Chapter 147: Departure
The fiery steam mixed with the black smoke slowly rose and was blown away by the cold winter wind, and the small changes did not affect anything, and the city was still like that, like the gears of a machine, running along its own path.
Only the warm sun sprinkled on the earth, bringing a layer of golden brilliance.
The ancient bells rang in the city, the distant sound spread through every corner of the streets, strangers came and went, train after train drove into the station, looking at the expressions on people's faces, you can probably guess the experience of this trip.
They were carrying heavy luggage, the wind and snow would erode their bodies and minds, and looking at the registered records, it was no longer possible to see the travelers arriving from Ronalque.
Jiang Chenchuan came to the platform with his luggage and looked down at his watch, there was still a period of time before the train arrived.
"Ywell, you came early, what about the others?"
Ethan's voice rang in his ears,
……
The change was completed around two o'clock
The darkness in front of him faded, revealing Ethan's worried expression, slowing his breathing, realizing that he had returned to the real world.
"Are you okay?"
An unexpected voice sounded, Jiang Chenchuan turned his head and saw Barras's figure appear in front of the mansion. 韆釺哾
He leaned down and picked up the kitten on the ground, touched the black cat's head, and estimated that the cordial greeting was just concerned about the cat.
"Why are you here?"
"It's nothing, it's too uncomfortable to be paralyzed by this."
Ballas shook the chain on his hand and explained to Jiang Chenchuan that if he could come here, it also meant that the people from the museum were there.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Andre and Yas walking towards them, and it was not a battle, so he helped Jiang Chenchuan to stumble.
The half-kneeling soothsayer let out a painful cry like a crying baby, and after a while, some peculiar lines appeared on her face.
"Save ...... Help me...... Please...... Help me. ”
The soothsayer struggled and wept, she held her face, but the curse was slowly eating away at her body, time seemed to speed up on her, and the originally young body quickly aged, and the skin became shriveled like a withered corpse.
As if drained of her life force by some mysterious force, no one here knew how to break the curse, and could only watch her die in the struggle and begging for mercy.
Slowly, she fell.
"I don't want to ......"
A hoarse, dry voice squeezed out of her throat, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and she stopped moving.
"They're ......"
Before Yas could be surprised, he saw Andre stop.
"Is it over? Captain. ”
Andre turned his head to look at Jiang Chenchuan, and saw Jiang Chenchuan nodding weakly, before organizing Yas to act.
The long illusion was finally over, and he seemed to return to reality, and the witch did not wake up, but slept forever in the illusion.
Perhaps, this is a relief for her.
But......
Although the person is dead, the impending disaster has not been resolved, and there is a sudden inexplicable stinging pain in his head, as if something is about to break out of the cocoon.
It seems that the influence of the relics on him, sensing his presence, invades his consciousness through a strange way.
"Ywell, are you alright?"
The body was being processed, Ballas was teasing the black cat in his arms, and only Ethan noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Chenchuan.
Jiang Chenchuan wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips, it was a strange sense, as if he could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, echoing in the empty world.
"Hey! Can you still hear me...... Ewell! ”
Ethan asked anxiously, and he could see that Jiang Chenchuan's face was terrifyingly pale, as if he was about to fall to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
It's like riding a high-speed roller coaster, the picture in front of you is constantly changing, and finally, slowly freeze, it is a scene that is not unfamiliar.
It was as dark as ever, except for a dim light in the distance, swaying in the wind, as if it would go out at any moment.
"Ywell is in terrible shape, Andre, come and help me and get him to the car."
Ethan took Jiang Chenchuan towards the carriage, and as soon as he helped the person into the carriage, he heard a strange noise, and without warning, the car suddenly moved.
The stagnant blood seemed to flow again, something was snatching consciousness from the chaos, and the cold current spread all over the body along the limbs, and Jiang Chenchuan gradually woke up.
