Chapter Fifty-Eight: Do You Despise Knockoffs?
I pretended to be forced to finish it even with tears in my eyes.
"Damn—"
The first step was a slam in the air, and Nagi spun like a diver and fell off the gate he had just opened on the wall. Nagi didn't see the outside because of the harsh sunlight, so she walked out hastily and planted herself in the bushes under the castle, although it was indeed very close to the exit of the castle, but the corridor she was just staying in was not on the first floor, but on the second floor......
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Struggling to crawl out of the bushes, his newly changed clothes were cut by sharp branches and leaves, and the leaves that he had accidentally swallowed into his mouth were spit out of his mouth, and the wolf Bèi Nagi turned over a little weakly, spreading his limbs into a large figure and lying flat on the soft grass outside the bushes.
The warm afternoon sun slanted on the verdant meadows, and even though it had been autumn for a long time, you still wouldn't feel a chill when you lay on the ground, and only by staying in the dark long enough could you appreciate how beautiful the sun was. The sun always sprinkles its own light and heat on the world without reservation, smelling the smell of the sun remaining in the soft soil, feeling the warmth of the body Nagi gently closed his eyes, if he could, it may be a good choice to lie here for an afternoon with nothing to do, however, there are always a lot of troubles in this world that make people unable to enjoy life properly.
Built on a clearing at the top of a hill, Dior's castle is surrounded on three sides by handsome rock walls, with only the flatter side of the hill on the seaward side, which leads down the stone steps leading from the castle gates to the inn and the town of Winterwood below. After walking around the castle's solid exterior for most of the time, Nagi had made a long detour, but Nagi had managed to find the stone staircase down the hill with this absolutely foolproof clumsy method. Although the slope here has been much smoother than the cliffs in the other three directions, the dense and narrow stone steps that extend all the way down are still quite steep, and unlike the deserted ones I imagined, there are many residents of Winterwood Town walking back and forth on this stone step, and looking back, the gate of the castle is also completely open, and the townspeople can come and go at will. They probably came to exchange their own blood for blood essence stones, knowing that this castle was full of murderous vampires, but they all looked fearless and calm, it seemed that Dio really disciplined his subordinates quite well.
"You can see the sea. ”
Walking down the stone steps with your hands behind your back, Nagi can see the entire town of Fuyuki and the turquoise blue ocean that meets the sky in the distance, making it a refreshing sight to visit. However, perhaps under the stone steps where he was strolling gracefully, there was the dungeon where felons were held in the past, and now the blood slaves are held, but a short distance of a few tens of meters is used as a barrier, and heaven and hell are between that line.
The slope of the stone steps slowed down, and past the steepest part, the inn he had just left in the morning was close in front of him, at the halfway point between Fuyuki Town and the castle, and Nagi quietly left their group as most of the townspeople around him continued to hurry. Jumping forward on the sloping slope, trying to keep her balance from slipping, Nagi took three steps and two steps, and crept into the back garden of the inn.
It seems that a gardener has not tended to this large area for a long time, and the European-style garden, which was originally enclosed by low bushes and delicately divided into patches, has now become overgrown with weeds and looks like it has been abandoned, and even the fountain and pool in the center of the garden have dried up for an unknown time, and are now covered with unknown wild vines. The reason why she chose to sneak in from here is that Nagi thinks that if she goes through the main entrance, she will definitely be discovered by the imposter's eyeliner immediately, and if she is surprised by the snake and makes her do something crazy, won't it be worth the loss?
"We know those vampires aren't reliable at all. ”
In the dark room, a blonde girl in a plush bear pajama is boredly playing with the crystal ball in her hand, and in the lilac crystal ball, Nagi is clearly reflected in the maze of overgrown back gardens. Although Nagi's plan was fine, it was clear that she was still a little bit of a magician's ability to build a makeshift magic workshop in a different place, and what she thought was a secret operation had already been detected by several magicians living in the inn using the surveillance magic she had previously planted.
"I knew you'd be fine, Nagi......"
And beside the blonde girl who looks similar to Nagi, who was also put on cute bear pajamas, but Ancia, who was tied with a red hemp rope and thrown on the bed with shameful tortoiseshell binding, saw Nagi, who was still full of vitality although the wolf bèi was in the crystal ball, and the nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed, and subconsciously chanted silently in his mouth.
"Don't worry, soon you'll be together forever. ”
Tossing the crystal ball in her hand to the side, the blonde girl held up Anthea's chin with her hand and smiled softly, but Ancia could deeply feel that this gentle smile was just another mask for this guy in addition to the mask she could change at will.
"I don't know what the real you look like, but the imposter will never be able to defeat the real thing!"
Anthea, who had been in Martina and Ellie's room before, had to go to Chersugen for help, and Chersugan, who learned the news, ran to the second floor alone, trying to pry some information out of Paul and Tonya's mouth, but did not return. Waiting alone under the stairs of the hall for a long time, she finally found that Nagi actually ran back alone, and the overjoyed Anthea ran to Nagi's front and just wanted to say something, but found that Nagi had a trace of surprise in her eyes when she saw her, and she found the anomaly of this fake Nagi in a few temptations, but she wanted to take advantage of the other party's lack of notice to find Chersugen on the second floor, but when she just stepped out of the door half a step, she was knocked unconscious from behind, and when she woke up, she had been tied up like this and thrown on the bed。
"We're all callousing in our ears when we hear this, and you want to know what happens when those self-righteous guys die?
The palm holding Anthea's chin jerked over and grabbed the other party's head, the blonde girl smiled disdainfully, and pressed Anthea's face into the soft pillow, and her face was buried in the airtight pillow, and Anthea, who was almost suffocated, struggled desperately, but couldn't shake the blonde girl who just pressed her with one hand casually,
"We want you to see with your own eyes how our imposter tortures your real body to the point of telling us to spare it like a dog. ”
When Anthea was almost fainting, the impostor Nagi let go of her hand, she patted Ancia on the head, and whispered in the other person's ear:
"We don't even need to do it ourselves, you know?"
Sitting up and kicking Ancia who was lying limply on the bed, the impostor turned his head and turned his gaze to the darkness in the corner of the room, where a pair of bloodshot eyes were radiating a terrifying light.
"You Ruby from Rory, you can't find our two unsuccessful subordinates, it's no problem to catch a little girl, right?"
Anthea is still alive, although she looks calm and unhurried on the surface, in fact, this impostor Nagi herself is also full of anxiety and doubts, she knows very well that every resident of this inn is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Ancia who has not been killed directly is also to leave a way back for herself.
