The back hall was still as dark as usual. Even if Safina could open her eyes, there was nothing to see at all.
So she soon closed her eyelids again.
But now she knows that darkness can magnify other senses beyond vision to a certain extent - she can smell the smell of old dust in the back hall, hear water droplets gently dripping on the floor tiles in the backyard, and even feel the slight vibration every time someone passes in the corridor outside.
Yes, Safina realized that her senses seemed to be many times more sensitive than before.
Since last night, the formation that Marca had personally arranged on the ground had actually stopped working, but she felt that the unknown force that made her feel painful had become more and more open in her body.
The pain was nothing. In fact, she was getting used to it. But... To tell you the truth, she feels a little worried now. This is not only because of the termination of the array, but also because - McLean hasn't seen himself here for several days.
Where did he go? Does he know that the formation stopped? What terrible power does he... Want to give himself?
Even if you really succeed, are you still yourself?
Safina felt the power in her body that seemed to have occupied her whole body, while she was uneasy.
People are like this. When they are alone, they often think more and more.
But in the end, Safina will only have one question in her mind - will McLean keep his promise and solve the problem that has plagued her for many years?
At first, Safina accepted the deal under the nature of semi coercion. But to be honest, if Maka is willing to spend more time, sit down and ask her in a normal way, she may also agree.
Therefore, compared with her sister Ursula, Safina has less strong resistance.
It's hard to say that it's "semi compulsion", but if you look at it from another angle, isn't the other "half" the meaning of "willing to accept"?
Now the only thing that makes her feel at a loss is whether Maka will really fulfill the agreement.
"But... If Ursula likes him, forget it! It's too dangerous to be with such an impenetrable man."
As she suddenly recalled the original purpose of her trip, Safina couldn't help muttering with a bitter smile, which can be regarded as a way of self mockery to alleviate the depression in her heart.
In fact, not to mention that Ursula may have lost her original favor for Maka. Even Safina, who is mostly nosy, now dare not be creative.
"Well."
Suddenly, another strong feeling of nausea came out of her chest, interrupting her wishful thinking - this was the third time she had this feeling today, which had not appeared in the past few days.
Safina felt that something was going to happen to herself.
Just then, she suddenly heard a "squeak" sound from the direction of the door. It was the movement that the door of the back hall was pushed open.
Then a glow lit up the room.
Safina moved her head with some difficulty and looked at the door. The light was a little dazzling to her, which made her squint slightly.
"Mr. McLean..."
"As I said, just call me Marca."
At the door, Maka came in with a flame in her hand and came to Safina step by step. It can be found that he didn't show any surprise or surprise at the array that had stopped running. He naturally stepped on the array that he didn't want to step on before and squatted down next to Safina.
"Safina, how do you feel?" he said casually as he checked. "Is the pain a little worse?"
"It's strengthened a lot," Safina wrinkled her face slightly, but her mask is still on her face. This expression can't be seen by Maka, "but... It's OK. I'm used to it."
"Try harder and stick to it, and you'll be close to the limit." Maka nodded. "If you can move by yourself when, it's almost time to harvest results."
"Really?" Safina pursed her lips and said weakly, "isn't it... Like..."
Cold, she suddenly pulled out the hand hidden in her sleeve. While Maka's attention was still checking it for her, she suddenly put a bright dagger on Maka's neck. At the same time, her other arm also hung around Maka's back neck, almost hanging the weight of her whole upper body on Maka's neck.
At that moment, Maka only felt a cold on her neck, and then she felt a warmth again, like wrapping herself in a heavy scarf.
"Help Ursula first, and then let her go. After that, I'll cooperate with you to complete the deal... You should understand, I'm worried about you..."
Since ancient times, the natural enemy of a wizard is an assassin. If someone who is not afraid of death puts a dagger around his neck, the result is often to die together at most. In fact, even in the ancient magic world, many wizards died so oppressively.
Safina dare not say that this set can also work for Maka, but in addition to gambling with this method, she can't think of any other possibility of winning the initiative.
However, before she even finished speaking, her cheeks suddenly burst, and the next moment
"Well, vomit -"
A large amount of foul smelling black mucus gushed from her throat and gushed out from the gap of the mask, immediately flowing all over Maka.
Seeing this, Maka quickly raised her head, but because his neck was being hugged by Safina, such a move had the opposite effect. Feeling the black vomit trickling into her clothes from her neck, Maka had to close her mouth and smile bitterly.
It's not that he smiles shyly, but that he really doesn't dare to open his mouth at the moment!
A moment later, he took the blade of Safina's dagger, pulled it out of his hand and threw it aside at will. Then he wiped his face and said:
"Don't let go... Are you going to take revenge on me by suffocating me?"
After saying this, Safina vaguely released her arm, and her body, which had no strength, should slide down Marca's chest.
Maka stretched out her hand and put her back on the ground.
"Yes, at least let me see that you have the strength to hold me... Wait, I'll let Sarah and Willie come and take a bath for you, or you'll kill me. I think you'll suffocate yourself later."
He immediately got up and went out.
"... wait."
