PS: Fatigue. . Is April sickness coming? ================================================== ====== After an unknown amount of time, Alice, who was immersed in the darkness, felt the presence of light. She tried to open her eyes and saw the blue sky. With a little difficulty, Alice raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight. Suddenly, Alice suddenly realized that her connection with Alaya had been completely severed as Lilith said, and that was flowing in her body. The familiar power belongs to the black spirit.
Feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar body, Alice not only recalled all the things that happened in the castle built by Lilith, but every one of them surprised Alice. The originally burning castle has become so beautiful. The perfect combination of Victorian and Gothic styles, coupled with my favorite fragrant iris garden, this is simply my dream residence.
But after walking around the entire courtyard, Alice could not find Lilith. At first, Alice thought Lilith was playing a game with her. But when Alice used the cheating technique, she realized that Lilith's position could not be felt in the entire space. Alice, who realized something was wrong, finally found a letter in Lilith's room, with the words "Lily is the only one" written on the cover. Characteristic words that can only be written with silk.
For this font, Alice could only sigh helplessly. Fortunately, she had been trained by Lilith, otherwise the translation would have been enough for her to drink. After cutting the letter open, the content inside was beyond his expectation. What Lilith left behind was not an ordinary letter, but a magic letter. In the light of magic, a small projection of Lilith appeared from it. : "Long time no see, sister, did I scare you this time?"
Hearing what Lilith said, Alice's anxious mind relaxed a little. Maybe Lilith ran out to help like before. But what Lilith said next made Alice completely stunned. Unknowingly, the letter slipped from Alice's hand and fell to the desk.
=================The dividing line at the end of memories========================
Just when Alice was remembering, the voice of Barlow the Demon sounded beside her: "Huh? Are you awake?"
This voice interrupted Alice's memories, and she subconsciously stood up and made a fighting posture. But it seemed that because he had been sleeping for too long, standing up suddenly caused a lack of blood supply to the brain. He shook his head vigorously to shake off the dizziness.
After finally returning to normal, Alice realized that the Barlow Demon did not sneak attack on her. Instead, he respectfully stood in front of her and made the highest etiquette to meet his king: "The twelfth Duke, Barlow." , I have met my king. I have offended you many times before, please punish me."
"I" After hearing the other party's introduction, Alice subconsciously wanted to reject the other party, but when she thought of the content of the letter, she could no longer say the words of rejection. In the end, Alice could only say helplessly: "Forget it, forget about the past."
"Oh?" Barlow was a little surprised by Alice's answer. After all, he had never encountered such treatment before. But now that there is a kind king, it seems easier to realize my wish.
Although she didn¡¯t know what Barlow was thinking, seeing this big guy saying nothing and looking at her motionlessly, Alice felt very awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Alice expressed her doubts: "Then I What are we going to do? Start a new black tide?"
"If you wish, I will inform others, but I suggest not to do so. After all, there are only two dukes who are loyal to you at present, but it is okay if you insist on proceeding." Hearing that Alice seemed to want to convene a black tide , Barlow shrugged casually.
"I hope?" Although she didn't hold much hope, after listening to Barlow's words, Alice seemed to see a solution.
"That's right, this kind of thing is originally decided according to the king's ideas. If you want to protect mankind, it doesn't matter to me. As for other people, I don't know." Barlow seemed to see what Alice was thinking. It's a matter of fact, he said nonchalantly.
"Huh?" She got the answer she wanted most at once. Alice didn't react. After sorting out her thoughts for a while, Alice asked: "If you don't attack humans, what will you do?"
"This is easy to handle. We are demons anyway, and there are many humans who are willing to hand over their souls in exchange for everything. Besides, if you want to fight, you don't necessarily have to attack humans." Barlow waved his hand casually, and for some reason Alice always felt that this The guy didn't seem to be interested in the war. But since there is no need to do what worries me the most, it seems that I can go back. When she thought of going back, Alice realized that she had forgotten one very important thing, and that was reward. But it seems that there is no such thing now.?After all, the employer has been eaten by Angmar's men, and Angmar, the little boss, has also decisively run away. In desperation, Alice could only go back empty-handed.
==================== Returned dividing line ========================== =
With the help of the free flight Barlow, Alice returned to Kyoto easily. Alice felt that this convenient way of moving was very good. but¡¡
"By the way, Barlow, it doesn't matter if you come here, but can you not look like this" Although Alice does not dislike the devil following her in a human form, even if he is wearing the clothes of a British butler, it doesn't matter, but Barlow His figure is not inferior to that of the governor, and his face looks evil no matter how you look at it. It makes people feel that this is not a housekeeper at all, but a bodyguard sent from an organization.
But Barlow didn't care at all, and his performance was very entertaining. However, no matter how perfect his behavior was, it could not change other people's opinions. At least for now, the two of them were being watched by a group of strange creatures, and from time to time they would pass by from the crowd. There were bursts of screams: "Ah~ the real version of Beauty and the Beast, the mother in heaven, my son is worth all my life."
