[HP] Devil is alive

After the in-depth communication, the relationship between the Riddle brothers has taken a qualitative leap.

Tom is an extremely smart child. He quickly digested the disguise mentioned by Messiah, and used it on Lucy and other simple and deceitful courtyard children, and achieved good results.Except that Messiah would secretly make up in the back at the beginning, everyone gradually accepted Little Tom who "repented of his mistakes".

In the eyes of others, Tom's temperament has changed a lot after being abused by his adoptive parents. He returned to the orphanage full of joy, gratitude and gratitude.No longer so lonely, so gloomy, his smile is so happy, as pure and satisfied as if washed by holy water.

This transformation is easy for people to accept. The torture he has experienced is an opportunity. No one believes that a six-year-old child can have such a deep city.

They're just kids, aren't they?

Messiah pushed open the door, and they lived together again since their relationship with Tom improved.It’s just that Mrs. Cole has always disliked Tom. Although Mrs. Cole agreed to Messiah’s “rebellious behavior”, she did not change their room to a bigger one, nor did they add any more daily items in the room. punish.

There was only one bed in the small room, and Tom was flipping through the book of Messiah.Messiah has the most books in the orphanage. The nuns are very happy that Messiah is sensible and smart, and they all say that he will do great things in the future.

Tom also wondered why Messiah knew so much. He learned to read and write slowly after he was adopted last year, but Messiah could even read foreign language books.And what he taught himself, he has been deceiving the public since he was born, why can he understand so many things?Tom had thought that the Messiah was just like him, different from other children at birth.

"Tom, Mrs. Cole decided to take everyone to the beach the day after tomorrow. This time, children over six years old can go," Messiah said. "It may be three days. I think we should go to the cemetery as soon as possible. Eric They used to hide a hole on the south side of the yard, and we could go through that."

"Do you know which cemetery she is in?" Tom was a little excited, but he quickly lowered his head after glancing at Messiah.

He is still unhappy about "forgetting where his mother was buried and failing to help the Messiah".

Another reason... You can guess it from seeing that he didn't dare to look at Messiah.

"It's very close. It's just behind the church where the nuns often go to pray. It can be reached in more than ten minutes."

Tom responded and continued to flip through the book.

Messiah waited for a while, and seeing that Tom still had no intention of speaking, he sighed softly, "Tom, the cunning that will be discovered is not cunning, at most it is cleverness. Do you remember?"

Bow your head, read the book...God knows there are many words in this book that Tom doesn't know at all~~~~ "If it were me, first of all, even if I hate it in my heart, I won't show it on my face. Well, that little bird It's always the endless twitter, I really don't like it. But everyone thinks I like it right? So no one will think that I have the intention to kill it. Secondly, I will want to kill it and benefit My way. For example: Lucy and they like birds very much, I can give the bird to them who are clumsy, and then use strange abilities to kill it, and no one will suspect that I did it. Then I will be very sad ’, telling others that it’s okay, comforting them, and secretly grieving in a place where ‘everyone doesn’t know’. Ah, that’s it.”

Messiah leaned on the bed and spoke slowly with a pleasant voice, with elegant manners and gentle smiles, even if the words were creepy, they were all pure and noble on the surface.Obviously he is a very evil person, but his temperament is damn attractive. Even Tom, who heard it with his own ears, couldn't believe that Messiah had such thoughts.

Tom was stiff. His brother was really bad, but he was very good!

"Ah, you're doing pretty well, at least no one except me can see that you hate Chicha (Messiah's bird)." Messiah nodded pertinently, lying lazily on the bed, Like a Persian cat leisurely basking in the sun after a full meal.

He could see in Tom's eyes his intentionally or unintentionally hidden desire - monopoly - and he didn't like anything to distract Messiah's attention, not even smiles, greetings and eyes.

Is it because you have always had too little?Or did he have such a violent, cruel, and predatory nature?

There may be some of the former, but Messiah is more inclined to the latter, such a child is qualified to be trained as a devil, he likes~~~ "Tom, as much as you want to have, you must maintain a bigger heart than that. Don't let narrow-mindedness block your future. It's not promising."

After a moment of silence, Tom replied in a low voice as if whispering: "I remember, brother."

Messiah swooped on Tom, rubbed his cheek against Tom, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons showed his good mood.

Tom can feel the difference in Messiah to him, but what he doesn't know is how much the word "brother" affects Messiah.

The Messiah felt like he was under a kind of magic, a magic mastered by Tom, and he sang it himself: brother - when he heard this word, he completely understood why the previous mages so respected the priest's blessing curse!

It was an indescribable feeling, and he felt his heart soften in an instant.He would forget his loneliness of being the only devil, and he would want to give Tom all the good things, all the good things he knew, that would benefit him!

He felt so happy!This inexplicable feeling is really amazing!

"Okay, it's time for lunch, let's help the nuns set the dishes!" Messiah jumped out of bed and straightened his clothes.

