Chapter XVII: Goodbye 1
Let's go it.
At the quiet street in the middle of the night, the brass sign with the three words "Elm Street" swayed slightly in the wind alone, and a carriage slowly stopped under it.
"Let's get off here and walk with me. ”
After leaving the auditorium, Maya's love was not very high, and she didn't speak, just staring blankly at the scenery on the side of the road, until now she suddenly opened her mouth to stop the carriage and proposed that the two of them get off and walk together.
Dio nodded, "Okay." ”
The two got out of the carriage, and Dio talked to the coachman, gave him a tip, and let him drive the carriage back.
At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the commercial area was still very lively, but this residential area had fallen silent, there were almost no pedestrians on the road, and from time to time a gust of night wind blew, bringing a slight coolness, so that Maya, who was only wearing a small dress, couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.
Seeing this, Dio took off his coat and draped it over Maya's body, in exchange for her grateful smile.
The two of them walked slowly along the street, silent, except for the crisp chirping of insects echoing with their footsteps, as if they had entered an isolated space.
"Thank you, Dior. As she walked, Maya, who lowered her head, suddenly said, "I'm very happy today, really." ”
"That's my pleasure. Dio smiled and raised the hand that was still holding Maya, "You're my female companion." ”
Maya hummed softly, was silent for a moment, and then raised her head and looked at the vast starry sky.
"I'm leaving. ”
"Huh?" Dior looked at her quizzically.
"My mom and I were leaving the city and moving to a new place. ”
Maya's words were like an electric current that instantly swept through his body, and the muscles in his place became paralyzed, so that he could barely feel the presence of his body.
"Why?" Dior felt his voice dry, like a dry river.
Maya didn't speak, just stared at the stars in the sky in a daze, as if the answer was there.
After a long time, she finally withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Dior, her eyes were clear and without any impurities: "It was fate, fate guided me to this city, fate made me meet you, but fate also guided me to start the next journey......"
"Destiny...... Hehe. Dior chuckled, not expecting that his efforts were completely in vain, or the original result. There was mockery in his laughter, not sure if it was Maya, it was about her fate, or it was about himself, but also with a strong unwillingness. For him, changing the future after being reborn is already his greatest belief, so he never agrees with Maya's reason, "Fate is never predestined, our path will only be determined by ourselves, just whether we are willing to change, whether we want to try, this world has given us free will, that is, we want to follow the path we think is right!"
"Maybe one day you'll finally be able to do what you just said, but it can't be now. I was supposed to leave a few days ago, but I can't put it off anymore. Maya looked at him quietly, her expression soft, and she tolerated his gaffe, "I'm really sorry, but it's time to say goodbye." ”
The girl stepped forward to the boy's side, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the boy gently, and after a while, when the boy was still savoring the softness, the girl had stepped back lightly, revealing a bright smile.
"Send me home. ”
The rest of the road was not long, and although they walked slowly, they reached the end soon after.
Dio looked at Maya in front of him and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while. He knew that it was already doomed, and that there was no way he could stop the Mayan family from moving, and although it didn't seem to be something he could do with his efforts, he couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.
"I went back. Maya said softly.
"Well, when are you leaving?"
"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, my things are ready, and don't come to see me off. ”
"Will we see each other again?"
"Definitely. Maya smiled and said, "Dior, if we can meet again one day, then you have to remember me." ”
"Of course. ”
There was a sudden silence between the two, and after a while, it was Dio who broke the deadlock: "Let's go, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye. ”
At this time, Dio had already sorted out his mentality, accepted the result of his first love ending without a problem again, and was ready to watch Maya enter the house before leaving.
Click!
Suddenly, there was a small sound from Maya's house, but at this moment, the voice was exceptionally loud.
Maya turned her head to look, a figure happened to come out of the door, she subconsciously thought that her mother heard the movement and came out, "Mom, I ......" her voice came suddenly, because under the dim street lamp, you can see that this is a slender man in a white suit, and her mother obviously will not be a man.
"Who are you?" Maya asked warily.
