Section A: Chapter 13: The Stalker (Anusen)
Bypassing the oil lamps on the side of the street, Anusen hid her form in the night.
After turning another corner in the street, Anussin bypassed a bakery and took a shortcut home.
He secretly left in the middle of the night to see the bachelor without telling his daughter, and his mood was still very complicated—he was not sure if he was doing it well or not. But he was sure that that would be detrimental to many things.
Such as...... Turning his head suddenly, a figure seemed to retract into the corner of the wall for a moment.
How long has he been following? Maybe from the moment he stepped out of the house.
Sighing secretly, Anusen knew that she had the right idea - no matter how careful you were, you would still be followed.
He knew that the other party had realized that he was alert, so he decided to pretend that he didn't see him and move on.
Who was stalking? He racked his brains to think -- in short, it had nothing to do with the mad dog. I don't know why, he came to warn me.
But I'm afraid it's still being instigated...... Anusen thought to himself what Mad Dog had said in a slightly mocking tone: "Then apparently Mad Dog is not. ”
He doesn't trust the character of Mad Dog. In this matter, the Mad Dog may be an important pawn, used to guide Anusen into the set up. But this is unlikely...... Anusen frowned. What is willing to make him believe these things is the name that comes out of the mouth of the mad dog.
Ghuren - the father of the Holy Maiden...... It's also his father-like existence. Before she died, the saint infused the amulet left by Grunn with overflowing angelic energy. Annu, who wears it every day, has decided not to use it anymore - he believes it will be a crucial "key".
He had a hunch for twenty years...... He knew it was going to happen.
He entered the holy land of Raya with the Holy Maiden, and the vision of the pool of prophecy announced everything.
The son of the angel with white wings slowly rose up under the light of heaven.
However, the scene in the pool then became blurred, and the body of the Angel's Son was gradually enveloped in a mist of blood, which eventually melted and vanished......
The future is predictable, but the goddess of fate presents us with only one possibility...... The words of Priest Carré resounded in my heart: what really determines the future is what the relevant people mentioned in the prophecy do.
The more successful the prophecy, the easier it is for the effects shown in it to come true. They indicate the deepest imprint in the wheel of fate - many causal relationships develop to the end, and the fine traces of fate will be directed to this main trace. Under the influence of the Carré priest, Anusen did not believe in pure fatalism.
Thinking of the Holy Maiden, a sad feeling took over his soul - it was difficult for him to explain his feelings for the Holy Maiden. But he knew that he had always loved the saint. An incredibly complex love.
The saints of the Celestial Wing Cult cannot have sex with men, she has to keep her body pure - the moment she becomes a saint, Anusen realizes that she has no chance to take the final step with her. He no longer has the ability to find out his feelings, but he still maintains the relationship between his sister and brother.
Although he thought in his heart that he had adapted to all this, after the Holy Maiden was conceived, Anusen could not accept it for a long time.
However, after the death of the Holy Maiden, it took a few years for Anusen to become the kind of person who would be diluted by time and all his sorrows...... He put aside the other faces that he was about to recall, which had long since been blurred, and left only the face of the saint with great clarity: he had no sorrow and often recalled some of the past events about the saint. Remembering this kind of thing, it always glorifies itself, and when you recall someone, everything you spent with her back then seems so beautiful.
He did not forget the saint, nor did he think he should. After leaving behind the burden of memories, only the beautiful crystals of time remain.
Moreover, Elia, who looked exactly like the Holy Maiden, also made him feel extremely relieved - although he felt distressed and blamed himself for seeing Elia's many disabilities: if he had rushed back to the Holy Church earlier, and now that the Holy Maiden could live with him, Ellia might not have been disabled because she had not been forcibly dissected...... The most important thing is that the child will not be left without a mother.
Although it will lose a father...... He thought bitterly, "But that's better than now." El Lea needs her mom...... The maternal love she longed for was something she couldn't give anyway.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about the things that would make him uneasy—the past couldn't be changed, and there weren't so many "ifs" to speak of. Unable to stand still, Anusen, who had stopped his neck, looked up at the dim sky. He tightened his coat and felt the crystal in his pocket to make sure it was still there before taking another step.
Tonight is the Blue Moon, the most moonlight in Tomeca, an area where only two moons can usually be seen. And they tend to appear in turn: the blue moon and the white moon. (In a general sense, the Black Moon refers to the extremely dark degree of the moon's darkness and low visibility.) There are even black moon nights where the earth is shrouded in black light that can absorb artificial light sources. Some scholars believe that both the Black Moon and the Blood Moon are ominous signs. In fact, the appearance of a dark moon on a night with low visibility is very conducive to doing something unseemly. This is especially true in the city of Tomeca, which is so badly safe. )
It is said that Eloa is one of the few places where you can see the four moons: the blue moon, the white moon, the purple moon, and the red moon. Moreover, Geos also suggested that there were at least two moons that could be seen at the same time every night.
He imagined the spectacular scenery in April, and he couldn't help but lament for his daughter: since her daughter could write and communicate with herself, she asked more than once without Luo Luo's company: What is Dad's favorite starry sky?
He couldn't even describe the moon to her, let alone the difference between a full moon, a waning moon, a lunar eclipse, and so on.
I've always been bad at words...... Anusen always felt sad when she remembered her daughter: her storytelling skills were far inferior to Lolo's.
The stalker is still ...... He could feel the breath: more than one person was following me. Maybe from some point on, a new stalker joins.
I couldn't tell how far away they were, but I was sure that I couldn't get rid of them. Therefore, he no longer hid and walked quickly.
He was confident that his daughter would be okay - Lolo was definitely a good protector, much better than me in some ways.
In a few moments, he was greeted by the iconic tree outside his backyard - a few days ago, for some reason, a mad dog climbed into the yard for some reason to peep at his daughter. And yesterday, he repeated his old skills, climbed onto the eaves and watched himself practice his sword.
He is very good at hiding his breath and not making a sound. You can't even notice the ball of light in the spherical sight...... As soon as I thought of this, a feeling of disgust came over me - God knows how long this disgusting pervert had been staring at his daughter!
Opening the wooden door in the backyard, Anusen stepped in. And the moment he looked back outside, countless pairs of red eyes stared at him. His blood-beast-like eyes startled him, and the horror that he had forgotten for years revived as he instinctively drew his sword.
With the sound of metal grinding as the sword unsheathed, the red light gradually dimmed and retreated into the darkness.
With trembling hands, he quickly closed the door, and Anusen, who had pulled the deadbolt, was cold.
This door can't stop them...... Even a mad dog can easily smash it open.
After a moment of fear, he ran wildly towards the hall with his sword in hand.
There was only one thought in his head.
If...... It's really a blood beast......
The daughter will face an unprecedented danger - a danger that Lolo will not be able to resolve in any way.
The son of the angel melted by the blood mist, the sight in the pool of prophecy struck Anusen's heart.
