"Where is Mr. Feifeiduo?" Lu Yuewu sat down next to Li Ou. "What did he say? Luo Xi still..."
Li Ou shook his head silently.
Two days and two nights passed, but they still did not find the female mage. Only the masked knight Crowman Feifeiduo brought back some news with his tribe members. They reported that they had found several street gangsters, who had seen Rosie. However, they still had no clue after the interrogation. The gangsters who had a conflict with Rosie still didn't know where she went in the end. [bsp; But the result was already obvious. Not far from there was the beach. Too many people saw where she was going alone, turned into the alley in a daze, and walked straight towards the beach. Not far from that was a pier.
"I think she must have left." Li Ou said softly. Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other possibility. Everyone of them thought so, right? But none of them said it.
Lu Yuewu suddenly became stupid and said, "I, I don't know what to say." She said hesitantly.
"No need to say anything, Yuewu, I don't need comfort. I'm fine." He told the female swordsman that everyone has the right to choose. Staying or leaving is everyone's freedom. "The same goes for you," he said.
"Well, Leo." She hesitated for a moment and spoke hesitantly, "At least I won't leave." She dared not look directly at Leo when she said this. She would also make the same choice as Rosie. He felt helpless and sad to realize that it was just sooner or later, but probably wouldn't leave without saying goodbye... but she was still by his side at the moment.
He suddenly felt uninterested. "I get it." He interrupted her softly and lowered his eyes. "Can you help me upstairs? I want to sleep. I'm tired."
It was already midnight when Li Ou woke up, and he slept for the whole day. But his body was still tired, suffering from the pain of the wounds, and every muscle was moaning and screaming. He no longer had any sleepiness. He tossed and turned on the bed. Finally, he struggled to get up from the bed, put on a coat and stood on the open balcony.
The sea breeze blows slowly, with a hint of chill. The gem bay is dotted with stars, and the lights are brighter than the stars in the sky. On the Crab Claw Island in the distance, the two lighthouses are like tireless stone figures, guarding the narrow channel. The flames on the lighthouse are the guard's eyes, with orange in the red, cold and hot. Several sailboats are like shadows in the darkness. Rosie also left here on such a fast long boat, right? The alchemist thought sadly that she had really left and would not come back. Even if he had a pair of wings, he could not catch up with her. He could not even see her back.
In a vague way, Li Ou seemed to hear a distant horn sound, crossing the sea and floating into his ears. But when he listened carefully, there were only the blowing sea breeze and the waves in the distance. It must be my hallucination. He thought he was still too tired. He planned to go to bed again, and after getting up tomorrow morning, he had to start facing the life of three missing ones. Everything had to look forward. She had left, and it was meaningless to indulge in the past. He could only pray to the deceased god: May she be well.
He walked towards the bed and suddenly felt dizzy. The alchemist fell on the bed, curled up together and shivered. He opened his mouth and breathed heavily, but the suffocation spread rapidly. He wanted to call for help but couldn't make any sound. His heart was pounding, like a big drum being beaten hard, and his blood vessels were leaping to the beat. His brain gradually became blank. He felt as if something was about to move in his body and was about to break out of the cocoon.
A terrifying scream suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of midnight.
He heard the room being opened, and several footsteps ran through the corridor and jumped down the stairs. "Asha, Asha." The bachelor's lady shouted loudly outside. Then he heard the sound of the lame girl's door being knocked open, and at the same time, her hysterical scream came. After a moment, only she was crying loudly after she gradually calmed down.
Something bound his body, but now it obviously had lost its original strength. He felt that his lungs had been reborn, and the invisible hand that grabbed his heart had been released. However, he still could not move at all, and he once again felt the frustration of being controlled by the Night Witch. But he knew very well that this time it was not because of her, but something evil that he had refused to face him head-on. The alchemist was gasping for breath. At this time, only his ears were normal, but his ears obviously could not jump out of bed, put on his boots, and then walked to the door and opened the door.
"Lee Ou? Lee Ou?" The female swordsman knocked on the door and called him outside.
"Um-" His throat whispered meaninglessly.
Lu Yuewu's knocking on the door became more and more rapid and heavier, and the worries in her words became more and more obvious and anxious. Then... she kicked open the door. "Li Ou?" She looked at Li Ou who was lying on the bed and was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do. "What's wrong with you?" She wanted to reach out to help him up, but she was afraid of hurting him.
The alchemist was paralyzed in the bed for a while. During this period, he could only watch the female swordsman busy and busy, looking at the obvious worry on her face. "What's wrong?" she asked constantly. But he couldn't speak, he could only look at her, hoping that she could see his eyes clearly. But even he himself didn't know what the expression was in his eyes. He avoided the female swordsman's sight for a long time than he looked at her for a moment. What am I avoiding? He asked himself.
