Chapter 142: Departure and Return (Two Chapters in One)
"Meow~"
At home, Yumi is happily chasing butterflies that she caught while picking up a newspaper.
After playing for a while, after getting tired of playing, Yumi gently pushed open the bedroom door.
Looking at Yorkham Jones and Jingqing, who were lying on the bed and sleeping, Yomi shook her head and closed the door again.
"Hungry... What should I eat..."
After muttering a few words, Yumi's eyes suddenly flashed, and she seemed to have thought of a good idea, so she walked to the kitchen.
The TV in the living room was broadcasting the weather forecast, and it was the morning of December 16, and the last time Yorkham Jones went out with him was on the 14th.
...
In St. Cotin's Square, the previous protests and riots have completely disappeared, and there are not even a few people to be seen, and the streets look very depressed.
In the 'Sweetheart Red' coffee shop, a pure white girl is lazily leaning on a leather chair, and next to her, a long-haired girl wearing a long black dress, her hair and eyes are also jet black, and she is leaning on the shoulders of a pure white girl.
"Those two dolls, are you really going to make them into extraordinary props?" asked the woman in black with a yawn.
"I haven't thought about it yet..."
Shaking her head, the pure white girl pinched the girl's face:
"Don't you hurry up and leave, beware of the sudden return of the Holy Maiden Daya, who will slash you with a sword. ”
"Hee-hee, I'm dead anyway, and you're the one who is sad, and 'Joy' never hurts. ”
The woman in the black dress is the 'joy' of getting out of the polluted world, she looks no different from ordinary girls, at most she is smaller in stature and her face is more delicate.
At this moment, a bald man in a black suit walked in with a young girl in a dress.
Walking up to the pure white girl and 'Joy', the bald man said:
"When you came out, you forgot to bring your things with you. ”
'Pleasure' the girl immediately pursed her lips and complained:
"Are you talking about those big things, I'm only responsible for creating them, such ugly things, I don't touch them, I'm saying, it seems that the people who killed them were the people of your organization. ”
Then, 'Joy' looked at the girl in the dress next to her:
"What's your name, new sister?"
"Island wind. The girl bowed slightly in respect.
"I love the name... You can call me 'Pleasure' sister. ”
When the bald man heard this, he immediately shook his head and said:
"That's it, Mr. 0 told you to leave the Norkeland Kingdom as soon as possible. ”
After speaking, the bald man walked to the door with Island Wind.
"I'm not from your organization, besides, this is my home!"
Muttering, 'Joy' shouted to the island wind who walked to the door:
"Little sister, come on, grow up quickly, and then we can go eat the night. ”
"Yes. Island Feng looked back and smiled, and walked out of the door slowly.
After a while, the pure white girl took a sip of her coffee, and suddenly covered her face with her hands and kissed her.
The black and pure white crystal silk threads were pulled a few times, and the pure white girl spoke:
"You should leave, and while you can use 'stealth' to hide yourself, Jonson is the home of light and night, and there's Angel Wings that are very much aimed at you. ”
"What about you?" the 'Pleasure' girl continued, and the bird leaned on the pillow of the pure white girl.
"I've got a few stories left to finish, and when I'm done, I'll go to you. The pure white girl replied gently.
"Okay~Okay~"
'Joy' stretched his waist complainingly, and kissed the pure white girl again:
"Then hurry up, I'm still waiting to enjoy the 'lust' authority with you~"
When the words fell, I saw the pure white girl raise her little fist and hit her, and 'Joy' hurriedly dodged out of her seat, and then disappeared with a wave of her little hand.
After the 'pleasure' left, the pure white girl frowned slightly, and then knocked her own trouble a few times with her small fist:
"Headache..."
"The workload is too much, and I have to ask the boss to raise his salary... Otherwise, I won't be able to raise this snack at all..."
Then, the pure white girl took out a book without a name and wrote it.
...
Monastery of the Holy Light, deep in the Inquisition.
