Mysteries

"What are you talking about?" Harvey asked casually.

Just as Fei Da was about to speak, Neia already answered, "Nothing." It was completely subconscious.Logically speaking, there was nothing Harvey should not know about his conversation with Feida, but Ningya just felt that Harvey would be unhappy.

……

Perhaps Harvey was unhappy too many times, so much that he had to be careful even when he sneezed.

Harvey raised an eyebrow.

Fei Da bowed and said, "His Royal Highness wants to know the news of Death God."

Harvey smiled: "There's nothing to hide."

A chill ran down Neia's spine.

Harvey said, "I'm not going to get mad at this kind of thing."

Neia felt that he still had the second half of the sentence.

Sure enough, Harvey said: "But your secretive attitude makes me very dissatisfied."

Neia wanted to argue, but Harvey turned to Feida and said, "When are they going to leave?"

Feida said: "We have to wait until after the birthday of the god. Fei Luo is going to go with the nobles of Santu. He has always plucked wild goose, and it is rare to encounter such a good opportunity. He will definitely take advantage of the nobles' greed for life and fear of death, and clearly mark the price. Selling 'Protection'."

Harvey said: "When he and the Holy Knights are gone, the Pope should also disappear. You should prepare well."

Feida was a little excited.He has been in the God of Light for so many years, how could he not be tempted by the Pope under the influence of his ears and eyes?It's just that his identity as a follower of the Dark God made him dare not act rashly. Now that he was ordered to usurp the throne, he was naturally overjoyed.

After he left, Harvey looked at the young man sitting by the window, reading a book by the faint moonlight and lamplight, feeling complicated and unspeakable. After a while, he suddenly let out a cold snort.

Neia turned her head to look at him, only seeing the back of Harvey leaving.

The library is like an abandoned corner in the Illuminati Society. After living there for a long time, Neia vaguely regards it as her own little world, independent from the world. Except for Harvey and the occasional Feida, no one bothers her.Therefore, he lived more and more casually, and when the weather was hot, he simply curled up in the pile of books and slept.To him, as long as he can sleep well, whether he is comfortable or not is not too important.

But this night, he didn't sleep peacefully.

In my sleep, there seemed to be rats shaking around me.

He opened his eyes uneasily, just in time to see something moving in the darkness. After squinting his eyes for a while to adapt, he realized that it was a human figure.One by one, Neia walked past the moonlit windows. Neia counted, and she saw five, not to mention the previous ones.

They walked up the stairs, very lightly.

If it wasn't for Neia's light sleep and easy waking up, maybe she wouldn't find anyone coming the next day.

However, who would come to a place like a library?

Could it be that what happened to him here was discovered, and those people came to look for him?

Neia looked at the distance between herself and the library gate. If she ran with all her strength, it would not be far away, but what should she do after she ran out?The only person he can rely on is Harvey, but he doesn't know where Harvey lives in the Society of Light.Moreover, there may be some noise during the process of running out to open the door, which will arouse the vigilance of the other party.

He was staggering, when he saw those figures come down again, walking in groups of two, carrying a heavy box in their hands.Perhaps the thing was too heavy, and it made a creaking sound when walking on the wooden floor.

The person who moved things was fine, but the bystanders were extremely nervous, for fear that the other party would make some noise, which would alarm the members of the Society of Light, and then implicate themselves and be wiped out.Although there is a dark god and he has been with him for so long, he still can't trust him in his heart.

The group of people had already reached the door. Seeing that victory was in sight, footsteps came from the door.

The mover was startled, and Neia was also startled, nervously watching them looking around for a place to hide, for fear that they would come to her hiding place.As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come.Neia was praying in her heart that they would not come over, when three of them came.

Neia lay down on her side, moving her body as far back as possible, trying to hide herself in the shadow of a row of boxes behind her.The other party simply put the box on top of the original stacks of books, but a black shadow formed, and he squatted behind the box, pointing the back of his head at Neia.

At this point, Neia could already be sure that the other party did not come for her.

Footsteps came to the door, and the doorknob turned slightly.

Neia's eyes were fixed on the direction of the door.If he had a choice, he hoped it would be Harvey.One is because Harvey won't do anything to him, and the other is because others can't do anything to Harvey.

The door was slowly pushed open, and the light shone behind the man, blurring his face, only drawing a long shadow in front of his feet.

Neia couldn't see the face clearly, and felt that he was not Harvey.

"Did you find it?" the man asked.