Soon, he felt the jolt of the carriage, and Ethan's angry roar in the cold night wind, and all the chaos quickly detached from his body, and then he sat up from the carriage.
"Awake? Are you okay? ”
With that slightly ridiculous and familiar concern, it was difficult for Jiang Chenchuan not to be sober.
"Early winter?"
There is some temptation in the affirmation.
"I didn't expect you to really succeed."
I could hear that there was some joy in the tone of early winter, but there was still some disbelief.
"What?"
"Witch, although I don't know what you have experienced, but if you really killed the witch, you are simply the savior of Ronalk City."
Hearing Chu Dong say this, a trace of rejection arose from the bottom of his heart for a moment, and he wanted to refute and say a few words, but this
^0^ It's really not Jiang Chenchuan's style.
"No one is born bad."
When the wind passed, he also shook off Ethan behind him, and gradually slowed down the speed of the carriage in early winter.
"Ewell, are you speaking for the witch?"
In a short period of time, there have been different changes, which surprised the early winter.
"You can interpret it as you like."
Jiang Chenchuan's gaze looked at the darkness in the distance, there was no light in the dark pupils, this calm suffocation was desperate, as if he had changed into a person after not seeing him for a few days.
"What's wrong with you? Ewelly. ”
Early Winter stopped the carriage and turned his head and asked curiously.
“……”
"Are you ...... Sympathize with the witch? ”
Silent in the middle of the winter asked.
She saw Jiang Chenchuan's expression clearly, as if she saw his pity, but they were obviously hostile and didn't know each other, so it was strange to have this kind of emotion.
"Your eyes ......"
Before Jiang Chenchuan could finish asking, Chu Dong hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, she was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to put on the blindfold.
And the number of silver moons in her eyes increased again, and only then did Jiang Chenchuan notice that there were more scars and bruises on her face in early winter, and even some inconspicuous places, and the cracked wounds were still oozing blood uncontrollably.
"It's nothing, I violated the rules of the sect, it's good that I wasn't killed, it's just some punishment from the witch, fortunately, there is a member who helped me, plus the witch is not here these days, so I can escape so smoothly."
Chu Dong explained to Jiang Chenchuan.
It was also thanks to the early winter that Yulia was able to be rescued, thinking of this, Jiang Chenchuan shook his head as if relieved, and said:
"If I say, I know how to lift the curse from your eyes, will you try?"
There was consternation in early winter's eyes.
Before she could reply, she saw Ethan's figure from far and near.
"They're catching up, and we've got to go."
In early winter, he wanted to move even more, but was held down by Jiang Chenchuan.
"Okay, don't run away, it's all your own people."
"......" early winter.
With the death of the witch, the curse and the murder were finally settled, and since the sorcerer was dead, the mark of Tole Claes did not form the final real curse.
Tole Claes recuperated at home for a few days and went to the hospital to change his medication a few times before the injury on his neck was healed.
Because of the dead man next door, the rent of that house was falling wildly, which made Tole Claes a lot cheaper.
I heard that within a few days, the young enthusiastic police officer was back to work alive.
It seemed that everything was coming to an end, but only Jiang Chenchuan knew that this was just the calm before the disaster, and the real storm had not yet come.
As a result of the fishing boat accident, no traces of relics were found, just a simple shipwreck.
But that day, Berlito said that if he saw a person in the sea, he should have something, and from the witch's memory, the source of the disaster came from the ocean.
Xinlan Sea Area.
Jiang Chenchuan has also seen people's nights, what kind of terrible truth is hidden under the calm sea, no one knows.
The days seem to be passing day by day, it feels like nothing is happening, and time flies.
Seldom have the time to observe the early morning so closely, the anticipation of waiting for the sunrise, and the freshest air, and no one wants to make the atmosphere too oppressive.
Jiang Chenchuan submitted an application to the museum, and heard that the relics prepared for him this time were full of surprises.
He didn't want any surprises, he just wanted to be useful in the process of retrieving relics. The witch's body was refrigerated in the medical department's morgue, and the doctor who listened to the autopsy said that even if she died, the residual strength was still detected in her body.
