It's night.
The stars illuminate the sky extremely brightly.
I was tossed and turned by the buzzing sound of Redemption Heart, and I couldn't fall asleep.
Well, actually I know very clearly that what keeps me awake is another thing.
"That Hearn is lying, Messiah. I have seen that ring, on Mr. Surrey's hand." At that time, at the silent dinner table, Dallion told me through the communication gem.
Since then, I have been looking at the window that was not locked by me, but until now, the young man with clear eyes and dark heart has not appeared.
"It seems that Vivian got his ring, but how did she get it? Why was she so eager to cut off the relationship when she might be found out? Why did Hearn still cover her up? Where is Sarri? "Darian's series of questions made me feel depressed.
Oh my God... is Surrey okay?
*
At that moment, I suddenly heard an almost inaudible sound from the wooden door.
I suddenly looked over, but what greeted me was a puff of white smoke.
It rolled over and hit my cheek in an instant.
I smelled a cool fragrance, mixed with a bitter... numbing potion smell.
Oh my God!
I immediately wanted to cover my mouth and nose, but I didn't expect that it was so powerful. I only inhaled a small amount and my arms were completely numb.
Fortunately, my head was still clear. I held my breath and listened with my ears perked to hear the gentle footsteps approaching.
The glimmer of light in front of me told me that there were two dark shadows.
What should I do if they attack me? ! That thought made me nervous.
"Oh! They must be very rich! Look, they have so much baggage!" Unexpectedly, one of them said, and it was a boy's voice. Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have rushed to the other side of the room.
"Sh--"
"Don't be afraid, everyone in this suite is asleep." The boy seemed to be searching for us to salute, making a clanging sound. "And," I heard him continue, "we have Yannis, he wants you. No matter what you do, he will help you take care of it."
"Oh, I hope that's true." Another person whispered in a slightly hoarse voice. He came closer to me, and then I saw a slim figure kneeling down beside me. In the starlight, I noticed that her waist was surprisingly thin.
It must be "her", right?
Although she covered her face, the thin layer of leather armor could not hide the faint scent of perfume emanating from her body.
Vivian? !
How dare she come back to steal? ! It's really different for a thief to be protected by a police officer!
If my fingertips weren't still numb, she would be lying on the ground.
"You only have gold in your eyes, Louis? Didn't you see the Sleeping Beauty here?" She smiled and used her cold fingertips to pick away the hair from my cheek. "Do you want to take her away too? At your age, you should think You want a girl, right?”
The boy snorted there, "If I had enough gold, I could buy more damn Sleeping Beauties!"
"Haha!" Vivian laughed out loud. She looked at me carefully with her slender, glowing eyes, and suddenly, she took away my necklace.
Snapped--
oh! It hurts!
I moved my toes subconsciously, but they were still a little numb.
"Louis," the ghostly woman was heard whispering into the room, "look at this gem, it's so beautiful, like a star..."
The boy sneered, "We'd better get more gold coins, jewelry is too easy to spot... Wow, it's too heavy! Come and help me!"
"You're so useless! Give it to me! Oh! You actually filled it up?!"
The white smoke has long since dispersed.
I exhaled softly and moved my fingers slightly, it was good.
Although they were not as powerful as before, they were still enough for me to take out the dagger under the pillow, and then slam the sheath against the door frame.
boom--
The two figures who had already walked to the door were startled and suddenly turned around.
"She actually woke up!" Vivian exclaimed.
"Yes, Sleeping Beauty!" I said through gritted teeth.
The dagger spun around in my palm, and the next second, I rushed towards them like the wind!
I knocked down Vivian accurately, and she screamed and rolled out with me. If it hadn't been for a tearing pain in my lower abdomen, my second attack would have been completed. In a short second, the boy carrying the heavy baggage, I remember his name was Louis, threw the thing in his hand towards me.
I subconsciously blocked it with my hand.
oh! This greedy thief also stole the heart of salvation. The heavy magic weapon almost broke my arm with a piece of shining gold coins. They scattered all over the floor with a clang. Then, Louis took advantage of the short Xiu Gap pulled Vivian up, opened the ajar window, and jumped into the dark night.
"Oh!" I heard Vivian whisper, "My feet seem to be sprained!"
"Hold on! Let's go!"
"Ouch!"
I quickly rushed to the window. Under the snow-white starlight, I could clearly see that the two shadows had already rolled to the ground along the rope hanging from the window sill, and then ran towards the group of low and dim houses.
How could they be allowed to escape? !
I held the dagger in my hand tightly and closed my eyes slightly. The next second, I was standing in the shadow world where the wind was howling, and the dark wind path reached their heels.
With just one step, I was already lying behind Vivian.
Her eyes almost popped out of her head, "Are you a ghost?!"
"Ha! You still have time to cry!" I raised the knife and dropped it, and my weapon drew a bright crescent in the air.
"No!" She was so frightened that her whole body tensed up, but her fearful cry was only halfway out, and she lay on the muddy ground like a soft leather bag. Of course, I didn't kill her. What hit her throat was the handle of the dagger, but I tried my best at that moment. For a moment, I felt as if I had smashed into her throat.
The next second, I looked up at the boy not far away.
At this moment, I saw his appearance clearly. He had short messy hair, big eyes, and thin cheeks.
Fear had already filled his cheeks. When he saw me staring at him, he screamed and turned around and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.
How could he be allowed to escape? !
The wind of shadow was still blowing, I tightened the weapon in my hand, and just when I was about to stand up, the overwhelming exhaustion made my eyes darken, and I almost fainted!
oh!
