After burying Schiopa, they started their journey back to Polnia. It happened to be a sunny day, and the sun shone on them, as if guiding the way forward.
They returned to the sick village and walked around the ruins, but could not find any trace of Chu Dong. They comforted themselves that she was just missing and did not die in this desolate place.
I passed some other cities on the way, and occasionally I could hear some news about Ronalk City, such as the re-opening of the blockade, etc. These were just rumors and speculations.
No one cares about what Ronark City has experienced during the period of closure. It seems that all the misfortunes disappeared by themselves in just a blink of an eye.
All that was left was to have fun after dinner. Of course, Jiang Chenchuan and the others only stayed briefly. After purchasing the corresponding supplies, they went back to the hotel to sleep.
I finally encountered a normal town, where the days without weird things seemed leisurely and comfortable.
Jiang Chenchuan is also planning to find a quieter place to retire in the future. After all, he has been fighting and fighting pollution sources all his life, and the place with the museum is too dangerous, and he may be called back at any time. Work.
This world is like this, full of countless anomalies, and some are inexplicably interesting.
Ignorance has its own way of living, and awakening has its own vision. Lying on the bed, Jiang Chenchuan suddenly began to miss Lockran's dinner and the half-dead detective agency for some reason.
It was only later that he learned that Lochlen was a rich second generation. Otherwise, he would not go to work every day and would not receive any work, but he could still buy a three or four apartment in Polnia.
Stations in other places were not as noisy as Polnia. They also traveled to several cities before they had a train to Polnia. For several days in a row, they encountered clear skies. The haze left behind by the city.
The golden sunshine dotted the platform with only a few people. Yulia hugged the cat and slowly made love on the bench. The two recycling boxes were kept by Jiang Chenchuan and Ethan. In order to prevent accidents, Ethan also specially added Two layers of magic circle insurance.
He really didn't want to let that dangerous mermaid out again. Jiang Chenchuan looked across the platform and saw a familiar figure appear, but it only flashed past.
Disturbed by the oncoming horn again, before Jiang Chenchuan had time to find out who it was, Ethan reminded him that he should get in the car.
I looked at my watch and saw that none of the relics I brought this time were of much use. I called Bellito who was playing by himself on the side. He was still big-hearted. It didn’t take long to learn from Schioppa and Chudong’s death. Feel relieved.
Of course, at his age, he may not have a deep understanding of "death" and he does things based on his mood.
"I hope this cooperation will go smoothly."
The hands shook politely, and the conversation of strangers around them could be heard.
Jiang Chenchuan accidentally glanced at him. He seemed to be a man with a successful career. He was well-dressed and upright. He had his luggage at his feet and was saying goodbye to another man who looked like a businessman.
There was nothing noteworthy about this, but after he turned around, he saw Bellito standing next to Jiang Chenchuan. His eyes darkened and he looked up at Jiang Chenchuan's side face with an inquiring expression.
"I'm sorry, sir..."
He suddenly reached out and greeted Jiang Chenchuan warmly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chenchuan was confused.
Hearing the noise, Ethan and Yulia, who were about to get in the car, also turned around.
"Do we...know each other? Sir, you look a lot like a good friend of mine whom I haven't seen for many years."
The man showed a sincere smile. He seemed to know that he was disturbing the order of getting on the bus, and he even took the initiative to help Jiang Chenchuan and the others get on the bus first.
Fortunately, there were not many people at this stop, so we didn’t experience crowds, and the seats on the bus were also very empty.
"do not know."
Jiang Chenchuan replied calmly.
"I'm really sorry, sir, I got the wrong person."
The man took off his hat and politely expressed his apology.
meaning.
The surging light gradually dissipated, and everything returned to calm. Ethan blinked, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he realized that the person who came was Jiang Chenchuan.
"How are you?"
Jiang Chenchuan expressed concern.
"It's okay, Ivel. The formation is successful. As long as the infected set foot in the royal city, they will never be able to leave again."
Ethan nodded in response.
The prison has been set up for the infected. Next, it is the home court of the survivors. After completing this last step of the task, the whole person suddenly relaxes.
