Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

=============

"I am the... Goddess of the Misty Temple."

It was very difficult for Lucia to confess, and it was clear from the expression on her face that she must have experienced complicated ideological struggles before she decided to speak.

It is not easy for most people to analyze past experiences and face the darkness in their hearts.

But the audience present was very flat, whether it was Batman, Shashengyuan or Tingbi's Jin Shining, no one showed a look of surprise.

"As expected, you already knew." Lucia sighed in frustration.

"You appeared in a special place at a special time, no matter how you think about it, you can't be an ordinary person, right?" Seshoin smiled slightly, and eased Lucia's embarrassment with gentle words.

"Indeed." Lucia nodded, "Please forgive me for my concealment before. No matter how I justify it, my identity and what I have done are facts... I can only hope that it is not too late."

After a brief sigh, Lucia cut to the point, the expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and the whole person pulled away from her emotions and became a third party watching.

"You should have found out a lot about my past. I was an orphan and was abandoned at birth. I was adopted by Mrs. Mary from the House of Stars..."

The life in the orphanage is boring, every day is a repetition of yesterday, over and over again, like stagnant water without waves, life can be seen at a glance.

Compared with other children who live as stiff as wood, Lucia is still alive. She is like a small flower that grows under the wall. Although it is not a rare species, but because of the bright flowers, she has also been honored by Mrs. Mary. careful irrigation.

Mrs. Mary will send Lucia to learn dancing and piano, and teach her "nobility etiquette" seriously or strictly. She has stricter requirements on her than other children in the orphanage. The homework is perfunctory, but Lucia can't. She must earnestly complete every task assigned to her by Mrs. Mary, and under the constraints of these tasks, gradually transform herself into an elegant and well-behaved woman. lady.

Lucia felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Reading made her sensible and made her realize a cruel reality: if you want to get out of the quagmire completely, you cannot stop climbing up.

Her starting point is lower than ordinary people, she has sunk in the lake, she must work a hundred times, a thousand times.

If life continued like this, Lucia's life would go in a completely different direction. It would be difficult for her to get more money and more fame than she is now, but that's okay.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

When Lucia was nine years old, in an ordinary summer, something extraordinary happened.

"I will always remember that night. It should be very hot that day, but I can only feel the bone-chilling chill." Lucia held the water glass handed to her by the killing yard, and stared at the air in front of her with distant eyes. I missed dinner in class, so I could only drink a big bowl of water and go to bed hungry..."

Near midnight, Lucia still woke up from hunger. She felt that her stomach was wriggling hard. It had no food to digest, so it began to digest itself...

The burning hunger made Lucia miserable, but the iron-like rules of the orphanage made her feel afraid. The two emotions kept pulling her, and finally the hunger overcame the fear, and she mustered up the courage to get up from the bed.

Lucia was barefoot, holding her shoes, and waited patiently behind the door for a long time. When the sound of footsteps faded away and the patrolling teacher left the corridor, she opened the door silently, slipped out of the dormitory, and followed the shadows. Run down the hallway.

This was Lucia's first "bad thing", but she was as skilled as she had broken the rules a thousand times.

With the blessing of God or some other god, Lucia slipped into the kitchen and found a cold piece of ham deep in the cupboard.The cupboard is obviously not the place to put the ham, so it should be hidden quietly by the chef. Even if the chef finds out that it is lost later, he will not make a fuss and can only admit that he is dumb.

After a delicious meal, Lucia rubbed her round belly and left the kitchen contentedly.The first adventure was so successful that she fell in love with the excitement and was eager to plan the next one.

Lucia returned the same way, and when she passed the window on the first floor, the moon jumped out of the cloud, she glanced out the window casually, and then her eyes widened because of fear——

There is a huge distorted shadow on the lawn chasing a small child. The child stumbles forward and is pressed to the ground by the monster's suddenly elongated front paws. He has not given up yet, struggling to reach out his hand, with a ferocious expression and tears Cross flow, mouth opened wide, not only breathing heavily, but also roaring hoarsely.

But Lucia didn't hear any cry for help, nor the roar of the monster. All the sounds were swallowed up strangely, turning this scene into an absurd and terrifying silent movie.

Lucia, help me—the child saw Lucia standing by the window, and he cried to her for help.

Lucia took a sudden step back, away from the window, she tightly covered her mouth, trying to block the sound leaking from her lips and teeth.

That's Daniel, something's chasing him, what's going on, is he dying?

Confused thoughts filled Lucia's mind. She had a memory that was completely blank. When she recovered, she found that she had returned to the dormitory.

Cold sweat drenched her clothes, and amidst the violent heartbeat, Lucia climbed up the window on all hands and feet, pressed her face against the dirty glass, and tried to look down.

