Chapter 112: The Return
After some walking, Javier finally arrived at the site of the explosion.
As far as the eye can see, there is a flat land with a radius of more than 300 meters, the ground shows burning marks, and the nearby buildings have been bulldozed in one go, turning into debris and rubble, piled up on the edge of the explosion range.
From the tragic scene alone, Havel can imagine the horror of the explosion at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was devastating. If the misfortune is affected, it must be the end of no bones.
Having come to such a conclusion, Javier couldn't help but tighten his heart, and a look of worry appeared on his expressionless face. But he also understood that it was pointless to be anxious, so he suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and began to search along the periphery of the explosion circle, hoping to meet the surviving subordinates.
This process lasted more than ten minutes, and Havel finally found something in a bungalow east of the blast zone.
The two girls were sitting in a corner of the room, their hair and clothes stained with dust, and there were traces of coarse cloth bandages on their bodies, looking a little embarrassed, but still unable to hide the beautiful style.
It's Spia and Marika.
Javier stepped in, making a deliberate noise as he walked.
Hearing the voice, the girls took up their weapons vigilantly, but when they saw that it was Javier, they invariably breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of relief.
Javier stood in front of them, glanced at the injuries on the two of them, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It looks like you're all injured a lot, doesn't it matter?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Sibia smiled reluctantly, the sadness in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and she wanted to tell him the news of Seleuc's death, but she didn't know how to open her mouth when the words came to her mouth, so she could only change the topic stiffly: "Javier is, there is blood all over his body, did he meet a strong enemy?" ”
"I've met a few tricky guys, but as you can see, since I'm here safely, it means they're all dead." Javier said calmly.
"That's right...... It's you. Sibia sighed softly, then bit her lower lip tightly, and was gone.
Marika stood beside her, her head slightly lowered, her eyes obscured by the bangs on her forehead, making it difficult to see her expression.
Seeing the two of them in such a state, Javier finally realized that the situation was not right, frowned, and asked, "Why is it only the two of you?" What about the others? ”
Hearing Javier's question, the two girls trembled slightly and became more and more silent, which made Javier's mood suddenly low, and that sense of foreboding rose again.
And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and Javier turned his head to look, only to see Arowen holding a ball-shaped object in his hand, and Shi Shiran stepped into the room.
When he saw that Javier was here, he chuckled and threw the ball in his hand down, rolling right at Javier's feet.
Javier looked down and saw that it was a man's head, and his face was filled with fear and pain, as if he had been treated with extreme cruelty in his life.
"You should know that this guy, Dr. Fashion, is the one in charge of the attack, and it took a lot of effort to catch up with him." Arowen explained casually, and said to Javier with a smile, "Looking at the appearance of your blood, you should also be taken care of, right?" It seems that we have no easy time for each other. ”
Javier stared at Arrowen's face, his eyes deep.
His ability to observe words and expressions is not weak, and he can naturally find that Arowen's smile at this time is pretended, as if he is enduring some violent emotion, which makes the ominous premonition in his heart even stronger.
And from just now to now, he had not seen the shadow of Seleuc, which had already reminded him of the worst.
"Where's Seleuc?" Javier asked suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly fell silent, as if there was a huge sadness enveloping everyone, and the deathly silence was spreading, and the feeling of depression was heart-stopping.
"Where's Seleuc?" He asked again, accentuatingly.
"Seleuc...... She's dead. Arrowen finally replied, the disguised smile on his face retracting at this moment, and his voice was low and almost hoarse.
There was already a guess in his mind, but when the idea was confirmed, Javier's eyes inevitably showed a look of shock.
His dark purple eyes widened slightly, and he stared directly at Arrowan with an oppressive gaze, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, such as that it was just a joke or something.
However, Arrowan did not shy away from staring at him, looking at the gaze like a deep pool, Javier seemed to be poured a basin of cold water, and he understood - Seleuc, he was really dead.
The girl who was full of a sense of justice, always worked harder than anyone else, and expressed her admiration for herself, from now on, completely disappeared from his life and will never appear again.
Realizing this, Javier lost his words for a moment, and his eyes were full of sadness.
At this moment, Spiya suddenly raised her head, and there was a hazy vapor brewing in her eyes, and then it turned into two crystal tears, which flowed down her cheeks, and then dripped down her chin and fell to the ground.
"Seleuc, she couldn't escape the explosion in order to save us, and she didn't even leave a body, and Xiao Ke was also ......" Sibia choked up, "We searched for a long time, but only found this ......"
She held the whirling stick weapon in her hand, which was covered with fine cracks and burn marks, and it was obvious that it could no longer be used.
"It's ...... The ...... of Seleuc"
Javier took the whirling stick from Spia's hand and looked at it in a daze, as if he was so stunned.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, as if he had accepted the news of Seleuc's death, and his face regained a calm look.
He put the whirling stick away, then turned around and walked out the door, and his deep voice followed: "Let's go, this mission is over, and we should return to the imperial capital to resume our lives." ”
The long night had passed, and now the sky was just dawning, and the rising light shone in, pulling Javier's shadow long, and making his figure even more majestic.
And everyone looked at his seemingly strong back, and suddenly felt that this man might not be as strong as they imagined.
He just carried too many things, whether it was the beliefs imposed on him by others, or the death of his comrades-in-arms, these things condensed into a weight that ordinary people could not imagine and could not bear, and pressed on his shoulders fiercely, so he could only use strength to disguise himself and protect himself.
This is actually ...... It's a fragile man.
Outside, Alfred's roar came from far and near, and they set out on their way back to the imperial capital.
