"Well, I'm so sorry, I can't let you go."
An Ning waved her hands excitedly: "Why?!" She just came to find her boyfriend, why not let her go.
"It's dangerous there, Chris is an exorcist, you're not."
Was it for this reason that she was not allowed to go? An Ning patted her chest proudly, and said, "Who says I'm not, I'm also a ghost exorcist!"
Sean looked at An Ning with obvious doubts in his eyes. An Ning looked around, but in the end he still couldn't see the familiar figure.
The little maid who had just sent Chris to the tower came back. As soon as she saw An Ning, a hostility called a woman appeared instantly. She frowned and her voice became a little mean.
"Who are you? This is the Phillips family, so you are allowed to mess around here, what about the security guards!"
As she said that, she was about to call the security outside the door, but was stopped by Sean: "No, she is Chris's girlfriend. Henry called me and told me."
Sean looked at An Ning in embarrassment, and comforted her: "Please ask Miss An Ning to wait in the living room. I think Chris will be back soon. If you are really tired, Charlotte, you must take Miss An Ning to the guest room. Take care of her."
The little maid's name was Charlotte, but what An Ning didn't know was that her last name was also Phillips.
She is Sean's youngest daughter, and she has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, but she has a very special hobby, which is to play the role of a maid.
Sean saw that this was also an opportunity to train her, so he didn't stop her from messing around, but now it seems that she will soon be unable to wear the mask of a maid.
To say that she has a great affection for Chris, it can be said that for these unrestrained and enthusiastic girls, when they meet a handsome boy, they are immediately dazzled by love and admiration, and they are hostile to other women. It was also pulled to the highest level in an instant.
Now when Charlotte heard her father say that An Ning was Chris's girlfriend, her whole body became vigilant, and the little girl's waywardness was fully revealed.
"Dad, I don't take it."
She said to her father: "Although I acted as a maid, I am not a real servant! I will not receive this guest."
An Ning was baffled by Charlotte's hostility towards her. Not only did she not offend her, but she also did not do anything to hurt her. When they met for the first time, why did they dislike her
"Charlotte!"
Xiao En shouted angrily, who would have thought that this girl completely ignored her father, let go of her slender long legs in white silk, ran up the stairs with her skirt in her hands, and faced An Ning and Xiao at the corner. Eun made a face.
"You little bastard!"
Sean expressed shame at his daughter's disappointment, and he said to An Ning apologetically, "Charlotte's behavior is really too much."
An Ning was not distracted. She looked around and asked persistently, "Take me to see Chris."
"But… "
Sean hesitated again, and he looked at An Ning carefully, and finally he was ruthless, and refused: "Chris is the exorcist of David's family, I know it very well, otherwise I wouldn't ask him for help."
"But you're different. I'm not sure if you're an exorcist. I'm already worried about Chris going on an adventure. Please, Miss Anning, don't mess with me anymore, okay?"
An Ning wanted to say something, but the words were blocked on her lips. She gritted her teeth, and finally nodded in agreement.
To talk about why she suddenly changed her mind when she was stubborn.
One of the reasons is that I don't want to embarrass Xiao En. After all, he is an elder in front of me. In country M, respecting elders may not be as important as in her own country, but she is not the kind of person who will tear herself apart with elders.
What's more, this elder is not someone I know well, so it shouldn't be too much out of politeness.
The second... is also the main reason.
She was afraid of herself, and dragged Chris back. Chris' exorcism ability can be said to be stronger than An Xuan's. When An Xuan came to M country to practice, he was taught by Chris many times to have the current strength. .
Now, to put it bluntly, she can only be the most junior ghost exorcist. At most, she just learns some content from books. If she wants to talk about actual combat experience, it is still pitiful.
No matter how worried about his safety, she finally chose to believe in Chris' strength, walked to the sofa in the living room, and sat down.
It's just that at this moment, what's under her buttocks doesn't seem to be a soft cushion, but a scorching iron plate. No matter how comfortable she is sitting, she can't calm down her heart.
Sean asked another maid to make a pot of green tea for her. He probably knew that she was Asian and not used to the taste of black tea.
The time passed by, and it was almost ten o'clock, but Chris still hadn't come back. An Ning, who couldn't sit still, felt the uneasiness in her heart almost rushing out of her chest. She stood up abruptly from the sofa chair and shouted Said: "I can't wait any longer!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to walk out of the living room, but when she had only taken a few steps, she seemed to realize something, turned her head, and asked awkwardly: "Mr. Sean, where is... where is Chris?" ?”
