The Coming Rain

Chapter.25

It was already evening when I woke up, and the rain outside the window had already lightened a lot. By the time Charlotte and the others left, the rain should have stopped.

When Charlotte woke up, she saw Ainuo's gentle black pupils, which were as warm as black jade, and looked at her with a smile: "Are you awake?" "Uh...eh? Why am I sleeping on your lap?" Xia Luo Luo quickly sat up, scratching his sleepy hair a little embarrassedly.

"When I finished my work, I saw you sleeping on the chair and you were about to fall down. After I supported you, you became like this. Speaking of which, Charlotte, you are going to lose weight. My legs are numb from the pressure." "I You haven't gained weight!" Charlotte was retorting Ainuo's words, but saw Ainuo take a comb, push away Charlotte's hand scratching her hair, and comb her hair gently and slowly.

"Ainuo..." "Don't move." Ainuo's tone was very slow, but Charlotte felt unable to continue, so she obediently let Ainuo comb her hair.

The teeth of the comb were hidden in the reddish-brown hair, combing out the knotted places smoothly until the long hair hung behind his head like the finest satin.

I don't know if it's because of some other reason, Ainuo didn't tie her long hair into Charlotte's usual single ponytail, but tied some of the hair on both sides behind her head, and most of the hair was loose. .In this way, the hair on both sides will not get in the way, and it will look very ladylike.

Charlotte smacked her lips at the mirror: "Ainuo, you have really good hands, or have you combed the hair of many other girls?" "That's not true, you are the first." He stroked Charlotte's head, then withdrew his hand again, as if he was afraid of messing up the newly combed hair.

"Ainuo, what are you worried about?" Charlotte no longer looked at the girl in the mirror who had matured a lot because of the change in hairstyle, but turned to look at Ainuo, "If you are worried that Kuroro and the others will treat us Let's go, it's nothing to worry about, you know my ability, we can escape easily, and I also made an agreement with Kuroro, when we leave, I will use my ability to let him die I have never had any feelings for me so far..."

Before he finished speaking, he was embraced into a warm embrace.Charlotte's eyes widened, but she couldn't see Aino's expression, only the color of the clothes on her shoulders. "Aino?" Charlotte asked cautiously, "I mean it, you have to trust me."

"I believe in you." Ainuo's voice was still soft, "I believe that Charlotte will live a good and happy life." "And Ainuo you." Charlotte emphasized, hugged Ainuo, and patted comfortingly Patting Ainuo on the back, even though she knew that Ainuo couldn't see her expression, she still showed a relaxed and bright smile.

After a long time, Ainuo let go of his hand, touched Charlotte's head as usual, and showed a warm smile: "I will always be with you forever. By the way," he seemed to remember something, "Charlotte, Do you remember what I said when I saw you grown up?"

Of course Charlotte remembered, very clearly: "You said that you have some ideas about the new design." "Yeah, it's almost finished. In fact, it should have been completed earlier. I didn't expect to receive the task of the Eye of Tuya, so I just finished it." It's been delayed until now." Ainuo looked at her and smiled, "It's a gift for you, specially made for you." Charlotte looked surprised: "For me?" "Yes, but the last step is still to be completed, Just wait and see." Ainuo's hand slid onto Charlotte's bangs, her fine hair blocked Charlotte's sight, although she couldn't see Ainuo's expression, Charlotte still showed a happy smile.

The dining process was smooth but also very embarrassing. Almost no one spoke at the dinner table, only the chivalrous man would occasionally say a few words to Charlotte. Whether Kurolo, Jialan, or Ainuo, they were all silent. Charlotte I didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much, but thought that I could leave soon, so I endured it.

After the meal, Charlotte was about to discuss with Kuroro about getting rid of her relationship, but Kuroro interrupted her first: "Let me take you to the entrance of the mansion." "...um." Xia Luo thought that she had indeed developed a certain habit in those six years, and she could not refuse Kuroro's request, let alone the last request.

There is a distance from the entrance to the mansion. The mansion in the center of the garden is separated from the entrance by a long white stone brick road, with grass gardens on both sides, but it looks a bit dilapidated under today's weather conditions.

Charlotte and Kuroro walked almost side by side, and Ainuo walked behind them, leaving only one seat vacant. Although he still preferred to walk with Ainuo, but seeing Kuroro's face beside him, he could only sigh. Walk quietly and honestly.

When he reached the middle of the stone-brick road, Kurolo stopped in his tracks: "It's fine here, I don't want to send it any further." "Okay, I'll just..." Before Charlotte finished speaking, she felt The strong killing intent almost instantly set up a protective shield for Ainuo.

"Tsk, it's still the same despicable ability." Jialan snorted coldly, the death scythe in his hand hit the protective shield, but was bounced hard, and jumped back a few meters away.

"Krollo!" Charlotte looked at Kurolo, who had retreated to Jialan's side, and the knight was standing beside Kurolo, his clenched fists were white with knuckles, "Are you still determined to be an enemy?"