Under the relief, in addition to Dale, the knight of Lahail and the librarian Robert also stopped quietly to look up.
After a while, Dale retracted her gaze and sighed:
"'Joy' escaped, the Deno district was completely destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people died, it seems that we Nocklands don't like to move on a boat..."
"At least the pollution is completely solved, and there is no need to use the 'angel wings', and most of the people who die constitute a crime. Lahair replied coldly.
"Hey... That's a human life, not a number. ”
Robert next to him sighed, then took out a few pages of papers and handed them to Dale and Laher:
"According to the information that came in, the organizer of the bombing in Deno was 'Hornby Ike', a graduate of St. Cotin's College, a 'Singer of Fate', and he was the one who dealt with the pollution, but he was completely dead. ”
"It's funny that it was just a student who caused such a big incident, and he died. ”
Daile sneered and said:
"The 'Dream Maker' who first appeared, I also met the 'World Shaper' when I went out this time, and now I am involved in a 'Destiny Singer' who died..."
"The three sons of fate have all been gathered, it's really lively..."
"According to the information from the Dark Court, 'Fear' has awakened first, and now 'Joy' has also broken the seal, the incident of the two demigods and demons, is this information used to perfunctory children?"
"Hah..."
Robert also laughed:
"Whether it's the 'nobles' or the 'St. Cotin Academy', they must know the inside story of these things, even if they don't take the initiative to help, they should help hide these things, otherwise we wouldn't be so passive..."
"You're right, we Nochlands seem to like to go our own way. ”
Lahair, who was on the side, listened, and suddenly interjected:
"It's useless to say more, everything has been settled, the royal family has given a clear answer, and the people who organized the bombing this time have been posted in the newspaper..."
"But our danger is not over yet, at least until Her Excellency returns, we still need to be vigilant!"
"In the past few days, the tree of life has undergone a slight change, and I can feel that something is coming against us. ”
Dai Er immediately snorted coldly:
"Really... I don't think it's over."
"But you're right, wait for Your Excellency to return! When the time comes, she will make a judgment, and I want to see how many people can pass through the gate of light. ”
Hearing the words 'Gate of Light', Lahaile and Robert next to them suddenly fell silent and raised their heads again to look at the relief.
After a while, there was a sudden burst of out-of-tune laughter in the darkness:
"Yo~ My good friends, you seem to be in trouble, it seems that I came back at the right time. ”
The voice fell, and a point of light suddenly flashed in the darkness.
The man was dressed in a white priest's uniform with a badge of light around his neck, similar to what Yorkham Jones had dressed at work, but he was thinner and white-skinned.
After glancing at it, Daile immediately squinted her eyes and asked:
"Vlad... Is your evangelistic journey over?"
"Presiding Judge, a beautiful journey has no goal or end, and if I want to come back, it will be over. ”
Then, Vlad dodged to the bottom of the relief.
Looking up a few times, Vlad suddenly sighed:
"Is the way of light really in there?"
Lahair immediately lifted the knight's sword in his hand and 'sacrificed':
"Vlad, be careful. ”
Vlad immediately glared back:
"Lahair, did you steal the 'sacrifice', and how could Your Excellency give it to you, a hateful fellow?"
Lahair didn't answer Vlad, just twitched the corners of his mouth a few times.
Seeing this, Vlad looked at Robert with a smile:
"Thank you, Mr. Robert, for helping me to preside over the prayer meetings of the monastery during this time, and I have prepared a special gift for you. ”
The wrinkles on Robert's face immediately trembled, and he hurriedly replied:
"These are just small things, just the gifts..."
At this moment, a figure ran out of the darkness again.
"Wow! You're all there!"
In the Monastery of the Holy Light, there could be no second person other than Lux who dared to be so bold.
After a glance, Lux saluted her mother, Dale, and ran directly to Vlad's side:
"Uncle Vlad, did you bring me a present?"
"Of course!"
Vlad nodded happily and looked at the three friends next to him:
"Hehe, I'll bring it to you too, and we'll go with you later?"
