Chapter 22 Reversal

I walked down the spinning steps.

I was locked up in the small room for a month and I was able to see this classical hall today.

Under the gorgeous chandeliers is a long mahogany dining table, and Doron is enjoying his hearty lunch.

I took the somewhat bulky bag that Sally handed over.

Her eyes were subtly staggered from me.

We are about to part, but we are speechless.

I turned around and walked towards the gate of the villa in the forest, and reached out to the brass door handle.

The moment I touched the handle, the thick door was pulled open from the outside.

I stared out the door in a daze.

There were two people outside the door, a man and a woman.

The man is wearing a black leather jacket and the woman is wearing a light blue silk jacket.

The man had an inconspicuous brown scabbard around his waist, and the hilt was made of some dark synthetic metal.

His left hand seemed to be on the scabbard.

When the woman saw me inside the door, she looked surprised.

Ah…Mr. Kaya!

You're right, it's really here.The woman said to the man next to her.

Um.The man nodded.

How are you?Although the woman asked me this, her steps around me and looked into the room.

Ah, Miss Sally is here, and... Mr. Doron?

Sheila... I recognized the woman in front of me, and when I looked at the man's face, it was indeed Noria.

There are some people you want to come, but they don’t come.

When you think they won't come, they're here.

Sheila and Noria entered the house one after another.

Doron's scream suddenly rang.Who are you?!

He stood up while slamming the table, and his stomach pushed forward, and the wine glass fell down, turning around and falling to the ground, breaking open.

Well... don't be nervous, I am Sheila, this is Noria, the adventurer of the kingdom.Sheila said.... Because no one answered, this strange atmosphere made Sheila decide to say more.

...A month ago, there was an abnormal magic fluctuation outside the outskirts of the capital, and there was a breath of succubus.Sheila looked at Sally sitting in the chair.

Later, the association also received a case of missing from the chamber of commerce.

But since everyone is fine, you can tell me what happened here.

Noria walked straight to Doron.

A cold feeling climbed onto Doron's back.

Sally protects me!Doron ignited the red flames with his hands, and he was already skillful and comfortable in ordering Sally.

Sally simply turned over the dining table and blocked between Doron and Noria.

Is this... a guardian contract?Sheila frowned.

How did you

Before Sheila could finish her words, Noria suddenly approached Sally, and black flames appeared in her right hand and pointed to her forehead.Noria was moving very quickly, but Sally swung her claws away.

Suddenly a flash of light exploded and the dining table exploded from the middle. I took a step back in surprise and hit the door, while Sally was knocked away and fell into the corner by the fireplace.

Doron screamed and turned around and ran towards the corridor.

Don't run away!Sheila chased after him.

When Sally got up, she had completely turned into a succubus posture, and her overall momentum was several times stronger than before.

Noria took two steps to the left, blocking between Sally and the corridor.

Wait...Don't hurt Sally!I felt what was about to happen and blurted out my words.Immediately afterwards, a strange force overturned me and pushed me out a few meters outside the door.

When I came back to my senses, a fierce impact had erupted in the door.

I nervously felt the oncoming violent magic fluctuations, but I was at a loss.

The wall with moss hanging fell off and turned into powder in the air. The cracked window burst into pieces, and frightened birds flew around.

Then, the loud bang and impact suddenly stopped.

I hesitated for a second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds... In the fifth second, I ran towards the door.

Standing alone, lying alone.

Noria was the one standing, and he stood steadily.

Sally!I rushed to Sally.

She fainted.Noria looked around the hall, her eyes finally resting in the hallway where Doron and Sheila disappeared.There were burning marks on Sally's chest, but the breath was still there.

What's going on with her?Noria asked.

It was the spell of the servant scroll, which made her listen to Doron's orders...

Noria nodded slightly.

When will Sally wake up?

Let's go in a while.Noria said, then looked into the corridor again.

There was a silent sound in the corridor.

Stay here, don't walk around casually.Noria finished speaking and walked into the depths of the corridor.

