Black Chapter (eighty-six) sighs
In the dark room, dimly lit only by the moonlight outside the window, Lu Yuyao sat on the bed with a pair of headphones in her ears, and the CD player left by Zero was lying on her bed. After three days of sleep, she finally woke up just in time for today's dinner. However, she was still a little weak, and she was ordered by the "angel" to recuperate in bed for two more days. Lu Yuyao thought that these two days would be quite difficult. Luckily, Verina gave her a big surprise when she helped her clean up the dishes at night.
"What is this?" Seeing Verina put a CD on her bedside, Lu Yu asked puzzled.
"As you can see, a CD player." Verina said.
"CD player?" Lu Yuyao picked up the CD player and checked it carefully, but found nothing special, what Verina gave her was an ordinary CD player.
Verina smiled and said, "Silly girl, don't fiddle with it, this is an ordinary CD player." β
"Sister, why are you giving me a CD player? I'm not in the mood to hear that right now. Lu Yuyao turned on the CD player, and there was a CD without a cover, "You burned it yourself?" Why do you even use CDs? What a hassle! β
"Silly girl, you'll understand when you hear it." Ignoring Lu Yuyao's objections, Verina stuffed the headphones of the CD player into Lu Yuyao's ears, and pressed the play button before Lu Yuyao took off the headphones.
Lu Yuyao was about to take off the hand of the earphones, slowly put them down, and said in surprise: "Sister, where did this come from?" I've never heard of it before! It's the latest! How did it get to you? β
"I'd love to get it, but unfortunately, I don't have the skills." Verina was very satisfied with Lu Yuyao's reaction, "The person who left it, you should know, Zero. β
"Sure enough, it's him." Lu Yuyao was not surprised this time, he seemed very calm, as if he had already guessed.
Verina asked, "Do you know her?" β
Lu Yuyao didn't say anything.
"If you don't speak, I'll take you by default!" Verina approached Lu Yuyao, "Tell me, who is he?" We grew up together, why don't I remember such a person in my family? β
"Sister, you don't have to ask, I won't say." Lu Yuyao's attitude was very resolute.
"Why? What can't be said? Verina asked.
"Because, you can't say it, and you don't need to say it." Lu Yuyao closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy the content played on the CD player, "There are so many clues, so clear!" Sister, can't you really think of it yourself? β
Verina stared at the CD player, pondered for a moment, and asked faintly, "Are you sure?" β
"Yes." Lu Yuyao replied.
Verina took a deep breath and said as if to herself, "No wonder you all say that Li Fei has no use value. That guy really made a big fuss. β
"Sister, you wouldn't still be worried about that ungrateful bastard coward, would you?" Lu Yuyao's eyes burned with golden-red anger.
"I don't know." Verina sighed, got up and prepared to leave, "Yu Yao, you have a good rest!" I've decided, when this side is over, I'll go home with you. β
Lu Yuyao's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "It's good to go home, but Sister Vanessa's side, how to deal with it?" β
"Let's talk about it then! Anyway, it's better than staying here! Verina said.
"Ahh Finally! Finally free! With the cheerful footsteps, the stairs "banged", Zhuge Fox jumped down to the cafΓ© hall and pounced directly on the bar, "Lord 'Angel', I'm dying of hunger, please reward me with a delicious breakfast!" β
"Wait a minute, breakfast will be ready soon." At the bar, through the door leading to the kitchen, the voice of an angel sounds.
"I don't know which bastard ate up all the consommΓ© and salad left over from last night! I can't even deal with it first. Beside Zhuge Fox, the "magician" looked at an English magazine and said unhappily.
"Anyway, it's not me, Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess just before she went out, she untied me." Zhuge Hu said innocently, "I don't know, early in the morning, what did Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Mr. Ye go out for?" β
"The garrison sent a contact in the morning, saying that the 'Empire' had released another batch of refugees, and Miss Verina and the night had gone to resettle the refugees." "Magician" picked up the coffee pot and shook it in front of Zhuge Fox's eyes, "Have a cup?" β
Zhuge Hu waved his hand, "It's still free." I'm not used to drinking this stuff, so I'd better wait for breakfast! β
"Whatever you want." The "magician" put down the coffee pot and continued to read the magazine in his hand, while Zhuge Hu sat aside and enjoyed the scenery outside the cafΓ©.
