[120] The Silent One Lurks in Toklandas (Part [-])

"Your matter has not been reported for the time being, and this is also our opinion at the top. So we still have room for maneuver—but except for the two points I just mentioned." Sennyman asked her, "Do you have anything else to do now?" What do you want to say?"

"I can't leave my child." Nellie shook her head slowly.

"You only have two choices now," Senniman said, "either hand over your Naravel and send him to the underground world, and let him earn a living for himself like Lutauk; or, let Stowell take him with him and leave Toklandas—if you agree, I will find a way to send them to the northern city-state and find a place for them."

"Neraville can't leave..." She kept muttering as if she didn't hear Senniman's words.After a while, she seemed to think of something again, raised her head and asked Sennyman, "How do you know his name is Nairavel?" Her eyes were filled with incredible disappointment, "It was Stor who told you?"

"We haven't contacted Stowell yet. He probably doesn't know what's going on here." Sennyman looked at the clock on the wall and added, "You'd better make a decision within five hours. When he comes, it won't be convenient for us to talk."

"Isn't it him? Could it be...Delana?" When Neriwen said the name, even the corners of her mouth trembled.

"We can't disclose the name of the whistleblower, please forgive me." When Sennyman said this, there was still a faint smile on his face.

Senniman's words made Nellie feel like falling into an ice cave—according to her, she was betrayed by De Lana?

What is she for?

Nellie closed her eyes, her face pale as paper.

If De Lana had told all the truth, her struggle would have been superfluous.Senniman gave Neriwin two paths, but in fact there is only one. It is not difficult to make a choice, but the difficulty is the consequences that will be faced later.

"It's not that you and Stowell will have a chance to meet again in the future." Sennyman threw out another sentence, "Of course, if you want him to go back underground with his child, it's easier, isn't it? ?”

"You don't have to threaten me with such words." Neriwen closed her eyes, but she couldn't calm down the restlessness in her heart.If a person needs to make a major decision in a short period of time, careful thinking will become a luxury. Compared with considering the possible consequences, getting rid of the immediate suffering situation is more important.

After a while, Neriwen finally made a decision, "I agree to let Stowell take him away, but you have to assure me that the two of them...will not be persecuted by the city-state."

"I promise." Sennyman still maintained a faint smile, "But in fact, you have no choice."

Nellie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up from the floor, and was extremely depressed.She sat beside the sleeping Nairavel, touching her son's face with trembling hands.

The little guy's face was so tender, she couldn't bear to leave him.

After another two months, the location was at the administrative office of Huaihua District.After the incident, Delana finally saw Neriwen again.

Neriwen seemed to have returned to her pre-pregnancy appearance. In early summer, she was wearing a light-colored thin skirt and was walking towards the main entrance of the hall.As if she had sensed other people's gazes, she turned her head and happened to meet the eyes of De Lanna who was standing on the other side of the asphalt road.De Lana turned her eyes subconsciously, not daring to meet her gaze, but when she looked back again, Neriwen had already left.

De Lana didn't know her new address—Neliwen had moved out of the detached house she had lived in for a long time—and the two hadn't known each other since that incident.De Lana couldn't explain anything to her, and she didn't regret her decision at the time.

She still remembers what happened that day.The situation at that time was terrible. While she verbally reported Neriwen's illegal behavior to the Law Enforcement Bureau, she pleaded for her incoherently, hoping that they would forgive her friends who were like sisters.Judging from the results, the current situation couldn't be better—she couldn't persuade her to turn back, and she didn't want to see the other party degenerate. She would rather break with him than leave without saying goodbye one day, and never find her again.

Stowell and Naravel were sent to the north, and they left quietly.Neriwen watched them get on the long-distance train under the escort of the law enforcement officers, and headed for a certain city-state in Beizhong.

In the following year, every move of Neriwen has been secretly monitored by the law enforcement officers - if you obey the law, then everything in the city-state is friendly and beautiful, but as long as you make a mistake, what you have Everything can be trampled on.People need to pay the bill for their own mistakes. This principle couldn’t be more obvious, but when Neriwen was really in it, she couldn’t help but feel confused——do people really have to pay such a high price for atonement? ?

