"Why did you go? How could you be scolded by Mrs. Darker?, and what did you mean by 'get out'?" Alan didn't understand what he was saying, and asked a bunch of questions.

"Uh...... This ......" Riel put away his umbrella, sat down in the living room, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I'm going to find Alyssa." ”

"You...... Went to her house?" Allen's eyes widened with surprise.

"Ah...... Well...... She said to follow the road to the end, and I tried knocking on the door...... She was also taken aback. Riel habitually scratched his head, looking distressed, "But before I could say a few words to her, I ran into Mrs. Dalk coming back from outside...... Then they drove me away, and said that they should not disturb Alyssa or anything like that in the future......"

"Uh...... Then it seems that Mrs. Dark's discipline of her is really strict, which is a bit outrageous......" Alan didn't know what to say, and thought about it for a long time before saying this.

"yes......" Riel echoed as he seemed to be still distressed by the incident.

Then they both sat on the couch and didn't talk until Riel felt hungry, so he got up and went to the kitchen to get a sandwich, and asked Alan, "Would you like one too?"

Alan nodded and said, "Actually, I've been hungry for a long time." ”

Riel comes out of the kitchen with three in his hand, one for Allen, and two for himself, because he has to eat two at a time to be full.

"Hey, I said......" As soon as he took a bite, Riel asked again, "Shouldn't we see Alyssa for months......?"

Alan shook his head and didn't speak.

Rare didn't know if he was saying "I don't know" or "no", so he had to keep his head down and eat the sandwich silently.

But for the next two months, Riel really got right, and he really never saw Alyssa again.

He often went to the intersection where Alyssa went home, but he could only see Mrs. Dalk going out or coming home, and he didn't even see Alyssa's shadow, she seemed to have evaporated from the world, and she disappeared with a "boom".

There is no noisy noise, and there is rarely sunshine, and they accompany them through another summer, except for rain or rain. Except for the occasional sunny day, when Alan would visit old Adrian with Riel, he spent almost all of his time on books. Riel still couldn't stay in the house, and he had to go out every day whether it rained or not.

Every day until one night in mid-July.

It was midnight, and Eren had a rare nightmare. He dreamed that Mr. Connor told him that his parents were back, and he excitedly went to the door to greet him, but when the door was pushed open, no one came in, and he desperately looked outside, but all he could see was pitch black, and suddenly he was pushed from behind by someone and fell into the darkness...... He was awakened.

Alan sat up from the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed his eyes again, heard that it was still raining outside, and knew that it had just happened. Riel slept soundly, and was snoring a little. Alan lit the magic lamp on the wall, and when he saw that it was just after twelve o'clock, he was ready to lie down and go back to sleep. But just then, he heard a soft door door bell.

"Someone came in, or did someone go out?" thought to himself. I was already very disturbed by the dream just now, and I was even more nervous at the thought that a stranger might come in.

He quietly got out of bed, looked out the window, and saw that someone had indeed gone out, because the person was holding a magic firefly wand in his hand. But because of the dim light, Alan couldn't tell that he was tall or short, and he didn't know what spell he had cast on Anna, and Anna didn't even have the slightest intention of reaching out to the vine to grab him. Then what surprised Alan even more was that this person didn't go far, but walked into his house!

Don't...... Is Daddy really back? Alan remembered the dream he had just had, and his heart fluttered. But Alan thought again: No, it can't be, if Dad is back, why would he choose to act quietly at this time instead of coming to see me?

Just when Alan was upset, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the lamp in his house that had not been turned on for more than ten years! This lamp not only illuminated his home, but also illuminated every corner of Allen's heart. He almost couldn't control himself, frantically trying to find out who it was, but when he wanted to push the door and follow, he found that he didn't have much courage, because he knew in his heart that if he was really a stranger, with his ability, he couldn't help him at all, and something more dangerous might happen.

Thinking of this, Alan gently nudged Riel with his hand, but Riel didn't know what to mumble a few words in his sleep, turned over and fell asleep again, and kicked him.

