MTL - I Like This Dream!-Chapter 2
In the summer of 337 in the Cecil calendar, the entire city of Abery saw that terrible thunderstorm. Dozens of bolts of lightning pierced into the west of the city one after another, and the time of occurrence was so close that it seemed to the naked eye that dozens of silver threads twisted into a huge sword, piercing into the ground like a punishment from heaven.
Abery's patrol team gathered against the heavy rain and walked quickly to the west of the city. Walking in the front was a stern-faced middle-aged woman with **** hair and a captain's badge on her chest. Immediately behind her was a young man with blond hair peeping from the brim of his hat and a face full of childishness, just old enough to be admitted to the police force.
In this weather, even wearing the rain cloak of the patrol team is not enough. He wiped his face to wipe off the rainwater that hit his face through the cloak. The older and taller young policeman walked quickly to his side and put his hands on his shoulders. The rain curtain seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand, and he stopped harassing the young man.
"Can you see the way now, Chris?" he said, somewhat smugly.
"Please don't do this, Rowan." The young man called Chris said coldly, "You may need to fight later, so don't waste your abilities here."
"Fight? Abery's enchantment is stable. How many years haven't we encountered any need for a patrol team to fight? We're just rushing to clean up the yard for Sullivan's lords." Rowan sneered, looking at Chris Wensi's expression remained unchanged, and his smile was a bit embarrassing, "Are you serious?"
Chris looked at him expressionlessly, until he stopped smiling and withdrew his hand with an ugly face.
"Now is not the time to fight!" The captain turned around and gave them a stern look, "Chris, are you okay?"
"Yes." Chris replied.
Rowan muttered something and walked to the back, and soon there was a burst of quiet laughter from behind. With a sullen face, Chris followed closely behind the captain. This is the first time he participated in a mission after joining the team. The previous week in the team was enough for Chris to understand his situation. It will not be easier than anyone who joined the team, and it will not be more difficult than staying at home and choosing another path. . As the youngest member of the team and the only omega, he was already mentally prepared.
Even if Chris can beat everyone on the team with his bare hands except the captain, it will take time for him to gain respect.
This team in gray cloaks and carrying lamps stopped outside Sullivan Manor. They stood there, all of them lost their relaxed expressions. Worse than anything imagined, what they need to face is not a nobleman who has lost his manor and is furious. Black smoke rose from the once gorgeous manor, and the incomplete mansion was extremely quiet, without a single servant running around, it was as quiet as a haunted house.
"Simon," the captain's voice was tense, "are there any broken barriers and strange beasts here?"
A person in the team came out, closed his eyes, shook his head for a while.
"Let's go in, let's rent it together, investigate separately, and smash the signal symbol if necessary." The captain ordered.
"Captain?" Rowan asked hesitantly, "Do we need to go back for support?"
"Standing at the door and looking for support?" The captain gave him a hard look, if Luo Wen didn't have a high-ranking uncle, her reaction would be more than that, "Rowan, you and I are in the same group. Chris and Simon are in a group, and the others are free to form, act now!"
The patrol team was quickly divided into groups and dispersed throughout the huge Sullivan estate.
Simon walked ahead of Chris, and his detection ability could detect danger in advance. What they want to investigate is the middle road, from the gate through the courtyard, all the way to the back door, and then return to the same road to meet. The corridor was darker than the outside, the rainstorm came too suddenly, the servants had not had time to light the lamps, and the only light source was the lantern in the hand of the patrolman. After walking for a few minutes, they noticed a spot of light on the ground ahead from which the rain was pouring.
"No abnormality, just a hole." Simon frowned.
This is Sullivan's manor. Even though they lost their only adult Alpha in the tragic beast horde many years ago, this family that has lost its former glory is still the top nobleman in Abbott. There should be no holes in the corridors, and its neurotic masters of honor will not allow it. Simon approached there cautiously, looked up at the ceiling, stepped on something suddenly, and almost jumped forward.
Chris grabbed his cloak quickly and pulled him back. Simon staggered a few steps, and thanked him in some embarrassment. Chris spotted the shadows underground with sharp eyes, and shone the lantern there.
The faces of both of them changed, and the part illuminated by the light was an arm, which was burnt black like coke. The corpse was dressed in the clothes of a servant, with a distorted expression, as if terrified.
