The matter was urgent, and Komyi dispatched three missions at the same time this time.

Because the destinations are all in the northwest of England, the three of me, Rabbi, and Allen—no, three groups of people were arranged to set off together.

"So in the future, we will be teleporting directly through the ark like this?"

Because of the rabbi's inexplicable and persistent request, I had no choice but to continue to cover my mouth with his scarf, followed Allen and the others, and walked into the underground laboratory where the "door" was parked.

"Basically, it will be sent to the coordinates closest to the destination, but usually it will not be a big city." Liba, who was recording something, looked back at us, "Just like your mission this time, because they are all concentrated in the UK. Northwest, so you will be sent to St. Helens first, and then take the train to your respective mission location. When the mission is over, you will also return to St. Helens, and the headquarters will open the door for you directly from here."

"But, in this case... won't the enemy catch the law of opening the door and sneak attacking the headquarters through the ark?" Rabbi asked, resting his arms on his pillow.

"Speaking of this, I almost forgot to give you the password this time." Squad leader Liba waved to the staff next to him, who immediately handed over five folded papers.

"That's it." Squad leader Liba sent it to us one by one.

"Huh?" Rabbi was the first to react, "Is it different from the old man's?"

"Even for the same task, each person's password is different." Liba nodded, "The local staff in charge of connecting will only take you to the room where the door is after confirming the correct number. Of course, at present These are still in the trial stage, and need to be improved in the future—but let me emphasize that even my companions can’t tell my numbers—so have you memorized them all?”

After confirming that we all memorized the eight-digit numbers on the paper, Squad Leader Liba took back the information paper.

"It's really strict—"

The rabbi and I looked at each other, paused, took advantage of Allen and the others not paying attention, pulled me aside, and sneakily pulled the scarf covering my face to have a look.I don't know what he saw. The inexplicably tense state suddenly loosened. He quickly untied the scarf from my neck and put it on by himself.

"Don't you need to surround it?" I asked in a low voice, let alone, it seemed a little cold when I took it off suddenly.

"Well, no need." The rabbi stared at my lips for a few more seconds before helping me straighten my hair that was messed up by the scarf, then pushed me behind and followed Allen and the others.

After coming out of the door of the ark, we were already standing in a secluded chapel in St. Helens.

The expedition team members who came to meet us immediately took us to the train with five train tickets.

I went to Manchester, Rabbi and Shuwen went to Leeds, and Allen and Link needed to go to Sheffield, because the directions were the same, so there was no need to separate in the first half.

Perhaps considering that I am a woman, the explorers specially booked two luxury workshops, one for four of them, and one for myself.

I:"……"

How should I put it, although comfort is comfort, and spaciousness is spacious, but—just me?Only me?

It's too boring to be alone, let alone the rabbi is still close at hand. At first, I was itching to go there, but when I thought of the bookman sitting there, my legs that had already stretched out immediately remained intact. Moved back.

Fortunately, before I could sit still, someone knocked on the door.

"You are here." Seeing the person coming, I changed from being indifferent to sitting upright in a second, and said in surprise.

"Hush——" the rabbi raised his index finger and compared his lips, stepped in, closed the door, and said, "I sneaked out, let the old man stay there, I'll chat with Sisi .”

He came over and sat down directly next to me. Before I could move, I moved my hand automatically and consciously, and put my little finger on his little finger.

Originally, only the rabbis were like this, no matter whether there was someone or no one, as long as the two of them were together, they always wanted to hold my hand.When it is inconvenient to hold hands—such as eating, meeting or taking notes—always overlap shoulders or touch pinky fingers.As a result, after several days in a row, I was so infected that I started to want to touch him habitually, even if I just held my little finger or tugged at the corner of my clothes, I would instantly feel a strange and warm sense of satisfaction .

like now.

The corner of the rabbi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to think of. He suddenly raised his little finger and pressed it on my little finger childishly.

I paused, and I didn't know why, but I followed his example, moved my little finger out, and pressed it back.

We played tacitly and quietly for seven or eight rounds. The rabbi suddenly paused, and slowly bent down under my puzzled gaze.

My heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, and I held my breath almost subconsciously, and the hand on the other side unconsciously grabbed the leather chair cushion I was sitting on.

"—Sisi, we're coming in, huh? It's really... huh? Rabbi, didn't you mean to go to the bathroom?"

Then Allen and Link pushed the door and walked in at this very moment by a very coincidental moment.

I:"……"

The rabbi and I bounced off in an instant, and occupied both ends of the bench calmly and far away.

"Ah, this..." The rabbi raised his hand, scratched his cheek guiltyly, and was about to explain, but suddenly thought of something, and stared at him dissatisfiedly, "Wait, Allen, so you are taking advantage of me Did the time to go to the bathroom come to Ceci's side?"

"What are you talking about?" Allen rolled his eyes at him, "Scholar is in a bad mood at first glance, and you leave me alone to face the old man with low pressure, it's very embarrassing, okay?"

"It's true that the old man wakes up a little annoyed every time he doesn't sleep well..." The rabbi laughed dryly, and then clicked his chin, "But why is there a guy with double moles? you."

"Are you serious?" Allen immediately turned into a dead fish eye, "Link will not have any easing effect at all, it will only make the atmosphere worse!"

"Well, I think so too."

Link: "...?"

Link instantly exploded: "Walker! Bookman!"

During their daily sparring, Tim flapped his wings and flew over Allen's head... and fell on my head solidly, pushing me forward who was unprepared.

I:"……"

Take it easy, my friend!You have now changed from a small chubby ball to a big chubby ball, you know that!Hiss... my cervical spine...

So the four of us young people squeezed together in a workshop like this, and spent a night without nutrition.

Until Allen cried out that he was hungry.

After eating about [-]% or [-]% full, I went outside to blow some air as a routine—that’s what’s good about the special carriage, the corridor is spacious, and there’s a large open space next to the carriage door, which can be used for walking and eating. It’s all right. At times, there will be no other passengers or flight attendants walking back and forth.

I specially turned off the wall lamp, opened the window in the dim light, and the cool wind immediately rushed to my face.

The moon is already in the sky at this moment.

The weather is fine tonight, and the dark indigo sky is almost cloudless, except for the full moon and stars.

Looking into the distance, I saw that across the field, the train was passing by a vast lake. The wind was blowing, and the dark lake water showed sparkling waves under the light of the moonlight.

I took a deep breath, and as soon as I lay down on the window rail, I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned my head.

It's a rabbi.

"Well, after eating so many sweets, aren't you thirsty?"

"...After you said that, I suddenly feel very thirsty," I immediately went to meet him, and complained pitifully along with him, "I'm so thirsty——"

The rabbi said "I knew it", and immediately handed me the water bag that had been untied.

I took it, unscrewed it and was about to drink it, when he pulled me and turned around: "Don't face the wind."

I smiled at him obediently, gulped and drank until I was full, and then wiped the water stains from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand.

The rabbi took the water bag with only a small half of water left and screwed on the cap, pinned it on his waist again, paused, took off his windbreaker quite naturally to wrap me up, then hugged me from behind I stood in front of the window to blow the air together.

"Aren't you cold like this?"

The warm feeling of fullness and satisfaction as if stepping on a soft cloud came up again. I snuggled up and couldn't help but put all my weight back on him.

"It's okay," I could feel the rabbi kissing the side of my hair, and then put his chin on the top of my hair, "I'm a man."

I pondered for two seconds, twisted it, put on the windbreaker in his arms, rolled up the cuffs, and then opened my arms solemnly: "Then I will help you block the wind."

Then I heard a low chuckle from the top of my head, like a flick of a feather on the tip of my ear, and then both my arms were pressed down, and the rabbi gently rubbed the top of my hair with his chin , but the strength around me has increased a bit.

None of us spoke again, just like this on the speeding train, looking at the night scene outside the window tacitly.

Looking at it, I suddenly got a whim, and like a child, I tentatively stretched out my hand out of the window.

"Wait, Sisi, is this dangerous?"

Will it be dangerous?

