"Hey, Aldo, is that your signal?"

In the burning hallway, Chloe and Aldo were about to leave the place of right and wrong of the convent, when someone behind them asked.

"Is that your signal?"

Chloe turned around in surprise, and on the corpses at the end of the hallway, several wizards with wands were standing.

Aldo couldn't help but say, and immediately pressed Chloe's shoulder, cut her arm behind her back, and smiled: "Of course, see who I caught?"

As he spoke, he moved without leaving a trace, stopping the corpse of the nightmare Aldor.

The black-robed ones took a closer look and smiled, "Okay, it's actually you guy who caught the most important person, and you're really lucky." ”

"It's called strength, how can you say luck. ”

Aldo's voice grew bold.

"Okay, don't get scared. ”

The wizard said, "Come on, Mance is waiting for you!"

When the black robe turned around, he said in Chloe's ear in an undetectable tone: "Don't be impulsive, Mance won't kill you, and when you get through this hurdle, I'll take you away secretly." ”

Chloe didn't answer, she didn't have any hope at the moment, what should have come would come, and in the dream, everything would only get worse, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

The wizard who walked in front raised his wand, and the sound of explosions still rang out, and they walked quickly through the courtyard, hearing the air raid sirens in the distance.

A handful of torches were lit in the hall, and the fireplace flickered, but much of the hall was shrouded in darkness. The benches leaned against the wall, and there was nowhere to sit.

The nightmare Müller Mance sat high in front of the priest's usual pulpit at Mass, he had taken off his cloak, the fine German military uniform was a fine pocket watch, he looked at the time, and said with a smile: "You caught Lemay, it was so punctual, Aldo, I knew you were the best." ”

"These guys tried to protect her, and I killed them all. ”

Aldo let out a gruff shrill laugh: "I can't help myself. ”

"You can't blame them, the wizard who can control the power of time and space can't come out in hundreds of years, so naturally he must protect it. ”

Mance smiled and said, "Bring her here and let me enjoy it." ”

Aldori pushed Chloe forward, and as he passed the shadow of the torch, he whispered behind her, "Don't be afraid, he won't do anything to you." ”

Chloe's mind was dizzy, and she saw that people were constantly being driven into the halls of the monastery, and the dark wizards dragged them with their spells as casually as they dragged potatoes, and the fiery red light from the tip of the wand made the entwined people writhe frantically, foaming at the mouth, and screaming.

Mother Sannessa was dragged out of her office, her dress torn in half, and she had to hold them together with her clenched fists, and she followed along, struggling with every step.

Father Red's face was covered in blood, and he tried to help, but was mercilessly knocked to the ground by a dark witch.

Chloe was pushed under the statue and in a trance, she felt that the corners of Jesus' lips on the crucifixion seemed to be a mocking smile.

Nightmare Mance smiled and said, "Ah, Miss Lemay, I have admired you for a long time. I can't wait to have a long talk with you. ”

"Let them go. Chloe said numbly. Looking into the eyes of the priest and the nun, even though she knew that everything was false, she still didn't want to see what happened afterward.

Nightmare Mance nodded, "Of course, but it depends on how well you cooperate." He rubbed his hands together and laughed a little philistine, and he asked feverishly in Chloe's ear: "Tell me, tell me, Miss Lemay, who will be the winner in this war?"

Chloe was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably raised her head to meet the painful eyes of the kneeling priest, whose mouth was firmly sealed by a spell, but still looked at her and shook her head.

Mance: "Don't look at him, look at me!"

He grabbed Chloe's face with so much longing and probing on his face that he was so hard that the black gloves stuck into Chloe's mouth.

"Tell me, Almighty Time Keeper, Wonder Witch, tell me who will be the ultimate winner of this war, when will Hitler die, will Grindelwald die in the end?

"I don't know what you're talking about......."

"Tell me!!" Nightmare Mance shook Chloe's head violently like a piggy bank child.

"I really don't know. ”

Chloe was horrified.

The frenzy on Nightmare Mans's face grew colder, and his reddened eyes turned back to a temperatureless blue.

"Don't say it. ”

He looked at Aldo.

Aldo squeezed out an unusually ugly smile.

Nightmare Mance drew his pistol, stepped in front of Sister Sannessa in three steps and two steps, aimed it at the nun's head, and pulled the trigger. Gunshots echoed, the crowd screamed, and the nuns fell to the ground.

Aldo grabbed Chloe's shoulders and didn't let her make any movements.

"To say or not?" asked Müller Mance.

"I don't know," Chloe cried, "I've never seen anything like that!?"

"Lie! These people have been holding you for so long, I don't believe they have any ability to develop you!"

