Liu Yu thought he would not be able to sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her body touched Belia's soft silk quilt, she fell into a deep sleep.
In the wobble, she began to dream.
This feeling is very strange, as if the soul has been stripped of its body, half floating in the air, half sinking into the ground, half awake, and half confused.
She dreamed that she was that ten-year-old girl again.
She was wearing a starched white school uniform and carrying an old schoolbag, wandering and wandering in the long alley like a ghost. As the sun sets, the aroma of the food penetrates people's noses along with the cooking smoke, and the adults call the crazy children to go home with shrill voices.
She also started to walk back, and when she reached the end of the alley, the door of that house was open, and she could see the vine racks in the garden at a glance.
The grapes were heavily pressed on the pergola, she took a look, then walked in silently.
After crossing the high threshold, she began to pull on the belt of her schoolbag nervously.
There are two test papers in the schoolbag, one with 60 points and the other with 65 points, the scores she estimated in advance.
In the nave, the muffled noise was blown out by the sweltering wind.
"... I don't care! You go and take that child back, we can't afford it anyway."
"Will you be reasonable? It's about a pair of chopsticks."
"Where is the matter of a pair of chopsticks?! I have a bad stomach at such a young age. As expected of being from an orphanage, I have to be the first in everything! A good girl gets 60 points in the test, and she gets 70 points in the test; a good girl gets 80 points in the test." She only scored 100 points in the test. A few days ago, I asked her to help take care of my darling, and she fell off the stool. She wanted to eat well and dress well, anyway, I couldn't take it anymore!"
"Li Jun..."
He was obviously dreaming, but Liu Yu could feel that the wind was blowing on his body and it was cold.
She yelled at the little girl:
"You idiot! Run, what's so rare about this place?! Do you think that if you call your parents, they are really your parents?!"
The little girl didn't hear it.
She took out the paper from her schoolbag, flattened it, held it in her hand, and said in a low voice:
"Dad, Mom, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't pass the exam this time, only sixty."
"Sixty? Listen, listen, what are you doing bringing such an idiot back?! Just passed, not even half of the good girl!"
"Lijun, don't say this in front of the children!"
The little girl stood there blankly, and the woman's sharp voice rang in her ears:
"... everything must be ahead of the curve! If a good girl gets 60 points in the test, she will get 70 points; if a good girl gets 80 points in the test, she will get 100 points..."
"...Listen, listen, what are you doing bringing such an idiot back?! Just passed, not even half as good as a good girl!..."
Her small body seemed to be strangled by a huge irresistible force from fate——
The force was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost suffocating...
Liu Yu struggled.
When you struggle, you wake up.
When she woke up, she realized that something was wrong. Her whole body seemed to be trapped in a deep mud, and her limbs and body were bound by invisible ropes, unable to move—she tried her best to kick her legs and hands, but only heard the bones being squeezed. Over-pressurized "clack clack" sound.
She was like a dead fish placed on a chopping board. The power that suppressed her was mysterious and powerful, and it was completely traceless and impossible to resist.
Liu Yu turned his head desperately, but he could only see a black corner of his clothes beside the bed.
"You, who are you?"
She struggled to make a sound.
The shadow gradually moved over and enveloped her completely.
She could only see a phantom covered by a cloak, and she looked like a man.
"Belia."
"Cough cough cough... Who are you?... Let go, let go of me..."
Liu Yu choked on tears.
The fragile neck was strangled by the man's jaws, and she desperately grabbed his wrist, almost digging into his flesh—
But it feels cold to the touch, and the skin is as cold and hard as a stone that was buried deep in the ground and just unearthed, and it can't be moved no matter what.
Liu Yu's nose smelled a faint smell of blood.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the man's pale skin without a trace of blood under the shadow of the cloak—under the gloomy moonlight, there was a gorgeous hollow.
... The Night Duke
Why would he act now
The air intake became less and less, and the sound of "ho ho ho" began to come out from his throat, and Liu Yu felt as if he had fallen into a deep sea.
Endless darkness flooded in, almost overwhelming her reason.
Her whole body began to tremble and fear.
No, no, there is still a chance.
Liu Yu desperately stirred the only one point of sobriety left, trying to recall the opponent's weakness: arrogance... blood...
"Please, please, let me go."
She sobbed.
The girl's terrified begging and trembling body seemed to please the other party.
"Let's go?" The voice was hoarse, like a devil from the dark night. "Do not."
He refused.
"I am willing, willing to give everything I have, as long as, as long as you let me go."
