Chapter 16: Carter's Death
Virgil has changed, but what has changed is not what Carter can't say, it's just something akin to intuition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info And although the smile on Virgil's face increased, it made Carter feel that he or Virgil was far away from everyone.
"What's wrong?" Virgil smiled slightly, looking at Carter not knowing what he was thinking.
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......" was able to talk calmly to Virgil, but now Virgil felt quite dangerous to Carter, as if he was facing a demon.
Virgil shook his head, not caring at all about Carter's change of attitude towards him, "What's going on with Dante?" And at this time, it seems that only the mention of his brother will make Virgil's tone reveal some real feelings.
"Dante's strength is growing quite fast......," Carter said, "You should say that it is your brother, the potential is really quite amazing." Before Carter knew it, he was already using honorifics.
"Yes, then keep an eye on it, and by the way, keep Dante's progress back to me......" Virgil found a reason to take Carter, although Carter also knew that the other party seemed to be taking him away, but there was nothing he could do, after all, Virgil was the leader of the entire organization.
Virgil looked at the busy staff, his eyes flashed imperceptibly, and then asked casually, "Is there any news of demons lately?" ”
"That...... Mask-sama ...... "A staff member came over respectfully, it seems that the demon hunters have been quite active for some reason recently, so there is very little news of the demons.
"Really?" Virgil smiled slightly, although he saw Virgil's smile, but the cold hairs on the back of the staff stood up.
"Virgil ......" At this time, the only one who dared to call Virgil's name was Herco.
Herco walked over with an ugly face, "What's wrong with you lately?" ”
"What's wrong with me?" Virgil smiled back at Herco.
"You've been feeling pretty bad lately, have you been experiencing something?" Herco has always regarded Virgil as a family member in his heart, and now looking at Virgil's abnormal appearance, Herco always feels that he can't let Virgil continue.
"I'm fine...... Virgil shook his head, "Herco, if you really have that time, why don't you think about our next move......"
"But......" Herko wanted to say something, but Virgil's face had turned cold.
"Sorry, I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a break......" Virgil then left Herco there and walked out of the base alone.
Herco slammed his fist on the table next to him, his face was full of remorse, he knew that Virgil would become like this, Herco would never agree to let Virgil make a speech, but now what Herco needs is to find out what is wrong with Virgil immediately.
After Virgil left the base, he walked on the street casually, although he was not originally from this world, but Virgil had never felt so lonely, as if the whole of himself and the whole world were incompatible, nor did he disappear into the world, as if he was separated from the whole world, and the space he was in seemed to be another world.
Virgil came to a café, but looking at the price list, there was no longer that kind of casual meaning, so he could only sigh silently, asked for a cup of coffee at random, and then drank it silently, but this melancholy temperament and demon-like feeling increased Virgil's allure even more, but the appearance of a cold male god really blocked many people.
After drinking coffee, Virgil was about to go back, but at this time, the phone suddenly rang, and then there was bad news, that is, Carter's death.
And this news was transmitted to Virgil by Herco, Herco's voice trembled a little, but Virgil was unexpectedly calm, and Herco knew that this was not the calm before the storm, because Virgil did not have that depressed feeling when he said this again, but it was like the death of an unimportant person, and this discovery completely made Herko's heart cold. Because no one could see that there seemed to be a little bit of meaning between Virgil and Carter before, but now Carter's death did not shake Virgil's heart in the slightest, and it can only be said that Virgil has really changed dramatically.
"Virgil!" Like an angry lion, Herko rushed directly in front of Virgil, "Do you know what happened......
"Why are you so excited?" Virgil said very blandly.
"You...... I ......" Herco looked at Virgil incredulously.
"Okay, now who can tell what's going on?" Virgil said indifferently.
"It's revenge!" Herko gritted his teeth and said, "This must be the devil's ambition for that speech, this time Dante seems to have found something, so Carter took her there, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the government, and then Carter was killed directly......"
"What did you find?" Virgil frowned, "Who told Dante about these things?" ”
Hearing that Virgil didn't seem to have any attention to Carter's death, Herco's heart was also cold, and his whole body was cold, "It's Carter......" He seems to lack the strength to explain a word now.
"Really?" Virgil nodded, and didn't say anything more, "So where is Dante now?" ”
"...... in your hometown" Herco seemed to be transformed into a robot, and Virgil replied when he asked, without saying a word.
Virgil nodded, "Okay, I see, so where is Carter now?" ”
"It was taken away by government forces, and as for where the body is, we don't know ......" Herko's eyes were calm, or should I say dead silence.
Virgil nodded again, then got up and left his seat, "Go find a set of Carter's clothes, and ...... Let's leave the song for her......"
Although they knew that they would not be able to retrieve Carter's body now, because they didn't know where Carter's body was, Herko began to wonder if Virgil was fit to sit in the leader's seat after watching Virgil's almost cold performance.
And the establishment speed of the mound was extremely fast, and soon the people in the organization also completed the condolences, and just after everything was gone, a bunch of yellow roses fell in front of the mound of clothes.
