[Twilight] Believer

Max slowly settled most of the breakfast on the table, nimbly wiped off the jam remaining in the corner of her mouth with her fingers, and drank a large cup of cappuccino with rich flavor, and the white cream drew a picture on her lips. Circle, a rare little girl gesture.From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the back of Caius standing in front of the window, with a thin and tall figure, and a meticulous and upright standing posture. The dark golden pattern reflected a low-key light on the hem of his robe, as if he had noticed her gaze, and slightly The side face cuts the light refracted from the outside into a golden ratio.

When she licked the cream off her mouth and was about to attack the minced meat pancakes, Caius called for someone to remove the food from the table.Felix took the food from Max's hand with a frowning expression, and then picked up the table and walked out of the library. She followed Felix's footsteps with puzzled and hot eyes.

As Felix walked, he cursed at the same time. He never thought that this human being would linger in Voltura. You must know that he has been waiting for his leader Caius to end her ignorant and arrogant life.The most hateful thing is that when he talked to Jane about why Caius was so kind to this human being, Jane looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, followed by the body burning technique that burned even the bones...

Max's hand stopped in the air like this, and he looked at Caius with his mouth flattened, as if complaining about his stinginess and stinginess.He frowned, as if to explain: "You eat too much."

"I hope you haven't forgotten that I haven't eaten for many days." Max said weakly.

"I hope I remember correctly, overeating is not a good habit." He turned his head away and replied lightly.

Max's eyes full of resentment flicked across his face, and the mural on the wall had to answer: "I know."

Suddenly, all the voices disappeared, only the halo dangled between the two.Since when did they get to this point where they could talk about eating and drinking?She is still more used to this person throwing herself around and smashing her to pieces.This feeling was indescribably awkward, she lowered her head to look at the heavy map.

There was an old smell on the kraft paper that slowly spread into the air as she opened it. His eyes fell on her eyelashes unconsciously, and the redness in his pupils reflected the muscle lines on her face. Change, vaguely looking forward to something.

Max originally just wanted to get a city map to facilitate his future actions, but unexpectedly he got the most exquisite and detailed map. Would it be too sloppy to use a map to describe this painting?Her fingers caressed the handwriting on the paper, and the light golden lines accurately restored the direction and layout of the entire city. On the dark red seal in the lower left corner is a domineering and artistic floral "C"...

Her heart sank for no reason, and a sense of weightlessness penetrated into her body fiercely. She bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing how to express her feelings at this moment, so she had to roll it up quickly and randomly until the red ribbon Her heart finally calmed down after clinging to the map.The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of her disordered breathing remained, she looked up at him unexpectedly, he stood there forming a scene of his own.

Max seemed to hear the sound of "crack, bang, bang" when his hands were clenched into fists. His straight eyebrows were not a sign of anger, but what happened to the gnashing of teeth, his forward steps In a hurry, the proud chin seemed to shrink back, and the red lips puffed up like a child when he was irritated.

Just when Caius was furiously about to take away the sent map, Max subconsciously shielded it, and somehow snatched it from Caius' hands, she raised her head, questioning in her eyes In dissatisfaction with his capriciousness.But Caius just looked at her and didn't speak. His eyes changed from anger at the beginning to calmness and then to doubt. There was a gust of wind in his raised palm. Max mistakenly thought that he was going to hit him and quickly closed the wound on the back of his eye. The back of the chair suddenly burst into tears.

When she opened her eyes again, Caius had already left, like a typhoon passing by, turning her mind into a mess.

Aro stood in the middle of the hall and waited for Caius. He turned his head and winked at Marcus slyly: "You lost, Marcus. I heard Caius' footsteps coming towards us."

Marcus's closed eyelids lifted and moved elsewhere, which did not affect Aro's mood of continuing to chatter: "He must realize that he is falling into a situation that cannot be turned back, and then regret his disapproval." Control, then..."

At this moment, the door had been pushed open vigorously, making a harsh friction sound. Caius almost flew to his seat, crossed his legs on his knees, rested his chin in thought, distracted, and waited for Luo. inquiry.

Unexpectedly, it was Marcus who spoke first.

He asked: "Did you successfully refute what she said?" Caius looked at his brother as if he had seen a ghost, stood up "teng", and followed the door being thrown roughly and violently again. Then, Caius disappeared again.