"Enough!"

There was an angry shout in the distance, and the priest, whose face was covered with blood, struggled to stand up: "Not everyone feels that power is supreme, we live with her, just together. I don't want to play with time. ”

"Well, you're stupid. ”

With that, he put the pistol to the priest's head.

"Since power is not so supreme to you, then you pay the price for this creed of the weak. ”

Before Chloe could utter a word, a gunshot rang out, and the blood made a graceful arc and landed precisely on her face, and her eyes were blurred with blood. I can't see anything clearly.

"Kill them all?"

Someone asked.

"They are all opponents of the Empire," Mance said. To be merciful to one's opponent is to be cruel to oneself. Not a single one is left. ”

The green light flashed continuously.

By the time Chloe regained her sight, all the people in the monastery had fallen in a pool of blood. This is exactly what happened after she met Delfina. She didn't see it directly at the time, but now the dream actually re-enacted it in front of her eyes.

"Do you need me to take her to the car?"

Aldo asked Nightmare Mance respectfully.

Nightmare Mans did not doubt him, "Take her to the camp and return to Berlin tomorrow." ”

"As you wish. ”

Aldo dragged Chloe, like the walking dead, all the way to the outside of the monastery.

Chloe couldn't help but sobbed low as Aldo patted her on the back beside her, "It's over, I'll find a boat to take you out of here later." ”

"It's all my fault. ”

She choked with tears in her eyes.

"How can you think that, I've killed hundreds of people without thinking about right or wrong, it's work, that's all. ”

"If it weren't for me, how would they have died. ”

"Even without you, a careerist like Mance wouldn't stop walking, so why do you blame yourself? Besides, things have already happened, and there is no point in weeping over what has happened. ”

"So what would you do?"

"I'll kill Mance if I were you. ”

"I can't kill. Chloe shook her head: "This is what God requires of me." ”

"Although I don't believe in God, I know that God must be more than good, and goodness is not a sword that cannot defeat the devil..... Ahem..... Ahem......"

He coughed suddenly, this time for a long time.

After coughing, Aldo said hoarsely:

"Sometimes I wonder, why did God create this world so that people could live in it?

I don't think so, if he wants people to live in peace, why should he set people up so selfishly, so ambitious, and just set them up as creatures like dodos. Later, I thought, maybe God's intentions are not good, and he doesn't need mildness and salvation, all he needs is endless conflict......."

Bang Bang Bang!!

Applause came from behind him, interrupting Aldo's reassurance.

"I've been working with you for so many years, and I haven't seen that Aldo has a lot of ideas in your little brain. ”

Aldo turned back in a flash of lightning, and the nightmare Mance returned, and he carried his gun, and said gloomily, "But I don't see that you are in the league with this kind of religious waste that only talks about it." ”

The black-robed wizard regrouped and encircled the riverbank.

"How do you know!?" Aldo said in disbelief, standing up.

"Oh, I reminded him. ”

A man with a feminine smile emerges from the crowd, holding a red apple in his hand and nibbling nonchalantly. "So, you killed your other self?"

It was Anker, who was now back to his normal size, but his eyes still burned with a raging nightmare fire.

"Ankel......" Aldo called out his name with difficulty.

"You lied to Mance, you can't fool me. I've seen through your thoughts, my dear Aldo, and you love her, don't you?"

Nightmare Anker smiled at Chloe like a poisonous snake: "It's a pity, only this level of repentance, can you accept it?"

He approached step by step with the nightmare dark wizard, his smile thick with sharp teeth. The gnawed apple turned into a sharp hook in his hand.

Aldo sighed and said to Chloe, "I'm sorry, Miss Lemay, but that's all I can do. ”

With that, he pushed Chloe down the bank and into the raging waters of the Seine.

......

......

The sky was thick with smoke. Columns of jet-black smoke swirled from hundreds of fires in the distance, black fingers obscuring the stars. Along the Seine, flames filled the horizon and burned all night, huge tongues of fire shining like orange spotlights on the passing rain clouds. Even in a dream, there is a smell of ash in the air.

Returning to the nightmare, Hoffa looked at the scene in front of him and was speechless in surprise. It's a different place than it was when he left.

What happened?

A gust of wind blew, and some fragments of broken newspapers fluttered through the air. He walked down the street and picked up a random newspaper from the ground.

Newspapers documented German raids on monasteries and churches, as well as the killing of many Jewish priests and nuns. He put down the newspaper and grabbed the fragment of another newspaper in the sky, still recording the same contents.

