"He" finally stopped, right at the edge of the fog - until this moment, Alice did not dare to slow down her escape speed, and finally hovered in mid-air.
Then, she turned the broom and looked at her former companion who had turned into an unknown thing. For a moment, some indescribable emotion suddenly surged into her heart.
In the night sky, the stars twinkled silently, casting a little deserted light on the earth. The moon hid behind the clouds and did not show its face for a long time.
In the shadows in the distance, the branches and leaves of the trees were rustled by the night breeze; occasionally there were one or two insects, adding a hint of early summer to this lonely night.
But after all, it's not summer yet. There is still a bit of coolness lingering in the nights of this season, which makes people want to tighten their clothes even more.
"...why...what have we done wrong?"
Alice stared blankly at the swaying figure across the boundary of the mist, muttering in a low voice about her own misfortune or the misfortunes of others.
After a while, when the figure in the mist gradually faded away, she pressed the broom handle and stumbled to the ground.
And at this moment, a gust of wind howled suddenly came from the fog in front, and a black shadow quickly enlarged from the distance, and finally rushed out of the fog.
"Hula-"
Maka landed and stood still in front of the girl. The strong wind that he was carrying due to his high-speed movement immediately spread, stirring up a little dust on the ground.
After taking a breath, Maka looked at the girl and said with regret:
"Sorry, I'm afraid your request cannot be completed for the time being."
"No," Alice lowered her head slightly and shook her head slightly, "It doesn't matter. I was stimulated at the time and was in a bad mood... And, in fact, I have already met one of them just now. ”
"Encountered?"
Maka was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
"Are you... okay?" He looked the girl up and down, and then continued, "Those who will get back up after death must no longer be human, and most of them will have inhuman and terrifying powers. To be honest Yes, I don’t recommend you to get close to them at all - but fortunately, you still came out."
"Yes," Alice said in a low tone, "McLean, you are right - Bert is no longer the same Bert."
After saying this, she suddenly took out a neatly folded piece of parchment from her pocket.
"This is the curse list, which records the names of all the people who have obtained the curse necklace," she said to Maka, "Also, the spy thing I mentioned before..."
To be honest, Maka was a huge help just to help her leave the city limits of London. Not to mention, Maka also returned her most cherished bear doll to her before.
Therefore, she was not disappointed at all because she could not complete her request, and even took the initiative to hand over the previously agreed "reward" directly to Maka.
At the end, she pursed her lips rather sadly and handed the broomstick back to Maka.
"Thank you, Mr. MacLean."
…
Those who do bad things are not necessarily bad people, there may also be people who are forced by bad people - the girl Alice Fei and her two male wizards who sacrificed their lives for her survival are the three who were forced by Haierbo to do evil. of victims.
For such people, Maka felt that she couldn't hate them, let alone that they had swallowed the evil consequences she had sown with her own hands.
However, are there more than three people like them in this world
"Harry, Ron, sharpen it faster! Stone powder is the most critical thing in the experiment I want to do. I need to prepare more before I can use it."
In the open space in the center of the camp, the bonfire that had been extinguished was rekindled. Although the size is far smaller than the one when everyone danced and carnivaled around it at the beginning, it is more than enough if it only provides some lighting and warmth.
At this moment, by the campfire, Hermione was polishing a metal buckler. Others may polish it to make it smoother and brighter, but she polishes it to make it rougher.
Because the next step is to apply stone powder paint to the shield. If the surface of the shield is too smooth, it may be difficult for the paint to effectively cover its surface.
As for Harry and Ron, they were on the other side of the campfire. One was responsible for breaking ten pieces into pieces, and the other was responsible for grinding all the gravel into fine stone powder.
However, these steps need to be completed manually to ensure that they are not contaminated with excess magic power.
But while Hermione was polishing the shield carefully, the corner of her eye would pass by Ron from time to time. Because she had started to feel that Ron seemed a little strange today after he woke up.
Because she found that Ron always felt absent-minded for some reason today, and he would look back at the tent from time to time.
However, he did well in what he was asked to do, which made Hermione want to say something to him, but she also felt at a loss.
"Ron! What are you looking at?"
"Well?"
Ron glanced at her first, then shook his head and said:
"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Ginny - you know, she always thinks about things when something happens to her."
"It's okay," Hermione said, "She is accompanied by Luna, and Luna... at least I think she has become more reliable when she comes in."
"Oh, that's right!" Harry heard Hermione say this and couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "Especially when she talks now, she is much better than before. At least we can understand many words."
Is he complimenting Luna? With Harry's character, that should be the case! At least he's the type who rarely satirizes others.
But at the next moment, the three of them suddenly heard a slight whistling sound from afar,
The movement came from far away and came very quickly. Not long after, they all saw the black spot flying closer and closer from a distance.
"That's... Maka is back?"
"No way?" Harry said hesitantly, "There is no gray fog outside. If Maka comes back, she usually leaves through magic, right?"
What he said was right. If it could save time, Maka would definitely choose a more efficient way to move.
But as the black figure in the night sky became closer, Hermione discovered that it was indeed Maka. But behind Maka, there was another girl she didn't know.
"...Maka?"
Hermione looked at Maka in the sky and shouted subconsciously.