Every week, she makes a trip to the local law enforcement bureau to fill out a useless form—how is she feeling?How is the quality of sleep?Have you expressed concern to your friends and colleagues? ——There are a lot of similar questions.In addition, her home is often searched by law enforcement officers from time to time. Whether it is the ornaments on the bedside, the potted plants on the window sill, or the utensils in the kitchen, they have to pick them up and take a closer look. Even the medical records and diaries she put in the drawer have to be opened and carefully read and checked page by page.What the law enforcement officers did tortured her mentally—even if she locked the door and drew all the curtains, she still couldn't let herself relax. "Home" is no longer sacred to Neriwen, and the minions of the city-state trample on her private territory recklessly.In her opinion, they didn't really want to get any suspicious clues, they just wanted to humiliate her and intimidate her so that she would never dare to do anything out of line in the future, and they were good at satisfying themselves with universal justice.

The effects of alcohol and drugs temporarily eased her aversion to reality, so she became more and more dependent on them.Ever since she lost Naravel, a feeling of deep-rooted loneliness has always disturbed her mind and left her itchy and suffocating.At this time, she would drink a large glass of strong wine that she didn't like to drink before. The amber liquid was pungent and greasy, burning her internal organs, and the dizziness that followed came back in time. Suppresses bodily protests against alcoholic poisons.She is intoxicated by this blissful feeling, just need to fill a large glass, she can temporarily put aside decency and dignity, let go of reason and emotion - or hug the sofa and cry, or keep talking about Naira The names of Weier and Sto, or throwing objects around them everywhere...

The city-state people have no concept of family affection, and the friends around them are their closest people.De Lana's betrayal left her thinking she could no longer trust anyone—and now Nellie was not only alone, she was cornered.

A living person will be confused, sad, and angry. Negative emotions will make people unhappy, but no matter whether their ideals are disillusioned or life is farewell, most people will finally compromise with reality and learn to adapt to failure and suffering—but if the burden If it is too heavy to break through the spiritual dilemma, despair will grow like moss everywhere and is difficult to eradicate; if regret and pain can never be exhausted, the only thing that can make people feel relaxed in the end is self-destruction. For a desperate person, to feel their own withering, is actually a very exciting thing.Neriwen has nothing now, and in this world, she herself has become the only target she can release her desire for revenge.She made herself scarred and dilapidated; she felt sorry for herself and gloated at the same time; she tore apart the pendant Stowell gave her, and after a few days she silently picked up the dregs and wept; Just a pillow, imagine it as her own Nairaville, and keep telling her miss-she hates herself for being rational until now, it would be great if she was crazy, she wanted to kill herself with a knife, But I am afraid that I will never see the person I want to see again.

In the city-state, Neriwen's appearance is extremely intimidating to others. Even the law enforcement officers on night patrol will feel unspeakably depressed when they see such a scene by chance, and can't help but sympathize with her experience.

One day half a year later, she smashed the tea table that had been with her for more than ten years to pieces. The sharp glass shards scratched her arm and pierced into the sole of her foot, causing her to faint on the spot.Law enforcement officers received a call from someone with a heart, so they went out and broke into her house.The living room seemed to have experienced a typhoon, and it was in a mess.The fragments on the floor reflected a bright red color under the light. Neriwen was lying on the sofa, a little delirious, she smelled of alcohol, and the blood from the wound was all over the place.

After seeing this scene, the law enforcement officers in Huaihua District felt a little overwhelmed—even when they were arresting traitors and fugitives, they had never felt so disturbed before.

In the ward, Neriwen woke up, and she saw Sennyman at first sight.Nellie Wen hadn't seen her since the two made their agreement that day.

"Hi, how are you?" Neriwen grinned as soon as he saw her, a smug look on his face.

Senniman sighed, and shook his head helplessly at her, "You don't need to act like this to me. You know, I wasn't the one who made you like this—I saved you at the beginning, but you now But I don’t know how to cherish it.”

"Treasure?" Nellie smiled, "You should give me a good time."

The light in the ward was dim, and Sunnyman glanced at her, got up and went to the window, and opened half of the thick silver curtains.The sun was hanging slantingly on the horizon, and it was almost evening. The captain turned and leaned against the window sill. The warm golden sun shone on the woman's shoulders, reflecting her long hair like fire.

"They won't go to your house to make trouble anymore." Sunnyman said lightly, "Do you know why law enforcement always like to make trouble for you?"

Nellie closed her eyes and didn't respond to her question.