Find Jaina and tell her the title of the book, and ask her to find that troublesome spirit. She must read it carefully and admit that the feelings between human beings are hypocritical and short-lived. And loyal feelings.

He couldn't think of any reason for himself to go back to the library and continue to continue the meaningless...communication with that lifeless woman. Obviously, the original intention of confining her in the Voltura was to repay the day's death. Qiu, how did it become like this?

Caius returned to the seat in the conference hall, and Aro couldn't wait to ask to know what he was thinking at the moment. Caius stretched out his hand coldly. He was so upset that Aro could help him see what was going on. It's a good thing to come, but what I'm afraid of is...

Aro's bewildered and erratic expression confirmed Caius' thoughts, and it seemed that his brother couldn't see clearly what he wanted at the moment.

Aro put down his hands resentfully and turned to look at Marcus, saying, "Dear Marcus, I'm afraid this time you need to see clearly the feelings of our honored visitor——Max...relationships, the world, or something else. .Can’t wait to find out.”

"I don't think there is anything to be curious about." Caius reminded, "Besides, isn't she a talent to shield all vampires?"

"Haha, don't forget that we now have the trump card of Catherine." Ah Luo covered his mouth and laughed, staring at Caius's face, "Or are you not curious at all, what did the little girl call who."

"Ah Luo," Caius put his face on the floor seriously, "I think it is necessary to check the situation in the north now. I believe you also know that it has not been very peaceful recently, and there are even traces of werewolves."

After speaking, without waiting for Arrow's instructions, he took Alec to the north.

A Luo and Marcus looked at each other, and the latter said without thinking, "He is very similar to you at that time." Successfully made A Luo's playful eyes cool down, "You know I don't want to come from You heard all the memories of her."

"Sometimes, your talent really makes me love and hate."

(at the same time)

Jaina's graceful appearance in the book-filled library is indeed a beautiful enjoyment, but the complicated relationship between them at this moment really makes Max's head hurt.She shuttled back and forth among the bookshelves, and soon pushed a cart of books to the desk in front of Max. With a faint smile on her face, she spread the books on the table one by one. The page numbers were exactly the same as what Caius said .

"These are the book lists made by adults, and there are parts that you need to read. It is a response to what you said in the hospital." At this moment, Jane pushed the door and entered, and Jaina hurriedly left humbly upon seeing this.

Standing under the huge archway, Jane's figure became smaller and smaller, and the double-layer cloak she wore gave off a retro atmosphere of the old era. Her expressionless face looked no different from Alec's, and she had the face of an angel. Instant chocolate.If he hadn't fought against her before, Max would probably have regarded her as a neighbor's little girl who was not good at speaking and loved retro braided hair, but the reality was a resounding slap in the face.

This little vampire has an almost destructive attack power, which is enough to make a vampire want to die, let alone an ordinary person.

Jane came to convey A Luo's banquet, and she spoke slowly, her indifferent tone couldn't hear the modesty of the invitation: "A Luo invites you to dinner tonight." When it came to the word dinner, she couldn't help showing sarcasm smile.

Seeing Max's puzzled expression, he added: "Don't worry, the staple food is not you, human beings. Of course, you also have the right to refuse, but..." She shrugged like an adult, really indescribably charming. silly.

After speaking, Jane left like a storm. Sure enough, the vampires in Volturi use flying to walk.

Max bored and started to read the homework assigned by Caius (by mistake), before reading a few lines, he flipped through the next book with some frustration, but the more he read it, the more annoying he became.

The whole story is expounding the touching love story and brotherhood between vampires. If it is too hard, it will appear deliberate.Max closed the book vigorously, and she covered all the books on the table after a while.Operate the electric wheelchair to go deep into the museum. Most of the books here are handmade books, covering geography, celestial bodies, art, medical skills, etc., but Max wants to read a normal book at the moment to buffer Caius List of books listed.

Literary novels came after the history category, with a thick layer of dust accumulated on it. She struggled to find a relatively clean book, and when she opened it, she felt very warm and familiar—it was in English!

It seemed to be a fan work of a drama that was popular many years ago. She flipped the pages of the book wordlessly. She had been making fun of Caius and the others for being old-fashioned.Vampires started writing fan fiction thousands of years ahead of humans. Although I haven't watched the original drama, the content of this book is ups and downs, and the writing is concise and beautiful, but it has a lingering flavor.

