you turned on the love game

Different fragments of memory flash through your mind very quickly, all featuring the same blonde girl:

She was bullied by other peers in the orphanage;

Running in the old manor corridor with complicated skirts;

Excitedly raised her face, chirping with someone.

He was injured all over his body during combat training, got up silently and asked the maid to apply medicine, then covered all the injuries with long sleeves, then tied up his long hair indiscriminately, making the wooden floor thump loudly.

Her facial features and the little skirt on her body.

After zooming in, it is exactly the same as the current Linna.

They are the same person.

definitely is……

"Bedo!"

Qi Ya's face suddenly moved closer to your line of sight, and there was a little worry in his clear blue eyes, "What's wrong with you, why are you crying?"

The light in your eyes trembled slightly, you came back to your senses, suddenly leaned over and hugged Qi Ya's thin shoulders, and said softly: "Qi Ya, I'm a little sad."

You say, "It's possible that I... did something wrong."

Qi Ya was taken aback for a moment, and then hesitantly patted your shoulder lightly. Before you could decide what to say, you continued to speak: "Qi Ya, I have to leave for a while, I can't accompany you in the afternoon game."

He immediately reacted: "Are you going to find that Linna?"

"Um……"

"Oh, fine, no problem."

Qi Ya raised his smiling face indifferently, raised his eyebrows, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I can handle the game in the afternoon with ease."

"Sorry, I promised to accompany you in the morning."

"What's the matter!"

He raised his voice: "Now your business is more important!"

After a pause, he lowered his voice again, and asked you in a low voice: "Then will you come back after dealing with the matter over there...or leave directly?"

You smiled and straightened up: "Yes, I will come back."

Gently stroked his hair, "After all, I haven't completed the entrusted task, and I also want to make money by playing games."

Qi Ya's eyes lit up: "It's true!"

After leaving the restaurant, you followed the golden figure for a few steps.

Suddenly, he looked back as if feeling something.

The silver-haired boy pressed his face against the glass, looking like a cat.When he noticed that you were looking back at him, he raised his paw and swung at you vigorously, making a mouth shape of "Hurry up and catch up".

You show a helpless smile.

The crowds on the street are dense, and you can only see the golden strands floating up and down through the gaps between the crowds of people.

Linna walked on the crowded road with her back slightly arched, her gloomy demeanor seemed out of tune with her surroundings.

You follow her at a distance, your mind in a mess.

You want to catch up with her directly to ask her for clarification, but you feel inexplicably hesitant, especially after you see her depressed state.

Her speed was neither fast nor slow, and she gradually headed towards the remote outskirts of the city.

You guessed that she should have found out that she was being followed. Before she could decide whether to appear in front of her, she subconsciously used the stealthy pace of beating the enemy, and hid herself in the surrounding buildings.

Walking to an open area, Linna said in a deep voice, "Come out..."

Sure enough, you secretly said.

There was silence all around, she turned and faced your direction, her green eyes turned dark green in the shadows, adding a touch of gloom to her: "Come out. Don't make me say it a third time."

You pause for breath, before you make a decision, you suddenly see another figure coming out of the building in front of you:

"I'm out, out!"

It was an ordinary-looking man who raised his hands up to show that he didn't have any weapons: "Don't do it!"

Linna was expressionless: "Why follow me?"

The man took out a crumpled reward order from his clothes: "You posted this just now, right? I have a clue to tell you."

Perhaps it was because she had been disappointed too many times, Linna's expression only moved slightly, and she never showed any more emotional expressions, "Let's talk..."

She stared at the other party indifferently: "If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you."

The man shrank his shoulders and said hastily, "I promise it's true!"

He took out an old newspaper from his clothes and spread it on the floor. What he saw was the front page report from 14 years ago: "The Morro family was attacked by gangsters, and the only daughter died in the flames..."

Then he placed the reward issued by Linna next to the old newspaper, and said, "The person you are looking for is her, the former eldest lady of the Moreau family, Lucia Moreau who was rumored to be buried in the sea of ​​fire..."

Linna interrupted him: "She is not dead."

"Why do you think so?"

The man asked back: "All the newspapers announced her death, and even the Morrow family held a funeral for her."

"The Moreau family? Hmph."

Linna sneered, "Because I searched through all the wreckage."

The man was startled, and she lowered her eyes, unwilling to bring up this topic again, and repeated impatiently: "Tell me, what news do you want to tell me."

He didn't ask any more questions, and his eyes stayed on the old newspaper: "Seven years ago, I heard the name "Lucia" in Moligu City, and it was said by a young man named Hisoka himself. "

Your heart skips a beat.

Linna also raised her head and stared at him in an instant.

"At that time, I was sleeping in an old newsstand. I stumbled upon a girl standing outside the newsstand reading a newspaper pasted on the glass. Her eyes stayed on Miss Moreau for a long time."

The man slowly recalled the past.

Because the time is relatively long, he will pause for a few seconds from time to time to think about the details, but fortunately it does not affect listening.

"Then a young man with red hair appeared, and he called the girl by name in a strange and angry tone."

