[Exorcism] Parallel Trap

Allen didn't speak again.He closed his eyes, trying to picture the appearance of that person in his mind, but unfortunately, the years flowed silently, which had already washed away the blurry face in his memory.

That man's name is Mana.

is his father.

As a scientist of the religious order, his father, who is engaged in confidential research, has always asked himself to call him by his real name because of his status, and rarely used the word "dad".My childhood memories are basically empty houses and closed iron gates.Mana is too busy with work, too secretive, and rarely has time for himself.But once the opportunity arises, Mana will always try to make up for it.He often said apologetically:

"Alan, I love you."

Then scratched his little head, turned and went out.As the person next to him often does, he tousles his hair and laughs indulgently.

Allen knew that he also loved Mana.Although the paternal love he can give is so thin, even though he chooses to let his own flesh and blood bear all that, even though he left prematurely.

That day, he sighed and said to himself:

"Alian, I'm giving half of my life to you now, maybe it will bring you many painful memories in the future, maybe it will change your life, but you will always be the most cherished person I can trust. "

Then, he kissed his forehead lightly.

"Alan, I love you."

Then the anesthetic kicked in, and a heavy drowsiness took over consciousness.

When he woke up, Mana was gone, leaving only a note:

"There are essentials and some money in the closet, take them and get out of here. Escape as far away as possible."

"Hope to see you again, Merry Christmas."

"Also, happy birthday!"

"—I love you, Mana."

Then he realized that there was something strange about his left hand. He took off the glove, and there was an ugly cross-shaped scar on the back of his hand.Grim and glaring.Allen knew that it was what Mana called "half his life's effort", but he had no time to take care of these anymore, so he rushed out of the door in a panic.

— Mana, where are you?

The wind was very cold that day, the sky was very dark, and the road was covered with snow.The whole town was as desolate as a huge coffin, covered with a thick white shroud.Allen stumbled and ran for a long time, but there was no one, the street was deserted, only some lights and laughter leaked from the windows.Everyone is enjoying the happiness of reunion with their relatives.

—But Mana, how could you leave me?

——Didn’t you agree that you would spend my birthday with me at home?

at home?By the way, is Mana already home?

Like a drowning man grasping at straws, Allen ran towards home like crazy, regardless of his frozen limbs and exhausted body.Finally, far away, he saw his home.

In the raging fire, the rattling home.

— Mana! !

As if his heart was being squeezed suddenly, Allen's mind went blank and he couldn't think any more. He cried out the name of that person and was about to rush in, but halfway through the rush, he was hugged tightly by both hands .It was that colleague who knew Mana very well, the voice of Kolos.He said it was useless, the fire was so big, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the fire trucks couldn't catch up and save it.

Can't save it?

——What do you mean can't be saved? !

——If you don’t try, how do you know you can’t save it?

——If you don’t save me, save me!

—I'm going to rescue Mana!

--let me go!I'm going to find Mana!

Suddenly, the back of the neck sank, and the bottomless darkness engulfed the scarlet night sky.

After that, the members of the religious order were able to find the corpse in the ruins.It is said that the overturned fish tank splashed water on it, so it was not burned.Just before that, the person had stopped breathing.The corpse, beyond recognition.

14 shots.

Except for the last shot that hit a vital point, all the others were parts that would not end their lives but were absolutely painful to the point of death.Such as the palm, such as the arch of the foot, such as the socket of the knee... the nerve endings are dense, and the feeling is highly sensitive.These are all the books I have read from Manner.

What kind of madness did the murderer do to torture Mana to this extent for this thing that was embedded in his hands?

devil.

Simply the devil!

And soon, he inquired about the devil's name from the religious group—the Earl of the Millennium.From that moment on, these four words were deeply planted in his heart like a cancer.Ten years of fear, ten years of living on thin ice, ten years of endless thoughts.Allen almost felt that he was used to being alone.He couldn't remember the last time he laughed like this, even if he just lay down peacefully and relaxed like this, it seemed like it hadn't been a long time.

Allen turned his head and looked at the profile of the person beside him.

Killer, what the hell?Cold-blooded executioner?A bloodthirsty demon?

This man, he is also a killer.A killer with flesh and blood, a killer who can make himself happy, and even, a killer who will give him a sense of security.If the time and identity were changed, the two might still be very good friends.

But there is no "if".

He is Noah's ace killer, and he was cultivated by the Earl of Millennium.is the enemy.When their identity is revealed, that is, when their entire Noah organization is destroyed in one fell swoop, the fragile peace at this moment will be burnt to nothing.Allen caressed Tim who had calmed down beside him, and for the first time in his life, he was a little afraid of that day.

The joy of this night is so extravagant.

The sky is boundless, looking down on the world with the posture of a king, it seems to be lamenting the insignificance of this ants.

"Tiqi..." The young man's voice broke the silence.

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking?"

"Hmm..." Tiqi smiled, "I wonder why there are no shooting stars tonight."

"Liar."

"Don't believe pull it down."

Tiqi thought a little amusedly, if he said that he was actually thinking about the feasibility of the old-fashioned argument of "seeing a shooting star and making a wish quickly will come true", he would definitely be cast a blank stare by the boy.In fact, I didn't believe it at first.It's just that now, there seems to be such a hope—hope that the "hypothesis" of the Millennium Lord is just a hypothesis.

Or maybe, I hope this night will never end?

For the first time, it probably really was the first time.

In the night, the man looked at the peaceful side face beside him with tenderness in his eyes.

He fell asleep, quietly and defenselessly, with his head slightly on one side, sleeping like a child.The fine eyelashes rested on the face, trembling with the gentle breathing, and the corners of the mouth seemed to be smiling.

It really is……

It's going to be a big trouble.

The man's lip line was lightly opened, as if performing some kind of ritual, he quietly changed his mouth shape——

"Euteamo."

The night breeze was cool, and a shooting star hurriedly passed by in the sky, and it disappeared without leaving a trace before the two of them realized it.

On such an intoxicating night, Tiki Meek, who had killed countless people in his life and never really loved anyone, lived in his heart with a person whom he had only known for four days.

That person's name is Allen.
