【Norley】Ultramarine Deep White

I want to turn into snowflakes falling in the sky and bury all your pain.

Frost and snow in December flew all over the sky, and the cold current turned unexpectedly, piercing through the glass and flying onto Lei's face, soaking into every inch of reason and soaking every waking moment. He slapped off Norman's gentle fingers vigorously. Qunqing's pupils looked at each other, "This joke is not funny at all, tell me, don't you want me and Emma to go to the seven walls?"

"Sorry." Norman withdrew his hand indifferently, "I don't want to."

"Then why don't you tell me you don't want to? Are you happy without telling me!"

What made Lei angry was not being deceived, but Norman's refusal to tell in advance. Although he knew that Norman was a guy who used all means for his ends and would use everyone, including himself, as a pawn to lay out, he still couldn't resist being counted into it. unhappy.

It’s different from being calculated when he left the farm. At that time, Norman wanted to save him and everyone. Now he doesn’t know what Norman is thinking at all. back the rope.This is not the case. Norman will not help the human world to start a war without thinking, let alone watch it being used and discarded. The truth is far more complicated than he guessed.

And Norman didn't intend to tell him the truth, and once again tricked him into hiding in the safe zone.

"I don't think Ray will give up on his idea, and I don't want to force Ray to give up."

"You think Vincent will follow us, and then knock me unconscious and bring me back, so you don't want to force me to give up?" Lei raised his voice, "It's funny that you don't want to."

"You can go there again, of course, the premise is that you can leave the command post."

Norman kindly offered advice, like Ray's companion, like, the truth is they're not on the same page, both rational and emotional.Lei roughly figured out that Norman's next actions must not allow him and Emma to intervene, and they must not let the two of them go to the seven walls to find something, which may disrupt Norman's plan, he clenched his fists, and then let go , without much effort, calmed down again, "I won't leave, where is Emma."

"Emma and Barbara are together, they're roommates now."

Even with Barbara, that's the radical group of haters. Ray became more and more confused about Norman's thoughts. He forced himself to observe. Norman's thoughts can definitely be seen from the specific arrangement of this step. Careful attention , “I said Norman, Emma didn’t ask you, why did you stop us from going to the seven walls?”

"Before she asked me, I had already told her the plan of human beings to eliminate ghosts and achieve unity. Rather than go to the seven walls to find uncertain existence, she wanted to go to the human world to find what she wanted, ideal and gentle. Of course she doesn't mean it, I know, but she'll just stay here until Barbara sends her off."

"She'll be good..." Ray stared at Norman, "What did you do?"

"You assist me without telling her, she is the only dissonant voice, and she has to compromise." Norman did not hide the fact that he used Ray's support to psychologically attack Emma.

"yes."

Coldly bypassing Norman, Ray rushed out, and after 10 minutes, he found a girl who was pestered by Barbara and wanted to cut off her stupid hair. Seeing him, Emma breathed a sigh of relief and slammed Shaking his head, his eyes seemed to say: Don't come here.

Ray didn't know the specific content of Norman's conversation with Emma, ​​and with Barbara watching, he had to go back the same way. Norman was still standing in his room, expecting him to come back. Norman closed the window and invited them with a smile. He went to play chess with Emma.

In the next few days, the three met, ate, and played chess as if nothing had happened.Ray and Emma's movements were not restricted, and Norman didn't really imprison anyone. To be more precise, he just put Ray and Emma under house arrest under the surveillance of several subordinates and child-eating children. The eyeliner watched in shifts to prevent them from running to the seven walls, because no matter what kind of accident happened, the consequences could not be afforded.

"Emma, ​​isn't Barbara here?"

"For her absence, Ray, I have something to do..."

"I have something to do too..."

Ray tried every means to find an opportunity to communicate with Emma, ​​but as long as the two of them were alone, Norman would definitely be there, "Coincidentally, you are also here." He really wanted to whitewash the peace in front of Emma, ​​but he couldn't help but face him coldly. After chatting with Emma for lunch, Norman put down the knife and fork and asked directly, "Well, does Ray hate me?"

"No, I like you."

Responding indifferently and plausibly, Lei got up and left.

Norman smiled helplessly and left.Faced with the alienated back of the two who left together but not side by side, Emma decided to act immediately. Her compromise and retreat were not what Norman had guessed, thinking that she was alone and helpless, and could only drift with the crowd.In fact, when she learned of Norman's plan, she was planning to leave and go to the seven walls alone to find the answer, but the atmosphere between Norman and Ray had been so bad that she couldn't just ignore it, so she would Just sit back and do nothing.

Because she wanted to repair the relationship between Norman and Ray, she intuitively felt that there was a rift between the two because of something, and if they didn't understand each other as soon as possible, scars would be left that could not be erased.

A few hours later, Ray and Norman received a heartfelt hand letter from Emma at the same time. The content of the letter was simple: I will wait for you in the storage room next to the kitchen at midnight, and I want to have a private conversation with you, appealing to my true heart , please do not tell another person about this meeting.

Ray thought that Emma had finally found a chance to talk to him about her support for Norman's concealment of her and how she escaped from the command post to the seven walls. It was still some time before midnight, so she avoided the surveillance and turned to the storage room by the stairs under the window. The door of the storage room was not locked, and the key was still inserted in the hole. He quietly entered the dusty room, and he closed the door carefully. There was a figure behind the area where the wooden boxes were piled up, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

He cautiously touched the man's side, and called out tentatively, "Emma?"

As soon as the man grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the front, the choking dust and moths fluttered in the air. The two faced each other for a long time in the dark corner, and gradually read each other's outline and eyes. Lei couldn't help it. Frowning, "Norman?"

"it's me."

"How could it be you? Emma!"

"Haven't you thought about the possibility of me?" Norman was not surprised, he felt that the letter was tricky, Emma's letter was too abrupt and ambiguous, "I have thought about it, it really is Ray."

Could it be that both of them received letters from Emma, ​​and Emma's absence meant... Realizing that everything was just Emma's trick, Ray murmured in trouble. I was alone, but the door couldn't be opened no matter how hard I tried.

"This is... Hey Norman, the door is locked."

"It's locked from the outside, and I can't open it."

Walking quietly to Lei's side, Norman expressed helplessness. Lei knew who locked it, and Norman also knew. The two looked at each other and smiled wryly at Emma's genius move.
