After Barrow struggled a few times, his body began to stiffen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info I pulled my sword out, and his body crashed to the ground. Blood spread across the ground, blood-red. The brilliance of the magic array on the ground also began to become unstable. The light exploded in all directions like thunder, and the dark shadow in the circle began to make painful sounds.

It seems that the ritual of making a contract between Barrow and the demon was not completed, but was instead eaten because of the interruption of Barrow's death. As soon as I thought that the black shadow was a demon, I couldn't help but feel nervous, thinking that he hadn't completely escaped yet, so I jumped into the magic array and grabbed him violently.

Because of the interruption of the ritual, the demon was temporarily unconscious, and I was not in the mood to see his face carefully, only knowing that it was not very large, only half a human tall, so I asked Xiao Mi to find a cage for daily pets and threw him in.

Because of the sudden trouble, everyone's nerves were tense, and it took a long time to recover.

Xiao Mi, a girl who had never seen such a bloody scene, was frightened, and returned to the front hall to rest with a pale face; Gray commanded the waiters to clean up the mess, and he was still very reliable at the critical moment.

I haven't recovered from stabbing Barrow to death. I watched his body being dragged out like that, and the blood on the ground was gradually cleaned up by the attendants, and my mind began to flash back to the days we used to be together, when our two older children were good partners, always acting together, and I thought of Peel...... Now they're all gone.

I felt that my eyes were a little dry and astringent, and I rubbed my hair vigorously, and I found that my hands had stopped shaking at some point.

Barrow, the second person to die at my hands today.

To be honest, I didn't hesitate or be nervous when my sword stabbed him, unlike the thrill of the assassination of Aubrey. I think if I keep going like this, maybe I'll gradually become an insensitive person, right?

I smiled wryly and turned away, only to see Rand standing in the doorway watching me, and by this time the attendants had withdrawn to clean up the yard, and there were only two of us in the room.

Rand stood in the doorway, just looking at me like that.

I looked back at him and saw that his eyes were a little red. Rand approached me slowly, I didn't speak, I just looked at him like that, but my heart beat faster.

Finally, he stopped in front of me. He glanced at the black magic array on the ground that had not yet had time to deal with it, and his voice trembled a little: "Why did you kill him?" ”

"The ritual has begun, do you want me to watch his soul being taken away by the devil?" I sighed and said, "After all, he was my childhood friend, and even if he did something wrong, I don't want him to be wrong again and again, let alone involve you." ”

"Friends...... Wrong again and ......" Rand muttered what I had said, his expression a little desolate, and he suddenly spoke, slowly spitting out a few words: "Rosa, do you know? Today my second brother Aubrey died. ”

I felt a "pimple" in my heart, and I didn't dare to look up into his eyes: "Really? It's really unfortunate......"

"Unfortunately...... Tell me, where have you been today? Rand looked up at me with a slight waver in his eyes.

I embarrassed to squeeze out a smile: "What's the matter, Rand?" Haven't I been with you all the time today? ”

"Tell me, then, what did she say to me when I met Ellis?" Rand said lightly, his body getting closer and closer to me.

He knew!

I suddenly understood the purpose of his sudden appearance at the door of my room after returning today, so that I would not have time to communicate with Gray about the details of today's stay in the palace.

I knew I couldn't hide it, so I had to smile wryly and shake my head: "I can't answer your question." ”

"Someone saw you passing through the back street of Aubrey's mansion today, with blood on your body......" Rand lowered his voice, his expression became painful: "You...... Why, exactly? ”

Randt's voice trembled with anger, and I could feel his anger, but I couldn't tell him why, and I felt guilty. I looked up at him and whispered, "I just hope to protect you......"

"Protect me...... Is it? Rand turned his head away from me, and his voice began to soften, "Rosa, you say...... If it hadn't been for the agreement you made with my mother, would you still be by my side like you are now? ”

Rand's voice was not loud, but it exploded in my heart like thunder.

He really knows it all!

I was a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to answer him.

"I always thought we were friends, but now it seems that this is not the case...... "Rand smiled wryly and muttered, "I know that you have been under a lot of pressure by my side over the years, in fact, you can tell it." It's just a pity that you never tell me what you think, but Gray, who can do more with you...... What you're doing together to hide from me. ”

"So I'm thinking, maybe you really don't think of me as a friend, do you? I've been self-inflicted for so many years...... But I'm still grateful to you, for whatever reason, for working so hard to protect me. ”

I felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to tell him that this is not the case! Not at all!

But I couldn't say it, because everything he said was a fact, an irrefutable fact.

"I didn't even know today that the vow between you and my mother, its contents...... How appalling! It turns out that everything in the past seven years has been just a transaction. You must think I'm stupid, right? …… Actually, you can discuss it with me, and if you tell me well, I won't pester you from leaving. Rand smiled at me and said, tears welling up in his eyes, "Rosa do you know? I don't think I know you anymore, and you could have killed your childhood friend, my brother, so easily in order to achieve your goal...... Are you really so desperate to get away from me? If so...... I'll let you go. Listening to Rand's words, my heart was extremely complicated at the moment, I wanted to explain, but I found that in the face of this naked fact, all explanations were pale and powerless, and I didn't want to lie to him.

Rand turned around and left.

It was noisy outside, but I couldn't hear anything. My mind went blank.

He was right, and I was sorry for him.

I killed Aubrey.

I killed Barrow. Perhaps, as he said, I am getting more and more cruel. Maybe that's what I am.

That's it, there's nothing more to say, it's time to leave.

It started to rain outside at some point, and it gradually got heavier and heavier.

I walked the streets alone and dejected, and most of the shops were closed.

I could feel the rain lapping on my face and getting heavier and heavier.

I'm finally free now, and that's the freedom I've always dreamed of! But why am I not happy at all? On the contrary, it is like the soul has been hollowed out, and it is powerless to fall down.

As the rain washed away, the air gradually cooled, and with the baptism of rain, I felt that my body was a little cold and convulsed, and my legs and feet were a little unconscious.

I fell on the curb of the street, feeling like a fool, ridiculously ignorant.

Now, I really have nothing.

I looked down and smiled, the rain on my head seemed to be much lighter, but the sound of falling rain in my ears did not diminish in the slightest. I saw a pair of red boots appear in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw Hong Luo holding a small red umbrella and looking down at me.

This scene is familiar, isn't it the scene where we first met? It's a pity that now our positions have been reversed.

"Why are you here?" I saw a crying look on her face, and said with a smile: "It's raining hard outside, don't get wet, you go back quickly......"

"I want you to come with me!" Hong Luo said stubbornly, reaching out to pull me.

I shook off her hand: "You don't care about me, don't pester me anymore, let me be alone for a while!" ”

Hong Luo's eyes were red: "I can't leave you alone!" I like you! I like you no matter what happens, how can I ignore you? ”

I felt my throat sour, I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and I yelled, "Where the hell am I doing?" Is it worth it? Are you sure your feelings for me are just liking? "Hong Luo was yelled at by me and immediately burst into tears.

It was then that I realized that I had just gone too far, and I felt a little guilty. I whispered, "Red Luo...... You're too young to know how to properly like someone. When you grow up, you will really know who you love and what kind of people are worthy of love. And someone like me is not worth your ...... so hard";