Alan had no choice but to decide to observe and observe again, and then act on the opportunity. He went to the window again, and this time he took out his glasses from the drawer and lit the magic lamp on the table, trying to see more clearly, after all, the two of them were next to each other, only a dozen paces apart. But just when he put on his glasses, the lights in his house had gone out. Eren could only judge the position of the man based on the position of the glowing rod in his hand. But the strange thing is that Alan thought that he should go far this time, but on the contrary, he turned back!

Alan quickly extinguished the magic lamp on the table, but it seemed to be too late, because he saw the man stop in place for a moment, seemed to see the light on the second floor, and then hurried this way. Frightened, Alan took off his glasses and hurried back to bed, where he heard another door bell and the sound of someone tiptoeing up the stairs.

Alan didn't dare to make a sound at all, covered half of his head with the quilt, and slept on his side facing the wall, and then he heard the door open! Although the sound was very soft, Alan could be sure that it was indeed opened! At this time, Alan couldn't even control his breathing, his heart was beating up and down very fast, and he could only make his breathing look as light as possible.

The man quietly walked over to Rare's bed and looked at it, then walked over to Alan's bed and looked at the table.

"Huh. The man chuckled softly.

Only then did Alan remember that he just took off his glasses and put them on the table in a panic, but forgot to put them back in the drawer! Now Alan was even more panicked, his brain was blank, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. To his surprise, however, the man did not seem to linger, but walked out of the room, as Alan heard another soft "squeak" and the door was opened again.

Alan felt uncomfortable because he had been in this position for a long time, but he was not sure if the person had really left, so he didn't dare to make a rash move. He just pricked up his ears and listened carefully to every sound, but because of the sound of rain outside the window, he didn't really feel like he was listening to anything. Time passed, and he felt more and more sleepy. I want to sleep but I don't dare to sleep, that kind of taste is really uncomfortable. I don't know how long it was, but another heavy sleepiness struck, and he finally couldn't resist it anymore, and fell asleep again in a daze......

The next morning, when he woke up, he felt a pain in his neck. Riel had already gone out, and when he went downstairs, he found that Mr. and Mrs. Connor had gone to work, and he was the only one left in the house.

He remembered what happened last night and wondered if it was true.

"Is it another dream?" he hurriedly took a few sips of cereal porridge and wanted to ask Anna for clarification.

"Good morning, Alan, didn't you sleep well last night?" Anna saw that his eyes were dark, and he was about to have dark circles.

"Hmm...... Probably because I've been dreaming......" Alan replied. "By the way, there's something I want to ask you...... Were there any suspicious people who came in and out of this house last night?"

"When?" asked Anna.

"Hmm...... It was about midnight, after we all went to bed. ”

"No, I usually sleep very lightly, and one of my vines is on the door, and if anyone touches this little door, I'll know it at once. Anna replied decisively.

"Oh......" Alan lowered his head, increasingly suspicious that everything he had seen last night was actually a dream.

He walked over to his room again, "Hey, Lilith, good morning." He greeted.

"Good morning, Alan, didn't you sleep well last night?" Lilith asked the same question.

"Hmm...... Last night I dreamed about something very strange. ”

"Oh, what's weird?" said Lilith, curious.

"Uh...... It's okay, it's all a dream anyway, it's gone. ”

"Oh, okay then...... You still have to go out and walk like Riel does, and if you are always bored in the house, you will inevitably have cranky thoughts and are prone to some strange dreams. Lilith said.

"Hmm...... I know. Alan said with a smile. "By the way, I think...... Well...... Can you go in and have a look?"

"Of course, this is your home...... You haven't been in since your parents left home. Lilith said worriedly.

"Well, I just want to see where I used to live before I leave Beya. ”

"Then go inside, the key is under the second pot on the right windowsill. ”

Alan walked into the yard and began to feel a little excited, after all, he had not entered the house in fourteen years, except when he was very young, when he came in and visited the house with the Connors. In his heart, he had already regarded Mr. and Mrs. Connor as his family, and that house as his home.