Sean saw that it was getting late, and Chris hadn't come back yet, so he felt uneasy, so he could only allow An Ning to go.
"Come with me."
He led An Ning towards the direction leading to the tower. That day, the corridor was extremely dark at the moment. Sean seemed to be afraid of something, and he didn't lead her through the entire corridor, pointing to the direction of the end.
"At the end, there is a wooden door. After opening, there is a stone road leading to the tower. Miss An Ning, forgive me, I can only send you here."
An Ning didn't care if he sent herself down the tower, and walked straight towards the end.
There was the sound of the door closing behind her, and her heart jumped violently as the door closed.
The carpet in the corridor is gray with navy blue lace, an unknown kind of flower blooms on the carpet, and a few naked|skinny little angels shuttle among the flowers.
The wall lamp on the wall emits a dim orange light. Some ancient oil paintings are just hung on the wall. Some doors in the corridor are open and some are closed. There is no light in the room with the open door. I could smell the faint scent of perfume coming from inside, but I didn't know what the interior looked like.
The surroundings were quiet, An Ning's hands were tightly clutching the clothes on his chest, and he walked towards the end of the corridor step by step.
She really wanted, really wanted to run over, but why couldn't she do it
She swallowed, wrinkled her face, and the hairs on her back stood up. This corridor, as if it had no end, looked so long, so long...
Sudden! Her eyes suddenly went black, and a large number of pictures were constantly pouring into her mind!
Chris stood in a clean and delicately furnished room, with finely cracked wooden floors neatly laid out, violet sheets on the bed, and light purple veils hanging down above the bed.
On a door without a window, there are several pots of unnamed flowers, which are in full bloom. Under the dark night and the orange light, there is a different kind of beauty.
For some reason, seeing these flowers, An Ning couldn't help but shed tears.
Chris was standing in front of a piano, his eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his soul, staring blankly at the black and white keys on the piano.
Next second!
Duo-lai-mi-fa-
Obviously there was no one on the seat in front of the piano, but An Ning saw that the keys were pressed just like that.
Then, as if Chris was under control, the cracked disc fell out of his hand and fell to the ground, making a bang!
He was walking towards the windowless window and looked as if he was going to jump from it!
In just a few seconds, all these pictures entered An Ning's mind, and suddenly, she woke up, her body was already soaked in sweat!
She seemed to realize something, and quickly ran to the window in the corridor, looking towards the top of the tower!
Familiar orange light came out from the window, and the sound of piano playing could be vaguely heard!
Chris... no, Chris!
An Ning almost exhausted all her strength, rushed to the end of the corridor, smashed open the wooden door, and ran towards the tower with all her might!
Tears had already filled her eyes, streaming down from the corners of them, her heart was screaming over there!
"No! No! Chris! Wait for me! I'll be right there!"
No matter how she saw those pictures just now, no matter whether it is true or false, she will not allow a 1% possibility to make this happen!
Absolutely not!
An Ning pushed open the wooden door at the bottom of the tower, and a rotating stone staircase appeared in front of her eyes. When she raised her head, she couldn't see the top at all, but she had no time to shrink back!
She can only move forward!
This staircase may be the only such long and difficult staircase she has climbed in her life!
She is not a good athlete, so she is definitely not someone with excellent physical strength. During the process of running up the stairs, she could feel the weakness of her legs and feet, and her breathing became heavier.
The picture in front of her eyes turned black from time to time, obviously due to lack of oxygen. In addition, there was a window in the room at the top of the entire tower. During the whole process of going up the stairs, there was no window that allowed her to breathe fresh air.
Smooth music came from the room. This piece was very familiar, but she couldn't name it.
The person who plays it must be a superb performer.
She was panting heavily, and even though her legs were completely sore and numb, she couldn't stop. Fatigue, coupled with the sad melody in her ears for a long time, she felt peaceful, her body and mind were suffering a double blow.
finally! Her feet reached the last step, and she pushed open the half-open door before she could catch her breath.
One of Chris' feet had already stepped on the window sill, and seeing that his body was about to lean forward, An Ning yelled in horror: "No!"
She didn't even know that she, who was already exhausted, had the strength to run so fast. It was a matter of an instant. She rushed behind Chris, hugged his body, and fell backwards!
"boom!"
Chris's strong body was directly pressed against An Ning's body, she grunted in pain and gasped.
The piano melody in my ears also stopped abruptly in an instant.
Caught off guard, a sharp cry came, which almost pierced An Ning's eardrums!
