Chapter 18: You're Surrounded by Me!
The red moon, which emitted a dazzling red light, gradually rose, and the thick, almost condensed fog finally slowly dissipated.
And in the depths of the dispersing fog, a castle appeared that seemed to be watered with blood.
Red moonlight casts through the castle's massive floor-to-ceiling windows, staining everything inside red.
Looking through the window, you can see the huge vestibule of the castle, and the lavish decoration shows how noble and wealthy the owner of the castle was.
But at this moment, nobility and wealth cannot hide the silence in the castle at all, and can only reflect the loneliness of the owner of this castle.
A gust of wind, quietly blowing through a crack in the middle, blowing up the roses that had long since withered in the corner.
The petals fluttered in the wind with a bleak color, and a petite figure was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window at the moment, bowing his head and slightly stunned.
"Blunt ...... It seems that there is no rain today. Zero looked up at the blood moon tonight, as if she was talking to herself, but she knew that she was not alone in this deathly silent castle.
"Zero loves rainy days!" The black cat puppet in Zero's arms immediately responded when he heard someone call his name.
It was a black puppet with only the color of its ears, eyes, and the bow around its neck. If it were placed in the previous decades, this would undoubtedly be a very elaborate puppet, but Zero knew that Blount was different.
He was her best and only companion, and while Blunt was just a "special life" she had "crafted" through that unexpected ability, it didn't cause zero to be wary, and it made her more dependent on Blunt.
Because of all the experiences when she was young, this poor child became less talkative, and she was not good at communicating with others, so she naturally became the one who was always excluded, so her personality became more and more withdrawn.
However, Blunt also has a special ability to hear the thoughts of any creature he has direct contact with at the moment---- as well as gaining self-awareness.
So in some unavoidable occasions, Blunt plays the role of a medium for zero communication with other people.
Zero heard Bronthe's gentle voice and nodded slightly.
"Hmm...... Yes. This was what Blunt heard Zero say to him in her heart.
Since Zero learned about Blounte's ability, he has become almost unable to speak a few words for a week, although Blount does not agree with this, and even regrets that he will never hear Zero's addictive voice again.
However, out of his liking and obedience to Zero, Blunt obediently became the necessities that Zero used to talk to others.
"Yes! Blunte: I love rainy days! After all, it was the weather when Zero and I met for the first time! Blunt turned his head away from Zero's pretty face, which looked like he was paralyzed, and looked out the window at the sky that had gradually darkened, and his thoughts drifted back to years ago.
It was a rainy evening, and Zero was walking down the street like a walking corpse.
No one knew what had happened to her, and Zero had been walking slowly down the streets, out of place with the pedestrians who were coming and going, hurrying to various places to take shelter from the rain.
Let the rain lap on her head, face, body. Even though he was soaking wet, Zero still didn't feel anything.
It is even said that until that moment, Zero's eyes are dull and colorless.
Until she witnessed the whole process of a black cat doll being "abandoned" by his little owner......
At that moment, looking at the puppet, Zero seemed to see himself abandoned by his parents...... She bent down to pick up the puppet and brought it back to the castle that had once made her feel warm and beautiful.
Female red is a lesson that every lady has to learn, and Zero Nature has done a good job, but the person who taught her carefully at the beginning is no longer in this world, and Zero can't tell what it feels like.
It seems to be sad, but it seems to be happy, as if it has been avenged, but it seems that the heart is like a knife.
With this mixed feeling, she sewed up the black cat puppet and put on a new bow for him. That's what her "dad" used when he was alive......
Then after doing all this, Zero lost consciousness and fell unconscious. Because she didn't change her clothes as soon as she got home, she seemed to have a fever.
But at this moment, a purple shimmer suddenly flashed on Zero's body...... Followed by the strange scene of the new black cat puppet on the stage slowly sitting up......
Thinking of this, Blunt had already been taken by Zero to the dining room on the first floor of the castle, and Blunt sat on the chair that Zero had made for them, watching the other huge brown bear doll slowly put dinner on the table, and couldn't help but ask.
"Carl, it's not going to be honey scrambled eggs again!?"
The brown bear puppet called Carl by Blunt didn't pay attention to him, but respectfully uncovered the lid of the plate in front of Zero, looking at the well-selling steak on the plate, Carl smiled proudly, and after making a standard but bloated-looking gentleman's salute to Zero, he stepped aside and said, "Please use it slowly." ”
Compared with Zero's special treatment, Blunt's treatment was much worse, and after he stretched out his hand with difficulty to open the lid of the plate in front of him, he smelled the smell that was very familiar to him......
"Carl! How honey scrambled eggs again! Blount angrily pushed the plate forward, looking like he didn't want to eat it.
Of course, it was impossible for Zero and Carl to turn a blind eye to such a big movement in the face of Blunt, but the two of them just glanced up, after all, they already knew that the special lifeforms that gained life after séing would not feel hunger and pain.
"Alright, Blunt, we'll report to the school later." Zero glanced at the honey scrambled eggs in front of Blunt that really didn't dare to compliment, and was as indifferent as her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
But she still hadn't figured out why Carl was always so hostile to Blunt. How many books Ren Ling has read since she was a child, and what kind of erudite and talented she is, but her withdrawn personality has caused her to never understand their friendship called "sworn friends".
Sure enough, when Zero lowered his head and picked up the knife and fork, although Blount was not happy with the ten thousand in his mouth, he finally obediently cut the honey scrambled egg into small pieces with a knife and fork and ate it slowly.