I raised my head slightly, and just as I was about to look at the Rabbi from above, I saw him stretch out his hands without any warning, or two, one left and one right, vainly protecting my arms.

I:"……"

But our posture...doesn't it look so silly...?

But when I think about it now, the days when I was looking for Master seemed like it happened yesterday.

But everything turned upside down.

Speaking of which, I don't know how Master will react when he finds out that I am with the rabbi...

Will you be so shocked... choked up?

No, just rush at this, and definitely find a way to let him know.

"Well, it seems like it's been blowing for a long time," I thought beautifully, and felt the rabbi grab my hand and take it back together, then rubbed my head, "Shall we go back?"

I nodded, and didn't need him to push me. I turned around obediently, but I didn't expect that the rabbi grabbed my hand from behind after taking a few steps: "Wait a minute."

I looked back at him for no apparent reason, just in time to see the melting moonlight splashing through the window, covering his whole outline with a hazy and cool white veil.His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he looked at me intently, as if hesitating to speak, but also as if he was secretly looking forward to something, a bright and fragmented light appeared in the depths of the greenery.

me."

It was rare for me to be clever, and I immediately turned around knowingly, stood on tiptoe, and quickly touched his lips.

But he didn't want to be caught on the back of the head by the rabbi's probe just as he was about to back away.

My breathing suddenly became unsteady.

However, just as my fingertips were subconsciously grabbing the clothes on his chest, I suddenly heard a click not far behind me, followed by the voices of Allen and Link: "These two people said they were going to go to bed!" Toilet, why haven't you come back for so long, maybe you lost your way like Crowley..."

I:"……"

I don't know where a strong force came from, and I pushed the rabbi away with a bang.

"Huh? So you've been here all this time—speaking of the two of you, what are you doing...?"

Then Allen saw a rabbi who was caught off guard and pushed back a few steps by me, and a rabbi who hit the wall next to him because of the reaction force, and had no choice but to lean against the wall in a strange posture I pretended to enjoy the scenery.

"You...what's the matter?"

What's the matter, it's too late for this, this to come out!

"Ah... ah! Wait, did I bother you?" Although the rabbi and I didn't say anything, Allen suddenly felt blessed for some reason, "Then you continue!"

...How can this continue!

It was definitely impossible to continue, so I had no choice but to stand up straight with a sigh, and secretly put my hand into the hand of the rabbi who came over, trying to drag him back with Allen and the others.

But after taking two steps, someone suddenly turned around with his shoulders supported.The wind blowing in from the window suddenly lifted the hair around my ear, and there was a warm hand holding the side of my face, whether it was the warm yellow light streaming from the room, or the fact that Allen and Link were not far away The voices in the place seemed to fade away at this moment, and I opened my eyes slightly, only to feel the heat leaning over, and I could leave it as soon as I touched it.

"... Sisi? Do you want to stay outside for a while?"

"Ah... it's nothing, it's here."

I replied subconsciously, followed Allen and the others into the room as if nothing had happened, and sat down by the window.

The rabbi sat down next to me, leaning on the cover of his sleeve, and secretly pressed his little finger against mine.

Although it was only a small movement, I still couldn't help but wanted to raise the corners of my mouth, so I could only covertly turn my gaze out of the window, pretending to look at the wilderness under the night.

No one knew that we had exchanged a kiss silently in the night that filled the corridor.

No one knows, it's just the two of us...a secret.

·

The morning clouds came out, the stars disappeared, and the train arrived in Manchester in the cool morning mist.

Before changing to another train, the rabbi pulled me into a small corner behind the stone pillar, hugged me furtively for a while, rubbed my chin against the top of my hair, and told me endlessly not to be brave, and if I encountered The enemy is too strong, it is best not to go up, and run away immediately.

"But if you run away right away...will you be blamed?"

"Ah——I see! Then, if you find danger, hide and ask for help? In short, it is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible for one person to be brave, do you hear me?"

"Before," I didn't pick up the quarrel, I just arched in his arms, "I never saw you so worried."

"You also said that was before..."

