Part 4 Crossing the Fog and the Mountains and the Sea 29 Desperately chasing

29 Chase after you

Herm's sudden appearance made Milo's blood spurt, he was afraid of the weapon in his hand before, and now he has made a simple crossbow by himself, he is not afraid, even if the worst result is to die here, and in this misty jungle, it is also a relief to finish himself off early - but this is extremely inconsistent with the style of the "undead of Tom City", because at this time, he has long lost his good judgment!

As soon as Herm Bain, the man who had been mentally torturing him for a long time, had already lost half of Milo, not to mention that he had all kinds of advantages, he was haunted in the fog, and he threatened Erin's personal safety, not seeking to kill with one blow, but to continue to mentally defeat the other party, and finally defeated Milo......

"I hope that the next time I come to you, you will be the only one ......" "It's not your turn to say that......" Herm's words devoured the last shred of Milo's sanity like a poisonous snake, and he finally became angry, let go of Erin, who had just recovered, picked up his simple crossbow, and rushed towards Herm with a brisk stride-"Let's break it this time!" Milo thought to herself.

Seeing this, Herm retreated into the mist. Milo followed, chasing after the figure that was constantly blurring and gradually becoming clearer, "As long as I keep chasing you, you can't hurt Irene!" Melo thought as he chased, and noticed that he was a little reckless and defenseless—but at this point he couldn't do so much, and Melo was carried away by Herm's taunts, and now he only knew how to pursue, pursue...... After!

Maybe Milo's approach was out of place, but he did do something right, because the pursuit that followed made Herm have no time to fight back, and Hem, who was born as a rider, was obviously not as strong as Milo, because the distance between the two was shortening, and Milo could clearly see Herm's figure, and when he was really tired, he could give him a fatal blow with a simple crossbow!

The pursuit continued......

The Past of the City of Toom IV

Spring 1798, Tum City.

Melo Entekoman had been serving in the 3rd Cavalry Regiment for almost a year, and as an alien recruit, he was not welcome, and was assigned to clean the stables, spending his days with hay and horse manure. Even so, Melo thinks that the current situation is better than before - no one in Toum City knows about the negative rumors about his family, which saves him from more criticism, so he is tired, bitter, and smelly...... It doesn't matter.

Melo was very industrious, and the work in the stable was always done early, so he was able to lie on the haystack often and enjoy the rare leisure. He liked to lie on the top of the haystack, where he could look out into the street from the vents above the wall of the stable, and above all to avoid the sight of people: he was not noticed by anyone who entered the stable from the outside, and he liked the feeling of hiding himself so much that many soldiers always thought that there were only horses and no one else in the stable.

After the Epistolary Rafting began, Milo didn't take it seriously, he could read, he could write, and he could write and write well, but he never showed it, for the same reason - he liked to hide himself.

Suddenly, one day, while lying on a haystack, Milo noticed an extra pot on the ventilation window, blocking his view. He had to remove the pot, only to find the letter underneath the pot—he knew it was a letter drift. Milo knew that it was immoral to peek at other people's letters, but he had hidden himself for a long time: "If I open the letter, peek at the contents, and put it in its seal, no one will know!" And isn't this kind of hiding one's sins a kind of exciting enjoyment? So, after only a moment's hesitation, he opened the letter and began to read it......

The words in the letter speak of his own unfortunate fate, and Milo cannot help but sympathize with the author—how similar he is to the author, who has been ignored and ridiculed because of his unrecognized identity! After reading it, Milo carefully put away the letter and put it away as it was, without moving the position of the pot. If he could get a reply to the letter, he decided to take a look at it. So every day Milo would check to see if the letters had been taken or replaced...... It wasn't until a few days later that he found out that the letter was gone! An inexplicable excitement welled up in Milo's heart, because someone had taken the letter, and replies could follow, and he could peek at the new content again!

Sure enough, a day later, the reply was pressed under the flower pot, and Melo was nervous and happy, lying on the haystack, enjoying the taste of eavesdropping on other people's letters......

The reply letter was full of words of encouragement, and Juanxiu's words were filled with an optimistic and enterprising spirit, as brilliant and beautiful as a rainbow, shining on people's hearts. Milo was completely moved, and he began to enjoy the pleasure of reading the letters, and a pursuit of happiness welled up in his heart...... So, he decided to continue secretly reading the letters of the two.

One month, two months...... Half a year has passed, and the average of three to four times a month has become an indispensable part of Milo's daily life - in this world, there are still beautiful things and emotions, which makes him feel a happy feeling every time he secretly reads a letter! Finally, he couldn't help but see with his own eyes which two people were doing the epistolary drift...... Sneak watch, of course.

