Two o'clock in the morning,

Museum of the Capital of Polnia,

The colleagues in the logistics department were not very good-looking because they were working overtime in the late night shift, carrying two bodies that were no longer presentable, through the thin rain curtain.

The temperature in the night suddenly plummeted, and it was drizzling, Jiang Chenchuan lifted his collar, put his hand in his pocket, and followed at the back of the team, the black trench coat and the darkness of the background almost blended in.

"Hey, good evening, see you again."

As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard Ethan's familiar greeting.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing that this guy was still alive and kicking, I was also a little surprised when I marveled at his vitality that was different from that of mortals.

"Technical Advisor."

"Oh? What's the big deal that requires you, a technical consultant, to make a special trip here late at night? ”

If it weren't for the huge impact of the trolley incident, Ethan wouldn't have just been called up after lying down, and after so many times, he felt that he might be going to have a nervous breakdown.

"This afternoon, there was an explosion on the tram of the third track, thirteen passengers and one driver on board died on the spot, this is not, check on the car in addition to the remnants of the relics......"

"A new relic?"

"Yes, if the serial number can't be detected, it will bring a lot of trouble to recycling."

That's Ethan's concern.

Although working in a museum itself is a life-long task, I hope that the dangers that can be avoided will be discovered in advance.

"Huh? Isn't that Rena? ”

While they were talking, the C-class personnel from the medical department approached with a familiar figure, and Ethan recognized Rena at a glance.

It's just that Rena's state doesn't look very good, and she doesn't seem to have recovered from the shock of the corpse, and the emerald pupils have lost their smart highlights.

Chris who was passing by noticed Rena's condition.

"She seems to have been a little frightened."

Jiang Chenchuan explained.

Behind him was a figure that wrapped himself tightly, and he seemed to care about Rena very much, and followed her not far behind.

"Just right, Ethan, do me a favor."

Ethan, who noticed Nika, seemed to realize something, and he replied in a low voice:

"Tell me about it."

"There should be a relic in Nika's body, probably one that looks like an insect egg, can you take it out?"

"He's fused with the relic?"

"Perhaps...... I can't be sure. ”

Jiang Chenchuan said in a calm voice.

Nika walked and walked, he stopped, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Chenchuan.

His face was so tightly wrapped that he couldn't see his expression or what he was trying to say.

Finally, he pointed to himself.

"What does he mean by that?"

Ethan asked, puzzled.

"It means...... He was open to experimentation. ”

On that day,

Under the bewitchment of those eyes, he chose kindness.

So

Nika left her mind behind.

He remembered what had happened in Goattown, and he remembered the last of the townspeople, who fell before him, their bloody hands trembling before him.

"Take it."

His hand reached out from the darkness and handed him the eggs that could actually give birth to the "black goat's horn".

The townsfolk were taken back.

And he, escaped.

But the aimless wandering and fleeing consumed his will, and that day, when he was hungry, he seemed to hear a man in the worm egg say to him:

"Eat me."

Nika stared at the egg for a long time, and finally, shoved it into her mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and never felt hungry again.

It's just that the skin begins to become whiter and whiter, as if sick, and the person is getting weaker and weaker, and slowly unable to walk, and the memories are like the top of the head that has lost hair, falling to the ground one by one.

Stumbling figure,

Arrived in the foggy city of Pornia.

"I'll leave it to you, Ethan."

……

Back to the third basement floor,

It's a completely different state of mind.

Except for the occasional night shift staff passing by, it was rare to see anyone else moving, and of course, it was still in a familiar place that Leonid was seen.

"Leonid."

The lights above his head fell, and when he saw a familiar old friend, Jiang Chenchuan greeted him happily.

Leonid turned around and smiled enthusiastically:

"Oh! Long time no see, old friend! It's great to see you come back safely. ”

He is still the same upright look, but it makes people look very kind inexplicably.

"How's your last assignment?"

Leonid asked with concern.

"It's okay, your gift is also very useful, thank you."

"It's a relic of time, you know, time, but it's a very special property, it seems to be able to change everything, and it can't seem to be changed, under constant conditions......"

Leonid raised his hand and said, he tried to explain to Jiang Chenchuan, he really wanted him to understand.

He wasn't much interested in time, but he had a lot of questions about the World Tree:

"Wait, don't talk about this yet, Leonid, the ones you mentioned last time, including the World Tree, and Genesis and the like, I have some questions for you."

"What? Please speak. ”

Leonid admired Jiang Chenchuan's enterprising spirit of learning.

"At the beginning of the Book of Genesis, it tells how the gods created the world, and it was the gods who gave their lives to the world, and there are some common mythological contents, but before that?"

"What?!"

Leonid was a little surprised that everyone was looking for what had happened after the creation of the world, but few had asked the word "before".

Before......

Yes, the existence and fall of the gods are certainly not as simple as creation.

"Moreover, if everything in the world comes from the words of the gods, can it be said that our souls themselves ...... is divinity. ”

Leonids was shocked by Jiang Chenchuan's speculation, which was a conclusion they came to after studying for a long time and looking for various theories and on-site evidence.

"The final ...... we worked out It is...... There is indeed God in this world, but we don't know how He exists, and we don't know where He will ......."

"Gods."

These two words, as long as they are pronounced, have a special magical power.

"By the way, last time you left in a hurry, I have to explain to you, that watch, it's actually not very easy to use, etc...... It's amazing! Did you fix it? Here's how to do it! My World Tree, do you still have such a method......"

Leonid looked shocked when he saw the watch that had been restored by Professor Heyman, as if it were an incredible thing.

Several D-class duty personnel who knew Ewell passed by the hallway, and they all looked at it curiously, with strange expressions, but everyone followed the content of the staff code, exchanged a few words, and hurriedly left.

In their eyes, Jiang Chenchuan stood in front of the display case of the relics, saying something from time to time, stopping occasionally, as if listening to something.

"The last time I saw Ewell, it was the same, a man talking to himself into the air."

"Would you like to report back to the convoys?"

"Forget it, let's talk less and go back to the lounge."

In front of Jiang Chenchuan,

Empty.
