The boarding passage is a long rectangular corridor, with glazed curtain walls on three sides, except for the brown non-slip floor on the ground, so you only need to deviate slightly from the line of sight to see the night view of the entire station.

Charles, the Tree Elf Mother and Daughter, and their servants were lining up to enter the cabin, and the middle-aged gentleman's face was a little blue, and he was glaring at Marta with an angry look:

"Marta, do you know how much money I have spent to make your life carefree?

"I just hate him. Marta hid behind her mother, pulling her lower eyelids with her index finger and sticking out her tongue to make a grimace.

"You kid!" the middle-aged gentleman angrily snapped his crutches.

"Marta!"

Aisha didn't cover her daughter this time, reached out and grabbed her arm, and pulled the girl forward from behind with a frosty face: "Do you know how much trouble Uncle Charles has caused this time?

"Oh......"

Marta had no way to hide, so she could only walk up to the middle-aged gentleman aggrievedly, rub the toes of her shoes, raise her pretty face, and look at each other pitifully:

"Uncle Charles, Marta knows it's wrong, and she won't trouble you again. ”

"If you know your mistakes, you have to change them, you know?"

Charles looked at the girl's cute appearance, and his anger was quickly extinguished by the loving rain and dew, and he glared at her angrily: "No matter who you meet in the future, the most basic politeness must be done, and the most important thing is not to show hostility!"

He raised an index finger, shook it in front of the other person's face, and repeated: "Repeat again." No hostility!"

"Hmm!"

Marta nodded vigorously. Like a white butterfly, she threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged gentleman. Said obediently: "Marta likes Uncle Charles the most, and I will definitely listen to you in the future." ”

"It's good if you can remember. ”

Looking at the tree elf girl who was gradually revealing her heart to himself, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, and couldn't help but pat her on the back and said softly:

"That's the end of it. ”

"Charles ......"

Aisha clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes welling up with tears, and she looked at each other gratefully.

Under this man's meticulous care, her already frozen heart finally thawed. I re-experienced the feeling of love and being re-experienced, and my whole body was wrapped in a hot warm current, which was unexpectedly relaxed.

Perhaps, this man is not only a strong support, but also a good place to be, Miss Dryad thought a little shyly.

The three of them didn't speak again, as if they would destroy the warm feeling at the moment as soon as they spoke, but they just quietly held hands, two hearts belonging to different worlds, and they lost their estrangement little by little. Gradually, gradually, gradually.

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and Marta couldn't help but turn her head to look. It turned out that someone was cutting in line. The queue was a man in a black coat with a large top hat on his head and even his face hidden by a scarf.

He didn't seem to care about everyone's disgusted gaze, and strode all the way from the back to the front, the corner of his eye as sharp as a knife, scanning everyone who passed him.

"Another nuisance. Marta pursed her lips.

"Marta!" Aisha raised her voice slightly, her hands on her waist, and she stared at her daughter with reproachful eyes.

"Mom, I'm not lying...... He had a lot of blood. ”

The tree elf girl hurriedly gestured and said eagerly: "The person before had a lot of blood around him, but he was very clean. This person has very little blood around him, but his body is soaked in blood. ”

"Blood?"

Hearing this, Aisha glanced at the other party, but didn't see any blood, and immediately tightened her eyebrows, and said angrily: "Marta, if you talk nonsense again, I will punish you with a month's confinement." ”

“......”

Marta could only hang her little head in a huff.

"This kind of thing also depends on the occasion, and it's nothing to say in private. ”

Charles turned to look at the man, and for no reason his heart suddenly felt cold, as if he was grabbed by an invisible and cold palm, and then frowned:

"I don't like him either. ”

“......”

The man in black seemed to notice his gaze, and suddenly turned his head, and after seeing the appearance of the middle-aged gentleman, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint, and he suddenly accelerated his pace.

"Uncle Charles!"

Marta quickly tensed her face, suddenly screamed, spread her slender arms, and protected him like a brave mole, and said in a trembling voice:

"Hurry up and run!"

"Marta, you kid!"

Charles was amused by her actions, stroked the head of the tree elf girl, and said in a slow voice: "Don't worry, this is not the world of the sea of trees, and there will be no monsters that suddenly jump out and eat me." ”

"Mr. Charles Williams?"

The man in black asked in a deliberately low voice, growing faster and faster.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged gentleman narrowed his eyes, looked each other up and down, the gloom in his heart suddenly increased, and he immediately hinted at the servant beside him with his eyes.

"Please stay away from Mr. Charles!" the loyal servant hurriedly stepped forward, trying to stop the other man in his place.

"I'm a crocodile man. ”

The man in black didn't continue to move forward, but lowered the brim of his hat with his right hand, and a flying knife suddenly slipped out of the sleeve of his left hand, which was hidden in the palm of his hand:

"I'm glad I didn't miss this opportunity, someone sent me to give you something. ”

Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand suddenly, and the dark green pointed knife shuttled out like lightning, sliding a straight black line in the air, silently slashing through Charles's wrist, and disappearing in an instant.