The moonlight was shining gently, and the grass was peaceful. There were no scary monsters or crying Daniel. It seemed that everything was her illusion.

"I must be dreaming..." Lucia trembled, murmured, climbed into bed like a sleepwalker, wrapped herself tightly with a quilt, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

The next day, Lucia appeared in the cafeteria with two dark circles under her eyes, and began to suspect that everything last night was just a nightmare.

Until she saw Daniel.

"Morning." Daniel passed Lucia with a tray full of food, and greeted her listlessly.

With a loud bang, Lucia dropped the bowl in her hand. Under the puzzled gaze of the children around her, she put her head in her hands, screamed and backed away.

——In Lucia's eyes, Daniel's neck was empty, and the hideous torn wound on his neck was still bleeding, but the blood was black.

Lucia entered the infirmary, no matter what the doctor asked, she was trembling with her head in her hands, unable to make any other sounds except sobbing.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Mary hurried over and asked the doctor about the situation.

Hearing the familiar voice, Lucia woke up suddenly, rushed to hug Mrs. Mary tightly, and talked about the cause and effect in confusion.

Madam Mary's face gradually became serious.

If Lucia's life experience was richer, she should be able to see the panic hidden in Mrs. Mary's eyes. Unfortunately, she was only a child and was frightened, making it difficult to distinguish more subtle emotions.

After listening to Lucia's narration, Mrs. Mary announced with a blank face that she was lying, and she made up this set of lies just to avoid punishment for night tours.

Lucia felt very wronged, but no matter how she justified, she was thrown into the basement by Mrs. Mary to reflect.

After coming out of the basement, Lucia, who was in a trance, began to wonder if there was something wrong with her. She thought about it on the bed and decided to verify it again.

This time, Lucia ran into a hunting monster in the corridor, and Daniel, who was still crying silently while fleeing.

So it's not an illusion, Lucia thought blankly.

In the following period of time, the situation deteriorated rapidly. In Lucia's eyes, more and more peers and teachers began to lose their body organs. Everyone acted as if nothing had happened. It seemed that only Lucia could See through the truth.

The world in one person's eyes is different from other people's. Is it the other people who are crazy, or is it that unique person?

Lucia's emotions ranged from panic to numbness. She was used to it. No one understood her anyway. Everyone thought she was lying. She even heard Mrs. Mary discussing with other teachers and sending her to a mental hospital for treatment...

I don't know how long it has been like this, but on a certain full moon night, Lucia suddenly had a deep premonition that everything was about to end.

She opened the door and escaped from the dormitory.

The corridor was full of distorted monsters, humanoid and beast-shaped, and monsters were fighting incomprehensibly. Lucia took the opportunity to pass through their blockade, rushed into the dungeon, and locked herself tightly .

It was dawn, and the man in the cloak opened the door silently, and came to Lucia.

"Here's one alive," a voice buzzed from under the floating cloak, "she's...perfect."

Lucia stared blankly at the man in the cloak. From her angle, she could have accurately seen the face hidden under the cloak, but all she saw was a dizzying fog.

The man in the cloak stretched out his hand—or the dry bone is more appropriate—to put on Lucia's shoulder, as if he was checking something, and soon he became agitated—it should be excited, the arm that had turned into bones trembled violently with.

"Appropriate... so appropriate... She absorbed the fog and kept her sanity..."

"The internal structure has not mutated, she is still human..."

"Take her back, this trip is not in vain."

Under Saseiin's deep gaze, Lucia stretched out her hand, and a wisp of thin mist emerged from her pale fingertips, wagging like a mischievous cat's tail, and retracted after saying hello.

"This is the first time I have come into contact with the Mist Sanctuary," Lucia said softly, "They took me back and cultivated me as a container for the 'fog' to descend."

The massacre at the House of Stars was written by the media as children with psychological problems jumping off a building and committing suicide. Only Daniel died on the surface.

Lucia was transferred from one orphanage to another, and she received better treatment than before, learning dance, going to aristocratic high schools, studying abroad... The future seems brighter, but Lucia herself knows very well, Her life was over the moment she was forced to join the Misty Sanctuary.

There was a long silence.Saseiin lowered his head and pondered, Batman quickly sorted out the known information in his mind, and compared it with Lucia's statement one by one to verify the authenticity.

It was BB who broke the silence, and her clear voice echoed in the room: "You are still alive, that is to say, the 'fog' hasn't descended yet?"

"...To be honest, I don't know." Lucia shook her head lightly, her voice sour, "19 years ago...the Sanctuary of the Mists launched a sacrificial ceremony. Besides me, they also prepared five The 'Perfect Vessel' made by alchemy is ready for use."

