The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

East China Sea
"Title—The Sinking Despair."

Under the waning moon in the dark night, a dark figure was floating in the night sky.

It stretched out its bony hands, compared the thumb and forefinger to form a 7, and then slowly closed them until the large wooden boat on the river and sea level was shrouded in it...

"Tick...tick..."

This is the bathroom on the Fushun. I have to say that Miss Anita's ship is great, and it is even equipped with a luxurious fresh water bathroom. Although it is a bit crude compared to the luxurious baths on land, it is already very good in this kind of place. Rare.

With her head down, Li Nali stretched out her hand and tightened the switch of the shower. She stood there not knowing what to think, and after standing there for a while, she put on her clothes again.

Her jet-black hair was scattered over her face, and her expression could not be seen.

"If that day..."

If on that day, her speed was faster, would she be able to catch up with Allen before he was attacked!

Allen Walker, that innocent 16-year-old boy, Li Nali has always felt guilty about his bad news, because she brought him there on the day the other party had an accident.

And told the other party something related to Jiu Luo, and expressed his desire to rescue Siman.

It was his own innocence and selfishness that dragged Allen down and caused everyone to lose a precious partner.

The recent sacrifices of fellow Black Order members have been great, and perhaps...more to come.

It is entirely possible that when they arrive in Edo, they will definitely encounter one war after another that is more brutal than before.

And in the war, who will be the next victim?

Li Nali closed her eyes with some discomfort, and shook her head. For some reason, she had nightmares more and more frequently.

After being attacked by Rhodes' spirit, Li Nali would see those scenes of the black order after the end of the world from time to time.

At the same time, there are many buildings and cities that she has never seen before, like the end of the world, and the most frightening thing is that these things seem to be becoming real little by little.

Allen...Siman...even herself, everyone is walking towards the abyss.

"Clap!"

In the captain's cabin on the other side, the well-proportioned and slender Anita tapped the pencil in her hand on the table, and nodded in satisfaction.

She successfully planned the next route. If she is lucky, she can arrive in Edo within two days. Now everyone has been sailing at sea for nearly a week, and they are already very tired.

"In this case, I just completed 4/5 of the journey, and the weather these days seems to be fine. Although the wind and waves are a bit heavy, but fortunately, it doesn't hurt. Fresh water...food...huh."

Anita took a deep breath, she hadn't sailed so far in person for a long time.

When doing these things in person again, I always feel that my hands are a little raw, but...

Anita leaned back on the chair tiredly, thanks to the fact that her subordinates are a group of very good sailors, otherwise this voyage would not have been so smooth.

After all, it was time to go to sea during the heavy rain.

"Dong dong dong..."

Someone is knocking on the door outside.

"Miss Anita, it's me, Li Nali."

Anita opened the door, and Li Nali outside the door seemed a little embarrassed.

That's right, it's already so late after all.

"Sorry to bother you so late, but do you have anything I can borrow to tie my hair?"

Li Nali curled a lock of hair back and forth with her index finger, looking a little shy.

When Anita saw Li Nali coming in with her hair loose, she was stunned accidentally.

Because even a woman would feel that the girl in front of her at this moment is really beautiful.

"It's like hugging and sticking it!"

This immature thought involuntarily popped up in Anita's mind, but soon she came back to her senses, and nodded vigorously hastily.

"Did you lose the hair rope?"

"Well, I accidentally dropped it, and then it was washed away, and now there is only one left."

It was only then that Anita noticed that Li Nali was still holding a strange-looking hairpin in one hand like a baby.

"It's such a unique card issuance!"

As Anita spoke, she got up and went to her dressing cabinet, bent over and rolled over.

"Yeah, I also think it's quite strange, obviously it doesn't look suitable for girls to wear, and the most important thing is that it only has one..."

Although Li Nali was complaining, she was full of liking when she saw the hairpin in her eyes.

"You are really easy to understand! It must be a gift from a good friend! He must be very important to you."

As soon as Anita turned her head, she saw the girl's easy-to-understand look, and said with a smile.

"It's no longer here, it's just a friend who walks very close..."

Li Nali seemed to realize something, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time her legs were unconsciously twitching.

"If it's just a friend, for a girl, she won't wear such an inappropriate hairpin on her head all the time."

What an understanding child!

Anita smiled slightly at Li Nali, and tied the exquisite hairpin taken out of the box to Li Nali's head.

"If this is the case, keep it well and try mine first. To be honest, I think this set is unexpectedly suitable for you."

Anita smiled.

That thing obviously has a different meaning to Li Nali, but I don't know what kind of incomprehensible boy would give such an inappropriate gift to such a beautiful girl in front of him.

And only one...

Li Nali has always had double ponytails, so it should be a pair to be considered a suitable gift. Could it be that the other party didn't choose carefully?

In all fairness, the hairpin held in Li Nali's hands like a baby is indeed very ordinary, and the silver-white gadget looks a little rough in workmanship.

Whether it is the texture or the flower print, it looks like it was printed randomly. To be honest, this thing doesn't look suitable for girls to wear on their heads as decorations.

but……

Anita looked at Li Nali's expression, and decided not to say the evaluation in her stomach.

"All right!"

Anita clapped her hands, and then put the vanity mirror in front of Li Nali.

"It's really suitable!"

