Winter.

In the quaint city, people dressed in the costumes of various countries gathered under a tall tower and looked up in unison.

On the eaves at the top of the tower, a black figure huddled there, with large black wings wrapped around her like a silkworm chrysalis, a black staff and an open magic book lay quietly beside her.

The pages of the spellbook jumped, and several openings were cracked in it, forming a face with eyes and mouths, a pair of white eyes rolling in its meniscus sockets, and a wicked grin on its mouth

"Don't think about suicide anymore, I told you a long time ago that witchers can only die through normal aging."

"You can't even jump!"

A voice came from below, and she lifted her face and looked downstairs, only to see several people with their hands clasped to their lips, shouting loudly upwards.

"That's right! If you want to die, hurry up and die, don't cry dad and call mother here! Don't use your wings when you jump, and don't forget to hit your head on the ground! ”

"You don't think you're important, murderer!"

"Murderer! Murderer! ”

There was a burst of laughter from downstairs, and everyone laughed and shouted at her, and the expressions of the group of people in her eyes were the same as the pages of a grinning book.

It's disgusting. That's all she can feel in her heart.

"If I don't jump now, what will they say about me." Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she spoke to the pages in a hoarse voice. "After today, let's get revenge, I'm tired of it."

With that, she took out her knife and stabbed her pair of black wings fiercely, and the gurgling blood dripped down the feathers on the eaves, and she smiled bitterly as if talking to herself, "As you wish." ”

As she said this, she turned her back to the people downstairs, leaned back, lifted her feet off the ground, and fell.

"Get out of the way, don't get your clothes dirty with the blood of this murderer!" She heard someone shouting below, and the laughter came along with the shout, and the hatred in her heart increased a little.

"If only I did die this time." She thought.

She suddenly heard a bell ring from above, and then saw a white figure flying down from the tower, and she saw the man's long golden hair tied up floating behind him, with a headdress of stars and moon pinned to his head, and a pair of golden eyes staring at her, with a determined look in his eyes.

The man stretched out a pair of slender hands, and the pale yellow shawl floated in the air, intertwined with a pair of golden wings, making the man look like an angel from below.

Chu Wan felt as if this person had some strange power, and this power aroused her desire for [life], so she raised her hand and held the other party's hand to help her. The fairy-like man took the opportunity to take her into his arms, put his hands on her ears, and prevented more ill-intentioned words from downstairs from flowing into her ears, and led her away into the distance.

They flew until they were far away from the city-state and did not stop.

"Why can't you think about it?" Before she could thank her, the woman who rescued her looked at her, and while carefully examining her outfit, she took out a bottle of blue potion from her body to heal her wings.

The blonde woman felt that the length in front of her was very beautiful, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks: short black hair, a standard melon seed face that is not enviable, a cobalt blue earring between the ears is dotted between the black hair, and the clothes are also decorated with patterns of the same color, and the crimson belt around the waist extends from the side to form a streamer, which is decorated on the black clothes is the icing on the cake. But it's a pity that this person doesn't know why he is thin and unhealthy, his face is sallow, and his eyes don't have much brightness, as if he has been sucked by someone.

"Knowingly asked. You should hear that. Her calm eyes stared at the woman in front of her who had saved her and helped her heal, although she was very happy, but she felt a little more sad in her heart, and her crimson eyes stared at the ground. They all call me a murderer, and they want me dead. ”

The woman glanced at her, caught a glimpse of the sadness between her brows, and continued to heal her wings.

Noticing the woman's movements, she looked up to meet her golden eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you? They all call me a murderer. ”

"Don't be stupid, if you want to hurt me, you can attack me before I save you. And now you don't have a weapon. The woman took out a bandage to bandage her wings, and looked up at her. Did you kill anyone? ”

"I didn't kill anyone." She answered before she finished speaking, as if she was afraid of something, and continued, "Do you believe me when I say that?" ”

"I believe what murderer would keep insisting that he is a murderer, unless he wants to go to prison, but I don't think most murderers have that kind of awareness." The woman bandaged her wings, put away her tools, and somehow pulled out her staff and the closed magic book, and glanced at the book with a meaningful expression. "Well, don't move your wings for a week. My name is Mingxin, what's your name? ”

"My name is Chu Wang." As she spoke, she took her staff and spellbook. "Thank you, and I'll repay you when I'm out of charge."

"If you want to thank me, be my friend." Mingxin didn't leave, standing in front of Chu Bang and looking at her.