After relaxing, I felt exhausted, and my whole body was sore and weak. The planning and fighting for these few days had really consumed too much energy.
Looking up, it was a clear blue sky, extremely clear, and the sun was warm, and the light was shining like gold powder.
"Evel, should we go home?"
Unconsciously, Ethan blurted out that it took him so long to come out because he missed the college's laboratory and the city that was always foggy.
At least……
It was a living existence, not as lifeless as Ronalk City.
Of course, what makes him happiest is that the recycling mission was successfully completed, and there were two evil sequences.
No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a great achievement. Perhaps, this is the meaning of his actions with Jiang Chenchuan, and he also has a question mark in his heart about Jiang Chenchuan's strangeness.
He is a genius alchemist from the Atlas Alchemy Institute, a new generation of mechanical researchers, and there is no problem that he cannot overcome.
We have to report Jiang Chenchuan's situation in Ronark City to Professor Erwin.
Ethan thought so.
"Yes, it's time to go home, but... we have to wait..."
Jiang Chenchuan replied.
"What are you waiting for?"
Ethan asked in confusion.
"I want to see what the survivors can do."
Hearing Jiang Chenchuan say this, Ethan was silent for a long time.
Perhaps in his mind, it was enough to reach this point. The negotiations and strategies were given by Jiang Chenchuan, and the formations and traps were arranged by himself.
What is at stake is the future of their home and city, and the survivors have no reason not to do it.
"Aren't all the conjurers dead... Anyway, as long as it is not damaged, this magic circle should be able to hold on until those infected succumb to the curse normally, completely separating the survivors from the infected."
"Just like I agreed with them before..."
Jiang Chenchuan said softly.
Although this was the truth, he still felt a little uneasy. The citizens of Ronark City had lived in fear for too long, and they didn't know if they still had the courage to resist.
"You should have done enough, Yvel."
Ethan patted Jiang Chenchuan's shoulder and turned around to go back the way he came. He had done what he had to do and left the rest to fate.
This statement sounded a bit awkward no matter how it came out of Ethan's mouth. If he really encountered a fateful disaster, he would probably be the first one to jump up and resist.
"Don't think so much Evel, I think Yulia has already woken up, and you can still have breakfast if you rush back now."
Ethan turned around and greeted.
"knew."
In any case, this journey is not a happy one, there is pain, sadness, betrayal, and dead partners.
Some have changed and some will remain the same.
No matter which street you walk on, you can see the corpses of infected people everywhere. Some died naturally because they could not withstand the power of the curse, some were killed in battle, or died for a long time due to some unknown reasons.
The various miserable conditions of the corpses all show the current situation of Ronark City.
"Evel."
Ethan suddenly spoke up.
"What?"
"Throughout this journey, I have been thinking about whether everything would be different if there were no so-called relics, no alchemy, and this awakening power in this world."
"An ordinary world?"
Ivel turned his head to look at him.
"Yes, without the guidance of those evil forces, the Sheriff's Office in Polnia might be out of a job."
Ethan's words surprised Jiang Chenchuan. People like Ethan, who can flip the round table to you as long as you give him a fulcrum, actually think that the evil of human nature is affected by special forces.
"I didn't expect... you would be an idealist."
"People always have something to look forward to."
After all, moving forward requires motivation.
When Jiang Chenchuan arrived home, Yulia had already woken up. She was busy doing something in the kitchen. When she saw Ethan and Jiang Chenchuan coming in from outside, she didn't ask too much.
Everything was shrouded in sunshine, covering the city of Ronark with brilliant golden powder. After breakfast in tacit agreement, they went upstairs and started packing their luggage.
The gloomy world disappeared without knowing when. Even if the survivors succeeded in expelling the infected, it would still be very difficult to restore a city.
Those destroyed buildings, as well as the drainage system that was paralyzed after heavy rains, and corpses piled up all over the city.
After the curse, they still have a series of problems to solve such as survival, supplies, disease, and energy.
"Evel, when do we leave?"