"I don't know whether the sacrifice was a failure or a success. I just remember that the whole world was cracking, and the light came out from the cracked gap, so that people couldn't open their eyes. The altar collapsed while shaking, and the ruins buried it everything."

"I woke up from a coma three days later and I was still me, 'The Fog' didn't choose me."

"Seven days later the Executors dug a tunnel leading to the altar, and beneath the shattered statue of the god they found a living vessel."

"Yes, the container came back to life. After inspection, she was indistinguishable from a naturally born baby."

"Compared to before, apart from gaining life, there is only one unexplainable abnormality on her body. A mark appeared on her back, shaped like a tree with branches and leaves stretched."

Carlos found the clown in the abandoned warehouse. He was lying on a hill made of guns|ammunitions|ammunition, holding a stack of white paper in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and drawing on the paper while talking. Muttering crazy words.

"Look, who's visiting me again?" The clown glanced down at Carlos, and quickly looked back, "Oh, it's someone I don't know..."

"You really don't know me?" Carlos asked calmly.

The clown's movements paused for a moment, and the next second he sat up abruptly, threw away the pen and paper, put his hands on his hips, bent down｜and got a little closer, "Should I know you? Maybe I know you, but it's a pity , I have too many romantic debts, I can't count them, today is not a good time to receive you..."

"Did you see it?" The clown suddenly raised his voice, clenched his fist and knocked on a pile of weapons under him, making a dull sound, "These! They are all left behind by your predecessors!"

He stared at Carlos, grinning at the corner of his mouth, showing a treacherous smile, "Now, do you still want to know me?"

Carlos sighed, resting his forehead with one hand, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I told you the thing I hate the most is dealing with lunatics."

He was no longer interested in chatting with the clown, and decided to directly complete the task assigned by the leader——

The mist dormant on the ground exploded, engulfing the clown with lightning speed, and then dragged him into the terrifying gap in the void.

The whole process was straightforward. Even a veteran like the clown couldn't react in time, or he realized something was wrong, but his body didn't have time to deal with it.

"There is one left..." Carlos said softly, looking back at the warehouse door.

Intermittent conversations drifted from a distance. This sound was so slight that normal people could not hear it at all, but Carlos caught it through the flow of magic power. He carefully took out a crystal bottle from his cloak, opened the bottle stopper, and opened his mouth to Shaked down.

The light streamer floats unsteadily from the mouth of the bottle, like twinkling fireflies. They collide and form a ball, constantly squeezing each other, and the color gradually deepens with the degree of fusion.

This is the memory of some of the sacrifices that were sent to the altar in the "Day of God's Descending" extracted from the spiritual veins. All kinds of emotions are entangled together, and finally mixed into a rich pure black.

Carlos snapped his fingers, and at the same time he turned into fog and dissipated, the surrounding space twisted and rotated, and the rising fog wrapped, engulfed, and compressed the light spots, and finally turned them into a thin, transparent layer, which was tightly pasted all over the place. There is no flaw in the walls and ceiling of the warehouse.

A bunch of tentacles-like branches protruded from the depths of the spiritual vein, quietly connecting the entire warehouse.

A special and hidden time disorder zone was born here.

The subtle fluctuations of magic power flowed through the warehouse, like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, indeed causing ripples to spread around, but soon the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

# # #

The door of the warehouse is wide open, as if to welcome visitors, feel free to enter for a while.

Damian stopped at a safe distance, and just when Nightwing felt very relieved, thinking that Damian had finally learned to be cautious, he saw the youngest Robin pull out with a "swish"｜he stood taller than him Gao's long knife was horizontally in front of him, and he walked in aggressively.

Ye Yi: "..." Damn it, Bai is relieved, he didn't learn it at all!

"This is obviously a trap!" Ye Yi grabbed the cloak behind Damian very smoothly, and taught seriously in an inspiring tone, "Should we scout around first?"

Damian was confident, "What about after the investigation? Don't you have to go in?"

Nightwing: "..."

"So what's the difference." Damian shrugged and broke away from Nightwing's hand, "I can scout and fight at the same time."

If the Joker is so easy to deal with, does Batman need to keep fighting with him?Ye Yi thought that young people are easily impulsive, and even if they suffer a little, they can have a long memory...

While he was thinking, Jason followed Damian with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.

Ye Yi: "???" The brat is reckless, how come you, a battle-hardened red hood, are also impulsive?

Fortunately, there was another reliable one, Red Robin gestured "I'll go around" to Yeyi, and walked around to the back of the warehouse against the base of the wall.

"One by one, it breaks my heart." Ye Yi shook his head and let out a long sigh.

Jason grabs Damian by the collar before he enters the door and yanks him back.

"What are you doing!" Damian yelled angrily.

