"Hello Luo Lan, after a few days of thinking, I finally realized my inner self. I like you. Please agree to be my girlfriend. I think we are the most suitable couple."
This is what Leon was going to say before the door was opened. In his imagination, he should be elegant and steady, showing his best side.
But after the door was opened, he stared at the person inside with his eyes wide open, instantly forgetting everything else to say, and only uttered a name dryly, "Er... Gerbert?!"
Doesn't he only appear in the ruins of the castle and in nightmares? He is a fake madman, a ghost, how could he be here
No, he is here. Is this really the real world? Is he still immersed in a nightmare and can't escape it? Is the reality he thought was fake
Leon turned pale because he thought too much. After a while of dizziness, he staggered against the wall, staring at Egbert who shouldn't be here. He burst into tears and murmured, "I'm still dreaming, I'm still being cursed... Woo."
Egbert was standing at the door. He had discarded his little boots and leather shoes and was wearing a pair of soft plush slippers, holding a can of Coke in his hand.
He didn't say a word, but just scared people to the point of almost collapsing with his face.
"Oh... it's you. I forgot your name. What's your name?" Egbert had seen enough and took a step forward to Leon. He reached out to take the bouquet of sunflowers that he was still holding tightly in his hand, fiddled with the golden petals, and gave him a smile as bright as the sunflowers.
Leon could hardly hear what Egbert was saying, and then Qin Feichang holding a teacup appeared in front of him.
Loran! Loran is here too!
If Egbert represented nightmares, then Lorraine represented hope. Seeing her, Leon finally calmed down a little and was able to face this magical situation soberly.
"Luo...Luo Lan, you, he, you... why is he here?"
Qin Feichang knew at a glance that this young man was thinking too much and scared himself. She said directly: "Leon, this is the real world. He followed us away from that island and is currently living with me."
Leon looked as if the world had fallen, and that look of fear was like a devil being released from a box.
Qin Feichang: "It's okay, he has lived here for a while and has not harmed anyone, you don't have to be afraid."
Even if these words came from Qin Feichang's mouth, Leon couldn't believe it.
Who can believe that a non-human who had previously killed people cruelly without blinking an eye appeared in the peaceful real world and did nothing? No matter who sees it, it will be unbelievable.
Egbert listened to their conversation and casually plucked a sunflower petal. "Your name is Leon, right? It just so happens that I'm tired of living here."
He looked Leon up and down, smiled and said, “I’ll stay at your house for a few days.”
Leon: “!!!”
He didn't want to agree, but he didn't dare to refuse. Who could refuse such a madman? What if he just refused and he stabbed him to death with a sword? Would he still be able to survive
At this moment, Leon began to regret coming to find Luo Lan. If he hadn't come, how could he have provoked this evil star back? In desperation, he subconsciously looked for help at the other person standing by the door.
He thought that since Egbert had not come to see them before but lived here with Loran, it showed that he was also very special to Loran. Maybe Loran could make him change his mind.
But he was disappointed. When Qin Feichang heard that Egbert wanted to stay at his house for a few days, he didn't react much and just said, "Okay, go ahead."
He pushed it to him without hesitation.
Egbert took nothing with him, but the bouquet of sunflowers and went downstairs with Leon.
Leon followed him downstairs stiffly. Egbert, who had been smiling, suddenly turned his head. His flawless face was half covered by the brilliant sunflowers, revealing only a pair of grim eyes.
"Holding the flowers, I guess you're here to confess your love to her?"
Leon was so frightened that he forgot about it: “…”
Egbert: "It belongs to me, and I don't like others to covet it."
As he finished speaking, the golden sunflowers withered and rotted in the blink of an eye, leaving only a gray-black dried bouquet in his hand, which he casually threw into the trash can on the side of the road.
Leon's face turned pale. He didn't even remember how he got into the car under the gaze of those eyes and drove this terrible ghost home.
The door was closed, and Qin Feichang walked to the cabinet with a teacup. She was going to make some tea, but now she sat alone at the table and opened a bottle of wine.
Taking a sip of her wine, she leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
She finally understood why her elder sister who had given birth to a child would be so excited and happy to invite a group of friends to her home to celebrate and drink after sending her daughter to kindergarten.
She was working when she received the message from that sister and was extremely puzzled by her behavior. Wasn't it just the start of kindergarten? What was there to celebrate
Unexpectedly, after several years, she experienced the feelings of her sister in this strange world.
Great, the annoying little princess is finally gone!
Qin Feichang leaned back in his chair and recalled what had happened during these days when he was working from home.
While playing games, Eggbert would often utter sinister curses because the opponent was swearing. One time, he was so angry that he actually performed a ghost summoning in the living room.
