Marca McLean, he's been moving forward.
From the moment he entered the magic world... No, maybe before that, he was always slightly out of tune with his environment. In fact, he knew subconsciously that he might never really belong to the world.
Therefore, no matter which minute or second, his heart is probably at a loss.
On the night when she first met Maka, Luna had already vaguely felt the difference of the boy - yes, he was different from himself, his father... Or anyone else.
Of course, Luna at that time was much more ignorant than now. She didn't understand what kind of person Maka was.
But gradually, as she got along with Maka longer and longer, Luna seemed to feel some loneliness in Maka's unconscious.
Luna could understand that feeling more or less, because she had experienced it a little in the days when her mother died and her father was lost - even if it was only a few days.
Yes, it is as if the whole world is far away from itself, even if you can't reach it, that kind of unspeakable loss and helplessness.
Because of the short experience of loneliness, Luna became a little trance and gradually immersed in the world with only her own.
However, Maka, who has been in this loneliness for a long time, has never escaped because of confusion.
Since meeting this strange and intelligent boy, Luna felt as if he had been running forward. He has been observing everything he can see and looking for a goal he has never found.
Even though he was confused, he never stopped moving forward once.
So
When Luna vaguely found that Maka was running tired and occasionally returned to her side to seek a temporary peace, she immediately understood what she should do for him.
"Hermione, do you know?"
She looked directly into the opposite eyes and said softly:
"Maka keeps walking forward for a moment. He may be hard, tired, painful, or sad... But all that is not for others..."
"Including you, me and the rest of us, probably won't be all the reasons for him to move forward."
If the only reason that prompted Maka to struggle forward has never changed, it must be the reason why he wants to find his own existence in this world.
What brought him to this familiar and strange place?
Luna naturally won't know the question hidden in Maka's heart, but she can feel that Maka has never got rid of this lingering confusion.
"So, Hermione." she said very seriously, "I won't persuade him to stop. Even if there are many bumps ahead, I won't stop him from moving forward. I know I can't catch up with him, so I'd rather wait for him on the roadside..."
"Because he doesn't necessarily need a companion, but he certainly needs a place where he can go back and have a rest when he is tired."
Hermione fell silent because of Luna's rare narration. Her thoughts began to rotate rapidly when Luna spoke, but they haven't stopped until now.
After a while, she was stunned and said:
"But... There may be more than 'bumps' ahead? What if there are more dangers ahead? What if he... Really had an accident?"
"I'll still be here waiting for him," Luna replied calmly.
……
On the other side of the coin, as if there were no one.
It's like a replica of St. mungo. There are no therapists, no patients, and many members of R.A. who spontaneously came to guard St. mungo.
There are no living creatures here, just a space for reproduction and extension.
The corridor was silent, and the light overhead lit up everything in front of us. As like as two peas, the polished floors, the front benches, the closed doors, and even the old stains on the white walls are all the same as the real saint mungo.
Walking in the meantime, the footsteps echoed gently, which set off the space more quietly.
"Da... Da... Da..."
With a staff in hand, Maka walked along the corridor step by step, silently sensing where halbo might be hiding.
Suddenly, the light on the top of my head suddenly flashed several times and made a "click click" sound.
"Oh, it's time to repair here."
He suddenly raised his head and glanced at the magic lamp above - everything here is synchronized with the real St. mungo. The scene of the light jumping just now must have happened in the same position on the other side.
Of course, maybe it's also possible that Haier Bo is doing something.
Therefore, Maka stopped slightly and checked the magic lamp carefully. Although he didn't find any abnormality in the end, it also ruled out a place where there might be hidden danger.
Taking her eyes back from the light, Maka continued to move forward, and the cautious search still didn't stop.
From the sixth floor to the next floor, he felt every corridor and room carefully, but he couldn't find Haier Bo in the hall on the first floor.
Well, there are traces of that guy's existence - on the stairs between the second and third floors, he saw a very serious damage, and on the first floor, he saw a sea of flames that is still burning.
It was a very hot flame. Until now, most of the things on this floor have been burned into dark debris, and even the ceiling and walls have been blackened.
"Kerala -"
After arriving at the hall, every step of Maka's steps dissipated the cold. The flames went out everywhere he passed, leaving only a winding ice mark.
From the side door of the hall to the warehouse area at the back, he first glanced at the temporary ward. The room, like other places, had nothing but some original displays.
Without stopping, he went on and soon came to the potion preparation room he borrowed.
There are many traces of being moved here. Most of the medicine he put on the table when he left was used. Maybe Hermione and they have used it on the injured according to the name book?
The medicine display cabinet has also been opened, some semi-finished products have been rearranged... And a bottle of Mandela grass resurrection medicine is missing.
Who was accidentally injured by Xiao Wu's petrochemical sight?
Maka looked around in this room with many subtle traces. Not to mention that kind of change, at least the magic fluctuation here seems to be very stable all the time.
Halber hasn't been here.
He was about to leave when the corner of his eye swept across the table - something was missing?
"Feather pen?"
Who is so forgetful that he forgot to return the pen after borrowing it?
Of no great importance to Marca, of course, he make complaints about it in the bottom of his heart.
After walking around the corridor, except for some battle marks inside and outside the temporary ward, there seems to be no sign of Haier Bo hiding in this upstairs.
So that means... Is that guy most likely hiding underground now?
Returning to the hall, he took another turn and came to the stairs leading to the underground corridor. But I saw him pause on the ground with his stick, and a cold current immediately rushed to the stairs against the ground.
With the crunching sound of ice crystal condensation, the stairs just full of flames were occupied by white frost marks. Looking down, it was like seeing an ice cellar.
After tightening the staff in her hand a little, Maka raised her legs and walked down, and soon came to the slightly dark underground corridor below.
A moment later, he looked up at a position on the ceiling of the corridor and looked carefully.
This is the closest point to the outside world, and it is also the weakest place in this space. When Sarah had not completely sealed off the space, halbo came to the "back of the coin" through here.
It is conceivable that Haier Bo is also likely to find a way to get out of here.
But after another careful inspection, Maka found that he didn't seem to choose the position he came in at the beginning again.
"It's not here, and the place most likely to escape has not been damaged... Where else would he hide?"
Not long after the underground corridor came to an end, Maka couldn't help feeling a little confused.
The whole back space is closed, and there is no damage or damage - of course, if halbo really wants to destroy the space barrier, Sarah will find it at the first time.
So, where the hell is that guy?
"If I was trapped here..."
Space movement cannot be completed in two isolated spaces. Even the door key can only be transferred in this limited interior.
If you want to go out, it seems that you can only forcibly open up the space on both sides.
Thinking, Maka looked up again, but she still frowned and shook her head.
At present, he can only think that halbo has not left here, but because of some special hiding method, he looks for it from top to bottom, but he still finds nothing.
While Maka was sinking down to think, he suddenly felt a magical reaction somewhere upstairs, which made him feel a little excited.
At this moment, the possibility of luring him to the past is obviously not small. But without any clues, seeing it with your own eyes becomes the only change that may help him solve his confusion.
Just a little thought, Maka no longer hesitated, even if she hurried to the other side of the stairs.
"What's the trick this time?"
