[Black Butler] Ate that spider

Three days

There are still three days until the deadline.

Torrance determined the time according to the changing full moon in the sky when the mysterious man delivered the food.These days he has realized that the food delivery person can't save him, and Claude is nowhere to be seen.Well, let him do it himself.

He clenched his fists, looked at Shire who was burning more and more, and silently swore in his heart, I will rescue you, absolutely, absolutely, I will not let you die in this kind of place!

In the dark, in the damp underground, the only witness was still in a coma, so no one saw it. At this moment, Torrance's eyes were as hard as sapphires.

Torrance has always been a man of contradictions, the weakness of a coward and the courage of a warrior are hidden in his heart at the same time.When there is a hard shield in front of him to protect him, he will be soft and harmless like a snail, but when the shield is taken away and the enemy continues to attack, he will immediately become a shield that disappears, even worse than the original shield. hard.At this moment, his eyes are so strong, and his heart is so brave.It didn't draw some kind of energy from the stars or the moonlight, the only strength was the mood that I didn't want to lose no matter what.

He liked being with Charles.

He likes Claude.

He even had a penchant for Hannah the Stupid (actually Luca).

In the past, he felt that there was no difference between living in the world and dying, because living was so painful and he had nothing.So he gave up on himself, and deeply loathed even his dirty and filthy self. It would be better for such a disgusting self to disappear as soon as possible.

But. . .

"Shut up, idiot!" Shire, who would beat him on the head angrily, no matter how many things he did to make him angry, he would still stand by his side without hesitation when he needed it.

"Hey, try the food I made." The idiot Hannah who would serve herself all kinds of strange colors and dishes, but always secretly helped herself plot against Charles when she and Charles were arguing.Afterwards, with a lot of presents in his arms, he ran to find Charles wagging his tail.

Also, Grandpa Tanaka who can only transform for 1 minute, the idiot trio of the Shire family, the three brothers of his own family, and of course, the last. . .

The man smiled and stroked his hair, the tenderness never changed.

Before I knew it, the self who could only cry alone in the dark, the humble self who would never be ignored no matter how loudly he cried, was surrounded by people.Even in the dark, he didn't feel afraid, because they were always with him.

Of course I know that the world is treacherous, and I also talk about the unpredictable people every day, and despise all the darkness in the world, but. . .He is a fool, willing to use his humble heart to believe that these people standing beside him will never change.

Is there nothing permanent in this world?

No, yes, he thought of the person who had always treated him tenderly, there are eternal things in the world.

Because that's what he believed.Torrance is not living on the nostalgia for the world, but on the fetters of the people in the world.Then, Andre who wants to take away Claude and Shire is not only taking away a lover, a friend, but also the whole meaning of Torrance's life in the world.

How could it be possible for you to take it away!

Torrance felt a red hot flame scorching his heart, drying the blood, and boiling the soul with its heat.

Come on, this time, I will use my own hands to grab important things, and no one can take them away!

He started digging a hole in the wall of the pit with a porcelain jar filled with water. It didn't need to be too big, just enough for his hands and feet to cling to.As long as the wall was covered with holes the size of a fist, he could climb up by stepping on them.Get Shire up after going up, and they will go to Claude and Sebastian together and tell them Andre's true face.

Yes, that's how things should go.

He spent the night digging the hole, and the next morning he climbed to the hole, reached out, trembling, touched the turf, and pushed up with all his strength.

Not moving.

Torrance didn't give up, and exerted even more strength than before. His hands were flushed under the pressure, but the turf still didn't move.With this force, he felt that there seemed to be a transparent film on the turf, which could not be broken through by his strength.

Disappointment and despair swept over him at the same time, and he almost fell off.Climbing back to the bottom of the cave with trembling hands and feet, he turned around a few times in a daze, glanced at the unconscious Charles, gritted his teeth, there must be a way.

He can't throw in the towel here!

One day passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the mysterious man to deliver food. He lifted the turf, lifted the food and water, and prepared to throw them down.All of this is no different from what happened a few days ago, except that Charles moaned weakly: "I don't want to know who you are, and I don't care about the answer to this question. No more..."

There was a dead silence, as if silently asking why.

"My health is not very good. My leg bone was broken when I fell down on the first day, and the wounds on my body are not ordinary. These days, the wound may be infected. I started to have a fever a few days ago. Until now, even I don’t even have the strength to pick up the bread. I thank you for saving me. You must be a good person, but I can’t go on anymore. The only thing I’m grateful for is to see you again before I die, and say thank you. "

The mysterious man's breathing was rapid, and he seemed to be in a rather shaken mood.

"I don't ask who you are, but please, let me see your face. At least when I die, my eyes are filled with the face of my benefactor instead of the darkness of hell. If you can show kindness if..."

The man hesitated for a while, then slowly leaned forward, sticking his head out from the hole.Waist-length hair hangs loose, passing through the transparent film.At this moment, the membrane seems to disappear, and the sound of wind from the ground can be heard.

