[Hunter] Lydia's Life Story I

Duh, duh, duh.

The leisurely knock on the door was particularly strange amidst the continuous rain.

The burning flame had just died out, and the light faded to reveal a handful of ashes.

We turned around and looked out.In the rain curtain at the door, a middle-aged woman in a long black dress stood quietly.She was backlit, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her figure, she should be neither young nor old.

But this is not important, what is important is that she is standing alone in the rain, but the thin rain curtain seems to be stretched by an invisible barrier, and no drop can hit her.

I don't know what this means, so I have to watch Kurolo.He stared fixedly at the door, with a calm expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, so I understood that the person at the door must be very difficult to deal with.

I think this woman must be Mrs. Guiliu who has long admired her name.

She appeared here at this time, and I felt inexplicably relieved that "it's finally here".

We didn't notice this woman's arrival before, and we don't take the initiative to speak now.Like a gentle and polite guest, the woman in the long black dress stopped outside and asked, "Excuse me, may I come in?"

"Come in," Kurolo said.

She walked in, with dark curly hair and meticulous, friendly and simple oval face, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes. At first glance, she looked very dignified and gentle, but her eyes were deep and narrow, which made her feel powerful.

She stood at the door of the back room, nodded to us first, and then saw Martha's ashes in a blink of an eye, and there were large pieces of burnt black marks on the ground.

"I'm sorry about Martha." She spoke slowly, each word was clear and forceful, "Maybe you have heard of me, everyone calls me Mrs. Ghost Willow."

She turned her gaze to the miserable corpse of the man behind us, and then naturally turned back to us, and said calmly, "Children, you need help now."

"Who is he?" Kuroro asked.

"Donald, the nephew of the chairman of the Eighth District Business Alliance, is also his only relative." Madam Guiliu said.

"Okay, we'll go with you." Kuroro said smoothly.I was surprised in my heart, but at the same time felt Kuroro's hand that was still holding me tightened.

Mrs. Guiliu nodded: "I will take care of this matter." She turned her head to look at Ma Qi, and Ma Qi looked down at Martha's ashes from the beginning to the end, turning a blind eye to her appearance.

Now, feeling that we were all looking at her, the little girl finally turned her head, her golden cat eyes stared straight at Mrs. Guiliu stubbornly, and asked bluntly, "Madam, why did you let the Self-Defense Force stop us?"

Madam Guiliu tolerantly faced her questioning, and calmly said: "I am only protecting you. This is also what Martha meant."

Ma Qi stared at her for a while, then turned around, went to find a porcelain jar under the bed, emptied out the sundries inside, walked back to Martha's ashes, and carefully packed handfuls of white ashes. go in.

She packed it quickly, and when she stood up with the jar in her arms, Mrs. Guiliu asked, "Is there anything else to bring?" We didn't have anything, and Madge looked around the room and shook his head.

Mrs. Guiliu nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.

We followed her silently. The moment we walked out of the gate, the rain hit my body, and I shivered. The next second, an umbrella was propped on top of Kuroro and me.I looked up and saw a strange short-haired woman standing by the door, as if waiting for us.

I stared at her with wide eyes in amazement, and turned around to look around. I was shocked to find that there were more than a dozen women in the uniforms of the Self-Defense Forces from the two teams who did not know when they appeared outside the door, standing upright in the rain, watching silently. with us.

I clasped Kuroro's hand tightly, my fingertips were cold.Kuroro dragged me to follow Mrs. Guiliu in front, the woman with the umbrella moved with us, and Feitan and Maqi followed behind us.

I couldn't help but look back, the door of March's house was wide open, and it was dark inside, looking extremely gloomy through the rain curtain.

We passed by the doctor's clinic on the way, and after walking an unfamiliar distance, we entered a huge mansion.This is the mansion of Mrs. Guiliu in the legend. Because it also serves as the office center of Liuying Street, the scale can be called grand.The three-story villa has at least seven or eight rooms on each floor from the outside windows, and the decoration is solemn and gorgeous.

Mrs. Guiliu personally led us back to her territory, handed us over to the welcoming maid and left.We were taken to a room on the second floor to "rest".

This is a suite, with a living room with a sofa on the outside, and a bedroom inside, with a wardrobe, a dressing table, a large bed big enough for the four of us, and a bathroom, very similar to the specifications of a luxury hotel in memory.Compared with this room, the wooden house of the March family looked like a dilapidated slum.

The maid sent us into the room, thoroughly demonstrated to us the use of various facilities in the house, took out bath towels and replacement clothes from the closet, closed the door and left.

The four of us stayed in the gorgeous and empty room, and there was a moment of silence.I was leaning against the waist-high mattress, and I jumped back and sat on it, with my hands obediently placed on my knees, my eyes wandering around, searching for monitors in every corner.

