The petite girl clenched her teeth, as if she did not want to let out a moan symbolizing weakness from her mouth even if she bit her gums. The silver-white moonlight did not know when it crossed the chimney and hit the pale face,
Traces of dark red blood seeped out from the corners of her mouth, slowly dripping down, like gorgeous poppies blooming under the moon.
The body that couldn't help but tremble, the pupils that were dilated to the extreme, and the wrists that had lost their color due to too much force... The smell of death was lingering. The little girl on the roof was easily reminiscent of the thin ceiling of the hospital, and the pungent smell
The smell of disinfectant liquid, the sheets as white as snow, and the doctors wearing white coats of the same color, she was like a leukemia patient, waiting for the final verdict in emptiness and suffering.
Ringer was the only one who witnessed this scene. He knew that he was powerless and could not change anything, but there was something he could do. That was the meaning of what he was standing here at this moment. So, he did the same thing as last time
The figure of the dying little girl wrapped in woods, flowers and green ivy overlaps with the little girl huddled on the back of the chimney to avoid the moonlight.
, once again shows that there is no reincarnation of memory, only new life.
"So," his voice was calm, serious, and very powerful: "Do you need me to pray for you, Miss Leticia?"
Leticia suddenly froze, forgetting the pain and despair of approaching death for a moment. She had never felt such a familiar feeling in her short memory, as if she heard these words not at this moment, but in
There were vague impressions a long time ago, and they were always spoken by the same person on the same occasion and for the same reason.
If I remember correctly, that person should have said other things.
For example, everyone needs someone to pray for him, whether it is a homeless man on the street, a noble in the manor, a worker in the factory, or a girl who falls in front of me at this moment.
For example, it is the duty of a priest to wash away the dust from the souls of the deceased and purify their untainted remembrances and deep sorrow.
as well as--
The voice of the soul can convey blessings, and the voice of piety can communicate with the Holy Spirit.
The souls of the dead who do not receive prayers cannot ascend to the goddess' heaven and receive her comfort and recognition.
Many, many words, incomprehensible words, words that I clearly don’t want to remember but always remember, why do they keep echoing in my ears? Who is that person? Is it grandma? No, no, that is the voice of a young man, it is me
Someone you know? It must be right? Otherwise, how could you make yourself feel familiar? A little annoying, but also a little happy. What's going on with such a complicated mood? Should I agree to him? Should I reject him? Should I reject him?
Will you... always remember him?
In the gradually blurring memory, the girl grinned in a place where Ringer could not see, and said in a low voice: "No, it doesn't matter - you can say whatever you want."
"I -" She took a quick breath, and the pressure from her heart made her suffocate. Something unclear whether it was sweat or teardrops hung on her slender eyelashes, blurring the girl's sight:
"I can listen, I can hear it, so——
"So," the young man took over calmly, "just let me pray for you."
Leticia didn't speak, but she let out a whimper like a wounded cub from her throat, which was regarded as consent.
Ringer slowly closed his eyes, erasing the girl's weak and helpless posture from his sight. At the same time, his upper and lower lips collided slightly, and a soft whispering prayer came out from his lips and teeth. At this time, the whole world seemed to have lost its voice.
, becoming as quiet as the moonlight, allowing his prayers to transcend the barriers between memory and reality, and be deeply imprinted in the souls of the prayed -
"My God in heaven, I owe you my confession."
"The hypocrisy in the name of kindness caused me to forgive a suffering person without permission."
"From now on, I am willing to act for her sins, as well as those who have been hurt by her."
"All joy and longing return to her dream."
"All the pain and uneasiness are engraved in my heart."
…
He prayed for her on the ground, while she listened to his prayers on the roof. There seemed to be traces of red roses and blue roses growing on the edges of the broken stained glass windows.
Time passed by, in the clear night, under the cold moonlight, outside a church that was once watched by the goddess and now only guides the wisdom in people's hearts to enlightenment, the former priest but took off his white robe on his own initiative.
The young man whispered the last prayer: "May she and the innocent people live in your worry-free country."
"We, the earthly people, are with the goddess."
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of clear ruby eyes, hanging upside down under the eaves of the church, like the stray cats that can be seen everywhere in the streets. They were wary and alienated from strangers, but at the same time revealed
He was a bit curious, as if he was wondering why this human being appeared here, in front of him.
"Who are you?"
She asked, her voice carrying a crispness and purity as if she were coming to this world for the first time.
"Linge." The young man introduced himself with two simple words, and then asked her: "Do you want to go find your grandma?"
"No." Leticia wrapped her body tightly with two black bat wings, as if she was wearing a black windbreaker, and shook her head warily: "Grandma asked me to wait here, so I won't
Walk."
It seems that there is no need to worry about her making a big fuss after finding her grandma.
I don't know why, but Leticia has obviously become much more well-behaved after this reincarnation, and she didn't even show any obvious hostility to the stranger in front of her. This made Linger feel relieved.
"So," the girl hanging upside down from the eaves asked again, "who are you?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t this question just asked?
Ling Ge looked at her strangely and had to repeat his previous answer: "Ling Ge, this is my name."
"I didn't ask for your name." Leticia's tone was slightly impatient. Her suspicious eyes looked back and forth at the young man: "What I asked is, who are you? Why do I think you are so familiar?"
?And your voice sounds familiar, like I’ve heard it often before?”
This was the first time Ringer encountered this situation. He was startled for a moment, and after regaining consciousness, he opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then a surprise call came from behind: "Ah! Leticia, so you are here.
ah!"
Ringer and Leticia both cast their gazes in the direction of the sound, and then saw the pink-haired little girl running towards the church with a little goblin on her head. She seemed to be in a hurry and ran to the door of the church.
She didn't even have time to stand still before she gasped and said, "Finally, I finally found you, Leticia! Whoops! Where did you go? You made me and Xie Mi worried to death!"
"I'm not worried!" Xie Mi, who was sitting above her, snorted coldly, writing the words "I am very arrogant" on his face.
"Okay, okay, don't say that, Semi. All in all, it's a good thing to find someone. Leticia, don't be so impulsive next time. You suddenly smashed the window and flew away, which shocked Semi and I.
!" The pink-haired little girl said, looking at Leticia with expectant eyes, hoping to get a promise from her friend, or even a perfunctory promise.
However, the girl hanging on the eaves tilted her head: "Who are you?"
"Eh!?"
Metien was stunned. She looked at Leticia and then at her brother. After a while, she realized what had happened. The light in her eyes gradually went out, and her expression became depressed and listless.
The appearance makes people feel very distressed.
Lin Ge was silent for a while, then suddenly put his hand on his sister's shoulder, and then gently pushed her towards Leticia.
When the little pink-haired girl had a panic look on her face and tried to turn around and ask her brother with her eyes, he held her head down and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, Meridian, come and meet your new friend."