After being quiet for about two minutes, the "magician" put down the magazine in his hand, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "Zhuge Hu, I heard that you really want to become a real magician?" β
Zhuge Fox's heart beat violently, he seemed to have guessed something, looked at the "magician" with anticipation, and said, "Yes!" I really want to! My 'sober person' ability, I guess S-class is the limit, I want more strength to protect the people I love. β
"I can teach you." "Magician" said what Zhuge Hu wanted to hear the most, "But don't be happy yet, I teach you that there is one condition." β
Zhuge Hu blurted out, "What conditions?" I promise you! β
The "magician" said, "Stay with me until I am satisfied." β
Zhuge Fox said briskly: "It's not easy! I promised! β
"Have you figured it out?" "The magician" asked unhurriedly, "Even if you want to leave this dimension, a few years, a dozen years, or even ...... Longer. β
"You're leaving this dimension?" Zhuge Fox was very surprised.
"I don't know the exact time, but it's a matter of time, if you want to learn magic from me, you must leave with me then."
"Can I take Catherine with me?" Zhuge Hu asked.
"No way!" The "magician's" reply was strong and did not allow anyone to object.
"Can you give me some time to think about it?" The thought of separating from Catherine shook Zhuge Fox's heart.
"Yes, give me the answer until the 'Empire' is done." The "magician" picked up the magazine from the bar again.
The lobby of the cafΓ© is quiet again, only in the kitchen, the smell of food gradually wafts out.
"Oh yes! What a one! If you don't sleep early in the morning, the stairs are like an earthquake! Don't let Lao Tzu sleep? With complaints, Li Fei went downstairs, "It's so fragrant!" It's good to catch up with breakfast, otherwise, Lao Tzu wants him to look good! β
"Boss, are you awake?" Put away the troubles for the time being, Zhuge Hu greeted Li Fei with a smile.
"Stinky fox, are you still unwell? Why is the smile so ugly? Li Fei patted Zhuge Fox's shoulder vigorously and sat down next to Zhuge Fox, "Mr. 'Magician', morning!" β
"Morning! While you talk, I'll bring breakfast to the little princess. The "magician" put down the magazine, went into the kitchen, and after a while, went upstairs with a plate of fine breakfast.
"Lu Yu Yao woke up?" Li Fei asked.
"The little girl woke up last night, but her body is still relatively weak, so I let her rest in bed for two more days." "Angel" walked out of the kitchen with two plates, "Li Fei, come to help, Zhuge Fox, go clean up a table and start eating." β
'Yes!' Angel's Lord! Li Fei and Zhuge Fox were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and they did their best to eat a delicious breakfast quickly.
"Okay, the last game, Li Fei be careful." In the kitchen, the "angel" handed over a basket of bread to Li Fei.
"A basket of toast, no problem!" Li Fei took the bread, but did not leave immediately, "That, Lord 'Angel', Lu Yuyao ...... her"
"The little girl is very good, but her body is overdrawn, and she slept for three more days, so she was a little weaker, and it would be good to recuperate for two more days." "Angel" asked with a wicked smile, "Huh? Why are you asking the little girl? Aren't you and her going to fight so hard? β
"It's not." Li Fei flatly denied it, "I have to fight with the 'Empire' next, I don't want her to leave any sequelae and drag us back." β
"Don't worry, it's definitely not her who is holding back." "Angel" took the lead out of the kitchen, "The guest has arrived, Li Fei, hurry up!" β
"Guest?" Li Fei followed behind the "angel" and walked out of the kitchen suspiciously, only to see a big man sitting with his back to him, chatting happily with Zhuge Hu.
"Boss! Come on! Look who's coming! Zhuge Fox stretched out his arm and kept beckoning to Li Fei.
"It's you!" Li Fei walked to the table, relieved of the bread, and his doubts turned into surprises, "Why did you come?" β
"This is the front line at the moment! Of course I'm coming! The big man stood up and hugged Li Fei, "You kid, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Where are you hiding? β
Li Fei frantically slapped the big man's arm, "Let go!" Let go! I'm out of breath! β
"Ahh I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was excited for a while, but I didn't control the strength well. The big man let go of Li Fei.
