  Chapter 519 The Dark Man

   "Haah...haah..."

   I can hardly run anymore, and every time I breathe, my lungs feel like burning pain. In this deserted city, on the deserted streets, only the girl was running desperately, and behind her was a huge, terrifying steel monster. Its footsteps were slow and firm, like a predator playing tricks on its prey, it kept following the girl.

"Aha………!"

  Finally, the pain reached its limit, the girl stopped, gasping for breath, her slender deer-like legs had already started to tremble. However, the footsteps behind him continued to approach without any intention of stopping.

   "Charlie... Axie..."

   Calling her friend's name, the girl gritted her teeth, her heart beating violently as if it was about to burst.

  Why, this kind of thing happened to me?

  Accompanies the friend who has always been concerned about her home, but on the way, the friend suddenly screamed, and a strange black monster appeared from behind her. The girl at that time was completely stunned by this scene. Fortunately, the monster did not intend to hurt her friend. For it, her right eye seemed to be more valuable.

  That's why the girl made up her mind to lure that monster away from her friend, but...she never thought that this monster was so terrifying.

Not to mention……

  Here, what exactly is it?

  The girl raised her head and looked around. At first glance, it seems to be the city of fog, but when the girl tried to open the door and hid in the building, she found that the door here could not be opened at all, it was not locked, but just looked like a door Just rocks. So the only thing the girl can do is run, run, keep running.

  Lie the monster away and prevent it from hurting your friends.

   But what next?

   "—————!!"

Just as the girl was thinking hard, suddenly, the beast-like roar came again, she turned her head to look, and saw that the terrifying steel monster had come not far behind her, it opened its sharp claws, and stared at the girl viciously , let out a greedy howl.

   "Golden pupil...give it to me...!"

"Do not make jokes!"

   Trembling all over her body, the girl's consciousness was almost blurred by fear, but she still clenched her fists and roared loudly in front of the monster.

   "I will not lose to you!"

   "Boom!"

  However, at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow descended from the sky, and landed heavily between the girl and the monster, which startled the girl.

"Why?"

  The girl raised her head in surprise, and saw an extremely tall figure in a black windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat standing in front of her, holding a pitch-black cane in his hand, with his back to her.

who is he?

  The scene at this moment made the girl's brain confused. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. And at this moment, the steel monster also saw the pitch-black figure, and opened his hands again—it's funny to say, when she first saw it, the girl was still terrified by the other's huge steel body, but now the dark tall man Shadow is even a head taller than this monster, so that from the eyes of bystanders, it feels that the monster is not scary at all.

   "That depends on whether you have the ability!"

  Hearing the roar of the monster, the black figure also snorted coldly, and then the girl saw him clenched his cane tightly, and there was a sudden pause. With a heavy sound, the pitch-black flame burst out from the ground instantly.

what is that?

   Staring at the black flame in front of her eyes, the girl's eyes widened in horror. I don't know why, just looking at the flames made her feel trembling and cold, and her body, which was so hot from running desperately just now, seemed to become extremely cold at this moment, as if someone had poured cold water on it.

   Not only that, she also saw a strange figure made up of red and black arcs from within the flames.

That is………

   It was the first time she saw this strange pattern, but a word suddenly appeared in the girl's mind.

   Destined to die.

  It is the end of death and destruction that is so long that even the gods fear, and the fate that everything will burn to nothing...

  The girl's awareness stopped here, and the next moment, she fell into deep darkness like this.

   When the girl regained consciousness again, it was already the morning after two days. And beside her bed was the landlady of the apartment.

  From the landlady, the girl learned a fact.

  Two days ago, someone knocked on the landlady's door. When the landlady came out, she saw only the unconscious girl and her friend. The girl has been suffering from a high fever, even if she asks a doctor to see it, the conclusion is only a high fever. Fortunately, the girl has woken up, but her friend is not so lucky.

  Consciousness is unknown.

   This is the only diagnosis that doctors can make. The girl's friend has no high fever, no symptoms, just lying on the bed, sleeping like a Sleeping Beauty, that's all.

   This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the girl. Why did she wake up, but her friend did not wake up.

