Leila came back casually, following behind the strong man.
It was a very dim place, with no lights on and almost no light source. It is like a corner ignored by the world, hidden in the market.
They walked through a dark corridor, the doors and windows along the way were dilapidated and old, and there was no breath of life in each room. Water dripped from the eaves, pattering like some kind of rhythmic movement.
Before entering the door, there was the sound of something breaking.
"Ahhh, I'm so irritated!"
man's voice. Followed by a series of clattering noises, it sounded like something that was piled up was kicked to the ground roughly by him.
"It's terrible." The man hummed with embarrassment, "It's really annoying to stay in this place all day, unable to tear anything up..."
"Calm down, Kasim." The woman's voice sounded, "As I said, it's not the time yet. It's very stupid to rush into the human world without knowing anything, don't be like that annoying little girl.…”
"Layla?"
Mentioning this man named Kasim made him even more angry.
"Only she is outside, but we have to stay here all the time." Kasim's voice became more and more indistinct, "Die, die, die!"
Then there was the sound of a blunt impact, as if something had been shattered. The whole house seemed to shake and dust fell from the roof.
"Kasim."
The woman's voice raised a few degrees. The man named Kasim grunted again and didn't answer, but he seemed to restrain himself from the movement.
"Try not to demolish this place, we still need it. It would be bad if it collapsed and attracted extra attention." The woman's voice softened a little, and she continued, "Don't worry, we will find the little girl to settle the score of.
She'll learn the importance of knowing how to listen to people..."
Leila walked into the dark room with a blank expression, and stood grimly in a corner of the shadow.
"I'm here." She said indifferently, "Let's talk if you have anything to say."
"Oh? Just about to..."
The woman sat in the seat and turned sideways, revealing half of her broad chest.
The strong man leading the way in front of Leila walked up to the woman and smiled: "I brought her back."
"Well done, Usak." The woman smiled, "I knew I could count on you."
The man named Usak couldn't help laughing, as if there was nothing more pleasing in the world. He stood on the side of the woman's seat, and seemed to be trying to make his posture more natural, but it seemed that he finally couldn't resist the temptation of a bottomless ravine. He had a strange expression, a sort of smile on his face.
It may seem like some kind of sweet dream of being welcomed in the lanes and walking alone on the avenue.
Leila made no secret of her contemptuous gaze towards him.
Oh, isn't it just big.
What's so good about it? I can't bore you to death.
boring.
"Is there anything to say?" The woman in the seat looked at her.
The girl glanced at her, but said nothing.
"You are causing us trouble." The woman said bluntly, "I have emphasized it many times, low-key, low-key, and low-key. This time, it has been too long since I woke up last time, and threats have begun to appear in the human world.
And the strongest among us is too far away from the goal of being fully resurrected, we can't make a perfect body together..."
"That's why we need nourishment, right?" Layla's voice has no warmth, "Without nourishment, without the nourishment of human emotions, we will never reach the state we need.
So I went out and proactively collected, to help me get back to my best form faster—when you're all hunkered down and afraid to go out. "
The irascible man named Kasim said: "I think she makes sense. We really shouldn't have..."
"Shut up, Kasim."
The woman in the seat scolded impatiently, but Kasim immediately fell silent.
You've drawn too much attention, and it's likely that you'll be ruined—or worse, implicated us—before you regain enough strength.
So it's not just your business, girl. Before you take every action, every word you say, I suggest you think very, very carefully. "
Leila looked at her indifferently. The eyes of the two sides collided in the air, and they didn't speak for a while. There was silence in the dark room for a while, only the drops of water on the eaves outside the door slapped on the ground.
After a long while, Leila continued to make a sound and let out a chuckle.
"It seems that your form has wasted too much essence on those two clumps of useless fat, so that you have no guts left." She sneered, "Maybe you are no longer suitable to be the one to make the decision, Ophelia. "
Before the woman could speak, Usak, who seemed to be immersed in the dream of walking alone on the avenue, suddenly took a step forward.
"Take that sentence back."
Usak seemed to have changed suddenly, his tone dropped sharply, cold and low, and even the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
"What? Can't accept the irony of your beloved Lady Ophelia?" Leila said calmly, ignoring his threatening gaze.
Usak's face became even more gloomy. He took a step forward, as if he was about to strike at a disagreement, but was stopped by Ophelia.
"Forget Usak, there's no need."
Ophelia slumped into the seat lazily, and the half-exposed headlights flickered violently.
"You seem to have a lot of opinions on us." Ophelia looked at the girl, "Yes, I know you used to be like this, but you haven't reacted as violently as you did when you woke up this time."
Leila's eyes slowly swept across the remaining three people in the room, her eyes were as cold as looking at dead objects.
"Of course. Look at you, look at yourselves, half-dead, posing. We all know what it is, deep down we all know what we are.
But what did you do? You pretend not to know. Yeah, act like it's all right, like we're supposed to be. Haha, big joke. Seeing yourselves, pathetic looking, pretending like you care...it's disgusting. "
Her tone became lower and lower, and her expression became more and more disgusted.
No one spoke.
All three people focused their eyes on her, but no one refuted.
A moment later, Ophelia leaned back in the chair, raising her long and proudly curved legs.
"You know when you say that," she said slowly, "you count yourself in, right?"
Leila looked at her directly, expressionless, and said nothing. But the look in her eyes said it all.
The two stared at each other in silence for a moment.
"Okay." Ophelia said calmly, "We have nothing to talk about."
"Yes." Leila also said, "There is nothing to say."
It was the only moment in the conversation where the two sides agreed.
The girl in the foreign dress turned around and left the room without looking back.
The three remaining people in the darkness didn't speak for a while, only the sound of water droplets hitting the ground from the eaves.
…
Dark night ~www.mtlnovel.com~ No moon, no stars. The girl walked alone on the street in the dead of night, alone, and her shadow was stretched very long by the street lamps.
She didn't seem to know where she was going, nor did she have a clear direction, she just moved forward mechanically.
Where else can I go? She does not belong to this era, does not belong to this world, does not belong to any place. She's not even human, she's just trying to make herself look like them, but she knows that's not true.
She kept going until she was forced to stop.
The street lamp went out with a snap.
The girl stopped and raised her head slowly.
In the darkness, her eyes glowed with a faint blue light.
A bat in the dark is reflected in the eyes.
