Aldo suddenly felt that he had made a fatal mistake.
When he broke into the venue and saw the long-haired guy in the hat among the hundreds of people smiling carelessly and brightly at a girl who was flirting with him, Aldo seemed to be in a deep sleep It was like being woken up suddenly in a dream.
The theme of the dream that almost made him sink was the ecstasy of finding something lost.
He always feels that the bond between Carlos and him is too deep, whether it is positive or negative feelings, have accumulated for too many years, others cannot understand, and it is difficult to get involved. Aldo has always had the illusion that his emotional entanglement with Carlos is just a matter of the two of them.
And just now, Aldo thought of a question that terrified him—they separated at such a young age. In those years, he was in the temple, and Carlos was wandering around. His own experience is hard to describe, so Carlos's Woolen cloth
Will the long hours... make everything unrecognizable
Those beautiful teenage years that I can't forget... Does he still have any memories
Aldo believes that Carlos is a very real person. When he said "I love you", he must have been filled with the most passionate and loyal feelings in his heart. Unfortunately, this person was at a too early age. He experienced extreme praise and slander, which slowly turned him into a "let go" person. He learned to classify all the things that made him unhappy into the category of "past", and no longer look back. , No longer nostalgic, you can go out to pursue new and better things.
Life gave him this kind of coolness that was almost indifferent, and it made Aldo tremble like his scalp was scratched for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the words that Carlos said to him in a very serious and deep way when he bent down in the bedroom that day—
"I'm not mad at you, and I don't hold a grudge against you, but let's forget about it."
Could that be... true
Look, self-confidence is such a strange thing. When it is there, all difficulties are nothing, and you will feel that all problems will be solved in the end, but it is a sharp tool, but not a pillar, because self-confidence is so important. A sensitive and easily lost thing, once for some reason, the confidence is gone, everything looks like a futile struggle without hope.
It is like a person's spine, fragile and tough, once it is damaged, it will bring a fatal blow to people.
Aldo slammed Carlos down on the path next to the event venue, clutching his collar tightly. At that moment, the beast named possessiveness in his heart seemed to be awakened suddenly, spewing out blood from the male Ben/ The rage of energy and the roar that wanted to tear everything apart, the handsome face was almost ferocious because of its distortion.
Carlos looked at him, his dark green eyes seemed to be condensed into a piece of emerald that was too thick to melt under the street lamp, his chin was forced to lift slightly, and his lowered eyes showed a layer of cold indifference. Then he suddenly laughed silently, Carlos pressed Aldo's hand, and asked nonchalantly, "What are you doing?"
"Carlos Frarete." Aldo said through gritted teeth.
Carlos' eyes swept across his face, and for a moment, he felt an indescribable sadness in his heart, but he didn't care, so he quickly forgot about this feeling. He raised his head slightly with the strength of Aldo's hand—the whole city is full of lights, and there are tall buildings on both sides of the narrow path, making them seem unattainable, no matter the noise on the road, Whether it was the cold wall behind them or not, they all showed the fact that they could no longer go back.
"Your Excellency." Carlos said softly, in a tone that seemed to be chatting, "I think... entanglement is a meaningless thing, and it doesn't quite fit your identity, what do you think?"
Then he gently raised his sword, and pushed Aldo's hand away with the hard and cold hilt: "It's just the last time, it's nothing, I was a bastard and a libertine, didn't you Have you defined me for life? You are really demanding of me now."
Aldo stood a few steps away from him, but he had never felt that Carlos was so far away. The archbishop's proud mind suddenly went blank, and then he heard his own voice say mysteriously: "You said you love me."
"I said it." Carlos looked back at him calmly, "and not now."
He smiled suddenly in the night, his once youthful and frivolous face was stained with unspeakable wind and frost, all the invisible times were engraved in the bone marrow, and even if he forgot, he could not take away the marks left by them.
This is powerlessness.
Aldo stood frozen in a dark corner for a long time, and finally, belatedly, he truly felt the feeling of being abandoned.
However, after Carlos walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi, Aldo still chased after him. The excitement and depression on his face were all gone. He had no time to recover and adjust his mood, so he could only simply Roughly smoothed everything out with a stone-like wooden face.
"Sit in," he opened the car door, tapped the car with his toes, lowered his head, and said calmly, "I'll talk to you about Krystal."
Yes, Aldo thought sadly, even if the relationship between the two of them is really beyond words one day, there will always be a temple, forming a link that seems to break the bones and connect the tendons, making them forever Nor will it go to the irrelevant end.
Even if they don't say a word, they are also the most tacit partners.
When Evan collected a lot of ladies' contact information and came out of the event humming a song, he found that Carlos had long since disappeared, and his young mentor who was gentle and calm at all times Leaning back against his own car, with cigarette butts under his feet, he seemed to suddenly decide to smoke his lungs into a chocolate color.
What's the matter? Is it a blind date where you meet your first love? Is it the new love and the old love who are arguing? Did he bump into someone suddenly, reminding him of the hurtful past
... male fear of getting into the wrong business - if Evan can devote himself to the career of a tabloid reporter, it must be much more promising than his career as a temple hunter.
Gal ignored Evan, his heart was in turmoil, when he felt more and more clearly who the shadow of the person he personally described was.
Bald dad? Oh no - that's really low.
