Chapter 12 The Dragon of Babylon The Man Who Was Afraid of the Dark

When I walked to the square, I realized that the clothes on my body had already changed into the original ones. Fortunately, if I were to wear those ancient Roman clothes to show off in the market, the rate of turning heads would be too high. but----- Gululu... At this moment, my stomach groaned in disbelief. Alas, I'm penniless now... If you want to know, I promise that handsome guy to have a drink... Seeing that it was still early, and there was still a lot of time before the train arrived at midnight, I simply sat down on the square, touched my pocket, and found a piece of chocolate stuffed there at some time, just peeled off the candy wrapper, Suddenly, a pigeon flew from nowhere and quickly snatched the piece of chocolate away.

No way...so bad...even a pigeon bullies me... The pigeon stopped not far from me and swallowed the piece of chocolate triumphantly. "Be careful, I will stew you." I said a bird's language to it. Suddenly it flapped its wings and flew over again, landed affectionately on my shoulder, and murmured, "Master, it's me, your little hole!" The corner of my mouth twitched, and I turned to look at it, "You, are you Xiao Kong?" "That's right, master, you don't know me anymore?" It stared at a pair of small eyes aggrieved. "Nonsense, you suddenly changed from a peacock to a dove, how could I recognize it!" I was shocked, how could it follow me to modern times?Also, how can it change its shape at will?It's incredible, isn't it?

"Oh, last time I changed into a peacock and was almost eaten, it seems that I should change into a more ordinary shape." Xiao Kong flapped his wings, "Master, don't you think I'm cute like this?" "What kind of monster are you? How could you follow me to modern times?" I looked at it suspiciously.It's definitely, definitely not an ordinary bird. "Master, I am actually an elf of the bird tribe, so I can change the appearance of various birds at will. As for why I came here, because you saved me, so I followed you." It shook its head and said .

"What? If it's a bird elf, why did you ask me to save you last time?" "Every year, I have ten days without any mana. The last time I had no mana, I was caught. Fortunately, the master saved me, so the master will protect me in the future... ’ It’s also plausible. I grabbed it off my shoulders and gave an evil smile, "Follow me, okay... you know? I like roasted pigeon the most. It's fat and oily. Wahaha, that taste is really good..." I was obviously frightened by the appearance of drooling. "Master, I, I'll go and have a look there first!" It blinked its small black eyes and flashed quickly...

Watching it disappear from my sight, I put away the smile on my face, wondering why it can follow me from ancient times to modern times?If it's just an ordinary elf of the bird clan, it's impossible to have such mana. what is going on actually? The sun was setting and the night was gradually falling. I looked up at the sky, and the stars were twinkling in the black night, as if they were close at hand.Time goes by, and the years turn around. Although we are still under the same sky, everything has changed. There were still people coming and going in the square, and young men and women dressed in modern clothes walked past me with smiles.I got up and stretched, thinking it would be better to go to the train station earlier.

when crossing the square.I suddenly felt an inexplicable coolness, inadvertently, as if a cold breath passed by.I turned my head and saw the backs of a man and a woman. Almost at the same time, the man stopped and turned his head. Her long purple-silver hair fluttered in the wind, her eyes of the same color had a strange luster under the starlight, and there was a hint of a smile that was not a smile at the corner of her mouth. I stared straight at him, to see Ashley here!How did this vampire end up in Rome? He bowed his head and whispered a few words to the woman beside him, then walked straight towards me.

"Xiao Wan, come to Rome to play?" He smiled at me like a normal person. "It's none of your business." I looked at him with a displeased face, but I didn't forget the last time he said I was a half-human, half-ghost monster. He narrowed his purple-silver eyes slightly, "Why, you're still angry. Oh, it turns out that Sanatesi's daughter is so narrow-minded and has no tolerance at all." "Hey... don't talk about my dad all the time." I glanced at him, "Why are you here?" "Is it weird? Just like your father's castle is in Hungary, my castle is in Rome, well, it's not just Rome, France, Germany, Greece, including the Middle East, I live everywhere." He smiled casually "If you are interested, you are welcome to visit at any time."

