"Miss Lovegood said she wants to go to the square to see the statue!"
Looking at Luna's back who ran to the window and looked out, Ron muttered to himself, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Obviously, this incident made Ron feel very embarrassed. After all, Hermione had specifically told him to stay in the house and not run around before leaving. How could she not listen to her words
When he thought about being beaten to pieces by Hermione, he wanted to hit the wall a little bit.
And besides, it’s night time now! If you can't follow Hermione and the others to help, it's better to go to bed early, right
"Luna, how about... don't go?" Ron scratched his head and said cautiously, "If it doesn't work, why not wait until dawn tomorrow?"
"Well?"
After Luna, who was still peeking out from the window, heard this, she couldn't help but look back at him, then blinked and said:
"Aren't you going? It's okay, then I'll go by myself!"
Before she finished speaking, she turned around with a more decisive movement that Ron imagined, and ran towards the door of the room with a "boom boom".
It was not until Luna ran out of the room that he reacted slowly. As soon as he thought about it, he realized that he could never let her run out alone in the dark.
He didn't listen to Hermione's reminder that going out was a trivial matter. The worst he could do was to be scolded and complained by Hermione - it's not like he hadn't been scolded before!
But if Hermione knew that he watched Luna go out alone, but neither stopped nor followed her, that would be a big deal!
Thinking of this, Ron no longer had any worries and quickly stood up and chased after him.
…
To be honest, Luna has actually wanted to go around since she first arrived in this town. If nothing else, just the winding and crisscrossing roads in the town are attractive enough.
Yes, this Spiral Town is indeed a "spiral" array worthy of the name. None of the streets in the town are straight, they are all winding and twisting from left to right.
What’s even more amazing is that even the various buildings on the street are mostly in irregular spiral shapes—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal overlapping. It looks chaotic, but in fact it is chaotic. Orderly.
Of course, if you really want to live here, it may be a big problem to understand the road signs at each street intersection. Sometimes if you accidentally misread it, you might follow the ramp and climb to the roof of someone else's house!
For Luna, such a wonderful town is like an amusement park that people can never get tired of playing. It is extremely interesting.
Unfortunately, Luna was happy, but it was a pain for Ron, who had been trying to catch up all the way. He saw that he was walking along the snake-like street, relying on the random street lights that seemed to have no pattern at all. After a lot of effort, he finally caught up with Luna, who was flying as freely as a bird. .
"Wait... wait... wait for me!"
"Huh?"
Luna, who finally heard the shouts from behind, stood under a street lamp extending horizontally from the wall, turned around and looked at Ron who was running up and down with some curiosity.
"Are you here too?" She said with a smile, "You must have wanted to see this interesting town as soon as possible, so you ran out, right? How about it, now that you've seen it, aren't you satisfied?"
"Oh! Miss Lovegood, I—"
Ron wanted to complain, but as soon as he saw Luna's cheerful look, he knew that anything he said would be absolutely useless. Therefore, he quickly swallowed the frustration and sighed deeply.
"Yes, I'm 'very satisfied'!"
"Oh, that's great!"
Luna said, then suddenly turned around and stared at the indicator pole not far away covered with layers of road signs and arrows, and looked at it for a short while.
He didn't know how she found the place she wanted to go from the extremely complicated road signs, but Ron saw that after looking at it for a moment, she ran with great certainty towards a fork in the road that didn't lead to where.
"Why!"
At the moment, all Ron can do is probably follow closely behind and see when this helpless "Miss Lovegood" loses interest and can go back.
Not long after, he suddenly discovered that he was actually led by Luna to the square in the center of Spiral Town.
Seeing that there were no more messy and dazzling buildings on both sides, Ron couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that if he continued to wander on the bumpy roads like before, he would have to get lost with him.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, Luna let out a soft cry of surprise, causing Ron to look forward. In fact, he had already seen the silver statue standing in the center of the square as soon as he stepped onto the square. Under the illumination of a circle of street lights, it indeed looked extremely eye-catching.
However, like most other people who saw this statue, Ron couldn't help but stare at the hazy face again and again.
Beautiful, this mercury statue is indeed beautiful!
However, the face that is supposed to be the most beautiful cannot be seen clearly. This is a pity in the eyes of those who appreciate it.
However, Luna's focus was obviously different from that of ordinary people - in addition to her and Ron, there were several wizards and witches in the square who were also looking at the statues, but apart from her, no one seemed to be the only one. Staring at the skirt at the feet of the statue.
"Oh..." Luna stretched her neck and leaned close to the statue that was nearly two people tall. While looking at it, she muttered thoughtfully, "This dress is so beautiful... If I can wear it to a party, I will definitely wear it." It will attract everyone's attention. Well, I don't know if Maka will like it... "
While she was talking to herself, she subconsciously reached out to touch the flowing mercury skirt, but she saw that hand naturally penetrated through the middle.
"Um?"
Luna then raised her eyebrows and continued to poke inside as if she was surprised. Soon, her whole arm was inserted into the slowly flowing mercury.
"It's cool and icy, so comfortable—"
"Hey Luna!"
Ron, who had been thinking about the appearance of the mercury statue since just now, didn't see clearly what Luna was doing until now, and he immediately subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"Hurry up and take your hands out! Well... look, everyone else is looking at you!"
"What?"
When Luna heard this, she looked back at Ron with one hand in the mercury. But at that moment, something no one expected happened!
All I heard was Luna's soft cry of "Yeah". The next moment, everyone in the square, including Ron, saw that she was dragged into the mercury by an inexplicable force in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in full view of everyone.
"Luna!"