The boy's black hair was blown by the wind, and the equal-armed cross under his bangs was still clearly visible in the darkening night, and the corner of his mouth even had a slight curvature: "The enemy? Of course not, this is just a hunt. You are my prey."

"You think you can catch me?" Charlotte laughed, flipped her wrists, and pulled out two guns out of nowhere. The black muzzles were aimed at Kuroro.Her tone suddenly became sharp, "I don't have the patience to play games with you anymore!"

"Charlotte, wait a minute." Ainuo's words came from behind Charlotte, and he was still dragging a small box in his hand, which should be the ring carved by Tuya's eye—belonging to Kuroro..." Ring of Tuya." Ainuo said and threw the box over, Kurolo caught it, but still looked at Charlotte in front of Ainuo.

Charlotte didn't care about Kuroro's gaze, but she still stared at Kuroro in case the other party made a sudden move.

The murderous intent came again, but it was not from Kurolo, but from Charlotte's left hand side. Charlotte fired a shot at that side without even thinking about it. A black figure jumped out of the shadows to avoid the bullets. , but still rushed over at an extremely fast speed.In the rushing figure, Charlotte caught a touch of gold.

Feitan.Charlotte froze for a moment, but his subordinates quickly used the breech of the gun to hold the point of the attacking umbrella, and met the cold eyes of the man wrapped in the black cloak, which almost stabbed her.Charlotte kicked him suddenly and was easily dodged by Feitan, but Charlotte didn't care about fighting with Feitan, and met another person who was trying to sneak attack.

He was a swordsman, dressed like a samurai, and the speed and strength of the sword should not be underestimated. Charlotte dodged the sword sideways, but was still scratched by the golden arrow across the left cheek, and there was a bloody mouth immediately. .The pain made her narrow her left eye slightly, and this moment of distraction caused her to be stabbed by Feitan's umbrella tip, and the waist and abdomen were pierced neatly. The pain almost made her want to let go of her two guns.

It's a quick attack. This kind of attack rhythm is too fast. She can't get a moment's pause, so she can only passively defend non-stop.

defense?Charlotte laughed silently, threw her two guns at Feitan and the swordsman quite rudely, jumped up vigorously, and came to the roof after a few ups and downs. Although such actions caused her to be attacked several times, her body There were more wounds, but in the end it was enough time for her to use her ability—the ability of the Cherry Keeper.

The fingers bent, opened and closed, closed and separated, and several curse marks were laid in the blink of an eye. "Protection", "illness", "healing"...all are to strengthen one's own attack ability.Of course she wanted to use her cheating and more direct abilities—such as directly taking out their souls, but no, she couldn't do it, not because she didn't want to attack the Phantom Troupe, but because Ainuo didn't want to.

At the beginning, her ability restriction and soul burning were indeed canceled by Ainuo, but Ainuo was the master of her contract after all. Even if he didn't say it, as long as he didn't want to, Charlotte couldn't use those more powerful abilities.

Charlotte couldn't understand why Ainuo didn't allow her to use those abilities, which even included space transfer, which made it impossible for her to leave with Ainuo.Just about to go down and continue to deal with those guys and take Ainuo away, Charlotte felt the killing intent roaring from behind, and subconsciously turned around to block, but was still hit with great force and hit the opposite wall superior.

Charlotte only felt a sweetness in her throat, and she swallowed the fishy-sweet liquid that rushed into her throat.

It was a man wearing animal skins, tall, muscular and fierce, and after this man appeared, he formed a cooperation with the swordsman just now and became more difficult to deal with.Of course Charlotte knows who these people are. The Phantom Troupe is really strong, but Kurolo... what kind of character is the leader of the Phantom Troupe?She actually talked to Kuroro like that before, she was really... sick in her head!Everything was an illusion, it was deceiving her from the moment she entered this mansion.

He lied to her that Shui Zi saw through her soul form, lied to her that he still valued her, lied to her that he could negotiate terms with him, and even pretended to be angry and hurt to make her believe...

"Krollo, you've been lying to me from the beginning to the end, it's ridiculous that I still want to believe you." Charlotte murmured, not wanting to fight those spiders anymore, and jumped into the trap that Aino had just set up. In the protective cover: "Aino, let's get out of here..."

The severe pain again caused the girl's black eyes to reveal an expression of disbelief. She lowered her head and looked at her abdomen. A dagger was deeply pierced into the skin, and the dark red blood flowed down the blade. The drops coalesce into a small puddle.

Lightning tore through the hazy sky, the gray scenery was blown apart by silver, the wind swept the withered yellow grass leaves on the ground, whistling in everyone's ears like a mournful wail, and the heavy rain slammed down again, crackling.

Charlotte looked at the pair of black jade-like eyes looking at her with sad eyes, and felt that what was really stabbed was her heart.
