Chapter 3 Blue Violet (8)

  But he won't just fall asleep like this, will he?! If he continues to sleep like this, what am I supposed to do?! Please! How can a big man like him make a weak woman like me so anxious?!

  Caw caw caw!

  A few crows flew over my head...

  Hoo-hoo-hoo!

  The wind suddenly made a strange noise, and there was a rustling sound of leaves in the air.

  Hoo hoo hoo!

  It was as if warning of some kind of danger, even the wind came to inform these two people that they had arrived.

  The young man's face was as pale as porcelain, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was faintly circling around there...

  "Lotus, are you alright?" Murphys asked softly

  But the young man just leaned there with a closed eyes and slightly struggling appearance...

  A beam of light shone over like this...

  Her eyes felt a slight stinging sensation, and when she opened them again, she saw a cowhide lantern in front of her. The person holding the lantern was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. For some reason, Mufei thought of her own Mosi grandmother at once, and couldn't help but think to herself: Maybe these two are a match made in heaven!

  But when she took a closer look, she discovered that the other person's high cheekbones were somewhat protruding, and his back was also heavily hunched. His two eyes not only had severe edema, but even the eyeballs seemed to be bulging outwards. For some reason, Mavis hesitated for a moment, not daring to look at him or pay attention to him again!

  Pretend not to look at him anymore, pretend not to care about his existence...

  But the wind carried that eerie voice into his ears...

  "Oh no! There are often young girls dying, your friend is injured again, can you bear to let him stay here for a night, and if the wound gets infected and feverish it won't be good!"

  Mavis didn't dare look at the person in front of her, she just listened anxiously with her ears, and her arms unknowingly hugged Lutz's body tightly...

  I'm so scared! Please, Lord Lutz, I'm sorry. It's not right for me to eat your tofu when you're like this, but I feel really scared! And I don't dare... I don't dare leave you alone and go back like this... I just can't do it...

  The wind is still making sounds...

  The rustling of leaves in the air is like the wailing of souls in hell.

  Are these souls the ghosts of those dead girls?

  Thinking of this, Mavis couldn't help but shudder twice, and her eyes, which had been closed in fright, suddenly snapped open.

  Still a silent existence...

  There is still some rustling of leaves...

  The old man who was just carrying a cowhide lantern had already disappeared, and for some reason, Mephistopheles suddenly burst into tears.

  Holding Luo Zi's body and crying...

  "I must be an idiot! I'm definitely an idiot! Why didn't I listen to that old man just now? It would have been better if it had grown a bit more terrifying! Please, don't die!"

  Mavis gently buried her head in Lutz's arms...

  Gazing up at the night sky with a slightly red nose...

  "Why aren't there any stars? Why don't you give yourself a little hope?"

  It must be because I've done something wrong, so God is punishing me!

  I must have been a bad person in my past life! That's why I don't have any angels helping me this lifetime!

  Time is like fine sand in one's hand, slipping away grain by grain...

  When that bright light appears again...

  The old man with high cheekbones and a hump on his back appeared again, carrying a lantern made of cowhide paper.

  The smile is gentle...

  Not a word was said...

  Mavis felt her mouth trembling slightly and couldn't speak...

  "Please... help me!"

  The old man still smiled silently and slowly walked away...

  Two boys in black cloaks appeared out of nowhere, each supporting Loth's shoulders as they slowly walked away, and Mavis' footsteps unconsciously followed...

  Is he helping me?

  Was that gentle smile just now a kind smile, meaning she's willing to help me?

  The dim light that came from the parchment wasn't very bright, it was rather half-bright and half-dim. But in this way, Mephisto felt that the world was warm enough, the world wasn't as terrible as Lutz said... there were still good people existing!

  An ordinary wooden house, an ordinary long wooden table... On the wall is a portrait of a beautiful girl wearing a skirt and a hat with a blue ribbon and a red butterfly knot.

  A young man who hadn't taken off his black cloak yet brought over a bowl of beef soup and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, little girl! Your friend will be taken care of by us, everything will get better. Drink some beef soup to warm up your stomach! This weather is always unpredictable, you have to take good care of yourself!"

  "Yes! Good old man!" Mephisto felt that this life was really a great kindness, met a good person, even when speaking, the eyes were filled with tears of emotion, and then started to eat with relish.

  "Hehe! Eat well and sleep tight! Tomorrow morning your friend will be better, and once she can move around freely, you can go back to your own home!" The old man said with a smile, nodding his head with his eyes narrowed.

  "Thank you!" Another loud expression of gratitude, Mavis looked at the hot and delicious beef soup in front of her, and suddenly felt a warm feeling like she was back home... But then she thought of something and slowed down the speed of scooping the soup. She raised her eyes to look at the old man with a hump on his back who was sitting across from her, also drinking soup, and said: "Lately, there have been many mysterious deaths of geishas at Ryokan, Grandfather, you seem to have lived here for a long time too. Do you know what's going on?"

  The old man's spoon, which was about to scoop up the soup, stopped in mid-air at this moment...

  It was just for that instant, Mephistopheles noticed the old man's facial expression stiffened for three seconds, and then immediately smiled at himself as if nothing had happened.

  "Haha! What's going on here?! You little girl must have heard too many stories! My ancestors have lived here for 400 years, and I've never heard of any mysterious deaths of the geishas at Ryūōkan! If one or two died, it might be because the women of those men who frequent Ryūōkan were jealous and killed them out of spite! But if many died, it's probably just a coincidence!"

  "But..."

  Mavis was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by the old man in front of her...

  Young people always like new and exciting things, so they always create information that brings fear to people! Because the world is in a mess, they will be excited!
