"Ta...tata...ta...ta..."
Footsteps echoed in this long corridor. They sometimes overlapped and sometimes intertwined, showing that they had their own owners.
At the same time, Safina, one of them, finally understood why the previous echo was so loud.
Willie, who was walking in front, was walking forward holding a glowing wand. Because of her petite stature, her steps were not large, and Safina could easily keep up. Therefore, she even had time to observe the general situation of this corridor through the light released by the other party.
It was obviously foggy here, but she could still vaguely see that this must be an old building with a long history.
The earth-colored bricks have many signs of wear and tear, the floor tiles are slightly uneven, some doors on one side of the corridor are closed, and many signs of aging can be seen on those old wooden doors.
Obviously, time has carved the mark of civilization on this building, making it no longer as glorious as when it was first built. However, as long as you look carefully, you can still find some exquisite carvings in the corners, pilasters, lintels, etc., which make people understand that it once had infinite scenery.
As for whether there are any beautiful carvings or faded murals on the top of this corridor, it is unclear, because the light used by Willy to illuminate is obviously not enough to clear the darkness above the two of them. .
Safina walked and watched, thinking about the piles of doubts in her heart. Although she had many questions to ask Willy, she knew from the other party's attitude just now that she probably wouldn't be able to ask anything. It would be better to save her energy and see where the other party wanted to take her.
A few minutes later, they finally reached the end of this long corridor.
As soon as she walked out of the small arch at the end of the corridor, Safina felt that her eyes suddenly became much brighter. Although the gray fog was still there, the darkness of the night had been swept away by the glow of a scorching flame overhead.
So Safina immediately discovered that outside the corridor, there should be a large church hall, because she saw neat rows of prayer benches not far ahead.
"Is there... anyone there?"
Suddenly, she saw several figures from behind on the last few rows of the prayer mat, each sitting casually, but with no intention of communicating with each other.
Since Willie in front had no intention of stopping, Safina had to look at those people a few more times, and then followed them through the middle until they reached the front of the church hall.
And when she got here, she finally saw a familiar figure in the first row of seats, sitting on one side of the middle aisle.
"Maka, she's awake."
Maca? Is it Maka McClain? No wonder Safina felt like she had seen this figure from behind somewhere.
only…
"Are you Mr. MacLean?"
Safina asked subconsciously, but the figure behind her seemed to be holding her head and lost in thought, and did not react to her or Willy's voices.
Willie didn't get a response, and didn't seem to care. She just stood beside him silently and waited.
Safina waited for a short while at first, but she was not a very patient person like her sister Ursula. As time went by, she couldn't stand still.
After looking around and finding that no one paid any attention to her, and even Blois, who had brought her here, never looked back at her, Safina hesitated and quietly backed away.
But that's about it.
"Miss Geofine... Although the way Willy invited you over may be a little rude, but since you're already here, why don't you sit down and chat for a while?"
"despair."
Probably because of a guilty conscience, Safina was startled and stopped quickly. But since she was several steps away from Maka and Willy, it would be extremely difficult for her to walk back by herself.
She was in a dilemma for a moment, and then she simply sat down on the prayer mat next to her.
"Mr. McLean... You are Mr. McLean, right?"
Safina spoke a little softly, but in this empty and quiet hall, no matter how soft the sound was, it would naturally be amplified infinitely.
"Of course," Maka said casually, still sitting in front, with her back to her, "I am Maka McClain—didn't we just meet not long ago?"
"Yes! I just met you," Safina couldn't help but mumbled after hearing this, "But you... make me feel like you've completely changed."
"Yes?" Maka said calmly.
Safina was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a few seconds before she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Well, maybe it's the difference in the environment that makes me feel a little biased!" she said, "but the way you 'invited' me obviously also played a big factor in it - you brought me here , what do you want to do? Do we know each other well? "
However, Maka immediately said:
"I've already apologized for inviting you here. If you don't want to accept it, there's nothing I can do about it. It's just that it has nothing to do with whether we are familiar with each other... I want to ask you for a favor, and you happen to be You came to England, so I asked Willie to bring you here... It's that simple."
"Hey!"
Safina was obviously getting more and more angry the more she listened, so angry that she forgot her original guilty conscience and fear - and speaking of it, her temper was not that good to begin with, and the reason why she could endure it until now was actually because she had no confidence in her heart. .
"McLean, you... tell me, is this the attitude of asking for help?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but angrily slapped the table and stood up, causing the quiet church to immediately reverberate with a slightly harsh "bang" sound.
Maybe even she didn't expect it to be so loud. After she slapped the table, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, and then sat back down again.
"Anyway, anyway... I won't help!"
"Don't worry," Maka put down her left hand that was supporting her cheek, raised her head and tilted her neck and said, "You should listen to my 'reward' first, and then decide whether to help! If you don't listen, So I refused, I think you will regret it soon."
Listening to Maka's persuasion, Safina opened her mouth, but finally hummed and quieted down.
Because she knew that she actually had no capital to refuse at all. This was decided from the moment she was taken away from Weymouth Port by Blois.
What's more, she is now also curious about what Mr. McLean "tied" her here for.
But soon, she found that she could no longer remain calm.
"Do you want your sister's body to return to normal?" Maka asked calmly.
