Several days have passed since the journey to another world in the tree of life world ended.
When Wu Ming returned to the real world, he even felt like he was in another world.
It's like several months have passed in the real world, and now it's time to put on autumn clothes and long trousers and get ready for winter. No matter how you think about it, it feels awkward.
After solving the incident, when she briefly reported the situation to the director, she said that this was a normal phenomenon and that he could adjust after a good rest at home. Later, she simply let Wu Ming take a few days off and he would be jet-lagged when he returned from a business trip.
After enjoying a peaceful life for several days, Wu Ming gradually adapted to this sense of dislocation in time and space.
"Then I'll take Elizabeth out." Wu Ming finished the last bite of the pork buns, stood up slowly, and walked out with Elizabeth, who had her mouth full of food and two buns ready to be packed away.
Elizabeth, who was not willing to be dragged away from the dinner table, muttered vaguely: "Well... Brother let me take two more bites... just two bites..."
"You've eaten almost thirty of them. When you came back this morning with these four big bags of buns, the old men and women next door began to wonder if I was harboring some suspicious group at home..."
Wu Ming rolled his eyes and pulled Elizabeth aside. It was not pleasant to be surrounded by several old men and women walking around early in the morning, caring about their lives, their thoughts and their marital status. He was thinking about whether the containment space should be included in his daily life in the future. Giving full play to his role, he said to Elizabeth: "The director just sent a letter saying that the evaluation results of the previous group's Diffusive Millions Elizabeth came out, and today we just happened to handle the things to be dealt with together."
"Huh?" Elizabeth tilted her head cutely, with a confused expression on her face.
Seeing Elizabeth's expression, Wu Ming understood that the former didn't remember anything. This silly girl basically only had three seconds of memory for trivial matters other than eating. It was normal to not remember anything except eating. Occasionally she could speak out. Surprisingly that's a special situation.
While activating the teleportation function of the different world navigation and setting the parameters for automatic teleportation, Wu Ming recalled their experience when they escaped from the Tree of Life a few days ago.
In the end, it was too confusing when escaping from the Tree of Life. He wanted to see people alive, but not only wanted to see the body when dead, but also had to find a necromancer to pull up the humanitarian spirit. Wu Ming took Elizabeth and Zhao Sida who had returned to normal. After recovering Siegfried, who was too old and whose life and death were unknown, he immediately started the jump teleportation and jumped directly to the office of the director of the firm.
At that time, according to Elizabeth, Siegfried's vitality was very weak and he could die at any time. The director also said that the depletion of vitality could not be repaired by applying two holy lights on the body, but required comprehensive treatment and repair. Only then could they save their lives, so in the end Wu Ming and the others treated the dying Siege Fei to the director for treatment with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse. And counting the time, no matter how slow it was, Brother Fei should be out of danger today. It’s due.
In the midst of Wu Ming's random thoughts and memories, the teleportation ended quickly. The dazzling white light and dizziness around him gradually faded away, and Wu Ming once again came to the office of his immediate boss.
The Director's state today is completely different from how she usually does when Wu Ming visits. Normally she would either lean on a chair with her legs on the table, or stand with one foot on the stool and one foot on the table. But today The director looked extremely serious and serious. She was sitting at the table wearing glasses and resting her arms on the table. Her palms were folded together to cover her nose and mouth. She looked like she was thinking about something.
When Wu Ming's figure turned from virtual to real and entered the office, she glanced lightly and said, "Here you are?"
"How is Brother Fei?" Seeing the director's uncharacteristic appearance, Wu Ming's heart tightened and the first thing he did after stepping out of the teleportation curtain was to care about Siegfried's current situation.
The director's eyes dimmed when he heard Wu Ming's question, and the bad premonition in the former's heart became even stronger. Then he heard her sigh deeply and say: "It's a pity that you are here too late..."
Wu Ming's heart suddenly became cold. The reason why he was only half cold was because he knew that the unofficial boss in front of him had great supernatural powers. There might be some way to resurrect the dead or reincarnate from the filthy earth. He was rescued, so he still held on to a glimmer of hope and fantasy. He hoped that the director would take a deep breath before speaking: "Boss, don't scare me. Doesn't our firm claim to have the technology to repair the whole body like a god? If we get reward points The question is, can you just deduct it from my salary..."
"Oh...forget it, you will know when you see it with your own eyes..."
The director seemed unwilling to say anything more. She lightly snapped her fingers, and then a crystal clear transparent container rose from the floor.
The black dragon girl was placed in this square and crystal-like container. Perhaps the cause of death was excessive loss of vitality. Siegfried's final appearance was not good-looking. His hair had fallen out, and his body shape had shrunk a lot compared to his original size. It was impossible to tell that the dehydrated mummy huddled in front of him, only skin and bones, could be the indistinguishable cold figure in Wu Ming's memory. The fat on her body has completely disappeared, her muscles have shrunk terribly, and her skin has lost its elasticity and turned into loose folds hanging on her body.
When Wu Ming saw Siegfried's body with his own eyes, the other half of Wu Ming was also heartbroken.
Just looking at this withered, shrunken old body, Wu Ming could imagine what kind of battle she had gone through.
Wu Ming once said that he would definitely come back to save her, and asked Siegfried to hold on and not die before they came back.
There is no doubt that she did. When Siegfried was found, she was in a state where she could die at any time, but she still managed to survive until Wu Ming and others arrived.
However, Wu Ming still failed to let Siegfried survive.
He is now even thinking that if he had escaped from the spiritual world faster, or if his mental resistance had been stronger and he could ignore those mental attacks, would the result have been like this?
"This bag of biscuits is not sweet at all..." A familiar voice came from outside the door. Wu Ming turned his head following the sound and saw Siege Fei walking into the office holding a bag of biscuits and met his eyes.
At this moment, time seemed to have frozen, and the two of them looked at each other.
Looking at the familiar head-mounted mask, looking at the familiar black robe and cloak, looking at the familiar...
etc? Aren’t people dead?
Wu Ming was dumbfounded.
I don't know why, but the Siegfried opposite seemed to be dumbfounded, and the bag of biscuits in his hand fell to the ground.
The whole office fell into a state of silence.
After a short and strange silence, the director broke the silence with regret: "By the time you bring Siegfried here, she will have almost recovered. This is the skin she shed after she was reborn."
"It's such a shame that the disease didn't defeat her."
No matter what, the bastard director was still gasping for air when he spoke!
Feeling as if he had been fooled, Wu Ming was suddenly filled with anger and hatred. Just when he was about to shout and hurt someone, the director took out a handful from the bottom of the table that was still dripping with blood. He put the mace on his shoulder, and then glanced at him provocatively. His eyes and mannerisms were full of the threat of 'try it or you'll die', which directly took away the evil courage that Wu Ming had just raised. Startled back.
"If I hadn't been able to beat you, if I hadn't been able to beat you..." Wu Ming pointed at Siegfried who picked up the bag of biscuits and continued to eat. He gritted his teeth and glared at the director and said, "Besides, why is Brother Fei not dead?" You have to speak in such a regretful tone!"
"In order to prove that I can save even the dead, this will show that I have great powers!" The director threw the mace aside and confidently puffed out his plump chest: "But I haven't even started yet. The one you sent has already recovered and is reborn, and has even shed his skin! Where do you want me, the omnipotent director of the firm, to put my face!"
"Is your face more important? Can your face be roasted and eaten?!"
"What are they arguing about, Elizabeth?"
"Hmmmm... I don't know, I'm probably talking about how to stew noodles to save face... Mmmmm..."
