LRAB Chapter 553 Lenore
Chapter 553 Lenore
"Eh?"
Chang Ming's words made Lenore stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of incomprehension in her big black eyes.
"Play... with me? Are you serious? Are you really going to play with me?"
"Hmm... Even though you say you are good wizards... But you don't dress like wizards...?"
Linore looked at Chang Ming with some confusion. In her mind, whether a wizard is a good wizard or a bad wizard, they should all wear a black uniform.
But these three people in front of me... don't look like wizards, they look a bit suspicious...
However, the big brother in front of him always felt very friendly, just like Brother Carter, and they were also brought here by Brother Carter, so he should be a good person.
"Bad wizards all wear black uniforms, and so do good wizards. We are the exception among the good wizards. In order to distinguish us from the good wizards, we don't wear uniforms~"
Chang Ming continued with a smile.
And this last sentence completely dispelled the last bit of worry in Lenore's heart. What's more, Brother Carter did not stop her, which meant that they were good people!
Thinking of this, Lenore nodded her head quickly.
"Great! Finally someone is playing with me!"
She ran quickly, as if to welcome their arrival, and as if she was excited to have a playmate other than Caterpillar.
On the other hand, Ying and Paimon looked at Chang Ming with some surprise, as if... they were shocked by his persuasiveness and his ability to quickly understand the special nouns that Lenore said.
Could it be that the regent of Fontaine also has the job of playing with children? !
Why can he convince others so easily? It was like this in Liyue and it was also like this in Petrich Town!
What is going on with this person?
"We are here to play with you, including the two people next to me. They are also here to play with you~"
Hearing Chang Ming's words, Linore subconsciously shifted her gaze to Ying who was standing next to Chang Ming and Paimon who was floating beside her, as if she was a little curious.
After these words were spoken, Ying and Paimon, who were still in a daze, finally reacted and nodded quickly to Linor.
"Ohhh...that's right! We're here to play with Lenore too!"
Paimon said with a grin, then he touched his chin thoughtfully and continued:
"Um... Lenore, do you want to play hide and seek? Let's play hide and seek!"
"Eh? Hide and seek, ok!"
"Then let's get started! Ying, you have to find us carefully~"
"Please, big sister!"
After saying that, Paimon quickly took Lenore away, leaving Ying standing there with a helpless look on her face.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of Caterpillar's mouth slightly raised, and then he said softly:
"Lenore hasn't been this happy for a long time. In this place...there are no children of her age, which makes her childhood less fun."
"Thank you for playing with her."
Caterpillar thanked him sincerely.
"To make her feel that the world above water is better than the underwater world... the best way is to build a good relationship first, and then slowly seduce her."
"Children of this age are very curious. If nothing goes wrong...it should be fine in two days."
Chang Ming said with a smile.
"...maybe a little difficult."
Without waiting for Ying to ask further questions, Caterpillar continued to speak:
"Linol is somewhat resistant to the world above the water, because in her world, her mother went to the world above the water and never came back."
"But what happened was... her mother fell seriously ill, and the head nurse at Mellow Petersburg was helpless, and then... she passed away from the illness."
"At that time, Lenore could not understand the concept of "death". She only knew that her mother was taken to the world above the water by the "witches" and never came back."
“…I understand.”
Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then said softly:
"She is now somewhat afraid of the world above ground. She is afraid that she will never come back like her mother, so..."
As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on Caterpillar, and then said softly:
"I'll need your help next, Caterpillar."
"In Lenore's world, you are now the closest person to her. As long as you encourage her to step above the water... I believe this process will only be faster, not slower."
Hearing Chang Ming's words, Caterpila nodded silently, then looked at the rust-red ceiling thoughtfully, as if waiting for something.
......
Ye Zhi looked at the screen in front of him and felt... a little heavy for a moment.
disease.
This is a very taboo word for everyone, but it actually happens to everyone.
Lenore's mother died of illness, which also made her have a natural fear of the world above the water.
It's actually very simple to break the spell - just tell Lenore that her mother is dead.
But this would also hurt her, even more than forcibly bringing her to the ground.
"This is really...difficult..."
Ye Zhi slowly leaned back in his chair, a slightly conflicted look on his face.
"Only time can dissolve the medicine of life. We can only wait for Lenore to grow up slowly, and as she grows up, she will slowly understand the concept of death and accept the concept of her mother's passing."
"This is the only way to be sure..."
She sighed slowly, then turned her head to look at the flashing neon lights outside the window, with a myriad of emotions flashing through her mind.
Although she really wanted to make a joke at this time, such as teasing Chang Ming that he was the Fontaine Succubus - no matter how he spoke, people would be convinced.
But she can't.
Lenore, a sunny and cheerful little girl, temporarily escaped the teasing and torture of fate because of her ignorance of the world.
But fate is fate after all. Those teasing and torture will eventually find her one day in the future and plunge her into deep pain.
Maybe...what she needs is not only the courage to step out of the water, but also the ability to face the future.
"We can only hope that Chang Ming and the newly built orphanage will slowly heal her in the future."
At this point, Ye Zhi frowned suddenly, and then suddenly remembered the name Chang Ming gave to the orphanage - "Daffodil Cross Courtyard".
"Narcissus Cross Court...Narcissus Cross Society...Is there any connection between the two?"
"Wait, even if there is no connection, why would Chang Ming name the orphanage after a secret society that threatens Fontaine's existence?!"
"Could it be that... Narcissus Cross Court is not actually a terrorist organization, but an organization... "planning to save Fontaine"? !"