He raised his head and saw Yulia leaning against the door. The childishness and panic at the beginning were no longer visible on her face. Underneath her composure, there was something more that Jiang Chenchuan couldn't see through.
"In the afternoon, we have to bring the news to the survivors in the basement of the villa."
Jiang Chenchuan replied.
In fact, he originally wanted to wait a few more days to see the outcome of the battle between the survivors and the infected, but then he thought about it, they were outsiders, and no matter how much they helped, they would not be able to stay and build Ronark City together.
You still have to seize the beautiful tomorrow by yourself.
"Meow~"
While they were talking, the black cat walked past Yulia's feet and barked at Jiang Chenchuan.
Suddenly he remembered something. Before bidding farewell to Ronark City, Jiang Chenchuan wanted to go somewhere alone to have another look. But for some reason, the otherwise well-behaved black cat started clamoring to talk to Jiang Chenchuan. Together.
Thinking that this cat was not ordinary and had some aura to it, he did not refuse its request.
Thinking that since he was here, he would also go and see Dorothea. The scenes on both sides of the street became more and more familiar. It was a place where he had lived in hallucinations for many years.
However, the witch who endangered the world was dead, and the magic genius was also dead. He had grown up with her for a time, and Jiang Chenchuan felt a little pity for some reason.
I placed a white flower in front of the door and looked at the dilapidated hut in front of me. There were no words or any ceremony. The black cat in my arms just meowed softly. Then, the white petals were blown up by the cold wind in winter. Sky.
Following the final road towards the seaside, looking from a distance, there seemed to be a figure standing there.
"Is there anyone?"
Jiang Chenchuan was a little confused.
The black cat broke free from his arms and jumped out. The man on the beach seemed to have noticed Jiang Chenchuan's arrival, and turned around and ran in the other direction without giving him a chance to meet.
Instead of chasing after him, Jiang Chenchuan bent down and picked up the black cat. Its black hair was covered with tiny particles of sand. It was an animal that loved to be clean, but it made itself so miserable.
Jiang Chenchuan patted the black cat gently and shook off the sand on his body, but something suddenly lit up.
The place where the man had stood was illuminated by the sun, reflecting a bright light that attracted Jiang Chenchuan's attention.
He walked forward and saw a familiar bracelet thrown on the beach. The sea water surged and covered it before slowly receding. He knelt down and picked it up, confirming that it was the bracelet that was originally on Ballas's hand.
"He was actually broken free."
Looking at the blood stains on the bracelet, Jiang Chenchuan silently put it away.
"Meow!"
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the black cat made a fuss and barked fiercely at the vast sea, as if there was some ferocious beast trying to scare it away.
Jiang Chenchuan turned his head, but he only saw the sparkling sea, looking calm and peaceful.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head and asked softly.
However, the cat would not answer. It just nuzzled Jiang Chenchuan obediently, and then fell asleep in his arms.
There may be something real about the ocean, but Jiang Chenchuan is no longer afraid.
After returning along the original path and returning to their temporary residence, they had already disposed of Da Silva's body and picked a good place to bury it. The poor magician did not escape the nightmare of the curse in the end.
When Jiang Chenchuan entered the house, Ethan and Yulia were already ready. They heard that the survivors had already started taking action at several o'clock this morning.
"Let's go, Bellito will probably be in a hurry."
Ethan greeted, it was past the agreed time and it was indeed time to go back.
The water on the street has not completely evaporated, reflecting the blue sky. The clear sky can bring a lot of good mood to people. Carrying the sealed recycling box, the three of them left Da Silva's home.
Occasionally, she could still hear several roars and noises coming from far away. On the already withered tree trunks, new sprouts were discovered. Yulia happily told Jiang about this unexpected discovery. Chenchuan.
Different from the panic when he arrived, he could still chat and laugh along the way. Ethan said that he could feel that the magic circle in the royal city was triggered, and maybe an infected person had entered the trap.
"Let's go, Mr. Ethan."
Hearing Yulia's call, he came back to his senses, took his suitcase and walked out of the city.
