Nostalgic scents, pleasant light and a temperature that spreads a lazy atmosphere.

There are still memories of holding the hand of an important person, entrusting his life to the past, and trying to redeem him at all costs. Then, in the reassuring light, as if being embraced in someone's arms, the anxiety and fear vanished. I'm still here, she's still here, and nothing is lost until—

Yelu slowly opened her eyes.

Familiar yet unfamiliar ceilings, with off-white glossy lattice panels arranged in a regular pattern.

In the corner of the ceiling, an old metal device with a soft red and yellow glow has been whispering mechanical sounds from the exhaust vents, and the cold air is expelled from it.

…… Where am I?

It was a slightly smaller room, the walls were the same color as the ceiling, and the gray and white looked like his life.

However, the orange-red glow cast from the closed window on the right-hand side was like a light peeking through a crack in the trees...... There must be a beautiful sunset behind the shadow of the white curtains, right?

The room was empty, and Yelu slowly got up from the bed.

It was just a moment of breathing, and the previous feeling of being hugged from the back disappeared, leaving no trace. Not even the taste of the aftertaste remained, only coldness and loneliness remained.

His limbs moved, his body was extremely heavy, and his hands, which used to be lifted by a single thought, were now extremely stiff.

My mind was hazy, and when I looked closely, everything I saw in front of me was vague.

At this moment, the door opened.

The bedroom door opened quietly, and a more vague-looking figure walked in.

From her posture, Yeyu could vaguely tell that it was a woman.

“………………”

She came slowly, speaking inaudible words from her mouth.

Yexi looked at her in confusion, and an intimate sense of familiarity arose spontaneously from her heart, but she inexplicably felt extremely cold, as if she had recalled something bad.

He wanted to ask who she was, but his lips closed involuntarily.

What's wrong with me...... Ye Yu was puzzled, but could only silently watch the vague woman sitting on the edge of his bed.

“…………”

As she spoke, she leaned over to Yexi, raised her arms, and caressed Yexi's face.

Her cold fingers had no temperature, and the touch on her face was not at all comfortable, and even made him feel a chill down his spine.

Ye Yu couldn't see the expression on the woman's face clearly, but from the change in the tone of her voice, a trace of uneasiness welled up in his heart.

The woman's fingers were pointing downwards and away from his cheek.

Suddenly, these hands tightly grabbed Yexi's neck!

There was a popping sound from excessive exertion, the joints turned white, and the slender nails were embedded in the flesh, oozing blood.

Nightshade couldn't resist and watched as it happened.

The body did not listen to the call, and the hazy consciousness gradually became clear under the pain. Ye Yu's eyes widened, and when he was on the verge of suffocation, he had a splitting headache and saw clearly who this person was in front of him!!

"Mom?"

—————— reality——————

Night's eyes snapped open.

Sweat kept secreting, and he almost throbbed his upper body from the bed, gasping for air.

The heart is beating high, breathing is shruffled, the pulse rate is abnormal, and the pupils are dilated...... Waking up from the nightmare, his back was leaning against the wooden bed, his chaotic mind could not help him calm his mind, and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the warmth coming from the Wangcheng mark on his left hand, prompting him to calm down, the night bell might have broken down.

No matter how strong a person is on the outside, there must be a place in the heart that cannot be touched. Once reviewed, the disguised mask disintegrates.

I don't know how long it took for the night to ease up.

"In a dream...... Dreams? ”

In order to confirm whether he was dreaming, Yelu bit his left hand, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers on his hand.

"It doesn't hurt...... No, it's that I don't have the energy. ”

I didn't even have the strength to bite myself, and Yeyu smiled bitterly. Looking at the saliva left on his hands, Yelu lifted the quilt and wiped it...... No, I'm sleepy and confused? Where am I?

Am I not in the City Lord's Mansion? What am I doing in the City Lord's Mansion...... I remembered where I went to save Noor. And it doesn't matter that the three seven twenty-one used the priest's testimony, and then ...... It seems that I heard the voice of Panishi, and then I can't remember it clearly.

The conscious night rubbed his eyes, almost subconsciously, and tears fell.

Staring at his right hand that wiped away his tears, the remaining droplets on his index finger made him shake his head.

What am I crying about?

Don't understand.

Don't think about what you don't understand.

Yelu shook her head and looked around, it was the middle of the night, and the moonlight was shining in through the window.

It's a girl's bedroom, and you can see it at first glance.

Nonsense, such a large dresser and wardrobe occupy half of the room, it's not a girl's room that is weird, well, I don't rule out the possibility of a pseudo-mother...... But that possibility soon faded.

Yelu looked at the woman lying on the side of the bed and was stunned.

Nilemon?

Why is Nilemon here?

Nilemon lay quietly on the edge of the bed, curled up like a kitten. Long eyelashes fall and a faint snoring sounds relaxing.

There was a confusion in my mind, that is, I was ...... by the adventurers No, it should be Shu Xiaosheng who came to the City Lord's Mansion to rescue me and bring me back to the Adventurers' Guild.

It makes sense to think about it, otherwise what would I be in my current situation?

Either they were captured by Felder's men and turned into RBQ.

Or was rescued by the newly adopted younger brother and became RBQ...... Oh, I don't know how Lucis is now? Ye Yu thought to himself, and a headache came, making him give up thinking.

Forget it, anyway, it's just a little brother who flickered for a while, and it doesn't matter if you're dead or alive.

In order to shake off the pain, Yezhu shook his head again, and he looked at the young lady next to him.

Well, that's ...... Is Nilemon sleeping here to take care of me?

It's really embarrassing to be like this, Ye Yu lifted the quilt and wanted to cover Nimeng, but she just thought about it.

At this moment, his body is extremely weak, and trying to stretch his arm to pull the quilt over, it makes him feel as if he has run a two-kilometer marathon, extremely tired.

If it weren't for the nerve reflexes that bounced up from nightmares, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Yeyu to even support herself on her own strength now.

Unlike the sharp pain he felt all over his body when the Bloods woke up after the First World War, Nightshade now felt powerless.

It is as if every cell in the body has lost its vitality and is lazy to float, which is like using up a whole bottle of wind oil essence...... No, it's like it's burned out.

In fact, Yelu almost died because of the exhaustion of his vitality.

When I closed my eyes, I could barely feel a little spiritual power flowing through my body.

Yelu silently mentioned this spiritual power, and pulled her hands that had barely become flexible, and covered the quilt on the sleeping Nimeng.

"Wow...... So sleepy. ”

After doing this, he collapsed on the bed like a shriveled slime, his head tilted back heavily against the pillow.

Yelu is not a person who is good at expression, but he knows what it means to be grateful.
