Chapter 520 The dark man
“Haaaaaaaaaa…”
I was almost unable to run, and every time I breathed, my lungs felt like they were burning. In this empty city and empty street, only the girl was running desperately, and behind her was a huge, terrifying steel monster. Its pace was slow and firm, as if it was a predator teasing the prey, and it kept following the girl.
“Haha…!”
Finally, the pain reached its limit. The girl stopped and kept gasping for breath. Her slender legs, like a deer, began to tremble. However, the footsteps behind them continued to approach, with no intention of stopping at all.
“Xiali…Ah Xie…”
Calling for the name of his friend, the girl gritted her teeth, and her heart began to beat violently as if she was about to burst.
Why did you encounter such a thing?
Go home with my friend whom I have been worried about, but on the way, my friend suddenly screamed and a strange black monster appeared behind her. The girl at that time was completely shocked by this scene. Fortunately, the monster did not intend to hurt his friend. For it, his right eye seemed to be more valuable.
So the girl made up her mind to lure the monster away from her friend, but... she didn''t expect that this monster was so terrifying.
Not to mention...
What is this place?
The girl raised her head and looked around. At first glance, it seems like the fog city, but when the girl tried to open the door and hid in the building, she found that the door here could not be opened at all. It was not locked, but just a stone that looked like a door. So the only thing a girl can do is run, run, and continue running.
Pull the monster away and prevent it from hurting its friends.
But, what should I do next?
“————!!”
Just as the girl was thinking hard, suddenly, a beast-like roar came again. She turned around and saw that the terrifying steel monster had arrived not far behind her. It opened its sharp claws, stared at the girl fiercely, and made a greedy howl.
"Golden eyes...give it to me...!"
"Stop kidding!"
Her whole body was trembling, and fear had almost made the girl''s consciousness blur, but she still clenched her fists and shouted loudly in front of the monster.
"I won''t lose to you!"
“Boom!”
However, at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed heavily between the girl and the monster, scaring the girl.
"Why?"
The girl raised her head in surprise and saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker, extremely tall, and a wide-brimmed hat standing in front of her. He was holding a pitch-black cane in his hand, with his back facing him.
who is he?
This scene at this moment made the girl''s brain confused. She wanted to say something, but she couldn''t say anything. At this moment, the steel monster also saw the black figure and opened its hands again - it was funny. When I first saw it, the girl was still frightened by the other party''s huge steel body. However, the tall black figure was even one head taller than the monster, so when I looked from the bystanders, I felt that the monster was not scary at all.
"That depends on whether you have the ability!"
Hearing the monster''s roar, the black figure also snorted coldly. Then the girl saw him holding his cane tightly and paused suddenly. With the heavy sound, the dark flames instantly burst out from the ground.
That''s...what?
Staring at the black flame in front of him, the girl widened her eyes in horror. For some reason, just looking at the flame made her feel trembling and cold. Her body, which was hot just now because she ran hard, seemed to be extremely cold at this moment as if she was thrown into cold water.
Not only that, she also saw a strange figure pieced together from the flames from the arcs of red and black.
That''s...
It was obviously the first time I saw this strange pattern, but a word suddenly appeared in the girl''s mind.
Destined death.
That is the end of death and destruction that even gods are afraid of, and everything will burn out...
Until the girl realized this, the next moment, she fell into deep darkness.
When the girl regained consciousness again, it was already early in the morning two days later. Next to her bed was the landlord of the apartment.
From the landlord’s wife, the girl learned a fact.
Two days ago, someone knocked on the landlord’s wife’s door. When the landlord’s wife came out, all she saw was the unconscious girl and her friends. The girl has always had a high fever. Even if she asked a doctor to see her, the conclusion was that she had only a high fever. Fortunately, the girl has woken up, but her friends are not that lucky.
Unconscious.
This is the only diagnosis that doctors can make. The girl’s friend has no high fever or any symptoms. She just lies in bed, sleeping like a sleeping beauty, and that’s all.