"I'm going to guard the Tree of Life, forget about the gifts..."The corners of Laher's mouth twitched a few more times, and then he turned and left.
"I also have a job in my library... As for gifts, you can give them to the Light Believers on my behalf. The wrinkles on Robert's face curled up a few times before leaving.
"I also have something... Give it to Lux as a gift..."In the end, Dale thought for a long time, and couldn't think of a reason, so she could only prevaricate casually, but she walked almost the fastest.
Watching the three friends leave one after another, Vlad's face was already full of black lines.
After a while, Vlad couldn't help but look at Lux aggrievedly:
"Isn't my gift very problematic? why except for the first time, after that. They don't want any?"
Lux immediately replied happily:
"No, no, they don't, you can give it all to me! I love your gift!"
"Okay!
Nodding, Vlad couldn't help but snort coldly:
"Hmph! I've been preparing this gift for a long time, they don't want it, it's their loss! Don't come back crying when the time comes!"
Vlad then led Lux towards the outside of the monastery, and as he went, introduced the gifts:
"On the shores of the Southridge, I came across a strange kind of rat with a lot of lumps on them, and these lumps contained a lot of cheese, but they just stinked..."
"Also, in the Forest of Plenty, I have collected a strange creature, and every time it encounters danger, it immediately binds its master..."
"I also found a strange fish on a small island with wings..."
...
"Ah~ha~"
With a long yawn, Yorkham Jones opened his eyes, the longest he had slept since crossing into the Fourth Age, naturally because he was too tired.
From the 14th, for more than a day in a row, he barely rested, even in the toy town, his body was struggling to do things.
As soon as Yorkham Jones shook his head, the cute little head of Jingqing immediately came in from the door:
"Jones, what would you like to eat?"
"Get some porridge and some stew, and make me a cup of coffee. ”
In reply, Yorkham Jones asked:
"What time is it?"
"It's the night of the 16th. In reply, the cutie immediately jumped and ran towards the kitchen.
"I actually slept for more than ten hours..."
Muttering, Yorkham Jones got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as he sat down, Yomi jumped onto Yorkham Jones's lap with a few newspapers in her mouth, and said:
"Meow~ I bring up the newspaper every day!"
"Thanks, next time I go out, I'll buy you some candy as a reward. ”
Yorkham Jones gently rubbed Yomi's belly, and then directly picked up the 'Iovada Royal Newspaper' and watched it.
"A day of grief for the Kingdom of Nochland. ”
The title is written in blood-colored font and looks almost like blood is flowing.
The overall background of the newspaper is gray, and layers of flocculent particles are printed everywhere in the newspaper, which looks full of death and sadness.
Underneath the title, in bold black:
"December 15 at 3:15 a.m."
"Please remember this time, at this point in time, we have lost 358654 of our compatriots!"
"It's not numbers, they're all lives, they have their own lives, they have parents, they have children, they laugh, they cry, they're the same as you. ”
If it weren't for the fact that Yorkham Jones knew that these slum people didn't even count into the national census, he might have been moved to tears.
There was a lot of sadness and helplessness in the heart of Yorkham Jones, and it was a sad joke that these once abandoned lives, when they died, were suddenly remembered.
Jokham Jones then skipped the sensationalist narrative and looked straight to the second half of the newspaper.
Printed on it is a portrait, Hornby's, with the words 'This man is the author of the Big Bang' in very obvious letters, and below the portrait, countless names are written in bold.
"Mr. Hornby... Indeed, you are considered criminals against humanity..."
Then, Yorkham Jones picked up another copy of the 'Ioda Royal'. ’
The newspaper was still gray, and the information about the bombing was still written at the beginning, but only a small part of it, and most of the space was written with various words of reform.
"The Automobile Adoption Act... Industrial Pollution Treatment Act... The Customs Act... Slum Rights Bill..."
Looking at the conspicuous headlines, Yorkham Jones couldn't help but laugh a few times:
"It's really fast, as soon as the explosion happened, everything was pushed down..."