Before we parted, I could feel that the rabbi wanted to kiss me again, but inexplicably dismissed the idea halfway, and only lifted my bangs and kissed my forehead.

I:"……"

...So you can kiss as long as you want, why do you have to tease your bangs!It's too suffocating to lift the whole thing up and hold it down with your hands!

I was petrified for a long time, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that the rabbi had already got on the train, opened the window, and leaned out to wave goodbye to me.

I honestly raised my hand and shook him. When the train was gone, I turned my head and saw the local explorers who came to pick me up.

Under the leadership of the explorer named Jean, I temporarily stayed at the home of a couple in a small town around Manchester.

Her husband, Albert Ryder, was taciturn and a well-known doctor in the small town. His wife, Judy Ryder, was seriously ill and bedridden all year round, but no matter how much she was tortured by the illness, she always had a gentle smile on her face.

"...Do you people here know about the existence of demons?" During dinner, I gulped down the soup in the bowl before opening my mouth.

"I don't know the specific situation, but since half a year ago, there have been many disappearances here." Mrs. Judy explained to me, "At first everyone thought it was related to the legend of the valley not far from the town, until Mr. Jean told us that it may be the work of "demons" and that exorcists from the Black Order will be coming to help us soon."

Valley legend?

So it doesn't have to be a demon killing people, but maybe it's a strange phenomenon caused by the holy rough stone?

But when it comes to this, do the strange phenomena caused by holiness directly kill people?It seems to be attached to something?For example, the swordsman who lived for 1000 years when Allen and Kanda faced each other...

"On the outskirts of the valley, the clothes of those missing people appeared...the inside was empty," Gene looked at me, paused, "only some dust remained."

Ah...then it should be because the demon didn't run away.

"Please be careful." Before we set off, Mrs. Judy exhorted worriedly.

"We will, Mrs. Ryder." I was about to nod, but Gene responded before I did.I paused, then turned my head to look at him, and saw a look of reassurance on the face that hadn't changed its expression all the time.

My thoughts suddenly twisted at a certain moment, and I was turned back in time, and I didn't speak again.

That afternoon, Gene took me to the valley that the locals kept secret.

It is still the old routine of legends about hidden monsters due to the steep terrain and the long-term fog. Because since ancient times, people who enter often never return, so as time goes by, some people will combine it with many people. The disappearance cases are linked together.But after contacting them, many doubts were discovered. For example, a large part of the missing people would never have approached this valley on their own initiative.

Then Gene, who came to this town, suggested that there might be a "demon" behind it.

"Then it's quite roundabout," I commented, "it took such a big turn, and tricked people so far before doing it... What's the plan?"

"...Maybe I don't want to be discovered."

But I followed Jinn around the valley, and manipulated the blood to draw in a circle, but I didn't find any traces of demons.

This was the case for the next few days. Since I came, the so-called demon has never appeared again, and no new victims have appeared.

...Shouldn't he be hiding again like last time?

Don't be like this, I'm not single anymore, I'll come out early and end early, and I have to go back to find a boyfriend...

In order to avoid that it was due to the change of the new team uniform, the news of the demons here was blocked, and I didn't recognize it. I deliberately patted the rose cross on my body, and at the same time held a sign "I am an exorcist" and walked around the town very ostentatiously. I went around and didn't miss every corner.

But even so, still no enemies came to me.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Mrs. Judy asked worriedly during dinner.

Dr. Albert, who was sitting next to her, didn't move his brows when he heard the words, and continued to eat with his eyes downcast in silence, as if he wasn't interested in it at all.

I told the truth: "At present, there is no trace of the existence of demons."

"Judging from the past pattern, there will be people missing every half a month, ranging from 1 to 3 people each time, and it has never changed in the past six months," Gene said, "So I think this time is probably it The limit of endurance."

"You mean, this demon can't kill people for more than half a month?"

"I think so." Genn nodded.

"But I have been here for eight days."

Coupled with what Jean was staring at before, there have been no victims for more than half a month.

"I didn't expect this devil." In order not to scare them, I cut the steak into small pieces before putting it in my mouth, and I said with emotion indistinctly, "It's quite persevering."