"Because we are afraid that you will run away. I know you don't like the city-state. As long as you have the opportunity, you will definitely escape. We monitor your behavior and search your things to ensure that you have not made corresponding preparations."

"If you don't trust me so much, you should act in accordance with the laws of the city-state and lock me up."

"Neliwen, you are still an official." Senniman said, "It is because you are still useful that you can see me again and have the capital to bargain with me-don't you want to know the whereabouts of Nairavel?"

"So you want me to help you?" Nellie raised her eyebrows.

Senniman stopped talking, she stared at Neriwen's side face, trying to read some useful signals from her expression.She spent such a long time, trying every means to wear down Neriwen's will, but she never thought that even though her emotions had already collapsed, this person's intuition was still so keen.

"What are you doing? Is there anything I need you to do?" Sennyman chuckled and turned his head to the side.

"No need to pretend, let's talk about it, right now." Nellie sat up from the bed with difficulty, her arm was still bandaged, and there was an unpleasant smell of medicine on it.

Senniman's heart pounded when he heard her words.

"Where do you want to put people? If that's what you're talking about, I can really help." Nellie glanced at her, "If I got it wrong, then I apologize to you, forgive me for treating you as a... ...a mean and shameless villain."

"We'll talk about this later." Sunnyman smiled and was not offended by her words. She said, "The Law Enforcement Bureau does have a need for this, but it's just for the safety of the city-state. You know, the rebel leader back then..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Neriwen interrupted her very roughly.

"Okay, then let's talk about the key points." Sunnyman nodded, "I can say, but I don't guarantee it."

"You say." She was a little impatient.

"Those two are living well now, and Stowell can support himself and his children. As for where they are now, I still can't tell you."

"How do you prove that what you say is true?"

"Not now, after a few years, I can arrange someone to secretly bring them back, so you can meet them."

Nellie's eyes widened, and a line of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"But I also said that there is no guarantee - whether you can see them in the future depends entirely on performance."

"Okay, I'll wait." Nellie stared at Sennyman's face, and said these words through gritted teeth.

Today, Nellie has no loyalty to the city-state.

Compared with the big family of "Toclandas", Neriwen needs the small family formed by her, Stowell and Nairaville more - it is warmer and more relaxing there.

With the boundary between family and country, there will be unclear contradictions, and the seeds of selfishness are rooted in this.For Naravel, in the face of "public" and "private", Neriwen has never hesitated in her choice.

Since the two met in the ward, Nellie Wen's life has returned to the right track again, and she no longer thinks about torturing herself—at least she thinks—it is still necessary to live.

[121] The Silent One Lurks in Toklandas (Part [-])

"Hey, wake up!" Yate's voice sounded in Hawein's ear.

Harvey turned over, opened his eyes, and there was a blinding white light above his head.

"What's wrong?" Harvey asked, yawning and rubbing his temples.

"The alcohol in the clinic has been consumed too quickly recently, where is it all used?"

"How do I know." Harvey got off the couch and washed his face.While washing, he said to Yiyate, "You should go to Satalo for this matter, she is the person in charge here."

"Oh, Shatalo wrote me a three-page letter, writing down all your 'crimes'." The little Iyate shook her head, "She wants me to 'invite' you out of her clinic."

"It's a good thing." Harvey wiped his face.

"By the way, I also paid for the drink." Because of his indifferent attitude, Yi Yate was a little unhappy.

"Drink money?" Harvey laughed. "As if I was paid."

After saying this, the two stared at each other in silence for a while.Suddenly, Yiyate laughed, and the little one was particularly contagious when he laughed—as if she was casting a magic that could make the corners of the opponent's mouth rise.

"I really have something to give you." Yiyate raised her hand, and a black long sword appeared in her hand.

"Eft gave me this 'Ofissen' a long time ago, and I was still wondering why she gave me something I didn't need at all. Now that I think about it, she It was actually prepared for you."

Harveyne's gaze shifted from the sword to her arm.Yate had already lost both arms, and as a substitute, a pair of golden prosthetics filled the vacancy below the elbows.Although these prosthetic limbs made of rare metals are beautiful, they are no better than real arms. Although they can cope with daily activities, they will be affected when casting some magic, and their strength and power are also limited, so they cannot be used in combat. , and cannot lift heavy objects.Harvey never asked her about her past—the relationship between the two was not close enough to talk to each other.

