Mysterious as the Wind, Always With Me

Killing hearts!

It's hard to die, but what the puppet lady said is still the truth, which is even more killing ghosts.

If Galian belongs to that kind of high-level Beyonder, there is no guarantee that there will be a third-stage transformation like the boss in the game.

Unfortunately, there is no 'then' anymore.

The protection of the dice burned out the last trace of Galian's soul activity.

"It's okay... I'll rest."

"it is good."

Miss Doll is like a broken doll, her legs are turned inward, and she is sitting on the ground of the soul world as if she is out of strength.

Light and shadow flashed on the edge of Mark's vision. Even though so many things happened in the soul world, because the speed of thinking was far faster than the actual time, in fact, it only took a few seconds since the cabinet made an abnormal noise.

The four girls were taken aback.

Here, Mark, who has come to his senses, decided to play this mysterious drama to the end.

Mark took the first two steps, the boots raised to the baseboard by the wall.

This is the code!

Then, the damn drama came out again.

"Ah! There are [abnormal objects] in front and demons in the back, what should I do?"

With the light of the kerosene lamp, the four girls were surprised to see a string-pulling puppet descending from the top of the music box.

It was a 30-centimeter-high, doll-sized wooden doll, which had nothing to do with [abnormal].

From the ventilation window in the corner of the room came a voice that was not unfamiliar to Countess Doris. It was the voice of a salon maid. Her voice is quite recognizable.

"Handsome boy, would you like to dance with me?"

"Of course! Beautiful lady." There was a trembling of acting in Mark's voice.

In the dim light of kerosene, Mark danced gracefully in place for a few laps.

The 'Doll' said happily: "I'm very happy, handsome dance partner, is there anything I can do?"

"Okay, can you help me clean up the bad guys in the back?"

"OK!"

The little puppet disappeared into the light, and just in time, a dull roar came from the darkness at the far end, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Mark, whose dark vision is far better than ordinary people, noticed that it was the old acquaintance Joseph who had overturned the last demon.

Everything is over.

Mark drew the final stop for this really big drama.

"[Anomaly] eliminated [Xieyi]! I...Is this safe? Alas, this extraordinary existence is not something I can wait for mortals to touch, so I should leave as soon as possible—"

After all, Mark carried the oil lamp and found the direction of the main entrance of the hall with no difficulty.

The weirdness in the hall has long disappeared.

Mark led his sister all the way to the gate. When he pushed the gate open, a brilliant light shone on the faces of every lady.

Outside the hall, the six waiters who were already waiting in line on both sides of the door smiled and applauded just like a rehearsal.

"congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Destiny for his successful adventure!"

"Congratulations to the ladies on your successful clearance."

The expressions of the four noble ladies are very wonderful. The complex emotions such as worry, fear, tension, stimulation and so on a moment ago have all been transformed into endless excitement at this moment. One hundred thousand pores on the whole body are opened due to ecstasy, inside and outside. Exudes a comfortable feeling.

"Great! Mark! How did you come up with such a great idea?"

"Is this really your own experience?"

"It turns out that you can't see things. Just by hearing, even adventure stories can make people so scared."

"Oh, I almost thought there were really monsters in there, killing people."

Under the ecstasy, the four girls chattered and discussed everything that had just happened, regardless of their demeanor. Not to mention them, even the waiter didn't notice that, except for the light shining in from the door, the entire hall was still dark.

In the darkness, there was a very soft, rustling voice.

It was the night watchman who came back cleaning up the scene.

Fortunately, there was no blood, so I removed the body of the Heartless Demon and wiped it a few times, and I might be able to fool it for the time being.

The more detailed work will be handed over to a special 'cleaning team'.

Outside, the crowd, who were at a loss as to what was going on, accepted a waitress's offer to eat snacks.

"Ah! I was so nervous just now, I'm really hungry." An Wei Na showed a shy expression.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Mark smiled and made a please gesture.

Only Dorothy, the master, noticed something, and she, who was at the end, frowned suddenly: "Where's Dave?"

She asked Mr. Butler.

Several waiters looked at each other.

Only a waiter pretending to be a night watchman bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, there is a very important guest who is waiting for you in the guest room."

Hearing the other party's accent on the word 'very important', Dorothy frowned and turned to Mark and the others: "You go first, I'll be there later."

"OK."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Dorothy came to the living room and was taken aback as soon as she entered.

On a hot day, a man wearing a black long-sleeved leather jacket with half of his face covering his face and a denim felt hat was facing her and standing with his hands behind the window.

After noticing the pattern of his epaulettes, Dorothy hurriedly crossed her hands and put them on her shoulders in a salute: "Praise the light."

The other party turned around slowly and made the same gesture, but what he said was: "Praise the night."

Seeing the two golden feather-like ornaments on the other side's chest, Dorothy's face was quite bad: "Excuse me, the noble Church of the Night [Punisher] Your Excellency came to my mansion, what advice do you have?"

Ordinary people, even nobles, no one wants to greet the night watchman of the Church of the Evernight. After all, many night watchmen are superhumans who have been recruited. As long as it is an extraordinary person, there is the possibility of losing control of power.

Not to mention the Punisher who ranks above the Night's Watch.

