After waking up

Mullan first returned to the York Regional Police Station. Although it was already off duty, there were still many people in the police station. Many police officers were injured. Fortunately, most of them were skin injuries, and they were all bandaged and treated at the police station. After all, they were nearby. Hospitals and clinics across the country are busy treating seriously injured people.

Mulan did not go in. He took one look outside and chose to go home.

The environment in the Black Castle was as usual, but today Mulan had a ghost in his heart. Although all his actions were the same as usual, he was somewhat nervous when he went back. Fortunately, no one noticed him, but when he returned to his residence, From a distance, I saw a person standing in front of the door.

Mulan's heart skipped a beat, and she walked towards her home as if nothing had happened. When she got closer, she breathed a sigh of relief, because standing in front of the door was Duo Li.

"You'll be back an hour later than usual today."

Before Mulan could speak, Doli had already spoken first.

Mulan shrugged and said helplessly.

"There was a big riot in the industrial area today. The York Regional Police were mobilized in full force. I also went to investigate, so I was busy until late."

Saying this, Mulan changed his tone and made a joke.

"Do you pay attention to me every day when I come back?"

"Yes, I know you come back every day. Do you plan to stand outside and talk to me all the time?"

Mulan quickly stepped forward, took out the key, opened the door, and then made a gesture to invite in.

"Please come in, Ms. Dolly, this is the first time you have come to my side since coming to the Black Castle."

Doli glanced at the dishes in Mulan's hand and walked into the small building. After Mulan closed the door, he quickly surpassed Doli, who was looking around, and went to the kitchen to work first.

"Sit wherever you like. Since you're here, let's have dinner together today."

Doli didn't answer. She kept observing the furnishings in Mulan's house and the kitchen, which was obviously frequently used.

"You are quite adaptable to life in the Black Castle."

Mulan cut the piece of meat in his hand without looking back, and replied lightly.

"You seem very uncomfortable with life in Castle Black."

"I gotta go."

Mulan paused in his movements and turned to look at Doli who was already sitting at the dining table. It wasn't that he and Doli had a deep relationship or how reluctant they were to part with each other, but as someone who came to Digao from Valentine at the same time, It was natural in my mind to place Doli in a relationship close to a partner.

Although strictly speaking Mulan and Doli have not had several in-depth exchanges, Mulan knows that Doli is very pure in heart, and Doli also understands Mulan's personality.

"Where to go?"

"Go where I need to go."

Mulan thought for a moment and glanced out the window.

"You seem to have had your own plans from the beginning, so why did you come to Black Castle?"

Doli smiled, making a rare joke.

"You've been at the police station for too long. Do you want to check everything?"

Mulan continued to cut the meat in his hands.

"I don't have many friends. I just want to know how to contact you in the future."

This sentence seemed to touch Doli quite a bit, so that the two crossed hands grasped each other a little harder, and she led the topic to other directions.

"I heard that you have been able to choose your path a long time ago. Do you have a choice?"

Hearing this sentence, Mulan couldn't help but recall the feeling of becoming another self today. From a basic theoretical perspective, it can be regarded as a special path, but the stage is definitely not high, and it is difficult to define the classification. .

"Not yet. I have at least five options. It's hard to beat me. Each one seems to be very good. I have studied the basics, but when it comes to forming the world, if you are greedy for more, you will be courting death."

"By the way, can you eat spicy food?"

"I haven't tried it."

"Then try it."

Mulan made the decision for Doli and quickly started to stir-fry. There was no way to absorb the oil fumes. The heavy fire and heavy oil cooking method caused the smell of oil fumes to cover the entire kitchen, but the spicy aroma mixed with it was also very... Tempting.

The whole dinner process was very harmonious and interesting. Dori had almost no tolerance for spicy food. She drank a lot of water to eat just a little bit, but she loved eating very much. Even after drinking so much water, Dori never went to the toilet.

After dinner, Doli stood up and said goodbye. Mulan sent her to the door. Watching her walk into the dark night, he couldn't help but speak out again.

"Dolly, Sir Walton is not a dull man."

Duo Li smiled and turned to look at Mulan.

"Finally, I got it right once, so let me tell you in your own words that Sir Walton is not stupid."

Dolly continued to leave, but stopped again after taking a few steps.

"Actually, I really want to be friends with you. You are humorous and artistically gifted, with a bright heart and courage. It fits many of my beautiful fantasies about human beings. But after all, we are people from two different worlds. Maybe one day, we can meet again. Time is the enemy.”

Mulan leaned against the door frame, not looking too surprised.

"You are like a little girl who is full of worries. You want to get closer to others but you are coy. You don't want anything to restrict you, but you want to leave some sense of existence. But you have to know that everything you do, On the contrary, it may cause some trouble for me, if you want to do something extraordinary."

Mulan paused for a moment before continuing.

"As an unlucky person who may have been implicated for no reason, at least I feel that I have a certain right to know."

"Then I won't tell you, hahahahaha"

Dolly laughed and left, playing Lieutenant Jonster's March.

But the further away from Mulan's residence, the more serious Doli's expression became, and even a hint of ferocity appeared in the back. There was a surging magic awakening deep in her eyes. She was tired of everything in the past, tired of not being free, and disgusted with the so-called The clansman also hates her own birth, hates her past self, and hates all conspiracies and tricks. Even though she has a lot of disgust, this is a major opportunity in her life, a chance to make a new choice, and she will do it at all costs.

‘I can achieve your goals for you, but I am not a puppet. I also have suppressed anger, so... destroy it! ’

"Rumble--"

There was a thunder in the sky and cumulonimbus clouds gathered over the city.

Mulan, who had closed the door and went back to put away the pots and pans, looked at the sky through the kitchen window. Cumulonimbus clouds had completely blocked the moonlight.

"Crack~Boom——"

The light of the lightning overwhelmed the gas lamp in the room, and the thunder was extremely loud and almost echoed with the light, indicating that the lightning was very close to here.

"Crack, boom--"

"Bang" "bang" "bang".

A bolt of lightning directly hit Mulan's small building. The gas lamp exploded with a burst of fire, and most of the glass upstairs was broken. Mulan was suddenly frightened and moved away from the sink.

Then the heavy rain fell directly, and the entire Digao was shrouded in rain.

"Rumble"

The lightning lit up again, and Mulan could faintly see two huge snake-shaped shadows lying in the sky not far away, roaring at the earth. These were the shadows of the other world that penetrated into reality, and there seemed to be countless winged monsters rushing towards them. toward the sky.

Several main buildings in the Black Castle lit up at this moment, and loud noises that shook the eardrums sounded from time to time. At this moment, Walton happened to be still in the palace, and several backbones in the Black Castle happened to be sent out for inspection by Walton. In Digao City and its surrounding areas, it was all such a coincidence to track down that mysterious evil being.

"Ah~~~~"

The beautiful singing echoed throughout the Black Castle, and Mulan was hiding at home anyway.
