I don't know why, but she starts to look forward to seeing the sun go down. The people of this strange organization only appear at night, and the castle seems to have life at night, and she lives alone during the day, and always feels lonely.

"It's a nuisance to be a human being." In this quiet space, the rumbling of the stomach is clear. "Eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, sleep when you are tired. But why haven't I seen the Black Emperor's basic needs as a human being? Only after a drink at the Tartarus Bar and see you tomorrow, is he really not human?"

I still remember that there were so many chairs that it was so lonely that the long empty dining table, and Anya would never eat there after arranging her three meals; Not afraid to think of the terrible labyrinthine garden, but so lonely that she could almost hear her own heartbeat, and her mind would think uncontrollably about the mysteries surrounding him.

The more I think about it, the more I want to get to know him!

"Voices?" Anya jumped up in shock, obviously the collision sound of the knife and fork in her hand was even harsher, but she didn't hear it, only focusing on the little sound in the distance.

Finally, this lonely cage is finally not her alone.

Finally he went and came back.

"Black Emperor!" I was so surprised to hear the sound that I forgot to put on my shoes!

The subtle voice disappeared around the corner, and Anya followed the voice, feeling that the distance was within reach, and the voice drifted away again.

What is she looking for?

Before she knew it, she chased her out of the Black Emperor's fortress, avoiding the labyrinthine garden that scared her, and running towards the woods behind her, where she had used to run alongside Aiden.

Although it was a forest she was familiar with, it was already dark, and it was not appropriate for her to wander here as a woman. But at this time, she was more concerned about whether the sound was made by the Black Emperor!

Walking barefoot on the dirt road covered with dead leaves, the moonlight sifting through the cracks in the leaves gave her proper guidance, and the large cemetery, under the soft silver light, made her not afraid.

The sound stopped, and Anya held her breath as she pushed open the rusty, hollowed-out iron door that entwined vines.

"Anyone?" Of course there are people who are nonsense, don't you just hear the voice of the person and chase after it?

The figure was tall and long, with light blonde hair sparkling in the moonlight...... It was the Black Emperor, who was accustomed to wearing a snow-colored shawl, and his appearance seemed unharmed; But—at this moment, the aura on his body was solemn, and he was surrounded by one or two men in black that she had never seen before, busy with shovels.

The Black Emperor seemed to be grasping some round ball object in his hands, and he had words in his mouth?

"It's the eighth, and the next two will be over!"

Anya stood at the door and watched, where the Black Emperor was standing, in front of the tombstone of the 8-year-old Duke Douro, with ...... in his hand!

"Scared!" It's a decapitation!

"Why don't you always remember to put on your shoes?" The Black Emperor's expression was calm, and after throwing the human head in his hand into the hole shoveled out by the man in black, he turned around elegantly and stared at Anya.

At that moment, Anya felt as if his heterochromatic pupils were shining with an unusual light in the dark night, no wonder...... No wonder...... Aiden will react like that after seeing her cup of blue-green gradient tomorrow!

"Black Emperor ......" his hand had just grabbed a severed head, it turned out that it was because of that...... Have his hands been cold all the time?

"Don't hesitate to chase me to the cemetery, is there something urgent?"

"No, it's okay...... I'm fine...... he's really a murderer...... Cold-Blooded Killer ...... She finally saw it.

"One is to overcome the fear in your heart and come to me; The second is to turn around and run away, and live in prison for the rest of your life." Standing under the moonlight, he was so ethereal.

There was not a trace of dirt on his face, hands, or body, as if he had not killed him.

Don't say that Anya can hear her own heartbeat at this moment, he must be disturbed by the disordered heartbeat with perverted hearing.

He heard the sound of her stepping on the dead leaves without her shoes, heard the uncontrollable beating of her heart, heard her fear; He didn't say much, just gave the choice as usual.

Anya looked straight at the heterochromatic pupils that were not hidden in the slightest, and trembled

The trembling foot slowly lifted up, and took one step and another step in his direction, until an arm's length away, the Black Emperor reached out and pulled her into the snow-colored cloak.

"I really can't underestimate you." His tone was lighthearted.

Anya, who was still in a state of panic, just stared at the scenery behind the Black Emperor with wide eyes, but forgot to push away his unwarm embrace.

"Who did you bury?" Finally, Anya retrieved the lost voice.

"Duke Douro's enemy."

"Your enemy?" The head, which had been covered in earth by the man in black, saw nothing but the tombstone of Xiao Se mourning the 8-year-old boy. "This is your tomb, what happened to you when you were 8 years old?"

"As you can see, I'm dead."

"......Are you dead?"

