Chapter 1380 Appear 1
There was a musty smell in the room. Of course, Maca was not surprised by this, because this was the norm in the smoky London. m.xx
An old curtain hangs in front of the hazy window, blocking out most of the light, leaving only a few beams of light slanting through the mist in the room, carrying sporadic dust.
He only felt silence in his ears, only the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the floor echoed in the crowded storage room.
But...how should I say it?
Although he didn't sense any sign of someone hiding here, the residual magic power just now was interrupted here after all, which gave him reason to think that the girl was probably hiding here now.
"Tap...tap...tap."
This storage room is really not big, especially after it is full of sundries, people can't even take a few more steps. Soon, when Maca passed the cabinet full of age, he stopped suddenly.
"I know...you're here, right?"
Maca didn't look around meaninglessly, because he knew that since the girl had already hidden, it would definitely be useless to use his eyes alone.
After waiting for a while and finding that no one around responded to him, he continued:
"Yes, I can understand how you feel now, after all just now... um, but you didn't take the initiative to connect the necklace and lead me here before? Now that I'm here, you don't want to tell me that you want me What are you doing here?"
At this moment, in the corner next to the cabinet, the girl was sitting on the floor with her body curled up. The corner was dirty, and she had already been covered in dust, but she didn't seem to care much about it.
In fact, Maca is standing in front of her right now, and the distance between the two is only half a step.
However, it wasn't until she heard Maca talking about the cursed necklace that the girl slowly raised her head and looked at the profile of Maca who was standing sideways.
"So... is he Maca McClain?"
That's right, before Maca himself mentioned the reason for his coming, the girl didn't even know who he was. She thought that this young wizard who was chasing her all the way was also one of Hai Erbo's subordinates!
However, even though she already knew Maca's identity, the girl still didn't show up to see her. It means that the one who called the other party was indeed herself,
But at that time, it originally meant a gentleman's middle age.
I remember that when he realized that Haierbo was out of control, the middle-aged gentleman immediately asked her to deliberately attract Maca's attention, obviously wanting to use Maca's power to save his life.
After all, Maca seems to be the only one who can face that demon and be barely undefeated.
It's a pity that the prudish middle-aged gentleman still overestimated his own strength. He didn't last long before he was punched through the chest by the devil and ended his life.
But now, to be honest, the girl is actually very scared in her heart. Even though it was Maca who came and seemed to be friendly, she still didn't dare to leave the hidden protection of the magic ring.
Up to now, she was the only one left among the three, and she knew very well that she was not weak enough to support herself to take the slightest risk.
However, at the next moment...
"Okay! It's okay if you don't want to come out for the time being... The concealment magic you used is very effective. I believe that even if it can't completely deceive the demon, it can at least make it impossible for him to find you soon .If you wish to take a break here and catch your breath...I can help you lure that guy further away first."
Maca's words were quite considerate, but then, he suddenly took out something from his waist.
"This should be your thing, right? I think you should take it very seriously...I just put it here, and you can take it back after I leave."
Just as he was talking, he gently placed the little bear doll in his hand on a shelf at hand, and then took a step back, as if he really planned to leave.
But at this moment, the girl who saw clearly what Maca had left behind could no longer bear the dependence and yearning for that doll, which completely overwhelmed her inner rationality, causing her to stand up and step forward. One small step.
"Linna!"
Because of the magic barrier generated by the ring, her voice did not ring in Maca's ears. But the storage room was really too crowded. Her step just happened to cause her to rub against the cabinet next to her, and an old poster with a corner missing moved slightly.
Needless to say, in this small house where everything seems to be still, even the slightest movement will be caught. Maca didn't even pay attention to this before, but she noticed it immediately.
"Oh, is it really here?"
Maca, who was about to turn around, paused for a moment. He intentionally waited a little longer, and after realizing that the girl still had no intention of coming out, he could only chuckle and shrug his shoulders.
"Okay! Then... let's see you later!" He smiled, "I hope that when I come back, you are willing to have a few words with me. You know, the safest place right now is outside the fog in London. And I can take you out at any time."
Having said that, Maca finally turned around again, leaving as she came, and was about to reach out to open the back door. But before he could turn the doorknob, a footstep that didn't belong to him made him stop again.
"……thanks."
Hearing the girl's voice behind her, Maka raised her eyebrows slightly, and then turned her head away. He saw that it was actually an ordinary girl who didn't look very good, carefully holding the doll he had just put down, with her head slightly lowered.
Even though she was saying thanks, the girl didn't look up at Maca, as if doing so would make her feel very uncomfortable.
"Well," Maca observed her for a while, and then nodded, "You're welcome... It's just a coincidence that I brought this doll. I saw that it was very clean, so I was thinking, its owner should be Cherish it."
"No," the girl interrupted suddenly, "not 'Master'... Linna is my best friend."
"Oh well!"
Maca smiled apologetically, then waved his hand and said:
"Then, congratulations on being able to reunite... Uh, now that you're all out, would you like to leave this ghostly place with me?"
At this time, there is absolutely no one who is still in London. Maca hopes to get some latest information from the other party.
Yes, preferably the one related to Haierbo!
However, the girl opposite did not answer his question directly.
"Excuse me," she heard her say, "are you...Mr. McLean?"
