Chapter 372: Facing Fear (Part I)
"Hugh! Let me out! Elusa kept banging on the invisible wall in front of her, shouting to the outside world.
"Sister... I'm not going to let anyone hurt you! Hugh muttered to himself as he climbed the stairs in front of him like crazy.
"Hugh!" Elusa screamed helplessly.
Originally, everyone gathered together, and the result was fine, Gerald said that after the game began, Hugh made a decisive move, sealed Elusa in the cards, and shouted that he was going to defeat Gerald alone, while rushing towards the upper floor like crazy.
"Hugh! Let me out! β
Hugh leaped forward, wanting to tell his sister that he wanted to protect her! Just like she did before she protected herself!
But... He was deeply shocked by the sight in front of him.
"In the end... What happened! Hugh muttered to himself.
"What's wrong?" Elusa looked at Hugh's shocked expression and asked in a deep voice.
Hugh gritted his teeth and slowly flipped the cards in his hand, allowing Elusa to see what was in front of him.
The large space seemed to have been swept away by a storm, and the torii gates, which had been lined up, fell to the ground at will.
The cherry blossom tree, which was supposed to be quite beautiful, turned out to be a bare old tree at this time.
All the cherry blossoms fell to the ground and formed a thick pile.
"It's... Lu Xiu..."Elusa was surprised for a moment, and couldn't help muttering to herself.
In her impression, only Lu Xiu could cause such a terrifying scene.
"There's someone there." Suddenly, she saw a turtledove lying to the ground.
Hugh could not see which direction she was pointing, though he pointed forward.
After looking around for a while, I saw the turtledove and was shocked.
"That's it! The captain of the Skull and Bones Society's Three Crowfeathers! Hugh exclaimed in horror.
Skull and Bones Club? Are they the three elites that GΓ©rald is talking about...
The turtledove seemed to sense another person coming towards her, and turned her head weakly.
After looking at Hugh for a while, his eyes were focused on the card in his hand.
"The Queen of the Fairies... It's a pity..."The turtledove coughed weakly and muttered to himself.
"What a pity?" Hugh slowly approached the turtledove's side, and Elusa asked, frowning.
"It's a pity that I can't peel off your bulky armor with my own hands..."Ikaruga looked at Elusa in the cards, shook his head, slowly pointed to the stairs not far away, and said weakly, "Go, Lord Gerald is waiting for you." β
Hugh frowned slightly, and there was some hesitation in his heart.
This person is obviously an enemy, even if he is powerless to stop it, he shouldn't be kind enough to say these things, right?
"Go ahead, you're running out of time." The turtledove smiled miserably and slowly stretched out his hand towards the sky.
"The light of justice... Falling from heaven, all evil is destroyed... My life... Finally..."
The light of justice? Elusa frowned, suddenly stunned, and exclaimed, "Hugh! Get me out of here! Hurry up! Don't hurry up and hit Gerald! The magic spirit power will fall! β
Hugh frowned and shook his head stubbornly.
"Sister, don't worry, you won't be in any danger in this space." As he spoke, he buried his head and rushed towards the stairs.
"Hugh!" The cards containing Elusa slowly fell from the sky.
Hugh actually left Elusa here!
Turtledove looked at Hugh's back and couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, she really didn't understand this kind of operation.
Is this boy too arrogant? Or is it a broken brain?
Just such a small card space that can block all attacks? I can slash with a single knife, can I?
"Hey! Can you find a way to let me out! Hugh couldn't have beaten Gerald! Only by defeating Gerald's magic wizard spirit power will it not fall! We can live! Elusa hurriedly shouted at the turtledove.
"Heh... Fairy Queen, please clarify the situation, we are in a hostile relationship now, aren't we? Turtledove sneered and said slowly.
Elusa frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid that the magic elf power will fall and turn into ashes?" β
"Dead? What's so scary about that? Turtledove seemed to open the conversation, and the words gradually became more, "As a member of the Assassination Guild, I have always been determined to complete every task with the determination of death, and every time I complete anything, a trace of happiness rises in my heart, glad that I did not die, but with the increase in the number of tasks completed, I began to gradually feel a little bored with that kind of happiness, fairy queen, can you understand that feeling?" Do you understand how it feels to die in the middle of every mission? β
"What a joke! Life is a precious treasure! How can you think of it as a pebble on the side of the road! Feel free to discard it! You do! It's too disrespectful to life! Not long ago, Lu Xiu was still teaching her that as a member of the demon tail, she must definitely cherish any life, whether it is your own or someone else's.
"Treasures? You even say that the curse is a treasure? Turtledove laughed as she listened to Elusa's words.
"What are you laughing at!"
"O life... It's so cheap for us shadows lurking in the shadows..."Ikaruga slowly stretched out his hands, and then the sunset outside shone on it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile.
The remnant sun is like blood, and the hands are like jade.
But when the two were stacked together, it seemed to stain the hands with blood.
Bright red anomaly.
"I don't know how many people's blood my hands have been stained with, I guess I can't count them." The turtledove sighed slightly, "Life is precious? The moment I swung the knife, I just felt that life was so cheap. β
As long as he waved his hand, a fresh life slowly dissipated in front of his eyes.
So what's so valuable?
Elusa gritted her teeth and asked, "Don't you have any dreams?" At least I worked hard for it while I was alive! What your heart wants most! Love! Affection! Don't you desire anything? β
"Dreams?" The turtledove was slightly stunned, as if caught in the whirlpool of memories.
Who doesn't have a dream? As long as you have your own heart, you will have a vision in your heart.
People have always had a yearning for beautiful things, and the longing in their hearts is the driving force for people to take action.
It's just that... Dreams will be melted away by reality... Dreams can even turn into despair, most people have never been smooth sailing, and there are many people who fall on the road of dreams.
With the torment of reality, dreams... It's been synonymous with bubbles for a long time...
"Elusa, what are your dreams?" Turtledove asked slowly.