The room was fogged up, and light, translucent ghosts were moving around in the fog, almost filling her living room. Egbert even insisted that they get into her phone to cause trouble. Qin didn't think it would work, but the ghosts were embedded in her computer screen, twisting and dancing wildly on her keyboard and desk, which was bad.
Occasionally, when he didn't want to play games, he would take the various musical instruments collected by the landlady downstairs and tinker with them around the house.
Yes, he sounds nice when he plays seriously, but most of the time he just plays to vent his anger in the game, and the way he saws the cello is like he is sawing off a person's head.
The tone is sometimes high, sometimes low, and suddenly lengthened and raised, and it sounds like someone is pulling your scalp.
If this can be broken with noise-canceling headphones and earplugs, then it will be too bad when he is in the mood to paint. He does not paint on paper or canvas, but on the wall.
He performed performance art at home, with his bloody aesthetic. The entire wall was covered with bloody hand prints and twisted, struggling bloody figures. Qin Feichang walked into the bedroom to rest, and saw these haunted patterns on the wall opposite the bed. He felt his blood flow faster.
In the middle of the night, she was looking at the thing on the wall that seemed to be moving. The ghost beside her was actually very interested in appreciating the painting with her.
Egbert: "You don't like this style?"
Qin Feichang: "I'll buy new wallpaper tomorrow and you can put it up yourself."
later
Later…Have you ever seen the red handprint that appeared on the ceiling at three in the morning? Qin Feichang saw it.
Qin thought she was a very calm person. No matter what desperate situation or difficulty she faced, she would always remain calm. She had done this very successfully before, but now, she had considered several times whether she should press the skeleton into paint, smash it into loose bones and stuff it into the refrigerator.
The little madman's evil deeds were too numerous to list, and Qin Feichang once suspected that he was deliberately torturing him. He couldn't do anything to her in the ruined castle, but now he had obviously found the right way to torment her, always lingering on the edge of her explosion, stepping on the bottom line of her tolerance and jumping back and forth.
He might be good at extreme activities like walking on a tightrope on a cliff.
…
In this situation, Leon came and took Egbert away.
Qin felt that he was finally liberated, but the liberation was only temporary, because of the two-way curse in his hands that bound the two of them. They were locked, and Egbert would come back sooner or later.
She now understood the feelings of one of her brothers who was reluctant to go home after getting married and would rather work in the company 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Qin couldn't help but think, once the company's office space is settled, should he live in the office permanently and not come back
Soon, she made an assumption that if she didn't come back, Egbert would probably go back to the company to play. Thinking of how bad things would happen if he was in the company, Qin Feichang's eyes suddenly became sharp.
no!
She sincerely hoped that Leon would be more interesting and could keep Egbert longer.
Qin Feichang still had some conscience. She considered for a moment whether she should send a message to Egbert to ask him to stop scaring Leon, but she soon gave up.
From what she knew, if she sent this message, Egbert would only torment the young man even more.
Never mind.
Qin, who had returned to work, had no idea how weak and helpless Leon, who temporarily took over Egbert, was.
The chat room they formed when they were cursed was not disbanded, because after the young people found that the curse patterns on their wrists disappeared, they still could not tell what happened during the curse, so they would occasionally communicate in it.
Leon wanted to inform everyone about Egbert in this chat room, but was caught by Egbert on the spot. So he could only watch in a cold sweat as Egbert used his account to chat with others in the chat room.
"Why should I tell them? It wouldn't be fun if I told them directly. It would be fun if they saw me with their own eyes." Egbert returned his phone to him, pressed his arm and said with a smile, "Right?"
Leon could only keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone else this secret.
He thought that he must go find Wizard Rhodes and ask him if there was any way to destroy this terrible undead.
While Egbert wasn't paying attention, he took a photo with shaking hands and wanted to send it to Wizard Ross. After taking the photo, he picked it up and saw only a blurry shadow.
The magnetic field around a ghost is unstable and cannot be captured by a machine. The magnetic field of a nightmare ghost is even more chaotic, so what is captured is a blur.
"I'm done... He will definitely kill us!" Leon covered his face.
Hearing Egbert's shout upstairs, Leon's hands trembled and he quickly turned off his phone. Gritting his teeth and bearing the humiliation, he went upstairs. Egbert was standing in his dressing room, pinching the clothes inside and looking at them. He turned back and said to him, "These clothes are quite interesting. I want clothes like this too. Go and ask someone to make them for me."
Leon, with red eyes: "... Make clothes?" You're already at my house, you're not going to kill anyone?!
Three days later, Qin Feichang returned home and saw the landlady talking to a young man downstairs. The man was wearing loose casual pants and sneakers, a vest T-shirt with a skull printed on it, a baseball cap and sunglasses, and a bunch of bracelets on his hands.
If it weren't for his long, slightly curly black hair, Qin Feichang really wouldn't have recognized that this man with a completely different look was Egbert.
It seems like they haven't seen each other for three days, not three years