I stroked Sally's cheeks, her breath gradually calming down, but she didn't respond to my words and touches.Sally's hair felt a little rougher.

……………………

I was with Sally and didn't feel that the wait was long.

The whole villa is extremely quiet.

When I finally realized this, I panicked.

Doron, Sheila, Noria.There was no sound in the corridor, and the three of them seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.This is a very strange situation.

The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, the wall lights were turned off, and the depths were pitch black.

I thought I had been waiting long enough, so I walked into the depths of the corridor.

Turning two turns, a board was supported on the ground at the end, leaving a slightly larger square hole. The underground passage that should have been hidden in the dark grid is now open.

What will be below this?

I walked down the stairs of the access road and walked into the underground floor in more than a dozen steps.

The mossy stone wall, the prison with iron locks, and the huge torture instrument that does not match the size of a human...

Glowing stones were scattered on the lamp holder, and there were strange sounds in the room not far away.

In the strange feeling, I bent down and walked carefully towards the sounding position.

The closer you get, the more you can hear the sound coming from the room.

The slight moans of men and women, and the sound of a physical collision that I knew so much.

The door was covered in vain, and the faint light returned to the view in the house.

Sheila is a former kingdom guard captain who is loved and respected by the people of the kingdom, and a star-level adventurer with the title of Morning Light Paladin.

In terms of strength, she is undoubtedly one of the most powerful women in the kingdom.

So I can't believe my eyes.

Sheila knelt on the ground, her blue ponytail scattered on her naked back.

She was as delicate as a flower swaying in the wind.

Doron was behind her, pounding violently.

Her face was filled with joy.

It's all mine, you're all mine... Doron growled excitedly.

This was undoubtedly the most satisfying moment for Doron.

At such moments, no one will think of danger, no one will think of death.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the door suddenly opened.

A ball of black shadow swept in.

Three cold stars shot into Doron's back like lightning!

……………………

Noria teleports me and Sally back to the Adventurers Association in the capital.

I saw with my own eyes that the mark of the servant contract on Sally fades and then disappears.

Well... there is no problem, you guys go back.The doctor said.

Being saved with Sally is too good to be better.

But a constant and intense anger, sadness and unknown gloom lingered in my heart.

When Sally woke up, she lay on the bed, looking at me with an unidentified look.

I feel like I want to vomit.

When I returned to the grocery store, it was already dark.

The smell of the house is a little strange.

On the dining table, the apples in the fruit plate were shriveled, and a thin layer of dust covered it.

I pulled the stool away, it made an annoying rubbing sound, and I sat on it.

Sally leaned against the edge of the kitchen door, stroking her right arm with her left hand.

what's on your mind?

I think it's very quiet.

what's on your mind?

...I'm wondering if you're angry.

I'm angry, what do you want to do?

……

But now I feel better.

Why?

Because it is very quiet here and I feel better without your moans in my ears.

……sorry.

Isn't you feeling very uncomfortable if you don't have a big dick fucking you tonight?

...Don't say that.

Isn't it?

...No, so what?Yes, so what?

Yes, yes, whether it is yes or not, Doron is dead, and there is no such big dick to stab you again.

……

Why, you feel uncomfortable even if Doron dies, right?

……

Sally covered her heart and turned around and ran up the stairs, followed by the sound of the bedroom door being closed heavily.

I was so angry, so sad that I could not feel Sally's heart and control my words.

Even though I said such words to hurt Sally, I didn't feel much regret at that time.

Her sins, her faults, her misfortune, and her indifference to me kept flashing in my mind....

The disappointment with Sally ignited anger.

Disappointment with oneself condensed into loss.

In the somewhat dark kitchen, I buried my head and let the messy thoughts disturb my thoughts.

Why did everything become like this?

Something went wrong?

If...if I ran away from the Deep Forest Villa early... wouldn't Sally sink?

I shouldn't have let Sally meet Doron... Why didn't I stop her then?

