star guardian, but sword devil

"Remember...remember." Kevin touched his nose resentfully, and quickly changed the dangerous topic: "By the way, let's go back to the question just now. What do you think Lacus and the others didn't tell me? "

"...You don't think Lux and the others are only responsible for Valoran City, do you? Occasionally they run around the world. Monsters don't just stay in one place obediently and wait to die."

Ahri's tone was calm and full of intelligence—or rather, the fox girl in this state is the real her.

"In other words, Lux and the others are not angry with me, but because they are too busy fighting?"

Ari gently hooked the boy's fingertips, and nodded: "You can put it this way. I heard that after returning from Bilgewater, Lacus and the others seem to have encountered a little problem."

"small issue?"

"Velkoz." Ahri thought for a while, and said, "The name those little girls gave to the monster covered with tentacles. It probably came to the earth from the plane of nothingness some time ago. But the strength It’s not that bad, but I can solve it with a shot. But... let’s give it to Lux and the others to practice.”

Vickers...

Kevin's mouth twitched a few times.

Tentacles, monsters and magical girls.

Not so good.

Why do you feel that the visual sense is a bit heavy?

I have already figured out a series of evil stories, thank you.

"...Do you really need my help?" Kevin was a little worried, and couldn't help asking: "Can Lacus and the others solve this problem?"

"Don't worry, I let Soraka go with me." Ahri said, "Oh yes, and Gwen."

"Huh? Gwen went with her too?"

Ari nodded and said with a smile: "Although that guy's possessiveness is indeed very strong, and his personality is a little twisted, but... the knife mouth is bean curd heart, it must be her. When she knew that Lacus and the others failed in the first battle, I don't know why, I became very angry. Then I decided to go to destroy the monster together, and kept saying something, "Show me, how the first generation of Star Guardians fought!", looking unstoppable and fully fired. But it really feels like a very reliable senior."

Feeling even worse.

How do you feel... Just listening to the description gives you the illusion that you are about to be deflated at the speed of light?

"I don't know at all." Kevin wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, his throat was surging up and down: "Why didn't you tell me? In case of danger, I can take action in time."

"I originally planned to tell you." Ahri's expression was a bit reluctant, but in the end he decided to confess: "But Gwen...she doesn't seem to want to involve you."

"What the hell is that girl doing..." Kevin sighed softly, and looked at Ari in front of him again: "However, I seem to have seen just now...you and Sarah are arguing? What happened?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when talking about this topic, Ahri's smile seems to be gradually disappearing.The corner of the fox girl's mouth curved slightly bitterly, and that smile seemed extraordinarily sad for some reason.

"Ah... um."

Ari didn't deny it.

"What happened? What happened?"

"It's just some...complicated trivial matters. Even the closest friends will inevitably have some quarrels."

Ari said bluntly, without any intention of evading.

"Complicated trivia? Are you serious?"

"...Actually, it can't be said to be a trivial matter. It's just that Sarah really doesn't seem to be able to get out of that shadow."

Ari seemed to be unable to stand such a conversation, and turned his head away a little embarrassedly, trying to maintain a certain emotion that was suppressed in his heart.After a brief moment of silence, Ari, who finally got her mood together and kept calm, turned her head and looked at the boy in front of her with a forced smile.

only……

There seemed to be something faintly flickering in those eyes.

"Actually...before I formed this team with Sarah, I had another team. But because of an accident, they all died. Xayah, Luo, and Nicole. Sarah felt that all of them were Her fault, I thought she had come out of that shadow, but I didn't expect—"

Ari smiled reluctantly, as if laughing at herself, and murmured softly: "Sarah still stubbornly believed that they were still alive, and even said that she heard Xia's voice. She...she was like A different person, and I had a fight with her about it."

"Xia?"

"My former team member." Ari's eyes flashed with complex emotions: "It's also Sarah's best friend."

Although she still frowns slightly occasionally, Ahri seems to have calmed down, trying to keep her voice at a steady stage.

"...I was terrified that Sarah might go mad and do something stupid. I tried to ease the relationship with her, but it didn't work at all."

Seeing Ahri who pretends to be strong but keeps messing around, Kevin feels a little dull and aching in his heart for no reason.

As the team leader, how could she be indifferent to the passing of a team member?

The time when she lost her team members—how did Ahri spend it?

Perhaps it is also because of this that it indirectly led to the signing of such a contract between Ahri and the original star-I would rather be alone in the dry well of despair forever, and I don't want to see them cry again.

——If there is no Kevin.

"Then...shall I go talk to her and try?"

Star Guardian: Chapter 148 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] The Big Devil Zoe

Almost five days ago.

It was my first day back from Bilgewater.

Although many things happened during this period, Sarah has some precious memories.

In fact, she is not very repulsed to spend this happy holiday with everyone, and even likes it a little bit.

but……

Maybe it's because there is guilt in my heart, or maybe it's because the nightmare has never disappeared.

Sarah heard the voice again—

"You who chose to escape back then, do you really have no choice?"

Sarah woke up drenched in sweat, clutching the sheets with both hands.There was silence all around, only a dagger-like moonlight piercing the soft darkness.

dark.

lonely.

Dead silence.

Nightmare.

And - blood.

