"Hey, don't you know ......"

Edmund wanted to say something, but Bradley raised his hand and signaled that he didn't have to speak.

"The vigor of young people is always enviable. With a gentle smile, he rewrote a check: "I'm willing to give twenty ......."

"I'm sorry, I'm not selling. ”

Ye Qingxuan interrupted him, causing his smile to stiffen.

In the silence, his expression collapsed little by little, and at the end, it became gloomy.

"Young man, this is not the place for you to joke. ”

He whispered, gesturing to the family coat of arms on the cufflinks, "Figure out who you're talking to." If I were you, I'd take this check before I change my mind. ”

He looked down at the silent young man, tore off the check, clamped it between his two fingers, and slowly handed it to him: "How about thinking about it again?" Even if a young man has the courage, he must consider the others around him. ”

"Uncle, they also have a little girl......"

Edmund's eyes were vicious, whispering softly in Bradley's ear.

Hearing this, Charles's expression changed, and anger appeared in his eyes. He took two steps forward, but was stopped by Ye Qingxuan.

The boy silently put away his pocket watch, straightened his neckline, and looked up at Bradley's eyes, which were cold and disdainful, as if it were a cold snow in it, and under the snow was a surging black whirlpool.

"It's really ugly, the face of a big man, he can say anything like a gift. ”

Ye Qingxuan flexed his fingers, flicked the check in front of him, and glanced at Edmund: "If something happens to Bai Xi, you will regret what you said today...... I promise. ”

Hearing this, Edmund's expression twitched, as if he was angry, but when he was looked at by those eyes, he was scared for no reason.

"Let's go, senior brother, there's no need to pay attention to this group of mad dogs. ”

Ye Qingxuan retracted his gaze and turned to leave.

－

"I don't know what to do. ”

Right behind him, Bradley stared at his back, a grim expression on his face. He reached out and pressed the flute under his gown, his lips open and closed, chanting the secret words of activation.

In an instant, the faint and long sound of the flute penetrated Ye Qingxuan's ears. The whisper seemed to carry the soft whisper of the yin spirit, and it was entangled in the brains of the two of them in an instant, like a ** seed, and began to grow rapidly.

It's like a mold that grows madly under the spring sun, absorbing the nutrients of rotten wood.

The sudden trance descended on Ye Qingxuan's consciousness, causing his feet to soften and he almost fell. The body stiffened, as if it had been drained of its strength by some force, and no longer accepted its own control.

This is the Teleman Flute Concerto, No. 68 - Thread. This is one of the most common scores in the Mind Imagery system, which invades consciousness, causing runes to parasitize like mold, and then smoothing out the recipient's consciousness and turning it into a puppet.

Under the control of the music, the stiff boy slowly turned around, like a broken puppet, and wanted to go back step by step.

Bradley looked at the returning boy, his fierce eyes flashed with pleasure, and he slowly stretched out his hand: "Hand over the double snake timepiece......"

Ye Qingxuan's movements were stiff, but he didn't stretch out his hand.

Bradley's eyes grew more and more angry, and he urged the flute again, and the flute sound was sharp and slowly raised, but it suddenly stopped.

It's like being strangled by the throat and unable to move.

So, the fetus was stillborn.

"Yo, Mr. Bradley, long time no see. ”

Bradley's expression froze as a palm came out from behind and rested on his shoulder.

The man who looked like he was hanging around like he had no bones, and whispered in his ear, "I don't know how long you've been outside, but the rules here...... You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Bradley's deep voice sent chills through his body, and his arm trembled.

Because a hand pressed against the flute in his arms, the aether in the palm of his hand had a rusty power, and it only took a moment to rust away the instrument that he regarded as his life!

In the Musicians' Association, there are many rules. There are not many rules that musicians should pay attention to, and among the several rules that have been repeatedly ordered, the one with the heaviest punishment is:

-- No matter what grievances you have with each other, you are not allowed to work in the musicians' association!

"Tube, Mr. Administrator. ”

He stiffened his head and whispered, "I think it was a misunderstanding." ”

"Probably, can I take a step to talk to you?"

The Administrator laughed and reached out to pull him aside, Bradley subconsciously tried to resist, but couldn't break free, that hand was like a pincer.

The administrator looked back at him, "I said, take a step to speak, didn't you hear?"

－

Outside the door, Bradley's face was cloudy.

The caretaker pulled the lighter out of his bosom, lit his pipe gracefully, and took two puffs, exhaling a thin cloud of smoke. As if to exclaim, he said:

"I don't care what the dispute you have with that little imp, for the next few days, you'd better pray that little ghost doesn't make any mistakes in Avalon. ”

Bradley was stunned for a moment, and his expression became gloomy: "Avalon is so big, it doesn't have to be me who made it, right?"

"Avalon is so big, why did you choose this place to do it?"

