An unknown castle in Europe.

Two men sat opposite each other at the long dining table in the main hall, one with black hair and black eyes, his hair was messy, and there was no complete part of the black vest and white shirt on his body, and his skin was the same, his body was covered with large and small scars, some were burned, and some were like sharp weapons. The most serious was the hideous wound on his chest, the center of which was where his heart was, and from the center it radiated to cover his entire chest. At this time, these wounds are slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The other man has smooth silver hair, silver-gray eyes do not give people an alternative feeling but have a whirlpool-like attraction, his handsome face always has a faint smile, and he is dressed in a white suit without a trace of wrinkles, he looks young but gives people a very calm and kind feeling.

At this moment, the black-haired man was gobbling up his food in complete disregard of etiquette, as if he was participating in the Big Stomach King Competition, rather than eating a meal in such a solemn castle. The silver-haired man just looked at the black-haired man quietly, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. After a long time, the brunette man stopped his gluttonous behavior, wiped his mouth, sat up straight, and sighed.

He said to the silver-haired man, "I still can't get used to eating caviar, do you still like to eat this?"

The silver-haired man paused slightly, and made a very magnetic sound between the closure of his red lips and white teeth, but he didn't answer the question: "nine, in fact, you can still go back, we can still do the same as before."

The black-haired man looked around and said, "Soul, if I were you, I would put away those gadgets, after all, no matter how fast your attack is, you can't be as fast as your mind, right?" After saying that, some flashes of light suddenly appeared, and the flashes dimmed, they were some blue crystal clear gems, each gem had a different quaint rune in the center, the runes had an indescribable sense of heaviness, and the gems were also different from ordinary jewelry, they exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

The silver-haired man fell silent for a long time, "nine, you"

The black-haired man's lazy voice interrupted him, "Don't worry, I'm just talking to you today, there's nothing in the world that I can be nostalgic for, and I won't threaten you with anything." There was a smile of insignificance on his face.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, the brunette continued, "I'm here to tell you a story today. ”

"The story begins with a 12-year-old boy and a girl under 12 years old. The first time a boy and a girl met was on a friend's birthday, and since the boy first met the girl, he had a strange thought in his mind: 'What a face it would be if she were my girlfriend.' Yes, it's not such a romantic love at first sight, a child who is still in elementary school doesn't know what love is, but simply thinks that being in love is worth showing off. So, with this ridiculous idea, the boy began his pursuit of girls, ignorant and ignorant, he did not know how to pursue girls, he did not think of creating romance, nor did he think of expressing affection, and he did not even give a qualified gift, that is, confession day after day, perseverance and stalking. Just when he was about to give up, a miracle happened. The girl asked him some questions and made him make some reassurances. Of course, he didn't care about 3721 and agreed to it all. So they became 'lovers'. The boy's heart was very happy, but he didn't like the girl much, but he was happy to have the capital to show off in front of his friends. After their first love, the boy finds time every weekend to spend time with the girl or go shopping, or watch a movie, or eat. Of course, the boy was not very happy at first, because he played games, and the time spent with his friends would be greatly reduced, and he was a man who liked rights and did not like obligations. ”

The brunette man paused, chuckling. As time passed, the boy got to know the girl more and more, and he suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat, and for a long time his heart would beat faster when he was with the girl. Slowly, he felt very happy and comfortable with the girl, and the time he spent with the girl was the happiest time of the week, even if it was just a casual walk with her, the boy felt much happier than playing games. Well, that's liking, that's love. After a long time, the boy and the girl gradually matured, and the relationship between them became deeper and deeper, although there were some minor frictions, but they were always together. But in their sophomore year of high school, the dull days came to an abrupt end. The girl went to the United States for family reasons, and the boy, of course, knew that if she went to the United States, the girl would develop better, so he did not object. The girl went to the United States, and the boy was depressed for a while, but after being enlightened by a friend, he regained his strength and decided to try to study in the United States. So, he studied day and night, SAT, TOEFL, and participated in various Olympiads. He also thought about giving up, but every time he talked to the girl, hearing that familiar voice gave him great encouragement. Eventually, he succeeded, and when he was about to go to the United States, he got the news that the girl was missing. Can you imagine how he felt? The black-haired man said this, picked up the wine glass in front of him, shook the red wine in the glass slightly, and took a sip.

After a while, the black-haired man spoke again: "The boy didn't want to give up, so he went to the United States alone, constantly looking for clues. Unexpectedly, he opened the door to the inner world, a world he should not have set foot in. He was captured by the people of Shadow, one of the three major organizations in the world, he was captured and brought back to the organization, and suffered all the inhuman torture, at that time he only had one thought of living, how could he die without seeing the person he wanted to see? I don't know if it's the favor of God, the Shadow organization discovered that he had an unusual talent, so he survived, but he had to join Shadow and participate in Shadow's training for him. Then he killed for the first time, and the warm blood with a strong fishy smell splashed on his face, and the taste made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, the original boy was gone, but Shadow had a dirty killing machine, nine. After some time, he met a man in the organization. ”

The black-haired man glanced at the silver-haired man and continued, "This man is the most perfect man Nine has ever seen, his first friend after he came to the organization, and the teacher who helped him become stronger and enlightened him to untie the knot. After this man told him that the girl was imprisoned in the organization, and was willing to help him rescue the girl, he became the most grateful person in his life. The man's name was Soul. ”

The silver-haired man's expression finally changed for the first time, his faint smile changed, and he turned into a somewhat helpless bitter smile, and his eyes began to wander a little.

The black-haired man drank the liquor from his glass and slammed it the ground.

However, there was no "pop" sound.

Rather, the sharp and high-pitched voice of "Ding~" echoed in the main hall of the castle.

What's even more strange is that the wine glass was not broken, but lay on the ground intact, and you can vaguely see some debris on the ground where it was smashed.
