Operation Red Book

These days, Ivy's sleep is very light, and the slightest movement at night can wake her up from nightmares.

Twice it was the meow of a cat, and three times it was the sound of Mrs. Hudson gently pushing the door.

The situation this time was different from before. Ivy had already woken up, but she didn't dare to open her eyes. Her hands under the quilt were clenched into fists, and the trembling corners of the quilt revealed fear.

Her whole body was stiff, and she dared not move at all. She could only silently recite the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the quiet night.

She knew very well that someone was lying next to her.

From the moment that man got close to Ivy's body, Ivy's breathing gradually became heavier.

What's even more terrible is that the man had no breathing and no heartbeat, and the hand that touched Ivy's forehead was as cold as the winter wind.

It's not like she hasn't experienced this kind of thing before. When she was taking a nap at home, Ivy had experienced sleep paralysis several times.

Only at this time would Ivy think of the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was worshipped every day at her grandma's house.

"Namo Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva... Why is there no effect? ​​Doesn't Guanyin Bodhisattva care about the ghosts in London?"

Ivy's heart beat faster and her cheeks felt like they were burning.

In the past, she would be able to return to normal after reciting it a dozen times, but now, after reciting it almost two hundred times, half of Ivy's body is still cold.

The man became even more unscrupulous, and his hand, as if it had just been thawed from the ice, stroked from the forehead to Ivy's lips, and even intended to move all the way down.

It's over! I met a pervert!

Ivy's mind went blank and the surrounding environment became blurry, but her consciousness could still clearly sense the boiling blood in her body.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva! Manjusri Bodhisattva! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! Samantabhadra Bodhisattva! I will never find excuses not to kowtow to you again. Please forgive me for my mistakes. Please help me! I will definitely worship you well in the future, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."

There was no other way, Ivy could only try every possible means and chant the names of the Bodhisattvas faster.

"Avalokitesvara! Merciful Avalokitesvara! Please show your power. I am your disciple! I am willing to copy the Heart Sutra seven times every day and only eat vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month..."

"Are you awake?"

A familiar clear voice suddenly rang in Ivy's ears. Her breathing stagnated, and her heartbeat began to rumble in her throat.

"Please forgive me, I can't wait until tomorrow. Time is too tight."

The hot breath lingered around Ivy's ears, and their tightly pressed bodies suddenly became warm.

Without the tense atmosphere of being haunted by the pervert, Ivy gradually calmed down.

It's a lie to say I'm calm! What's the situation now?

Ivy was a little crazy. She opened her eyes suddenly, stood up and rolled under the bed.

"Hey! You, you're really awake?"

Dorian sat up suddenly, looking at Ivy sitting among the quilts with his mouth open.

The dim figure was hidden in the shadows, but even so it couldn't stop Ivy's wide, angry eyes from showing.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Ivy shouted in a low voice, her eyebrows raised, glaring at Dorian who came uninvited.

Feeling Ivy's unfriendly gaze, Dorian couldn't say a word even if he had thousands of words on his lips.

He pulled the corners of his mouth, sighed, and slowly lowered his head.

"Get down! This is my bed!"

Dorian's arrival made the whole room even colder. Ivy was sweating all over and shivered as the chill came over her.

She occupied her comfortable big bed again and wrapped herself in three layers of quilts.

Dorian stood beside the bed, watching everything silently. He was at a loss, not knowing what to do or what to say.

Ivy turned her head to the other side and forced herself to close her eyes, but Dorian's presence kept intruding into her consciousness, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Ivy tossed and turned several times, and finally couldn't help but growl at Dorian in the corner.

"What on earth do you want to do? Get out of here if you don't want to talk!"

Dorian could truly feel Ivy's anger, and he wanted to run away. After all, this was something he had never experienced before - apologizing to a girl.

"I, I..." Dorian still stuttered.

"I'll say it again, if you have something to say, say it now. If not, please get out. It's midnight and I have to go to work tomorrow."

Ivy stopped growling and her attitude became cold, the distance between them suddenly widened, which made Dorian even more anxious.

"I, I heard that you like me." Dorian decided to start with what he wanted to say most.

"Raphael told you, right? I just said it casually to tease Raphael."

Ivy did not hesitate, her expression was indifferent and her tone was cold.

Dorian felt a little lost. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to slowly express his feelings.

"I like you……"

"Joshua told me it was just a casual affair, it doesn't count."

Hearing Ivy's quick and thoughtless words, Dorian hesitated for a long time, and the building he had built with great difficulty collapsed in his heart.

He remembered that he wanted to say a lot of things, but he didn't know what was left in the ruins of his heart.

"Is that all? Then please leave and don't show up next to me casually. I'm telling you clearly that I hate you and I don't want to see you."

Ivy's face turned pale and she turned over and covered herself with the quilt. She tried to calm herself down and told herself not to care about Dorian in the corner.

Their relationship was too close, Ivy thought, and it was just a contractual relationship of mutual benefit.

I am a human being as weak as an ant, and the other party is a demon as powerful as a dragon. You are strong and I am weak, so there should be no intersection between us.

The scar on the back of her neck suddenly felt cold, Ivy's neck became tight, and her breathing became rapid again.
