Caihai Academy, back mountain.
This is a hill behind Saikai Academy.
On the hill, there is a small park surrounded by green trees.
In this small park, a gray building in ruins can be seen.
Around the building, the atrium was in disrepair, the flowerbeds were buried in weeds, and the rusty tricycles became part of the ruins, which looked so desolate.
"Is this Adilard Abbey?"
Yukina, who was carrying a guitar case, looked up at the roof of the building in front of her.
There, there is a relief of the herald's staff surrounded by two snakes.
That is a sign that is not seen very often in Western European churches.
"Is this right here?"
La Folia also looked at the building in front of her, her eyes twinkling slightly.
Luo Zhen is naturally here, and has been observing La Folia.
"I heard that this place was originally a very small church, specializing in adopting those orphans who were alone."
Luo Zhen recalled the rumors he had heard and told them.
"Five years ago, a very serious accident occurred here. Almost all the people living there died, and the church was abandoned. It is said that there was only one survivor. I don't know what happened to it afterwards. It caused a lot of damage in Gengami City. Quite a sensation.”
This was something that was always being circulated at that time.
This church is right behind Saikai Academy. The accident that occurred when Luo Zhen entered school only happened a year or two ago. Such a terrible tragedy happened at such a close distance and spread so widely that it was almost possible. It's a matter of course.
In fact, there were many urban legends surrounding this church at that time. Some said that the souls of orphans who died at that time were gathered here. Some said that the accident here was actually a man-made magic crime. It is said that one of the children who was adopted at that time seemed to have an extraordinary origin. He was either a pure-blooded vampire or a powerful over-adaptive person. Because of his young age, he was unable to control his power and allowed his beasts or abilities to go berserk, so he was adopted. The church was destroyed, causing tragedy.
At that time, Luo Zhen was also curious about this matter.
However, because at that time Luo Zhen was still trying to improve himself and didn't pay attention to other things, so Luo Zhen did not come to investigate out of curiosity.
Until today, Luo Zhen came here for the first time.
"Only one survivor..."
La Folia murmured like this, and then stepped forward.
"Are you going in?"
Xuecai asked quickly.
"Yes, I want to go in and have a look."
La Folia smiled at Xuecai, came to the door, and pushed open the damaged wooden door panel with the sound of the hinges creaking.
The next moment, the scene inside the church was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
Just like an ordinary chapel, there are many benches and statues of gods located in the deepest part.
However, due to being in disrepair and being abandoned for a long time, the benches here have rotted and collapsed everywhere. Even the statues of gods are incomplete. The ceiling is also directly broken, allowing the sunlight to shine in, as if there is a The rays of light are like falling from the sky, which is quite beautiful.
Luo Zhen and his party entered the church.
"Sure enough, this place is already deserted."
La Folia looked around and finally came to a conclusion, as if she had never had to admit this fact until now.
Luo Zhen and Xuecai were also looking around and were sure that this place had been completely abandoned and no one could live here anymore.
"Is the person La Folia is looking for here?"
Xuecai asked La Folia hesitantly.
no way.
According to Luo Zhen, all the people living here had been killed in the accident five years ago, and there was only one survivor left. It is still unknown what happened to them.
If the person La Folia is looking for is here, then it is very likely that the person is no longer here.
La Folia would come here, perhaps with a glimmer of hope, hoping that the only remaining survivor was the one she was looking for and was still here.
Now, it is obviously impossible for anyone to live here anymore.
Then, La Folia's trip might be in vain, or she might even receive a blow.
Therefore, Xuecai's tone became somewhat hesitant and cautious.
This made La Folia smile.
"It's so gentle, Xuecai, are you worried about me?" La Folia said with both joy and teasing: "Don't worry, I have known for a long time that no one lives here. I came here just to For final confirmation, and this place is not completely irrelevant to me, I wanted to take a look."
Speaking of this, La Folia suddenly smiled.
"Also, although there is no one here, it doesn't mean that there are no other existences, right?"
This sentence made Xue Cai startled.
Immediately afterwards...
"Meow!"
Such a voice suddenly sounded.
"Wha... what...?"
Hearing the sound, Xuecai immediately looked over, and then opened her eyes wide as if she was shocked.
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
"Meow!"
Along with the soft screams, black shadows began to emerge from every corner of the dilapidated church.
That's a cat.
A very cute kitten.
"~~~~~~!"
Yukina's cheeks turned red.
That's because of excitement and love.
"Cat! There is a cat! It's a cat! Senior!"
Xuecai excitedly tugged on Luo Zhen's sleeves.
"I know, I saw it."
Luo Zhen, who had been observing the surroundings, smiled bitterly and quickly dealt with Xuecai.
At this time, the young cats, like the chicks of a mother bird that had been waiting for a long time, surrounded them in the direction of Luo Zhen and others, making sounds as they surrounded them.
"Wow, so cute, be good, be good..."
Xuecai immediately put aside the important gun and guitar case, squatted down, picked up the kittens one by one, and smiled happily.
That look was completely different from his usual serious and serious look.
"Does Xuecai like cats very much?"
La Folia tilted her head in disbelief.
"That seems to be the case."
Luo Zhen smiled dryly.
After all, the happy-looking girl holding a cat in front of her once secretly doted on a cat doll she had hidden in the middle of the night, and was even photographed by her roommate for doing so.
Therefore, no one would believe it if Xuecai didn't like cats.
"Really?" La Folia nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Speaking of which, have you discovered it, Yao?"
"Ah." Luo Zhen nodded, looking at the cats Xuecai was holding with a happy face, and said: "Although these cats are all wild cats, their hair is quite clean, and they are also very energetic. There’s obviously no shortage of food.”
This shows what
"There's someone here looking after them, right?"
La Folia was seeking advice.
"That's right."
Luo Zhen nodded directly.
Besides...
"Since the beginning, I have always felt that there is something strange here, especially there."
Luo Zhen turned his head and looked in one direction.
There, there is a mural.
