And Mao clearly heard these words in his heart, and C.C. watched him beat the driver to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 🔥 That's for sure. Because these are the true words of the driver's heart. In the midst of the chaos, C.C. finally rushed over when the driver began to violently attack Mao in turn. Although they eventually knocked the driver to the ground, Mao's inner wounds could never heal.

"I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear that, c.c......." However, under this extremely bad opportunity, Mao's geass power has become even stronger.

This is what she had told the current contractor, Lelouch - if the power of geass is used excessively, it will gradually devour the user in contrast to its powerful effects. And the user will eventually lose the ability to flexibly control and switch it at some point. For example, Lelouch can command others to do what he wants, and once he is repulsed by Geass, all his words will become "commands" to others. And for Mao, who can perceive people's hearts, as long as someone is around him, he will hear their hearts. Even if he doesn't want to hear it, the evil or vile thoughts of man's heart will still get into his ears.

In addition, the range of effects of Geass will also be expanded. From the beginning of the distance of forty meters to be able to read the hearts of others, it has expanded to three hundred meters by then.

"It's noisy! It's noisy! Shut up! Shut up! And the only person who can't hear Mao's heart is C.C. But this means that she also has a heart that she wants to hide from him.

"Help me, C.C........" C.C. heard his cries. She took Mao away from the crowd and started the life of two people. It's a world where there's no one around to bother.

However,

In retrospect, it may have been a bad decision.

The lives of Mao and C.C. lasted for quite some time.

In the mountains, a mountain hut surrounded by greenery. There was no electricity, running water, and no visitors. But such an environment is the most ideal space for Mao. There is no one around who is noisy in their heads, and there are no dirty thoughts around.

Life is basically self-sufficient. Water is drawn from the river, firewood is harvested and stored as fuel, and the mountains are developed into farmland for farming. Because Mao was just a child who was not yet ten years old, almost everything was done by C.C. Although C.C. doesn't look like a good job, she does most of the work better than the average person. Although C.C. now lives in Lelouch's room and eats, sleeps, and eats every day (or rather, that's how Lelouch thinks of her), it's just because she doesn't have to worry about life now. She also doesn't complain about doing something hands-on if she had to.

And the life of man is simple and plain.

Maybe it's because there is no one around him to let him read his heart, and Mao, who used to be grumpy, has become much more docile. During the day, he helps C.C. with farm work or goes fishing in the mountains, and at night he sits on the ground and listens to her stories. He loves to listen to fairy tales, so C.C. always tells them to him at his bedside. In the process of telling the story, Mao's eyelids will always become heavier and heavier, and finally he will fall asleep quietly. It was perhaps the most peaceful time in the world. It turns out that there is such a warm space in the world.

On the other hand, C.C. still maintains a certain connection with the outside world in the process of living a peaceful life with Mao. For example, food, spices and other daily necessities that are not available in the mountains are all purchased by going to the town at the foot of the mountain. Sometimes, she would also sell the precious herbs and leftover crops she had picked in the mountains. Of course, C.C. could have completely isolated Mao from the outside world by doing so, but she didn't. Sometimes she sees an opportunity to take Mao out of the mountains. Although Mao was reluctant, she would always tell him that it was necessary.

Yes, it is necessary.

Can't forget.

Just like the relationship between C.C. and the current contractor, Lelouch, C.C.'s relationship with Mao is nothing more than a contractual relationship. Even Geass was given to him by C.C. at Mao's expectations. The boy who sat on the street corner trembling all over his body wanted to have the strength to keep him alive. Thus the contract was born, however, once he was given power, it could no longer be taken back.

――Make a wish come true for me.

If this promise cannot be fulfilled, no matter how strong the person is, he is only an unqualified contractor. So, C.C. is looking forward to Mao's changes. She understands that such a Mao cannot fulfill the contract. In order for him to change, he can't be kept in a stable environment all the time. A tepid life can't change a person. Of course, it is precisely because C.C. understands this that he will give him some stimulation from time to time.

Whenever he was brought into the crowd, Mao would always become silent.

