met the rabbi's gaze, before I could react, I felt a rush of heat that overwhelmed the previous desire to do something.

——"Whatever you want to do in the future, before you do it, think about Allen's face."

Think about... what kind of reaction would be if Allen... and the rabbi knew about it.

"It seems..." I blinked and opened my mouth again, as if being pulled by something, "It seems to be a little heavy, and it can't be pushed at all."

Hearing this, Allen glanced back at the four undamaged pulleys under the dining car, paused, and looked at us without a word.

But I deliberately looked away, and just obediently followed behind the rabbi, found a seat and sat down.

After the meal, Allen followed Link to the library to write documents, as usual, with a sad face, while the rabbi was called away by the bookkeeper after a long absence.After parting from them at a fork in the road, I also walked obediently towards the dormitory, but halfway through, my feet suddenly turned and I went back to the cafeteria.After a pause, with a smile on his face, he walked towards the staff members who had been transferred from other branches to the headquarters, who had just identified Allen as a traitor and said bad things about him but didn't know to avoid him.

So the next day, when everyone came to the cafeteria for breakfast, what they saw was this scene—a few staff members who believed in the rumors the day before and insisted that Allen was the enemy suddenly began to treat themselves uncharacteristically. He repented for his inappropriate behavior, and even when he was excited, he shed such heart-warming and heart-warming tears as "I no longer doubt my own people" and "I no longer doubt the exorcist who was born and died for us".

"...What's the situation, these people," the rabbi who was ready to cook came over to meet me, "could it really be a conscience discovery?"

I looked at him blankly: "Maybe...?"

It's not that no one has noticed the strangeness, but no one has ever thought about it on me.

After all, the only communication I had with those people was to tell them emotionally how Allen, as an exorcist, went through life and death for the Black Order and the justice of life in the Ark.

And because they were quite sensible and didn't show any obvious physical discomfort, this unusual and rare did not arouse Allen's suspicion.

Of course, this is all thanks to Link’s bombardment of his questions. Allen was tortured by those over and over again, grinding, and strange questions, and almost doubted his life. With his hand, he pointed to the small mirror on the wall of the cafeteria, and asked me without any hope: "Cersi, tell me what you have seen."

"...Pale complexion, sunken cheeks, and severe dark circles under the eyes?" I replied tentatively.

Allen: "..."

Allen: "I know I can't count on you."

"Hmph, Walker, are you playing that childish trick again?" Link, who came back from cooking, immediately curled his lips in disgust when he saw this scene.

Only then did I know that on the day when Link first came, after the rabbi and I left first, Allen also asked him the same question.

Said to have seen a strange reflection in the window.

But no one could see it except him.

I paused, then looked at the mirror on the wall again, but still saw nothing.

But speaking of that day, I seem to... I almost started dreaming from that day.

Intermittent, incoherent, fragmented dreams—sometimes standing in the endless wheat field, sometimes walking in a very strange mansion Inside, and sometimes in a dark and dank alley.

The dream unfolded from the perspective of No.1. I just felt as if I was imprisoned in someone's body, following her footsteps involuntarily, and touching those distant, long-awaited A memory that is forgotten, and that will never... be recalled.

...That's what I said, but it doesn't really have a sense of substitution.

For example, you can clearly see the ups and downs of the wheat waves in front of you, but you can't feel the wind blowing; you can even raise your bloody hand to caress the rough and rugged wall, but you don't feel any pain.

Gradually, I also became like Allen, getting used to it.

As Master said, at most it is just some hallucinations, and it really has no effect on real life.

My requirements are not high, as long as it does not affect reality.

I thought so.

—until that night.

·

I opened my eyes, blinked, and found myself lying on the ground.

It seems inaccurate to say that it is on the ground. Judging from this long-lost feeling of wobbling, is it on a boat?

Is it in the cabin...?

Wait, why did you run to the boat again?

I was dazed for several seconds, and at a certain moment, I suddenly realized that I should be dreaming at this moment.

But it seems to be subtly different from the previous dreams - not only the scene has changed, but it also makes me feel almost real.

—I can feel the cold.

