The ward has always been a very quiet place. The air is filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. It seems that everyone has fallen into a deep sleep. There is no sound in the quiet corridor.
Neat beds are lined up in a row. The medical department is fundamentally different from hospitals outside. There are more places to store corpses than beds, and almost no patients would want to stay here.
Even though it was almost late at night, Barras, who had slept enough on the operating table, was still staring blankly at the white ceiling with his big eyes wide open. His body was wrapped, and a special therapeutic agent was flowing in the syringe. .
"Do not you go to sleep?"
Barras turned his head, looked at the figure standing by the window, and asked helplessly.
"Not sleepy yet."
Even though there was nothing to see outside the window, he still maintained the same posture as an hour ago.
"If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Barras couldn't sleep anyway. He felt very at ease with his life after being freed from the witch's surveillance. He could even eat an extra bowl of rice.
"She has always had the arrogance to control everything, including pretending to be someone else to attack me..."
Lowering his head and looking at the almost invisible mark on his hand, Jiang Chenchuan gradually had some new ideas.
In this game, they had always been in a passive state. Only Barras' ruthlessness was a sudden accident.
And they just need such an accident...
"Evel, you are really hard to find."
Footsteps sounded, and Barras looked at the door in surprise. Ethan walked in with an ordinary-looking box.
"You...already have a plan?"
Jiang Chenchuan moved faster than he expected. Ethan smiled confidently and placed the box on the empty hospital bed next to Barras.
When the Finger of Chaos reappeared, the relaxing atmosphere just now disappeared. It was like a weird nightmare that appeared in his body at some point and could not be shaken off.
"You should be able to detect the connection between this finger and the witch."
It was such a matter of course that Barras couldn't help but sit up. Even though this movement caused pain in his wound, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"What do you want to do?"
Barras couldn't help but ask.
"It's very simple, we have to...find the witch."
Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan looked at each other, and Ethan nodded. He took out something from his pocket and began to draw on the ground. Barras felt that his breathing began to become heavier. He knew that Jiang Chenchuan was not No kidding.
Although he hates that woman, when they actually face each other, he can still feel the sense of oppression. It is inevitable to get rid of control, but to truly be her enemy, Barras may have to think twice.
However, Jiang Chenchuan would not give him a chance to think about it, and the only sound in the ward was the sound of Ethan drawing on the floor.
He took out the metal compass he had prepared for tracking, and his tense body reflected his nervousness.
"Would you like to..."
"Do not talk."
Jiang Chenchuan said in a low voice.
The alchemy circle was slowly activated, and Baras couldn't help but panic when he saw the light coming out. However, he quickly calmed down, thinking that it would be more effective to strike first in a battle that he could not avoid anyway.
"The museum is safe. After I leave, you will be in a state of paralysis. Just wait until I come back."
Jiang Chenchuan did not forget to explain to Barras that it was obvious that he was not intended to be taken with him in this operation.
Taking a heavy breath, Ethan closed the box with a snap and watched the wildly rotating needle on the compass gradually slow down.
"Evel, it worked. You guessed it right. This finger is indeed not a relic, but a part of the witch's body."
Ethan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and the smile on his face made people feel a little scared. He didn't look like an ordinary mechanic at all, but rather like a devil who had succeeded in his scheming.
"action!"
They walked into the dark night, and no one knew what kind of danger would be waiting for them on the road ahead. Their fingers seemed to want to convey some kind of message, but there was always something blocking it, probably someone in the museum. Relics are working.
Following the guidance of the compass, the two left the museum together. They encountered unfamiliar scenery along the way, with only the World Tree still emitting unparalleled light.
"Why...here."
It was only when I got off the bus that I realized that the familiar Duanting Mansion was in front of me.
"If the compass hadn't pointed us the wrong way..."
In the dark night, Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan walked side by side. Their target was the witch, not the witch sect.
I just don’t know what the witch is doing here at such a late hour.
"Meow~"
In the grass, there was a subtle cat meow. They stopped and looked towards the place where the noise came from. They saw there seemed to be a black figure squatting on the ground.
He stopped what he was doing when he heard the noise. The black cat was enjoying his meal when the woman in front of him stopped moving and looked up in confusion.
The red fingertips crushed the biscuit in his hand with a little force, making a rustling sound.
"I hate being interrupted."
Seeing the crouching black figure in front of him slowly getting up, his whole body became nervous, and even his nerves became sharp, like a disturbed beast, and even the fingertips holding the cane turned slightly white with force.
The witch patted the biscuit crumbs scattered on her body. She turned around and seemed a little surprised when she saw Tang Jue appearing behind the two people.
"I didn't expect you to find me."
The witch's voice was calm, and there was no hint of emotion.
"How do you know I'm here, mark... It shouldn't be... then what could it be?"
She raised her head slightly, revealing her bright red lips under her hood. With her perfect jawline, you could tell what a stunning face she had.
Neither of them answered her question, they were just wary of each other. The witch tilted her head, as if she couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It just saves me the trouble of looking for you."
The witch paused for a moment and continued. She grinned and showed a slight smile.
It seemed that something was about to come. Jiang Chenchuan didn't want to get too involved with her anymore. He just spotted an excellent opportunity to attack. The pure silver sword edge shined in the darkness, like a meteor across the sky, towards the witch. Stabbed it.
coming.
"Careful, Evel!"
Following Ethan's roar, the witch took a step back slightly, and a ferocious black shadow jumped out of the darkness and came towards Jiang Chenchuan.
It was a battle that could not be avoided. The sword blade cut a silver streak in the night sky, splitting open the illusory enemy.
"Want to kill me? Then try it."
