In the past, the stars could always be seen at night in Bologna, but after the plague, there was no romance in the city to look up at the stars, and everyone was praying for their own tomorrow and fearing every day.

Dio had been standing in front of the gate of the manor all midnight, today he was dressed in a military uniform, and his torso was decorated with the emblem of the patriarch of the Hearn family—two diamonds facing each other, and the young lord held a sharp sword, his cloak swaying slowly in the night breeze, as if he was ready to go out to kill the enemy at any moment.

The guards of the Hearn family and the military attachés of Bologna were also dressed up behind their lords, and even if there was a slight hesitation in their eyes as they clenched their weapons uneasily, this hesitation would disappear as long as they looked at their lord.

The people around Dio know very well that the lord is not going to face foreign enemies this time, he is going to extend the butcher's knife to his people, the existence of the quarantine area has seriously affected the operation of the entire city, it has become a gate to hell in everyone's heart, and the terrible disease will roar out of the door anytime and anywhere, dragging all the people in the city into it.

As a city of 100,000 people, Bologna has done very well, if it were replaced by other big cities, let alone controlling the spread of the epidemic and building quarantine areas, the lords might not be able to react when the last healthy person in the city disappeared.

In fact, the mortality rate of this plague is very low, or it is simply born to torture people, and the sick people either cough up blood constantly, or are in pain, or are tortured by intermittent headaches and auditory hallucinations, or they are not easy to die.

"The people in the quarantine area cannot be released, which will cause a larger area of infection, but it cannot be kept closed, so that the citizens of Bologna will keep leaving because of fear, and the merchants will not come here to do business, and the whole city will become a city of death with only the plague and the infected left. We have to make a choice, even if it is hated by almost all people. ”

Dio whispered to his men with his back, as if to help them make up their minds, as if to convince themselves.

This plague seems to be a tumor that does not cause immediate harm, but if it is not treated in time, it can become very deadly.

The six thousand infected people in the quarantine area were such a thing, and the plague did not take their lives, which was an immense blessing for them, but a disaster for the rest of the entire city.

Bologna was only an autonomous city, without a reliable state to back it up, and to be able to provide constant blood transfusions when it was weakened, and anyone in the city who had the slightest insight knew that the city could not be dragged on.

"It's early in the morning. You've been standing here with me for a long time...... So, start informing the soldiers to prepare in advance. ”

In the quarantine area, Ning Yi was looking around for Dong Dong in the dark, while complaining to the guy behind him.

"I'm just going to come out to find someone, why are you a blind man coming along! Knock Knock hasn't been found, but you're almost lost. ”

"I'm not blind, but my eyesight hasn't fully recovered. You can't beat me. ”

"Isn't your eyesight called blind? I can't see my fingers clearly when I'm three steps away! All right! I really can't beat you in the ring. ”

Ning Yi refused to come to the quarantine area with this blind man at first, and Morgan's protest method was to invite him to the martial arts arena to make two moves, so at first he felt that he was bullying the blind mercenary and was very embarrassed to find that he couldn't even beat the blind man!

Even if his eyes are difficult to see, Morgan can still judge the position of his opponent in many ways, and his blind fighting skills are very high.

"Blind, where do you think Knock Knock will go? She ran out so suddenly in the middle of the night...... What a worrying child! ”

"I don't call ...... blind"

Morgan retorted unhappily, then replied with an inexplicable smile.

"I'm not worried about that."

"Huh? Why? ”

"You...... Actually, you haven't been with that kid for a long time, have you? She's smarter than you think. ”

"You say this kid...... Clever? ”

Ning Yi wanted to laugh a little when he heard this, he really didn't see where Dong Dong was smart.

"So you've been with her for a short time...... I really don't know why this little guy is so impressed with you. ”

Morgan's tone was disdainful, but there was a hint of jealousy.

"This child is very smart, but her intelligence is only shown when she fulfills that so-called agreement, this girl observes others, imitates others, takes care of others, thinks about other people's things, wants to fit into other people's worlds, but often forgets her own existence...... So in the eyes of others, the child is stupid. ”

Ning Yi was silent for a moment, and he asked Morgan with some curiosity.

"You seem to care about Knock Knock? She's just taking care of you for a while, and you seem to know her very well? ”

"Hahaha! If you are taken care of by her like that, you will also be able to understand her mental activity. ”

The former pirate leader smiled pretending to be dashing.

