"right here."
Mu Feng squatted down with a solemn expression and gently wiped away the water stain in the center of the scene with his index finger.
It is slightly viscous than normal rainwater and has a slightly eerie blue-purple sheen, which is completely imperceptible without careful observation.
Despite being mentally prepared, Mu Feng still couldn't help but look increasingly grim when his suspicions were confirmed.
The water of the primordial womb.
Sure enough, the man in black that Caroline saw was not missing or running away, but dissolving.
It was raining heavily that day, and just as the nobles had planned, the puddle of water that shouldn't have appeared went completely unnoticed.
As for the corpse, it was naturally placed in the center of the trap beforehand, waiting for the prey to walk into the net.
These nobles!
Noticing Mu Feng's extremely gloomy expression, Wotterlin also had a bad feeling, so he quickly asked Mu Feng if he had discovered anything.
However, Mu Feng simply nodded and then shook his head, with a cryptic expression, before turning and leaving without saying a word.
……
Caroline wandered aimlessly along the streets of Fontainebleau, her sky-blue eyes devoid of any light, as she dazedly took steps forward.
It was already night, and the streetlights illuminated only a few scattered figures, making the place seem particularly deserted.
Along the way, the crowd kept their distance from Caroline, whispering among themselves in the streets and alleys.
"I told you, Melusin is not trustworthy!"
"How terrifying, will they suddenly kill someone?"
"Melushin should all get out of Fontaine!"
Despite being some distance away, the vicious curse still reached Carole's ears without missing a single word. She lowered her head even further and hurriedly turned to leave.
"Snapped!"
The mischievous children laughed and picked up stones, throwing them in Caroline's direction.
A sharp pebble struck Caroline's forehead, and the sudden pain caused a tear to involuntarily well up in her eye.
it hurts...
Caroline held back her tears, offering no rebuttal or protest, and simply staggered away in a disheveled state.
Perhaps this is the retribution she deserves...
All of Meiluxin's efforts and Mufeng's full support made it possible for them to integrate into human society.
But because of my momentary impulse, everything that everyone had worked so hard to achieve was gone...
Why can't we be more careful when the nobles have already framed us once?
It's all my fault...
If it were just her, that would be one thing.
Even her beloved brother Mu Feng was implicated because of her...
Carolie raised her somewhat hazy gaze, and saw that the Maple Dew Cafe in the distance was no longer the same as before.
The crowd, incited to their anger, smashed the coffee shop's glass windows, the tables and chairs inside were overturned, and the walls were covered in insulting graffiti, leaving the place in complete disarray.
It's all my fault...
The downpour had barely stopped when fine rain began to fall again, pattering softly in the night.
It's raining.
Having disappointed them, Mr. Villette and Watling must be very distressed...
It's all my fault...
If I disappear from this point on,
Maybe things will get better...
Without realizing it, the absent-minded Caroline unconsciously walked to the foot of her apartment building, looking up at the brightly lit windows with a dazed expression.
go home……
Do I still have a home?
Caroline pushed open the door, looking dejected and head down. To her surprise, the room, which should have been empty, was lit up. The soft light made her momentarily lose herself.
A freshly cooked soup sits on the table, its white steam rising with the bubbles, releasing a delightful aroma.
Is it an illusion?
"Carole!"
In the kitchen, Mu Feng, hearing the door open, put down his ladle and hurriedly peeked out. He saw Caroline standing there, soaking wet, her eyes red and slightly tear-stained.
Mu Feng carefully cradled Carolie, who seemed as if she might break at the slightest touch, in his arms. Without asking any questions, he gently patted her back and softly comforted her.
"It's alright, Caroline."
"We're home."
Suddenly, Caroline, who had been silent in his arms, burst into tears. For the first time, the usually strong and optimistic little girl vented her grievances without any restraint. Her breathless sobs made Mu Feng's heart ache.
"I'm sorry... Waaah... I'm so sorry..."
Mu Feng knew that Caroline was now prepared to sacrifice herself to prove her innocence.
He simply couldn't imagine how desperate and painful it must have been for Carolie, who felt pain even from being hit by stones, to endure the agony of being burned alive...
After a long time, until Caroline in her arms was exhausted from crying, her sobs gradually subsided.
Carolie raised her little head, her teary eyes fixed on Mu Feng, trying hard to say something, but Mu Feng gently rubbed her forehead, interrupting her.
"Eat first."
Caroline's tears flowed uncontrollably once again. Mu Feng carried the little one back to the dining table, and tenderly handed Caroline a spoon full of hot soup to her lips, watching her gently drink the soup in one gulp.
The scalding hot soup slid into my stomach, and it felt as if the chill in my body immediately dissipated.
Caroline nestled softly in Mu Feng's arms, burying her face deeply in his embrace, feeling the warmth completely enveloping her, yet a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
The coffee shop was completely destroyed, and yet Brother Mufeng still had to take care of me...
perhaps,
It would be better for everyone if I just disappeared like this...
But... but... I'm so unwilling to accept this...
Caroline hugged Mu Feng tightly, as if she wanted to squeeze her small body completely into his arms. She looked up, her face revealing the sweetest smile.
Thank you, Brother Mufeng.
If this is the last day of my life
Caroline is very happy.
Mu Feng pinched Caroline's cheek, pretending not to notice the little girl's complicated look, and naturally got up and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes.
"Ugh...so sleepy..."
Perhaps it was the recent ordeal that brought on an overwhelming sense of weariness. Caroline tried hard to stay awake, but she still closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
In the kitchen, Mu Feng sighed and discreetly slipped the sleeping pills into his pocket.
In order to prevent the stubborn little guy from doing something foolish, he had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure.
He carefully lifted Caroline onto the bed and gently pulled the blanket up for her. Mu Feng gazed at Caroline's peaceful sleeping face for a long time before letting out another deep sigh.
When he looked up again, Mu Feng's eyes were already flashing with a raging fire, which was unusually bright in the dark room.
"Carole, you should get some rest."
"Wait until you wake up,"
"It will all end."
Finally, gently brushing the stray strands of hair from the little one's face, Mu Feng smiled and whispered.
Immediately, Mu Feng stood up abruptly. When he turned his head, the gentle smile on the boy's face had vanished, replaced by a murderous expression.
"Click."
The door closed gently, and Mu Feng's figure disappeared into the boundless darkness.