"Huh?" Chu Wan seemed to be a little flattered, and looked at Mingxin with wide eyes, she took the cover of the magic book and showed it to Mingxin, "You should know what this thing is." ”

"I know, the Book of Demons, I guessed when I saw you with wings." Mingxin shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly

"Aren't you afraid?" Chu Wan put away the book and looked her up and down, "If I were you, I should run now." ”

"What's so scary? People like you generally don't take the initiative to hurt others, what am I running? "It doesn't matter if you're clear or not.

Chu Wan was a little stunned. She continued, "Why do you think that?" ”

"No, it's just a gut feeling." Mingxin suddenly looked into her eyes very seriously. "Even if you look dangerous, others think you're dangerous, but I think you're good, and there's no reason why I think you're good."

Chu Wan's eyes widened, the person in front of him was too unexpected, why hadn't he met this kind of person before?

Mingxin suddenly changed her serious appearance again, and smiled close to her cheek. "If I came to play with you every day, wouldn't you be annoyed?"

"It won't be ...... Please don't get so close. Chu Wan subconsciously moved back - she didn't like physical contact very much.

"Okay, I'll come here to find you tomorrow, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I'll go first!" Mingxin smiled and waved at her, and then used her magic book to teleport somewhere.

"Hmm." Chu Wan stared at the air, and he didn't know who he was answering.

"You're not going to like her, are you?" The Book of Demons suddenly opened, and the pages inside began to speak again. "You know you're ...... right now"

"It's just saved my life, not yet, it's just a little unexpected to me, there are still such people in the world." She turned her gaze to the Book of Demons and said, "Will I trust others casually?" Just test her. ”

Indeed, she didn't expect Mingxin to actually come the next day, because almost everyone who approached her told her that, but turned their heads and laughed at her. Even if she thought so, she waited there early the next morning.

"You know what, you're like a big lover right now." The Book of Demons opened itself again and began to speak. "You don't really think she cares about you, do you?"

"No, it won't." She sat under the tree and watched quietly at the shadows cast by the tree. "I told you yesterday, it's just a temptation, although I think that's how it turned out."

The Book of Demons didn't speak anymore, Chu Wan closed it, and waited until the evening without eating, her already thin body had begun to have severe hypoglycemia, but Mingxin hadn't come yet.

"Let's go, I'm hungry." She barely had the strength to stand up against the tree, and she felt that the sight in front of her was a little trance.

"First ——!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, and Chu Wan immediately recognized that it was Mingxin's voice, and she turned around, but one of them collapsed on the ground without standing firmly. When her vision was blurred, she faintly smelled the smell of rice.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, and it's all because I didn't tell you that I was free at this time of the night...... You haven't eaten, have you? Luckily, I guessed it, eat quickly, eat slowly, don't choke. Mingxin's tone sounded a little anxious. Chu Wan's gaze slowly recovered a little, and his hands trembled a little to catch the thing handed over by Mingxin, which turned out to be roasted cold noodles.

"Thank you." Chu Wan dug into his pocket and took out some gold coins and stuffed them into her, which also included the money she should have for her first meal. "Take it, I'm sorry to let you buy me food on the first day."

Mingxin hesitated for a while, but still accepted it, and sat down to eat with Chu Wan. While eating, she suddenly asked abruptly: "Chu Wan, if we get acquainted with each other in the future, can you tell me about the past?" ”

"Don't worry, even if I don't tell you, you'll know. The people in Castlevania more or less know these things. Chu Wan ate the roasted cold noodles and said a little vaguely.

"No, I want to hear it from you. No one knows better than an insider, does they? Mingxin looked at her.

"Others say that the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear, you are really interesting." Chu Wan laughed twice.

"Well, you have to listen to the testimony of the defendant in court for a verdict." Mingxin said with a smile at her.

"Can you promise you to believe whatever I say?" Chu Wan raised his eyebrows, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

Mingxin nodded, looking really sincere.

……

After returning home that night, the Demon Book opened the pages again and began to speak: "You should know that you can't rely on her, have you forgotten about that strange group last time?" ”

"Nope." Chu Wan was a little impatient and sighed, "Every time I get a little closer to someone else, you tell me this, don't I know what my situation is?" It's easy to test her, just tell her those things slowly after getting along for a long time, and if nothing else, she should leave me like everyone else. ”

The Book of Demons let out a cold snort: "You're still smart. After speaking, he closed it with a "snap". Only Chu Wan had been staring silently at the cover of the book - she was thinking about something else, when she fell from the upper floor, she seemed to see that the design of the cover of the Mingxin Magic Book was the same as her own, but the color was different...... Could it be that these two books were produced at the same time?
