Chapter 1384: The Wandering Dead
When Alice saw the broomstick flying behind her, she was slightly stunned. But she soon realized that it was most likely sent by Maca, so she reached out and grabbed it, turned over and rode up.
It's just that to be honest, she didn't go to magic school for personal reasons. As a girl with a little autism, although she has also learned about broomsticks through books, she has hardly practiced flying skills.
Right now, I saw her lying on the broom and staggering, and the flight route was also crooked, looking quite difficult.
Of course, for a beginner who can be said to be flying for the first time, being able to keep flying in the same direction like her is already quite talented. If you put it in flying lessons at Hogwarts, this is another good seedling who might be able to join the Quidditch team.
After flying for a while, the girl was a little used to flying on a broomstick, and it was only at this moment that she finally had time to glance behind her.
The battle between Maca and the demon continues, and it seems that the two sides are fighting fiercely. As for which side is dominant at the moment, it is difficult to judge with her level.
But the good thing, whether it's Maca or the demon who has the upper hand right now, what she has to do remains the same - she must get out of London as soon as possible!
Clearly, she had realized that her earlier request might have been a mistake. The two companions took the initiative to cut off for her one by one, and what they hoped for was not that she would turn around and run to find death, she had to live. Otherwise, wouldn't the sacrifices they made be meaningless?
Hasten! Accelerate again!
According to the points of riding the broomstick in her memory, the girl gradually stabilized her body and began to increase her flight speed.
The wind was blowing in her face, whistling in her ears as the buildings on either side kept receding as she lunged forward.
Before she knew it, she found herself getting closer and closer to the outskirts of the city.
But who knows, just as she was speeding through a certain deserted street, a lone figure instantly caught her attention.
“…… Is that? ”
Suddenly, the girl pressed down on the handle of the broom, turned and descended.
"Oh!"
Take-off and landing are always difficult to fly, especially the latter, if you are in too much of a hurry and get off the broom without waiting for it to stop, novices will often fall on their heels.
But Alice didn't care, and after she fell unsteadily under her feet, she hurriedly got up again. Although her knees seemed to have broken through the skin and were in hot pain, she still limped a little and ran towards the back in front of her.
"Bert!"
This was the name of one of her companions, the middle-aged gentleman...... To be honest, Alice rarely calls this name, as she is usually the one who answers.
She wasn't even sure if this was the first time she had used that name.
Merely...... Although the back looks bloody, there is a hole in the center of the vest that people dare not look at. But the suit and leather shoes, even if messy, but also very elegant, were indeed the companion she knew, the middle-aged uncle who often called himself a gentleman.
"Bert?"
Alice saw that the other party had stopped moving slowly, but she didn't turn around immediately. She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to take the initiative or not.
In fact, she remembered Maka's words very well - she remembered that Maka had said that her companions were indeed dead. It is to bring back to life those who have died...... It's not impossible, it's just that it's alive or not the original person, it's impossible to say.
And now, Alice looked at the bloody hole in the other person's back, and looked at the dark red blood that was still oozing from the hole...... Even if she didn't want the uncle who was actually very gentle in his heart to die, it was difficult for her to believe that the other party still had a chance to live.
"Bert?"
As the girl hesitated to call the other person's name again, she finally saw the figure move under her feet, and her upper body swayed and turned.
And then she saw that the other party's face, which was originally quite handsome, had completely become a loose appearance at the moment.
The eyelids drooped, the mouth opened half weakly, and saliva hung diagonally from the corners of the mouth. A pair of eyes obviously didn't look directly at this side, but she only felt that the other party was looking at her intently, which made her whole person tense involuntarily.
At the same time, an inexplicable sense of disobedience made her feel very uncomfortable.
It's just that, just looking at the appearance, it is indeed her companion, the middle-aged gentleman uncle who took the initiative to stay and face the devil. Just looking at the familiar physical appearance, the girl became overwhelmed.
What should she do? Is it to approach him, to tempt him? Or take a few steps back away from him?
For a while, Alice, who was in a bit of a dilemma, was stunned in place.
However, she didn't move, but the other party moved! I saw that the figure covered in blood suddenly leaned forward as if it was about to fall, and then it flew up with a sudden movement under his feet.
In the next second, Alice was very shocked to see "him" suddenly flying towards her, just looking at the speed was not slow at all!
This is clearly not Bert...... Or at least it wasn't the Bert she knew.
Suddenly, the girl stepped on the broomstick in her hand again, turned around and flew into the air. Seeing this, the "Bert" behind him also resolutely chased after him, and his speed continued to increase.
"Why...... Who, exactly, is that? Is Bert really dead? So why did he become like this? ”
“…… Is this also what Helbo is doing? ”
She thought as she flew, occasionally looking back, and then trying to speed up her flight when she noticed that the other person was still approaching.
As the broom beneath her became faster and faster, she felt that she was getting a little out of control, and it took a lot of effort to control the handle of the broom, which began to tremble.
At this point, a wizard with enough experience will actually understand that the speed of this broom is almost at its limit.
Thankfully, when Alice looked back again, she finally realized that she didn't seem to be able to continue the chase anymore - she was gradually distancing herself from each other.
After a while, the girl only felt that the business around her was instantly clear, and she realized that she had finally left the scope of the London gray fog and came to the suburbs.
"It's out!"
Before Alice could rejoice a little, she quickly turned her head to look behind her, only to see that the path was also rapidly approaching the edge of the mist, and was about to rush out.