The Administrator asked rhetorically, and Bradley was speechless.

"Also, do you have any opinion on the two apprentices in the Musicians Association, as a fine, deducting your 2,000 contribution points?"

Bradley gritted his teeth and was silent, his expression changing uncertainly, and finally he stopped talking.

"So be it. You're good to go. ”

The Administrator waved his hand, and his expression became confused as he saw that he was still still,

"What are you doing here?

Bradley stared at him for a long time, gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words: "The family will remember your gift." Then, with Edmund, he turned and left.

In response to this sentence, the administrator only responded with two words: "Hehe." ”

－

After a long time, Ye Qingxuan finally recovered from his paralyzed state. The runes on Charles' hands shone with a glimmer of electricity, and they were pressing his shoulders with concern:

"Senior brother, are you okay, where are you uncomfortable, I'll give you a press again?"

Ye Qingxuan rubbed his face that was crooked by electricity, and rolled his eyes: "Senior brother, if you press it again, you will kill me." ”

"Hehe, I don't care about you. Charles withdrew the electric light and smiled sheepishly.

"Looks like you're recovering well. ”

The administrator walked in, saw the two of them, and nodded, "If it's okay, go back." Don't worry, this is Avalon after all, that guy doesn't dare to mess around......"

"Uh, thanks. ”

Ye Qingxuan saw him here, and he didn't know what to call him. Charles pounced on him with a look of surprise on his face, shouting, I would have brought fruit to the door if I knew your old man was here......

The administrator pushed the slut away in a desperate way, and couldn't help but sigh: "Just call me the administrator, or Mr. Bayer." ”

"There's no need to thank me, it's the rules of the association. ”

He patted Ye Qingxuan's shoulder: "I'm busy with something first, and I often come to play when I have time...... And who else, remember to bring some fruit next time. Recently, I've been a little hot, and my mouth is foaming. ”

"Okay, okay. What do you like to eat? I'll see if there's anything in the backyard of the Change Academy. If I don't have to look in the backyard of the Academy of Revelation......"

Charles waved his hand and said goodbye.

Ye Qingxuan thought for a while: Do you think about the things in other people's backyards all day long!

－

In his office, Bayer stood in front of the window, looking at the back of the young man on the street, but his gaze became suspicious when it fell on Charles.

Bradley's score should have been directed towards the two of them, and he sensed it clearly. But why did Ye Qingxuan get tricked, but the slut who seemed to make people want to beat him was fine?

"Is Bradley himself out of control?"

He pinched his chin and muttered to himself.

When he went out at noon, Ye Qingxuan remembered that the flow of people on this road was like weaving, and it was so noisy that it was like the voices of the whole world had gathered. But when I went back, it was already dusk, and the crowd had disappeared.

The hustle and bustle is gone, and it is quiet again.

Even Charles was much more silent, just walking ahead with his head down, kicking the stones under his feet.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ye Qingxuan looked at him and felt that something was wrong.

"It's nothing, I'm fine. Charles scratched his hair, but didn't look back at him.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "When you are good, you will say bad things like 'Senior brother, you care about me so much, senior brother, I am so moved', but if you say this now, it will not be good."

Is it because of the association?"

“...... Pretty much. ”

Charles muttered in a low voice, "The teacher has always said that I will be a brother in the future." But my brother is going to take care of you. All I can do every day is gags, nothing else. ”

He paused, kicking the pebbles away from his feet, "Because I'm a scrap of wood, you know." ”

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, remembering Bart's words in the cafeteria, and Xia Er's languishing appearance. He opened his mouth to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until now that he realized that he really didn't have much of a comforting experience.

Charles looked back at him and saw him wilting as himself, and knew why, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm actually fine, I just don't know what went wrong. ”

He stopped Ye Qingxuan and patted him on the shoulder: "Sometimes it's stuck, and it's used to it." Life is a little sluggish, I owe some debts, and I often go to get drunk...... But there is always a way to fix this. ”

"In the past, I used to feel sad about myself, get drunk, and have some weird nightmares. When I woke up, I didn't know where I had run. Every time I open my eyes, I wonder what the point of being here is.

But I don't have anywhere else to go but here. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent, not knowing what to say, and Xia Er laughed when he looked at him who was even sadder than himself.

"But it's actually very good here. “

He hooked the young man's neck and whispered, "There is a teacher here, there is you, and Bai Xi." Not alone anymore.

I'm going to bless them, so the city can be beautiful. ”

－

In the open streets, the young blonde voice hummed a vague tune, and he looked around the city at sunset, and in the gaps between the buildings, he could see the ocean in the distance.

The light of the setting sun fell on the waves, brilliant as gold.

The sun fell behind them, pulling out a shoulder-to-shoulder projection on the road in front of them, which was the silhouette of two teenagers.

Looking at the shadow that was no longer lonely, he stopped being depressed and smiled.
