I often think, what should I do if I continue to drift like this, or die one day without realizing my wish.

"Can you keep the photos for me...?" I stood up according to the instructions and asked hesitantly.

"I often lose things and don't keep things well."

Joseph stopped debugging the machine, glanced over the photo album in my hand, and paused, sounding a little unclear:

"of course can."

There was a slight smile on the photographer's always indifferent face. He was always indifferent, so I thought he should be serious. The face favored by the gods seemed to be born lacking the proper expression.I suddenly remembered the way he smiled at me last time, it seemed that it was after he invited me to take a photo.

"That's great." I couldn't help smiling: "If I can't leave the manor in the end, this is probably one of the few traces of me left in this world."

"You want to leave the manor?"

"If the survivors cannot leave, they will die sooner or later."

After saying this, I couldn't help but observe his expression.Joseph didn't speak, but put his hands on the camera, his blue eyes were calm.The regulators have a very clear understanding of the situation of the survivors. Except for the manor owner, probably no one knows the rules of the manor better than them.

In fact, dating is meaningless, we all know this, the gap between the supervisor and the survivor makes this marriage contract have no other choice, to be exact, I have no other choice.

"What is your wish?" Joseph looked at me quietly and asked suddenly.

I was stunned, this question has been asked by many people, and the answer... I don't know if it is what they want.This is not important, I thought about it and said casually:

"...for the bonus?"

Joseph stared at the girl in front of him, who was standing in an open space, holding a photo album.The light that came in from the window shrouded her body, as if covered with a shimmer.

She has always been very expressive, and now she said that she wanted to keep a photo of herself, with a slight smile on her face.

Like a dandelion being gently blown by the wind, it flutters into the sky.

The slightly retracted eyelashes fluttered like a black butterfly.

——It is so vivid that people have a desire to simply turn her into a photo collection.

He tapped a few times with his finger on the camera, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question:

"What is your wish?"

She was stunned.

Just as everyone couldn't figure it out, even he was very curious about why the girl came to Odiris Manor.

"...For the bonus?" After a while, she said softly, stretched out her hand to stroke her ink-like black hair, and stopped looking at him with lowered eyes: "I have nothing left when I come here."

He seemed to think that this reason was too vulgar, and while admitting it frankly, his face turned red, and his voice became lower and lower: "So, if you want to live in the outside world, you must at least have money."

"You want to go out?" Joseph asked.

The girl lowered her head: "I...I want to go back to my hometown and have a look."

Take out the photo from the camera, the girl in the pattern is still beautiful, but some things will never be as interesting as real people.

Deliberately said: "Do you want to go back to London?"

"No... But, it would be great if I could go and have a look." She didn't seem to have a destination in mind yet, but she simply wanted to escape from the manor.Joseph watched her quietly, at an angle that only he could see, the power of time lingered around her, reflecting her ink-like black hair, pale skin, and accompanying her every move.

She looked at him ignorantly, with a bit of bewilderment: "What are you looking at?"

Little liar.

If he didn't accept the gift that fate sent him, Joseph's life of more than [-] years would be in vain.

Hooked the corner of the mouth:

"Nothing, just thinking about where to put this photo."

"Aren't you going to put it in the photo album?"

"Do not."

She was a little strange, but she was very happy knowing that he would keep it well. Of course, Joseph would not tell her the truth about the album she was holding or even flipping through.

"Because you are different."

The girl froze for a moment, her face flushed again.

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the atmosphere, and something different came out of this silence.She lowered her head slightly shyly, and after a while, she couldn't help sneaking a peek over again.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

Because... I haven't decided where to go for the time being, or maybe it's because of the different scenery in the mouth of the manor owner. He has spent his life as a human being and is no longer a fish swimming in the endless river of time. And has become a tourist enjoying the scenery by the river.

The long time is enough to wash away the turmoil of the mundane world, leaving only the independent soul.