Milo had a good day, lurking in the stables day and night, and soon discovered one of the letter writers, Herm Bain. As a man in the barracks, Herm is not allowed to participate in the letter drift, but Milo understands him, because Herm is a Kulo and has been discriminated against more than himself, and he needs a chance to be released. Melo and Herm know each other, but they are only one-sided, and they have nothing to do with each other. The only thing that impressed Milo was Herm's blue eyes...... Next, there was another letter writer left.

On a normal day, Melo was lazily lying on the haystack when he noticed a figure swaying on the other side of the ventilation window, and his heart raced—he could finally see the man. When a pretty girl's face appeared, Milo felt that her heart stopped beating for a moment: it was her! The girl who gave him flowers when he was down, inspiring him to "don't give up and look forward......

That night, Melo stayed awake all night.

The epistle drift continued, and so did Milo's eavesdropping—but his state of mind was very different. Winter is coming, the end of the year is approaching, and Melo sees this in Herm's letter: I want to see each other. A few days later, in the girl's reply, Milo saw the words that made his heart tremble: "I would like to meet you." The letter was followed by a time and place of the meeting......

At this moment, Milo's world froze, and what she had been hiding herself for a long time and peeking at the letters was what she was hoping for...... The girl who gave him hope and motivation is about to meet Herm...... Milo instantly felt that she was about to be abandoned, that her world was about to collapse, and that the happiness she had been pursuing was getting farther and farther away...... Why? Why didn't you meet the girl?

……

"No, it can be yourself!" Milo thought of something, and he suddenly smiled, "Yes! It could be me, I could go see her! Go and meet the girl who once inspired herself and was like sunshine! His heart suddenly burst out laughing madly - a plan, an evil plan hatched......

Unknown day, misty jungle.

Erin sat alone, the fog around her. She was once again in a state of helplessness - just now, Melo rushed behind her, and disappeared into the fog...... Standing alone? Erin was deeply ridiculous, Milo, whom she had always trusted, had left herself alone three times, and if the first two were accidents, this time it was really too much! If it's really something that's being tracked, why not explain it? Is there really anything to hide from yourself? Erin couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of this......

"Kid, are you alright?" Xia Fei emerged from the thick fog, and he seemed very careful, probably afraid that Milo was still nearby.

"Uncle!" As if she had found a savior, Erin reluctantly stood up and ran to Xia Fei's side.

"I'm still not worried about you, so I've been watching from the sidelines. As a result, I saw that Ente Koman, that kid just left you and ran away...... Alas, are you okay? ”

Erin's heart was like a knife, and she couldn't hold on any longer, "Uncle...... My heart hurts......" Tears came down again.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, my child ......" Xia Fei put his arm around Erin and gently patted her head like a father, comforting her, "I'm sure he'll be back." ”

"I ...... I don't know if I should trust him or not......" Erin sobbed, "he's so perverse, there must be something to hide from me......"

"Kid, this is the Misty Jungle," Xia Fei said earnestly, "it's a place that can drive people crazy, don't blame him." Erin shook her head, and stopped talking. Suddenly, she noticed a small paper bag on the ground in front of her, and immediately picked it up, "This is ......" Erin opened the paper bag, and it was white powder.

Xia Fei dipped a little, put it on his nose and sniffed: "My God of Ten Thousand Sources, this is poison!" Falling out of him? This paper bag made the two of them stunned for a moment - who is this poison going to use on?

"Kid, I think...... I hope I'm wrong," Xia Fei said with some fear, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, "Entekman, he may have gone crazy......"

Although Erin didn't want to admit it, her current situation made her overwhelmed, "So what should I do?" Uncle ......"

"Take out that dagger!" Xia Fei said, "If you protect yourself, you must protect yourself, maybe...... Wait, listen! Xia Fei's eyes widened, listening to the sounds around her, and Erin didn't speak, trying to keep it as quiet as possible - in the thick fog, the sound of rapid running was rapidly approaching!

"I must hide, boy, do you want to come along?" Before Xia Fei could finish speaking, he rushed towards the bushes next to him, and the thick fog immediately obscured him. Erin couldn't react, she didn't catch up with Xia Fei, but she felt that the sprinting sound was getting closer and closer, and she had to hold the dagger tightly and get ready to attack - even if it was Milo, she wouldn't let her guard down!

……

Melo continued to chase after him, crossing many bushes, crossing several rivers, and changing directions...... I wanted to completely cut off Hem in one fell swoop, but his figure slowly faded away and became no longer clear. Milo was anxious, and sweat kept coming out, and some sweat actually flowed into his eyes - his vision was blurred, and Milo had to wipe it, but at this moment, he found that the figure not far away suddenly stopped! Milo, who was sprinting at full speed, used his inertia to pounce on that figure!

"Bang!" A loud crash sounded.

In an instant, Milo had already knocked the opponent to the ground! He immediately pressed down on the other person's throat and imprisoned him, while aiming his crossbow at the other's head, "Die-"

However, Milo didn't fire the bolts, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe his eyes—

It was Erin who was pressed to the ground by him!