"Your strength is still so great!" Relieved, Li Fei patted his chest and gasped for breath, "Just you?" What about 'Nidhogg'? β
"'Nidhogg', disbanded, 'AI' was kidnapped by the traitor 'Tarantula', and the others ...... He's dead. "Barricades" said sadly.
"You mean, 'Shadowclaw' and 'Snow Maiden', dead?" Li Fei couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't help but confirm with the "barricade".
"Barricade" nodded and said with sadness: "Yes, they, dead." β
"How is that possible? How did they die? When did you die? Li Fei shouted, except for Verina and Winnessa, two members of the Black Rose family, the rest of "Nidhogg" can be regarded as Li Fei's friends, and they are also the goal that Li Fei once dreamed of surpassing, and now he has become a legendary figure in the circle of "sober", but the former friend and target actually disappeared like this, Li Fei was surprised and regretful.
"Don't get excited, let's sit down. Alas, after eating wild vegetables for a few days, I was finally able to catch up with a good meal. Compared with Li Fei, the "barricade" seemed very calm, and after greeting the "angel", he sat down, picked up a large piece of bread, and said while nibbling on it, "Do you remember the time when Sister Vanessa left with us after we were separated at the dock?" β
"Remember, later, you also took the time to run to the sea and saved us once." Li Fei said with a smile, and when the "angel" sat down, he and Zhuge Hu sat down closely.
"Hah! If you don't mention it, I almost forgot! "Barricade" patted his head, as if this topic did not make him feel heavy, "Then, Sister Vanessa, she took us to the Forest of Death. β
"Afterlife?" A trace of bad premonition flashed in Li Fei's heart, including the Forest of Death, in this world, almost all of the places where several "gardens" used to focus on monitoring were the advent points of the "Empire", now that I think about it, the Black Rose family probably knew that the "Empire" would come, and they were also prepared to a certain extent, but they still failed to stop the iron hooves of the "Empire".
"Yes." "Barricade" seems to have really not eaten a good meal for a few days, three or two bites solved the bread in his hand, and he couldn't wait to pick up a large piece of bread and bite off most of it in one bite, "You should have guessed, Sister Vanessa, take us to the Immortal Forest, that is, to fight against the 'Empire' with the other hidden powerhouses in the 'Garden'." Unfortunately, we failed, and Lady Vanessa was wounded in the battle, leaving Shadowpaw and Snow Maiden there forever. Not only the two of them, but the members of the 'garden' in the Forest of the Dead were almost completely wiped out, and less than five were able to escape. β
"Vanessa personally participated in the battle, how could she still suffer such heavy losses?" Li Fei didn't believe that Venesa's strength was still a lot of gap compared to the likes of "Angels" and "Visitors", but she should still be able to deal with ordinary "Empire" troops, plus she was good at wind magic, and with her help, even if the members of the "Garden" couldn't beat it, it shouldn't be a problem to escape.
"We can only be considered unlucky!" "Barricade" smiled helplessly, "In the family, in fact, it has long been judged that the Afterlife Forest will be a hard bone to gnaw, so I sent Sister Vanessa to go in person." But unexpectedly, this bone was too hard, and what descended on the forest of the dead was the blood-spear general of the 'Empire'-Langut, and the double-spear cavalry troops led by him. β
Hearing the name of Langut, Li Fei calmed down a lot, that guy's strength is not ordinary at all, the current Li Fei, even if he joins forces with Zeluo, he can only barely escape when he encounters a Langut, if you add the double-spear cavalry that is already good at complex terrain combat, it will not be surprising to defeat Vanisa and them.
"It's not very lucky to meet Langut, and to tell you the truth, I almost died under Langut's gun." Li Fei patted the arm of the "barricade", which was considered comforting.
"You've met Langut?" This time, I was surprised by the "barricades".
Li Fei nodded and said, "Well, fortunately, with the help of a friend, I barely escaped." β
"Barricade" said: "No wonder you are not so surprised to hear the name of Langut!" β