"Forget it." I replied angrily, and glanced at the woman not far away, "That's more suitable for your prey." "Ashley!" The woman over there was getting impatient. "Not yet?" I sneered, "Otherwise your prey will run away." "Oh, since you know she's my prey, why don't you mind meddling this time?" His translucent eyes stared straight at me, as if trying to find some clues on my face. "Sometimes, meddling depends on your mood." I took two steps forward, "Besides, I don't like meddling." He smiled strangely, and said in a low voice, "Honestly, when you meddle in your own business, it's not at all like the original..." Halfway through, he suddenly stopped talking.

original what?I didn't pay attention to what he said, and hurried to the train station. Because the night was getting dark, there was almost no one in the station, only a few boys dressed as bad boys were smoking and chatting. I found a corner seat and sat down, and after a moment of drowsiness, I heard the clock strike midnight. Then, the rumble of the train approaching the station was heard. coming! I jumped up from the chair and looked at the direction of the train. Not long after, I saw a red train slowly entering the station and stopped in front of me. I glanced at those teenagers, they didn't seem to see this train at all, but this is not surprising, not everyone has the opportunity to set foot on this train.

As soon as I jumped onto the carriage in the middle, I saw that familiar figure.The long golden hair poured down like running water, covering half of his face. The moment he looked up and saw me, his golden eyes flashed a trace of relief. "Si Yin, long time no see!" I smiled and sat down in front of him. Seeing him in this situation, I felt very kind. "Long time no see? It's only been ten days." There was a faint smile on his lips. It’s been ten days here with you, but I’ve gone through spring, summer, autumn and winter there.” Just as I was speaking, my stomach began to growl again. Si Yin waved his hand, and delicious meals appeared on the small dining table. My eyes lit up, there was my favorite sweet and sour pork!