Including the curse based on her life, the existence of a soothsayer, and many people in the witch cult died on the same day due to the curse.
But the only good news is that the attempt in Fantasyland was successful.
The moon in the eyes of early winter disappeared, just like an ordinary summer person, and the gray-white pupils gradually turned black.
I don't know which channel Yulia learned that Jiang Chenchuan was going to Ronalk City, so she took the initiative to apply and went together.
If you think about it, there are quite a few people who set off together this time.
The mimic Barras, the special golden eyes of Berlito, the alchemy proficient Ethan, the supportive doctor Yulia Decavo, and the former member of the Witch Cult, Early Winter.
meow
By the way, there's also a black cat.
Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Baras couldn't put it down with the black cat, which made Jiang Chenchuan feel a headache.
When I entered the bedroom, I saw the black cat scurrying around on the curtains, grabbed the back of the black cat's neck, and took it down.
"Give you half an hour to tidy up my bedroom."
Jiang Chenchuan said with a cold face, usually at this time, Barras is already very dangerous, if he doesn't move again, he may really be dismantled.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Berlito sneered sickly at the door.
"Berlito, are you done?"
"Do it right away! Do it now! ”
^0^ Jiang Chenchuan turned his head to look at him, and was so frightened that Berlito hurriedly ran away, anyway, no one who came to join in the fun.
Since Ballas went home with him, the addition of Berlito has made the already small Black River Detective Agency even worse, and there is basically not much room for it, and even daily diet may have problems.
Fortunately, Loqueren learned of this situation and would come over to help him solve the problem of eating in the next few days.
Only occasionally after falling asleep would he dream about Dorotia's experiences, and he knew very well that the relic was not weakly corrosive, and that he might even have to use the power of original sin to resist the erosion.
lit the kerosene lamp on the table and sat down at the table, probably seeing that Jiang Chenchuan was not in a very good mood, and no one came over to disturb his work.
Only the black cat jumped on the table slowly, shook in front of him, poked his head out, and looked at Jiang Chenchuan's writing movements in confusion.
Barras looked hesitant not far away, whether to come over and take the kitten.
After writing something, Jiang Chenchuan skillfully folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope, he looked at the kitten lying in his hand, stretched out his hand and touched its head.
He also wanted to wait for a report on the witch's body, and as soon as it came out, he set off for Ronalk City.
A new journey is about to begin, but I can't be happy, it's gloomy outside the window, I don't know if there will be snow, the city is shrouded in a thin gray fog, and I can't tell whether it's a haze or a dark cloud of rain.
After dinner, Berlito didn't dare to bother Jiang Chenchuan, so he had to go to Barras for trouble, and neither of the two would let anyone, except for Ethan, there was really no one to cure Berito.
It's just that he can only see his smile after he learned that Jiang Chenchuan took revenge on his clansmen.
There is so much hatred that it is difficult to judge the matter, no matter whose position it is.
There was a knock on the door, and the activities in the house stopped all of a sudden, and the gold in Berito's eyes flashed, Seeing Jiang Chenchuan get up, he didn't say anything
Opened the door and found a stranger standing outside, only to know when I asked, he seemed to be a museum staff, in order to prevent impostor, Jiang Chenchuan also specially asked him to show the museum's work card.
specially sent Jiang Chenchuan an autopsy report about the witch, and it happened to open the door in early winter and bumped into this scene.
"It's you."
Early Winter's eyes instantly became vigilant, but when the other party saw Early Winter, his face was full of surprise.
"Your Spell Marks ......"
Early Winter subconsciously wanted to cover her eyes, but because the curse was lifted, she hadn't worn an eye patch for several days.
"Tell me! How was it lifted! ”
The whole person pounced, Jiang Chenchuan could probably guess that he should be a member of the Witch Sect, but the museum's work card could not be faked.
Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
