flower and big devil

Sister Maria looked at the dark-haired young man in front of her with a numb expression on her face and raised her hand to touch her cheek. There was a bloodstain on the wound, and the nun let out an exclamation of "Yeah" while the black-haired young man frowned slightly.

But Luo Xiu didn't react too much, although at this moment he felt his stomach sinking, and the real feeling when he cut off the head of the pigeon in the dream came back to him three-dimensionally again - Luo Xiu subconsciously He lowered his head and looked, he was relieved after seeing the familiar jeans and T-shirt on his body, stood up and patted his butt, and smiled apologetically at the nun who looked up at him inexplicably.

"Probably when I was sleeping, I accidentally scratched my nails." Luo Xiu said in a very calm voice.

"That's really careless. We will trim your nails regularly, just because we are afraid that you will hurt yourself." Sister Maria frowned remorsefully, "Although you have just joined, it is hard to imagine that I have That kind of ignores the point."

"Even when a normal person is sleeping, he will hurt himself by scratching subconsciously." Luo Xiu smiled, and then said in the tone of a lunatic that everyone expects, "And I prefer to use my own nails instead of having my nails trimmed." way of biting."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the lovely nun in front of him looked at him with a slightly changed look—compassionate, and full of ridiculous sympathy.

Luo Xiu pretended that he didn't understand the look in his eyes. He put his hands into the pockets of his jeans with a very natural movement before Maria set his eyes on his hands—his dryly trimmed His clean and neat fingertips gently slid across the somewhat hard fabric of the jeans, and then in the right pocket, he touched a small, hard, angular thing.

It was the flea egg that Alicia gave him.

It's still in his pocket.

A normal, non-existent egg, not a mass of flesh flying around him like a fly.

Luo Xiu rubbed his fingertips on his pocket thoughtfully, at this moment, he heard the girl standing beside him who almost reached his shoulder seemed to be talking to him——

"Let's go back indoors," Sister Maria seemed to suggest, though she was indeed giving a soft order, "it's dinner time in a minute, and I think you should get to know someone else before then. "

Luo Xiu nodded quietly, no matter how good the sun is outside now, he doesn't want to stay here anymore - the ubiquitous pigeon calls make him feel uncomfortable, and he always feels that the pigeons on the tree are quietly Looking at him, it's like spying on his every move every second... This strange guess comes from the too real nightmare before, Luo Xiu thinks, if this goes on, maybe he will really become an unreal person. Outright lunatic.

He began to regret why he followed the original dream to Buddha Luomen Asylum.

In contrast, now he would rather stay at Aunt Mary Sue's house and spend his life mediocrely in various living environments that don't look so beautiful but are definitely within the normal category.

"Before going to the common room, I think you need to go to the medical room to wipe the disinfectant first." Sister Maria stood up from the grass holding her skirt. She patted the weeds on her body and smiled. Looking at Luo Xiu, he said, "Look, the wound is still bleeding. If you let other people see it like this, it will probably cause them panic."

Luo Xiu froze for a moment, and then realized that he had no other choice but to nod again. He followed Sister Maria and the two walked towards the ancient building not far away— ——Under the shadows, Luo Xiu seemed to feel that the big open door at this moment seemed to be a monster hidden in the darkness, opening its hideous black mouth, waiting to devour everything...

A few minutes later, Luo Xiu returned to the main building of Buddha Monroe again.

It's strange that the sunlight outside doesn't seem to be able to shine into this building at all. The interior of the building is very dark, and even the existence of the ray of sunlight pouring on the statue of the saint has become extremely awkward and stiff... the warmth of late autumn outside The breeze didn't seem to be transmitted to the building at all. One foot stepped on the thick and gorgeous classical carpet in the front hall, but one could feel the cold air coming from the bluestone brick floor under the carpet.

Every time you step into this building, it feels different.

Now, what he felt to Luo Xiu was only bone-chilling cold.

Luo Xiu shivered, and glanced thoughtfully at the girl walking in front. The latter didn't seem to feel the slightest difference, but curled his lips more happily, humming an unknown song, and Even the corners of their eyes were smiling... They clambered up the ancient spiral staircase, stepped on the carpet quietly and walked through the long corridor, and finally, they stopped at the door of the previous common room, Ma Sister Leah glanced back at Luo Xiu, showing a comforting smile that probably wanted him to relax, and before the black-haired young man behind her had time to say anything, she put her hand on the vintage doorknob. superior--

There was a click, accompanied by the sound of the lock bouncing, a warm, human temperature came from the crack of the door, and the beautiful and light songs that seemed to never stop in the common room also poured out .

There were a lot of people in the lounge. There was an old man with gray hair who was mumbling German and playing chess with himself. There was a middle-aged woman lying on the sofa with her eyes closed. Luo Xiu thought she was sleeping, but saw Her fingers were interlaced on her chest and she was changing gestures; there was a young man with lively freckles on his cheeks, and he was lively enough to dance on the rug in the center of the lounge. Looks like tap dancing, kinda like ballet...

The entire common room was full of people, but no one was talking.

They are peacefully immersed in their own world.

In the depths of the lounge, there was a window with the curtains completely drawn, and beside the window stood a beautiful young man about the same age as Luo Xiu—to be precise, he seemed to be more beautiful than Luo Xiu, with a soft and charming face. His facial features surpassed almost all the women Luo Xiu had ever seen—this beautiful young man with blond hair was cleaning the windows, Luo Xiu wondered why the whole common room was resting and he needed labor—but when he When he saw clearly that the young man's hand seemed to be rubbing against a certain place without stopping for a moment, Luo Xiu immediately realized that the reason why he cleaned the window was not because someone asked him to do it, he just...