After finally getting rid of these terrible creatures, when he stepped into the countermeasure room, he was faced with the expressions of everyone who had seen a ghost. Only then did Barlow suddenly realize and said: "Ah, I forgot to mention it, Your Highness. .According to human calculations, that ceremony probably took about a year."
"This kind of thing should have been said earlier!!" The chain of reason was completely broken by Barlow's irresponsible words. The furious Ellie turned Barlow into a "statue" without any courtesy. Regarding this familiar punishment, Barlow could only say depressedly: "As expected of sisters, the punishment methods are the same"
After a lot of noise, Alice finally understood what happened during her sleep. Huang Quan, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared and started his old business of "digging graves" again. But the seal to be lifted this time is the immortal being known as the Tengu in ancient times. The head of the Immortal Son Office has already led many elite exorcists to the sealed land of Tokyo for defense, and of course Licia is among them. After getting all the general information, Alice took Barlow, who was pretending to be dead, and headed for Tokyo.
===================The dividing line heading towards the destination====================
Today¡¯s Tokyo is still as bustling as usual, and a restaurant called Wushouling Snacks built on a busy street has also started a new day. A delicate little loli, wearing a white Tang suit embroidered with black flowers and skull patterns, her long snow-white hair looked very dazzling against the black ribbon. At this time, this little loli who looked a little weak was humming an unknown tune in preparation for the opening of the restaurant.
"Youmeng, have you seen that lazy guy in Xinye?" Just as Youmeng was working, a lazy voice came from the back room. After hearing someone calling him, Youmeng stopped what he was doing and looked around. After looking around, he said, "Brother Xinye is not here. There are only me and Sister Huan, Sister Mingyou in front."
"Hey, it's true." The girl named Mingyou walked out of the back room, her long black hair tied into a ponytail with a red bow, wearing a Tang suit of the same style as Youmeng: "This guy Xinye They are almost becoming ghost members of our restaurant.¡±
Although she was very dissatisfied with this guy who was always absent from work for no reason, Mingyou still devoted himself to the preparations for the opening. With the efforts of three people, the restaurant was finally finished before the lunch rush. The rest was to start. Open for business.
??Flip the resting sign at the door to show the business side to people passing by. Soon some guests came in sporadically. Although the store is not big, the flow of people during the lunch rush is enough to keep the three of Mingyou busy. Especially as a chef, Youmeng's workload is even more cumbersome.
Fortunately, the lunch rush hour is not very long, otherwise it is very likely that the chef will faint from exhaustion. The rest of the time is leisurely afternoon tea time. Since the menu of Wu Shouling Snacks only has two categories of dishes: "Sister Xingxing's Bad Bat 210 Cooking Dishes" and "Special Barbecue Lage", which leads to During this period, the three of them will be very leisurely. There are many ways to pass the time, but the one the three of us usually play is poker. But today was completely different from the past, because all three of them felt that the city's spiritual veins suddenly became chaotic and disorderly, and the breath of the dead gradually began to spread in the air.
"What's going on?" The sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the smell of death became stronger and stronger. Unknowingly, the dead who were hidden in unknown places slowly woke up, shaking in the distance. From the underground to the ground, the fight for food begins.
At this time, in the suburbs of Tokyo, Alice also felt that the city in front of her was gradually being destroyed by death.Surrounded by breath. Alice subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at Barlow, who had been dragged all the way. The other party immediately gave up pretending to be dead and immediately stood up and solemnly told Alice: "This is definitely not what we did."
"I didn't say you did it." Alice rolled her eyes at the nervous Barlow. She just glanced at him habitually and was so frightened. It seemed that Barlow was hiding something: " Or did you really do something?"
"This" Countless beads of sweat streaked across Barlow's cheeks. Finally, under Alice's smiling expression, Barlow finally gave up on hiding things: "That kid from Angmar seems to be in this city, but this time The incident was really not planned by us."
"Well, I know it's not you. After all, you won't spread such disgusting atmosphere." While the two were talking, the originally noisy city had completely fallen into madness. Fleeing citizens could be seen everywhere. In response to such a chaotic situation, the police had little choice but to try their best to guide citizens to safe areas. Deep in the city, there were faint beast-like roars and continuous gunshots. It seemed that the exorcists were working hard to maintain the defense line.
But unfortunately, there were too many evil spirits. Soon the defense line established by the exorcists was broken, and countless evil spirits rushed towards the unsuspecting food behind the exorcists. Seeing the evil spirits getting closer and closer to them, the citizens felt that there was no hope, and began to seek help from the exorcists not far away in despair. It's a pity that although the exorcists want to stop those evil spirits, the countless evil spirits make it impossible for everyone to spare their hands to protect the poor citizens. They can only watch them being bitten by the evil spirits. of swallowing. The atmosphere of despair still spreads in this city.
