Chapter 18: The Golden Fairy (16)
"HeyβVictoria, do you really want to go in?" asked Elian, who was hesitating at the door of the small building, taking Victoria's snow-white hand and uneasily.
Maybe it was a momentary illusion, but this small building gave him a very uneasy feeling.
Victoria didn't reply to Elian's words, but stared at the second floor of the small building without saying a word. It was as if there was something there that was attracting her.
"Okay. β
Seeing that persuasion failed, Elian had no choice but to follow Victoria into the dilapidated building.
The red wooden door could no longer be closed, and the three of them cautiously stepped into the small building, for fear of alarming others.
Of course, it has long been uninhabited.
Victoria searched the interior of the small building as she rummaged through the floor.
As if she was familiar with this place, Victoria did not hesitate to take Eren and Ai Yue back and forth on the somewhat complicated first floor.
As if to raise her heart, Ai Yue talked to Victoria from time to time along the way, such as the style of the hut that was clearly not part of the town, and the broken picture frames that could be seen scattered on the ground from time to time.
But most of the time Victoria just listened quietly.
As if none of this had anything to do with her.
"I say, where the hell are we going?" finally unable to hold back the silence, Eren gently tugged at the back of Victoria's dress and asked in a low voice.
"Whew-" The girl at the front made a small, cute voice.
Elian was a little frightened, he didn't expect Victoria to make such a little girl's voice.
If it were the usual Victoria, he would definitely put on that face that has not changed for ten thousand years, and said in a hoarse and cold voice: "Take your hand away, pervert!" or something like that.
Honestly, if she was said like that, Eren might be ashamed and shameless, and it would last for several minutes.
Language is the sharpest weapon, and that's true.
The person who first said this sentence must have been dumped by the girl many times.
Eren thought.
Victoria, who made a cute voice, stopped suddenly, and Eren behind her didn't stop for a while because she was thinking about some messy things, but fortunately, Elian's reaction speed was still very fast, and he hugged Victoria in time before knocking her down.
The air was a little frozen, and the dusty room seemed to suddenly appear with a hint of brilliant pink.
However, the voice behind him still woke up Ellen, although it was not the cold voice that Victoria was used to, but it was still cold and a little biting.
"Enough hugging?"
The source of the voice is Ai Yue behind Ai Lian, and without looking back, Ai Lian can already imagine what kind of Shura appearance Ai Yue looks like at this time.
Eren hurriedly let go of his hand, because the hand holding him suddenly let go, and Victoria's ears suddenly turned red.
"Maybe I'm bothering you, Brother Ai Lian, can you please explain what happened just now?" Ai Yue's cold voice suddenly had a black feeling, and Ai Lian felt that it was just his own illusion.
But Ai Yue will call herself brother, and that is enough to say it all.
Ai Lian hurriedly explained, and then promised two more meals, which barely calmed Ai Yue's anger.
Seriously, it can be solved with money, which makes Allen believe that God really exists.
And maybe it's the god of luck who is taking care of you.
This is the end of a small episode.
But what Ai Lian didn't know was that in the depths of this dilapidated small building, a pair of eyes were staring at him.
A pair of gray, death-like emotionless eyes.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"I said, this is the second floor, it looks like a bedroom, but here it is... Eren lowered his head and thought for a moment, finally coming up with a brilliant word to describe the scene he was seeing: "Full of disobedience." β
"Hmm-" Victoria didn't say much, but blinked at something.
The pair of emerald eyes under the long eyelashes are enough to make people fall into it deeply.
"Eh, I can't feel anything wrong!" Ai Yue asked, noisily rummaging through the dusty tables in the room.
Without waiting for Elian to speak, Victoria, who had been looking down and thinking about something, suddenly spoke: "There is a bed at the entrance of this room, which means that this was once a bedroom. However, there were no pillows or mattresses on the bed. Even the sheets were tattered, as if they had been torn apart. β
After a slight pause, Victoria walked to the table that Ai Yue had been flipping through, pointed to an item on the table, and said coldly: "Here, there should be a photo! β
What Victoria was pointing to was a picture frame, a picture frame that was very old, but very new.
"Photos?" "Photos?" Erian followed, picked up the frame, and looked at it over and over in his hand.
"I know what's wrong!
"Scared me, by the way, where?" Ai Yue asked, patting her chest with a look of surprise.
"Some of the things in this room really don't fit in with this room, and someone should have moved over later. Eren pointed to a chair in the corner of the room and said with some excitement.
"Chairs?" Ai Yue tilted her head, "Isn't it normal to have chairs in the room?"
"But there's never a kitchen chair. Elian walked to the corner, picked up a chair with a broken leg, and gently wiped the dust off it, saying, "Only when you put it in the kitchen for a long time will there be some black ash on the surface of the chair, which must be because someone said that burnt things are placed on it." β
The dusty chair was wiped out by Allen with a clean surface, with a black paint on it, which contrasted with the intricate patterns on the chair.
"Besides, don't you think some places in this room are too clean?" this time it was Victoria's voice, although she didn't speak, but she should have agreed with Elian's statement.
For some reason, when Victoria looked at this chair, there was always an incomprehensible sadness and tenderness.
Victoria, who showed such an expression, was the first time Elian had seen her.
Victoria, who was always expressionless, as if she had nothing to do with herself, showed such an expression in front of Ai Lian for the first time, which made Ai Lian feel a little distressed.
If Victoria was thinking about something, there was only one answer.
That's something that Victoria doesn't know about herself...
