Chapter 7 Flowers That Won't Bloom

In the season we walked, the flowers blooming on the roadside are also constantly changing, what are the flowers that bloom in that season?

Swaying gently, it will sting slightly when touched, and when you smell it closely, there is a faint smell of green sunshine. The breath faded away, and we grew up.

But that flower must still be blooming somewhere...... Yes, we will always continue to fulfill the wish of that flower.

Carroll loved this quote from Unheard of Flower Names.

At that time, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she just liked it......

Now she can't help but think-

The flowers are always there, but how do they bear fruit?

Childhood memories are like a young flower that can't bloom, forever sealed on Christmas night ten years ago.

She was growing up, but the flower was still tightly closed. Just like her broken heart, even if it heals over time, it still leaves scars. The flower has always remained in her memory.

The parents were mysteriously killed, and the police were unable to find the murderer, and finally many years passed and became an unsolved case.

This is Carol Lee, who has been hailed as the greatest detective of the century and the heir of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes couldn't untie the knot. It is like a flower that takes root and sprouts in her heart, but does not blossom and bear fruit.

To this day, she never imagined that the murderer of her parents would meet her again.

"Huh?" The butcher thought Carroll's reaction was strange, "I don't remember dealing with you, Ms. Carroll. ”

"Ten years ago, on December 25, on London Street, you killed a couple of parents who were preparing Christmas presents for their children, do you remember?"

The butcher seemed to recall it seriously, and finally suddenly realized, "Ahhh~ I remembered, do they have anything to do with you?" Oh! I see, they are your real parents! ”

"Are they your assassination target?"

"No, no, how is that possible." As a result, the butcher's answer surprised Carol, "I was at that time...... Young and frivolous, after all, it is my first time on a mission, and it is inevitable that I will make a mistake and use them as assassination targets~ Please forgive me. ”

The words under the mask must have meant nothing to apologize, and the guy even started to laugh disgustingly.

Mistaken person?

Just because he recognized the wrong person, his family was shattered in an instant. Just because this damn guy recognized the wrong person?!

Carroll's face composed, and the hand holding the weapon began to tremble.

"You still have to thank me, don't you?" The butcher grabbed his hair, and his disapproving look really made people want to go up and beat him violently. "The unknown murderer made Batman, and I made you, the most brilliant detective of the century! At the same time, I'm going to let the genius fall tonight. ”

"Heh......" Carol sneered, and without waiting for the two of them to act, he swung his sword and stabbed at the butcher.

Boom!

There was no doubt that the butcher easily blocked her attack with his sword, while the hidden weapon hidden in his left hand swept through Carol's hair.

Of course, this was not the Butcher's mercy, but the use of the flash time calculus that was not affected by the enchantment to avoid his sneak attack.

"If you can do it all over again...... Carol's attacks didn't stop, and she still had the upper hand with her superb swordsmanship, "This title, don't do it." ”

She has always lived in the eyes of others praising and worshipping, but how many people know what she really wants? The world had placed too much hope on her, which was simply too much for a child who had just turned eighteen.

What Sherlock Holmes, what great detective......

I just want a complete home!

“…… Don't we need to help? Mothea asked.

"If the space is too narrow, a lot of people is not necessarily beneficial." Florence looked at the fighting figure in a complicated way, "But Carol's current state is worrying......"

The cold light and sword shadow, sparks are everywhere.

Whether it is the butcher's strange knife skills or Carol's swordsmanship, it is difficult to distinguish for a while.

It seems that Carol's mood was affected by the butcher's words, but this did not affect her excellent judgment in battle. No matter how tricky, ghostly, and unexpected the butcher's attacks are, she can see them.

"Very good~Very good...... "The smile under the mask is even more crazy, "That's the point of defeating." ”

There was a wild laugh, and the figure staggered.

In sight, the butcher's figure became nothing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of bullets breaking through the wind swept through the girl's ears, and with the help of the "flash time calculus", Carol easily dodged the butcher's sneak attack with his spear hiding skills.

However, at this moment, the butcher unexpectedly stopped attacking.

"You ......" Carroll's eyes flashed blue as she realized something.

"Well, if you hadn't dodged the bullet just now, maybe I wouldn't have been able to use this trick." On the butcher's demonic left hand is a heart.

The heart of virtualization.

"Delusional heartbeats?" (Hassan's treasures of the FATE series.) Of course, the assassination technique used by the butcher here is not the same as the delusional heart. )

"You can understand it this way, but I personally think it's more like the "big snake digging out the heart" in The King of Fighters." The butcher began to explain leisurely, "You guy's flash time calculation is troublesome, so you have to play a little trick to succeed." ”

"Hmph...... I really didn't expect you to be unaffected by enchantments. Carol kept a breezy smile even in this situation.

"Are these your last words?"

"Since you've said something like 'the serpent digging out the heart,' I won't die...... Burst! ”

"I hate smart people." Before she could finish speaking, the butcher very decisively pinched the mimic heart.

Carol spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell to the ground, as if his strength had been drained.

"You won't die, but you, who have lost your combat effectiveness, are just lambs to the slaughter." The butcher smiled coldly and turned his gaze to the remaining two. "I'm in a hurry, please cooperate."

"Do you think you can beat me, human?" Mothea tilted her head, her eyes glowing a strong red. She has always been kind to everyone.

This situation is actually rare, but it just so happens that the people she met when she appeared were related to Lin Tianxiang. So he always puts on a cynical attitude and plays with the world like a god to entertain himself. (Commonly known as belly black shake S.) )

When it comes to her enemies, she is the cold-blooded and ruthless vampire queen. (…… It seems to be too? )

Despite his much weaker strength, Moxia did not believe that he could defeat him with his current strength.

"I really don't have the confidence to deal with you myself." As he spoke, the butcher took out a disposable magic scroll from his pocket, "So my client gave me this." ”

Mothea's expression changed slightly, apparently recognizing some kind of magic attached to it.

- The moment the magic is released, the whole room is illuminated extraordinarily.

Then, the scroll turned to ashes, and a tiny sun was summoned and slowly rose to the top of the ceiling, pulling the shadows of the three of them to the elder.

Why do you say three?

A second before the magic was cast, Mothea ducked into Florence's shadow......

I was sealed with the blood of the sun and my strength fell to the shadow level, even if it was an artificial magic sun, it was estimated that it would be wiped out in an instant.

"Then," the butcher must have expected this, and he looked at the last survivor with his sword, "and after you are dealt with, the Queen will have nowhere to run." ”