It's now!

Torrance grabbed the man's hair, pulled it down hard, and grabbed his head before he had time to retract his leaning body.

"Pull me up! Quick! If you don't want to fall!" Torrance yelled, clambering onto the man's body in twos and twos before he could react.

This is Torrance's method.

If the film on the turf is used to seal the hole and prevent the people inside from coming out, then how did the mysterious person who delivered the food deliver the food in?While the film prevents people inside from getting out, things outside must also have no way to get in.The question arises, how did things get thrown in?

Unless the film disappears.

Thinking about it this way, that moment was their only chance to get out.

Although the time for the mysterious man to deliver meals was mostly at night, he couldn't be sure which part of the night it was. Therefore, after it was almost night outside, he had been lying at the place closest to the entrance of the cave, motionless, waiting for that moment advent.

A few hours, or a dozen hours?He didn't know that his hands and feet went from numbness to unconsciousness, and the pain was meaningless. All his thoughts were focused on one point, and he must go out!

At the bottom of the pit, Charles put down the ceramic shards in his palm and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on his hands.Finally no more sticking splinters into his legs.

Charles' fever was so severe that he could barely stay awake, but the only flaw in the plan was that Torrance could not speak while lying on his stomach at the mouth of the cave, for doing so would give away his position.Then the person who speaks must stay at the bottom of the cave, but no one knows when the food delivery person will come. In order not to miss something, Charles must stay awake at all times.

"You don't have to worry." Charles calmly smashed the ceramic jar of water, picked up the sharpest piece, "I'll be awake for as long as it takes."

When drowsiness sets in, he thrusts the splinters into his legs.

I can't tell how long I waited, but the man finally came.

The first thing Torrance did after he climbed up was to find the rope ladder he had prepared when he dug the pit—he hid next to the trap for convenience, and then forced the food delivery man to go down and carry Charles up.Hugging Charles, who was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and he said coldly, "You are really useless."

Charles glanced at Torrance whose hands and feet were still shaking, and replied unceremoniously: "You are really useful."

The two looked at each other in a state of embarrassment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

What is a good brother, a good brother is someone who went to the same window together, went whoring, got dirty, and was shot.Thinking about it this way, the friendship between the two still has a long way to go.But that was for later, and now Torrance was carrying Charles on his back.

"Come on, let's get rid of that bastard." At this moment, Torrance noticed that the mysterious person in front of him was actually a woman.

It was a woman in rags, her hair looked like it hadn't been trimmed in decades, and her face was smeared with mud. It was difficult to judge her real age.Her face was covered with sharp and deep wrinkles, and she was older than a five or sixty-year-old man. Her hair was almost all white, but for such a person, her eyes were as fresh as a girl's.

Looking at the eyes, he may only be a teenager, but looking at the face, he is dozens of years old.

"Who are you...?" Torrance asked.

Startled by his voice, the woman curled up like a frightened beast, hugging her withered arms, her voice hoarse as dry wood rubbing against each other, "Maria, mine..." She didn't seem to know How to spell that word.

"Name?" Torrance continued, and the woman nodded quickly, showing a grateful expression.With a haggard appearance and shrinking words and deeds, it is difficult to understand how she is struggling to survive here.Torrance suddenly felt a little sorry for her-he had never felt this way before.

"In short, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Shire and I would not have survived. I apologize to you for what happened just now. Now, we are going to seek revenge on the person who brought us to this situation. If we can If you say goodbye, I will definitely give you a great gift."

"And me." Charles added sullenly, showing his presence.

Torrance didn't laugh at Charles' sudden self-esteem, he carried Charles on his back and walked towards the castle.As soon as he turned around, there was a terrifying cry that seemed to come from hell, and the red fire dyed half of the sky red.He looked up, and the castle was burning like a red lotus.

The castle wailed.

The raging black house soared into the sky, turned into the image of a giant dragon in the air, and rolled in the fire.

Why is the castle on fire?Where's Claude?Where is Claude?Could Cloud be in the castle too?

Do not!

He ran with Charles on his back, but a hand caught his arm, it was Maria.Maria staggered a few steps, barely stabilized her figure, opened her mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Let go! I have important things to do now!"

"Demon!" said finally, in a voice as shrill as long fingernails scratching glass, "Castle, Devil, René!"

"If you don't let go, I will be rude to you!" This was Torrance's last warning.

The woman showed an anxious expression, and after hesitating for a second, she finally spoke, but she was singing.A song that Ciel had heard, and Sebas had also heard.

"Bow and string are shot fire, freezing the night sky.

The desolate blue farewell song shoots down lovers.

Forgotten things of distant days tear open wounds.

Along with the cursed oath, etched in my heart.

If this ending is destined, at least let the person you love the most do it. "

"I've heard this song before!" Charles exclaimed in surprise, "This voice, the last time I heard this song was sung by her!"

"The question is not who sang the song, the question is...," Torrance said, "Why is she singing this song at this time, at this place?"