It wasn't a young voice, but Neia reckoned it was about the same age as Feida.

"Found it, my lord."

The black shadows who were moving things heaved a sigh of relief, and came out one after another, carrying the boxes and going out.The man walked ahead and quickly disappeared through the door.The last person to leave was very polite and closed the door behind him.The room was quiet again, but Keninga's heart suddenly beat violently.

Thank him for being so calm just now, otherwise, if the other party finds out, he will be silenced in all likelihood.

But until now, Neia still didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that some fish that slipped through the net would still stay in the house.Because of the scene just now, he became wary of the darkness, because it can protect himself as well as cover others.

After a while, the door was opened again, and a slender black figure stood at the door, asking with a smile, "Are you okay?"

It was only at this time that Neia was truly relieved and relaxed.

Harvey came in from outside and lit the lamp.

The library was still the same as it was before sunset, everything was in place, and it was not at all obvious that so many people were moving things and playing peek-a-boo just now.

Neia stood up: "Do you know someone has been here?"

Harvey said, "I still know who they are."

Neia blurted out, "Who?"

Harvey glanced at him with a smile: "Take an inventory first, something is missing. The Pope has been thinking about the solution to Death these days. Maybe some books have been removed before you have time to read them."

This passage hit Neia's worries. He didn't care about putting on his shoes, and ran upstairs barefoot.

Harvey followed him slowly and walked up to the sixth floor. He noticed that Neia was looking up. There was a square crack in the ceiling, which obviously led to the attic.

Neia said, "Someone has moved here."

"Oh?"

"I haven't cleaned the sixth floor, but I went up to see it. There were two spider webs hanging on it." Neia looked for the ladder, but when she couldn't find it, she brought a lot of books, stacked them layer by layer, and then went up one level. Leaped, lifted the plank, and jumped directly to the attic.

Harvey's figure flashed and turned into a black smoke, appearing behind Neia.

The attic has a large area, similar to the one below, except that the side of the sloping roof is left empty and nothing is placed there.

Neia walked around and confirmed that it was in the northeast corner, and a few boxes were missing.He squatted on the ground, searched Harvey carefully and said, "What are you looking for?"

"Maybe something in the box accidentally fell out, which will give us a little clue."

Harvey sneered: "Yeah, like the cover of the book. You can take the cover and go to the bookstore outside to buy another copy."

Neia suddenly raised her hand and placed it in front of her eyes. Harvey snatched it away before she could take a closer look.

"It's a gold coin from the ancient empire." Harvey said, "It should be quite valuable now."

Neia asked, "How did it appear here?"

Harvey said: "Usually I leave this kind of boring problem to others to think about."

Neia: "..." I hope he is not that other person.

Seeing his small thoughts, Harvey smiled: "Of course you are not someone else, you are my baby." He put the gold coin into his pocket, "Feida must be very interested in its origin, after all, it It probably fell out of Soros' wallet."

Harvey left in a hurry, but Neia stayed in the attic.

He had thought that the books in the library were concentrated on the lower six floors, because there was already a very large inventory there, but he didn't expect that there were so many books here.Neia was surprised to open one box after another, and found that there were books inside, and these books were obviously older, and some of them had weathered and turned yellow. Fortunately, the boxes were not ordinary things, and most of them were still readable.

Neia was so excited that she couldn't sleep, she opened all the boxes.The last box contains paintings, all of which are women without exception, and each portrait is always somewhat similar to other people in the painting.Neia thought they were the same person at first, and after reading too much, she thought they were sisters, but after counting, there were as many as 36 volumes.

He stared at the portrait, and felt that the face on it was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, especially the last one, this face seemed familiar, as if, as if...

Goddess of Light? !

Neia pushed the box open to free up a space, spread out all the portraits, and placed them on the ground one by one, and then arranged them according to the principle of similarity on the left and right, and finally found that these portraits were like a change in the face of a woman Record.The portraits in the middle are still somewhat similar, but the two portraits at the beginning and the end have no trace of similarity at all.

Neia was sure that this matter had something to do with the Goddess of Light, but she really couldn't figure out why the face of the goddess would change from one of them, or change into another person.

Could it be that the current goddess of light is not the goddess of light, but a fake one?

Neia felt that the more she discovered, the bigger the mystery she encountered, so big that she seemed so small that she was going to be swallowed up.

During dinner, Harvey came, and Neia had just finished taking a shower.