On other people's territory, even if there are only four of us in the room, we dare not speak casually.

"Let's do this first."

In the end, Kuroro said ambiguously.

It was raining heavily outside, even if someone held an umbrella, I was still half drenched and half wet along the way.I said hello to Kuroro and Feitan, and I decided to take it easy as soon as I came, and go to take a shower and change into dry clothes first.

I called Ma Qi tentatively, and Ma Qi put the urn in his arms on the bedside table and followed silently.She obviously needs time to adjust to the loss of her mother, but this performance has been far better than I could have expected.

We still have a lot of troubles, she must come out as soon as possible.

Hot water poured from the overhead shower, and I raised my head and closed my eyes, blissful.Can't remember how long it's been since I took such a happy hot bath?It really made me feel for a moment that, just for this moment, it was worth it to be pulled into the palm of Mrs. Guiliu!

After washing myself from head to toe until I was sweating, I changed into the ill-fitting children's clothes prepared here, wiped my hair and went out first, telling Maggie to take a longer shower—if I could take this opportunity to cry a little bit to vent , that's fine too.

There was no one in the bedroom, so I found the outside room, where Kuroro and Feitan were sitting on the sofa and eating.Dinner has been delivered, a plate full of sandwiches, lettuce, cheese and ham sandwiched on fluffy toast, it looks refreshing and delicious.

I tugged at the brand new satin dress on my body, and Xindao Mrs. Guiliu's move was not inappropriate.Sitting down on the sofa next to Kuroro, I sighed sadly: Look, following Sajia, the treatment will always be so good!

"Where's Marge?" Kuroro asked.

"Still inside." I said.

He continued: "We just said that if we face Mrs. Guiliu head-on, we have no chance of winning."

I took a sandwich from the plate and said, "She's strong?... How does she compare to the Business Alliance?"

"Not sure what she'll do," Kuroro said.

I whispered: "March..."

"Keep her." Kuroro said.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "The matter of Martha...doesn't affect you?"

When he first came to Liuying Street, Kuroro signed a contract with Martha's mother and daughter, and Azhi to try his best to protect Martha's mother and daughter.

"It's okay." Kurolo said, "But we still have to keep Maggie. Find a chance and take her with you. Hasn't she been exercising with you?"

"Yes." I wiped my sweat in my heart - Madge practiced much better than me!Kurollo and Feitan are officially recognized as having good aptitude.

"Find out about Martha first." Fei Tan said.

If the man's identity is as Mrs. Guiliu said, the business alliance will never let it go, and Mrs. Guiliu's response is unpredictable-this is indeed the most likely turning point.

"Lydia, it's not me, it's you." Kuroro said abruptly after eating the sandwich in his hand.

My pupils shrank.We have already deduced various possibilities, and this is the best one and the worst one.Without asking Kuroro how to make a judgment, I shrank to the sofa and to his side, swallowed the sandwich in my mouth like chewing wax, and threw the rest of my hand back on the table.

"Well, I know how to do it."

After I touched his shoulder, Kuroro turned his head and kissed me on the cheek not far from the corner of my mouth. "It's okay." He said softly.

I looked up at him, then smiled reassuringly.

That night, Mrs. Guiliu came to our room and brought us some news: The chairman of the business alliance sent someone to express his anger at the death of his nephew. He also threatened Mrs. Guiliu that she would pay for it.

"Finally, I still have a bit of face, and I can only win one day for the time being. The chairman of the alliance is such a nephew, and he will definitely take revenge at all costs." Mrs. Guiliu sat across from us and said.

We watched her silently.

Mrs. Guiliu wore a thin silk shawl, her hair was tied behind her head, and she looked graceful and capable.She calmly said with confidence, "The only way to keep you guys alive is to find the person behind Martha's accident as soon as possible."

Ma Qi was about to stand up suddenly, Kuroro stretched out his hand to stop her, and I pressed Ma Qi's shoulder from the side to comfort her.

Kuroro frowned and looked at Mrs. Guiliu, and asked tentatively, "You mean?"

Madam Guiliu nodded, "That's right, this matter is a conspiracy against Martha."

She looked at Ma Qi gently, and said slowly: "I have asked the Self-Defense Forces to investigate this afternoon. Who is going to use Downers to harm Martha, we have a result."

"Who is it!" Ma Qi's sharp voice pierced the air immediately.She held Martha's urn tightly in her arms, and stared at Mrs. Guiliu with red eyes.

Mrs. Guiliu was surrounded by a quiet demeanor. Amidst Madge's excitement, she turned her head smoothly and said to the outside: "Bring it in."