This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the girl. Why did she wake up but her friend did not wake up.
What''s going on with all this?
Isn’t everything I saw that night a dream?
Of course, the girl is unwilling to believe such facts, but reality is reality after all.
On the first day, the girl took care of her by her sleeping friend.
The next day, the doctors who were known as famous doctors came to their friends'' homes one by one.
On the third day, even those well-known doctors could not wake up their friends from their coma.
On the fourth day, the girl thought about what happened that night, chasing her steel monster, the dark city and streets, and the death **** who appeared in front of her. Then, the girl finally discovered something.
That... Death, I have seen it before, and it has been more than once!
That’s right, although I didn’t see the other person’s face, the girl would definitely not forget that height!
If I remember correctly, the first time I was in the Thames River. When I fell into the water, the other party saved me. At that time, before I could thank me, the gentleman disappeared without knowing it.
Then the second time was in the Master''s College. At that time, he was standing in the shadow of the atrium tree, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a black windbreaker, and holding a pitch-black cane in his hand. At that time, the girl had thought of saying hello to him, but because she was busy with class, she didn''t have time.
The third time was that night, on that dark street... Although the other party turned his back to him, the one dressed and also held a cane, the height was the most important thing...!
Thinking of this, the girl immediately made a decision.
In any case, you must find him. Perhaps you can find a way to awaken your friends again!
Then, there is only one way.
I once saw him at Master’s College. Although I don’t know what he is going to do, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will go...!
Thinking of this, the girl also packed up her mood, then sorted out her clothes, left the apartment, and prepared to go to Master''s College - and then the girl stopped.
Because she clearly saw that under the shade of trees not far from the street, the dark and tall figure was standing there, staring at herself silently.
“…………”
The girl''s mood suddenly became a little complicated, just like the kind of person who had just made up her mind to travel through mountains and rivers to find someone, but as soon as she left the door, she was waiting outside...
But she took a deep breath, then walked towards the black figure step by step in facing the other person''s gaze.
So tall.
Although he had met him several times, it was the first time he had observed the other party at such a close distance during the day. Just standing in front of the latter, the girl felt a strange sense of oppression, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but more like a super-large animal like an elephant, and it made people want to keep a distance from him.
However, as a lady, she certainly would not lose her manners.
"Hello, sir, I am Mary Clarissa Christie. For the incident you have rescued me from danger several times, please allow me to thank you solemnly."
“Haha…”
However, to Mary''s surprise, facing her words, the other party just sighed silently.
"I can see me, as expected."
"Why?"
"Come with me, let''s go somewhere."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and walked forward, while Mari hesitated for a moment and followed behind him.
The two of them walked along the river bank like this, and they didn''t say anything for a while. I don''t know how long it took, but the man finally spoke.
"How are your health?"
"Hey? Thank you for your blessing, I''m very good, but Charlie..."
"Charlie?"
"Ah, yes, it''s my friend, Charlotte Bront?. She is still sleeping... She has invited many doctors to see her, but she still hasn''t woken up."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Have you woke up yet?"
"Yes, please forgive me for being rude. If possible, please help..."
"no problem."
To Mary''s surprise, Duanmu Huai nodded quickly.
"Take me to see her."
"OK!"
Unexpectedly, she would get the permission so smoothly. Mary was also very happy. Soon, she took Duanmu Huai to her friend''s house. However, what surprised Mary was that when she came to her friend''s house, the maid who was responsible for taking care of her only greeted her and did not respond to the man around her.
"Don''t care, it''s just a small trick. I don''t want others to pay attention to me."
Although she didn''t know what was going on, Mary didn''t have time to consider these strange issues now. She took Duanmu Huai to the room where Xia Li was sleeping, and Duanmu Huai finally met the sleeping beauty.
"I see……"
Staring at the sleepy girl lying on the bed, Duanmu Huai narrowed her eyes and stared at her for a moment, then he turned his head and looked at Mary.
"Tell me everything that happened to you that day."
Then, Duanmu Huai spoke.
