[28] Boundary Stone
"Pu, pu..."
Her tears flowed out of her unsightly pupils like broken beads, hitting her skirt and hitting the ground.
This is the first time I saw Alice crying.
I've never seen any specific expression of Alice.
She always looked like a doll, looking ahead with no happy expression, no angry expression, and no sad expression.
When you are shy, you will blush and the light in your eyes will light up slightly.
When you are lost, you will bow your head and the light in your eyes will dim slightly.
That's all.
Now, after seeing the blond young woman wearing a black and white long skirt, holding a golden compass, lying in the coffin, she cried for no reason.
"Alice...what's wrong with you?"
I lowered my head slightly, held her trembling shoulders, squatted down and looked nervously at her eyes that kept crying.
"Her soul is lost...her soul is lost..."
Alice was still crying, crying without expression, muttering to herself like she was possessed by a psychic medium.
"That's how this child is. He keeps crying and still won't let us do business."
"Ah~ Strange child, don't come here if you're afraid..."
Alice muttered to herself blankly while crying like this. I looked around and everyone around me started to chatter and discuss with us. Because she attracted the attention of most people in the store, the clerk and a weird old man were also a little impatient.
"Feel sorry....."
I lowered my head slightly and waved my hand at them.
"Alice, let's go with your brother first."
I lowered my head and said to Alice, then pulled her little hand and took her out of the place.
"Her soul is lost...her soul is lost..."
She ran out of the shop with her hand and ran across the street. She still trembled with her delicate body, muttering to herself in such a low voice as if she was frightened...
.........
Ten minutes later, I found a cafe, booked a private room, and settled down with Alice.
The private room closed the door and we sat on the sofa, with a table separated by a table, and two glasses of juice were placed on it.
“……”
Alice finally stopped crying, with two clear tears hanging on her little face, although her body seemed to be frightened and trembled from time to time.
We were slightly silent for a while.
"Can you tell my brother, what's wrong with Alice?"
I put my hands on my legs and looked at Alice in a deep voice and asked to her.
“……”
She was silent for a moment.
I waited for her to tell me the answer.
——"Brother God, Alice doesn't know what happened..."
Alice finally said this to me.
"Uh... don't know?"
I was slightly stunned, but I didn't expect Alice to say this.
"After seeing the doll... Alice instinctively felt scared... In an instant, there seemed to be many scenes in her mind... and she heard many strange sounds..."
Alice said this to me, and her delicate body trembled again, her little face turned completely pale.
“What picture?”
I looked at her seriously and asked.
Although I know that asking her this is cruel, I can't help her if I don't know the situation.
"Many children run in a big cage like rabbits... and then there are witches wearing masks and black and white long skirts who are punishing them with various punishments... They are screaming in pain, crying and conveying their despair. Their souls are floating in the sky, and the huge golden compass is spinning in the sky, constantly shattering their souls and devouring them together with their despair..."
Alice, in a crying voice, recited these words like spells and chanted to me in a trembling voice blankly and unconsciously.
“……”
I was stunned.
Somehow, I always feel like I want to believe her.
What I said was strange, but it didn't look like a secondary disease or fantasy at all.
It seems like what she is saying is something that has actually happened.
"Okay, I understand. It's good that Alice doesn't think about these things."
I thought for a moment myself, reached out and touched Alice's head, stared at her crystal blue eyes and said.
"Um......"
Alice looked at my pupils, and tears gradually faded away, and stability gradually replaced fear.
"Alice is going to that store, what else do you want to buy? This private room is very safe. You can sleep here for a while. My brother will help you buy it."
After I settled down on Alice, I asked her.
Now, it seems that she can never go to that store again. If she goes there again, she may lose control. I will go and buy the things for her.
"Yeah... OK, thank you brother."
Alice's face was still a little pale. She nodded and took out a small notebook and handed it to me.
"This...Alice wants to buy one..."
Alice turned the book to a page and showed it to me. There were two crystal stones painted on it. The two crystal stones seemed to be separated and looked very beautiful in shape.
"This is?"
I asked Alice with great interest.
"This is the realm line stone. Alice wants to buy it as a talisman for her brother and Alice. It is a very small piece, and the brother can put it in his wallet..."
She lowered her head, blushed, looked up at me with her crystal blue eyes, and said shyly.
amulet?
Is it for me? I and her one by one?
Uh... This is a bit like a token of love, and it's a bit shy.
But it doesn't matter.
Alice thought about me so much that she came to Old Town Street not far away to buy me this amulet with her.
How could I not accept her?
"Okay, I get it, I'll buy it for you."
I nodded, picked up Alice's small notebook and put it in my pocket, promised Alice, and then said that, and pushed open the door of the private room.
"Alice... sleep here for a while, don't run around, Brother Shen will come back later and have supper here with you."
I held her notebook in my pocket with one hand and told her this.
"Um....."
Alice obediently agreed to my order, nodded, and lay obediently on the sofa.
Then, I smiled at her and walked out of the private room in the cafe.