   What the **** is going on with all this?

   Wasn’t everything I saw that night a dream?

  The girl is of course unwilling to believe such a fact, but reality is reality after all.

   On the first day, the girl took care of her by her sleeping best friend.

  The next day, doctors known as famous doctors came to my friend's house one after another.

   On the third day, even those famous doctors with high reputations could not wake up the friend from the coma.

   On the fourth day, the girl spent the whole day in her room thinking about what happened that night, the steel monster chasing her, the dark city and streets, and the **** of death that appeared in front of her.

   Then, the girl finally discovered something.

  That... God of death, I have seen it before, and more than once!

   That's right, although she didn't see the other person's face, the girl will never forget that height!

   If I remember correctly, the first time was in the Thames River, when I fell into the water, it was the other party who rescued me. At that time, before I had time to thank him, that gentleman disappeared without anyone noticing.

Then the second time, it was in the Master Academy. At that time, he was standing in the shadow under the tree in the atrium, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, wearing a black windbreaker, and holding a black cane in his hand. At that time, the girl once thought I greeted him, but I didn't have time because I was busy with class.

  The third time, that night, on that dark street... Although the other party turned his back to him, but that person was well dressed and also holding a cane, the important thing was that height...!

  Thinking of this, the girl also made a decision immediately.

   No matter what, we must find him, maybe from him, we can find a way to revive our friends!

   Then, there is only one way.

  I once saw him in the master's college, although I don't know what he went there for, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will go...!

  Thinking of this, the girl also packed up her mood, then arranged her clothes, and then left the apartment, preparing to go to the master's academy—then, the girl stopped.

  Because she clearly saw, under the shade of trees not far from the street, that dark, tall figure was standing there, staring at herself silently.

  “………”

  The young girl's mood suddenly became a little complicated, as if she had just made up her mind to travel across mountains and rivers to find someone, but the person was waiting outside just after she left...

  But she still took a deep breath, then met the other person's gaze, and walked towards the black figure step by step.

   So tall.

Although I have met him several times, it is the first time to observe him at such a close distance during the day. Just standing in front of the latter, the girl feels a strange sense of oppression, as if standing in front of her. It's not a human, it's more like a giant animal like an elephant, which makes people want to keep a distance from him.

   However, as a lady, of course she will not lose her manners.

   "Hello, sir, I'm Mary Clarissa Christie. Please allow me to express my solemn thanks to you for saving me from danger several times."

"Aha……"

  However, to Mary's surprise, facing her words, the other party just sighed silently.

   "Sure enough, you can see me."

"Why?"

   "Come with me, let's go for a walk."

   After saying this, Duanmuhuai turned around and walked forward, while Mary hesitated for a moment and followed behind him.

  The two of them walked along the river bank like this. They didn't speak for a while. After an unknown amount of time, the man finally spoke.

   "How is your body?"

   "Huh? Thanks to you, I'm fine, it's just Charlie..."

   "Charlie?"

   "Ah, yes, it's my friend, Charlotte Bronte. She is still in a deep sleep... She has been seen by many doctors, but she still hasn't woken up."

"oh?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "Haven't woken up yet?"

   "Yes, please forgive me, if you can, please help..."

"no problem."

  Unexpectedly by Mary, Duanmuhuai nodded quickly.

   "Take me to see her."

"OK!"

She did not expect to get the permission so smoothly, and Mary was also very happy. Soon, she brought Duan Muhuai to her friend's house, but what surprised Mary was that when she came to her friend's house, she was responsible for taking care of her friend. The maid only greeted herself, and did not respond to the man beside her.

   "Don't worry, it's just a small cover-up. I don't want others to pay attention to me."

  Although she didn't know what was going on, Mary didn't have time to think about these strange questions. She brought Duanmuhuai to the room where Xia Li was sleeping, and Duanmuhuai finally saw the sleeping beauty.

"I see……"

   Staring at the sleeping girl lying on the bed, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a moment, then he turned his head and looked at Mary.

   "Tell me what happened to you that day first."

   Afterwards, Duanmu Huai spoke.
