Chapter 153 Black Ripples and a Drop of Blood
It was only then that the others reacted to the sudden incident.
The surroundings suddenly became noisy with conversations, and all the children present stared at Vifiya with shining eyes, regardless of whether they had witnessed her actions or not.
It was nothing else. She was the first person who stayed by his side and not only was not accidentally injured, but also successfully brought him away from danger. The latter point was the most important.
"How did you do that?" A strange child leaned over in surprise.
"Oh my God, can you teach me? That's so cool!" Freckles, who was walking slowly behind her and witnessed all her movements, suddenly ran over. The desire in his eyes was infinitely magnified in front of Vifiya.
Vifiya subconsciously wanted to step back, but she felt someone behind her. In order to avoid bumping into them, she could only control her feet and tilt her head back.
A hand grabbed Freckles' shoulder and pulled her away from Vifiya: "Don't you want to stop studying?"
"Can it be the same?" Freckles slapped Chris's hand away in dissatisfaction.
Chris saw her calm eyes, and he avoided her sight awkwardly. Later, he realized that he was looking for a chance to apologize to her.
"I want to learn too." The little fat boy's weak voice came from somewhere.
Weifeiya lowered her head accurately and met the eyes of the fat boy sitting on the ground. She said honestly: "Maybe it's a coincidence."
The little fat man didn't look away for a long time. He spat out three words: "Impossible."
Fei Yi and Eddie, who had been slowly moving behind, looked up. Fei Yi exclaimed, "Wow! There's a hole!"
Vifiya looked away from the fat boy's determined gaze and looked up as well. The hole on the top was dark and she could not see anything.
She suddenly remembered the person she had pulled over. She looked over and saw that the boy still had no reaction, not even moving his head. The hustle and bustle around him did not cause a ripple in his silence, as if nothing had happened and there was no one around. He took a step forward and continued to move forward.
Following Vifia's gaze, Nerys looked over and said, "Do you understand?" This was why she said he was strange.
"You helped him after all, but you didn't even thank me." Nerys muttered softly.
Vifiya didn’t care whether she received any thanks or not.
"You're really not a devil." Fei Yi came over with a look of surprise.
Her hands moved up and down, but Vifia couldn't tell what she was gesturing.
Vifia's eyelids rose and fell. Madam Maggie was likely to have heard the noise during the class. She omitted the two words and asked tentatively, "Do you think I am?"
Fei Yi's eyes flashed when she was asked, and she asked curiously, "Do you think you are?"
Vifiya asked back: "What do you think it is?"
Fei Yi blinked in curiosity and shouted excitedly, "Eddie! Eddie!"
Eddie squeezed in from the crowd and said helplessly, "I heard it, I heard it."
He said to Weifeiya solemnly, "Please become friends with Feiyi."
Weifeiya couldn't understand the scene in front of her. Fei Yi looked expectant and said, "Is it possible? Can you be my friend?"
Before Vifia could answer, Madam Maggie's cold voice rang out: "Don't stand there, go to the library."
Fei Yi pursed her lips and whispered, "Xiao Hui, we'll talk about it later."
A group of people followed Maggie's instructions and went to the library.
There aren't many books inside, but they are neatly stacked.
Vifiya blinked her sleepy eyes, cheered herself up, and searched the library for books that might be useful to her.
Unfortunately, almost nothing was found.
In the entire library, there is not a single book related to St. Fagus Island.
"Bang-bang-bang-bang"
A bell rang in the distance.
Vifiya realized that it was already evening.
"We are going to evening prayers, and then we can go back to the dormitory after dinner." Nerys dutifully introduced the new arrival, Vifiya.
Noticing that she looked a little listless, Nerys asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
Vifiya nodded: "Well, let's go to evening prayer." She wanted to go back and rest early.
Understanding what she meant, Nerys withdrew her concerned gaze and led the way for her.
Vifia couldn't quite remember what the prayers were like afterwards. Even when she went to the dining hall and saw the same pea porridge and black bread as at noon, she forgot to remind Clover to give her less.
There were a few shriveled vegetables in the pea porridge that she couldn't identify, and she made up her mind to finish it quickly.
"Pa." Vifiya pretended not to hear the bad luck that happened to the boy whose name she didn't know. She really wanted to go back to the dormitory quickly.
Noticing that Vifiya's speed had increased, Nerys looked at the girl in surprise. How did she manage to eat so quickly and still feel a sense of...elegance?
Not only Nerys, but more and more eyes gradually fell on Vifiya with curiosity, making it impossible for her to pretend not to see it.
Don't they want to eat? She stopped spooning porridge into her mouth, swallowed it completely, and looked around in confusion. Finally, her eyes met Nerys's.
His dark yet bright eyes could no longer conceal his fatigue, but he still patiently asked, "What's wrong?"
Nerys leaned closer to her: "Don't you think that the way you eat is... a little different from the way we eat?"
