Chapter 1948: Waiting and Leaving
The sight of living corpses prostrating is happening everywhere in the United Kingdom, including the vicinity of the ancient city of Winchester.
This scene immediately annoyed Safina, who had planned to go to Weymouth, but was repeatedly delayed by events such as the Living Corpse Riot on the way.
"Bang!"
She had just returned from outside, and she casually pushed the door of the atrium open, and then saw her pursing her lips slightly, and sat heavily in the last row of prayer seats.
Looking at her face full of impatience, it was obvious that she almost wrote the words "I'm not happy" directly on her face.
"Miss Gerofain...... What's wrong? β
Hannah, who was whispering to Neville, stopped talking and walked over gently.
"It's okay," Safina said, waving her hand randomly, "but I'm afraid something big is going to happen next." β
Since gaining this power in the hands of Maca, her temper and attitude have obviously deteriorated a lot compared to the past. But in the end, she is still kind by nature, and in the face of gentle Hannah, her temper rarely flares up.
Seeing that Hannah was still puzzled after hearing this, Safina even shook her head and continued to explain:
"The living corpses outside are all kneeling in the northwest direction, and I don't know what they are kneeling on...... But I guess it's mostly related to Helbo. β
"Get on your knees?"
Hermione, who had just come in from the corridor in front of her, happened to hear Safina's words, and saw her come quickly, and asked a question as she walked this way.
"Well, yes!" Safina looked up at her for a moment, then pointed to the door that she had just opened and had not yet closed, "You can go out and see for yourself...... Oh, you can go, the rest of us just stay here and don't just go out, I think something new will happen in a while...... Anyway, I don't think we're going to be able to go to Weymouth. β
However, when Hermione heard her say this, she didn't immediately go out to check on the situation. I saw her hesitate in place for a moment, then turned around, and walked straight back.
"I'm going to see Luna."
After Hermione mentioned this, everyone in the middle hall finally realized why she was running backβthere was a high-level living corpse hidden in Luna's shadow!
With this in mind, everyone gathered in the atrium hurriedly got up and followed Hermione's footsteps towards the hallway. Even Safina couldn't help but nod her head at this time, and left the prayer bench to chase after her.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk...... Tuk-tuk. β
Hermione was the first to arrive at the door of Luna's room, and when she raised her hand, there was a sharp knock, and it was obvious that Luna was very worried about her situation at this time.
Although...... Sarah has been in her room for the past two days!
"Squeak-"
As the door was pulled open from the inside, Hermione's knocking finally stopped.
"Knocking so quickly, what's going on?" It was Sarah who came out to open the door, and she looked at the big guys gathered in the corridor outside the door with some confusion, frowned slightly and said, "What's going on again?" β
Although her alchemy dolls have been reduced by more than half after a huge attrition during the Living Corpse Rebellion, there are still many puppets patrolling the ancient city. Even though the outermost defenses had been handed over to Safina's Black Flame Wizard and Hermione's gravity traps, she would have known at any time if something similar to a living corpse attack had happened.
But the truth is, now Sarah doesn't notice any danger outside.
"Miss Gaufein says that the group of living corpses has changed unusually, and I'm worried about Luna...... You know why, so I wanted to come and see ...... first."
Hermione was talking when she saw that Luna had already appeared behind Sarah, and looked over with some curiosity.
"Hermione? Is it time to eat again? I'm not hungryβ"
"It's not about eating." Hermione said helplessly, "I wanted to ask you, your ...... Friend? Nothing out of the ordinary? β
"Oh, you mean 'Silly Wave'?" Luna looked down at her shadow and shook her head, "No?" She's so good! β
"Really?" Hermione also glanced at Luna's shadow, thought about it again, and then bowed her head slightly, "That's good, it's okay...... Of course, if there is anything abnormal, remember to let us know in time. β
"Huh? Oh...... Good. β
Luna nodded a little confused, but didn't ask more. Hermione saw her staring down at the shadow again, as if communicating with the "friend" inside, so she took advantage of the gap to signal to Sarah.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hohenheim, but please look at her more."
"I know."
Perhaps after discovering that Hermione had directly asked the question of the living corpse in the shadow as soon as she saw Luna, Sarah had already sent the puppet to the periphery to check on the situation while agreeing.
It didn't take long for her expression to change slightly, as if she had "seen" the spectacular scene of the living corpses in the outside world kneeling down.
"Safina, outside the gap in the wall to the northeast, have you already cleared another batch?" Sarah couldn't help but ask Safina who was standing behind.
"yes!" Safina shrugged, "I didn't like it when I knelt out there, so I disposed of some of them - they didn't fight back anyway." β
"Don't you fight back?" Sarah hesitated, "This is very unusual indeed...... By the way, weren't you ready to leave here with Ursula? Don't take advantage of the moment? β
Hearing this, Safina shook her head decisively.
"I'm worried about something going wrong."
"I'd like to leave early," Sarah frowned, "and there's always a bad feeling." β
"Really?" Safina looked at Sarah, who had a serious face, and hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't help but purse her lips again and said, "If you leave now...... It's not impossible, after all, no one knows what will happen next. But what happened to Lovegood? Can I go to Weymouth? β
"To be honest, I don't know," Sarah said softly as she looked back at Luna's shadow, "it should be...... Yes, I didn't feel any hostility during the past two days here. β
"Well, let's goβ"
"Wait!"
Almost as Sarah and Safina decided to leave here and return to Weymouth, Hermione, who had been listening to herm, finally couldn't help but speak:
"We ...... Can't go yet. β
"Why?" Safina frowned, then said abruptly, "Oh...... Are you still thinking about waiting for McLean here? Let's be honest with you! I don't remember him saying he would come back here...... I advise you to go, maybe he has already returned to France! β