Simply want to clean the windows?

...Is this implying that cleanliness is also a kind of neurosis?Luo Xiu thought humorously, but he politely didn't laugh out loud.

Following Sister Maria into the living room, Luo Xiu saw Sister Maria turn off the ancient musical instrument placed at the door. When the music stopped, for a moment, Luo Xiu thought that he would get the whole rest The attention of everyone in the room-but soon he found that he was wrong, and wrong too much-in the common room, people continued to do what they were supposed to do, and even the dancer didn't stop him The beat is still dancing.

The only person present who responded was a woman who suddenly appeared from behind the sofa.

Her hair was messier than when Luo Xiu saw her before. I don't know if it was an illusion. In the dimly lit lounge, the nasolabial folds on Alicia's face also became deeper...

Alicia looked haggard, and her eyes were full of broken nerves.

Luo Xiu followed her gaze, but when his gaze touched the scene he witnessed, he subconsciously held his breath——

Instead, he saw a familiar face.

A middle-aged man with dark brown eyes, he had stared at Luo Xiu with a bloody head a few minutes ago, but at this moment, that head was attached to his neck, and the man was sitting in the corner Here, flipping through the book quietly - he wasn't reading, he just quickly flipped through a book from the beginning to the end, then combined the books, and repeated the previous action.

But Ailijia was carefully watching him turn the pages of the book.

Luo Xiu's whole body was stiff, and now he saw the woman who gave him a hint in the dream together with the middle-aged man who turned into a huge black pigeon. Everything in the dream seemed to overlap with reality, making him unable to continue pretending The world is peaceful and everything is fine. For a moment, Luo Xiu only felt that he had countless questions rushing into his mind, and he wanted to ask Alicia a lot—so before he realized anything was wrong, he stepped forward and grabbed Caught the Elbow of the Woman Standing Behind the Sofa!

Alicia gasped, turned her head, stared at Luo Xiu as if looking at a stranger, and then screamed without warning!

There was an instant chaos in the common room.

The dancer stopped dancing and hid under the table in panic; the old chess player knocked over the chessboard and shrank to the corner of the sofa; the old man's ass sat on the lap of the woman who was sleeping on the sofa before, The woman who had her eyes closed opened her eyes suddenly, and sat up straight from the sofa like a zombie. She pushed the old man on her lap, and a series of... like What are the words of the ancient Cambodian language...

The man flipping through the book raised his head and gave Luo Xiu a sinister look, then his book slipped from his lap and fell on the carpet.

Luo Xiu was stunned.

Before he was so shocked that he forgot to take back his hand on Alicia, Luo Xiu heard the scream of Sister Maria from behind him, and she asked him to let Alijia go in panic, but Luo Xiu did not do so. Do it, and then, he felt a sharp pain from his calf, as if someone beat him desperately with something from behind, and he also heard something hit the jeans That crackling sound——

The sound became louder and louder, and the force on his calf became heavier and heavier, until there was a loud "crack" that was almost frightening, and the black-haired young man finally came back to his senses, he groaned in pain. He twitched, his eyes sank, and he was about to turn around and do something to the person who beat him desperately, but at this moment, he felt that his entire back suddenly fell into a warm light with a faint sunlight outside. In the embrace of fragrance——

A long and powerful arm gently wrapped around his waist.

At the same time, a large hand in a white glove covered the hand he was holding on Alicia's elbow, and gently took his hand off the woman's body.

"Take it easy, Alice, my kitty, you'll scare her."

The man's voice from the top of Luo Xiu's head was low and full of magnetism, as if he was born with a faint smile, and possessed the power to calm people down...

The black-haired young man was surprised to feel that his body, which had been extremely cold and stiff since he entered the building, was relaxed by the continuous warmth from his back at this moment, and at the same time, the arms that bound him were also relaxed. After a hard effort, he easily hugged him out of the range of being able to touch Alicia - really hugged him, because for a moment, Luo Xiu confirmed that his feet were lifted off the ground.

He was like a giant teddy bear, easily carried around in someone's arms.

The blue veins on his forehead twitched, he turned his head, raised his head slightly in a posture that almost broke his neck, and barely saw a perfectly curved jaw.

And the next second, a palm landed on his head, rubbing his soft black hair, as if comforting a frightened young beast.

The tall and handsome man who appeared in the lounge at some point raised his lips and smiled: "Be good, be quiet."

Luo Xiu: "..."

The man's voice seemed to have magical powers, and the common room, which was still in chaos a second ago, suddenly fell into silence—then, after Alicia jumped into the arms of Sister Maria with a face full of horror When he was in the middle, Luo Xiu saw a black training stick in the hands of the nun, which was obviously the thing that just hit his calf...

When Alicia leaned in the arms of Sister Maria and carefully aimed her panicked eyes at Luo Xiu and began to cry, everyone else in the common room acted as if nothing had happened , quickly adjusted themselves, and returned to the things they were doing before—everything was so orderly as if they were proceeding according to the script.

This scene should have made Luo Xiu feel horrified.

But now he doesn't feel that way.

Being hugged by a man who was almost a stranger to him, Luo Xiu felt at this moment that his nervous system suddenly relaxed and turned into a puddle of spring water, and he never wanted to leave this warm place again. place.