Fortunately, this damn thing came and went quickly. His body finally recovered some consciousness. He twisted his head, and Lu Yuewu immediately stuffed a pillow full of duck down under his neck, then pulled his limbs and let him lie on his back. He could only look at the large bed curtain hanging full of crimson silk, like a paralyzed patient, letting her do it.
The alchemist hated his weakness, especially the weakness that could not be done. The lingering hospital bed made him feel uncomfortable and his irritability increased. Before Lu Yuewu could get the quilt, he struggled willfully and turned over and sat up.
"What are you doing?" said the female swordsman frowned.
“Go and see what happened?”
The female swordsman shouted loudly without any room for turning. "Lying down well." She told him angrily.
He couldn't do it. In his opinion, Asha's scream could not be a coincidence.
Lu Yuewu finally couldn't defend him. He vaguely felt that since the trial, she seemed to be accommodated by him, and her opposition and resistance became increasingly powerless. He always subconsciously avoided it. This time, the same was true. Not only because he and she were not ready, but also because, like Rosie, she chose to leave. This made everything meaningless.
Knight Tario was guarding the door with another knight. When he saw him coming down, he nodded to him.
"Please trouble you," he said sincerely.
"This is what we should do." Knight Tario replied. The red dove Eugene had already moved out of the attic, and all of these knights had no choice to leave with him. They were all like Neanderthals, and they all stayed.
In the room, Asha was holding her knees and sobbing in the corner. She buried her head, her hair drooped down, covering her face. She could only see her shoulders shaking and the sound of sniffing sounded from time to time. The bachelor's lady accompanied her, patted her back and comforted her. But it seemed that she had little effect.
Li Ou found a chair and sat down, "What's going on?" He asked with a breath of breath.
The bachelor's lady's olive eyes were full of worry. She shook her head silently, saying that she was also confused. "She refused to speak no matter what I asked. She was frightened, as if she had a nightmare."
"Asha?" he called her softly.
The lame girl stopped crying when she heard his voice. But she shrank her body tighter and buried her head deeper. She kept trembling. The soft comfort of the bachelor's lady made her find support. She buried her head in the bachelor's lady's arm and tried her best to stay away from him, as if he was the source of her fear.
That way they couldn't ask anything. The alchemist told the bachelor's, "She needed a dose of calming the mind."
The fern moss in the potion quickly played a role. The lame girl's breathing gradually became flat. She stopped crying, and her hands, which were tightly clasped on her knees, were no longer tense, and slowly relaxed.
"Asha?" The bachelor's lady straightened her scattered hair and showed a pale and fearful face. "Are you better?"
"I... Miss..." She opened her mouth and tears came out again.
"What's wrong?" the bachelor's lady asked worriedly while wiping away her tears, "Have you had any nightmare?"
The lame girl nodded gently.
"What did you dream of?" Li Ou asked quickly.
Asha glanced at him in fear, then quickly looked away in panic. "Some, very terrible monsters...some, shouting to kill..." Her voice seemed to whisper, as if as long as she said it loudly, once everyone knew it, it would bring unimaginable terrible consequences. "There are also ships, swords..."
Her body must be as cold as ice. She was trembling, her lips were blue and her face was as white as the dead. She lowered her eyes and spoke softly about her dreams in fear. In her dreams, the sound of trumpets sounded like ancient and vast warships rushed to the bay. The flags were waving on the ship, everyone was wearing armor and holding axes and shields. They shouted with the sound of trumpets. Behind them, she seemed to see the turbulent souls, no faces. They danced up and down, making a harsh smile. They brought blood and fire. They pushed down the city walls, killed all the living people, and burned the city. What Asha saw before she was awakened was the alchemist's hideous bloody face, and his hand was covered with blood.
Leo smiled and shrugged, "I can't think of dreams." He told everyone. He forced himself to talk to them for a few words, and then left with excuses. He no longer had to ask what the flags of those ships were, and he already knew the answer.
"Li Ou." Lu Yuewu, who was holding him, suddenly said hesitantly, "You... forget it, I know you can't say anything."
The alchemists didn't speak. They returned to the room in silence. When they climbed into the bed, Leo suddenly spoke, "I was just thinking, why would Asha have such a dream?"
However, before he could speak, Lu Yuewu interrupted him loudly, "Enough!" There was anger in her eyes. "This is not the truth. It's just a dream, you have explained too much!" She turned around and put her right hand on the door handle. "I know why Rosie chose to leave you." This sentence was accompanied by the sound of the door being closed heavily.