Outside the door, two women from the Self-Defense Forces came in holding a thin woman with her hands tied in front of her.The thin clothes on her body were drenched by the rain, her hair stuck to her face in strands, and she was very embarrassed.I stared at her without blinking as she was brought in, she raised her head, revealing a pale and familiar face.

It's Meadow!

Under the palm of Ma Qi's shoulders were tense, and the muscles were trembling. I worriedly stroked her back up and down to comfort her.

"Danas has been received by Medo before. Before he found Martha, only Medo had contact with him. She has already admitted that she introduced Martha to Downas, suggesting that he can force Martha." Mrs. Guiliu spoke clearly and authentically.

Mei Duo was brought to Mrs. Guiliu staggeringly, her legs went limp, and she knelt down in front of her.

Mrs. Guiliu didn't even look at her, she still looked at us with a calm expression and a firm tone: "It's very clear, it's all because of her, and Martha is just a victim. Liuying Street doesn't allow this sort of thing in private. Meadow will take full responsibility for this transaction."

"I'm sorry for what happened," she said finally.

"Madam, Madam, I knew I was wrong! I really knew I was wrong! Please forgive me this time, I won't dare again!" Mei Duo seemed to realize that something was wrong when she heard Mrs. Guiliu's words.She was terrified, and almost immediately raised her head and looked at Mrs. Guiliu sadly, begging repeatedly with a desolate expression.

Mrs. Guiliu looked down at her, her expression fixed on a dignified and gentle expression, like a mask with no expression.

"Madam! Madam! Mei Duo knows she's wrong!" Mei Duo leaned down anxiously, kowtowed to Madam Guiliu several times, and begged on the ground: "Madam, I really know I was wrong. I don’t dare anymore! Next time Mr. Downers comes again, I will personally plead guilty to him! I was really confused for a while, please forgive me! I don’t dare again!”

She can barely be called a girl's age, she is lying at the feet of the graceful lady in an extremely humble posture, her thin back is constantly trembling, like a flower bud hit by a violent storm, it looks pitiful endlessly.

It's a pity that no one there took pity on her.

Madam Guiliu looked at her with extremely calm eyes, she was just a dead thing that needed to be thrown out if something went wrong.And on our side, we can't wait to eat their flesh raw!

"Why... why did you do this?"

Ma Qi stared at Mei Duo who was kneeling at Mrs. Guiliu's feet, and asked fluently, clearly and coldly.Her eyes were calm, it was the hatred and madness that had been suppressed to the extreme.

Mei Duo looked up, seeing that Mrs. Guiliu didn't respond, she turned around on the ground, knelt and faced us, crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt Martha! I really didn't want to kill her!"

"I, I'm just jealous of her well-being and want to make her suffer! I really didn't expect this to happen! Lord Downers has approached me many times, and I didn't expect this to happen! I didn't mean it , I really didn't do it on purpose! Please! Please forgive me!" She looked up at us from bottom to top, her cheeks were wet with tears, mournful and pathetic.

I looked at her seriously, only to find that she has a pair of beautiful eyes with clean outlines and clear pupils.Those eyes looked at you pleadingly and expectantly through the tears, as if they were remorseful and earnestly begging for forgiveness.

But I didn't ignore the hard and cold malice behind the sadness and remorse floating in the depths of those lovely and pitiful eyes.

Like obsidian soaked in poisonous juice, it is so black that it stings people's eyes.

I looked at her intently and listened to her reasons for harming others, feeling both absurd and vicious.

"Just because of this?" Ma Qi's fluttering voice sounded, as if he was afraid of waking up something, and seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

I felt Madge trembling with my hand on her shoulder, but it could have been my hand too.

Mei Duo didn't know whether it was because she saw that we didn't react violently and thought it was a joke, or because she knew Mrs. Guiliu couldn't sympathize with her, so she had no choice but to grab us as the last straw, and she was still desperately repenting and fighting for it.

While saying sorry to Martha, she cried about how helpless she was abused by Downers, and at the same time she presumptuously offered to atone for her sins—

"I know I made a big mistake, you can't forgive me! But, please give me a chance to redeem..." She choked up, "I am willing to replace Martha and raise you up! I will definitely do my best , take care of you..."

I hated it and laughed back—there are such brazen people in the world!She killed Martha because of her own viciousness, and now dreams of taking her place as adopter? !

She, self, life, cheap, return, want, destroy, lose, don't, people, yes!

"Let's go here." Kuroro interrupted her indifferently, and he could see that he was as disgusted as I was.

He only asked Madam Guiliu: "What price will she pay for this?"

Mrs. Guiliu said: "Tomorrow morning, I will hand her over to the people of the business alliance. The furious chairman of the alliance can't wait to meet the murderer who killed his nephew."