[The Punisher] punishes both cultists and traitors, as well as the night watchman whose extraordinary power is out of control. The Punisher represents the mid-level force of the Evernight Church.

There is often only one team of night watchmen in an urban area, and most of the punishers in a city are in the single digits. Only in a big city like St. Leiden can it break through the double digits.

Where there are punishers, there is often nothing good.

Mr. Punisher said in a serious tone: "I'm sorry to inform Your Excellency the Dame, your butler, Mr. Dave Nabandian, has fallen into the darkness and become a demon, and has been dealt with by us."

Dorothy's face lost all color in an instant: "I, I don't know about him."

The Punisher waved his hand: "It's okay, we have confirmed the piety of the rest of the people in the mansion tonight. I am here purely to inform Your Excellency."

"Oh."

fine! fine!

Dorothy's beating heart finally showed signs of calming down.

Immediately she thought of something: "Then mark him..."

Before he finished speaking, the Punisher looked sharply: "Pay attention to your identity. When will it be the turn of a little Viscount to ask about the Destiny family?"

Unbelievable, and having to believe it again, Dorothy covered her mouth in shock.

I used to think that the family was a harmless little milk dog.

Now?

Ha ha!

Dorothy was so lost that she didn't even notice when the Punisher left. She summoned the servants to give some orders and silenced the servants. She went to the dining room and saw Mark, who was staring at the moon, and forcibly squeezed out one. Come smile.

Mark smiled back at her.

Soon, Mark had no time to pay attention to Dorothy. The other three noble ladies started the mode of competition and jealousy, and they all summoned the servants and held the gifts that had been prepared.

In the blink of an eye, Mark received a dagger with a gilded sword, a pocket watch with a silver case and a few broken diamonds, and a pen with diamonds.

"Mark, this is a tribute to your courage."

"Mark, this is for you to jot down bits and pieces of your great adventure, and to publish your autobiography someday..."

"Mark, this is for you in your adventurous life, you can only know when I miss you all the time."

It's really easy to get dizzy when a girl gets crazy. The three of them did not hesitate to use the most gorgeous words, praised Mark's courage, praised the adventure story meeting tonight, and expressed that they would show off such a novel story meeting to the ladies of other salons.

Only Dorothy sat opposite Mark, smiling and helping to adjust the atmosphere of the scene lukewarmly.

She was the only noble girl who didn't give gifts.

It's not that she didn't prepare it, it's that the prepared gift is not suitable, so it's better not to give it first.

The warm atmosphere lasted until nearly 12 o'clock, and the ladies reluctantly let Mark go.

Exhausted, Mark, who had just returned to his room under the escort of the night watchman, immediately saw the music box on the bedside table.

Mark couldn't help but smile bitterly, took a wrong step towards the music box, and assumed a dance-inviting gesture.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance to a song?"

"This is my... honor!" The little doll on the music box became bigger in the blink of an eye. If there was still a field of vision outside the window that could see in, you could see a little lady who was 1.5 meters tall and a 1.5 meter tall girl. Eighty-five handsome men, dancing in circles in the small bedroom space.

The monotonous and crisp sound of the music box echoed in the bedroom, but the night watchman outside the room could not hear any movement. A mysterious force cut off the peeping of the opposite.

Looking at the doll whose face was partially mutilated, Mark still had a gentle smile on his face.

This is not forced to open.

Some things are scary at first glance, but after watching for a long time, you can gradually dilute the fear caused by it and regard it as normal.

Whether it's a nightmare or a horror movie, after being there many times in person, most of the fear that comes to your face will dissipate. There may be occasional palpitations, but that is not a problem.

Dolls just like to dance, not just ballet. She is equally good at the slow waltz.

[Dancing] with the handsome guy is the price to pay for calling her this [abnormal].

Mark felt more and more that if he was not in a real world, but in a certain game, he would most likely be a strange character full of [charm].

Even if his dance steps are not as graceful as his soul state, he can barely keep up with Miss Doll's footsteps, but Miss Doll will patiently cooperate with his movements so that his dance steps will not be too funny.

Mark tiptoed and danced to the music box rhythm, feeling the breeze from the puppet's wooden arms against his skin.

The light of the electric lights in the room was intertwined on the doll's inorganic body, the light and shadow were intertwined, and even the color of the outer shell appeared warm and soft, which gave Mark a sense that he was not holding an [abnormal], but a young lady. In the trance of dancing.

The music comes to an end.

Rotate, close your legs, and salute from both sides.

After the dance, he could clearly feel that Miss Doll was in a good mood.

"Yes, beautiful lady, haven't you remembered your name yet?"

The doll tilted his head, and the sapphire eyes had doubts in capital letters: "I...forgot."

"How about... let me give you a name?"

"Okay!" Miss Doll replied in seconds.

"Then, let's call you Minnie, how about that?"

"It's a good name... I'll call it Minnie in the future..." Miss Doll, no, she should be called Minnie now. She was obviously very happy, she rotated three times on the spot, and even performed a crane stand dance [Atidiu].

Suddenly, the doll made a non-excessive request: "Is it possible...to make me...beautiful. Tonight...reminds me...before..."
