Anchen walked to the table, the broken rune slab in the stone box floated quietly, and the breath on it gave Anchen a familiar feeling, which she had also felt on Zelas's body.

To Zeroth.

An Chen stretched out his hand and slowly closed the stone box, and the blue light Suzi and the closing of the stone box were concealed.

The corners of his mouth looked like he was laughing at himself, and An Chen withdrew his hand, heh, it seems that he can't run away this time.

She didn't know how to face Zelas, and she thought she would leave before he returned. As a thief, a wanted person, she was afraid of being involved with anyone, anywhere, so she never stayed in one place for long. She was afraid to say goodbye, so she was also used to leaving quietly.

With an inaudible sigh, Anchen sat down, in the twilight, in the dark room. She sat quietly, the afterglow illuminating the ground at her feet, but not her.

A figure in a black robe appeared silently at the top of the staircase, and he stepped into the hallway, but there was no sound in the quiet hallway. He reached out and dug through his pocket, took out a key, walked to the door, and opened his door.

There was no one in the room, and the cutlery on the table had not been cleaned up. Zelas casually untied the strip of cloth from his face, revealing the blue illusory face inside. It didn't look like a human face, but more like a mass of light gathered with energy.

"Coming back?" A lazy voice came from behind.

"Hmm." Zelas answered, and he checked it at the fair, and it turned out that it was expected, and he didn't find any fragments of the sarcophagus.

was about to pour himself a cup of tea, but he noticed that something was wrong, An Chen's voice had always had only one tone, and it would not carry such a lazy tone at all.

He turned around and saw a familiar but strange girl standing by the door.

It's still the long black hair, and the familiar beautiful face. But in those black pupils, it was completely different.

She leaned casually against the door, her eyes drooping, and she looked lazy as if she hadn't woken up. But in the lazy eyes, it is no longer the simple eyes that can be read at a glance like before. It's a very complicated look, a look that people can't understand.

"Don't care." An Chen smiled: "I just came to clean up the room, and I forgot it in the morning." As he spoke, he walked past Zelas, arranging the table with the plates.

"You." Zelas was silent for a moment: "Remember who you are?" ”

At the very beginning, in that cave, when Anchen woke up and saw him for the first time, he asked this same question.

"Yes." Anchen glanced back at Zelas: "My name is Anchen." ”

The room fell silent, and Zelas looked into Anchen's eyes, unable to find the slightest trace of what he remembered. He seemed to smile, but his illusory face made it impossible to see his expression: "I'm sorry. ”

···

"It's fine." An Chen thought for a moment and took out the stone box from behind his back: "Azir has been here today." ”

"He asked me to give this to you." With that, Anchen handed the stone box to Zelas.

Zelas looked down, hesitated, and reached out to take it. The stone box was a little heavy, like a sealing box. Only a little breath emanated from it, and the moment he came into contact, he barely felt it.

Sensing the breath inside, Zelas was stunned for a moment, he knew what was inside. The thing inside was the broken sarcophagus he had been looking for, and with this, his strength could be fully restored.

He didn't rush to open it, just quietly took the box and asked, "Did he say anything else?" ”

An Chen turned around and picked up the plate on the table: "Go to the Sand Ridge Hill tomorrow afternoon, he said, the matter should be understood." ”

With that, Anchen silently walked out of the room, leaving Zelas alone in the room.

Sending the plate back to the hotel, Anchen did not go to see Zelas again, but went back to his room alone.

She sat in the room, wiping slowly with a black knife, and the figure in the knife had disappeared. At the moment it dissipated, it said something to Anchen, but Anchen didn't hear it clearly.

An Chen is now the real owner of this black knife, but the feeling that this knife gives her makes her inexplicably a little uneasy.

She wasn't in the mood to think about it now, and when she finished wiping the black knife, she withdrew it to her waist. Holding a backpack, put some water and food and the book that Zelas had given her inside.

It's also pitiful to say, after being on the continent for so long, in the end, I don't even have a space ring.

If it's like in a novel from a previous life, those protagonists are generally born with their own such things.

Hey, sure enough, I'm not the protagonist's life. He shook his head with a sneer. With everything ready, Anchen picked up his backpack and walked out the door.

After taking a few steps, she stopped, her gaze falling on a mask in front of the bed. It was the Rakshasa mask she bought on the night of the Rain Festival.

After thinking about it for a while, Anchen reached out and picked it up, put it in his backpack, and walked out.

"Z." Anchen closed the door, only to see that on the other side, Zelas had also walked out of the room. It looks like you've got your bags ready.

"Hello." Anchen said hello.

"Hmm." Zelas answered, closing the door.

With the sound of the door closing, the lights in the hallway flickered, shining on the two of them, making them both look a little unreal.

The feeling between the two was illusory from the beginning. Anchen stood under the lamp and looked at Zelas in a robe not far away.

"Ready to go?"

"Well, let's do it together."

The two went downstairs together and walked out of the hotel.

The fair is over, the streets are deserted, the sun is about to set completely, the people on the road are ready to go home, and even the small shops on the side of the road are ready to pack up and close.

The two stood together, looking at the street, and did not speak for a while.

Zelas's gaze stayed in one place, as if he saw something, and said to Anchen, "You wait a minute. ”

He walked over, and it was a candy shop, and the old man of the shop was tidying up the cart and seemed to be about to leave.

"Boss, a marshmallow."

The old man raised his head suspiciously, but few people buy sugar at this time. A dark-robed strange man stood in front of him, handing over three copper coins.

"Ahh The boss smiled: "No problem. ”

The marshmallows were quickly ready, and the snow-white strands of sugar were entwined together to reflect the pale golden sunset.

Zeroth silently walked back to Anchen's side and handed her the marshmallow.

An Chen looked at the marshmallow in Zelas's hand in a daze, half a sound, smiled, and took the candy: "Thank you." ”

"Well, goodbye."

"Well, goodbye."

The two turned around and walked in two directions in the reddish street.

Zelas walked expressionlessly, but slowly, he smiled, a smile that was distinct, visible even in his ethereal face, a smile. He watched the sun set and continued to walk the way ahead. Even though he knew that his life was coming to an end.

The shredded sugar melts quickly in your mouth, with a hint of sweetness, and it tastes good. Anchen was carrying a bag, she didn't know where she was going, and there was always no way in front of her. But she's really tired, and now she may just want to find a place, a quiet place, to spend the rest of her life without knowing if there is an end. For her, this may already be the best ending.

A few days later, in the northern part of the desert, in the hills of the Sand Ridge, there was a terrifying explosion. No one knows what's going on there. All I know is that after the explosion, the place is left with nothingness. (TENTUAL)

Well, this is the end of the first volume of the novel. This volume didn't go as far as I had imagined, but it barely made it to the end. After this volume, everyone also knows that I am going to prepare for the exam, and it will not be updated for a while, so it should be regarded as a break and a pause. Thank you very much for your continued support, although I always say this sentence, but I really appreciate everyone. I don't speak very well and don't know how to express it, but I really appreciate it. Well, so be it. By the way, I still hope you will comment more on the plot in the comments, it's always bad to talk too much about my private affairs, haha.