Mei Duo realized something was wrong at this moment. She looked at us blankly for a while, and murmured: "Who are you going to hand me over to? Donnas... is dead?"

She raised her head abruptly, showing an almost desperate expression.She screamed, "Danas is dead! You! You are going to blame me!"

She looked at us fiercely, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Guiliu, with hysterical hatred in her voice—"You didn't arrest me because of Martha! You're going to take me as the blame for them! You bitch—uh Well!"

The member of the self-defense force who had been standing behind Mrs. Guiliu stepped forward at this moment and directly blocked her mouth.Madam Guiliu said coldly: "Drag on, don't let her commit suicide."

Meadow was dragged down by two members of the Self-Defense Forces like a cloth bag.She was dragged all the way and struggled desperately all the way, but it was nothing more than the efforts of a mayfly to shake a tree.

From my point of view, her upturned chin is sharp and thin, her eyes are frantic and desperate, her wet hair is being pulled upside down by someone, her face is as pale as a ghost.

She looked at us tearfully, and we sat on the couch looking back at her until she was dragged out of the room.

During the whole process, March's shoulders felt an upward force several times, as if she couldn't help but pounce on and kill this bitch, but she restrained herself in the end.

My fingers almost dug into Madge's shoulder, and I'm still shaking slightly.As far as we are concerned, whether it is Mei Duo, the business alliance behind that Downers, or even Mrs. Guiliu who condoned all this, they are our enemies!If possible, rather than letting them bite dogs like this, we would rather make real swords and guns, and let each of them pay the price of bone marrow!

But... we have already fallen into the hands of Mrs. Guiliu, and we have to use Mei Duo to take the blame to escape the revenge of the business alliance.The situation is like this, and now this is the best result, not to mention other things, so I can only knock out teeth and swallow blood-only forbearance, forbearance, and forbearance!

After dealing with Mei Duo face to face, Mrs. Guiliu didn't say any more nonsense, and simply got up and left.

Perhaps in her eyes, we are already on her plate if we stay here, and it is impossible to get out of control.

This is true.

It was late at night when she left, and the four of us were sitting on the couch, feeling helpless to say anything except me hugging Madge's shoulders as a comfort.

It was still raining outside, and the bright lights overhead made people dizzy.The windows were closed, and the summer night on Meteor Street was almost suffocatingly hot.

"Revenge that cannot be avenged for the time being..." After a long time, I muttered.

"Just write it down first." Kuroro said to March.

"Sooner or later, let them pay the price." Fei Tan continued.

"...I know." March said coldly.

Now I have to sleep.

Probably no one will be able to sleep tonight.

The big bed in the bedroom is still more than enough to sleep four people. Feitan is on the outermost side, near the window, Madge is on the innermost side, next to the bathroom, and Kuroro and I are in the middle.

I felt uncomfortable, so I kept digging into Kuroro's arms.Kuroro thought it was too hot, so he pushed me away again and again.I was also hot, and the hair on my neck was sweating profusely, but I still stubbornly leaned towards him.After doing this several times, Kurolo gave up and put his hand on my back in compromise, and the two of them became hot together.

When Azhi sneaked up from the window, Feitan was the first to jump up from the bed.Kuroro slowed down a beat when I tripped him.Afterwards, Madge and I turned over and sat up, our eyes clear.

The windows were opened, and the cool air from the rain poured in, which was refreshing.A black figure flipped in from the window and landed on the ground, while saying in a very low voice, "March? It's me."

"A pheasant!" March called softly.

She jumped out of bed and ran over to her in the dark, and took her arms.

In the garden outside, illuminated by faint lights, I could vaguely see her silhouette.She seemed to be looking up at us, stretched her arms to protect Ma Qi, and whispered: "Follow me! I will take you out of the eighth district!"

"How sure are you?" Kuroro asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure!" Azhi quickly said, "There is a tunnel leading to the outside behind my house! But we will definitely be discovered when we go out, and whether we can escape is entirely up to good luck! But if you stay here, you will surely die!"

"Are we in big trouble?" March whispered.

"Martha...if I was there, I would do the same!" Azhi said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid of Maqi! I will take you out if I try my best! Do you believe me?"

Ma Qi looked at us and said firmly: "I believe in Azhi!"

A pheasant spoke to our concerns—Madam Guiliu vowed that she could keep us, but if she dared to confront the business alliance, Liuying Street would not be what it is today.And when she said to save, did she save Ma Qi who was the daughter of Martha who killed Downers in the end, or Fei Tan who was about to kill Donalds, or whether the business alliance wanted to dig three feet into the ground? The Kuroro I found...or do I just keep the me that she wants the most?

When we have no choice, we can only gamble.But now, Azhi appeared in front of us with another path.

"Go!" Kuroro said quickly.