— "Lucia"

Hearing this name, Linna immediately took two steps towards his position, and stopped as if she had just reacted.

The man didn't catch this detail, and went on with his own words: "And the girl called him 'Siso'. "

"I investigated later, and the Miss Moreau family did take in a red-haired child named Hisoka, and the age was just right. Although she looks completely different from Miss Moreau, there are some abilities in this world. Special people, maybe they don’t necessarily have to make a move.”

He glanced at Linna complicatedly, thinking of the girl's murderous upbringing experience that he learned after investigating the information, he dared not make any deletions or concealment of the news, and told the truth.

"After all, the child who can be taken in by Miss Moreau is willing to call the name "Lucia". I don't think there is anyone else besides her. "

The man let out a breath: "Okay, it's over."

He stretched out his hand and scratched the side of his face, "I have been staying in Moligu City before, and I have never been outside. I only saw the reward order when I came here this year."

Linna was silent and didn't speak, as if she was lost in thought.

He asked strangely: "Why didn't you post a reward order in Moligu City? Otherwise, I should have told you the news long ago."

"..." This sentence seemed to be a potential signal, the indifferent expression on the girl's face began to crack inch by inch, and her pupils trembled unconsciously.

She looked at the man with a puzzled face, her face was blankly pale, like a child who couldn't find her way home.

"I dare not go back."

She smiled like she was crying: "That's where she disappeared. After I found the wreckage, I never dared to go back."

You stand stiffly in the shadow of the building.

Linna's words are like arrows one after another, piercing your heart fiercely, and your internal organs seem to be being impacted by hot and turbulent emotions.

Countless fragments of memory began to appear in your mind, they were tightly entwined like unbroken threads, weaving into a vivid past after another, making you forget to breathe lightly and hide your movements.

The man moved his lips, and was about to say something, but Linna suddenly lowered her head, her long hair covered the fragile expression on her face: "You go, leave the bank account, I will put the bounty in."

he left.

Linna still stayed where she was.

After a while, she squatted down slowly, wrapping her hands around her knees.

She always liked to do this when she was a child. If she put on a wronged and coquettish posture, the eldest lady would put down the book and come over to hug her, coaxing her dotingly: "Is my little Linna sad?"

But now, now.

No one will come to hug her anymore.

"Why don't you come to me?"

Linna couldn't control the fragility in her heart anymore, she hugged herself tightly with her hands, buried her head between her knees, bit her lips, and sobbed in pain, with bitter tears streaming out of her eyes.

"Is it because I'm disobedient?"

"Why can you see Hisoka but not me..."

Suddenly, there was a panic behind her.

Looking at the source of the sound with teary eyes, a strange girl suddenly rushed out of the building and tripped over a stone because she moved too fast.But the girl didn't care at all, and looked at her suddenly.

this moment.

Apologies, misses, and deep sadness.

All these complicated emotions burst out from the strange girl's eyes in an instant, as if they contained indescribable mysterious magic power, which instantly defeated Linna.

I can dodge.

Lina thought, I could have avoided it.

But at that moment, she seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground by an invisible force, just stood still in a daze, watching the girl rush over and hugged her into her arms.

A strange but familiar feeling suddenly surged in the depths of my soul.

Her fingertips trembled involuntarily.

"sorry Sorry!"

The other party hugged her in a posture that she missed so much that she almost wanted to cry, so that she could no longer raise any thoughts of resistance, and could only stand there like a fool who couldn't use her brain.

"I watched you being brought back to Youkexin by the housekeeper, and later arranged for a maid to take care of you. I know that you will grow up healthy there, so I am most assured of you."

Linna even stopped breathing, she couldn't believe what she was hearing at this moment, for fear that she would find out that it was just an illusion in the blink of an eye.

But the other party still continued to speak:

"I thought you'd be fine."

The girl who hugged her.

He said to her in a sad tone that made people tremble:

"Why are you not happy at all and keep crying?"

Gloomy is crying, indifference is crying.

To not speak is to cry, and to be expressionless is also to cry.

That immature blond girl never disappeared, she was just quietly hidden in the bottom of my heart, vacating a place closest to the heart, huddled alone in the corner and weeping silently.

"Did I do something wrong at that time?"

In this empty and lonely place, the other party was also crying, but he comforted her with a gentle voice, as if returning to the distant and nostalgic past: "Little Linna, don't cry, I'm here to see you."

……

What does it feel like to be carried away with joy?

Lina couldn't tell.

All she knew was that she opened her mouth repeatedly, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say, and she could only sobbing and accusing the other party in the end.

"Big liar, you said before that you would take me to see those strange landscapes in the book, but you didn't do it at all; and you showed up seven years ago, but you didn't come to me!"

The other party's voice was extremely soft: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

All the complaints implying coquettishness were accepted, and Linna couldn't bear it anymore, she burst into tears, and then hugged the villain tightly like a wronged child.

"Oh, miss..."

"Linna has always, always missed you."

And this person, whom she would cry and call out his name in her dreams, was kneeling on the land, allowing her to bury her face in her arms, and gently stroked her long hair with her fingers.

"I know……"