Jean: "..."

"...Is there such a possibility," Doctor Albert, who hadn't spoken since just now, suddenly raised his head, "The demon you mentioned has already left here?"

Gene and he looked at each other and looked at me: "To be honest, Mr. Exorcist, I think the same is true."

It's not impossible.

But I always feel that if I go back so hastily, I will be sent back by Komuyi...

So I had no choice but to make a decision: "Then wait another half a month."

Ten more days passed like this, and the whole town was still calm, as if the disappearance case that had lasted for half a year had never happened.

It became increasingly apparent to Jean that the demons had left the town.

I am also ready to leave anytime, anywhere.

Until No. 12 days, Mrs. Judy's illness suddenly deteriorated.

Dr. Albert declined all patients with mild symptoms and concentrated on taking care of her at home, but even so, Mrs. Judy's body still did not improve, and she was even failing continuously, as if she was dying every minute .

Even Jin's mouth burst into flames.

And just like that, on the penultimate day before I was about to leave, the demon that I thought had left reappeared.

Another case of disappearance occurred in the town, and an unowned piece of clothing was found on the outskirts of the valley again.

"I didn't expect," Gene, who went to investigate with me, seemed a little absent-minded, "the devil is still here."

Suddenly there was a wind blowing, and the dust on the clothes in my hands fell to the ground. I paused, and was about to put down the clothes of the deceased when I caught sight of something.

I stood up slowly.

"What's the matter, Lord Exorcist?" Gene finally noticed the movement here, and turned to me suspiciously.

I didn't speak.

It's just—will there be blood stains on people who are killed by demons?

Got scratched by a branch or something on the way here?

The next day, Mrs. Judy finally got better, but she was still very weak.When I went to see her, she was sitting on the bed leaning on the pillow, drinking the medicinal soup with a pale face.

"Please, please catch that demon," she said weakly, "don't let it harm anyone again."

The deceased was a man in his 20s.

Everyday is very ordinary, nothing special enough to be worth mentioning, except that I just caught a cold these two days.

Speaking of it, the locals seem to think that sick people are more likely to be lured into the valley where there is no return because they are weaker than ordinary people.

"By the way, is Mrs. Judy at home alone today? She just had a serious illness, will she also be stared at by that demon..."

"No, Mrs. Ryder is impossible..." Gene suddenly realized something and quickly changed his words, "I mean, please don't worry, Mrs. Ryder should be fine."

I glanced at him, noncommittal.

Another day later, a little girl named Brianna in the town was injured while playing in the wild. The wound was infected due to random bandaging, and she was sent to Dr. Albert.

Although Mrs. Judy's illness began to show signs of aggravation, but this time Dr. Albert did not refuse to come.

I took a look at his arm under the rolled up sleeve, which seemed to be scratched by something, and poured the calming soup that I can enjoy every day at night.

That night.

I, who was supposed to be sound asleep, quietly walked out of the room under the misty moonlight.

The room was quiet, Dr. Albert was not there, neither was Gene, only Mrs. Judy fell asleep in a dream of being tortured by illness, breathing sometimes and not.

And the little girl named Brianna was walking towards the valley.

Sensing the thread of blood left on her body during the day, I walked unhurriedly all the way to find her.

Then came a place that Gene had never taken me before.

Under the rapids of the broken stream, there is a hole in the sky.As soon as one stepped into the huge dark mountain pass, there was a strong smell of blood and an extremely pungent rotten smell. Plenty of bones were piled up at the bottom of the pit, and on top of it was a fresh corpse that hadn't completely rotted. Doctor Albert, who was standing by the pit, was holding a knife, and was about to strike at Brianna, who had dull eyes.

Next to me was Gene who was looking at me in shock.

The reason for killing is simple.

The medicine for his wife's illness was ineffective, and when Dr. Albert was desperate, he suddenly found an ancient method in an ancient book that used the human heart as a medicine, but he didn't want to save it by mistake. The wife of the ghost gate, since then, the malice has been out of control.