But... that's not right, Gal said irritably to himself, flying the car nearly four wheels off the ground—it's not right.
When they raced all the way back home, they found that the two men who had an accident at the blind date event were squatting in the yard together as if they had nothing to do, drawing something, while Mrs. Xiaoden was watching happily .
"Car... John, expand the perimeter a little more." Aldo ordered without looking up.
Evan and Gal parked the car and stood outside. Gal, the top student, immediately noticed that the two of them drew the magic circle in different ways—Carlos was upright, and Aldo was upside down.
Carlos' tool is a bowl of purified water, but the thing in Aldo's hand does not know what it is made of. It is extremely viscous, almost black, but it emits a sweet smell, which can be smelled from a long distance.
One circle of them is on the outside and the other circle is on the inside, like a seamless circular map, as bright as the magic circle on the outer circle is, as gloomy as the circle on the inside.
"I've lived such an old age, and I've never seen such a technique." Mrs. Xiaoden said suddenly, "It's not just the reversal of the strokes, using the flower pulp of the dawn flower that symbolizes the darkest moment as the medium, and even the movement of power. If the method is completely reversed, it will turn from the brightest place to the darkest place. I have only seen such notes in a very old book... and I never knew that such two magic circles could coexist with each other .”
While she was speaking, Carlos' last touch was connected with Aldo, and the purified water and dawn flower paste were seamlessly mixed together. They were distinct and surprisingly harmonious—like light and shadow that coexisted forever.
"Give me that leaf," said Aldo.
Carlos took out the crystal leaf he stored in the clear water from his arms, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure this will work?"
"If the Krystal family is really standing at the junction of light and darkness as in the legend." Aldo poured out the crystal leaf and placed it in the middle of the circle, "Okay, now everyone Back off, at least...five feet away from the outer ring—and you too, John."
"When the magic circle is activated, if people are not the main body, can't they stand in the magic circle?" Evan asked a technical question blankly.
"Congratulations on learning the principle of the basic magic circle—but if you look carefully, you will understand that he is not standing inside the magic circle." Carlos emphasized the word "basic", and then tapped Aldo's sword with the tip of his sword. Direction, "That's a quarantine-exempt place, and he had already reserved it when he drew the magic circle."
"But this will destroy the integrity of the magic circle." Gall couldn't help but say, "and how can one person use two completely different power operation methods to activate two nested magic circles?"
Carlos looked at his offspring helplessly—even though he knew in his heart that in this era, he was considered good enough.
"Not all magic circles are so small that a person can stand on the periphery of the magic circle to activate them," Carlos explained patiently, "and strictly speaking, this is not two magic circles, but an implicated type that is divided into two sections." .”
Gal suddenly fell silent, and Carlos thought it was because of his tone of impatience, so he couldn't help but glance at him, only to find that Gal was staring at him with a strange and slightly sad expression on his face.
"What's the matter?" he asked inexplicably, "Is there a spinach leaf on my tooth?"
Gal smiled at him, then quickly suppressed his smile: "No... no, it's just that I used to think I'm pretty great, but now I suddenly realize that I'm very..."
Mr. Carlos Elder Flaret couldn't help but reflect on himself—did I hurt this kid's self-esteem? He frowned, thinking—and then cast a ghostly glance at Evan, who opened his mouth as if watching a firework show, and suddenly understood a pedagogical principle without a teacher: People are different. Some children have stronger self-esteem and are more sensitive, while others are less heartless and more resistant to blows.
There was a huge roar in the yard. Aldo's hair was blown up and flew around. Half of him stood in the inner circle and half in the outer circle. It looked as if he had been split in half by a thread. At this moment, the leaves in the center of the magic circle suddenly formed circle after circle of lines, they spread like water waves, and finally covered the entire courtyard.
Evan couldn't help but jumped up: "Wow! Guys, I didn't wear rain boots!"
"It's Krystal's heritage." Carlos squatted down, his fingers skimming in the "water wave", but not wet, "and—this is memory, Evan, it won't let you pour two Here come the tadpoles."
As soon as he finished speaking, a high mountain suddenly rose up in the middle of the water waves, sending out earth-shattering tremors. Plants grew wildly layer by layer, bloomed in a blink of an eye, and withered in a blink of an eye. Going straight to the direction of the sea, it turned into "endless" in a blink of an eye, and the animals were born, rolled and played, grew up suddenly, and then aged and died rapidly, just like an established and inextricable reincarnation.
Throughout the year, from the wilderness to the fields, from the castle to the beach, all the heritages are lost in an instant, and everyone who is lucky enough to witness this great heritage can't help but hold their breath.
"Heaven..." I don't know who let out an exclamation as weak as a mosquito, and then, all of this suddenly fell into darkness, and a transparent key appeared in the water waves, shining brightly in the darkness.
"Here it is, the key!" Gal said.
The next moment, a burst of black mist swept across the "water wave", instantly sweeping away all the landscape animals, and even the key, leaving the originally clear "water wave" empty, as if covered by a layer of haze The gray mist revealed a kind of bleak death.
The memory ends here.
The light of the inner and outer circles dimmed at the same time, and the crystal leaf in the middle of the circle shattered into two pieces with a crisp sound.
Carlos raised his head abruptly and exchanged a glance with Aldo.
"It's a shadow demon," he said.
This is the second demon-level difu that has passed through the barrier in just a few months.