Mao's geass is to perceive the hearts of others. Even if he covers his ears, he can still hear the thoughts in the hearts of those around him. Even if C.C. thinks it's a normal scene, for Mao, it's no different from a whirlpool of noise. He held C.C.'s hand tightly and forcibly suppressed his emotions and tightened his face. He kept begging C.C. to say something to him. There is no doubt that he wanted to disturb the "noise" of the surrounding hustle and bustle by listening to the voice of the c.c.

In this way, the contact time with the outside world ended, and the two finally returned to the hut in the mountains. At this time, Mao became cheerful, and played with C.C. while talking about something. Until very late, he did not ask C.C. to tell him fairy tales.

Days like this went on for a while. One day, something happened.

"Mao, what's that? Where did you pick it up? C.C. noticed that Mao, who was fertilizing the field, was wearing a watch on his wrist. This is naturally not something that can be found in the mountains. And C.C. doesn't remember buying it for him. On closer inspection, she saw that the watch seemed to be broken, and the hands were motionless.

"From the last time I went down the hill to town." Mao replied with a smile.

"In town?"

"Hmm. Didn't you pass a river when you came back, and this thing fell on the riverbank? ”

"Hmm~" Although it felt a little strange, C.C. didn't pursue it. After all, Mao is still just a child, and it is understandable that he likes to collect some shiny things.

Two days later, C.C. went down the mountain with Mao. She drove to the market with the wild vegetables she had picked in a car. Then she found that the man who usually set up a stall to sell salt to herself was gone.

"Ah, that uncle......" In desperation, she had to go to another store, where the owner whispered to C.C. with a solemn expression.

"He died, just a few days ago."

"What did you say?"

"Do you really not know anything? But I don't know in detail, it seems that because of the debt, he killed the creditor in a fit of anger and committed suicide, and the whole family ...... "Although he claimed not to know, the man still recounted the matter in detail.

"I've heard that he works to pay it back—"

"Don't you know that very well. yes, I've heard him say this for a long time. He himself said it with ease. ”

"......" I don't know why, I have a bad feeling. There is no reason, just pure intuition. So, C.C. asked the shopkeeper, "You said the creditor was dead, how did he die?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was getting more and more ugly, and it seemed that he didn't want to answer the question. Fortunately, however, he replied, "The creditor's wife found his body at home, saying that he had been stabbed to death." This must have been done by the uncle. ”

"And what about the uncle?"

"I heard that the body was found floating in the river." C.C. was taken aback and looked back sharply. Behind him was a young man with the same expressionless face as usual, wearing a broken watch he had picked up from the river. But when I looked at the watch closely, I always felt like I had seen it somewhere. The man who always waved his arms high in the stall, and he wore on his hand-

"Mao ......" just wanted to shout like this, but C.C. chose to keep his mouth shut. Generally speaking, this kind of thing doesn't need to be bothered at all. A man died in the river, and the watch on his hand was washed away by the water after being damaged, allowing a teenager to pick it up. It's not wrong to say that this is stealing, but the child's behavior is beyond reproach. After all, he didn't pick it up from the man's hand, but on the riverbank...... If he hadn't lied.

“……”

"Hey~ That's all for the irrelevant topic, let's talk about business. How much are you going to buy today? The shopkeeper's greeting was in his ears, but C.C. was still staring at Mao's face.

However,

This is just the beginning of everything.

After that, Mao plunged the entire town into a "dead silence".

………

"What are you thinking?" Looking at the silent C.C., Lin Yiyan asked curiously and puzzled.

"It's just remembering something from the past!" C.C. hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Yiyan and replied.

"Hmm~!" Lin Yiyan looked at C.C. and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to C.C. and said, "I have a place, C.C., do you want to come?" ”

C.C. blinked suspiciously, but she didn't hesitate and took Lin Yiyan's outstretched hand. After Lin Yiyan and C.C. shook hands, Lin Yiyan's heart moved, and then he disappeared into the room with C.C. and C.C.

C.C. only felt light, and then appeared in a completely different world......

Looking at the completely unfamiliar environment around him, as well as his body floating in the air, C.C. looked at Lin Yiyan and the surrounding environment suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Here... What is it... Place? (To be continued.) )
