Apocalypse After

Three Categories

Three days later.

Today the Vermillion Shop again received a very special guest. Both guests have visited the store. Those two are Annie Rosewald and her servant ... Of May.

“Good day, Mr. Faust. Did my arrival bother you?” annie asked with a friendly smile on her face.

Seeing the two people at the door, the corner of Alexander's lips twitched. He took a deep breath, even directly complaining inwardly.

‘Isn't that clear? Why are you still asking? Nah! Why are you still coming here?’

Despite grumbling in his heart, Alexander still had a friendly smile on his face. He then replied politely, “Of course not. Please come in, we can talk inside.”

“Then I accept your offer, Mr. Faust.”

After that, they went to the living room.

Nene immediately served tea and some treats to the guests, then walked out of the room not wanting to interfere with their conversation. More precisely afraid of disturbing and even making a gap for his master.

“Please drink,” Alexander said lightly.

Annie nodded with a polite smile on her face. He then drank the tea that had been served. The way to drink looks so natural, it does not even look suspicious whether Alexander gave poison or not in the drink.

“It's nice to visit you, Mr. Faust. However, it seems that you have no intention of visiting me. Have you forgotten your promise to help me?” annie asked without changing the smile on her face.

“...”

Alexander was silent for a moment. At that moment, he felt somewhat annoyed. Moreover, now he also understood what it was like to deal with such an annoying con man who had always been hiding behind his mask. Yes ... may be a feeling felt by many previous opponents.

“Not that I don't want to visit. It's just that I got the news that the castle was closed and didn't receive any guests, which is why I chose not to go see you. Not because it does not want to, but because it cannot,” reply Alexander.

“But you never tried to visit right?” The smile on Annie's face grew brighter.

“It ..” Alexander frowned.

“So right. You did not come to visit the castle at all,” interrupted Annie.

“...” Alexander remained silent.

“You really disappointed me, Mr. Faust,” Annie said with a sad look on her face.

After saying that, Annie looked at Alexander. Looking at the man who was still putting on a gentle smile as usual, he nodded lightly. Stop pretending to be sad, the woman put on a friendly smile like before.

“We're both similar, Mr. Faust. Because it has similarities, I hope we can both get along,” said Annie.

“Fins?” Alexander tilted his head. Put a confused expression on his face.

“See? We're really very similar. Always wear different masks in front of different people. We forget who we really are. Aren't we very similar?” annie said softly, completely incompatible with the words she spoke.

“So so.” Annie nodded lightly.

“Nona Annie ..” call Alexander while staring right into the woman's eyes. “What do you need from me?”

“I just came to make sure. In my mind, there are three categories of beings that are all around me. Maybe you unconsciously do the same with me.

First of course friends, second is the enemy, and last is the unnoticed (neglected). At first, I thought that you wouldn't come into contact with me, so it was in the number three category. It's just that you're too bright and can't just be ignored. You will definitely show up in my life.

That's why I'm really curious. Is that a friend? Or maybe enemies?”

The gentle smile on Annie's face disappeared. The originally bright red eyes looked dim and gloomy. Unlike the figure of an angel in everyone's mind. In Alexander's eyes, now the woman looked like a pale puppet without the slightest hint of emotion.

A pair of red eyes stared straight into Alexander's eyes. Right then and there, a woman's voice that was cold, flat, and contained no sense of being heard.

“Actually is in which category ... V?”

Seeing the total change in Annie's face, Alexander's pupils shrank. At that moment he immediately understood the sentence that his grandfather had said. The brighter the light, the more dense the shadow.

If the Annie Rosewald people knew before was akin to a holy angel, it spread light and kindness wherever it went. So what appeared in front of Alexander now was .. the devil.

Alexander took a deep breath. The man then looked right into Annie's eyes and then replied.

“It depends on yourself ... Annie Rosewald.”

Meanwhile, somewhere else.

Claude walked out of District 4, heading towards District 3. In contrast to his usual energetic appearance, the man's expression looked slightly gloomy. Not only that, but he also looked thinner compared to before.

“Octavius .. he really is not a good person,” murmured Claude with a grim face.

In this time, Claude had seen Octavius' intentions clearly. Of course, as an intelligent person, Melissa knew it too. But now they were in the tiger's den, so Melissa did not do the rejection directly. Instead, he made a subtle rejection and tried to distance himself from the person.

Even so, Claude knew that Octavius did not give up at all. That guy seems to be getting more persistent. Even he (Claude) knows that the man is definitely planning something bad, so wants to be prepared and prevent something from happening.

Now Claude started the daily routine just like before. He will come and tour the District 3 area. The reason was still the same, to find a figure that could help him ... Annie Roseward.

To deal with Octavius and the Rubruzen Family behind him, Claude could only figure out how to contact the superior Rosewald Family. Not only to take care of the things concerned with Shelter 11, but also to help Melissa get out of trouble.

Claude walked over with a lethargic expression. At that moment, he crossed paths with two cloaked figures. Although such looks were indeed common, but he seemed to see something quite different and a strange feeling as he passed through the two. The man immediately turned around and said out loud.

“Please wait a minute!”
