late at night

The bewitching crimson moonlight fell through the window on Sean's handsome face lying on the hospital bed, but the face that should have presented a strange beauty picture was full of fear and joy for the rest of his life.

At this time, Sean, who fell into a deep sleep, seemed to hear the voice of a gentle call to him, like Anna and Vivian.

"Sean, Sean..."

It was as if a traveler walking in the dark had seen a lighthouse called Light, and a call called to wake Sean alive.

He opened his blurry eyes, the white ceiling, and the walls painted the same color, reflecting the red moon outside the window, and he could clearly perceive the integrity of his body.

Sean, who knew that he was alive, couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth outlined a brilliant arc, and he subconsciously looked around, but there was a sense of loss in his heart, because he didn't find a figure with burgundy hair.

"You look a little lost? Mr. Morrison, good evening. ”

Suddenly, a strange but somewhat familiar voice rang in Sean's ears, and his hairs stood on end, after all, when he woke up to observe the room, he didn't notice anyone in the room.

Sean, who was about to turn over and get out of bed, was gently patted on the shoulder by a right hand with a simple silver bracelet, and what made Sean even more frightened was that he was like a puppet with dismantled joints, and directly lost control of his hands and feet that should have belonged to him.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Morrison, I have no ill will. The voice rang in Sean's ears again, and then continued: "I have come to see you for one purpose, to add an account of what happened to Mr. Morrison this morning, and of course, to invite Mr. Morrison to join us. ”。

Sean, who was passive again, had no choice, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a man wearing a black trench coat, no top hat, wild brown hair, and a strange smile on his face standing next to his bed.

Inexplicably, Sean felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, and suddenly he remembered the strange man in the public carriage that had gone to Phil's Cafe in the morning.

"Is that you?"

The man nodded at Sean who exclaimed, then let go of his right hand that was pressing his shoulder, retreated into the moonlight, gently took off the hat that didn't exist on his head, and said, "To re-introduce, I'm Elf Crewe, a real magician, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Morrison." ”

"Magician?" Sean asked, still vigilant, his regained hands groping around the bed.

Elf didn't care about Sean's small movements, sat on the chair next to the hospital bed, put his face in front of Sean, and said with a half-paralyzed grin:

"Yes, magician, and the one you saw in the morning is also considered a magician, well... Compare alternative magicians. ”。

Before he could think about the meaning of this sentence, Sean was horrified to find that the half of the face of the man who called himself Elf smiling in the moonlight did not change at all, but the other cold half of his face hidden in the shadows was covered with dense and wriggling flesh buds.

Sean, who had seen the strange scene up close, subconsciously threw a punch at Elf, and now Sean had Terry's rotten face in his mind, and under the domination of fear, he seemed to be back in the scene of fighting Terry.

With a snap, Elf, who seemed to have been prepared, effortlessly caught Sean's fist, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Morrison, don't be so excited when you meet, you are still a patient." ”

Sean looked at the innocent-looking Elf carefully, and couldn't help but withdraw his fist in a little shame, and at the same time said apologetically: "Sorry, Mr. Elf, I'm a little nervous. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Morrison, everybody has some overreaction when they go through a scene like this. Elf didn't have a hint of anger on his face, and with a well-informed expression, he continued: "We have dealt with many similar cases, and I have to say, Mr. Morrison, you are the calmest ordinary person I have ever met, especially since this is the first time you have encountered such an incident, and you have solved him perfectly, which is really amazing..."

"Thank you. ”

Sean, who had finished perfunctory Elf, looked at his fist thoughtfully, and then looked up at the red moon outside the window.

Looking at Elf, who was constantly introducing himself to his handling of special events, Sean interrupted coldly: "I wonder if Mr. Elf can explain to me why the moon hasn't moved at all since I woke up, and when the fracture of my hands is obviously dislocated, especially the fracture of my right hand, is healed, and I can still swing my fist, as well as the glass piece pierced in my back, even if I take it out, I shouldn't be able to lie on the bed now, right?"

"Hey, it's a hassle to talk to smart people, and I know you have a lot of questions right now, but please don't tell anyone what you've been through, or I'll come back to you again. But in the blink of an eye, the smirking Elf returned to normal.

"Just kidding, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, let's have a cup of afternoon tea together at Phil's Cafe. Also, remember to ask your little girlfriend to hand you the gray crystal she picked up at the scene, remember, that's not a good thing. ”

"Why don't you tell me now?"

"Because you're waking up, see you tomorrow, Mr. Morrison. With that, Elf turned into a black mist and disappeared under Sean's incredulous gaze, followed by a whirlwind of the sky, and the entire ward began to twist.

......

Oude Hospital

Sean was asleep on a metal hospital bed carved with angel patterns, with a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket on the left side of the bed, and a figure with long burgundy hair lying asleep on the chair on the same side.

Soon after waking up from that strange dream, Sean immediately stood up with his hands on his stomach, and subconsciously observed the surroundings, the same scene, different timelines, one was the night shrouded in the red moon, and the other was the evening with the golden afterglow.

It seems that he should really meet the secrets hidden in this world, Sean, who was stunned and looked at the sunset, suddenly had a strong desire to explore in his heart, and he seemed to understand that the injuries he suffered before the amnesia were probably caused by the so-called magic.

"It seems that our origin is not simple, brother..."Sean silently made a decision in his mind, he was going to meet Elf tomorrow.

"Elf, Elf... Could this be another dream?"

Thinking of this, Sean quickly checked his body, looked down at his hands that were still wrapped in white gauze, and his right hand was more seriously splinted, judging from the bandaging technique, it should be done by a professional doctor.

The smell of formalin in my nose, the hospital gown on my body, the hospital bed with a special angel pattern, and the flower and fruit basket on the left side made it look like Vivien had taken me to the hospital.

When Sean thought of this name, he involuntarily began to look for it in the hospital room, different from the dream just now, as soon as he turned around, he saw Vivien lying on the side of the bed, with long burgundy hair scattered wantonly on the hospital bed, and the corners of his mouth kept opening and closing as if he was saying something.

Sean, who had never seen Vivian in such a posture, couldn't help but be stunned for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, and for some reason a sentence suddenly popped up in his head, "Sure enough, Vivian, who can't move, is the most beautiful Vivian." ”

Poof...

However, Sean's smile didn't last long, I don't know if it was the amplitude of turning around just now, or the revival of his own sense of touch, a sharp pain passed through the nerves to the brain, especially the pinprick sensation in the right hand, which made Sean can't help but snort.

"Hey, I should have talked to Mr. Elf a little longer, for he was an interesting gentleman on the whole. ”
