Dreams, reincarnation

Tick, tick......

What was that?

It was pitch black, his fingers were missing, and Edward couldn't hear anything except a strange ticking sound.

Tick, tick. So, it must be the sound of the watch hand turning, right?

Edward could not feel the passage of time, and could only listen silently to the sound of ticking.

[Protect her, this time]

The long-lasting story lingered in Edward's heart.

He had already done it, but why the voice still wouldn't disappear? Edward didn't know.

In the darkness, a vague figure gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

With long black hair and slender legs, the woman smiled and said something to Edward, who could only see her delicate lips but not hear what she said to herself.

Soon, a vague shadow disappeared from Edward's eyes.

"No, no!"

Edward was well aware that this was another damn nightmare.

But...... Dreams seem to be getting more and more real.

===============

Mengxia, Initial

"Night!" exclaimed Edward.

"Master, what's wrong with you lately?" Ye asked with a frown, puzzled, "You can fall asleep while standing, and you have nightmares, is your brain completely broken?"

"Tsk......"

It's a dream...... Edward shook his head, keeping himself awake.

"Hey, what's that?" Edward asked curiously, seeing the little play in Night's arms.

"This is a pocket watch. Night took out his pocket watch and handed it to Edward, "Sheila gave it to me." ”

"Why did she give you a pocket watch?"

"She wanted me to understand what time is. Night pointed to the pocket watch in the palm of his hand expressionlessly, "This is time." ”

"Uh, yes......"

As they spoke, another man walked up to them and interrupted their conversation.

"Well, let's go. Emilia glanced at Edward nonchalantly, then checked her weapons and equipment, and after confirming that everything was in place, she prepared to leave immediately.

Her target is the Black Flame Gang.

"Hey, why just a few of us?" asked Edward curiously, "What about Flandor and George?"

"Flando has other things, George has to go to class, and they can't come. ”

“...... All right. ”

"You, scared?" Emilia raised an eyebrow.

"I—How could I be afraid? I'm a demon king!"

"Then let's go. ”

"Hmph, who, who's afraid of who!" Edward was not to be outdone, and waved his hand at the night, "Night, let's go!"

“......”

"Night?" called out but did not respond, Edward looked at the daze night worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. Ye smiled slightly, "Master, let's go." ”

"Hmmm......"

Not taking it to heart, Edward took Night's hand and followed Emilia towards the Black Flame Gang's lair.

As he was leaving, he happened to hear a conversation between two uncles on the side of the road.

"Hey, did you hear that? It's been locked down since last night. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, there are many times more defenders on the other side of the city gate, and the city gate is closed, and even the merchants won't let them go. ”

"Oh my God...... Is something big going to happen?"

"Who knows, it has nothing to do with me anyway. ”

The gates are closed?

Edward glanced at them, pretended not to hear, and hurried to follow Emilia.

Today, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?

============

Same as dusk

Edward, Amilia, and Night, the three of them fought all the way to the Black Flame Gang's lair, and no one could stop them.

From daytime to dusk, until now it was evening, Emilia couldn't remember how many minions she had defeated, only her goal.

Destroy the Black Flame Gang.

"It's you, it's you! It's you, you monster!"

The guy who is screaming in front of Emilia now, nicknamed Scar Jill, is a small leader of the Black Flame Gang.

In the face of others, Jill has always been menacing, and today it is rare to see him in an embarrassed manner.

He couldn't help but be embarrassed, the enemy he faced was that terrible monster...... The last time he saw her in front of the Resurrection's hut, Jill had struck her familiar, but he didn't recognize her for a moment. Seeing her again now, Jill suddenly realized.

This woman is the monster that the Gate of Original Sin has been looking for, and often haunts the shopping streets in the middle of the night!

I didn't expect her to be alive!

"Ahhhh

Jill rolled on the ground and ducked behind the other man without a trace.

"Calm down, calm down!" Although the man seemed calmer than Jill, he was actually panicked to death.

was inexplicably killed by a monster into his hometown, and no one could keep calm.

"Excuse me, which gang is your Excellency, and if there is anything wrong with the younger brother, please tell me directly!"

As the boss of the Black Flame Gang, Chad must step up at a critical moment. Even if it's to save your own life......

"No, I don't have a gang. Emilia shook her head, unmoved, her sword in hand, right at Chad's throat.

Today, she wants to fulfill her promise to make the Black Flame Gang disappear.

"No?" Chad was stunned, and after confirming that the other party did not belong to any gang, he boldly asked, "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, why do you want to kill me next time?"

"Nope. Emilia shook her head again, "They didn't die, they just got knocked unconscious by me." ”

"......" Chad was speechless.

These three teenagers, two women and one man, did not belong to any gang, nor did they come to seek revenge because of personal vendettas, they fought all the way to their lair, as if only to vent their anger.

To deal with this kind of person, Chad can't think of any other way than to surrender.

"From now on, be a good person. Emilia walked up to Chad and whispered.

"What? ...... you"

Before Chad could react, Emilia slammed a sword into his head, knocking him unconscious.

"A bunch of rubbish. ”

Deal with the last two, Emilia frowned, and said unsatisfactorily.

"Amilia, you ......"

Tick, tick.

Edward was about to speak, when a strange voice in his ears stunned him.

"W-What is this sound?"

Why, why did that voice sound again? This is obviously not a dream, but reality!

Tick, tick......

Every syllable was like a hammer weighing a thousand pounds, smashing into Edward's heart, making him feel painful.

"What are you talking about?" asked Amilia.

She looked at Edward inexplicably, and from the horror in his eyes, she seemed to understand something.

The sun had set, and the moon, which was not bright and not bright, slowly rose and froze in the night sky.

Emilia had the illusion that the moon would never move its footsteps, and it stopped forever.

At this moment, a weak voice came.

"Strange, why did the night watch stop?" Night took out the delicate pocket watch from his bosom and carefully examined it.

In the pocket watch, the hands that never stop stopping, at this moment, actually stopped turning.

Time, stopped. (To be continued.) )
