Chapter 276: Long time no see
The girl's pale face was embedded with a pair of deep eye sockets, and the two eyeballs were actually translucent, radiating a fierce gaze like a beast.
The hair was covered with a black hood, and the forehead was covered with deep wrinkles. The nose is almost hooked, and the cheeks are so thin that only a single piece of skin remains, like a skeleton.
The lips were also full of wrinkles, cracked into many cracks, and slowly opened, as if they were about to devour the man in front of them.
"W-What's going on?!" The man rubbed his eyes and wanted to retreat, but suddenly felt a cold touch on his ankles.
A pair of withered hands with distinct bones seemed to come from hell, cut through the dirt, firmly grasped him, and dragged him into the endless abyss.
"Don't you love me? Want to be with me forever? The skeleton approached the man, its shriveled mouth opening and closing, revealing the fangs of Bai Sensen inside.
"Please... Please spare meβ" The man pleaded, teeth chattering.
"It turns out that your love is nothing more than that." A white cat appeared on the skeleton's shoulder, its amber eyes sparkling.
The mud feet sank deep, and the man was left with only two arms struggling in the air, "Help me!" He cried out loudly, his voice gradually drowned out, "I promise to repent of what I have done..."
At this moment, a low sneer suddenly sounded in the distance, and the laughter was soft and cool, with infinite mockery. The crisp chimes of laughter and bells wrapped in the wind are getting closer.
The quagmire beneath his feet was gone, the withered hands dragging his body were gone, and when everything in this illusion was easily destroyed by the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest, the man had collapsed in place with his eyes glazed.
The road flashed with the dazzling red light of the police lights, and the sirens sounded, and he could not escape.
The summer night wind drifts slowly, and Star Swirl suddenly breaks out in a cold sweat with the cold smell of pig iron in the wind.
"It's been a long time, but it looks like you're doing well." The visitor stared at Star Swirl until he saw her hairy all over, and laughed again, "Why, you don't know me?" β
Not long ago, Star Swirl was speculating about whether the man had disappeared so completely, and if he was hiding in the shadows to hatch a bigger conspiracy, he hadn't met again so soon.
Star Swirl took a step back, catching a glimpse of someone on the brightly lit road heading for it, and felt a little more reassured. He pursed his lips and asked, "Clotho... Are you here to take him with you? β
Of course, she hoped that Clotho was here for the beast in front of her, but unfortunately it was against her wishes.
"Of course not," Clotho smiled and shook his head, looking at Star Swirl with calm and pitying, "What if I said that you were the one I wanted to take away?" β
Looking at the man in front of him, Star Swirl's heart felt cold, if he held a grudge last time because of Mr. X's game, then this was a good time to attack her.
"What if I don't want to go with you?" Star Swirl continued to take a step back, clutching the short knife he had snatched from Officer Chen.
With a cold snort, the cold light flew in front of her eyes, and the blade in Star Swirl's hand suddenly came out of her hand and landed straight into the trunk of the tree at her side.
"It's a warning." He whispered, one hand hiding his face and smiling.
"Star Swirl! Are you okay? A shout came from behind them, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Teacher Bai!" She turned her head and saw a familiar face, and the fear in her heart was dispelled a little, and she spread her legs and ran towards Bai Xiaohan.
"Who were you talking to?" Bai Xiaohan looked around, except for Officer Chen, who was huddled in the corner, his eyes were blank, and his mouth was still chattering, and Zhang Miaomiao, who fell to the ground and was unconscious, there was no one else.
Star Swirl jerked back, the erratic figure had indeed vanished without a trace, "Strange, it was here just now..."
"Who? Who are you talking about? Bai Xiaohan's suspicious gaze swept over the surrounding trees.
---
"Clotho, he said he wanted to take me away."
When the words fell, the three people in the room had different expressions. Star Swirl looks at Mr. X and sees that his face has sunk, his eyes flickering with displeasure.
"This guy wants to pick up soft persimmons to pinch." Lu Jingfan shook his head at Star Swirl and sighed repeatedly, but there was a nonchalan look on his face.
Bai Xiaohan comforted: "Don't take it too seriously, Clotho has always liked to threaten people with cruel words, he has just suffered a loss, I guess it will be restrained for a while." While saying this, the corner of his eye unconsciously glanced at Mr. X.
Star Swirl hadn't made much of a splash, and had become fearless since learning what "connection" meant.
"Stay by my side these days." He spoke in a deep voice, in a firm tone, unquestionable.
Lu Jingfan and Bai Xiaohan frowned at the same time, "Calm down, haven't we always been soldiers who come to block the water and cover the earth, why panic?" Lu Jingfan crossed his arms and didn't care.
"You have not been taught his deceitfulness."
As soon as the words came out, Bai Xiaohan's expression was gloomy, perhaps because of Bai Yilin's matter.
Star Swirl tugged at his sleeve and said deftly, "Don't worry, I'll never leave you." β
"Nothing else, I'll go back first." Bai Xiaohan smiled faintly and got up, and from that smile, Star Swirl understood a little bit of the sorrow and sadness that was well stored.
Mr. X nodded slightly, and Lu Jingfan on the side also left, glancing at Star Swirl before going out, but finally didn't say anything more.
"Why don't you wash up yet?" Mr. X raised his eyes to look at her, with a little disgust in the corners of his eyes.
Remembering that she had just rolled through the dirt outside, Star Swirl stuck out her tongue and rolled into the bathroom, not seeing the chill that suddenly rose in the eyes of the man behind her.
Coming out of the bathroom refreshed, Star Swirl naturally walked towards the pink princess's room, only to be stopped by a voice.
"Come here." A deep, magnetic voice.
Star Swirl secretly complained, knowing that she shouldn't have agreed so happily, and complained in her heart, but she still responded, "It's coming." β
The man on the bed was lying on his side, one hand patting the empty seat beside him, and his gaze fell on Star Swirl's face.
"Actually... There's no need to be so closeβ" Star Swirl stood in the doorway with a struggling face, staring into the man's eyes and swallowing at the silhouette of her long eyelashes.
"What are you doing standing so far away? Come here. β
Listening to his voice, it was as if he was enchanted, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of him, and the towel he was holding in his hand was also taken away by him.
Her vision was suddenly obscured, and her large, warm hands wiped a towel over Star Swirl's wet hair, and she couldn't remember the last time they had spent so affectionately together.
"Don't take that guy lightly," the man said in a deep voice, "he confuses dreams with reality, so you have to stay with me even at night." β
"Got it..."Star Swirl blushed slightly, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, and whispered in agreement.
