Vatican City
The sky was covered with dark clouds. In the distance, the clouds that should have been black turned into a strange red color. The places covered by the red fog became more and more.
Liuli walked quickly on the street. The peaceful scenery of the past was no longer there. The people on the road looked miserable. Only occasionally when they saw her, they would force a smile and say hello to her.
As the red fog spread, even the residents living in Vatican City now have a big problem in food, not to mention the cities closer to the red fog.
The city of Louis, which Liuli had visited before, has fallen at this moment. Most of the residents have been infected by the spread of the red fog and have become zombies.
Since Liuli discovered that she could purify the red fog, she has hardly rested and has been using her ability to continuously purify the red fog around the Vatican City. Unfortunately, as Liuli in the Venerable Realm, facing the overwhelming red fog, her power is still too inadequate.
"Isn't this little Liuli?" A woman with long dark blue hair suddenly smiled and greeted her.
Liuli was stunned for a moment, and then she slowly bowed after seeing who it was. "Aunt Miranda, hello."
She was the descendant of her father, the wife of Knight Lucius.
"Little Liuli, don't be so polite. You must be exhausted these days. Come in and sit down. I just made some baked muffins here." Miranda walked up, took Liuli's hand, and pulled her into her yard.
"But... Aunt Miranda, I have something to do." Liuli was a little uncomfortable with Miranda's enthusiasm. Aunt Miranda had always taken good care of herself, so Liuli could only reluctantly refuse.
"Oh, it's not a big deal now. It won't delay you for long. It was Lanqi who wanted to eat it today, so I made it. Liuli, you just happened to meet it." Miranda said with a smile, and pressed Liuli on the stool without saying anything.
Well... Liuli thought, the current situation is indeed like this, and it doesn't make any difference if it's a little earlier or later.
"Sister Liuli!" Just then, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old ran out and hugged Liuli's thighs. "Sister Liuli hasn't been home for a long time. Are you very busy recently?"
Lan Qi is Aunt Miranda's daughter. Like Aunt Miranda, she has beautiful long dark blue hair.
"Sorry, little Lan Qi, sister is busy with some things recently. After..." Liuli smiled gently and touched Lan Qi's little head. Just when she said the word after, she suddenly stopped.
Does she still have the chance to say after? She seemed to have no chance to make a promise for the future.
"After... what's wrong?" Lan Qi tilted her little head and asked curiously.
"No, nothing, sister will come to see you more often after she is done with her work." Liuli forced a smile and told a white lie. "Sister brought a few candies. I remember you used to love this kind of milk candy."
"Great, I like Sister Liuli the most." Lan Qi took the candy and cheered, and happily turned around Liuli.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy?" Aunt Miranda came out with a baked muffin and asked with a smile.
"Hehe, Sister Liuli brought me some milk candy. Sister Liuli is the best." Lanqi said happily.
"Well, you can't eat too much, or you'll get cavities." Miranda put the baked muffin on the table and said with a smile.
"I know, mom is so nagging." Lanqi stuck out her tongue playfully, and Liuli couldn't help but smile.
"Come on, little Liuli, you haven't tasted Aunt's cooking for a long time. Come and try it to see if it suits your taste." Miranda cut off a piece, put it on a plate and handed it to Liuli.
"Thank you, Aunt Miranda." Liuli cut a small piece with a knife and fork and put it in her mouth.
The muffin has a dense texture, sweet but not greasy, and has a hint of milk aroma. Liuli seems to have only tasted this taste at Aunt Miranda's place.
"It's delicious, Aunt Miranda, thank you." Liuli thanked her softly. The wonderful taste made her miss it a little, and it also brought a touch of coolness to her anxious heart.
It seemed that she and Mo Lin had eaten baked muffins before. Sweets were more to his taste. If he ate the baked muffins made by Aunt Miranda, he would definitely like it.
Liuli always thought of Mo Lin inadvertently. Even if she ate delicious food, she would unconsciously think that it would be great if he could eat it too.
"If it's delicious, eat more. I made a lot today." Aunt Miranda said with a smile, "Don't leave any for Lucius. He hasn't been home for a few days. When he comes back, the muffins will be spoiled."
"Uncle Lucius has been very hard recently." Liuli whispered.
"I know, this is strange.The red fog, no one knows how it started, even the Pope and the Paladin can't do anything about it. "Miranda sighed.
"I'm sorry..." Liuli didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to say it.
"What are you sorry for, little Liuli? We have seen what you have done for us during this period of time. You have worked hard, Liuli." Miranda said hurriedly.
She knew the fate of this child... and the future she had to face.
"This is what I should do." Liuli shook her head. She didn't think she needed to be thanked for what she did.
She knew in her heart that she wanted to be a "deserter."
"Lanqi, go back to your room first." Miranda suddenly said to her daughter.
"Okay, mom." Lanqi saw that the situation was not right, took her plate, and returned to her own small room.
"Liuli, in your heart, there seems to be something... tangled, can you tell me about it? "Miranda sat down next to Liuli, held her hand, and said softly.
Liuli was silent... She could see people's emotions, and she could understand that Aunt Miranda was really concerned about her, but... she couldn't understand her own emotions.
"Aunt, I..." Liuli opened her mouth, but still didn't say it.
Miranda gently hugged Liuli's head.
"Little Liuli, you are afraid, right?"
"... Yeah" After a long silence, Liuli responded softly.
She was indeed afraid, and there was no need to hide it. She was afraid of forgetting everything, afraid of forgetting the memories of Mo Lin.
"I'm sorry, Liuli, it's obviously something that adults should worry about, but they put all the responsibility on you." Miranda's voice was very low, even with a hint of crying.
"Aunt Miranda, don't be sad, this is not anyone's fault." Liuli raised her head and gently wiped Aunt Miranda's tears with a handkerchief.
"Thank you, Aunt Miranda, I should go now, thank you for your hospitality. "Liuli bowed and hurried out of the house.
Miranda's feelings... were for Liuli who inherited the legacy, but now she... didn't want to take on that responsibility.
The huge sense of shame made her flee from here.