Harvey walked up to him, took a deep breath on his neck, and smiled, "Honey, you smell so good."

Neia backed away without a trace, and before she could take two steps, her waist was caught.

Harvey clasped his waist and led him out: "Today is Ruona's birthday, and everyone is celebrating it, so let's go for a walk on the street."

Neia looked at him in surprise, she thought he hated the goddess of light, didn't she?

Harvey didn't explain, and took him to the street.

Sure enough, there was a big celebration in the street, with fireworks all over the sky and lights lit up everywhere.Because it is the goddess of light, the entire city of Nier was illuminated as gorgeously as day.People are joyful, singing and dancing, whether they know each other or not, they all gather together and laugh.

"Look how happy they are," Harvey said.

Neia was somewhat infected, and also smiled.

"Illuminate the night into day..." Harvey smiled, "They don't seem to have asked the God of Darkness if he is happy."

Neia was startled, afraid that he would do something else when he was angry, so she hurriedly defended these people: "This is a rare day."

Harvey laughed harder: "It is indeed a rare day."

Neia saw that he was smiling strangely, so she didn't dare to speak casually.

Although Harvey's attitude was very strange, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. He even took him to the most famous restaurant in Neil City for dinner and listened to the rap of the troubadour.He composed Hayden's challenge to the God of Light to save the Necromancer into a tune: "I am your hero,

You are my ideal,

I drop everything,

Just want to take you home.

I am your hero,

You are my ideal,

you don't have to cry,

I will take you home.

my beloved,

Where are you.

I would like to sink into darkness,

Let you hide in a place out of the reach of light.

my beloved,

Where are you.

you know my heart,

Always follow your footsteps. "

Xu Shi's singing voice was too bright and moving, Xu Shi's fireworks tonight were too beautiful and intoxicating, which reminded Neia of Dong Guimo involuntarily.At that time, he was desperate in the light, but found hope in the darkness.He turned to look at Harvey.

Harvey was drinking slowly.

His black bangs blocked his aggressive gaze. At this moment, he was like an ordinary handsome young man, within reach.

Harvey looked at the extra hand on the back of his hand suspiciously.

Noticing his suspicious gaze, Neia was a little embarrassed, and quickly withdrew her hand and said, "It seems to be getting late."

Harvey said, "You're about to become a nerd."

Neia raised the toe of her right foot lightly, then tapped it lightly, her eyes looked at the people dancing to the music outside the restaurant.

Harvey paid the bill and went out.

His back tonight looked extraordinarily lonely.

Neia also drank a little wine.He felt like he was on top, otherwise he wouldn't have grabbed Harvey's hand then and now.

Harvey looked down at the extra hand and turned to him.

It seemed that Neia's courage only lasted for the moment when she stretched out her hand, and then it was exhausted.He lowered his head and tried to retract it, but was held back.

"If you don't give me a reason to be happy this time, I'll punish you with blasphemy," Harvey said.

Neia's palms were slightly sweaty, Harvey didn't rush him, and let him think slowly.

After a while, he mustered up the courage to say, "How about dancing together?"

Harvey: "..." As a god, a god, a god, he wants to dance in the street? !

Seeing Harvey's ugly face, Neia felt guilty, took a step back, and jumped up slowly like the people next to her.Dancing is obviously not his forte, and his movements are a bit clumsy no matter what.However, Harvey's eyes fell on his slender waist.

Such a thin waist is very attractive no matter how twisted it is.

There was applause and booing all around.

Seeing that others were also staring at Neia's waist, Harvey stretched out his hand and pulled back the embarrassing and nervous person who was almost on the same arm, hugged him, and said, "Go back and practice first."

Neia: "..." So, just now I was ashamed?

He couldn't see his dancing posture, so he naturally felt terrible, and suddenly had the urge to dig a hole to bury himself, and he was even more embarrassed to ask Harvey how he danced.

Harvey added another sentence in his ear: "Show me the dance alone in the future."

Neia's face turned red suddenly, and she didn't retreat until she returned to the Society of Gods of Light.

Harvey sent Neia to the door, before parting, he lowered his head and kissed Neia's forehead lightly: "Thank you for today's gift, I like it very much."

Neia was startled.

Harvey turned around and waved his hands. The wind brought his voice: "I was born on the same day as Ruona."

……

Neia was shocked.

Are Rona and Harvey twins?