Vifiya, who only wanted to sleep, forced herself to stay awake and thought hard: "Is it ugly?"
Well, although I can't remember clearly, the reason why everyone looked at me like that was probably because my table manners were really bad. After all, the dining hall is not a private place.
Realizing that she might have disturbed their meal, she subconsciously apologized: "Sorry, I'm really too tired."
"No, no!" Nairis didn't expect that Vifiya would misunderstand their gaze like this, and shouted anxiously for a moment.
"No!" A girl with a more impatient temper also shouted anxiously.
Before the dining hall became noisy, Clover, who had seen everything, spoke up to maintain order: "Okay, everyone eat your own food."
With her intervention, everyone had to suppress other unspoken words and expressed emotions.
Knowing that it was not her problem, Vifia quickly finished the rest. After informing Nerys, she returned to the dormitory clutching the few candies Clover had stuffed into her hand.
She opened the door of the dormitory. It was very quiet inside and she could only hear Dai'er's shallow breathing. She walked back to her bed carefully, trying not to make any noise.
"Ugh—" A painful groan came from the bed next door.
Vifia's waist straightened suddenly, and she had to stay awake and stare at the chestnut-haired head on the bed next to her for a while.
Vifiya only heard a faint ringing sound in her ears, and Dai'er's voice just now seemed like an illusion.
Even though her eyelids almost drooped, she still stared at her for a while to make sure she was really okay. Ignoring the question of how Dale would eat, she withdrew her gaze and made other preparations for going to bed.
In fact, the bed board of Sansonta is a bit hard, and Vifiya felt it when she took a nap at noon.
Other children came back one after another outside the dormitory.
Vifiya snuggled into bed, and she wondered in a daze, is Nerys eating so slowly?
My thoughts suddenly jumped again. How did I get here?
She seemed...
Getting off a boat...
What did Luo Duo, who brought me here, say?
Is she lucky?
No, there's more...
"Congratulations on making it to St. Fagus Island alive."
Luo Duo's voice finally came back to his mind.
Alive?
Why... alive?
Unable to come up with an answer, and without trying hard to think of one, she fell into a deep sleep.
It's dark.
I can’t see anything, as if only the consciousness of “I” still exists.
She was dreaming, she thought lucidly.
But do dreams have touch?
Her hand touched the darkness, and there was an invisible barrier ahead, which stopped her from moving forward.
The barrier was icy cold, penetrating into her body and causing her nerves to tremble.
It was so quiet, not even the sound of a heartbeat.
Vifiya was not in a hurry, she just stared blankly at the "me" in her dream.
Time seems to stand still, and the boundless darkness exudes a temptation, tempting "her" in the dream to close her eyes and lie in its tranquility.
Vifiya lowered her eyes, her eyelids only a tiny gap away from her eyelids, but she still didn't close them completely, nor did she try to find a way to wake up.
The thick red gathered silently in the darkness and condensed into a drop of water.
"Boom." An ethereal and clear sound dripped down, creating ripples.
Vifiya remained motionless, and ripples continued to spread outward, echoing at the barrier in front.
Following the echo, Vifia's gaze slowly moved upwards. There was a person, or should be considered a person, with a sharp weapon stuck across the chest of the human-shaped light and shadow.
She couldn't tell what the weapon was.
Blood swirled around the sharp weapon, dripping silently into the darkness.
A straight line quickly passed through Vifiya's eyes and hit the forehead of the human-shaped light and shadow, and red flowed down.
It was as quiet as ever.
Vifiya did not move, and the human-shaped light and shadow did not move either, like a dead object.
The "she" in the dream seemed to be observing, and his uncontrollable emotions were accurately transmitted to her, without any fluctuation in her heart.
The darkness suddenly rolled and collapsed, swallowing up the human-shaped light and shadow.
Suddenly, countless sharp blades appeared, as if controlled by invisible threads, and they rushed to pierce through the human-shaped light and shadow.
Blood red filled her and "her" eyes.
Still too quiet, she thought.
She suddenly felt a little bored.
The human-shaped shadow in the dark pupils suddenly turned into points of light, floated away into the distance, and dissipated.
There was only one heart left in that place, a heart that was still beating steadily.
A long sword condensed above the heart, and even the darkness could not block its cold light.
"Do you want to save x?" A strange voice sounded vaguely, but Vifiya understood the meaning strangely.
She heard it, and the "she" in the dream answered like this, no, it should be her.
"Why should I save you?"
Her uncontrollable emotions were also affecting her. Even though she was indifferent, she was also clear about her true thoughts.
Why did she want to save him? Did she have the ability to do so? Was she strong enough to pay the price of failure?
"What if you could break the barrier?" the voice asked again.
Vifiya did not answer.
She doesn't want to.
The long sword seemed to be a little closer to the heart.
"Vifiya." A familiar voice came from afar. It was not as illusory as in a dream, but had the real feeling of reality.
She felt herself clearly in the dream.