While talking, he couldn't help but gently stroked Li Nali's soft hair twice with his hand.

"This is my mother's relic, but it seems to be more suitable for you."

Anita said with a smile, her eyes full of nostalgia.

That woman's hair was as soft and silky as Li Nali...

"Hey, is this okay? With such an important thing..."

After Li Nali heard about the source of the hairpin, she suddenly became a little embarrassed. She just wanted to borrow a rope and tie her hair.

"It doesn't matter, she originally made an appointment to give it to me when I turned 18 and became an adult, but unfortunately that day didn't come.

She was killed by demons before then, so I never used it again, and it would be really nice to find a suitable home for it. "

Anita looked a little sad.

"demon……"

Li Nali looked at the sad expression of the other party, and suddenly felt that her breathing became a little heavy. If there were no demons, the relationship between their mother and daughter would definitely be very good.

Miss Anita didn't need to live such a life either.

"Miss Anita's mother is also an assistant of the order?"

"Hahaha, yes, my mother has been living here until she saw Mr. Culos one day. She fell in love with that man at first sight, and then became an assistant so smoothly."

"Yes...is that so?"

When it came to the topic of love suddenly, Li Nali couldn't help but blushed again as she was still discussing the marshal's old affairs with such bare bones.

I admit it so generously, isn't this like... the lover of Marshal Kulos?
"Actually... I don't have the right to laugh at her. I really want to help that man and become his support, so I choose to do this."

Anita suddenly sighed deeply, and said with some regret, but this also showed something.

"…………"

Li Nali's face turned redder, should she admit that Miss Anita is really a very bold woman?

"My mother is not the only one who is fascinated by that man. An attractive person is always more likely to attract the opposite sex around him.

Isn't it? "

Seeing Miss Anita speaking boldly on her own, Li Nali felt that she should not be able to get involved in this topic.

Although there was a period of time when I heard Allen talk about his master's flirtatious past, I didn't expect this man to be so unrestrained...

"Did you... have you always believed that Marshal Kulos is still alive?"

After hearing the other party's question, Anita stopped her talk, and after pondering for a while, she replied extremely firmly.

"I have never doubted this, he will definitely be alive, I have always believed... because that is my strongest strength."

Li Nali was stunned for a moment, she felt that when the other party said these words firmly, there seemed to be light in his eyes.

"Well, I believe we will find the Marshal to join everyone, defeat the Earl of Millennium, and then... go home."

The girl seemed to be inspired, she shook her fist, and with Miss Anita's encouragement, even the haze in her heart was diluted a lot.

"When I get home, is there anyone I want to see, for example... the... friend who gave you a gift."

Anita deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words, and then looked narrowly at the girl.

"Really, don't make fun of me, Miss Anita."

Li Nali was a little embarrassed again, and lowered her head.

Seeing this scene, Anita smiled more gently.

"It's nice to be young! The next time you see that man again...tell him your love!

What my mother always wanted to do, but didn't dare to do, let me do it..."

Talking to herself in a low voice, Li Nali didn't hear it, she was still immersed in the expectation of the future.

Like a girl in some kind of love.

Anita Chen, as the assistant of the Black Order, actually has nothing special in it.

In fact, to be more accurate, she should be the assistant who belongs exclusively to Kuros Marian.

As a woman, she was deeply fascinated by that man, even though Kolos Marian had explicitly rejected her many times.

"Anita, you are a good woman, I understand what you think, but you are still young, you should have your own path, trust your mother, and I don't want you to be like this."

Kuros had said this to her many times, but he was still trying to get closer like a moth chasing a flame.

Since when did that man leave an indelible mark on his heart.

Maybe it's that day...

Anita's background is actually not good, but this is not something she can decide. She has lived with her mother in an art museum in the port since she was a child, and has seen all kinds of realities.

It wasn't until that man appeared here that he added a different color to the somewhat gloomy life of the mother and daughter.

The mother was deeply fascinated by that man. Although it was just a casual act by the other party, it was a great salvation for their mother and daughter.

However, my mother has always been very inferior. Because of her identity, she never dared to reveal her feelings, even after she laid down a weak foundation with the help of Mr. Kuros.

She felt that she was not worthy of that lord...even though he had always longed to stand by his side in an open and honest manner.

It's a pity that she didn't make up her mind until the day she died.

The same is true for Anita, the back of the other party has always been the most stalwart in her memory, and she also wants to serve the adults wholeheartedly like her own mother... No, she wants more.

This time, she finally got such a chance.

She wants to be like a partner, stand by the adult's side openly, contribute her own strength to him, and then... realize her wish.

"Miss Anita? Miss Anita?"

Li Nali's call brought her thoughts back to reality. Seeing the other party's confused face, Anita nodded in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I slipped away a little bit just now, I'm a little... a little tired!"

She will arrive in Edo in two days, and she has lived in the harbor all year round, so she is naturally no stranger to the rumors there.

There are often rumors about the taboo place on the Japanese side among the sailors who come and go.

For example, that country has completely become the territory of demons and ghosts... But Anita knows that it is all caused by demons.

"So that's the case, then I'll go back first, Miss Anita must have a good rest."

Li Nali looked at the other party with concern. All the matters related to the voyage have been planned by the other party, and it must have consumed a lot of energy.

"OK, good night……"

Today's moon seems to be extraordinarily bright.
