readx;? Joseph sat on a stone bench in the garden, and the whispers of the noble ladies of yesterday still lingered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoJoseph went through the tunnel under the bushes again, the rainy weather no longer allowed the sun to shine, and the cold air from the vegetation made him not only exhale into his hands. The wind still smells of flowers, but it smells of mockery. The flowers were blessed with a cool and cloudy taste, and Joseph had to fumble his way under the damp and icy bushes.

Joseph couldn't remember the route to her secret palace, "Erin......" his voice was so small that he wasn't sure if he had opened it. Joseph found the palace where they had stayed yesterday, and the bushes still squeezed the little corner into shape, but Irene still hadn't shown up.

This is her palace, so she certainly won't stay here forever, Joseph thought. I might be able to grace this palace and create a shortcut to get here. It is covered with shelves and creepers, and the roadside is covered with roses. No, you have to change the flowers of the season every season, so that all four levels can feast your eyes here. The new path must not be as narrow and damp as it used to be, he pondered.

Joseph followed in the footsteps of yesterday and walked to the edge of the pond. The surface of the water reflects everything like a mirror, and no ripple can break this perfect mirror at this moment, and you can't imagine that this is the edge of the pool.

"It's been a long time since I've come to see you, old friend. ”

Joseph liked to speak into the shadows in the lake, and he spoke in two different voices, which made him feel more real. Joseph was once obsessed with the world in the mirror, believing that there was a world in which it was completely reversed from reality, and every time you looked in the mirror, people from the other world also looked at you. It's just that when we touch the mirror, his hand reaches out to block you.

Thinking of another self in the mirror who was snubbed and reduced to a monster, Joseph felt less lonely. Talking to the mirror, because the person in the mirror has the same problem that makes him vomit, sometimes he spends a lot of time on the edge of the pond. Together, they would complain about the dullness of court etiquette, the complexity of family histories and coats of arms, and wonder why the Pendragon family was lions and not dragons. The other worldly self accompanied Joseph through sad moments, and even made him feel a little sorry for not visiting for so long.

"You should come here more often. Joseph said in a deep voice to the pool, "How nice it is here, you won't disturb the others here, and they know where to find you." You want to be found, don't you? It hurts to let someone down, even if she just can't find you, it's a kind of disappointment. ”

"It's not. Joseph put down a deep voice that he couldn't imitate and said, "The premise of disappointment is that I made a promise and didn't do it, not a thing like losing a trace." ”

"You did make a commitment that you would come here every day. If you're not there, the people who come to you will think you're a no-show. ”

"That's a lot of ......," Joseph laughed.

"Is it more eloquent than yesterday's girl?" said Shadow.

"Exactly the same strong words. Joseph said, his face darkening, "Do you think Erin will come back?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Because ......"

"You already know the answer, didn't you hear what came out of that woman's mouth yesterday?" Shadow snapped, "She said you were the Child of the Damned, the Demon. The girl will never come back, just like the son of the groom, the son of the subordinate. ”

"Don't say that......," said Joseph, "she's just going to get down to business, and even if Erin's mother doesn't want her to see me, Irene won't come back to her palace." ”

"Do you really think so?" said the shadow, "do you remember the name of your little brute of grooms?"

"His name is Johnson, and you can't call him a brute!" said Joseph.

"I don't take your advice, he's a brute, whatever his name is. He has a name that makes me know what kind of brute he is, that's all. God testifies to you and me, and He did say that day, John, I have met the legendary demon, and he has no fangs or horns. The shadow said, "You should have heard it too, although he was private and quiet, but the sound could always reach your ears." That's right, you can hear it clearly on the battlements. ”

"That's my delusion," said Joseph, "I have never heard him say, and if he hadn't been admonished by his father, Eisen would have ......."

"Heavens, listen to your words, do you believe it yourself?" said the shadow, "I don't believe a damn word." We can get them back and get revenge on them, and every Johnson, Erin, alive or dead, can do what you want. ”

"Don't say that, and watch out for your manners. ”

"My manners don't add up to any of their rudeness. The shadow said, "Those knights have sworn all day long that they will serve you, as you wish." Now your wish is to get back those bullshit bitches, as well as their dogs. Use up all the torture instruments in the castle, and let their lowly lives practice the hands of those jailers. ”

"I'll tell you to stop talking!"

"They slander you as a devil, so go for it. Be a demon to fear, not a demon to fear!"

The shadow was so clear at this moment that even the tiniest of its expressions could be seen. The smile on its face was a hateful laugh, and the corners of its mouth were pulled to its cheekbones by the ecstasy that broke through its thinking, unnatural and abnormal. As if he had finally put an end to the most secret, dark, and unsightly long-cherished wish in his heart, he smiled and despised the world and all those who believed in normality. The desire that no one has ever dared to put on the table is a great thrill.

For a moment, Joseph realized that this was not the smile he would put on his face. I've been imitating a mirror image of myself all along, and today I'm doing something different. It's the hidden curse, which erupts at the most critical time, as mysterious and terrifying. If he hadn't looked away, he would have faced the cursed demon Claudius himself.

Joseph put his hand into the water and stirred it, trying to chase away the terrifying shadow, but to no avail. The surface of the water is like a pot of glass, and there are no ripples. The feeble hand is just crying out to reality: get out of me quickly, curse the demon.

Shadow grabbed the hand that reached into his world and tilted his twisted smile, "I'm not Claudie, I'm just a nobody who likes to joke...... Your birthmark - a joke, your legend - a joke, your life - a joke. ”

"What do you want to do...... Joseph struggled to pull his hand out of the mirror, tears inexplicably flowing from his eyes, constantly washing his cheeks. He was not afraid of demons or death, but he could not accept that his life was a joke. Thinking that one's life is just to please others, such a lowly and meaningless thing, anyone will collapse.

"Don't be so negative, come on. The shadow pulled Joseph closer to the mirror, leaving him only half of his body on the shore of the pond, "We don't want to make things easy, do we? The shadow nodded, pondering the wording, who knows if it was another demon's joke, "I'll curse you, and then make you forget my curse." When the curse is fulfilled on that day, you will remember it word for word. The demon laughed again, "Hahaha, isn't it interesting!" Joseph's tears dripped into the mirror, turning into inky black and spreading in the mirror. Astonished so completely that no noise could be made, and the demon continued: "Now we have begun: you are the star of misfortune in Midangele, and families will fall with you, cities will burn with you, and nations will fall with you. It's like sludge in milk, they curse it, it's like a rat in a soup pot, they curse it, it's like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered, they cut off your head. ”

With that, the demon took him out of the water. Originally, there would never be a ripple on the surface of the water, but now the waves are constant. Whirlpools and undercurrents brewed in a small pond.

"Joseph!" Elizabeth ran frantically towards the pond, she had never run so fast in her life.

Mom is here, Mom is not going......