"Just take it as my intuition, don't go in yet." Jason's face sank, the heart in his chest was beating faster and faster, and an uncontrollable feeling spread along the blood vessels.

There was a dissatisfied "tsk" in the ear, and then the dormant mist came oncoming, like a beast with its bloody mouth wide open, and swallowed Jason "ahhh".

And the last thing Jason did was kick Damian away.

Damian adjusted his body in mid-air and landed firmly, "Todd!"

"What's going on?!" Ye Yi rushed forward in three or two steps, and dragged Damian back a certain distance.Red Robin, who had not gone far, also came back in a hurry.

Damian's face was so gloomy that it was about to rain. He told the other two about the cause and effect, and gritted his teeth fiercely, "Damn..."

The door is still open, and the scenery inside looks ordinary. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that the door just swallowed a large living person without warning.

"BB?" Red Robin took out the communicator, "Is there an unmarked space-time disorder area here?"

[... Detected... Interference...] Messy noises continued to appear on the screen of the communicator, and the originally cute and cute Q-version villain image was distorted and elongated, making it look extremely weird. BB's arm fluttered one by one, [...Magic power...Exceeded the standard...Danger...Leave! 】

Although the sentence became intermittent, from the few remaining words, one could clearly understand the meaning BB wanted to express.

"Let's go first!" Ye Yi made a firm decision, "BB, tell Xiao Chun the news of Jason's disappearance, and at the same time send a request for support to the nearby Chaldea patrol point!"

[...Spiritual pulse... Riot... Magic power... Storm...] The frequency of screen flashes is getting higher and higher, and the dazzling snowflakes are taking longer and longer, [A large number of shadow attendants... out of control...unable to... support……】

Ye Yi: "I have a bad feeling."

Red Robin: "I've seen it's not good."

High above the sky, large groups of dark clouds quickly condensed, tightly blocking the warm sunlight, and winding lightning kept shuttling between the clouds.

The fog came from all directions, and shadow waiters were born one after another in the fog. They had a clear goal and launched an attack on Ye Yi and the others.

Red Robin wailed, "Again!"

Damian didn't talk nonsense, he just drew his knife and slashed. He had accumulated too much anger this day, and he had to vent it.

Ye Yi lost his temper at all, "Let's fight, what else can we do?"

Red Robin: "The key is that these things can't be finished, and there are no safe bases around."

"It's not far from the Iceberg Club," Ye Yi glanced at the map when the communicator switched to a normal screen, "Let's go there."

There was no problem with Ye Yi's plan, but this round of shadow waiters appeared like crazy, coming forward one after another, blocking the way of the three of them with a destructive momentum.

The rune stone that Yuanchun had left to disperse the mist had lost its effect, and the ammunition was about to run out, and they couldn't find a solution.

"Actually, there is another way..." Red Robin turned his head, his eyes passed through the translucent bodies of many shadow waiters, and landed on the door of the warehouse that swallowed Jason.

"Didn't it mean that ordinary people will only become nourishment for dreams?" Ye Yi didn't really want to jump from one fire pit to another, and it was hard to say which fire pit they could last longer.

Damian held the |gun in both hands, the black hole of the gun| muzzle facing forward, he pulled the |trigger|trigger continuously, the bullets were fired, and the flames splattered everywhere.At this time, no one asked where he hid the gun before, and they all wished that his firepower could be more violent.However, the bullets ran out quickly, and Damian let out a dissatisfied "ts", and threw the gun out like a brick.

"It's gone! That's the last one!" Damian roared.

"I didn't expect it to end in this way," Red Robin murmured, "My thesis hasn't been handed in yet..."

Ye Yi: "..." You really love studying.

"Please allow me to help you." An unfamiliar male voice sounded, a red light burst out, and exploded in front of the three of them. Damian, who was closest to him, saw that it was a red alien spell with A gloomy big eye, under his gaze, that eye actually rolled around for a while.

A man in a black safari stepped out of the void and walked lightly, strolling in the courtyard like admiring flowers in spring.Dense spells floated around him, forming a solid barrier to resist Shadow Waiter's attack.

After temporarily stabilizing the situation, the man turned around and bowed politely to the little birds, with a friendly smile on his face, "Let me introduce myself, poor monk—"

"I know, you are Ashiya Domitsu," Red Robin interrupted Limbo expressionlessly, "My sister said that when she catches you, she will strip you naked, put you in a small skirt, and hang you on the TV. Turn on the highest gear on the fan and spin it for three days and three nights, and then ask you if you know something is wrong."

Ye Yi: "..." When did you call her sister?

Damian: "..." She didn't say such a perverted thing, did you make it up yourself?

Limbo: "..." Well, how should I put it... I'm so sorry, but the poor monk actually became excited when he heard it.
