Chapter 2457

To tell you the truth, TIA didn't know how she escaped from that prison door. Even after many years, the memory is still as new. All she can remember is the unspeakable panic and whirling chaos... And the "pop" sound filled her ears due to the violent beating of her heart.

Then

Then when she finally recovered, she found that she had somehow run on the corridor where she had been dragged by people.

The thick and soft precious carpet conveys a comfortable touch to the soleplate, but it is obviously not very suitable for running; The picture frames hanging closely on the walls of the corridor quickly retreated behind them as they moved forward, and even the contents of the paintings became blurred in the field of vision; The overhead glass chandelier emits a soft but tenacious brilliance, which makes the shadows under your feet stretch back and forth, overlap and relax.

At the fork at the end, she firmly remembered the warning that the boy mentioned to herself, and turned right without hesitation. In fact, she didn't need to be reminded by others. She knew better than anyone that she should stay away from the study.

Just at the moment of turning the corner, she couldn't help turning her head towards the deepest door on the left and glancing at it in a hurry.

The door was open, and the old man sat firmly behind the desk in the room. When she ran through the corridor outside the door, the old man in the door just turned his head a little and looked at her calmly.

Then, a familiar and strange figure came out of the door, closed the door of the study with her backhand, and completely cut off her uneasy sight.

"My dear TIA, you shouldn't have done that."

When this sentence came from the other side of the corridor, TIA had stopped her running towards the other end. But she didn't turn around. She just twisted her neck in a slightly awkward posture, stared at the figure in the distance, and pursed her thin lips slightly.

After the whole air in the corridor seemed to freeze for a moment, she was a little difficult to spit out the name that had lingered in the bottom of her heart for a long time——

"Eliza."

"Yes, I'm Eliza." the figure opposite nodded and looked at the little TIA from a distance, "but it's a pity that you don't seem to be the little TIA I know."

TIA didn't understand why Eliza said such a thing. She felt that this should have been what she wanted to say, but now she said it from the other party's mouth.

"Eliza... Why? You brought me here. You said it was like a heaven built on earth, but here is hell - you know? There... There is a black prison. I believe you so much, but why did you betray me?"

During her stay in New York, TIA saw a lot of indifference and cruelty, and also experienced the pain of hunger and cold. The only warmth I have ever felt is from the woman who is like a mother and a friend. However, up to now, how hot the warmth used to be, how cold it can become now.

However, this once considerate and considerate woman seemed unaware of her current mood at this moment.

"Betrayal?" Eliza looked at her and shook her head, "It's really betrayal, but you betrayed me and the dean who hopes for you... My child, I heard that the Dean has talked to you once, but why don't you still understand? I thought you were a smart child, but now it seems that you still can't realize his greatness!"

"You... What are you talking about? I don't understand..."

Perhaps it was the other party's seemingly calm but inexplicably neurotic attitude that made TIA feel so nervous that she subconsciously walked away from the stabbing pain of the betrayal of the trusted person for a moment.

But Eliza on the other side didn't seem to care. She just continued to say to her:

"Of course you don't understand. I said, you're too stupid to understand... Honey, I've shown you the beauty above, so I think you should also be able to realize how difficult it is to maintain such a beauty in this terrible world - don't you think we should help the dean and support him with the elderly Expand this incomparably beautiful world? When one day every corner of the world becomes as beautiful as the monastery above, will we still feel the pain of the past? "

Yes, the old man said something similar that day in the study. But at that time, TIA was full of fear and precaution of being imprisoned and rough treated, and she didn't have the heart to think too much. Maybe she won't think about these things gradually until the old man calls her to talk more times, after she is forced to promise something.

However, this is clearly still not the time to discuss this.

"Eliza, you... I don't know what you're talking about! What does this have to do with putting me and so many people in a black prison? I won't tell you... I'm leaving!"

When she dropped these words, TIA had actually started again and suddenly continued to run towards the other end. Although she was stumbling by Eliza's appearance for a while, she finally remembered that what she should do now is to escape from this ghost place.

However, the other party's voice still came from behind like just now.

"... TIA, didn't you meet those children when you came out? I think even if you are not so smart, you should already feel from them that they are the same as you... Don't you want to have their powerful power to protect yourself from being bullied?"

"Honey, listen to me. It's too late to go back now. The Dean won't blame you..."

"Go back to the dungeon and after a period of time, you can get as powerful as them... Even stronger."

"You shouldn't have done that. You made me..."

"Bang!"

Suddenly, TIA felt an irresistible force coming from behind, and then she flew up.

The next moment, she fell to the ground with a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking back, Eliza, who had caught up with her at some time, stepped on it expressionless, holding a slender wand with a slightly distorted shape in her hand.

"What a disappointment."
