Chapter 25: Conversation

The sun hung brightly and dazzlingly over the endless blue sky, and the dazzling white light pierced in through the classroom windows like countless needles, and the lazy warmth spread with the sunlight in the classroom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With one hand on his cheek, Eric stared at the bustling students in the classroom, as if he were watching a TV series that he didn't participate in.

Eric has been in trouble since he was reborn, but an embarrassing scene like last night is unprecedented. He thinks that he has experienced a lot of things, and he can handle emergencies with his life hanging by a thread, but it is the first time that he has been caught in a girl's bed and is disheveled......

Originally, after being mentally scanned during the day yesterday and being helped by ravens, Eric specifically asked Sharon Carter, who was "impersonating" a teacher at the school, to help investigate, and found Raven's residence, hoping to ask about the day. And when he came to find it at night, he unfortunately bumped into the scene where the raven chased his soul and flew out of the window, so he naturally came to her hand when she was in a bad situation, and then that embarrassing scene appeared inexplicably.

But Raven's Aunt Alice glanced at the open window in the bedroom, and immediately put on an expression of "I understand it without explanation". Eric felt the need to grab her and explain, but he felt as if he couldn't explain it, and finally ran away in despair, and still didn't ask the question he wanted to ask.

A girl dressed in black from head to toe appeared at the door, her eyes shooting straight at her. Eric had been waiting for her, and immediately got up and walked towards her.

When Eric came out, Raven didn't say a word, turned around and walked down the hallway into the depths, followed by him. The two of them went all the way to the empty Lin ** behind the teaching building before stopping.

Raven turned around and was the first to ask, "Who are you?" ”

"As you can see, it's just a student." Eric shrugged, "If you want to ask about that armor, there's nothing I can do - because I don't know where it came from." At the moment I suspect that my father, who has not been seen for fifteen years and has been hung up, left it to me, but it is only a suspicion. This story is very troublesome to explain, and it has nothing to do with you, and more importantly, I am still confused myself, so I still forget it. ”

"And how do you know about my soul?" Raven asked, a cold glint shooting out of his eyes. At such close range, her eyes are large and beautiful, but the hostility that pervades them is also deadly and dangerous, and Eric reads in them the murderous intent that only a truly dangerous person can have.

"Intuition."

Raven frowned, clearly not convinced. Of course she wouldn't believe it, and any normal person wouldn't think it was a concrete image of such a little girl's soul when they saw that crow for the first time, right?

"You have your secrets, I have mine." Eric said, "Let's start with the topic we all care about - the girl who attacked me...... Why did she attack me? ”

"Not you, to be exact." Raven said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but her target...... I should be right. She attacked you to distract me, and she sensed a threat in you. It's my fate...... It was fate that found me. I naively thought that I might be able to escape the shackles of fate, but ......"

She clenched her fists involuntarily, and Eric noticed her slight trembling.

In fact, Eric knows Raven's background. She's the daughter of the cross-dimensional demon Lord of the Three Houses, and her father's magic power is boundless, and he often destroys an entire dimension with his might, just for fun. Raven was created by him to conquer Earth's dimension, but she fled from him in disgust with her sinful father. And as a tool for her father to help him conquer this dimension, it is what she calls "fate".

Eric sighed slightly, "Maybe you're right about that. No one can escape this thing of fate, you go around in a big circle and think you have got rid of it, only to end up running into it again around the most unexpected corner, and it's useless to run to the ends of the earth. ”

Raven lowered his head lightly and said in a low voice, "Actually...... This is a mistake. I shouldn't have come to school, I should have dropped out of school right away, got out of here, and went to a place where no one would worry about me, no one would get hurt because of me......"

"But," said Eric, again, "I never believed in fate. I can't escape what fate has set for me, but I can break it. Maybe fate has put shackles on me since I was born, but I will break free one day! Maybe everyone has a set path from the beginning, but we always have the right to choose on that path. ”

After a slight pause, he said meaningfully, "If I were you, I would choose to fight." Even if it is a terrible fate that cannot be escaped and overcome, I will not sit idly by, even if it is just to leave no regrets. ”

Raven was silent and didn't answer.

There was silence for about half a minute. A gust of wind blew through the woods, rustling the leaves.

"Speaking of which, I also investigated that girl yesterday." Eric said, pulling out his phone and clicking on a file with a photo, which showed the black girl who had attacked the two.

"Her name is Anzali, and she is also a student at this school, and she is in the same class as me." "I looked into all of her previous files and found nothing suspicious - her dad was an office worker, her mom worked in a supermarket, they were all ordinary people, and there was no record of superpowers or mutant genes in her files......"

Raven glanced at him a little strangely, "Why did you find so many things?" ”

"Because...... Some special sources of information. Eric said, his mind flashing to Mr. Sharon with a spring smile on her face and walking up to the podium in a fashionable casual attire.

Raven didn't ask any further questions, and said, "It's similar to what I thought, and nine times out of ten her abilities come from someone else...... People I know......"

"But if you want to go to her, there's no need anymore." Eric continued, "This girl had disappeared the day before yesterday. Her parents had already gone to the police station to report the crime, and there have been no clues so far. ”

"It's all because of me." Raven muttered to himself, then stopped talking, and turned abruptly to leave.

"And then? What are you going to do? Eric asked, "Are you just tied up?" ”

She paused.

"You don't understand." She said in a low voice, "He's too powerful for anyone to compete with." If it involves you...... I'm sorry. ”

"Even if you don't care, doesn't it matter what happens to the people you know, the people who have accepted you, after you disappear so irresponsibly? Even if it's you, someone is waiting for you to come home, right? ”

Raven's body trembled slightly, and his mind flashed to Aunt Alice's family, who had accepted her as a member of the family.

But in the end, she still didn't speak, and walked quickly through the forest ** and left. From a distance, the thin back looked so helpless.
