Some people will express understanding, but most will remain unresponsive.
Those people's relatives were not nearby, or they were all bedridden with illness, floating in a daze.
We ultimately implemented the proposal.
But before that, Xiaoxi, who had been keeping watch outside, suddenly reported to us that Duheng had quietly left the library area alone under the cover of night and headed into the distance.
At the same time, Ping, the girl who had been kept in the deepest underground place, also disappeared without a trace.
“I should be able to find them.” Sheng, who had been listening quietly the whole time, calmly asked me, “Ping has the first parasitic plant I planted on her, and I can vaguely sense that they are moving into the distance. Should we go after them?”
I remained silent for a long time, quietly touching the tools I had taken from the devil and stuffed in my pocket. I stole a glance at Juncheng, who was leaning against the wall not far away and remained silent, and finally shook my head.
I have secretly lifted the curse on that girl, and her body is without any cracks. She sleeps peacefully like a porcelain doll that is still intact. With some careful care, perhaps she can really wait for the day when she can return to normal.
I sincerely hope that day will come.
Then, the tenth main quest ended in confusion and bewilderment.
I cannot be certain of the future direction of this world, just as Sheng, feeling exhausted, lies down and falls asleep, unable to understand why so many variables have occurred.
But there is one thing I might have been able to foresee.
This already crumbling safe zone will no longer be a solid bulwark protecting the mental well-being of all survivors, but will be dragged along, like others caught in the tide of chaos, into an abyss that will ultimately lead to disorder.
I hope that day will come later, much later.
Even though everything here doesn't really have much to do with me.
After returning to reality once again, I learned another piece of news from Shen Xue, who had just returned from her morning exercise:
The transparent barrier that blocked our way suddenly vanished on its own in the early hours of the morning, as if it had never existed at all.
Then, a short figure suddenly appeared in the distance, running towards them with great joy.
"Hey—everyone! Are you here to pick me up?"
Lena, covered in dust and dirt, excitedly circled around us, observing us from all sides. It took her a while to remember the important matter: "Oh dear, this mission was really dangerous! We finally managed to leave the tribe in the Crimson Flame Land, but unexpectedly, we ended up in a ruin where the wind blows erratically, and we were trapped for a long time."
"Fortunately, that thing somehow suddenly untied itself, and we were able to escape safely."
As she spoke, she stuffed some things into my arms without giving me a chance to look at them closely. Then she hurriedly pulled us along and opened the door to the miniature garden in an instant: "Hurry up and hurry up, or if we get caught, things will be really bad!"
Opposite the rotating door is a large, lush green lawn.
The silver-armored woman standing in front of the white building covered her face and yawned. Her ruby-like eyes suddenly looked in this direction, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
With a sharp clang, the silver ceremonial sword was instantly drawn, twirled, and pointed straight upwards.
"Alice Bell, Vice Commander of the First Knights of Dawn, pays her respects to the returning ones."
She announced loudly, then suddenly winked mischievously, a familiar look flashing in her eyes.
Ah, finally... just one more side chapter and this volume will be finished.
After some modifications, it's now 4.5k, which is alright... (looking up at the sky)
To be honest, I might write an extra chapter tomorrow, probably.