"Lightning?" Simon muttered to himself, holding up the lantern to look at the ceiling of the corridor. There were traces of high temperature burning on the edge of the hole.
Chris shook his head and gently moved the body away, leaving the floor intact. "I don't think Lightning is that accurate," he said.
"We should send a signal," Simon said.
If it wasn't a natural disaster or a strange beast, it was undoubtedly the work of the supernatural being. Before Chris could speak, the explosion of the signal symbol was heard from afar. They looked at each other and walked back quickly. There is a small door in the place you just passed, and you can take a shortcut through the courtyard to meet the signal point.
"I'll go ahead." Chris suggested, "Your abilities can only detect barrier loopholes and strange beasts, and have no sense of abilities."
"In addition to having detection abilities, I am also a patrolman who has been in the team for four years."
"My ability lies in physical fitness and recovery, which is more suitable for being a forward."
"I won't let an omega stand in my way." Simon refused without turning his head. As soon as he took two steps out of the corridor, there was a slight crackling sound in the air, and before he could make a sound, he fell to the ground.
Chris's hair stood on end, grabbing Simon by the shoulder and trying to pull him back into the hallway. As soon as his hands touched the opponent's shoulders, his hands hurt and his whole body became numb. The accident left him frozen in place, scanning the courtyard vigilantly as a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the only person standing in the courtyard.
A shorty—that was Chris' first reaction. Then he suddenly realized that the other party was not short, just young. How old is that kid? ten years old? eleven? She was only a little taller than Chris's waist, with the typical light blond curly hair of the Sullivan family. She stood in the rain, but both the white pajamas on her body and the shoulder-length hair were unreasonably fluffy and dry, like rain being soaked by a A transparent membrane seems to block the outside.
"Hello!" she said.
"…Hello?"
Chris was taken aback by the untimely greeting, the kid appeared too strange, and the expression on his face was too casual, as if he was walking in the sun. She walked slowly and was about to go elsewhere. There is no one else here, and Chris had an incredible guess in his heart, and stopped her: "Wait, just now... did you do it?"
The question was abrupt, but the girl stopped and shrugged casually. "Me? Probably." She said, "I didn't expect anyone else, so I was taken aback."
"So you attacked him?"
"Probably." The girl replied, still walking in the direction of Chris with a sleepwalking expression.
Chris tensed up, and his numb hands were recovering quickly, and they would be ready to attack soon. The wind was blowing towards Chris with the rain and the girl's breath. It was a sweet smell with a metallic texture. The omega's nose immediately recognized that it was a newborn alpha.
God loves the world, so when children become adults, that is, when they differentiate into sub-sexual characteristics, some beloved ones will awaken their supernatural powers. The chances of noble alphas awakening are so scary that those without supernatural powers are called "unsound". Any noble alpha is worth guarding against, this is common sense.
A terrible thought lingered in his heart, and Chris blurted out: "The corpse inside is also your victim?"
The girl stared at him blankly, then burst out laughing. It was a very innocent smile, with a pair of small dimples, but it made people feel chills under the gloomy rain clouds. "They're so annoying." She smiled cutely, "Now the whole room is cleared, I'm amazing."
"The whole room?" Chris repeated stiffly.
"Not one left." The girl nodded.
All my wishes come true, I'm so good - the joy from the heart is about to overflow. Chris was cold all over, and he had already made up his mind that he would never allow this monster to harm others even if he risked his life. He was so concentrated that he was about to hit the opponent with a thunderbolt strike, but the monster shook and fell limply to the ground.
Chris looked at her in astonishment, suspecting that it was a trap. The rain began to fall on the girl, soaking her dress and hair. Chris gritted his teeth and rushed forward, strangling the other party's neck. The girl's slender neck stayed quietly in his palm, as if it would break if he squeezed it lightly. Her eyes remained closed, motionless, harmless and pure as an angel.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Simon stood up coughing, he just passed out just now. Chris was so relieved that he almost fell to the ground. Even if he is more mature than his peers, Chris is only eighteen years old at this time, just a young man with little experience.
"Are you okay, Simon?" He didn't dare to let go of the dangerous element in his hand, and shouted on the spot.
"I didn't... Wait, what are you doing with Miss Sullivan's family?" Simon's eyes widened.
"Is she the eldest lady of the Sullivan family?" Chris looked at the unconscious girl in his hand in surprise, and shook his head, "Then I'm afraid we have encountered a big problem."
