Chapter 60: Return
"Temples?" asked Jean suddenly.
I saw that the drunkard quickly shook his head.
"You're not Demps?" said Jean with a frown.
The drunkard continued to shake his head, as if he didn't want to answer Jean's question anymore.
Jean grabbed the drunkard's head, and held back his nausea and brushed away the drunkard's long greasy hair and beard. But after a short observation, he put it down again.
This man's appearance was not at all Demps's appearance, but Jean remembered that night when he and Demps went to Bird's dormitory at night, Demps's eyes were not turquoise, and the high bridge of his nose was not his.
"Why are some of your inadvertent movements so similar to Demps? Are you deliberately pretending to be another person's actions? You're not Demps at all?" Gene was suspicious at this time, thinking that this person might not be his original lost partner Demps, Jean suddenly had countless more evidence in his mind, such as this person's appearance, such as this person's temperament and character, etc., from the whole to the details.
Jean remembered the happy things that had happened when he and Demps and the others were in the palace in the city of Stanlow.
The drunkard didn't speak, just kept shaking his head, nervously shaking his head, accompanied by bursts of convulsions, which looked very strange and funny. The drunkard's massive movements interrupted Jean's slowly spreading sadness.
"Okay, you look me in the eye, and I'll ask you one last question!" Hearing Jean say this, the drunkard's swing slowed down
"You're not Demps?" asked Jean.
The drunkard looked up at Jean, but with a nod.
His eyes were cloudy and he couldn't concentrate, and at first glance he knew that he was a person who had been soaked in wine for many years.
"Why don't you speak?" asked Jean again.
The drunkard became silent, did not move, and even lowered his head, no longer looking at Jean, as if he was caught in a memory, thinking about something, or protesting against Jean's dishonesty.
"What are you hiding from me?" said Jean, who jerked forward and grabbed the drunkard's hand.
The drunkard suddenly fell into panic, his pupils dilated, staring at the place where Jean touched him, and then tried his best to break free from Jean's restraints.
But because Jean was more powerful than him, he couldn't shake Jean in the slightest.
'Why is this man's strength so small' Jean immediately noticed something abnormal, this drunkard's strength is not even comparable to that of an adult woman. For Jean, it can even be described as weak and powerless.
Gene suddenly thought of something, grabbed the drunkard's hands, turned it over, and directly pushed up all the sleeves of his shirt.
Two scars, which had just healed, appeared on the inside of the drunkard's hands and arms.
Jean was stunned for a moment, and was immediately hit directly by the drunkard with the strength of his shoulders and elbows, and fell to the ground without paying attention.
I saw that the drunkard crawled and hurriedly ran towards the alleyway, and then gradually disappeared into the alleyway.
Jean didn't chase it.
Early the next morning, Jean went out of town.
However, the black-armored soldiers were already standing outside the city gate, and the long queue out of the city had already circled back and forth several times.
"The acting lord of the city, Lord Huer, has ordered that the displaced people and refugees outside the city can come to live in the city, and they can choose an empty house that is uninhabited. ”
"Also, no one is allowed to move out of the city of Lente without an order from Lord Hull!
A black-armored soldier with a manuscript was seen walking back and forth through the crowd and reading its contents aloud.
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw the black-armored soldier search a large bag of coins from a middle-aged man, and it seemed that it was the person who planned to move away from the city of Lunte as mentioned in the ban.
Despite the man's explanations, the black-armored soldier did not listen. And he also shouted loudly, "We have met a lot of such people! Lord Huel, the lord of the city, has given us an order to dispose of it, and if anyone has the slightest intention of fleeing from the city of Lunte, then we will deal with it according to the law! I advise you to be conscious, if you are not a poor person outside the city, stay in the city honestly! Lord Huel plans to give you food and take care of you!"
"Any excuse to want to get out of town can be said and listened to by us, and we can all be satisfied. If you want to escape from Lunte City now, it will be a felony!" he said and threw the middle-aged man directly to the ground.
Jean saw a middle-aged woman in front of him hold back tears, resist the impulse, and slowly retreat from the queue.
There are not a few people who secretly quit the team like this, and if there is one leader, there will be a second, and after there are more people, everyone will be emboldened and leave one after another. After this incident, the whole line was much smaller, and of course the time Jean spent in line was reduced.
Jean in the team, his focus is not on those who are scattered and want to escape from Lente City, because according to the rules of space, he can't escape far, and once he escapes, he will be directly wiped out.
He was looking for the drunkard, who he called Demps, but he couldn't find anything. In addition, Jean was looking for Angelo and York, who were scattered by the crowd last night, but also received nothing.
As the queue shrank, Jean took less time to queue himself.
As soon as the cold of the morning faded and the heat was just lingering, it was Jean's turn.
"Out-of-town poor, refugees, displaced people?"
"Pauper"
"Do you have a place to live outside the city, and you have a partner?"
"There was a place to live, and there were six companions, and three died. ”
"What's your name?"
Jean
The black-armored soldier looked at a civilian-looking man beside him, and saw that the man seemed to be rummaging through the relevant records. After the two of them whispered, they saw him stand up again and said, "You can pass, but it is limited to the four of you, and tomorrow you must live in the city of Lunte, which is the allocated room." As he spoke, he handed Jean a wooden sign with information on the standard place to live.
"With this, you will be able to exchange it for food when the time comes. In short, it will definitely be good for you to live in the city of Lunte and follow Lord Huel!" After saying that, he patted Jean on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
Jean nodded slightly, and the black-armored soldier made way for a one-person path.
Walking out of the city gate, the scenery outside the city is different, and after a few steps, you can see the figure of a black-armored soldier, and you can't continue to move out without the wooden sign in your hand. It seems that this 'lord' of Huel has made all preparations to keep everyone in the entire city.
Soon they came to the place where they lived when they first came to this world.
There was no one in the house, and Angelo and the others had not yet returned.
