[Variety Drama] The Listener

Leo saw that Zhu Xiao's breathing was very calm, and knew that he had fallen asleep, so he lay flat, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Although Zhu Xiao was breathing very calmly, he was not asleep. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was 12 years old, looking at the ancient building in front of him.The originally gloomy ancient building now exudes colorful light.He had seen such multicolored light before, and it was the same color as the butterflies he had seen when he was a child.Every time he came to this ancient building, he felt that this ancient building seemed to be different from last time.

He even had a feeling that this ancient building was actually alive, a real object with life.

He pushed open the door. The structure inside was still the same, but the original murals were different. The original murals on the wall disappeared and all turned black.He took a closer look and found that all the murals on it had disappeared. They really disappeared. He even stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the entire wall was black with no paint at all, as if the murals were originally there. It doesn't exist.

He still walked along the light, and he saw a special wall at the beginning of the mural.There is a line of writing on the wall, which he does not understand, but this does not prevent him from writing down the patterns that look like words and pictures.

Under these words was a concave butterfly carving. He touched the concave pattern and found some concave marks on the part of the butterfly's wings.His intuition told himself that this thing should be the key they were looking for, he closed his eyes and carefully touched the mark of the butterfly, wanting to fully remember this pattern, he was so good that he could draw it outside.

Zhu Xiao closed his eyes, carefully drawing.Not letting go of a little detail, he didn't walk out of the ancient building until he was sure he remembered it. As his feet completely stepped out of the ancient building, those dazzling colorful lights disappeared.

But I don't know why he wanted to draw those words and the butterfly to the elders, but he couldn't draw anything.He actually forgot the appearance of those words and that pattern. His memory has been trained. Although he can't remember it with a photograph, he will not forget it so quickly and thoroughly.

Zhu Xiao didn't know why the sealed memory came out again at this time. He raised his hand and wanted to draw the butterfly pattern. Originally, he didn't hold out hope, but his hand seemed to have been drawn for thousands of years. It was the same a hundred times, and he drew the pattern very skillfully.

Zhu Xiao opened his eyes and looked at his hands as if they were moving, and a transparent butterfly pattern appeared in the air.

The pattern of the butterfly was very clear in his mind and heart, and he closed his eyes again, not knowing why at this moment, he reminded himself of this matter.His fingers unconsciously drew the shape of a butterfly again, and the sunken butterfly imprint also appeared in his mind.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, and he finally knew why he remembered.This pattern, he had seen on Daniel's body, was the pendant given to him by the little boy.His eyes glowed faintly in the darkness, and thousands of thoughts flooded his mind.

Before he could figure it out, Leo's voice sounded, "I don't know what your purpose is, and I don't know what your origin is, but I only know one thing, if someone hurts Daniel, it's considered a I will not let him go." Leo's voice was not loud, but his tone was very certain.

Zhu Xiao didn't move, but closed his eyes again.

This night was spent in this weird atmosphere.

The next day, Daniel walked around the town and found that all the vampires and werewolves that he remembered had nothing to do with the ritual had disappeared.

"In order to prevent them from inadvertently destroying our plan, several forces have led them out of Mystic Falls, and only ordinary people are left here." Grant suddenly sat beside Daniel and said.

Daniel looked at Grant sitting next to him, without saying a word.

Grant still showed that bright smile, "Why haven't you seen me for a while, don't you know me?"

Daniel shook his head, "No, I just feel a little emotional. After this incident, I think it's time for me to grow up."

Grant stretched out his hand and stroked Daniel's hair, "You're already fine, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and us!"

Daniel looked at the man in front of him, if he hadn't already known that Grant was a traitor, he would never have noticed anything wrong with him. Grant's facial expressions and tone of voice are all in place, perfectly playing the role of a cheerful and talkative elder.

Daniel doesn't know if it's just in his nature, or if he's been acting for too long, acting has gone deep into his bones.In that case, he didn't know, and he didn't listen to his heart, because the best actor can actually believe that he is that kind of person.