"It's just not buried."

I died when I was 8 years old, and before I was buried, a group of people would put my flesh and blood in a comfortable coffin.

A person often dies twice, no longer loves, no longer loved – Voltaire.

As you can see, I'm dead, just not buried.

At first glance, it's a hard joke......

Anya looked up from his chest and looked at his extremely serious expression, she knew that this man had definitely not dug a grave and lost the so-called eighth head in the pit in order to tell her a joke.

She had heard Benjamin Franklin say that some people die at the age of 25 and are not buried until they are 75. That means that at the age of 25, he has lost his dreams, lost his mobility, and lost his enthusiasm, but the body of the walking corpse will not be able to really settle down and spend his life in vain until he is 75 years old.

And what is the situation of the Black Emperor?

It seems that his real name is Ansel Clark, and at the age of 8 he lost everything but his tenacious vitality...... Is it?

"Ansel?"

"Oh, if you don't want to be buried by my own hands, don't call that name." The Black Emperor's hands hugged her hard, and he lowered his head with an ethereal smile and whispered in her ear.

Anya's limbs were hurt by his circle, but ...... But it can't compare to the heartache after knowing his past.

She would begin to want to understand him, she would begin to feel sorry for him, she would begin to want to do something for him, or maybe the man didn't need her to do anything at all, but it didn't matter.

She couldn't look at a man in front of her who was drowning in the abyss without saving him.

But for her, it was no love.

"There are too many opportunities for you to kill me, for example, you can strangle me now, why 'what if'?" Anya put her hands on his chest, pulling a little distance between them.

His words were cold, and his hug was not warm, but ...... The breath on his body was so gentle, like the fresh air with the scent of grass after rain, and a little bit of the unique smell of the forest, it was difficult to describe...... All in all, it's refreshing.

She loved the taste.

However, this was not the first time they had clinged to their bodies, and in the past she had felt either the smell of blood after killing or the smell of smoke after playing with the barrel of a gun; This time, he had just killed someone, so why didn't he smell at all?

"You're used to me." Shirley's thoughts were complex and disordered, not as easy to see through as Ukiyo mortals, and even if he did, he rarely spoke so clearly.

is afraid that the bottom line of his ability will be detected, so he can't protect himself.

Since he was a child, he has not had any protection, and he can only rely on his own injuries over and over again to learn the truth of worldly survival.

Now that he is strong enough, he has also developed the habit of not saying what is in his heart at will.

But the sentence just now was his true words......

No, it should be said...... Does he still have a heart?

Realizing this, the Black Emperor immediately let go and pushed Anya into the tomb that had not yet been completely filled with lightning speed, his expression gloomy and cold.

"Wow!" Suddenly pushed and fell into the hole where eight heads had been buried, Anya propped her hands and knees on the wet dirt in embarrassment, and turned her head to glare at him angrily. 「

You're sick, why did you suddenly drop me? Do you want to bury me alive?"

"If you don't want to if, I'll grant your small wish." The Black Emperor hid under her cloak, the hand that pushed her tightly clenched, her neatly trimmed nails digging into her palms.

There was no feeling of pain.

To be precise, he didn't know what the pain felt or how to describe it, was it the feeling of being electrocuted in his heart for a moment after pushing Shirley down just now?

Watching her fall, her heart seemed to beat violently, which was weird!

"Okay, then hurry up and tell the man in black to bury me too!" Anya pointed to the two men in black who had stopped because she had fallen in.

"If you want to be buried alive, I'll find a good place for you to sleep, but not here." The Black Emperor knelt down on one knee and reached out to pluck her out of the hole full of hatred.

This strange force point, it's really a shame that the Black Emperor can stop her and pick her up without much effort! But what was he thinking? Push her in all at once, and gently carry her back into your arms?

Anya raised her hands and grabbed his thick neck that loomed in the snow-white fur shawl, pulling him closer to her.

"What's the deal with that pile of fine fabric?"

"Make amends for what you left behind." Her voice lingered in her ears, so close that if Shirley bit off her ear now to take revenge, he wouldn't have time to react.

"I'm glad you realized I was left behind."

"That man was a little more interesting than I thought, and it took a little more time to kill him." The Black Emperor adjusted the posture of the two of them and got up to leave the desolate cemetery.

"It turned out to be funny, I thought you *** dropped." Hearing this, Anya let go of her hand and naturally put it on his shoulder. "Okay, you can go back, I thought you wouldn't come back!"

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back."

"Why are you repeating what I said?" There is no second person in English, and Anya mistakenly thinks that the Black Emperor is childishly repeating her words, and she is a little happy that there is not only killing in his mind.