Tom put the book back and followed Messiah to the dining room.Messiah seemed to be in a very good mood, but now, with so many courtyard boys and nuns outside, Tom couldn't guarantee how much of Messiah's happiness was real and how much was fake.

"Messiah, that bird..." Tom couldn't bear it anymore, he hadn't reached the point where he could fully see Messiah.He thought maybe he should apologize to Messiah?

Before Tom finished speaking, Messiah turned his head, "The bird fell to his death, just this morning. I thought it would wait for me obediently, but when I came back, it fell to the ground. It was a nightmare oh god..."

As Messiah spoke, his eyes immediately turned red as he recalled what happened in the morning.

Tom twitched. As expected of a brother, he could cry without onions.

Not far away, Dennis noticed the movement here, and immediately ran over, handing over his small handkerchief.

Amy beside him comforted: "Don't be sad about Messiah, we will find you again next spring!"

"Tom, you shouldn't mention this," Dennis whispered in Tom's ear. "Messiah was very sad this morning. He buried the bird in the woods by himself and didn't let us accompany him."

"Don't give me a bird, I can't raise it well, woo...I should be more careful..." Messiah wiped his tears and grabbed Amy's corner, "Woo...don't catch a bird for me again I'm so happy to have you guys compare...a thousand birds, woooo...climbing a tree...it's too dangerous..."

So, the kind Messiah was comforted by his friends again.Later Billy promises to give Messiah the bunny that Mrs. Cole promised to give him for his birthday this year.This is the so-called, get rid of things you don't like, and at the same time win a lot of benefits.

Camouflage is a fine art!The Messiah surrounded by the courtyard boys is simply a real angel (aesthetic distortion), so dazzling!so beautiful!

Tom's admiration for his brother has reached a new level...

At the same time, the desire to have an older brother and the idea of ​​making the two of them "absolutely unique to each other" also swelled...

In the middle of the night, under the bright moon, Messiah woke Tom up, and the two children got dressed to start tonight's adventure.

Messiah is in poor health and often cannot participate in everyone's games, and everyone feels very sorry.So if there is something fun, they are all willing to share it with the Messiah to make him happy.The puppy hole tucked away in the corner of the yard is one of them.

Pushing aside the grass and removing the bricks covering the hole, Messiah climbed out first, and slipped towards the church hand in hand with Tom.

Late at night in the suburbs of London, there are almost no people on the street, the doors of the old houses are closed, and the footsteps of the two children are ignored even by stray cats and dogs.After running for a while, Messiah felt that his strength was exhausted, he was out of breath and his lungs hurt.Tom found out and ran forward silently, pulling Messiah to make him spend less effort.

There is only one church nearby, which is regarded as a landmark building in this civilian area. It looks relatively new, and it is much better than the dilapidated orphanage.Behind the church is the cemetery, which happens to be the direction the Messiah came from.

Simple wooden crosses stood over the graves, some with wreaths.The grave of a local couple who died unexpectedly has not been buried, only the coffin is placed in the soil, and the soil is piled up on both sides.Such sights are annoying during the day, let alone in the dark of night.Except for the moonlight in the sky, there is no other light around, and the crosses, wreaths, mounds, and churches all look very gloomy.

Most of the people buried here are rich and powerful, or old people who have lived in the local area all their lives.Their "mother" was not qualified to be buried here, but the kind Mrs. Marlene saw that their mother and child were pitiful, and Merope was withdrawn and quick to do things during the orphanage, so she was asked by the director to be buried here .

The Riddle brothers, who had never been ordinary children, took a breath, and Tom helped Messiah roll him over, and the two began to search for their "mother".

They have only been here once so far, at the time of the full moon.Later, as they grew up, Messiah was weak, Tom acted strangely, and the nuns never brought them again.

Following his memory, Messiah quickly found Merope's tomb.The name on the tombstone is Merope Riddle, and it was Merope's last wish to engrave this name.The messianic stranger glanced casually like a stranger before stepping on the graveyard to assess the location of the skull.Tom didn't think there was anything wrong with Messiah's behavior, so he stepped on his mother's grave.

Messiah whispered to Tom, "Get her head out."

Among their brothers, only Tom can use this ability. In order for Tom to "take" Merope's skull up, Messiah even let Tom practice it on purpose.

Tom closed his eyes obediently, remembering something that made him angry as usual, and thinking about the skull he wanted.

The sound of the wind piercing through the air came, Messiah turned his head and saw a wreath falling towards him.He bent down to hide, and the other wreaths struggled restlessly on the cross.

"Tom, it's a skull, not a wreath." Messiah reminded.

Tom closed his eyes tightly, frowned and shouted: "I'm 'taking' the skull, didn't you hear the sound?"

After avoiding the third wreath, Messiah ran to Tom, who was relatively safe, and listened carefully. The sound of "dong" is still ringing, so small that if you don't listen carefully...

Messiah's expression changed suddenly, he turned his head mechanically, and the corners of his eyes twitched—the sound of "boom" and "boom" came from two unburied coffins.

He said that Tom shouldn't be able to hear this kind of sound buried in the soil...
