"You know ferrets, sir."

I smiled and looked at the supervisor in front of me, and saw a flash of surprise in the golden pupils under the mask.Jack looked at me suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why I suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter.

"Perhaps you have heard that it is a beautiful and spiritual creature... It's a pity that no matter how beautiful a creature is, it can't match the greed of human beings. After all, even in the upper class, such beautiful fur is quite sought after."

I finished speaking on my own, and sighed slightly: "Different from natural elves, human beings are no longer allowed in heaven since they ate the forbidden fruit and became infected with original sin. They can only linger on the earth. They capture and snatch all beautiful things, but I don't know how to cherish and care. No matter how intelligent and spiritual life is, it can't match the greedy desire/desire of human beings.

"So... what do you want to express?"

The supervisor, who was left with only a skeleton, did not have the breath of a living person. He turned his face sideways and looked at my expression quite interestingly, as if he wanted to see something from my face.

I smiled innocently: "Maybe I just want to share a story with you."

――What do I want to do?After coming to the manor, this question has been asked too many times-but what is the point?No matter what kind of answer is given, as long as it can satisfy the person in front of him, it seems to make no difference.People just want to hear the answers they want to hear, and often only see what they want to see.How indifferent people are, they ignore and discard everything they don't expect or want.

Before Joseph came, Jack was undoubtedly the supervisor who communicated with me the most.The false politeness that always lacks sincerity is like a mask on each other's faces. He doesn't believe me, but how did I ever believe him?

My eyes fell from the white mask to the cold and sharp finger blades. It won't be long before the fog blades will condense again.I said slowly:

"Do you know how humans capture ferrets?"

"In order to capture this beautiful creature, I did not hesitate to lie naked in the snow, lose temperature in the snow and cold wind, shiver and even lose consciousness, and the kind-hearted ferret, when the hunter is about to freeze It emerges when it dies, and is warmed by its own down and body heat."

"And human beings took this opportunity to grab the ferret and peel off the beautiful fur to satisfy their selfish desires."

"...sounds selfish and cruel."

The supervisor pretended to be emotional, and looked at me with his cold golden eyes. As a dangerous hunter, Jack is not something to be fooled.After a moment of silence, as if he had read something, he laughed lowly: "It's an interesting story."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell your fiancé?"

"It's just a story, and . . . can you tell it?"

"Ha, cunning little girl." Jin Tong's smile didn't reach his eyes: "How do you tell me to believe in your so-called love, little Beth Fenli?"

"Why not?" I stretched out my hand to straighten my hair, which was a little messy during the escape, and curled it with my fingers on a whim.Why should the Ripper, who is cruel and arrogant by nature, question me?As he himself said, love is something that the regulator himself doesn't understand. It's an unpredictable thing, but it can make people unable to help themselves.Such elusive things just prove that emotions are uncontrollable.

"You are quite courageous," the supervisor said slowly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have noticed this. You have erased the abruptness of the design by relying on the fact that the new supervisor doesn't know you well. I also satisfied my curiosity..."

He sneered very loudly: "But I still don't feel right."

"Although I don't understand it very well, my intuition tells me that you have fooled everyone."

Moving the sharp finger blade, the supervisor's voice became cold: "Cunning little girl, how dare you do this?"

"I dare not fool you."

"Really?" He sneered mockingly. While we were talking, the cipher machines lit up one after another, and only one was left in an instant.The Ripper stared at me coldly, and his voice gradually gritted his teeth: "You are delaying time again."

The supervisor's sharp finger blades were covered with a layer of cold mist, the chat ended, I turned around and ran, and the sound of wooden boards being crushed came from behind me.

I dodged the oncoming fogblade and didn't have time to turn over the window, so I could only take a detour from the side. When I was about to be caught up, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance!

This scene is really familiar. The supervisor was hit by the wall and fell into a brief dizziness. With the cover of the striker, I smoothly turned into the hospital.

Jack was probably furious, but the only remaining cipher machine would be turned on at some point, and even the Ripper felt a sense of urgency.

"Beth Fenli, you're fine." Across the collapsed wall, Jack's golden eyes gave me a cold look, and my figure turned into a red light and disappeared.The striker and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Miss Beth Fenley, are you alright!" the forward asked urgently after the crisis was over.

"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. William. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have been caught." I smiled gratefully at him.

"It's, it's nothing..." He blushed and scratched his head, "You've been holding down the supervisor for a long time, I, I'm a little worried... Well, I mean, you're amazing!" He stammered Baba's explanation.

To be honest, since the rumors spread, it is really rare to see such a clear concern... I went back to the ruins to find the cipher machine that I had deciphered most of it, and asked curiously:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"What's strange?" He looked a little confused.

I thought about the sentence: "Because... I have always been weak, and I was not caught this time, and there are those things in the manor... Don't you think it's strange?"

He froze for a moment.

"If it's someone else, I should be suspicious." I lowered my eyes: "Maybe I have reached some kind of agreement with the supervisor? Maybe..."

"Miss Beth Fernley!"

The striker interrupted me: "I just know that you have been training very hard, I believe you... no, no matter what those rumors are..." His face was a little shy, but his voice was firm : "I will help you! If, if Beth Fenley's wish is to escape, I will do my best to help you!"

I was startled, and my eyes softened: "Thank you, Mr. William."

He grinned, glanced at me, and looked away as if he had been burned, his face was a little red: "No, it's nothing."

I fell silent and turned my attention back to the cipher machine.Why do you defend me like this?I didn't ask.

After turning on the last cipher machine, the whistle echoed over the hospital.The striker and I were located very close to the cabin, and there was an escape door there.On the way to open the door, the screams of another survivor came from afar.

Enter the password and open the gate. This successful escape brought me closer to the final battle.I looked up at the forever gray sky of Odiris Manor——I will leave here sooner or later.

He brushed some scattered hair behind his ears, and the black hair was wrapped around his fair fingertips, and he couldn't help but think of the way that person caressed his hair.

Jack's doubts seemed to still ring in his ears.

I am not qualified to love anyone, and I have never been a kind person.The reason why I came to Odiris Manor was desire or sin. For me, it may be both.As for which of the two reasons is more, even I can't tell.I seem to be walking the mother's old road, the end of the road can only be destroyed, but what does that matter?

The magician doesn't get it, Jack doesn't get it, everybody doesn't get it... Get used to spinning the web, get used to waiting, and then you can't change it.

The author has something to say: Happy New Year everyone~

I reminded you that the heroine is not as simple as it seems on the surface~

As mentioned earlier, there is no villain in this article, because the real big boss is actually the two protagonists! (Of course, if you say it’s Zhu Wan, I can’t refute it≧﹏≦)

This article is actually a story of two sesame dumplings, you come and I fight against each other, just look at the story of who is better :) I rewrote this chapter four times, and I have to be more careful in the future...

So here comes the question, what do you understand from the story of the ferret?