I sucked in the cold air for a long time, and it took me a long time to recover from my dizziness, but at this moment, Louis had disappeared.
After a while, I reached out and turned over Vivian's empty hand. At that moment, I was shocked. There was nothing there!
Where is my necklace? !
Where is the communication gem that Dallion gave me? !
And... where is the necklace that Selin gave me? !
I took a breath and touched a large circle on the dirty ground, but there was nothing. The feeling of emptiness made my eyes uncontrollably hot!
Oh my god... where did it fall?
Yes, Louis must have taken it! I remember him picking something up on the ground before running away!
"Who's there?!" Just then, I heard a sharp cry.
I gritted my teeth and looked over. Behind the dark shadows of the stacked houses, I saw several cloaked hunting figures slowly appearing.
"Don't move! Stand there!"
"It's curfew time!"
"She seems to have killed someone!"
They were either standing or kneeling, the long bows in their hands were fully drawn, and their heart-beating blades were all pointed at me.
My heart was about to jump into my mouth, "Don't!" I screamed loudly and tried to get up from Vivian, but my knees were so wet and cold that I couldn't use any strength at all.
That subtle movement made those people's bows tighten even more, as if the wind was about to break out at any moment!
I just felt that the hair on my temples stood up, "I'm a tourist! I live upstairs in the hotel!"
"Relax, guys, it's a girl." One of them waved his hand to the figure beside him, and stepped in front of me lightly in a few steps.
The bright starlight shone on his smooth cheeks, and I recognized him at a glance, and his face made my heart jump into my throat.
"Hearn?!"
"Little Flame?" The handsome Sheriff looked back and forth between me and Vivian on the ground suspiciously, "What did you do?!"
"I didn't kill anyone! She's still alive!"
*
The night wind kept blowing in my ears, biting and cold.
The only source of heat seemed to exist only in the chest of Hearn, who was sitting behind me and gently shaking the reins.
Yes, I'm riding with Hearn now.
I don’t know where the confidence came from. Even though I knew he loved Vivian, the moment he smiled at me, I was still sure that he would not do anything bad to me.
Of course, I would trust him more if he didn't blow hot air into the back of my neck intentionally or unintentionally.
"You're going to freeze, little flame." Unexpectedly, Hearn's always smiling voice sounded in my ears, and I only heard a low sound, and then, his clothes that were still full of body temperature The cloak has wrapped me tightly.
"Thank you." I exhaled and subconsciously moved forward.
He laughed, but didn't come any closer.
"You..." After hesitating, I spoke, "You are a qualified peace officer, right?"
"In general, yes... Oh, actually, I can help you find the necklace by myself. I know where they live."
"I mean...don't you have to deal with Vivian during the day?"
"Well……"
"Just now, she sneaked into my bedroom and snatched my necklace. So, I have to go." I grabbed the saddle tightly, turned my head and stared into his eyes for a moment, and said, "If you hurry up If it’s a little, I’d be very grateful to you!”
"Oh." He smiled slightly.
*
We zigzagged between low, smelly shacks as we headed west. The heavy sound of horse hooves caused many men and women to curse through the wooden windows.
"Fuck you, mother! Are you done yet?!"
"Are you in a hurry to kneel and lick in the middle of the night?!"
"I'll throw you to death! Let the horse's hooves crush your heart!"
Then, all the black shadows suddenly dispersed, and a lake printed with starlight broke into my field of vision without warning.
The surroundings are very bright and the view is very wide.
By the lake, I saw a dark figure running fast. Who could it be if it wasn't Louis? !
"Catch him!" At that moment, I couldn't help shouting.
He must have heard me shouting, right?
In an instant, he was running away! However, he only has two legs, how can he outrun the galloping horse? !
"Louis! Louis!" Hearn urged the horse to stop in front of the boy, "Hey! Hey! Stop, don't get trampled to death!"
The boy was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, "You won't help outsiders, right?! Yannis?!"
"Give me back my necklace! You thief!" I yelled at him, pushing Hearn's arm away and jumping to the cold ground. "If you dare to run, I will cut off your hand!"
The boy's face froze. He looked at the things in his hands in confusion, then looked up at Hearn, "You won't cut off my hand, right?! Yannis?!"
The sheriff on the horse tightened the reins and said noncommittally, "Give the things back to this lady! And, where are you going? Are you ignoring your sister?"
"My sister? You caught Vivian?!"
"right."
That sentence must have made the boy's lips tremble several times before he could say, "You won't hurt her, right?! You once said that you love her! And this woman, you will never hurt yourself because of her My lover, right?!”
In an instant, I stared at Hearn warily.
My gaze made the Sheriff helplessly spread his palms covered with thick leather gloves.
"Hearn?"
"Okay," he couldn't help laughing, "I always fight only for beauties, so..." He didn't finish his sentence, but shook the reins and let the horse walk up to Louis, condescendingly Look at him.
"What are you going to do?!" The boy was so frightened that he staggered back several steps.
Hearn put his hand on the handle of the dagger at his waist, "If you insist, you want to chop off his hand, that's not impossible..." When he said the last few words, his eyes leaked out. Cold light.
oh! I couldn't help but frown, he wasn't really going to take action now, was he?
Louis stared at Hearn for a long time, and his face suddenly twisted ferociously, "You... liar!" He gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his hand, and threw the necklace in his hand towards the ice lake, " Here you go! Here you go!”
"No!" The light of the gemstone under the moon made me scream!
Almost at the same moment, Louis ran in the opposite direction!