Using the horror legends of the valley as a cover, he took advantage of his position to hypnotize and lure patients to the depths of the valley, where they killed people to get their hearts out.But not without suspicion, in order not to attract the police, Jean helped him push everything to the devil.

Although their plan is far from flawless, it has already succeeded for the most part—as long as the exorcists who come here are tricked into thinking that the demon has left, and then they are given time to dispose of the corpse, everything will eventually be drowned in dust. unknown.

But I don't want Mrs. Judy's condition to change before.

... So love is real, it can turn people into ghosts.

I will have nothing to do next, the murderer will be dealt with by the police, and the explorers who are accomplices will also be handed over to the religious order.

So far, I don't have any special feelings-even though I have eaten and lived with them for nearly a month.

Until Mrs. Judy died of illness.

I don't know whether it was God's will or luck. When the police brought Dr. Albert to the house to search for more criminal evidence, Mrs. Judy was already so sick that she lost consciousness and did not know that her husband had committed a heinous crime for her.

And when Dr. Albert was taken out, she calmly stopped breathing in a coma.

Dr. Albert paused as he was walking out, turned around without warning, then suddenly broke free from the police's restraints, and ran back in embarrassment.

The doctor, who has always been taciturn and extremely calm, and did not even show a trace of panic when I found out the truth, just walked slowly to the side of the bed, raised his hand, and gently touched his wife's cheek.

His face was calm as usual at first, and then it became blank. After a few seconds, he blinked suddenly, and his lips moved a few times as if trembling.

He picked up his wife's body gently and slowly, and was dazed like a child for a few seconds, tears slipped down silently, and gradually, as if he had really come to his senses, a suppressed, unhuman voice came out of his throat Growling, crying almost retching.

Bloody tears kept falling on Mrs. Judy's pale face one drop after another. Doctor Albert opened his mouth and raised his hand to wipe it away in a panic, but it got dirtier and dirtier.

Afterwards, he stopped wiping, and stopped crying. He just hugged his wife's body numbly, and his eyes fell on a certain point in front of him.

An elderly police officer paused, and was about to step forward to pull him away, but due to carelessness, he met Dr. Albert's bloodshot eyes.

"Be careful! He can..."

But it was too late, Doctor Albert had already got the gun in his right hand.

Just when the policemen at the scene were afraid that he would jump over the wall in a hurry, Dr. Albert suddenly aimed the gun at his jaw and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In this way, blood was splashed on the white wall.

Everyone present was shocked in place.

The doctor's hand holding the gun fell limply to the bed, but the other hand was still holding his wife tightly.

After a long time, the policeman next to me murmured: "He... really loves him..."

Yeah, I think.

Love enough to kill others for her, and love enough to kill himself for her.

Does such love really exist in reality?

— If only the rabbi could love me like this.

I opened my eyes slightly, and was suddenly taken aback by the thought that popped up naturally in my mind.

- "I saw... black hands... across your chest..."

——If he really wants to die, he must at least let him remember me... Although it may be a bit selfish to think so, he'd better remember it forever.

My whole body seemed to be lightly hammered by something.

He had already gone out, but he couldn't help but stagnate in the boundless twilight, and turned his head to look at the shattered red glow against the eastern sky.

In the middle of the surrounding policemen, Dr. Albert was terribly dead, but he was hugging Mrs. Judy's body tightly. The two seemed to be connected inseparably, the blue, white and blood red intertwined into one. A strange and eerie picture.

I suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Ask yourself - do I really want the rabbi to... love me like this?

The author has something to say:

I'm very bad at writing this kind of plot, but it's not enough if I don't write it, because this plot is the key to Sisi's mentality change↑

Sisi: It's over, I want a rabbi even more QWQ

as well as--

The explorer who just received Sisi: "Master Sisi, your hair..."

Sisi, who had been frantically pressing for a long time before returning her bangs to their original shape: "..."

Very angry!Super angry!The next time I tease my bangs again, it will be a month, no, a week——just a day without kissing!

#So lifting up bangs and pressing them firmly with your hands is really a very straight man’s behavior#