"At that time, I couldn't speak, but this little girl kept talking and talking while she was treating me...... It's even noisier than a seabird! ”

Ning Yi was about to say something, but he suddenly heard a scream, and then saw a flash of fire soaring into the sky.

Boom!

The fire that rushed into the sky turned into a five-colored strange volley in the explosion.

One, two, three...... More fires rose into the sky one after another, competing to bloom in the starless night.

The entire quarantine area noticed these wonderful 'flowers', the sleeping people rubbed their eyes and walked out of the house, the frightened people who couldn't sleep walked out of the house in confusion, and the people who fell into nightmares were awakened by the explosion and walked out of the house curiously.

One, two, three...... Mothers with their children, husbands with their wives, healthy and sick people gradually flock to the streets.

Human nature is a very wonderful existence, human beings will feel sorry for themselves in happiness, and they can also taste sweet honey while clutching to the life-saving tree on the cliff.

The colorful fireworks are intense and beautiful, and they are the best honey for the residents of the quarantine area, who have been plagued by despair for a long time.

Alonthos and his friends looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and they were so attracted by the fleeting beauty that they almost forgot to light new ones.

His parents were infected by the plague, and his home was within the quarantine zone, and when the little boy found out about it, he was almost devastated...... If it weren't for Sister Dongdong's constant efforts to smile at them and take care of them.

The children behind Alonthos were in a similar situation to him, and several of the children's parents had even died in the plague, and children like them usually lived together.

Tonight, when everyone was about to go to bed, Dong Dong suddenly broke in and woke everyone up.

She pushed a whole box of fireworks in a small cart, and told everyone to start putting them a quarter of an hour after she left, and specially asked them to put them little by little, not too quickly.

The children who were woken up from their sleep were not very happy, but now when they see the fireworks blooming in the sky, this unhappiness is immediately driven away by surprise and joy.

"Ahh Why didn't Sister Dongdong set off fireworks with us? What does she do in church? ”

Alonthos muttered this, and suddenly, he saw two adults he didn't know running towards him quickly, one with a knife and the other with a gun on their backs, looking dangerous.

In the little boy's anxiety, the man with the gun ran up to him and asked eagerly.

"You ...... What's going on with these fireworks? Where is the owner of this little cart? ”

"You ...... Looking for Sister Dongdong? ”

The church guards were also attracted by the fireworks, and even the heavily infected people in the church were pulling through the windows to look out.

The brilliant colors were selflessly reflected on everyone's faces, and none of them noticed that a small figure was lying down the ladder behind the church to the bell tower for worship.

"Everybody's going to see the fireworks! No one will notice me, will they? In this way, the brilliance of the demonic power will not be noticed...... The agreement with Sakurako's sister will not be broken! I can't let humans see me using my magical powers. ”

Dong Dong pressed the hair band on her wrist, she looked a little distraught, but after holding down the bracelet woven from her mother's hair, the little one gradually became calm.

"Mom...... You don't hate me, do you? It doesn't matter if it's a monster or a human. ”

"Eun! It must be so, yes! Mom, she wouldn't care about it! ”

As she said this, the wind around her gradually changed, and they continued to concentrate around the little one.

Demon Wind ...... Knock Knock used this skill to give Kurosa a painless blow, and the little guy now plans to use this to break what Melly said.

"What an idiot I'm in! It was a plague that couldn't be saved with medicine, but I didn't even notice it. ”

Dongdong knows these unbelievable things, monsters, magic, undead ...... It's just that she hasn't thought about it all the time, and Mei Li's casual words made Xiao Maoyu have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Demon wind is one of the most basic skills to control demon power, and the air flow with its own demon power can be used to protect itself or attack opponents, and the little guy who has no talent in this area can only do this trick.

Dong Dong's idea is very simple, since the demon wind can protect herself from being affected by the plague all the time, then when this protection is extended to the entire city, won't everyone be treated?

Dong Dong, who didn't think about whether he could do this kind of thing at all, continued to release his own power, and the air flow with more and more demonic power gradually brought a layer of dreamlike colored light.

“…… I almost forgot that I am not human, I am Mao Yu! ”

Dongdong looked up at the fireworks rising in the distance, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"I'm Mao Yu!"
