【Cohen Regional Exorcism Society Headquarters】

It was already late at night, and it was already dark in the Cohen area, and the people living in the Cohen area had already turned off the lights and fallen asleep, looking extremely deserted, and occasionally saw a few sporadic lights still flickering in the darkness, like bright stars in the vast starry sky. The starry moon was obscured by cloudy clouds, but it could not stop the bright and charming moonlight, and the clear and bright moonlight pierced the heavy clouds and swayed on the eaves and streets, like a crystal clear light veil drifting in an undulating manner. The straight roads paved with gray-white rocks look old, and have been caressed into a delicate and slippery stone surface by the wind and rain and the years, which are even more charming under the reflection of the moonlight. Bursts of cold mist filled the surroundings, freely shuttling through the streets, as if lurking in the darkness of ghosts wandering aimlessly, occasionally a cool breeze hit, making people feel refreshed, as if the land that had not been manned for a long time ushered in the blessings of nature.

At this time, Smith stood in front of the window, as if he did not care about the scenery outside, his eyes were dull and staring at the vast sky, and his old face showed a trace of bitterness, as if he had something on his mind. Michelle stood beside Smith, not sleepy at all, seeing Smith's slightly bitter face and not daring to go up to disturb, his sharp eyes showed a trace of helplessness, and he just stood there sluggishly.

"People can't be resurrected from death, so please cheer up. Actually, I don't know what to say, the King's Wings will definitely appear again, and the Seven Yao Society will embark on a path of no return this time, and the battle is not over," Smith said earnestly, instantly breaking the silence in the air.

"I just can't face my father, it makes me hesitate" Michelle frowned, her gloomy face showed a hint of sadness, and crystal tears kept flashing in her face.

"Life is like a cup of tea, it will not be bitter for a lifetime, but it will always be bitter for a while. Those who live should continue to live with the faith of the dead, instead of obsessing with the past," Smith said with a bitter smile.

"Master Smith, please tell me the answer in your heart" Michelle was shocked in his heart, looked at Smith in surprise, and then his face became a little helpless, and he said slowly.

"You are a brave, reliable and righteous person who will always give others a sense of security. When he lost his father in the Doomsday War, he was also left with a vicious curse by Prometheus, although the great sage - Michael used his last strength to seal the curse, but I know that the curse on your body makes you miserable, but you have never shown it in front of anyone, this kind of torment" Smith sighed helplessly, his cold eyes revealed a trace of sadness, and looked at Michelle.

"Lord Smith, please don't worry about me, I know my physical condition very well. This time to pursue the King's Wings may be nine deaths, even if it is not, the curse in the body will take my life at any time, as time goes by, the seal has become weaker and weaker, and the pain on the contrary is more intense, and then the demon will gradually devour me until it disappears. Time is simply superfluous for me," Michelle's gaze gradually sharpened, and he said coldly.

"Actually, I have known for a long time that the seal in you is gradually beginning to weaken, and as the seal weakens, the pain also begins to increase dramatically, and this kind of torment is very enduring. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your sadness," Smith's old face looked a little bitter, and his sharp gaze revealed a trace of regret and sadness, and he said slowly.

"Thank you, Lord Smith, for your concern, I'm not thinking about death right now, I just want an answer."

"A person who is not even afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of, the answer is not at all important to you. What you really lack is courage and faith to cut off the fear in your heart," Smith said with a determined gaze at Michelle.

"I really can't do it, whenever I think of my father's appearance in front of me, it's like going back to the moment of the Doomsday War twenty years ago, seeing my father disappear from my eyes, I really can't do it" Michelle said with tears running across her face, looking extremely bitter and painful, and said with a little apology.

"Alas, Yui is my granddaughter, although I am not related to her by blood, but I have always treated her as my own daughter, she lost her parents and became an orphan when she was a child, exactly like you. There is a big age difference between the two of you, maybe because of the orphans, the two of you have come together with each other, although it has not developed to the stage of romance, but Yui likes you very much, I just hope you don't live up to Yui's heart, but I have a heart" Smith's old face squeezed out a smile, and he looked at Michelle expectantly, waiting for Michelle's answer.

"I also like Yui very much, but my curse has become more and more serious, and my body seems to be unable to support it anymore, so I have always avoided Yui, although this is very unfair to Yui, but I have no choice, maybe this is the fate between me and her, no one can destroy it" Michelle's vicissitudes of life looked a little helpless, and said slowly.

"Actually, this time you came to Yui, and what I said just now is what I really want to say in my heart. I don't understand emotional things, but Yui is a good girl, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage, this time to pursue the wings of the king, I'm afraid the road is treacherous, take advantage of this opportunity, I want to marry Yui to you, this is also the meaning of Yui, repeatedly disappointing Yui is a painful thing for her, simply handle a wedding, I will be your witness, you see how " Smith's old face showed a hint of expectation, waiting for Michelle's answer.

"I'm not worthy, I really can't face Yui, my rotten body can't support the pain of the curse, I don't know when I'm going to die, I don't want Yui to leave regrets, long pain is better than short pain, Lord Smith, you really don't want to embarrass me" Michelle's vicissitudes of life showed a trace of helplessness, with crystal tears sliding down her cheeks, and said ashamedly.

- Knock knock

With a banging sound, the door to the room gradually opened, and Yui's charming face glistened with tears, and rushed into Michelle's arms.

"Why, I don't care about anything about you at all, because I really like you" Yui cried silently in Michelle's arms, Michelle looked a little panicked, gently patted Yui's shoulder, and comforted Yui. Smith turned his head and looked out the window at the scenery, a smile on his old face.

"True love should be two people, understand each other, respect each other, not entangled, not entangled, not possessed, and then accompany each other, through a long journey, but I can't hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son, I really don't deserve to have you" Michelle's vicissitudes of life looked a little helpless, crystal tears welled up in her eyes, and said apologetically.

"Then entrust the rest of your life to me, so that no one owes anything" Yui tears continued to flow from her cheeks, and her hands dragged her fists and hit Michelle slightly, and then her eyes began to gradually become sharper, wiping her tears slightly, staring at Michelle deadly, waiting for his answer.

"Yui, what are you talking about" Michelle said in surprise as she looked at Yui with a determined gaze at this time.

"Since you can't grow old with your son, then you can store the rest of your life with me, and I will live strong together with your share, Michelle, do you agree to this equivalent exchange?"

Michelle looked at Yui in surprise, she didn't expect Yui to say such a thing, Yui seemed to have changed a person at this time, without the slightest hesitation, the decisive momentum seemed to make Michel have no room to retreat, staring at Michelle with a firm gaze, Yui slowly stretched out her right hand and spread her palm. Michelle stood motionless, looking a little surprised and flustered, not knowing where to go, Smith slowly walked to Michelle's side, patted Michelle on the shoulder slightly, showed a long-lost smile, and his determined gaze revealed a trace of expectation.

"Life is like making a choice question, the right to choose is in your own hands, and no one forces you. Don't forget that person, don't forget those things, don't forget the first time you shed tears, don't forget the first time you smiled, because once you forget, they will become your vague memories and you will start over"

"I know, I promise you, Yui" Michelle smiled brightly, stretched out her left hand, and gently placed it on Yui's palm, Yui didn't speak, just hugged Michelle's hand tightly.

"Michelle, now that your fate is closely linked to mine, I will never allow you to escape from my hands"

"No, I'm not going to run away, this time I'm going to hold you tightly, forever"