When he was in Paris, he did hear about a massacre in a monastery, and the finger pointed at the black witch, but soon the report disappeared without a trace. After all, France was a German-occupied zone, and any report that discredited the Vichy government would be banned. He didn't care, after all, in this era, all kinds of disasters and deaths happen every day.

But he didn't expect that this matter would have something to do with Chloe. Thinking of Chloe's previous bad attitude towards Aldo and others, Hoffa's heart was half cold.

This incident is an invincible psychological shadow for anyone, let alone a girl under the age of twenty.

If the Dark Wizard had slaughtered the Terral Monastery in pursuit of her, and she was the only survivor of the monastery, it would be almost impossible for her to accept any help from Aldor.

He threw away the newspaper and hurried towards the monastery.

When we arrived at the monastery, it was eerily quiet, and only the flames burned silently under the night sky.

The gate was broken, and there were corpses all over the place, and he looked over one by one, and most of them had died from the Curse, and only a few had died from the shooting.

His heart was tense and beating like a giant drum, for fear of seeing the nun's godless eyes around the corner. The only consolation was that he didn't see the nun's body, but he didn't see any living mouth.

It wasn't until he walked along the thick blood to the Seine that he heard someone call out to him in a low voice.

"Mr. Bach...?"

Following the sound, I saw a man leaning against the wall, barely making out of sight. It's just a lump of flesh and blood.

The moment he saw it, Hoffa was startled. But a little bit of the original color of blonde hair was faintly recognizable from the top of his head, and he could barely make out the identity of this guy.

"Aldor?"

He asked tentatively.

"It's me. ”

Hoffa slowly squatted down and stretched out his hand, neither touching him, nor not touching him.

"How did you become like this?"

"I'm grateful. The fleshy lump whispered.

"What?" Hoffa didn't understand.

"Your first instinct wasn't to ask me where Chloe went. The blurred flesh gasped and laughed, making a bellows-like sound.

"I want to know what's going on, Aldo. ”

"Anker has been here... He ate me. But I slit open his stomach and crawled out. "I have pushed Mademoiselle Le May into the Seine, and if you want to find her, go down the river, and it may be too late." ”

His only skeletal fingers trembled and pointed to the river, but Hoffa let out a sigh: "Good fellow, you have no right to laugh at my hair now." ”

"Hehehe... Ahem... You really have a cruel sense of humor, Mr. Bach. ”

Hoffa took off his clothes and tried to wrap the body in front of him.

"Hold on, Aldo. ”

"No need, Hoffa Bach. The only time Aldo called out his full name, "It's hopeless, I know it myself." Go to Miss Lemay. ”

"It's a dream, don't care what hurts. ”

Hoffa said: "It would be nice to come back to reality. ”

The bloody guy shook his head slightly, "It's useless, it's been too long, in the real world, I'm probably drowned, this is where I belong." ”

Large streams of seawater poured out from all corners of his body and in the cracks of his bones, and his bloody palm suddenly grabbed Hoffa's arm, "Mr. Bach, look at me. ”

Hofa looked into his eyes, which were surprisingly bright and clear, like the pure waters behind the white sand beaches of Hawaii.

"I've heard a little bit about you, leaving England at a young age, leaving the safety of Hogwarts, wandering outside before the age of sixteen... To be honest, I admire you, life has always been extremely harsh for us, but I never had the courage to make a better choice......"

"You can come with me to the UK, we said okay. ”

He tried to break free of the other's palm and continue to bandage him, but the horrible bloody hands grasped him firmly.

"There's no time, you listen to me. Aldor spoke quickly, and a stream of water mixed with stubbs of internal organs poured out of his mouth.

"Speak. ”

"Don't hurt Miss Lemay, no matter what. I ask you. No matter what kind of hardship you have, don't hurt her, otherwise, I will definitely haunt you in your nightmares and follow you forever!"

As he said this, he struggled to pull himself together.

Looking at his breathtaking eyes, Hoffa nodded slowly: "I promise you." ”

Aldo smiled, let go of his hand, leaned heavily against the wall, and muttered in a low voice, "This is the first time I've actively chosen a different fate, and it feels awesome." By the way, you... You've seen Mance, watch out for him, he's a lot scarier than you think. If... If only you could get out of the dream. If you find that you are not his opponent, you can try black mistletoe, it will work wonders. ”

"Wait until we're out, Aldo. ”

Hoffa lowered his head, trying to bandage his body.

But in the end, the other party remained motionless, and his eyes were scattered.

Perceiving the demise of the man's spirit and soul, Hoffa raised his head, stunned. In the past year, he has experienced many wars and witnessed countless deaths, but this time it is rare for him to lose his mind.

The other party was like a mirror, he saw something in him, something that he once had, but gradually faded and forgotten in the arrow of time.
