Chapter 50: A Town in the Rain
The mission to the ancient city of Mattaru is over.
Kanda received the notification of a new mission and rushed to the next destination non-stop. Li Xianhua didn't know what was crazy, and when he was leaving, he stuffed him with a lot of grenades and a backpack full of them, fortunately, there was no security check in this era.
Yalian and Li Xianhua escorted the Holy Muslim Order together, and the other eight members of the team accompanied them.
The train I still took on the return trip was still a VIP lounge.
It's just that the atmosphere is much heavier than before.
The rookie exorcist Aaron sat on the couch, his head bowed and he didn't say a word, the broken hair on his forehead covered his eyes, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
The three members of the exploration team who escaped death were originally very talkative, and they wanted to talk about their feelings for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, but considering Alian's feelings, they still held back.
Just kidding, this kid is frustrated because he didn't protect Lala, talk about surviving in front of him, don't be too good.
"Why don't we fight the landlord?" Toma tries to lighten the mood with Aaron's favorite poker.
Ice.
"Young don't be sad, time will soothe the wounds of your soul, raise your head and move forward! Yes! The times are calling! Barton pulled out a small notebook out of nowhere and stammered as he read it.
Another cold scene.
"This is a classic quote from Instantaneous, why doesn't it work?" Barton muttered.
Are you a tease invited by the monkeys? Let's let time smooth out your IQ first! The crowd was chilled.
Eight big men, helpless against a child.
But Aryan never made people feel sorry for him, he looked up and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
"Go, go, come back soon."
The crowd was relieved.
Aaron got up and went out.
"Whew-" There was a breathless voice in the VIP room, and a gossip discussion began.
"This kid is so pathetic."
"yes, when he was in the underground tunnel, he hugged Lala and cried so badly."
"When Guzeru and Lala were buried, the tears were already dry, okay!"
"What do you think he's going to do?"
"I'm probably going to find Instantaneous, this kid only knows Instantane in the Order, but I don't think I'll see him."
"Where did Instant Hua go?"
"Sleep next door, right? He hasn't had a good rest these days. ”
"I guess it's making bullets. Every time he came back from a mission, he would hurry up to make ammo. ”
Yalian stood outside Li Xianhua's door, wanting to knock on the door but not daring.
He wanted someone to talk to, in the face of the powerlessness of the Millennial Earl, and the pain of killing the man he swore to protect. It was unbearable for him.
I'm afraid that the only one in the order who understands him and agrees with him is the senior brother, right?
But he felt that he didn't have the face to see Li Xianhua. The senior brother trusted him so much and agreed with him, but he lived up to the senior brother's expectations, first lost the mission target, and then killed her
After much hesitation, Aaron knocked on the door.
No response.
Aryan gritted his teeth and knocked again.
The door creaked, revealing a crack, and it turned out that the door was not locked at all.
Aaron looked inside: "Senior brother"
Li Xianhua was lying on the sofa with a newspaper on his face and snoring.
Is my brother sleeping?
Yalian was a little disappointed, turned around to go out, thought about it, and quietly slipped into the room, pulled Li Xianhua's coat and put it on him, and then went out.
"Smack!"
The door was locked.
The newspaper on Li Xianhua's face was blown down by the wind brought up by the door, revealing a pair of green pupils.
The white-haired young man sat up and sighed, and under him were all sorts of bullets, scattered on the couch like beans.
I can't sleep.
Lala's death is like a lingering nightmare, and after ten years, Li Xianhua once again experienced a sense of powerlessness.
It is definitely not a happy thing for someone who cares to die in front of you.
In the past ten years, Li Xianhua has experienced countless battles on the battlefield, and his comrades-in-arms have changed one after another. The old man dies and a new one takes his place. He rose from exorcist to marshal, and became an iron-clad battalion, and the members of the exploration unit were like flowing soldiers. The former Kuros detachment now has only three people left.
He thought he had long been numb and used to it, and would even be grateful for the experience, which allowed him to stay calm at all times, make the best choices, and protect more people.
But today, he found that the pain of digging into the heart and extracting the marrow has never changed.
Yalian's cry in the underground tunnel made Li Xianhua feel as if he had returned to the former Maoshan Mountain, Qixia Temple, and Lahai Holy Manor
Yalian felt ashamed of Li Xianhua, why didn't Li Xianhua feel like this.
In particular, this incident also involves a lot of cause and effect with himself. If they didn't have themselves, maybe what Aaron and Kanda faced was still just the second-level demon in the original book? At least Lala won't die at the hands of Aaron?
This butterfly seems to have set off a terrible storm, blowing the future to pieces and blur.
Where will the initiator himself be taken by this storm?
After ten years of hard work, the feeling that everything is back to square one is really annoying
Due to heavy rain, the train broke down at the previous station in London, and the team had to stay at this small station.
Li Xianhua went back to the headquarters alone, leaving only a note, leaving a group of people outside the platform to blow the cold wind.
"Is Senior Brother angry with me?" Aaron was a little sad.
"He's mad at himself. Every time someone dies in front of him, he blames himself for a long time. Buzz didn't know when he stood beside Aaron.
"Senior brother blames himself?"
"Well, just like you are now. You're really brothers. Cory on the side quipped.
"Uh" Aaron didn't know how to answer.
"There's a demon!!" There was a scream from outside the station.
When Yalian heard the call for help, he instantly got rid of his sluggish mood and ran out of the station.
"Aaron!" Toma hurriedly followed.
"Instant Hua is like this, it's really a brother." Buzz smiled.
Yalian turned into an alley: "Are you alright?" Where is the devil? ”
Halfway through Aaron's words, he couldn't go on, and in the alley, a group of people looked at him like fools.
See? Another fool who was blinded.
In the middle of the crowd, a bald man grabbed a little boy in roller skates (how can there be roller skates in this era), and looked at Aryan fiercely: "How can there be a demon!" ”
"Huh?"
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and gave the little boy a burst: "Look, John! It's all your fault for shouting for help! ”
"Cut!" The boy looked unconvinced.
"I'm sorry, it's this kid prank. He's always shouting like this to the devil or something. ”
"I'm not playing! A sucker! There really are demons! They're slowly corrupting the world! Just now, this uncle was killed by a fat man with a big hat! ”
The middle-aged man who was instructed by John covered the boy's mouth: "I'm sorry, I can't stand the entanglement to play with this child, but this child has to inch in." ”
Everyone had a "sure enough" look on their faces.
"Next time you call, we won't be fooled, John."
The crowd complained and dispersed.
The middle-aged man smiled evilly, and the sign of a five-pointed star appeared on his forehead.
There was despair in John's eyes.
"Holy, launch!"
The demon's body was pinned to the wall by its claws. Aaron's left eye was scarlet, and he looked coldly at the demon.
"You can't fool my eyes, demon!"
The demon was destroyed, and Aryan put on his gloves: "Your name is John, right?" You know a lot about demons, you're you?"
"Plop!"
Aaron was thrown to the ground by John.
"Wow! A true exorcist! See you for the first time!! John touched Aaron's left hand, "Is this a holy weapon against demons?" Let me see again, okay? Huh? ”
Poor Aryan had already fainted
