Chapter 55: Answers

"Brother, where are you? I'm so scared! Brother...... Woohoo......"

A little girl with pink makeup stood in the park crying helplessly, and her brother, who had brought her to play, said that he had gone to buy a popsicle and then ran away, leaving her here alone. It was late at night, and most of the visitors in the park had dispersed, and the old elder who pulled the shadow of the little girl at the setting sun was lonely at her feet, as if it were an abandoned kitten.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a dirty trench coat came up to the little girl, squeezing out a twisted smile on his fleshy face.

"Little sister, are you lost? Go with your uncle, and your uncle will send you home. ”

The little girl instinctively felt that something was wrong, and shook her head again and again and retreated.

"If I don't go with you, my brother will come and pick me up. ”

The middle-aged man looked left and right, and found that no one noticed this, his tone suddenly changed, and he said impatiently: "If you want to go with me, follow me!" As he spoke, he reached out to grab the little girl.

The little girl was stunned by this sudden change, and was about to be caught by the middle-aged man, when the middle-aged man suddenly screamed in pain, and the hand that had been stretched out immediately withdrew and covered her head.

This cry also woke up the little girl, she turned around and ran into the woods not far away like a frightened rabbit, I don't know how long she ran, until no one chased behind her, then she sat on her knees under a tree and whimpered and cried, the branches of the trees around her with similar leaves were shaking in the whirring wind, like the strange claws of countless demons and monsters, she trembled with fright, and could only read blankly: "Brother come, brother come quickly, Lilia is so scared......"

But her brother didn't show up after all.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set that the patrol staff found the little girl hiding under the tree, sent her to the park gate, and handed her over to the patrol outside, who sent her home.

When she got home, her brother came back from outside slowly, with a blue nose and swollen face, and he didn't know who to fight with, and he had long forgotten about her sister.

......

"Everything depends on yourself, Dior is unreliable, and men are not reliable! Relying on others will end up being abandoned!"

Lilia walked at the front of the line, clenching her teeth secretly. For a little girl who is only eight years old, this experience has brought her an unknown shadow, becoming the main scene of her countless nightmares, and the sense of fear that she will never forget for the rest of her life.

Recalling this unpleasant memory, she was in a terrible mood, and she lost her face to the sudden appearance of Dio, and although she was surprised that he was able to subdue a ghoul - a term that Dio said, she did not want to talk to him at all, and when the group had set off, she simply walked at the front of the group, so as not to get too close to the unreliable fellow.

As for Dio, whether it was because of his heart or because he was tired and began to think crankily, this thing that he had almost forgotten also replayed in his mind, but it was another side of it that he saw from his perspective.

......

"You wait here, I'll buy popsicles and I'll be back soon. ”

"Brother, you have to hurry up. The little girl nodded obediently.

The boy ran away, came to a corner that the little girl could not see, and joined up with several children of about the same age, and went to dig out the eggs and shoot the birds.

Naughty boys as children generally don't play this less, and Dio is no exception, and he also had a slingshot made by his father out of discarded barrels in the army, and he was a marksman at the time, which was very powerful among children of the same age.

Dio helped these friends shoot down two birds and went back, but when he saw Lilia waiting there alone, he suddenly had the idea of playing a prank, so he hid in the grove on the side and did not appear, wanting to see how anxious Lilia would be.

As he expected, Lilia cried in a hurry at the end, but she still remembered Dio's instructions and never left there.

Seeing Lilia crying, Dio knew that he was a little too much, and he wanted to go over with guilt, but at this time, an evil thought secretly grew in his heart - if it weren't for her, he would be the only child of his parents, and no one would compare him with Lilia anymore, it was all her fault, and she must be punished!

For a while, he fell into a contradiction that was difficult to choose, and the two ideas kept fighting, making him unable to take a step.

In the end, Lilia stands in the sunset crying, and he can only stand in the shadows and watch her, with no way to stand side by side with her in the sun.

It wasn't until the ill-intentioned middle-aged man appeared and wanted to do something to Lilia that he suddenly came to his senses, picked up the slingshot he carried with him and shot the middle-aged man's head with a small stone, creating a chance for Lilia to escape. Later, in order to prevent the middle-aged man from chasing Lilia, he also rushed out to stop the middle-aged man, holding the other party's leg and desperately biting the other party's thigh with his teeth, of course, he was also beaten badly when he was still young, but fortunately, the park staff passed by to scare the guy away. Dio then told the staff the general situation and pointed out the direction in which Lilia had fled, and then he followed the staff to find Lilia and left quietly, without letting Lilia see him.

Because of the guilt in his heart, he wandered around for a long time before coming home, and lied that the wound on his face was caused by a fight with other children, and was severely punished by his parents once.

......

It seems that the obvious change in the relationship with Lilia began after that day, and he still didn't say it in the end, but even if he said it, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Dio thought a little distractedly, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"It's naΓ―ve. ”

He quickly eliminated those unnecessary thoughts in his mind, it was estimated that it was the sequelae of the previous loss of control, many things in the past that he couldn't even remember clearly became clear, and all kinds of thoughts were entangled with each other in his mind, this state was very unfavorable for dealing with the great enemy in the future.

Those ghouls are the consumables that consume him. Although he killed all six ghouls and gained a lot of martial arts insights, he also paid a lot of price, that kind of venting explosion consumed all his accumulated sun fire, and his physical strength was also consumed, basically that sworn enemy had achieved its goal.

It's just that he originally thought that after he killed the ghoul, that cunning guy would come out and attack him who was already in the empty building, you must know that this is the most suitable opportunity for it, and it is definitely a very good hunter, it is impossible to miss this opportunity. But it turned out that Dior waited for a long time and didn't find any movement, but waited for Lilia and his party, as if the sworn enemy had forgotten him.

Seeing this situation, he didn't wait stupidly, and simply showed up and walked with Lilia and them.

Along the way, he dragged to the rear, vigilant against the enemy hiding in the darkness for a possible surprise attack at any time, while hurrying to recover his physical strength and adjust his state.

Both he and the enemy knew very well that killing each other was a will engraved in their genes, so there would be a battle between them no matter what, and this battle was today, right here, and it would never give Dio a chance to get out of the ground, so he had to deal with this fateful battle in the best possible condition.

It just made him wonder what the enemy was doing, and what was it waiting for when all the good opportunities created by the ghouls were wasted?

It wasn't long before he knew the answer.
