Several gatekeepers, including Phantom, disappeared from the main building, leaving behind five new owners, the dazzling chandelier, and the unlit candles.

It's been a long time......

"Are they really gone? So what do we do next? Kate broke the silence first.

"What else can be done to decide the future of humanity, or let's vote." Liyue smiled.

"Vote? What to vote for? Zhuge Xun asked.

"Of course, it's 'maintain the status quo', or 'destroy again'!" Liyue said.

"I don't know what's going on in the Central Circle right now." Ling sighed.

"Take a look, don't you know, by the way, the illusion is gone, can the 'Gate of Time' still be used?" Kate remembered this important thing.

"No, there isn't that, but it's inconvenient."

Liyue and Kate turned around and went upstairs at the same time.

"Let's take a look at what else has changed in this room. You and Ling also go to have a look, I'll take a look outside the museum, wait for Kate to come down, if the 'Gate of Time' can still be used, I'll accompany you to the central circle to see the situation first, and then it's not too late to make a decision." Zhuge Xun patted Ling's shoulder.

"Okay."

After a long time, several people gathered again on the first floor.

"The door is still usable, I didn't dare to go too far, I just went to the back mountain." Kate Road.

"Well, I went around six laps and found something interesting." Liyue smiled.

"The decoration in the museum is still the same as it was." Lingdao.

"The books on the third floor are also there, and there are indeed a lot of books added to the catalog that they didn't have before.

It's just that...... The book with the title "The House of the Red Moon" is gone, and it has been replaced by a book with the title "The House of Humanity". "Say.

"Outside the pavilion......" Zhuge Xun wanted to speak and stopped.

"Kaoru found out too." Liyue leaned next to Zhuge Xun and smiled.

"What did you find?" Ling asked.

"It's been three years since the world outside of this pavilion." Zhuge Xun didn't want to believe it either.

"What do you mean?" Ling was puzzled.

"You're really stupid, we mean, from the time these gatekeepers arrived in this pavilion to the time they left just now, three years have passed outside, that is, three years have passed since the 'Central Circle Incident'." Liyue explained.

"Didn't the Mio gatekeeper say that Phantom can control the flow of time? It should be the thought that we will be entangled in the future of mankind, so it speeds up the passage of time so that we can make decisions faster. Zhuge Xun analyzed.

"Kaoru makes sense." Liyue wanted to put her hand on Zhuge Xun's shoulder, but Zhuge Xun avoided it.

"I'm going to see it with my own eyes." Ling turned around and went upstairs after speaking.

"I'll go with you!" Zhuge Xun hasn't forgotten that Ling is an ordinary person now.

"They're gone, I'm going to tally in the store, remember to call me when they come back." Liyue waved and walked to the front store.

"I'd like to see the extra books." She looked at Kate.

"Go ahead. I'm waiting for them to come back. ”

Kate was the only one left in the hall, and Kate simply lay down on the couch, recalling the ...... after the hall

Central Circle:

"How did this happen?"

Ling looked at the devastated Central Circle, although it has been three years since the 'Central Circle Incident', but I never imagined that the former Central Circle would become such a dilapidated and miserable state.

The 'Sky Shield' had been destroyed, and at first glance, there were still survivors moving, but they all looked exhausted.

"I asked, the Central Circle has become like this, because after the 'incident', the Hunters' Association took the opportunity to enter the Central Circle, and now the 'center' of the world is the Hunters' Association." Zhuge Xun said.

Ling sighed deeply.

"Ling, we can't change anything about the next thing at all."

"Are there any other protective circles or civilian areas other than the Hunters' Guild?"

"Let's go to the eight circles, and I think there should be the answer we want to know."

"Where is Master Long?"

"Hmm."

Eighth Ring of Protection:

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhuge and Ling! Why did you come to my eighth circle, we all thought that you were all dead during the 'Central Circle Incident', and by the way, the Central Circle also issued Ling's [Wanted], hum, but now it has become waste paper, because there is no 'Central Circle' anymore. Jin Long saw that it was Zhuge Xun and Ling, so he invited the two into the house.

"Where's Master Long?" Zhuge Xun asked.

"Grandpa has ...... Now the eight laps are managed by me. My grandfather left very peacefully, and said that he was a little regretful that he could not see Mr. Zhuge again before he died. ”

"It's my regret that I'll go and put incense on his old man's house later."

"By the way, you're here at this time?"

"We just wanted to get a sense of what it's like out there right now. We've just come from the Central Circle. Ling Dao.

Jinlong sighed......

"After the Central Circle incident, in the past three years, the Hunters Association has begun to hoard resources on a large scale, and the Conservation Circle now only has my eight circles and four circles, and they dare not move, and the rest have been under the unified management of the Hunters Association.

On the civilian side, according to the information I have, it has all been ......."

"Over there in District 2 too?" Ling reminds of the boss of the second district, Hartitt.

Jinlong shook his head.

"What are your plans for the future? Why don't you stay in my eight laps, I don't miss a bite of food for the two of you here. Although Jinlong said that he had his own plans, he also sincerely wanted the two of them to stay.

"No, we have other things.

Jinlong, I want to ask you something. Ling asked.

"You ask."

"Now that the world has become like this, you ......" Ling didn't know how to ask.

"I can probably understand what Ling wants to ask......

There is no way to do this, human civilization has seen its destruction, there is the existence of the Hunter Association, and we have no hope, but this is not my business alone, there are still so many people in the eight circles, I want to protect their safety.

At least let the elderly sleep peacefully, the children can grow up, even if the end really comes, I will have a clear conscience for myself. ”

Ling could feel that Jinlong had grown a lot compared to when she knew him before.

"I'm sure you can do it." The depression in Ling's heart suddenly brightened up after listening to Jinlong's words.

"After the Central Circle incident, I also lost the ability to use 'electricity', and now I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't help you and Bahuan......"

"If you say anything, we are very happy that you can come and see us, which proves that there is still humanity in this world. I'll have some food ready for you to eat on the way. Jinlong called his men to prepare.

"Don't bother."

Ling and Zhuge Xun looked at each other and got up to leave.

"Do we still have a chance to meet?" Jinlong asked.

"Yes."

After Ling finished speaking, he entered the gate of time with Zhuge Xun and left the eight circles.

Eight laps away:

"Where are you going next?" Zhuge Xun thought of the place where Ling would go, but it was no longer suitable for the two of them to go now.

"Are you afraid I'll go to the Hunters' Guild headquarters? If it was before, I might have gone, but not now.

Even if the Hunters' Guild has the original intention of backing up the Guild, it may also be a way for people to continue to survive.

Let's go back to the main building, I've decided. ”

"Hmm. Whatever your decision is, I support you, at least you have two votes. Zhuge Xun hammered Ling.

"Hmm."