So Harvey, who is also the king of gods and also the birthday star, will see how humans will only celebrate for the goddess of light, and even deprive the darkness of the night. What kind of mood will it be?The strangeness and disobedience I saw on his face at that time should be the anger that is incompatible with the joyous atmosphere around him, right?

What surprised Neia the most was that Harvey actually endured it.He thought that Harvey's temper should have exploded on the street.

Neia soon discovered that he was too relieved too soon.

Feida came to see him the next day and reminded him to be careful of the candles.For there were so many living fires in the city that they seemed to bloom everywhere.

Neia thought of Harvey's lonely back last night, and felt a little nervous: "Can you do me a favor?"

Feida looked at him curiously.

That night, Neia waited for Harvey all night, but Harvey didn't come.

The next day, he continued to wait.

Another day, Harvey still did not come again.

At night, Neia still wanted to wait, but her eyelids couldn't hold it anymore, and she fell asleep slowly against the wall following the hazy drowsiness.After he fell asleep, a black smoke emerged from the ground, came to him, slowly turned into a figure, stared at him silently for a while, then turned to look at the strange paper house beside him.

You have to bend over to enter this room, and you can only sit or lie down, and you can only sit seven or eight people sitting, and only two or three people lying down, it is very narrow.Harvey closed the door, and it was dark inside.He was able to see things in the dark, and saw that the walls of the paper house were filled with words such as the great dark god, the great Harvey, and a few large characters on the top, saying happy birthday.

"Ugly."

Harvey pushed open the door. Neia was squatting in front of the door, looking at him eagerly. Hearing this comment, he blushed and said, "I wanted to build a palace, but there wasn't enough cardboard."

Harvey had a half-smile: "Oh, there's not enough cardboard."

Neia was afraid that he would see through her, so she said, "Later, I wanted to build a villa, but the layout was not easy to deal with."

Harvey really smiled this time: "Oh."

Neia said: "I thought about it, why not build a connected house, you can arrange it however you want."

Harvey said, "What is this?"

"Little black room, your birthday present." Neia couldn't make it up.He is really not a person suitable for selling and lying, so he had to tell the truth, "I can't make other things well."

"Come in." Harvey hooked his fingers.

Neia hesitated for a moment, looking at Harvey's smile, she was a little flattered.

Harvey said: "Can't you make it up to me for having such a bad birthday present?"

Neia moved to the door.

The small black room moved spontaneously, covering Neia inside, and the door closed automatically.Before Neia came back to her senses, she was hugged, a cold breath rushed towards her, and her lips were kissed.

This kiss was so gentle, so gentle that Neia was already intoxicated before she could resist.

In the end, Neia felt that she was really drunk, and she didn't even respond to Harvey's hand in her clothes.

After a while...

he has slept.

When Harvey found that he was no longer responding, he poked his face depressedly. Hearing his steady breathing, he had to believe depressedly that the person in his arms was indeed sleepy when he was burning with enthusiasm.Of course he knew that the reason why Neia fell asleep was because he deliberately let him dry for a few days, so he couldn't stay up all night, so he fell asleep.

He was even more angry when he knew the reason.

There is always the illusion of reaping the consequences.

He retracted his hand, just brushed the scar on Neia's heart with his fingertips, and the unconscious smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly fell flat.He pulled off Neia's clothes, looked at the scar, and all the previous events came to mind one by one.He wanted to convince himself that the person in front of him was a human named Neia, but deep down he knew that he was deceiving himself.

Isn't the fundamental reason why I care about Neia because I know that he is not just Neia?

A stream of black air revolved around Neia's neck, slowly shrinking, shrinking...

Neia coughed a little out of breath.

The black air suddenly dissipated.

Neia opened her eyes blankly, not knowing what happened.Just now, it seems that you suddenly feel difficult to breathe?The small black room was too dark, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. Harvey's leg was pressing against his own, but the atmosphere was very wrong.

Could it be because he suddenly fell asleep?

Feeling guilty, Neia stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.

The door was pushed open and the moonlight came in.

Harvey moved his head, hiding his expression, then kicked Neia: "Get out."

Neia: "..."

Harvey said: "This is my birthday present, you are not allowed to stay in it."

Neia scrambled out and wanted to turn around and say something, when the door suddenly closed.

……

Maybe he was angry because he suddenly fell asleep.

He used to be very concerned about Harvey's volatile temper, but at this moment, he was not angry at all, but rather amused.If this continues, my tolerance for Harvey will become higher and higher.

……

Neia touched her lips, feeling a little lost.It doesn't look like a good thing.
