Crown of Silence

Chapter 490 The Secret of the Past

"It seems that every time at the most critical moment, your friends will always stab you hard."

In the hidden safe house, Laura looked down at the embarrassed Ye Qingxuan and gloated: "Gavin was like this that time, and it is still like this time.

If I were you, I would definitely consider whether there is something wrong with my concept of choosing friends."

"..."

"Who told me that if something happens, I will run faster than anyone else? If I hadn't paid attention to it this time, you would have... hehe..."

On the bed, Ye Qingxuan was covered with a thick layer of ointment, exuding a strong and pungent smell of medicine, and his hands were injected with medicine.

Even though he was on the verge of death, he was lingering, but his breathing was steady and normal. There was no gloom or confusion under his dark blue eyes, only calmness.

"Enough of the sarcastic remarks, let's get down to business."

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, his voice hoarse:

"Bring the things here."

Seeing that he was unrepentant, Laura snorted coldly and threw out a holy emblem from her arms: "You have a rich imagination, letting a demon keep this thing for you."

The holy emblem made of pure silver made a hissing sound in her hand, and it was obviously causing harm to her every moment.

But when held in Ye Qingxuan's hand, a faint light lit up, and the bruises quickly dissipated.

"Wait, I'll go out and you can use it, don't affect me."

After throwing away the thing, Laura walked out the door as if avoiding pests.

In Ye Qingxuan's hand, the pure silver holy emblem was engraved with the healing music of the Holy Chant School, and it was the most advanced one, claiming that as long as he was not dead, he could definitely be rescued with a breath of air.

This one-time holy emblem alone can be sold at a jaw-dropping price on the black market.

After all, it is a precious alchemical equipment that represents a life.

Even with the door closed, Laura could still feel the pricking sensation. She took a few steps outside. Even so, she could still sense the extremely unpleasant breath descending into the secret room.

Then, a huge ether wave that she had never expected was set off.

In a flash, she felt a roaring melody burst out from the sea of ​​ether, and the terrifying wave swept in all directions, pulling a large amount of ether into it.

That was definitely not the level that Ye Qingxuan could achieve, but a terrifying range that was several times beyond his ability.

The holy light brewed from the ether, and the blazing light was beyond Laura's expectations. Even with two walls and a distance of more than ten meters, Laura still felt a burning sensation.

Even breathing is like chewing blades and needles.

If Laura hadn't bought that thing herself, she would have suspected that it was a master from the Chant faction who was treating Ye Qingxuan here.

Fortunately, the power came quickly and went quickly.

Soon, the sound of pushing the door rang out.

In her stunned eyes, Ye Qingxuan walked out from behind the door intact.

Although there was still a strong smell of medicine on his body, his body had completely recovered, and there was not even a slight wound.

The guy who had broken more than a dozen bones, black and blue all over his body, and half of his lungs had lost their function, now stood in front of her intact.

"What medicine did you take?" Laura was stunned: "Recovered so quickly!"

Even after treatment, most people just passed the critical period smoothly, how could they be like Ye Qingxuan, who was directly revived with full blood, as if he had changed his body!

"The biggest mistake Wolf Whistle made was forgetting to cancel the bell tower blessing given to me by the Silent Agency."

Ye Qingxuan looked at his intact hands, and with a flick of his fingers, a solid ether light burst out: "Don't forget, I am still a master now."

Lola frowned: "What are you going to do? Ye Qingxuan, you are already too deeply involved in this matter."

"That's why Gaius must be caught back."

Ye Qingxuan's answer was firm: "If Gaius is not caught, then the Holy City must need someone to take the blame... Do you think that by then, Charles and I will be better off?"

Lola was silent.

"It's really embarrassing. I was tricked by him." Ye Qingxuan twisted his neck: "I have to get my money back with interest."

"I have to make it clear in advance that although I am happy to kill Bach's students, I have been disabled for so many years and I am no match for that guy."

Lola looked at him as if he was a madman:

"Or do you think you can do it alone?"

"The wolf flute did teach me a painful lesson."

Ye Qingxuan asked back: "When have I ever faced the enemy head-on? Haven't I always been making a living by being mean? Why do I have to fight him, a scepter musician head-on?"

"..."

Lola was speechless and could only shake her head: "It's been more than half an hour now. Are you sure you can catch up?"

"I can catch up."

Ye Qingxuan raised his hand. At the tip of his finger, in the only wound that had not healed, there was a dim and slender line of moonlight, extending to an unknown direction.

"To be honest, this is the first time in all these years that I have been beaten so badly and miserably..."

