Chapter 181: Envelopes

The wall clock on the wall seems to have been permanently retarded. Like a glued-on second hand, it trembled slightly with every difficult step, as if it was afraid of something.

Angus sat at the table, staring at the envelope clenched tightly in his hand, his hair burning with urgency. He clearly thought that he had been in the ammunition depot for a whole day, but the truth was that less than two hours had passed!

"Why do you have to open it at ten o'clock?" Angus slammed his fingers into his hair and scratched at them, he couldn't imagine how Owen had endured loneliness in such an environment before.

Angus laid down the envelope many times, took out the key to the ammunition depot, and slammed its tip on the table, spinning it endlessly. Angus did not regret Owen's death at all. He never really fit in with Steve and his apprentices, and was always the one who was left out. When it happened that day, he was most worried about Lanaya.

The "Little Seven" in his heart.

"Little Seven, Little Seven, the Sunset Legion is so big, do I have a chance to find you?" Angus thought to himself, his gaze falling on the blank and wordless envelope. The messenger had done his duty the night before, the envelope had not rained or wrinkled, and now it looked like it had been bought new.

Angus threw down the key, propped his chin on, and looked up at the wall clock diagonally upward. There were only five minutes left, and he usually thought that if he was given five minutes, he would not be able to do anything! But today's five minutes seemed extraordinarily long.

Xiao Qi really won't come back, right...... So, what would she say to me?

Will she always remember me?

Still is...... Forgot me?

The smell was so strong that Angus felt a little suffocated. But he didn't want to get up and go outside to breathe, for fear that the envelope on the table would suddenly disappear when he came back, or that he would miss time because he thought about something.

There was nothing to admire about the entire ammunition depot, except for rows of locked cabinets, and in the middle of it was a table and a chair, which was empty except for an envelope and a key.

And the wall clock that counts down to the point of dying.

Angus reached for the envelope again. What if you open it up a little earlier, just a while, and open it?

After a long hesitation, Angus retracted his hand.

No matter what, time will always move forward, no matter how slow, but at least it won't go back!

There is no way to turn back the clock!!

Angus glanced at the time, smiled lightly, and said to himself, "Little Seven...... Gone with time. ”

There was only one minute left until ten o'clock, and Angus's heart was beating faster and faster, and he didn't know how many times he picked up the envelope.

The seconds are counted down in the last ten steps, and Angus feels like a runner on the field, preoccupied with the sound of the gunshots, and there can be no slight difference!

Five, four, three, two, one......

Sila......

At the moment when he tore open the seal, Angus suddenly felt that the heartstrings he had been tightening were not loose, but broken. Just like his connection with Xiao Qi.

There is no intersection again.

Angus took out the paper in the envelope that had been folded in half and slowly spread it out. This piece of paper is very heavy, thick to the touch, very textured, and you can vaguely smell the faint fragrance emanating from the paper.

When Angus saw the handwriting that took up most of the paper, his hands finally trembled uncontrollably.

"Angus, I'm sorry I lied to you. I didn't fulfill my promise to you, I didn't hide obediently. I'm gone, and probably we'll never see each other again. ”

"Although I was forced by you to come, I still have a little gratitude to you. Thank you for your company, time with you, I am happy every day. ”

"But now, I have to go. From your mouth, I have come to understand that Master Steve has always been suspicious of me. Now that Master Steve has given me an ultimatum, if I do continue to stay here, it will not do you any good, nor will it do me any good. ”

"So, even if I want to stay with you anymore, there is nothing I can do. Angus, please forgive me for being selfish. Although I am gone, I will not forget what you said, I will not forget the care you took for me, I will not forget the time you saved my life, and I will not forget the time we spent together in just one week. ”

"I'm really sorry for Owen's death. I'm sorry that I made a mistake that made you so sad. If you hate me because of this, I will admit it, and I am willing to accept your abuse and curses, but I am also a strong and optimistic person, no matter how much you want me to die immediately, I will still keep my cheap life to live. ”

"By the way, there is one thing that I have been hiding in my heart, and I have decided to tell you today after thinking about it. Although I will never receive a reply from you again. Angus, you're supposed to be a master forger, right? You don't have to answer me, it's just my guess. I've talked to you about it before, and I've been exposed to some knowledge about casters. I've always been curious about the one you used that I've never seen before, and I'd love to figure out all the questions in my mind, but it's a pity that God won't give me this opportunity. ”

"I made a gift for you with the knowledge I had previously touched. It's in this envelope, you take it out and look at it. If you don't like it, don't throw it away, so you can remember me when you see it later......"

