271. People crowd around the exorcist to help him find lost companions
"She is like the moonlight, shining on my heart."
The young and handsome aristocrat, dressed in gorgeous and exaggerated clothes, chanted with great concentration.
"She wears a false mask, and everything she says is lying to you." said the short old woman with an ugly hooked nose and a stooped back like a witch.
The young noble showed anger, pulled out his rapier, pointed the tip of the sword at the old woman, and moved his legs covered in pure white silk cloth: "Wizard, I will not listen to your slander, get away, or die!"
"Pathetic little noble...you will pay the price for your choice today."
The young nobleman approached, the old woman opened her mouth and uttered a sharp curse, her cloak was pulled up like a bat's wings by a transparent string, and she walked backwards back behind the scenes.
There were not many audiences for this play performed in the square. There were only some children and numb old people gathered in front of the stage, as well as residents who happened to pass by.
"Will anyone really watch this kind of thing?" Elena dismissed stories or talking dramas.
However, when passing through the square, she and Lu Li inevitably listened to the subsequent story.
The heroine then appeared on the stage, and when getting along with the young nobleman, it was accidentally revealed that she had indeed deceived the male protagonist. The young nobleman who completely believed in her could not forgive this betrayal, and walked into the wilderness alone.
Before Lu Li left, the heroine, with messy hair, lifted skirt, and bare feet, was looking around for the hero.
A few minutes later, Lu Li and Elena were stopped by the guard in front of Viscount Hamis's residence.
"I am an exorcist, and your exorcist guests are my companions," Lu Li said.
The two doormen looked at each other, and one of them entered the manor to convey the message. He came back quickly with red and swollen slap marks on his face.
"Master Khamis is being treated by an exorcist, and they don't want to be disturbed." He said vaguely, but without any complaints. "Sorry, I can't let you two in."
Lu Li frowned and said, "You can call the housekeeper."
"The housekeeper was eaten by a monster..."
Elena gripped the spear tightly and tried to rush in, but Lu Li stopped her.
"Let's leave first." Lu Li said calmly, and Elena disappeared from the guard's sight with unwillingness.
"The gatekeepers can only bully ordinary people, I can quickly deal with them." Elena said. The opportunity to solve the weirdness in Helen Town was right in front of her, and she was unwilling to give up just like that.
"No need."
Lu Li walked around to the side of the manor and looked at the fence, which was only two meters high. He stepped on it without hesitation and browsed through the fence.
Bang.
Lu Li landed smoothly in the withered garden of the manor.
"..."
Elena silently handed the spear to Lu Li, climbed up the fence more vigorously, and landed lightly.
The guard would not take another glance at the manor, and the servants thought Lu Li was the Viscount's guest, especially after Lu Li entered the mansion and asked a maid.
"Where are the Exorcist and Viscount Hamis?" Lu Li said. "I am her companion."
The maid glanced at Elena curiously, and then her vision was filled with Lu Li's figure. She took a deep breath and said, "The exorcism is over. Lord Exorcist went to the guest room to rest. Lord Hamis returned to the study -"
"Take me to the Exorcist."
"Okay sir." The maid nodded respectfully and led Lu Li and Elena to the third floor of the mansion.
Knock knock knock——
The maid knocked on the guest room door, but there was no response.
Elena stepped forward at this time and pushed open the guest room door with the maid whispering.
The room was empty.
"Your companion is not here." Elena said to Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at the maid. The maid asked Lu Li to wait and found another maid to ask about the exorcist's whereabouts: "Where is the exorcist?"
"She was invited to the study by Hamis. Are there any guests looking for her?" The maid looked curiously at Lu Li and Elena beside the door.
"Um."
"You can let the guests wait here. Miss Exorcist should be back soon." The maid said, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Li secretly before walking away.
"You can..." When she returned to her side, the maid suddenly paused in her words. She thought that she could not let the guests wait in the corridor. "...wait in the guest room for now. The exorcist will be back soon."
It was against the rules to enter the guest room, but the maid thought that Lu Li and the exorcist lady might be good friends.
"Thanks."
Lu Li nodded lightly. When the maid left, he and Elena walked into the guest room and waited.
Elena looked at the decoration in the guest room, including the burgundy blanket, the hollow curtains on the snow-white bed, and the expensive oil paintings.
Elena, wearing animal fur and holding a spear, is out of place here.
Elena walked to the window. Outside the window, there were withered bushes and low, gray buildings stretching outside the manor in the distance.
"Why do they seem to like you so much?" Elena turned around and asked.
"Maybe it's my superior humanity." Lu Li said.
"But I don't seem to feel it..." Elena returned to Lu Li and looked at him strangely: "Can I try?"
"What."
After the words fell, Elena grabbed Lu Li's hand with her rough palm.
Rapid breathing gradually sounded in the quiet bedroom.
"Your condition is not right." Lu Li withdrew his palm and said.
The disappearance of contact not only failed to wake Elena up, but made her crave contact even more.
A huge force came, and Lu Li was pushed down by Elena and fell onto the soft bed. Elena sat up astride him and pressed her unfamiliar cheek against Lu Li's face.
When the two faces were about to touch, a palm lay between them. Lu Li pressed Elena's cheek and pushed her away.
Elena, who refused to give up, entangled her limbs and pressed her body against her. Lu Li bent his knees and pushed against Elena's abdomen. There was a dull collision sound, and Elena was knocked to the ground. She covered her lower abdomen and was unable to get up due to the severe pain.
After the Doomsday Apocalypse increases, Lu Li's power can suppress Elena.
Lu Li stood up and frowned as he looked at Elena who was lying on the blanket and holding her belly while she continued to breathe.
Is it just Elena's impulse or a side effect of human nature?
"Stay awake." Lu Li said.
Elena seemed to say something, but it was covered by the sound of breathing.
At the same time, approaching footsteps were heard outside the corridor.
Lu Li's eyes fell on the door. His footsteps got closer and closer, stopping outside the door.
Click——
The door handle was pressed down, and a girl in a cloak appeared in the corridor.
She had a beautiful face and short, smooth hair. The girl saw Lu Li looking calmly in the guest room and Elena lying beside her with a painful look on her face.
"Who are you?"
The girl in front of the door asked with doubts.
She is not Anna.
Lu Li was still calm, but his eyes were slightly lowered.
"Demon Slayer Lu Li, I thought you were my companion. Sorry, we are leaving now."
He walked to Elena and helped her up.
"Lu Li."
When I was about to leave, a familiar gentle call suddenly sounded.
Lu Li's black eyes were filled with waves, and he raised his eyes to look at the balcony.
Anna, with an illusory figure, sat on the fence, her snow-white calves swaying gently, her familiar white skirt and silky hair flying in the wind.
