Chapter 81: Daily Life Before the Storm
"Jingle Bell—"
A crisp bell rang, and it was the prompt of the newspaper being delivered to the mailbox hanging on the door.
Ji Yan opened the door and looked up, the staff who delivered the newspaper had already walked away, and only saw a small figure.
There weren't a few people on the street at the moment, but there were a few more people than yesterday.
The matter of the imperial capital blockade, although for a while the citizens who had never experienced this were caught off guard.
But after a brief panic, the commoners, with the exception of the nobles and the wealthy, found that it seemed to have little effect on their lives.
Even if there were, it wouldn't change anything.
Those who should come out to make money still have to come out to make money, and no money means no next meal.
The Occult College of the Imperial University where Ji Yan attended was also temporarily suspended, for reasons unknown.
When he heard that the imperial capital was closed, he also thought that something big had happened.
And the connection between what has happened recently makes him feel that this matter is becoming more and more difficult.
Ji Yan took the newspaper, pondered it, and then took the door with him.
In the living room, which is not very large, there is a dining table that is not very large.
It was a simple breakfast, and the chair was pushed a few minutes away at some point, so that Ji Yan could sit directly on it without using his hands.
A black hazy shadow was teasing the morning sun shining through the window at the moment.
It cautiously held out a hand, then slowly leaned over.
The shadow's hand doesn't seem to have five fingers, it's just a round lump.
I saw it reach into the sunlight, and the black hand began to slowly emit ethereal black smoke, and then gradually faded, almost transparent.
The shadow withdrew his hand and placed it in front of him, curiously looking at the disappearing hand.
It doesn't seem to feel anything about it.
However, after being separated from the sunlight, there is a black substance in the body that rushes to the arm.
Fill it in like ink entering a clear liquid.
The shadow seems to have discovered a new continent and is constantly playing back and forth there.
Ji Yan entered the dining table, looked at the exquisite breakfast in front of him, and then looked around.
Although the house is not big, it is also full of the feeling of home, and there is a warm current flowing in my heart for a while.
Accidentally caught a glimpse of the shadow that was entertaining himself, and sighed at its innocence, which was an experience that Ji Yan had never had.
So he decided to let the shadow roll around the floor and clean it.
Shadow: (*・-・)
Ji Yan began to enjoy the delicious breakfast from the shadow production, and then spread the newspaper delivered today on the table.
"Shocked!!"
"The reason for the blockade of the imperial capital turned out to be because??"
With just one glance, the title chosen by [Imperial Capital Times] made him dream back to his past life.
Ji Yan immediately looked at it with interest.
"According to reliable sources, known as the jewel in the crown, the youngest daughter of the Emperor - Princess Christine."
"He fell into a coma yesterday and does not seem to show any signs of awakening so far."
"No one knows what happened to Princess Christine."
"But she was in a coma, and her delicate cheeks were still rosy, as if she had just fallen asleep."
"However, we all know that the respected emperor likes this little daughter the most, so he has invited all the scholars and famous doctors to come to diagnose it, but we don't know what kind of condition it is."
"Will she sleep for long?"
“……”
"According to reliable sources, it was someone who caused Princess Christine to fall asleep this time."
"The Emperor was furious about this, smashed a pair of treasures that had been passed down for thousands of years in the palace, and then ordered the murderer to be arrested."
"But they're staying in the city and haven't gone out yet."
"And this is the reason for the lockdown, but I believe it will be lifted soon."
"May the Lord of Light bless our beautiful and charming Princess Christine."
"Let's pray together for her and bless her through this unfortunate disaster."
Ji Yan looked at the news on the [Imperial Capital Times] and frowned.
It has been made clear above that it was Princess Christine's accident that caused the lockdown.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Or is there a correlation between the two.
Ji Yan was thoughtful, and then turned on his system.
At the top is Eve's prayer, which, as is customary, is only halfway through the prayer and then disappears.
And this time it seems to be even briefer, just singing the praises of the Lord of Dusk, and before he has time to report his situation, he will cut it off directly.
This made Ji Yan's expression a little strange.
Underneath Eve is Alice.
Ji Yan immediately recalled that the little girl who had always wanted to be friends with the second account.
It's not clear how she's doing at the moment.
Ji Yan originally planned to look for some information over there to see the effect.
But because of this lockdown, I can only give up and stay at home.
……
"Hello, you can hear me."
In one of the rooms of the secret meeting, Eve looked carefully at her chest with her small head lowered and her eyes as wide as emeralds.
More accurately, look at the heart.
"I don't know your name yet?"
Eve's eyelashes twitched, she knew that there was something in her heart from the Lord of Dusk, and there seemed to be a hint of intelligence.
After these events, Eve wants to communicate with the cubes and try to communicate and solve the problem together.
But the cube was extremely cold, ignoring her pleas.
Seeing that the communication was fruitless, Eve had to give up the idea for the time being.
She hadn't seen Sister Sophia since yesterday.
I heard from my grandmother that my sister was studying hard.
So even if you grow up, do you need to study hard?
Eve sat on the chair and swayed her white calves, which could already be seen to be a little longer fleshy than before.
Not only the legs, but Eve has also gained some weight, not as thin as before.
Eve looked at the decoration of the room, a little distracted.
In addition to Sister Sophia, there is also a grandmother who seems to be a little anxious.
Is something happening?
At this moment, Eve has no idea what is happening outside.