Seeing this, Angus couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly reached into the envelope to fumble for it, and sure enough, he really felt a cold ring-shaped hard object at the bottom of the envelope, and he immediately took it out.

Angus's heart almost jumped to his throat. It was a ring!

The ring is extremely finely crafted, with silver as the main material and a blue-blue crystal in the center. Angus could quickly see that this was the Phantom Snake King Crystal he had given to Lanaya that day, and it seemed that this ring really had commemorative value......

Well...... Angus suddenly laughed more bitterly than he cried, for he found that not even his little finger could fit into the ring.

"Silly little seven......" Angus said on his lips, in fact, he was already moved in his heart. He looked at his big hand and smiled bitterly, remembering that when he grabbed Lanaya's wrist, his thumb was almost able to clasp the first joint of his middle finger, could this careless girl do it according to the size of her fingers......

Angus, who was immersed in all kinds of thoughts, did not realize that a person was walking in front of him.

"Angus, you put these two for me...... What are you doing?" Steve walked in with two unknown ammunition, only to see a pile of white paper on Angus's desk, playing with something shiny in his hand.

Angus was startled, but before he could grab it, Steve picked up the piece of letter on the table.

Steve stared at the contents of the letter, his eyes kept turning left and right, his face suddenly changed, he slapped the letter paper on the table with a "bang", grabbed Angus's collar with one hand, and dragged him up from the chair: "Are you still in contact with this stinky woman?"

"No, Mr. Steve, I didn't, it's ......"

"Get out!"

With just one arm, Steve lifted Angus out of his seat, slammed the door shut, and then put two locks on it.

He wanted to see how this stinky woman could smitten Angus!

"Bang!

"Give me that letter!" Angus shouted hoarsely, banging on the door outside the house, "Open the door!"

Steve sneered, even if you use all your strength, you can't break through this door!He leisurely came to the table and sat down, slowly picked up the letter written by Lanaya and read it.

Seeing the previous paragraph, Steve sneered, this woman is also fake, how could Angus's stupid guy be hooked by such a little trick!

As if he would never give up, Angus grew stronger and stronger, and once the door protruded inward by a small margin, and then quickly recovered, almost breaking the first lock.

"You turtle grandson, what kind of ability is hiding inside!

Bang bang bang!

"Come out!!"

Steve frowned at the restless door and rolled his lips. "Noisy ......"

As he spoke, he ignored the earth-shattering movement and continued to look down. Only halfway through it, Steve's deep eyes suddenly burst into fierce rage, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Owen ......" Steve slammed his fist on the table, and the two ammunition on the table suddenly rolled restlessly in both directions, and Steve quickly got up and stabilized them again.

"Hmph, it's just a yellow-haired girl, do you think you can hide it from me if you deceive someone else?" Steve chuckled, and suddenly his face turned full of anger, picked up the letter, tore it to shreds, and threw it on the ground.

"Good walk! Good walk!" Steve stood up, his expression wild, "Know yourself, idiot!"

Then, there was a burst of laughter from inside the ammunition depot.

"Grass your grandmother, give me back that letter...... And the ring! It's the grandson who won't give it back to me!" Angus was still "trying" relentlessly, but he didn't have much strength left.

Ring?

Steve was slightly stunned, glanced at the table, and almost ignored the ring.

"It's so emotional. Steve picked up the ring on the table and took a closer look.

Steve is an expert after all, and he can see the doorway at a glance. "Tsk, it's the first time I've seen such a person who burns the qin and cooks the crane! Take the magic crystal of the Phantom Snake King as a ring, do you think that the price of ordinary crystals in the world has increased a hundred times, and you can't afford it?"

The part of the magic crystal left for Steve is not enough for a few days, and although the piece on this ring is not big, it can at least make do with it...... With that in mind, Steve squinted at the luster of the crystal and put it on his thin fingers.