I could still hear the sound of the wind, as if the windows were open, and the wind mingled with the fishy smell of the sea hit my clothes stuck to my back due to cold sweat, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

And I’m not the only one here, there seem to be several tall figures standing vaguely around, but because I’m in the cabin, the sky is overcast, and the lights are not turned on, everything seems to be a sticky ball. Black, dim and fuzzy in the field of vision, can't see anything clearly.

But before I could figure out what was going on, a light came suddenly.

I was so shaken that I subconsciously tilted my head and closed my eyes.

This feeling... is the camera flash?

Someone is taking pictures?

Just when I was a little dazed, everything fell into darkness again, and then someone pulled me up from the ground.Because the action was too rough, I was directly dragged a somersault, and when I put my hands on the ground, I realized that they were a pair of children's hands, and I didn't know what I touched. They were wet, cold and sticky.

My mind was a little blunt, so I was grabbed by the arm like this, and I stepped out of the cabin with a deep foot and a shallow foot.I tripped and tripped several times along the way, and crushed something. I looked carefully, but I couldn't see it clearly. I could only feel that something was familiar, stiff, and cold.

When I came to the deck, I still couldn't see the faces of the people around me clearly, I could only see the dark sky with heavy gray clouds and no light at all.

But there was no rain, only the bone-chilling sea wind was howling, and the dark sea water slammed heavily against the side of the ship, making a sound that could almost be called creepy.

—It's getting colder.

I could feel my whole body trembling, and I let something like a rope be tied around my body motionless, and then suddenly there was nothing under my feet, and the black sea water surged from all directions in an instant, engulfing me in an instant.

My mind went blank, my mouth and nose were choked with water, and the endless darkness and cold covered the sky, accompanied by needle-like pain all over my body and a strong sense of suffocation, a huge fear that I had never felt before suddenly emerged from the bottom of my heart , pierced through all limbs in the blink of an eye——

I opened my eyes suddenly, pressed my face against the pillow, and breathed heavily.

But he couldn't move his body at all. After a long time, he finally got out of the suffocation, and then he realized that the pajamas on his body had already been drenched in cold sweat, sticking to his skin cold and sticky.I didn't know what to do, got up subconsciously, and wanted to get out of bed and change a suit of clothes, but I couldn't touch the switch of the wall lamp.

It took about a minute before I realized that my hands were shaking.

After I finally turned on the light and put on dry clothes, I still felt cold, so cold that even if I wrapped the quilt tightly, I still couldn’t resist the wave of chill, so cold that my teeth started to bruise. Trembling.

After turning off the lights and returning to the dark room again, this feeling became more obvious. I curled up on my side and didn’t even dare to close my eyes. I feel that as soon as I close my eyes, I will be swallowed by the waves in an instant.

...to die for.

How can I sleep like this.

I tossed and turned several times and couldn't fall asleep. Not only could I not fall asleep, but the feeling of cold fear intensified. When I came back to my senses, I had turned on the wall lamp again and took the rabbi's hair that was placed next to my pillow. belt, put it around the neck.

After doing this series of actions reflexively, I realized that I wanted to see him.

I have never been so eager to see him for a moment as I am now.

I want to... see him right away.

But no, I looked at the clock, it is only one o'clock in the morning, and there are at least five or six hours before the rabbi will get up.

I just sat on the bed covered with a quilt for a long time, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so I got out of bed and put on my shoes, chose a thick suit, put on the thickest cloak, and went to the public bathroom to wash a hot bath.

But when I don't want to wash, the warmth is warm, but as soon as the water flow stops, the cold feeling will come back again.

I thought about it, and felt that I might need some energy, so I ran to the fifth research room where the science class was located.

But he didn't want to find a tiny light leaking from the crack of the door when passing by the library on the third floor.

This is not my favorite place, and I have never been a person who is easily curious, but this time, for some reason, I suddenly stopped and walked over as if being drawn.

I don't know if the door was intentional or not, but it was really not closed tightly, and a small gap was opened.I went to the door and looked in through the gap, and saw that the tables and chairs inside had been neatly pushed aside, and a figure in an orange sweater was sitting on the floor covered with blankets with his back facing me. , something was recorded on the notebook placed on the lap, and there were many opened books scattered around.

When he was leaning over to pick up the book obliquely in front of him, the drooping red hair suddenly swept across his cheeks as he lowered his head.

That's how my heartbeat was...suddenly missing a beat.

The author has something to say:
