Chapter 27 Resolved
Chapter 27 Resolved
Caesar opened his eyes abruptly.
The moonlight poured on his face, which was too bright and dazzling.The cry of an unknown bug came from the grass, and the An Mi here seemed extremely illusory to the battle just now. He had a feeling that he suddenly stepped on the ground while walking on the road.
Caesar got up, looked at the front blankly, and just stood there for a few minutes, not thinking about where this place was, nor whether it was dangerous.
He is alone here because he made the choice to leave Ebner and Byrd on the other side.
As if waking up suddenly, Caesar shuddered, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him, but the wall disappeared without a trace after throwing him into this space simply and roughly.
There is only a huge laurel tree standing there suddenly, the rich dark green stretches towards the sky, diluted by the moonlight at the highest point, the color gradually fades, as if covered by a layer of light veil, dotted with pure light balls like stars Among them, it is as beautiful as not sticking to the mundane smoke and dust.
This is no longer trapped in their manor before.
Caesar realized this belatedly, the blood rushed up, and a slight tingling sensation permeated from the apex of his heart, followed by other sensations flooding up layer by layer like a tide, submerging his whole body in an instant.
Taking a breath, Caesar suppressed all his emotions expressionlessly, and only calmly thought about useful things.He is familiar with this process.
This place is obviously still a part of the illusion, if he wants to save Ebner and Byrd, he must get out of here first.If he doesn't act, it's all meaningless.
He hasn't left the illusion... Thinking of this, Caesar was relieved.It didn't go out, but it would have been a breakthrough anyway.
He has to seize this opportunity.
At this moment, he vaguely heard a faint sound coming from the grass in the distance on the other side.With little hesitation, Caesar walked straight there.
Pushing aside the tall thatch, his hand paused.
Inside squatted a girl in a long red dress, her face buried in her knees pitifully, motionless.
Hearing the voice, she quickly raised her head: "Brother..."
But after seeing the person coming, her voice stopped abruptly, and the bright smile froze on her face, and then disappeared bit by bit.The girl tightened herself up a little more, her lips pursed into a straight line.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Caesar didn't answer, because the girl in front of him was thirteen or fourteen-year-old Levi.Although he was the culprit, it was meaningless to shoot at a little girl who was probably just a phantom. He frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Caesar didn't think she would reply obediently, but Levi just lowered his eyelashes, stared at his toes, and said softly, "I'm hiding."
Caesar looked at her puzzled.
"I want to try to see if someone will come to me if I disappear." Levi continued, his tone getting lower and lower: "It's been a long time, and no one has come."
It was very quiet here, Caesar stared at her, and clearly heard the sound of tears streaming down his cheeks and dripping on his sleeves.
It seems that he still hasn't returned to reality. Caesar remembered what Levi said before, maybe this is a memory.
"Didn't Bird come too?" he asked.
The young Levi is so happy, while the adult Levi has a kind of unmoved arrogance and a deep disgust for the world, unlike the half-old child in front of him, although he is crying quietly, his eyes are deep But hope still shines everywhere.
She was waiting for someone to come to her, to prove that she was loved, which was pathetic and pathetic.
Caesar sat down beside her.Levi's appearance here must have its meaning-it must be meaningful.Levi's obsession permeates every part of this world, maybe he should try to say something to pull the girl out of the quagmire, thus dispelling the illusion.
It's a pity that he is not good at comforting others. After the spikes grow on his body, if he pulls them out, his flesh will be bloody.Since he was abandoned in the slums, he has always been good at sarcasm, and he will never change it. This is the imprint of life on him.
What's more, for a person who believes that the whole world is sorry for her, what's the point of simple comfort and explanation?She has a thousand reasons to refute you, because that's how she convinces herself.
Neither of them spoke.
After being quiet for a while, Caesar suddenly spoke and said bluntly, "Bird won't be coming."
Levi trembled, but did not respond.Her self-esteem made her unwilling to answer the conversation, but the subtle movements betrayed her thoughts.
Maybe······
With a move in his heart, Caesar continued calmly: "You actually knew this a long time ago, but you just don't want to admit it."
Levi's fingers trembled, she sniffed, glanced at Caesar, then wiped away the tears on her face, and raised her chin proudly: "...I'm not waiting for him."
"Then who are you waiting for?" Caesar stood up, looked down at her coldly, and asked, "The father who doesn't take you seriously? Or the servants who have nothing to do with you?"
The thoughts in his heart were said so unpreparedly, Levi's face turned pale, but he still insisted: "I didn't wait for anyone!"
"Yeah, you don't have anyone to wait for." Caesar said cruelly, Levi has her self-esteem, but words are like a knife, the cold tip of the knife pierces her heart, and the sharp blade presses towards her body bottom line.
"No one really cares about you." Unsheathed, dripping with blood.
There was a suffocating silence.
Levi stood up suddenly, straightened his chest, and stared at Caesar murderously: "Father will come."
"Why are you so sure? Your father has been ignoring you, hasn't he? He always only has the useless eldest son in his eyes."
"It's just because my brother likes to cause trouble, so my father spends more time helping him clean up the mess! He doesn't know that my brother likes to eat black bread, but he knows that I like irises!"
"This kind of trivial matter doesn't mean anything, it's just a coincidence." Caesar raised the corner of his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile: "What about Bird? Or you don't want him to come at all. Admit it, you want him to die .”
Levi choked.Caesar saw some black shadows jumping in her eyes, but it lacked the gloomy and cruel taste, more like burning black flames.
"It's not like that." The girl said every word: "My brother is very kind to me, very nice!"
Caesar looked at her unmoved, not letting go of even the slightest expression on her face: "Then, why didn't he ask your father to give you some attention?"
Levi raised his eyes sharply, and took a step back, as if there was a monster in front of him who chose to eat people, although the truth was the opposite.Cizer paused.Although he has been acting cold-blooded and ruthless, he actually has feelings.But none of that mattered, he had to go on, always.
"Bird didn't do this because he never really cared about you. Everything that hypocrite did for you was just to put himself on the moral high ground after monopolizing everything. Give you a little favor, just You don’t even have to bear the torment of your conscience, just think about it, what a bargain this is.”
Levi stared blankly at Caesar, as if desperately trying to understand the meaning of this passage, her expression was painful and confused, some black shadows slowly leaked out from under her feet, dancing, staining the corners of her clothes, climbing onto her Hair, making an uncomfortable rustling sound.
Then she heard Caesar continue, "No one in this family loves you."
"Shut up!" Levi screamed hysterically.
The black shadow suddenly exploded, and it grabbed Caesar's neck with an unbelievable speed, and the huge force kicked up a cloud of dust.Caesar was violently pulled in Levi's direction by a force.
Snapped.
A crisp slap landed on Caesar's face, the merciless force made his cheeks red and swollen quickly.Caesar turned his face sideways, ignoring the bloody smell in his mouth, and looked at the person in front of him unmoved: "Even if you don't believe it, this is the truth. The proof is that you have been here for a long time, but no one came to you .”
Levi clenched his fists: "It's not their fault, they would never think that I was hiding, they would only think that I went to the garden to read."
"It's already dinner time, there is one person missing at the table, is it true that no one noticed?"
"My brother must have thought I was in the room. He knew I would be angry if he disturbed me, so he must have secretly left dinner at the door of my room!"
"At least your father won't ask about it."
"But he will definitely order the kitchen to make my favorite meal the next day, and I hope I can come out to eat!"
"Yes." Caesar suddenly said lightly, "They love you."
"..." Levi habitually wanted to continue to refute, but suddenly stopped, staring at him with wide eyes.
Caesar repeated: "You actually understand that you are an important family member to Byrd and to your father, don't you?"
He is not good at explaining others, so this family ethics incident should be handed over to Levi to solve it by himself.I believe that no matter who it is, they will subconsciously refute the unpleasant remarks when they are emotionally unstable.And the reason given by oneself is the most credible.
But to be honest, Caesar didn't expect Levi's reaction to be so big-probably not even Levi.Perhaps Ebner is right in saying that people do get angry about things they really care about.
Caesar paused, showing a faint smile.He's not good at making faces like that, but there are always things in the world worth smiling about.
"Bird and your father, they are not a model family, maybe they always don't know your birthday, forget your preferences, maybe they didn't pay attention to your mood and whereabouts at all times, it took hours to figure out Will be slow to spot you running away from home. But what do they do when you're in danger?"
Levi looked at him blankly, the black shadow in his eyes receded quickly like a tide, as decisive and fast as it eroded.Although the eyeballs were still black, something was different, and there were brilliant bright colors shining in them.
"Yeah, I think they will stand in front of me without hesitation." She stayed for a while, slowly narrowed her eyes, looked at Caesar's smiling face, and suddenly laughed too, like an ordinary 13 year old girl.
"I am sure."