"Did anything happen this time?" Grant seemed to mention it inadvertently, as if it was just the two of them chatting.

Daniel lowered his head, maybe Grant didn't know that he already knew that those people were dead, if he didn't know at all, Grant should be like Kevin, asking himself where the vampire and werewolf went, instead of acting like nothing happened now Same.

"We got there by car and found out that the town was full of wizards..." Daniel simplified his experience and told Grant.Of course he concealed the core part, he concealed that Albert Eugene had possessed Andy.

"Really? That's really thrilling! But how could the whole town be revived in that town? It can't be some relatives or something similar in appearance!" Grant's tone was very calm, as if he wasn't surprised at all. Same.If it was Daniel in the past, he would definitely not be able to find out, but now he already knows the true face of Grant, and he always looks at this person with suspicion, so he can detect the difference in Grant's mood and tone.

Daniel shook his head, "Although I'm not familiar with these people, the forensic doctor at the police station will never make a mistake. He is quite sure that these people are the same group as the ones he had autopsied."

Grant showed surprise at this time, but the speed of surprise was too slow, as if he thought for a while before showing surprise on his face.

Daniel didn't want to continue anymore, he took the initiative to change the subject, "How is the ceremony? Has the date been fixed?"

Grant looked at Daniel with fanaticism in his eyes, it wasn't fake, Daniel could feel the uncontrollable fanaticism and excitement in Grant's heart. "The preparations are almost done, and the last step is still missing, but the preparations can be completed the day after tomorrow at the latest. We have worked hard for hundreds of years, and it is finally coming true."

Daniel looked at him, how excited he was now, how sad he would be when he knew the truth.Because his plan was doomed to fail.

After breaking up with Grant, Daniel went straight home and everyone went out except Tom.He went to the kitchen and helped Tom prepare lunch.

Tom was also very happy to see Daniel come to help him, and even the movement of cutting things with his hands became a little lighter.

Daom looked happy, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little.But his main purpose is not to help Tom cook, he wants to know how Andy came to Tom's side.That person must know his affairs, maybe everything was under his control once, no, maybe the situation is under his control now.

This kind of thinking makes Daniel very irritable, he is really not suitable for playing this kind of brain games, he still likes a simpler life.

"Tom, when did you adopt Andy?" Daniel asked, looking at the photo of Andy across the kitchen.It seems that I remembered this incident after seeing these photos.

Tom gave Daniel a strange look, not knowing why he suddenly brought up this matter.But he followed Daniel's eyes to see those photos, and there was a gentle smile on his face. It was when you were six years old, and Andy was only seven years old at that time. In the morning, I was surprised to find a child lying at the door of my house. "

Until now, Tom still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.If such a small child sleeps overnight in the snow, it is very likely to freeze to death.

"I called and called an ambulance. Fortunately, Andy's health was relatively good, and there was nothing serious after that. The hospital also notified the police. They thought I was abusing children and wanted to arrest me!" Laughed.

"After that, I found out that Andy was an orphan. He was originally in the orphanage, but because he was bullied by the older children, he ran out. He happened to pass out at the door of the house. Is it fate?" Tom asked Daniel.

While washing the dishes, Daniel thought about the process.It seems that the original target of that person was Tom. The orphanage and being bullied by older children may be fake.

Although he has never been to an orphanage, he also knows that the conditions there will not be very good, plus being bullied by older children and robbed of food, how could Andy's body be frozen all night and still have nothing to do?Most likely it was all arranged in advance.Someone knew about Tom's soft-heartedness, and specially arranged for a poor life experience, so that Tom could feel compassion, so that he could arrange to adopt Andy.

Knowing Andy's background, did Daniel ask which orphanage it was? Tom also doesn't remember very clearly, but the adoption system in the United States is still very formal, and everything is very complete. Tom promised to show him the papers after dinner.

During the meal, everyone came back, Kevin's complexion was not very good, it seemed that something went wrong with the preparations for the ceremony.

Leo's eyes avoided him a little, Daniel didn't know what happened, but it was not easy to ask in front of other people.