"Something has been sent out, goodbye. ”

The man in black raised his head, and his pupils were glowing with the sharp cold light on the blade, which made the servant tremble physically and mentally, and subconsciously let the other party turn away.

"Uncle Charles!" Marta quickly turned around and grabbed the middle-aged gentleman's sleeve.

"I'm fine. ”

Charles forced a long sigh of relief with a smile, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and the cold touch in his heart quickly disappeared. Then there was a burst of happiness like a catastrophe.

"Not really. Not really!"

The Dryad shook her head vigorously. Two lines of tears flowed down her pretty face, and she suddenly lifted the sleeve of the middle-aged gentleman and lifted his arm.

"Huh?"

Aisha and the middle-aged gentleman's expressions changed dramatically at the same time, and there was a shallow scar on the wrist, the wound had turned black and spread rapidly along the veins towards the torso.

......

"What a waste of time. ”

Aree glanced at the wall clock on the wall again, and looked at the second hand crawling like a snail, and his heart was filled with restless anxiety.

Obviously everything was well arranged. It's only the candied lady who disrupted her rhythm...... The next airship ride must be booked in advance and do not do superfluous things.

Suddenly, the entire waiting hall sounded a deafening alarm bell, and the mechanical female voice in the loudspeaker suddenly stopped abruptly and was replaced by the eager voice of a middle-aged man:

"Warning! There was a homicide in the boarding passage, and the murderer was a tall man wearing a black trench coat and a top hat, whose exact appearance is unknown. From this moment on, the Gallic airship station is closed in all directions, waiting for the investigation of the executive officer, please understand. ”

"Homicide?"

The black-haired knight furrowed his brow slightly. This means that the waiting time will be extended, and waiting for an airship can drag on like this. It's been a rough run lately.

"Catch him!"

A high-pitched shout suddenly came from the waiting hall, and Yalei looked around, and it turned out that two post guards were chasing a man in black, who was dressed like a murderer described in the loudspeaker.

Since he saw it, he naturally couldn't leave it alone, he clenched his fist hard, and his right arm was smashed out as accurately as a cannonball, and the air in front of him instantly squeezed into a fold and ejected violently.

Bang!

Breaking through the ripples in the circle, the air squeezed into a ball suddenly flew in, slamming into the back of the man in black, smashing his entire body to the ground.

"Tie him up. The two guards pulled out the reinforcing rope around their waists and quickly tied it up.

"Let go of me, I'm really not a murderer. ”

The man in black was dizzy from being smashed, and he couldn't exert his strength to struggle, but howled in vain: "It's just that someone paid me to hire me to wear this dress and walk around the waiting hall at this time period, I really didn't lie!"

"Shut up! it doesn't matter if you're true or not, let's talk about it when we meet the executive. One of the guards kicked him hard, swearing and forcing him to stand up.

After the other guard tied up the man in black, he immediately trotted all the way to the position of the black-haired knight, and when he saw it, he put his legs together and saluted him:

"Thank you very much for your assistance in getting the killer to account. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Aree shook his head and pointed in the other direction.

The guard turned his head to see several men of almost the same height, dressed in black coats and thick towels wrapped around their faces, squatting on the ground and not daring to move—they were frightened by the black-haired knight's move.

......

Temporary emergency room

"Dr. Gillant, the patient's body has reached its limits...... Bloodletting can no longer be continued. A nurse removed half a bucket of pitch-black blood and raised her head with a pale face.

“......”

The attending doctor put down the scalpel in a dejected manner, shook his head at Miss Dryad, and whispered with a gloomy face, "We have done our best, this is the poison of the swamp blue crocodile...... Time is running out for Mr. Charles. ”

"How can this be?" Aisha stood up from the bench in panic and looked at the attending doctor pleadingly: "I can't live without him, please find a way to save him!"

"I understand your feelings. The other party shook his head regretfully: "But we really have no choice, the toxin of the swamp blue crocodile is insolable, and we can only carry it by physical fitness, if Mr. Charles's physique is a little stronger, the result may be different." ”

Aisha...... My Aisha...... Where are you?" said Charles, his eyes wide, his breath clawing at the air.

"Charles, I'm here! I'll always be there for you. The dryad grabbed his wrist, tears dripping down the sheets like pearls.

Aisha...... Called by the Lord, I will die. The middle-aged gentleman's face quickly turned gray, and his eyes that had lost their light stared directly at the ceiling, and two lines of cloudy tears flowed obliquely:

"I'll ...... later. I can't keep hugging you...... Protect you......"

"Charles, Charles......"

Aisha hugged the palm that had once disgusted her. The soul was reluctantly muttering the other party's name. She felt it for the first time. This man is so important to himself.

"Damon, are you there?" said Charles, looking left and right.

"Yes host, I've always been. The faithful servant replied in a choked voice.