Dior grabbed Maya and pulled her behind him. The first time he saw this man, he felt a great sense of threat, as if he had met a natural enemy, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I am a slave to spread the light for the Lord, and you are thieves who blaspheme the glory of the Lord, what do you think, Miss Witch. The face of the man in white entered the illumination range of the light, and it could be seen that it was a middle-aged man, with a solemn face, bowing slightly, and performing a very gentlemanly etiquette, but his words were undisguised with malice.
"Where's my mother?" Maya stepped up from behind Dior.
The man in white smiled strangely, did not answer Maya's question, but directly stretched out his index finger to Maya, and several silver rays of light suddenly passed through the space and appeared in front of her.
Rumble!
Even Dio, who was not targeted, felt an invisible force pressing down like a wall, and just as he was about to go up to protect Maya, he saw her hands make a forward push movement, and the next moment, a bang broke out, and the invisible power disappeared immediately, but Maya flew backwards as if she had been hit by something.
Attack the Man in White or save Maya.
There was no need to hesitate, Dior chose the former in an instant. His body was slightly lowered, and he launched a charge towards the man in white with a kick on his feet, and his body was dexterous, like a leopard pounced on food, full of suddenness that caught the enemy off guard.
But the man in white didn't care about Dior's attack at all, he simply pointed at Dior, and a few silver lights silently streaked through the air and wrapped around Dior. In an instant, Dior felt a trembling sensation that was dozens of times stronger than at the beginning, every cell was transmitting extremely dangerous information to his brain, his right hand immediately propped up to the ground, the muscles in his arm bulged high, twice as large as before, and then with a fierce force, the whole person somersaulted sideways like performing gymnastics, jumping out four or five meters at once, and in the next moment, several silver lights crossed in front of him.
Dior, who was standing firmly, looked back, and only then did he see that the silver light just now turned out to be several slender silver metal wires, one end connected to the hand of the man in white. He looked down and saw that the man in white was wearing a pair of gloves, pure black, and the back of his hand was a golden five-pointed star pattern, and the metal thread was attached to the glove.
Looking down, Dior saw that there were more than a dozen intertwined cracks in his dress on his chest, the torn black fabric continued to peel off, and the shirt below was not spared, and even pulled out a few shallow bloody cuts on his chest.
At this time, the man in white who had forced away Dio attacked Maya again, and Dio's dodging just now kept him away from Maya, and it was too late to rescue Maya who fell to the ground and was dizzy.
Just as Dio was about to fight to the death to save Maya, there was a sudden frenzied whistling sound in the air, and several cold rays flashed in front of the man in white, making a metal cutting sound of Zla, and then several daggers were seen driven into the ground, and several broken metal threads were floating in the air.
The face of the man in white, who had always been very calm, changed significantly, he looked solemnly at a dark place on the side of the street, and even took two steps back, which showed his fear of the comer.
"It's just for a junior, even the chief executioner of the Black Mosa region has been dispatched, Longe, you are really going back more and more. The visitor slowly walked out of the darkness, it was a middle-aged man in a beige trench coat and black politeness, with a somewhat sloppy beard on his vicissitudes of life, and a scar from his left eyebrow bone to his left eye, extending to the left corner of his mouth.
"Galio!" said three words from the mouth of Longe, the man in white, like a cold wind from the Far North Wasteland. As he spoke, he suddenly took something out of his pocket and pointed it to the sky, and the next moment, a bright firework appeared on the canopy, and then he turned and ran, cleanly, without any mud and water.
Gallio seemed to have anticipated Longe's choice, and when Longer signaled, he pounced on him, and threw down a sentence as he passed Dio: "Protect her and wait for me to come back." Then he rushed over, and ran after Longer into the woods behind the house, and soon the sound of fierce fighting came from the woods, and then quickly went away.
Dio hurriedly stepped forward to help Maya, who looked a little weak at this time, with some blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, it seemed that she was not lightly injured at that moment.
Looking around, Dio didn't believe that Longe had set off the fireworks to confuse Gallio into buying time to escape. Sure enough, he saw several dark shadows soon appear in the distance, and no longer hesitated, he rushed directly to her house with Maya in his arms.
The dark shadows also noticed Dior's movements and immediately ran towards him.
