"The ice cream shop is opening tomorrow, can I really do it alone?"
"Ahhh! I'm so nervous~!"
"But, my boss trusts me so much, so I must do a good job!"
In a dark alley, Yabei Mia's soft words echoed to herself, her face was full of nervousness and expectation.
This alley is an alley that she must pass when she goes home. It becomes dark once night falls. The houses on both sides of the alley are so close that even the moonlight can hardly shine into the alley. It is dark and quiet, making it somewhat eerie. .
The small leather shoes made a slight sound when stepping on the ground, which was particularly clear in this alley.
Suddenly, there was a 'boom' from the side yard! ' There was a soft sound, like something falling to the ground, which startled Yabei Mia.
"What is this?" Yabeimia stopped against the wall and listened carefully for a while, but the sound in the yard disappeared again.
"It must have been a mouse or a night owl that stole something and knocked over the jar." Yabei Mia comforted herself, her expression a little more relaxed, but her pace quickened a little, and her fists clenched unconsciously.
The clicking footsteps were getting faster and faster in the alley. Yabei Mia was still the only one in the alley under the shadow of the moonlight, but she felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness.
She thought of some stories about the night that the female workers told in their spare time when she worked in the previous restaurant.
Although the City of Chaos is an orderly city, with the Gray Temple and the City Lord's Mansion managing and controlling most places, there are still some perverts who appear in many places where light does not shine. For women who walk alone, they are It is a very dangerous existence.
Footsteps appeared behind her. The sound was not loud, but the speed was very fast. It seemed that something was speeding up to catch up. She could even hear heavy breathing, like a wild beast.
Yabei Mia felt that her heart was beating faster, and her steps were getting faster and faster. She was already trotting. What she thought was just an ordinary alley on weekdays now seemed extremely long, and she was still quite far away from her residence.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from behind, the footsteps disappeared, and all sounds disappeared.
The alley returned to silence, leaving only the sound of Yabei Mia's rapid footsteps and a somewhat undulating breath.
Yabei Mia's steps did not slow down because of this. She picked up a thick wooden stick placed on the alley and held it in her hand. She suddenly felt a sense of security and felt that the stick in her hand could be broken. All perverted heads.
A beam of moonlight fell on the alley not far away, like a torch that suddenly lit up in the endless darkness. Yabei Mia's eyes suddenly lit up. As soon as she left this alley, the outside became spacious and bright. .
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, blocking the moonlight.
"ah!"
Yabei Mia screamed, closed her eyes, raised the wooden stick in her hands with both hands, and smashed it towards the figure that suddenly appeared.
"Click~"
The wooden stick as thick as the child's arm broke with the sound.
Yabeimia closed her eyes and still held half of the wooden stick in her hand, keeping it raised high.
"are you OK?"
A cold voice sounded, with a bit of confusion and concern.
"Huh?" Yabei Mia was stunned and suddenly opened her eyes.
The person standing in front of her was not the naked pervert as expected, nor was she some tall and thick man, but Elizabeth dressed in white.
The silver-white dress shone in the moonlight. Although it was backlit, the cold and beautiful face was still visible, but now she was holding her left hand in front of her, and there was half a wooden stick on the ground.
"ah!"
Yabei Mia suddenly threw half of the wooden stick in her hand to the ground, looked at Elizabeth and apologized at a loss: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't know it was you... I thought, I thought..."
Elizabeth looked at Yabei Mia, put down her hand, and took a step forward.
The cold breath hit her face, and Yabei Mia subconsciously took two steps back and pressed directly against the wall behind her. She looked at Elizabeth who was apologetic, but also a little scared, and did not dare to say anything.
Elizabeth frowned and took another step forward. There was only less than half a meter between them.
"I...I..." Yabei Mia held small fists in her hands and raised them in front of her chest. She looked at Elizabeth who was approaching her. Her eyes were a little dodged, and the cold breath hit her face. There was a cold look on her beautiful face. His temperament made her a little scared, but there was also a wonderful aura that attracted her to get closer.
Just like the atmosphere she had felt when the mooncakes were handed over to her on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was mysterious and magical.
"look at me."
Elizabeth stopped and said coldly.
Yabei Mia raised her eyelids and looked at Elizabeth a little apologetically. She did not expect that it would be her who suddenly appeared in the darkness. She said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. If I hurt you, then you Just call me back.”
"Okay." Elizabeth nodded, then reached out and touched Yabei Mia's fingers.
Yabei Mia retracted her finger as if she had been electrocuted. The tip of her middle finger was a little cold, and there seemed to be a faint tingling sensation, as if she had been pricked by a small sharp thorn. It was just like this It was very mild, with almost no sensation and no blood coming out.
"I took a drop of your blood." Elizabeth withdrew her hand, and in her palm was a small bottle made of ice cubes, with a drop of pale golden blood inside.
"Why do you want my blood?" Yabei Mia looked at Elizabeth with some confusion. The last time she stopped her and Sally, she said she wanted a drop of her blood, but Sally refused in the end. Unexpectedly, this appearance would be for a drop of her blood.
"I have my own uses." Elizabeth put away the small bottle without explaining.
"Okay." Yabei Mia was a little disappointed, but looking at Elizabeth, she asked curiously: "You are a frost dragon, you must be able to fly, right? It must feel amazing to fly into the sky, right?"
Elizabeth looked at the expectant expression on Yabeimia's face, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Do you want to try it?"
"ah?"
Yabei Mia was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Elizabeth had already bullied her and stopped her waist. A silver formation appeared on the ground and disappeared at the entrance of the alley in the blink of an eye.
Yabei Mia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she appeared in mid-air outside the City of Chaos, with her feet dangling in the air and suddenly falling downwards.
"ah……"
Just as Yabeimia screamed, a giant frost dragon appeared under her and fell on the dragon's back. She quickly reached out to grab a protruding scale and flew high into the air.
The wind roared in the ears, the dragon broke through the clouds, a new starry sky appeared, and the moon and stars became brighter and clearer.
A whole new world appeared in front of Yabei Mia.
…
And in that dark alley, a shirtless man had an ice pick nailed to the wall between his eyebrows, and he didn't even close his eyes...