"I want to ask you to be a witness to all the people here. ”

The middle-aged gentleman's face was already dark, but he still squeezed his chest hard, and said in a trembling voice:

"All the factories, estates, and properties in my name. All were inherited by Aisha. All the shares of the consortium in my name are inherited by my adopted daughter, Marta. ”

"Yes. The servant frowned, but agreed.

Aisha...... My angel. ”

Charles felt that the vitality was draining from his body, and he breathed in vain, but his voice became weaker and weaker:

"My life...... They are all fighting for money...... But it's just you...... Let me know that there is something better in this world. ”

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Aisha hugged him tightly in tears, she knew, she always knew.

The other party has been trying to melt himself with sincere and hot feelings, and he has never responded to this feeling. Even, he was using him from beginning to end.

Ugly...... Who's really ugly?

She looked at the man with tears in her eyes. recalled the other party's energetic expression when they met, and looked at him now that he was dying, and his heart suddenly ached like a knife.

Tick!

Tears from the dryads dripped into Charles's eyes, mingling with his tears, and the miraculous magic restored the man's sight.

Aisha...... Are you crying for me?"

The middle-aged gentleman showed a surprised expression, then looked at her distressedly, stretched out his right hand tremblingly, and wiped away the tears on his lover's cheeks:

"But...... I've always ...... I want you to smile for me. ”

"Hmm!"

Aisha pressed his cold hand to his cheek, and tears were all over her soft face, blooming like a white orchid, revealing a very warm smile, and even the curvature of the corners of her mouth was so perfect.

The long pale blonde hair seemed to flutter in this beautiful smile...... Yes, that's the smile I dreamed of...... This is the smile of the angel that dispells the coldness of death...... The world is so bright, without a single blemish.

"How beautiful. ”

Charles sighed in fascination, a smile still on his face, and his right hand slammed into the sheets, life ...... has completely left him.

......

"What? was the one who was killed, Charles? are you sure?" Areley immediately stood up from his seat and stared at the guard with a wry smile on his face, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Just a few minutes ago, the two of them were still talking and laughing here, and in the blink of an eye, the rich man who had raised two tree elves died.

"How dare we deceive you. ”

The guard helplessly spread his hands, pointed to the waiting hatch in front of him, and patiently explained:

"Just a few minutes ago, we received a call to the police that one of the passengers had been poisoned. It was learned from his two fellow Treants that it was a man in black with a scarf wrapped around his face, but it was too late to find out. ”

"So, it's a well-planned murder. The black-haired knight looked around at several black-clothed men who were squatting on the ground and shivering, and suddenly asked:

"How many entrances and exits are there in the entire waiting room?"

"One entrance, one exit, and two emergency evacuation routes. ”

"There are guards at the door?"

"Yes...... But there was a time difference of several minutes between the discovery and the call to the police, and when we started chasing the killer...... Most likely, the killer has escaped......" he said, slurring.

"Most of them have already escaped. ”

Yalei narrowed his eyes and looked at each other calmly: "The agility of the tree elves far exceeds that of ordinary humans, and they can kill people in front of them, and their skills are definitely not ordinary...... Take me to meet the two Dryads. ”

......

Outside the makeshift emergency room of the airship station, Marta counted the seconds on the wall clock, and before she could count to five hundred, the closed frosted glass door suddenly opened, and several doctors in white coats walked out.

"Miss Doctor, how is Uncle Charles?" the anxious tree elf girl hurriedly chased after him.

"I'm sorry. ”

A hint of confusion flashed on the nurse's face, and she quickened her pace and shook off the girl behind her.

"Mr. Doctor," she still caught up with the other white coat, tugged at the other man's sleeve, and begged, "Uncle Charles, ...... he"

The doctor couldn't escape in time, so he could only say apologetically: "Sorry, we don't have any medicine for swamp blue crocodile toxin, so we can only help Mr. Charles with conservative bloodletting treatment...... He...... Didn't make it through. ”

"Liar...... Deception ......"

Marta let go of her hands in despair, her bright eyes instantly lost color, everything around her was rapidly fading away, only herself and the boundless darkness remained, and a majestic and invisible voice was rapidly approaching:

......

This is the world of mortals, a fragile and ugly world.

......

Charles died because of you, but you are powerless to change everything.

......

It is a sin to have no strength.

......

Hate yourself for your incompetence.

......

"Marta, Marta!" Aisha whispered her daughter's name, pulling her back from the darkness to reality.

"Mom!"

The tree elf threw herself into her mother's arms, her body trembled violently, and she finally couldn't help but cry bitterly: "Uncle Charles is dead, I have seen everything, but I have no power to help him. ”

"It's not your fault. ”

Aisha gently stroked her daughter's hair, her eyes full of confusion, even if she inherited Charles's wealth, where could she and Marta go?

There's no more of him anymore.

"I don't want to show up at this time, but it's not the time to be sad. Yalei appeared in front of them, looked at the two heartbroken tree spirits, and asked expressionlessly:

"There are some details about Charles's death that I need to ask you guys. (To be continued......)