Didn’t I protect Doron and get rid of him ruthlessly, so I wouldn’t have these pains?No...Sally shouldn't have been allowed to get along with Doron at the beginning

……………………

At the end of the thought, I asked a question with extreme anxiety and sadness: Is it a mistake to meet Sally?No one can answer this question.

The breeze cannot answer.

The night cannot answer.

The lake water caused a slight turmoil, and Goddess Rohl could not answer.

All the problems disappeared in the moonlight.

I walked up the stairs and stopped briefly in front of the bedroom.

In the end, I didn’t go to the bedroom to sleep with Sally, but slept in the small bed in the next room.

……

The love between humans and demons is as rare as the morning stars, and I will help you with this time...

……

When I opened my eyes, I forgot where I was.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians.

Outside the window, there was a familiar but unfamiliar appearance.

I stood in front of the window for a while before I remembered Sally.

I opened the bedroom door and the wind that poured in from the window blew over the vase beside the window.

The water in the vase has dried up, so the flowers are also withered.

The broken petals sprinkled on the opened notepad and were blown to the ground.

There are a few lines of words written on the notepad.

I went out to relax.The first line is written like this.

XXXXXX The second line was painted off.

XXXX The third line was also painted.

Come back in a while.The fourth line is written like this.

I read these lines three times and looked around again.

I called Sally and listened carefully to the sound in the room, but there was no response.

That morning, Sally suddenly left.

At that time, I accepted the status quo very numbly.

I feel like I can't face Sally... Maybe she's the same.

……

Sally wasn't around and I was distracted by my job at the grocery store.

Siro, a partner of the Chamber of Commerce, occasionally brought me a meal and had fun at night.

Not long after, the village chief of my hometown brought his naughty grandson to the capital and forced him to be an apprentice.The business of the grocery store is also as usual, with endless customers.

How long does it take for a while?

The leaves of the old tree on the street fell all over the ground, but Sally did not appear.

I started to miss Sally.

I thought Sally would hide in the dark, so I bought the food she liked and tried to lure her out, but I didn't succeed.

I followed clues to Sally's clues until the missing person notice was posted in the surrounding towns.I waved to every bat I met, what if they were Sally's Night Demon?

The news fell to the sea, and Sally disappeared without a trace.

Don't Sally want to see me?

She is not seen in the border town, hometown, and lakeside.

The more I searched for it, the more I regretted why I didn’t keep her.

Three months later, when it was snowing heavily in the royal city, I became scared.

I was afraid that I would never see Sally again.

I went crazy and suspected the Adventurers Association, Sheila and Noria, and suspected Sally's disappearance was a conspiracy planned by the powerful Holy Church.

The nightmare made me sleepless all night, and I searched for Sally's whereabouts at all costs. The high expenses forced me to switch off the grocery store.

But the investigation results made me almost believe that Sally disappeared out of thin air in the world.

Half a year later, an alarm for monster invasion came from the Western Magic Peak Mountains.

This is unpredictable, and monsters should not gather so quickly.

Countless vicious demons surged from the horizon, and the joint defense line composed of many countries quickly fell apart.The sky above the capital continued to float with blood-red mist.

The night before the monster approached, the moon was emitting an unusually shocking red light.

The last group of people who fled left, and I was still hiding in the city, relying on an absurd reason: maybe the missing Sally returned to the Demon Realm, and was in the tide of monsters at this time...

The next evening, a small group of toothed wolves arrived in the capital. That night, the howling and screaming in the city were unconscious.

Their sense of smell was too sharp, and several toothed wolves continued to linger near the drain hole where I was hiding, and I could even smell the bloody smell on them.

Fear overcame obsession. I took advantage of the night to escape from the groundwater road and fled northward without stopping for a moment, trying to catch up with the refugees.

In the morning, I saw more than a dozen extraordinarily large birds flying over their heads in a row and landing on the road ahead of them.

It looked like their beaks could easily pick up a person, so I changed direction and headed north.

After walking for a few days, I was exhausted and came to the shore of Lake Roll.