"Oh? Everything? Including surrendering yourself to darkness and the devil?"
"Devil?" The girl's eyes widened, and a dark shadow was reflected in the blue pupils, "You, you are... by the dark power..."
She was so frightened that her trembling teeth bit her soft lips, but as if she couldn't feel the pain, she was still grinding desperately, and blood dripped down.
Louis shook his head.
But he couldn't get rid of the smell that was close at hand. The smell was too strong, not as clean as Nataxi's, more like a rose blooming in the dark, mixed with desire, fear, and pleading.
It got him high.
Liu Yu can clearly feel the strength of the shackles around his neck begin to loosen, and the limbs bound by invisible ropes can move—
She poked her lips deeply with the tip of her teeth, and the blood trickled down drop by drop.
Louis leaned forward uncontrollably.
Warm breath sprayed on Liu Yu's neck, and he lingered around her neck, as if picking which piece to attack.
Liu Yu stretched his hand under the pillow:
got it.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party lost his mind, Liu Yu suddenly grabbed the glass bead and slapped it on the other party's chest—
Louis froze.
With a scorched smell, his body shrank back suddenly, as if he was in great pain, he reached out to grab Liu Yu, but she didn't advance but retreated, holding the glass beads and continued to push forward, "Hiss—"
Light smoke rose from the place where the man's chest touched the glass bead, and the woman's nails were embedded in his flesh.
The cap of the cloak fell off in the struggle.
His long hair and pupils, which were as dark as a thick night, were also exposed. His pale face, sharp teeth, and handsome and gorgeous features.
"Belia, how dare you..."
Louise's hair was loose.
Liu Yu felt bad, subconsciously withdrew her hand: She didn't want to die with him.
Louis's cloak was stretched out, and he had already floated into the air. He looked at her coldly, and a deep black hole was burned out in his chest:
"No one dares to provoke the great Louis X and still live safely."
After speaking, he disappeared like fog.
Liu Yu took a deep breath.
That's when she felt scared.
Death has never been so close to her like this time, and the surreal power possessed by the Duke of Dark Night is even more frightening—Liu Yu glanced at the glass bead in his right hand, and suddenly laughed.
It was this thing just now, but with a light touch, it defeated the seemingly invincible Duke of the Night.
He looked so wounded that he didn't punish her.
This is the power of God.
Even memory beads that do not possess divine power can have such power.
What if... she can also have supernatural powers
Liu Yu clenched the glazed beads tightly, and the heart in his chest jumped up again.
Her heart rate began to increase, and she asked herself:
Do you still want to take those sixty points
When you have seen the magic of surreal power, are you still willing to be ordinary
"Chirp!"
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!"
There was an eager cry from the birdcage.
Only then did Liu Yu think of the gray spotted finch that had been pretending to be dead.
The bird knew that the Duke of Darkness was sneaking in, but still chose to turn a blind eye. Even when she was in danger, she didn't think of using divine power to rescue her; she was really ashamed of the light camp.
It can be imagined that it is just a glass bead, and it is not a good thing that this bird can abandon Nataxi, who rescued it and raised it, and come to eat the corn in her hand.
The unevenness that had just arisen disappeared immediately.
Liu Yu got out of bed slowly, and pulled on his slippers to light the lamp.
When the wall lamp illuminated the entire room, he bent down and poked the head of the bird in the cage:
"Your name is Jiujiu?"
Gray Spotted Finch: "Chirp Chirp."
"I don't like my bird being named by someone else..." Liu Yu said to himself, "From now on, your name will be Ban Ban."
Bird: "Chirp."
Liu Yu: "Banban."
Bird: "Chirp."
Liu Yu: "Banban."
Bird: "Spotted."
Liu Yu: ...
Sure enough, it's a shameless one.
Scabbers fluttered his wings and made a ferocious expression towards her.
Liu Yu walked around it without noticing it, opened the door and went out. Next to the stairs was the bathroom. She was so nervous just now that her whole body was sticky, so she decided to wash and wipe her face again.
The gold-plated faucet in the bathroom was bubbling water, Liu Yu raised his head, and saw the red mark on the woman's neck in the mirror at a glance, as well as the overly bright eyes—
In those eyes, the jumping flames almost burned herself.
Liu Yu caressed those blue eyes:
"I want a hundred points."
She has to be a godsend.
She wants to learn magic, she wants to live forever—
She will never hold the test paper and stay where she is, waiting for others to make a choice.