"Ah, how do you know that I like to eat this?" I picked up the chopsticks in a hurry and put it in my mouth for a while. He looked out the window, "You and your mother have similar tastes, and Xiaoyin also liked those sweet and sour tastes since she was a child." When he said these words, his expression was extraordinarily gentle, as if there was something in his heart. Melting in the golden eyes. "How do you feel about this trip to Rome?" He turned his head, and his face returned to the plain expression as if covered by a curtain. "Rome?" My chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and the scenes that happened before were played back in my mind like a movie, and finally they were fixed on those aqua blue eyes. "Those past histories have disappeared in the long river, I think, you should understand this." He took a sip of the tea in his cup. "Actually, not necessarily." I bit my chopsticks and said, "When I was young, I saw a sentence in a book, and I didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now, I think I understand a little bit." "Oh? What words?" I thought for a while and said, "Today comes from yesterday, today includes yesterday, and yesterday contains the day before yesterday, so the history of the past still exists today, and it has not died." Si Yin put down the teacup, a hint of surprise flashed in his golden eyes. "You are such a strange child." His tone was a little milder than usual, "A child of this age should not think about such complicated things." "Children of this age will not experience such unimaginable things as traveling through time and space." I said. He smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "That's not necessarily true." I seldom see Si Yinxiao. When he is not smiling, I can feel his aggressive aura and aloof and introverted temperament. When he smiles, it is as if tens of thousands of cherry blossoms are blooming at the same time. It is extremely beautiful. . When I woke up, it was already daylight. I opened my eyes and found that Si Yin was sitting by the window, looking out quietly.Following his gaze, what came into view was a dense forest one after another. "Good morning, Si Yin." I rubbed my eyes, sat up from the sleeper, and was about to stretch comfortably ----- I only heard a bang!The movement of getting up was too large, and my head hit the bed rail all of a sudden. "Woo..." I moaned softly. "Good morning, Xiaowan." He didn't turn his head to look at me, but I could clearly see a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "I, I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth." I rubbed my head depressedly, and walked out quickly with the toiletries. When we came back from the washroom, there was obviously one more person in our seat. Looking closely, it turned out that the girl named Jiang Ying was sitting in front of Si Yin. By the way, after I got on the train yesterday, I didn't seem to hear her mother scolding her. Could it be because I completed the task? "I'll ask again for the last time, can I make her disappear?" Jiang Ying looked impatient. "Eh? Hasn't fate changed? Your mother didn't say anything about you yesterday." I couldn't help but blurted out. "Not talking about me yesterday doesn't mean never talking about me." She glanced in the direction where her mother was. "Who can guarantee that she will suddenly lose her nerve one day in the future." "Do you just want your mother to disappear? Even if I have changed the root of your destiny, do you still insist?" I suddenly felt a sense of frustration. "In her eyes, I am just dispensable, so to me, she is the same." "Oh, if that's the case," I walked up to Si Yin and whispered a few words in his ear quickly. Seeing that he was slightly surprised and nodded, I said loudly again, "Si Yin, let her mother disappear All right." Si Yin slowly raised his hand. The train suddenly entered a dark tunnel at this time, and almost at the same time, the entire body of the car vibrated violently... The lights on the roof of the car were shaking, and the passengers in the car were in a mess. "Ah!" Jiang Ying yelled suddenly in panic, only to see that the headlight was falling in her direction. The car suddenly stopped in an instant, and the passengers in the car seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and no one made a sound. "Mom, mom!" Jiang Ying's voice suddenly broke the silence, and I looked in her direction. She seemed to be safe and sound, but at some point, her mother had rushed forward to block her.The car light hit Jiang's mother impartially. "Mom, what's wrong with you, wake up, don't die, mom, don't die!" Jiang Ying couldn't help crying, "Mom..." Jiang's mother slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that she was fine, she smiled in relief, hugged her tightly in her arms, and murmured, "Xiaoying, it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine." "Mom..." Jiang Ying cried and hugged her. "It's my mother's fault. I used to be too harsh on you...but it's because I care about you the most that I'm so harsh on you...Xiaoying... Mom won't be there anymore, I won't be anymore, I'm sorry..." "I get it, Mom, I get it..." "Jiang Ying, do you still want her to disappear now?" I suddenly interrupted them from the side. She shook her head and said repeatedly, "No, no, no..." "So……" "I want to go home with my mother." She looked up, "I want to go home." Si Yin nodded, stretched out his hand to point to them, and saw a ball of golden light covering their whole bodies, and gradually, they disappeared under the dazzling golden light. "Okay, it's finally complete." I sat down with a smile on my face, "Look, my method is not bad." "Are you so sure that her mother will save her?" Si Yin said calmly. "I'm also trying. How can there be parents who don't really love their children? It's just that sometimes, some parents use the wrong method just like Jiang's mother. Since everything has changed, then Jiang's mother must have realized that she Your persistence is wrong." I blinked, "Of course, it all depends on the danger you created just now, Si Yin." He turned to look at me, "However, this method is also very dangerous." "Don't be afraid, because Si Yin will definitely be careful." I raised my eyebrows with a smile. He didn't speak any more, and turned his gaze out of the window again. "Xiao Wan, did you see that man in the hat?" He asked suddenly. I nodded, "This boy doesn't seem to have said a word, it feels quite mysterious." "He's a wanted murderer on the run." Before I could react, Si Yin said the second half of the sentence slowly, "He's also---the client of the next mission." "Eh????" I glanced at the boy in surprise. I didn't expect this seemingly quiet boy to be a wanted murderer on the run. Who did he kill?And why kill? "Then when will he entrust?" I am more concerned about this. Si Yin looked at me, "You should rest for a few days, and he will naturally come to entrust you." I shook my head, "I don't need to rest, the sooner the better, I must find my mother before my father wakes up, otherwise, my father will definitely do something crazy..." Si Yin's golden eyelashes moved slightly, "He------is very kind to Xiaoyin." "Of course, my father loves my mother far more than me. Since I was a child, I was like a light bulb..." As I said this, I recalled all the past, and a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. "However, he is a vampire and has eternal life, but Xiao Yin is an ordinary human being." Si Yin interrupted me coldly, "One day, Xiao Yin will still leave him, won't he?" "Yes, he is immortal, but I think if he can have such a beautiful love, he won't feel lonely even if he lives forever? At least, he has this beautiful memory." I said a little unconvinced. There was a complex look on Si Yin's face, "Good memories... yes, at least he once had them..." After speaking, he smiled faintly, "Yes, just like what Xiaoyin said , No one can erase the goodness we once had. Because we all have memories. As long as we have memories, the goodness will not disappear..." He paused and murmured, "But the reason why memories are beautiful is not Because of the memory itself, but because of her in that memory... The faint sunlight fell on the carriage, reflecting crystal light in his golden eyes, and the morning breeze gently blew his golden long hair, tangled and fluttering.