"Thanks." Harvey took the long sword from her hand and put it back into his storage container.

"If you were holding the 'Saleti' at that time, the law enforcement officers of the city-state would definitely not be able to keep you. As a result, you took a broken knife with a gap, which couldn't even cut through the wall... So, the sword Woolen cloth?"

"Stay in Ilinozan." Harvey replied.

"Yes——stayed in her ice coffin?" Yiyate smiled, "It's the same as I guessed, but I think you'd better put less things in her."

"How to say?"

"Maybe in the future, there will be batch after batch of expedition teams who will treat Mount Illinozan as a relic and go sightseeing and treasure hunting in her tomb."

"Don't worry too much, ordinary people can't enter that place, and those who can go won't need the things inside."

The two were talking when a five or six-year-old girl opened the door and entered the clinic.She ran between the two of them without speaking, but looked up at Harvein.The little girl was very delicate, wearing a light pink dress, with slightly curly long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes were round and big, she looked very cute, like a doll.

"Oh, you're here." Harvey glanced at the little one, nodded to her, and then walked towards the medicine cabinet, while the little girl silently followed behind him.

The tacit understanding between the two made Yi Yat very surprised. She didn't understand how Narank's daughter could have a relationship with Harvein.

"What's the matter, Sika? Are you sick?" Yiate also walked to the medicine cabinet, and asked her, squatting down.

The little girl's name was Sicaphne, and she shook her head.

"It's just for candy." Harvey opened the medicine cabinet, "It's really strange—no matter where the clinic is, you can always find such a jar of candy..."

Even the jars are similar in shape, round and fat.

"For these kids, sugar is the cure-all."

Harvey opened the lid of the sugar bowl, poured out a large handful of waxed paper wrapped candy, and handed it to Sigaphne.The little girl stared at the brightly colored candies, but she froze in place, not daring to reach out to pick them up.

"What's the matter, don't want it?" Harvey took a paper bag from the side, put the candy in it, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.He patted Sijia Funi on the head and said, "You can't take advantage of that dumb girl. When I leave, you will have fewer chances to eat sweets."

Yiyate opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Sika Funi walked out of the clinic step by step with the bag of candies in her hands, but just as she was out the door, she turned back.

"What's the matter?" Harvey asked her.

"Monard asked me to come and get the medicine." The little girl said in a word.

"Is it for Candelilan?"

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Okay, received."

Harvey took out a pack of medicine from the desk drawer of the clinic's owner Satallo and handed it to Sijia Funi.Harvey asked her with a smile, "This one is sweet, this one is bitter, which one do you want?"

Sijiafuni glanced at the sugar bag in her right hand, and pouted at the man in front of her.

"Yes, that's it, don't get confused, go." Hawein followed the little girl and sent her out the door, but when he turned around, he saw Yiyate with a strange expression on his face.

"She has always been very patient with children." Yi Yat said, "You remind me of my sister."

"I don't really like children very much." While speaking, Harvey's arm passed over the little man's head.Yiyate felt that there was something extra on the top of her head, she stretched out her hand to grab it, spread it in the palm of her hand, only to realize that it was a candy.

Afterwards, Harvey asked about the situation of Candelilan again, "I remember that Ji Nuoer cut a knife directly from the stomach at that time, and Monard said what is it called... a caesarean section."

"It's a caesarean section." Yi Yat glared at him.

"Yes, caesarean section." Harvey nodded, "I've read the diagnosis written by the dumb woman, saying that Kendelilan is too small, and it's still a bit risky to have a baby, so why not use this method?"

"At one time and another, her slow recovery was only due to the side cut, and Ji Nuoer's bone birth canal was too narrow at that time, so there was no way—don't think you know better than the doctor."

"What's a sidecut?"

"You don't need to know that." Yiyate didn't bother to explain.She waved her hand like she was chasing away flies.

"If you don't tell me, I can almost guess it."

It seemed that because the topic could no longer continue, both of them suddenly fell silent.

The room was very quiet, except for the slight hum of the overhead ventilation system.

"Lord, haven't you been too busy lately?" Yi Yat looked at the man in front of him.

"What do you think?" Harvey asked her back.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Yi Yat blinked.She looked a lot like Egraine now—if that woman had a mind, it was that look.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Harvey raised his chin.

"Help me with something, and by the way, you can also go to the north to have a look."

"what's up?"