The lake is blue, which makes me recall the past briefly.

Those wonderful times tied my neck like noose, making it difficult for me to breathe.

I was extremely unwilling to give up, and in the end I got along with Sally like that.

A hoarse scream came from the sky, and another group of terrifying birds passed by the clouds.

During the days of escape, all I saw were hellish scenes.

So I walked towards the lake water and swam to the bottom of the lake with my eyes closed. I had a good water quality and quickly touched the soil.

The soil was very soft. I lay at the bottom of the lake, and the mud and sand rose up and fell on my face. Fortunately, I didn't have to breathe and wouldn't be choked.

The entire lake water pressed on me, my hands and feet gradually became numb, and I spit out bubbles from my mouth bit by bit.

But in the end, I couldn't see Sally again

……………………

Wake up...

……

What does the underworld look like?Will there be a group of demons?

I slowly opened my eyes, and the shadow of my narrow red pupils looked down at me in front of me.

Who are you?

The shadow approached, and he leaned slightly, and the moonlight outlined the outline of his facial features.

It was a very beautiful face, just a frown tightly, a confused look.

Sally...

You...why are you here?

Because you keep shouting and pounding the wall.

What shouting?

...Lin, are you having a nightmare?

A nightmare?Didn’t I sneak into Lake Roll…in the underworld now?

I moved a little, and the old bed beneath me squeaked.

What?I... am I back in the past?

I've obviously experienced so many things...

The note left by Sally, drinking with Siro to the end of the night, a small list of items when selling the grocery store, a blood-red sky and a terrifying monster...

……………………

etc……

When I recall these things, they suddenly become unthinkable and unreal.

Whenever I try to recall some reliable details, those subtle memories are like grains of sand, wrapped in the boundless sea by the chaotic tide, and can never come back.

Alas... Sally sighed.

Your body was covered in sweat and your clothes were soaked.

I'll get you a new one...

Sally turned around and was about to leave, and I quickly grabbed her hand.

what?Sally was a little surprised.

Don't leave, don't leave.

I...you left a note and disappeared. Later, I kept searching for you but couldn't find you. I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you...

Ah…Did you say you were in a dream?

……have no idea.

Sally walked over and sat down beside the bed, but I still held her hand and refused to let go.

... I just held her hand tightly and looked at her face.

reality.

There is a real feeling.

I'm so happy.

……why are you laughing?

Hahaha……… I made a strange laugh.

Sally, don't look at my foolishness.

……

Lin, do you remember when I had a nightmare?

when?

It was the time when I just met you.

Well…it seems to have some impression.

At that time, the injury had not healed yet. It hurts to apply the herbs you put on me. You will have nightmares when you sleep at night...

Alas... Sally looked out the window and stopped talking.

I hugged Sally and lay on the bed and hugged her.

You're sweaty!Sally resisted.

... Sally was hugged tightly by me.

……

At that time, I always pulled you...I didn't want you to leave.Sally said quietly.

Guard Ulman has served as the city gate guard a year ago. He stood guard with three other guards on guard guarding the city gate from 2:00 to 8:00 every afternoon.

He was thirty-four years old and had a beautiful wife.

He was not in a good mood recently because he found that his wife would meet his lover while he was standing guard, the slick boy.

Ulman knew it wasn't the fault of the young boy.

He was furious at his wife several times, but his wife still did what she wanted and even didn't even clean up the scene the day before yesterday.Because his wife knew that he was not a man who would be harsh to women.

The weather is good today, I was wearing armor, and the wind was a little stronger and cooler.

In such comfortable weather, Ulman was able to temporarily let go of his depression.

Ulman's thick black brow stretched out.

Two people passed by the city gate.

……

I just went out to relax, why are you following me all the time?

No, you said you were relaxing before, but you never came back.

You're dreaming!dream!Why would I not come back to Ah?

Then I will relax with you, I am in a bad mood.

I want to relax myself.

Then do you want to find a man while I am not here?

Who wants to find a man?!

……

Ulman's brow frowned again.
