Chapter Seventy-Two: Blessings for the Dead
The clues of the tram bombing case came out, and the forensic doctor found an alchemy glass bead in the driver's body, covering the twisted alchemy circle, which was an important reason for interfering with the detection results, so in fact, the actual sequence of the relics was [destruction].
Ninth sequence.
is called the worst sequence, and just mentioning it has a lingering sense of malice and coldness.
When Jiang Chenchuan came down from the inpatient department, he received the task of recovering the relics, but he was not in a hurry, and there was still a period of waiting time to assemble.
Including Ethan's active assistance, there are a total of three teammates this time, in addition to Yas who was seen last time, and one is on his way back from the slave city of Osman, according to the report of the last communication reply, it will take a day to reach Pornia.
"Minister Moisan also explained that this time remember to ask Yas to wear the Guardian Bracelet and be careful."
"Thanks for the reminder."
Jiang Chenchuan carried the wheelchair borrowed from the medical department, returned to Nika's ward, put on a warm coat for him, and then carried him off the hospital bed.
Having the rare luxury of renting a luxury carriage, instead of immediately taking Nika to the cemetery, he made a circle around the Setvina district to the church of the Church of the Dead.
As the weather grew colder, Nika had to be covered with a thick blanket, and the golden sunlight covered the city with holy light, and when you came to the Church of the Dead, you could see people in black priest's clothes walking by, like the Grim Reaper described in a book.
Jiang Chenchuan asked Nika to wait for him in the carriage for a while, it is a custom in Polia that the black rose offered to the deceased represents the blessing of blessings, however, this gift can only be bought in the church of the dead.
Nika looked out the window through the misty glass, and coughed weakly, it didn't take long for Jiang Chenchuan to come back with three bouquets of flowers, it was not cheap, if he was seen by Lokren, he would definitely scold him for spending money indiscriminately.
Putting the flowers in the car, with a faint fragrance, I vaguely heard a passing priest talking about the follow-up of the Dawn Church, and I heard that the trial was held in the Central Order this morning, and all the people involved in the forbidden experiment were sentenced to prison, all the incubators were destroyed, and the Knights of Dawn were reorganized.
Jiang Chenchuan glanced back at Nika, he didn't react much, and left in the carriage.
It would take a while to reach the Blood Hunt Cemetery, which was enough for Nika to sleep peacefully in the carriage, but he didn't seem to have much intention of resting, but struggled to get up, changed his position, and was closer to Jiang Chenchuan.
"Miss Rena, she...... You okay? ”
After hesitating for a long time, Nika asked.
"It's okay, she's just a little frightened, just rest for the night."
Jiang Chenchuan replied truthfully.
"Not curious? Why should I protect Miss Rena, and why did I agree to the surgery? ”
Nika felt pain all over his body, and he didn't even have much strength to speak, but he still wanted to speak, to say the last words.
"What if...... What are you willing to tell me. ”
Jiang Chenchuan didn't force anything, he drove the carriage and looked ahead, he was not familiar with the road to the cemetery.
"Miss Rena...... It's the only person in Polnia who will say 'I'm sorry' to me, and it will make me feel that there are still good people in this world, and it will make me want to try to believe in the goodwill of the world again......
I remembered that I was born in Goattown, and they had always been terrible dealers, and the reason I didn't come home that day was because I saw the priest in the church...... I'm trading with someone else. ”
"Deal?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked curiously.
"Yes, a man in a white robe seems to be a priest of higher rank, and there are many knights in white armor standing behind him, I dare not eavesdrop, I can only watch from a distance."
"In other words, the information in Goat Town was sold by your priest?"
"Yes, my father used to call him respectfully...... Father Louis. ”
“……”
Cause and effect is a special kind of fate, and what is gained from one place must be lost in another.
After being silent for a long time, the carriage suddenly stopped, only to hear the sound of Jiang Chenchuan getting out of the car, put the wheelchair away before pulling the car door, looked at Nika's pale face, and said:
"Nika, I'll take you to meet your family."
The sun emerged from the gray clouds and shone warmly on the earth, with a crisp smell, Jiang Chenchuan pushed his wheelchair into the cemetery.
The cemetery was deserted, with scattered bouquets of flowers in front of stone monuments, and some were piled up with thick gray dust, and according to the location provided by Ethan, they found the place where the bodies were buried in the Atlas Alchemy.
Due to the unknown relationship, he could only rely on the approximate number and the events recorded behind the stele to find the exact location, and placed the two bouquets in front of the tomb, and Nika himself slowly moved over.
"I brought Nika here."
Jiang Chenchuan fulfilled the promise he had made, and another bundle of blessings he placed in front of Leonid's tomb.
Nika sat in silence in her wheelchair, leaving a line of clear tears in the corners of her eyes, and the cold wind could not dissipate her sadness, and she could only wait for time to pass away.
But because of the doctor's explanation, Nika couldn't stay outside for too long, and when he finished what he wanted to say, Jiang Chenchuan pushed him out of the cemetery.
As soon as he loaded Nika into the carriage, he spoke slowly:
"Mr. Ewell, I used to see behind you...... I have a pair of eyes that have spoken to me. ”
Jiang Chenchuan paused instantly, and his gentle eyes instantly became fierce.
"Don't worry, it's just some demagoguery." Nika added as if she had thought of something.
Jiang Chenchuan carefully put down Nika, then straightened his body and habitually touched the side, but remembered that he didn't bring a cane when he went out today.
"Once, when I was praying in church, I overheard something about what it was...... Most of the museum's original collection came from the ocean, the mysterious Xinlan Sea, but I had never been out of the valley before, and I didn't know what the ocean was, but I heard that it was very large and wide, and the owner who controlled the storm lived there. ”
"Thanks, it's time for us to go back."
Coming out had already consumed too much of Nika's energy, he nodded weakly, leaned back on the soft pillow, closed his eyes, and didn't know if he was asleep.
In the books that tell the history of the museum, it is recorded that the process of human beings fighting the anomaly, at first human beings had no way to deal with the relics, but allowed anomalous events to occur everywhere, and the death toll soared during that time, but the police had no way at all, and could only rely on a small number of awakened people to solve it, and in that era of wanton erosion of darkness, no one could resist the darkness.
It was not until the establishment of the Anglo-Northern State that the development of steam, world tree energy, and alchemy brought about advances in productivity, and gradually improved the system of museum recycling.
Sent Nika back to the warm ward, asked the colleagues in the medical department to take good care of it, returned to the processing department, filled in the relics needed for the recovery work, and said "return to the team" to Yas, Yas happily threw away the information at hand, and responded loudly to Jiang Chenchuan's call.
Today's afternoon newspaper really published the results of the Dawn Church's handling, which was not far from what he heard in the Church of the Dead, Jiang Chenchuan was able to put his mind at ease, and the rest of the content was to say that tonight would usher in the first heavy snow of winter.
The crowd was bustling together, every noisy sound invaded the ears, and walking down the bustling streets, only the horn of the tram was unusually harsh, accompanied by the surging steam, like the breath of a steel serpent.
"It's going to snow tonight, do you want to wake up and watch the snow?" The man's playful voice sounded in Jiang Chenchuan's mind.
"No, I don't."
Jiang Chenchuan responded indifferently.
If you look at the World Tree from afar, you can notice its enormity even if you don't have to get closer, and as the sun sets, the air becomes colder and colder.
When it was getting dark, it was pouring rain.
In the end, Nika could not bear the cold, and died in that warm and clean hospital bed, he will be buried in Pornia forever, no one knows his past, but someone put a black goat's horn in front of the tomb, representing his past and experience.
Shhhh
Don't wake him up.