Sarah panted slightly and sat up from the bed, caressing her undulating chest, soothing the restless and fearful emotions in her heart.The tide-like dizziness hit my heart again, as if covered with a layer of soaked gauze-the only thing I can trust, the only thing I can feel-I am still alive.

No matter how hard you try, tangible things will disappear sooner or later, be it people or things.

Sarah sighed and walked barefoot to the window.A ray of dawn appeared at the end of the dark blue night.The turbulent airflow finally calmed down.

The breeze brushed the girl's cheek.But after only a short moment, she fell into the pain of memories again.

Can time really dilute the pain caused by the wound?

Maybe the pain will become weaker as time goes by, but I don't want time to heal my pain. Even if I escape from the pain and forget everything, all I get is stagnation and no progress.

but……

If you have been immersed in the abyss of sorrow and pain, what will be the result?

Sarah didn't know either.

She just felt that that voice—that voice that had already passed away—had been pulling her and guiding her...

"...Xia, I will definitely find you."

Looking at the distant horizon, Sarah murmured softly.

In a trance, she seemed to have hallucinations, and saw her former best friend standing in front of her, wrapped in a chaotic darkness, suffering from the most miserable torture in the world.

She could see her best friend moving her lips slightly, and seemed to hear her weak whisper in a trance.

"Sarah, help me..."

"Ding--"

Until a sudden ringtone of the mobile phone disturbed Sarah's thoughts.

The darkness in front of her eyes became bizarre among the colors of nothingness, and she returned to the real world.

A flash of melancholy and hesitation appeared on Sarah's face.She froze for a moment, then took the phone impatiently, and glanced at the caller ID on it.

Not Ahri, nor Soraka, but...

Kevin?

This guy……

Why are you looking for me at this time?

Despite some confusion, Sarah hesitated for a moment and connected to Kevin's call.

"Hello?" She tried her best to sound calm and indifferent.Avoid revealing her restless emotions through words: "It's only six o'clock in the morning, it's better to do less things that disturb people's dreams. If you want to get some news about Ari from me , then you may be disappointed."

Sure enough, the indifference mixed with a hint of anger, but still deliberately maintaining this rational female voice was very familiar to Kevin.

Kevin gritted his teeth, took the phone a little farther away, and rubbed his aching ears from the shock.

"...Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

Kevin, who curled his lips helplessly, cleared his throat, put the phone on his ear, and muttered something.

"It's because it's so early in the morning. That's why I'm so angry." Sarah rolled her eyes impatiently.

What happened to her today?

Did you eat dynamite?

Okay, I admit, there's something wrong with calling someone at [-] a.m. to disturb someone's sleep.

But it can't be so angry, right?

"What's the matter with you? If it's about Ahri, then it's okay. I have nothing to tell you."

Kevin couldn't help asking: "Why are you so sure that I'm here for Ahri?"

"Nonsense. You didn't come here for Ahri, could it be for Syndra? Or for Soraka? Are you planning to bring others to your Crystal Palace?"

The corners of Kevin's mouth twitched slightly.

Why is Sarah so aggressive today?

Is it the menstrual period?

"...Don't talk nonsense. If other people hear it, I will be miserable."

"Tsk." Sarah forcibly suppressed some complicated emotions in her heart, and then asked, "What are you looking for me? Or... is this a prank?"

"I'm not that bored. Get up early in the morning and play pranks."

Kevin glanced at the two bright red words 'failure' on the computer screen, and then exited the game calmly.Glancing at the chat bar in the lower left corner of the game settlement interface where demons danced wildly, he calmly turned off the game and the computer host—the gold promotion competition failed again, and Kevin no longer remembered how many times he had failed in the promotion. The heart has gradually become numb.

——Sure enough, I have to ask Akali to help me fight.

"I'm not for Ari, let alone for Syndra." With a long and helpless sigh, Kevin gradually walked to the balcony, leaning his body on the railing, looking at the dawn sky: "I am I called because of you."

Sarah was stunned for a while, with a look of distaste evident on her face: "Couldn't you be... wanting to pull me into your Crystal Palace too? Hey -- it's disgusting. If that's the case, then I'm going to Hang up the phone."

"Can you stop thinking about me so dirty, okay..." Kevin grinned, closed his eyes and took a breath to clear his body and mind: "I heard Ahri say that the relationship between you came back from Bilgewater. After that, it became very...subtle. What happened? I remember you were fine at the beginning?"

Sarah said nothing.A trace of astonishment flashed across the girl's face, and then she quickly regained her composure.

She looked at the still dark street, and finally raised her head to look at the starless sky.

"Ari asked you to come, right?"

Kevin on the other end of the phone fell into a brief silence.He sighed softly, and then spoke slowly after thinking about his words.

"Ari has already told me about what happened to your previous team." He said, "Xia, Luo and Nicole, right?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Sarah's eyes seemed to become a lot more bewildered when she heard these names.

Sarah lowered her head, clutching the hem of her white shirt with her hands, biting her lower lip tightly—the chaotic shadow lingered on her face, like a lingering nightmare.

"And then? What do you want to say?"

"I... I don't know what to say to comfort you." From his throat came a voice that sounded a little weak: "But, Ari, she is really worried about you. During your time... How do you say it? It looks like she's possessed. She's afraid you'll do something stupid because of it."

Sarah was silent for a while, and said such a short sentence in a low and hoarse voice.
