Because the tram was out of service, Jiang Chenchuan had no choice but to walk home. When he returned to No. 121 Bullard Street, the sky was already much darker. When he looked up from the balcony, he saw that the house was completely dark. Locklan had not returned yet.
There were not many people on the street. It had rained a few days ago, causing sewage and some domestic garbage to accumulate on the road without cleaning it. Even the air was damp. People wearing gray or dark clothes passed by Tachuan.
"jingle--"
Someone opened the door of the street shop, and the wind chimes on the door made a clear clanging sound. They walked under the balcony of their home, and an inconspicuous black shadow flashed across the dim room upstairs.
When Jiang Chenchuan went upstairs, someone had returned to the house next door, and warm yellow light leaked through the crack in the door. He remembered that he had not seen this elusive roommate for a long time. Not many people from Xia Jing worked in Polnia, so Everyone in Summerland is easily noticed.
Thanks to his rebirth, Jiang Chenchuan, using his identity as Ivel, was able to live so comfortably in Polnia, and most of the people around him were friendly to him.
After opening the door and turning on the lamp on the wall, which illuminated the originally dark room, Jiang Chenchuan realized something was wrong with just a simple glance.
He closed the door gently, took the skull cane that was placed against the wall into his hand again, moved the tablecloth to the right direction, and then placed the books on the bookshelf in the correct position, keeping them behind his desk. The instrument had been moved, and because it had not been moved for too long, a thin layer of dust had accumulated, which obviously did not match the traces.
Although the entire room has been restored with great efforts, it can basically be seen that a stranger came in and looked through it.
"Stealing? Or...are you looking for something?"
Jiang Chenchuan murmured to himself.
He opened the drawer and found that the book with special powers had not been taken away, and he had always carried the relic pocket watch with him. Except for some books, there was nothing worth stealing in this house.
After checking around carefully, he found that nothing was missing from the house. The sky outside the window slowly dimmed. Jiang Chenchuan then sat back on his chair. The light in this position was divided into two parts, and the light above the neck did not enter. In the darkness, only his white shirt and wrinkled collar could be seen.
After resting for a while, I turned on the desk lamp in front of me, took out my notebook and started recording:
[Have strangers been at home? 】
After waiting for a while, the writing will slowly disappear, and then the answer given by the notebook will appear:
【yes】
Jiang Chenchuan's guess was correct. Sure enough, someone sneaked in while they were all going out.
After understanding this, I recorded it according to my daily habits:
[Mission: Retrieve the lost relics. 】
[Mission: Find Nika. 】
Connect the two paragraphs into a line and add a sentence in the middle: [Burned insect eggs (artificial relics)]
It also reads below:
[Important: Find out the clues about "Original Sin". 】——[Investigation: Decavo Family Pollution Incident]
[Investigation: Find the intruder and figure out his purpose. 】
The quill hung on the paper and remained still for a while before adding a line:
[Lochran: Lena’s tracking request. 】
Put down the quill after finishing writing. The amount of information to be processed this time is a bit large, and the notebook may not be able to give the answer so quickly.
When he thought of this, Jiang Chenchuan packed up his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Unexpectedly, the water stopped halfway. Looking at the steaming mirror, Jiang Chenchuan also felt helpless, but so did the water and power outages. It's a common thing, not surprising.
According to the words of those nobles, in England, only the World Tree energy supply will not be cut off. Everything else is garbage. Steam, electricity, and kerosene are all foam and may disappear at any time.
To master energy is to master the lifeblood.
This is what the energy faction stands for.
When he opened the bathroom door, the room was dark. Locklan hadn't come back yet, so he had to find the switch in the dark, press it once or twice, and the room lit up again.
After cleaning himself up, Jiang Chenchuan returned to the table, picked up his notebook and took a look.
But to his surprise, unlike before, the writings on the notebook did not disappear this time, and he did not receive the answer he expected.
There is an extra line on the notebook, connecting Lochran's commission with the two lines of tasks above. And above the task about "Original Sin", there is an extra inverted triangle with an eye drawn inside. pattern.
Faintly feeling induced, Jiang Chenchuan reached out and touched the eye.
His eyes suddenly darkened, and then he saw that in the darkness, the eyes were slowly opening, and far away, there was a light shining, which is what every Bornian is most familiar with - The World Tree, and something seems to exist deeper in the depths...
The World Tree was glowing with light, and when he wanted to explore further, he felt a sudden strange pain in his body, and his internal organs seemed to be twisted together. He hurriedly let go, and he instantly felt that he had returned to reality. Something wet flowed down, and when he raised his hand to touch it, he saw that blood was flowing from his nose.
He could feel that he had just touched something deeper and higher, and his heart almost stopped beating. It was even difficult to describe that feeling in words.
It was like an ideology that did not exist in his previous world. It seemed to be able to ignore all rules and possess unimaginable power.
"what is that?"
Jiang Chenchuan was a little unbelievable. When he looked at the notebook again, there was no writing on it, it was completely blank, and it could not be used temporarily.
Ever since he learned about the existence of man-made relics in this world, Jiang Chenchuan began to wonder whether Ivel was also using man-made relics to investigate cases. Now it seems that this notebook must be authentic.
However, according to the reminder just now, his top priority now should be Rena's commission, her, the relics and the search for Nika. If there is a relationship between these three, then all the problems will point to... …
track?
If you follow Lena...
What about Nika?
Jiang Chenchuan suddenly thought that Lochlan was following Lena to protect him, but if his enemy was Nika, and Nika had [criminal] relics on her body, if there was a conflict between the two...
"Oops!"
Jiang Chenchuan was shocked. He quickly put the notebook in its place, found a shirt to wear in the random wardrobe, grabbed the windbreaker and walking stick hanging on the hanger, and hurried out.
"Mr. Ewell..."
Halfway down the stairs, I heard a cold, emotionless female voice coming from behind.
Turning around, he saw his roommate whom he hadn't seen for a long time, standing on the stairs, looking down at him.