And Joseph's answer was just to spread out his palms. The white porcelain-like skin had clear texture, and his knuckles were covered with long and sharp nails. People couldn't help but recall the appearance of these hands holding knives.

As if to tell you that the owner of these hands is not completely harmless.

I hesitated for a moment, those icy blue eyes stared at me quietly, and after a little smile dissipated, a feeling of indifference appeared, even though I was always sensitive to emotions, I couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while.A trace of uneasiness quietly rose in my heart, as if I was facing a choice. Once Pandora's magic box was opened, no one knew what would happen.

Under Youyou's gaze, from a distance of only two or three steps, it seemed as if he could clearly see his own figure sinking in the middle of the lake.He didn't urge him, but just waited for my reaction to see if I would eventually go to destruction or death.

I was taken aback by my own thoughts, but I slowly reached out and attached it. Perhaps Joseph is too talkative today, which made me lose my fear of the supervisor.The warm touch came from the fingertips, which made people clearly realize that what they touched was not a piece of exquisite jade.

But as soon as he raised his eyes, the darling of God, who was as beautiful as an archangel, disappeared.Like a shattered porcelain statue—the color has faded from his body, leaving cracks, as if life and time have left him together, and the cotton-white silver hair has also lost its original color.

And those beautiful blue eyes, the sky that has always attracted me most, is like a deep abyss, and only dark shadows remain.

I lost my words, and could only watch this scene in shock, and subconsciously wanted to back away, but someone grabbed my finger.

"Are you scared?"

"... a little surprised," I looked at his cracked face in a daze: "This is, what's going on?"

"The supervisors are not living people." He said lightly, as if stating the facts: "You disappeared decades ago, and I never thought that I would meet you here."

"……What's the meaning?"

"I don't belong to the world, but you don't belong to this era."

I was silent, and even forgot to take back my hand. I didn't need anyone to remind me, and I knew that I didn't belong here.

"I thought...you were the same as me." I murmured.

I thought that he possessed the power of time, and also came from different times, at least it could give me a little resonance and comfort.But the fact is that I am too whimsical, as someone told me many years ago-time travelers are too rare, if you can't be with you, you will be very lonely.

I have already experienced this feeling, which makes people feel hopeless and hesitant: "I sometimes think, if I can die at that time, at least I will be with my parents." My mother will definitely find my father, and our family will be in hell Reunion here.

"I can't go home, can I?"

The fantasy was shattered, and what was exposed was the cruel reality. Tears gushed out of my eyes uncontrollably, like a deep-buried scab being torn open again, and bright red and sad blood flowed out, making my heart tremble with pain .

Joseph was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to caress my cheek, and wiped away the tears from my eyes with his cold fingers. The tears were dim, and he changed back to his original appearance at some point, as if everything just now was just an illusion.I heard him say:

"I have forgotten most of the mundane things. A person will get used to it after walking for a long time, but for you, it is too cruel."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the pair of sapphire-like eyes under the long eyelashes seemed to contain a lot of things: "There are too few things that can never fade in time, such as my photo album. Eternal. You have stepped out of time, and time favors you. This is the cruelest and most precious gift that fate has given you."

"A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away."

There was a cold touch from my ear, his eyes fell on my ear with the movement, and his cool fingertips brushed the broken hair on my forehead, pinning them behind my ears.The fingertips were in contact with the thin auricle, and the sharp nails faintly scratched the skin, with a slight itchiness.

"Crying doesn't solve the problem."

"What about your secular relatives, how did you solve it." I wiped away my tears, unable to control my emotions for a while, and said.

"All passed away."

I paused and looked at him in surprise.Joseph's face remained calm: "My younger brother passed away very early, and then my parents ran out of time and left, but at least I have been with them all their lives." As for the others, they are insignificant.

"So... don't be afraid." He paused with his outstretched hand, and still touched my head, just like comforting me in the horror house that day, the alienation of the whole body has eased a lot, and the blue eyes looked at me seriously. Me: "There is still a long way to go."

I was silent for a moment: "I want to go back."