She was fascinated by it for a while, and she simply left the wheelchair and sat down by the window, and the whole afternoon passed like this without knowing it.

At the moment when she turned to "End of the Full Text", she was still thinking about the plot in the book. Finally, the author said that the birth of the book was due to the strong request of her lover. What shocked her was that the author was Marcus—he In the postscript, his lover Didymi also mentioned the influence of the original drama on them.

Closing the book stupidly, she felt goosebumps for no reason at all. She never expected that someone like Marcus would write a book with a skill comparable to that of a literary master for her lover's... ridiculous request... um, How to say, an almost cheesy adventure story (plot provided by Didemi).

And this kind of adventure story mainly attracts readers who pass the time in boring time like her.

Probably, this is love.

At this time, Jaina came to the library and invited Max to dinner.

Along the way through the endless corridors, neither of them spoke a word. When they were still ten meters away from the meeting hall, Jaina tapped a word and transmitted it on the screen of the mobile phone. She said: "Trust ( Truth)".

At this moment Catherine opened the door and walked towards them. This was the second time Max had seen her in the Volturi.

The Volturi uniform fit her indescribably, and even the "V" necklace around her neck stated the same fact.Max looked at Catherine, both of them looked unnaturally.

"This is not suitable for reminiscing about the past, Ah Luo has been waiting inside for a long time." Jane suddenly appeared in front of them and said.

Her suspicious eyes flicked back and forth between Catherine and Max. For a moment, Max lost the thought of continuing to talk, and manipulated the means of transportation into the restaurant by himself.

At this moment, she didn't have any mood to appreciate these cultural relics from the ancient centuries. All her attention was devoted to guarding against Ah Luo, and she felt a little exhausted when she thought about it.

In fact, this is no different from an ordinary family banquet, the difference is that only she, the guest, is full of food in front of her, but she has no appetite at all, and all the will of the whole person is extremely concentrated. To be pinched purple by one's own fingers.

Ah Luo complained with a smile: "Do I make you feel so nervous? Max."

Max smiled back in embarrassment and didn't speak. Except for Caius and the baby-faced Alec who were not there, the top vampires in the Volturi line were all there. Ah Luo looked at each other, and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Marcus's face that hadn't changed for thousands of years.

After reading that book in the afternoon, in Max's cognition, the only normal person in the entire castle is Marcus.

Painful realization.

Ah Luo winked at Catherine at this moment, telling her to treat Max like this.Catherine did so, but Max turned to look at Catherine telepathically, and she knew it.

In Marcus's eyes, he immediately saw the various colors and images emanating from Max. Although they looked like the kaleidoscopes that humans loved to play with when they were children, they only had three colors of black, white and gray. Colorful things, but more red.

Li Feier also has a fit and tall human man who occupied most of her memories when she was a teenager. When she was an adult, she mostly dated a short-haired, amorous white woman, and occasionally there were various... who could be called "boyfriends". man.

Max's loss of feeling didn't last long, but she knew it was because of Catherine.

The moment her eyes lost focus, she thought of the "trust" Jaina said. The road in front of her was full of doubts. Which map should she trust?

(Small theater: The following additional meals are specially given to the tofu soup and Arrow in the group)

After Caius returned from the north, he learned from the conversation between Alec and Jane that Aro had invited Max to the restaurant. He probably guessed how bad his brother's heart of gossip was ignited, especially Ma. Kus had no intention (forced) to cooperate, God knows how naive it was.

Once such a setting is accepted, everything that follows is acceptable.

With this in mind, Caius cleaned off the dust on his body and went to the chamber to meet Aro and Marcus.

Although Aro seemed interested in his report, Caius knew he was waiting for him to ask about the dinner, well, I'll just ask.

"Does she... eat a lot?" (The writing is broken, please don't beat me)

Ah Luo's expression seemed to swallow a fly, but he quickly adjusted and said: "Her appetite is not very good, and she is too nervous to see me."

Now it was Caius who was depressed, she had breakfast in front of her...

"But we came to an interesting conclusion."

Caius raised his chin slightly and listened attentively.

"Little girl... She has a lot of emotional experience. Isn't that right, Marcus." Aro turned his complacent eyes to Marcus, who nodded honestly in Aro's loving eyes.
