book of old days

Chapter 268

Sean slept very restlessly, he tossed and turned, his mind was drowsy, and his back was like a light, but he didn't know where this anxiety came from, until a smooth body slipped into his arms.

"Hey, did you miss me?" the body voice whispered in his ear.

Sean knew it was Yulia without looking, her body was always so smooth and resilient.

Why is she here?An idea popped up in Sean's mind, but then he ran it to the back of his mind, and the two began to merge, and soon became indistinguishable from each other.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something, a shock, struggling to leave the woman's arms, but Yulia's arms had already hugged him tightly.

Her face was slowly split from the middle, and worms were wriggling under the skin. Xiao En wanted to stand up in fear, but it was too late, his lower body was entangled tightly by worms, and countless worms got into his skin, Into his flesh and blood, the two are closely connected together, regardless of each other.

"Did you miss me?" Yulia whispered in his ear, and her tongue got into his ear...

"Ah!" Sean sat up abruptly from the bed, and didn't realize that everything just now was just a dream until the focus was restored. His body is not sweating now, but deep down, the fear has become more intense. To be honest, the sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains, making it look very dim. He hurriedly opened the curtains to let the sunlight outside the window shine on his body. The sunlight didn't have much warmth, but it still shook his heart and somewhat dispelled the tension in his heart. fear.

Huh, it really lingers.

Sean sighed, trying not to recall what happened in Sword Castle.

After breakfast, Sean walked aimlessly on the streets of Bran City.

Compared with Sword Castle, the streets of Bran City are much wider and more magnificent. The layout of the buildings is magnificent, and most of them have classical elegance and extra decorations, which is an elegance that Sword Castle does not have.

Swordsburg was an industrial city, a new city developed from universities and factories, and it often reminded him of modern society.

However, Bran City still retains the historical traces of the Kingdom of Brighton and the classical style of the kingdom.

Sean walked in this city full of historical details, as if he had come to another country.

It's a pity that today's timing doesn't seem right, everyone is hurrying to and fro on the street, most of the shops are closed, the street is empty and quiet, adding to the bleakness.

Sean knew why. What happened in Sword Castle had far-reaching effects. Fear spread like wildfire. Despite the continuous suppression of the authorities, people still couldn't restore the peace of the past.

A child was holding a stack of thick newspapers and was struggling to walk through the street. Sean called him to stop and bought a newspaper with two copper coins.

Just stood on the side of the road and watched.

[This month's consultation: The contagious disease in Sword Castle has not subsided. The Brighton Kingdom authorities have imposed a complete blockade on the city and appeal to the people not to go there at will. 】

[This morning: The president of the Institute of Rationality received a consultation in the parliament and declared that everything is under control. The Institute of Rationality is doing its best to research the treatment plan for this disease, and it is hoped that the social order will be restored as soon as possible. 】

[International Consultation: Riots broke out in the kingdom of Faris. It is said that the cause of the riots is related to the storm that destroyed the port this month. 】

[This month: Kalam Psychiatric Center is overwhelmed, the Minister of Health calls on the authorities to allocate funds to build a new hospital to accommodate the increasing number of patients with lunacy...]

Sean read the newspaper from beginning to end, and sighed in disappointment. He originally thought that the Society of Rationalism would have someone behind him. It stands to reason that such an organization with such a profound background had mastered extraordinary power hundreds of years ago. There will always be some hidden strengths.

He even felt for a time that maybe what happened in Jianbao was simply a big chess game played by the Rational Society, with some kind of far-reaching purpose.

However, the more time passed, the more he felt that this possibility became less and less.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the Society of Rationality to do nothing now, right?
In his opinion, all the coping methods learned by rationality are clumsy, passive, and rigid. Except for a few low-level people who are still working hard, most people don't even have much effective response.

Everything looks like a farce.

He threw the newspaper into the trash can beside him, and the newsboy who hadn't gone far ran over immediately, picked up the newspaper, and stuffed it back into the bundle of newspapers.

Sean continued walking until he was attracted by the dim yellow lights of a house.

He pushed the door and walked in. At a time like this, having a glass of beer is always a way to relax.

To his surprise, he met an acquaintance here.

Martin Warnes was standing on a table in the corner at this time, hugging his shoulders nervously, his old windbreaker was wrinkled, his face was dirty, his eyes were a little swollen, and he looked like he hadn't seen him for a long time. Asleep, there was a glass of beer that was almost finished and a plate of spicy jerky in front of him.

When Sean looked at him, Martin Warnes also looked at Sean.

He immediately stood up in surprise, and then showed a hesitant look.

Sean walked over. He looked at Martin Warnes, but suddenly understood the mentality of the interrogator when he was interrogated.

Although reuniting after a long absence is a happy thing, he still couldn't help asking: "How did you escape from Sword Castle?"

"Don't mention it!" Martin Vaughan's tone was a little trembling, as if he was still terrified, "I abandoned everything, spent all my savings to buy a horse, and then ran non-stop until noon the next day I didn't stop until the horse was exhausted, and by then I had reached Gunther, where I rested for a few hours before buying a train ticket to Bran.

Arrived in Bran three days ago and have been stuck here ever since.

"Didn't the police in Bran make things difficult for you?"

"No, the police only intercept people coming from Sword Castle. I took the train from Gunther, so..."

Sean was silent for a while. He suddenly felt that it might not be really safe to go to Bran City. With such a bad security management, if there are really symbiotes mixed in...

He looked at the drinkers drinking and chatting around him, the atmosphere in the tavern was unusually peaceful, but he seemed to see someone's face split open suddenly, and countless worms drilled out of it, turning the city into a hell demon.

Hey!Martin patted Sean on the shoulder, making him startled.

Martin seemed to know Sean's feelings very well. He lowered his voice and whispered in Sean's ear, "Listen, I'm going to leave Brighton, go to Faris, or West Flanders, maybe Sharpe. It might not be that scary, maybe it will subside soon, who knows, but honestly, after seeing that scene, I would rather stay away.

Do you want to come with me? "

Sean hesitated, "I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it."

"Then you'd better hurry up. I've booked the boat ticket for the day after tomorrow. During this time, I'll be staying in the hotel opposite. If you want to go with me, come and find me before I leave. We don't count as acquaintances." It's been too long, but I think you are a reliable person, maybe we can take risks together abroad, maybe we can make a fortune or something."