He stared at the thought thread on his fingertips with a cold smile: "Fortunately, so much blood was shed and was not wasted. What should I say? He is worthy of being the leader of the revolutionary army. He is more courageous than I imagined..."

"——Gaius has not left, he is still in the Holy City."

——

Loud and chaotic noises came one after another from the distance, screams came from the streets, and people ran in chaos.

In the silent Tower of Judgment, there was only a lonely figure standing among the ruins.

After being attacked by the revolutionary army, all the criminals were transferred to other prisons and the prison was temporarily abandoned. According to the plan, a new construction team will arrive here in a month.

But now, there is only ruins here.

Originally there were guards guarding the place, but when the chaos spread, the guards had all been transferred out urgently.

In the end, amid the desolation, a lonely old man was left on the steps of the broken tower. He was wearing a cloak, sitting on the steps, smoking his pipe silently, his eyes staring at the black clouds rising in the distance.

Until a sharp dagger was pressed against the back of his heart.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to find me, Ciel."

Gaius put down his pipe and raised his hands with a sigh.

"Actually, you have thought of it a long time ago, right? Mr. Constantine." Charles stood behind him expressionlessly, "Why do you look so shocked?"

On the back of his hand holding the dagger, an insubstantial thread of water vapor dissipated in the wind.

"Bolero".

Ye Qingxuan was not the only one who pinned his thoughts on Gaius, Ciel was even earlier, and he was far better at this piece of music than Ye Qingxuan thought.

"Are you asking me why I would do something like that?" Gaius slowly turned around and stared at the young man behind him.

Charles remained silent and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I originally wanted to ask, but now it seems there is no point in asking."

He shook his head slowly: "I originally thought you had hard reasons. Even if I was an undercover agent, I would feel sorry for you. But now it seems that I should keep the regret to myself."

"The funniest part is actually right here, Ciel."

Gaius looked at him: "While alive, there are always times when you need to act. You act, I act, everyone is acting... Over time, you will be immersed in the drama you create.

Sorry, I lied to you. "

He apologized.

But Charles didn't feel any relief or happiness. Instead, he wanted to laugh: "Apologise? Do you just want to say this kind of thing to your scapegoat when you stay here? At least say something else, sir."

His tone turned cold: "Say something that makes me willing to take the blame for you, so that I can trust you like I did in the past."

"You made a mistake, Ciel."

Gaius shook his head and said softly: "I stay here waiting for you to come to me, not to make you my scapegoat, I just want to tell you: you don't need to be anyone's scapegoat.

You could have lived uprightly in this world without having to bow down to anyone..."

His voice was interrupted by Ciel.

"The smell of the overnight chicken soup has gone bad, sir, and I'm going to vomit. Can you change it to something else?"

His smile disappeared, and his expression showed unprecedented indifference:

"In three minutes, Ye Zi will probably be here. If possible, I don't want him to see your body. So, say something that makes me willingly put down the knife."

Gaius lowered his head and stared at the dagger on his neck. The dagger cut the skin of his neck, and a trace of dim blood penetrated from the wound.

"Char, have you never had any doubts about your life experience?"

He sighed and suddenly asked softly: "You should have realized the difference between yourself and others when you were very young. You are different from ordinary people.

You were born with talents, talents, and all kinds of incredible miracles, but haven't you ever thought about where you come from?

You shouldn't have ended up in a ditch like this, Ciel. "

Gaius stared solemnly at the young man in front of him and said word by word: "Those losers don't know how terrifying your power is. The Silent Organization even uses you as cannon fodder... Those idiots don't understand at all. They missed it." What kind of thing! Even... your mother would feel sorry for you if she saw you like this!"

Ciel was stunned.

"What did you say?"

His expression became gloomy: "Mr. Constantine, don't waste my last patience!"

Gaius raised his hand and showed him the yellowed old photo in his hand.

That seemed to be a group photo taken a long time ago.

In the photo, there is a young Gaius, an oriental with pure white hair, a demon hybrid, and many others, but Ciel's eyes are fixed on the corner.

There, there was a young woman with a vague face.

Her hair was a fiery red, as if burning in ancient times.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

"Have you ever dreamed of her?"

Gaius asked softly: "She wants to protect you until her death, even if she is defiled by others and devoured by monsters... Charles, don't you want to know where you come from?"

He stepped forward slowly and took off the dagger from Ciel's hand.

"Come with me, Ciel."

He pulled Ciel and walked towards the broken tower:

"I will tell you...all the secrets about you..."

I'm stuck, I have no love in my life.JPG
