Chapter 258 The World Through the Eyes of Indigenous People

After this tide was over, the frequency background sound of Stade was raised by a few percent.

It is an irreversible process that reality sinks into the virtual world, but on the surface it remains silent and peaceful.Even the worms in the sewers are still safe and sound.The frenzy and riots that Elena expected did not appear, even, it could not be ruled out that it was an illusion, she always felt that their number had decreased a lot for no reason.

It may also be that the hunting group's preventive suppression caused another crisis to break out in these humble insect-human society, such as a sudden famine or the like.Elena thought indifferently, even though she didn't know what they were eating.

Since there were no further disasters, she didn't pay much attention to this matter.

After 36 hours, the sun rose again.The members of the hunting group disbanded and left one after another, but Elena was still waiting at the agreed place.She sat down in front of the window of an unopened pharmacy at the station. There were only three or two passers-by on the road, but Elena looked at each of them carefully.Because she was afraid that Ji Li'an, who was pretending to be running away, needed help urgently, but she couldn't find herself.

But five hours later, the pharmacy in the back had already opened, and Elena was still waiting, but at this moment she gradually realized something.

Elena didn't know where Ke Lin was performing the ceremony, so she got up and rushed to Ji Lian's residence.As a result, it was found that the place was empty.It can be seen that Ji Li'an did not encounter an accident, because everything was tidied up by herself.Only on the one-legged zinc leather round table was a short letter for himself.

"To Elena Marino:"

Ji Lian wrote in her smooth and powerful font:

"It's a pity that I couldn't say goodbye. For some reason, I have already gone to Baidu under the Holy Throne..."

Why did you suddenly go to such a far place, Baidu?The reason was not stated in the letter, but Ji Lian said that there is hope for her illness, so there is no need to worry too much about it.Elena folded the letter, fiddled with her fingers a few times before stuffing it back into the envelope.

She stood in the room at a loss, not knowing what to do next.

…………

In the Golden Iris block, a dozen Stade police detectives have surrounded a garden house and kicked open the front door.They received a tip that this was the hiding place of the wanted criminal Luca Chestalo.But they are doomed to fail.Luca was driving at this time, leaving the garage of another house 50 meters away.Because these two bungalows are his assets.

The custom-made car passed not far from the detectives and merged into the expensive traffic on North Fifteenth Street.There must be many wizards from the ninth game lurking in the dark, but they didn't notice Luka, who was just an ordinary person.Luca held the steering wheel with one hand, thinking about what car to change and where to live.The detectives are obviously starting to get tired, so his remote control of the Redstone organization in Stade can start soon.

…………

Five days have passed since Colin handed the mask to Ricardo.

The turmoil in the underground will not stop because of his absence, and the long night is also an excellent time for gang members to act.Because Colin and Luca disappeared at the same time, the two major alliances that were originally confronting each other immediately fell into a split. Three of the five major families lost their patriarchs, and soon disintegrated into smaller groups, and even went to war with each other.Therefore, they were powerless to resist the southward invasion of the Stade Institute.

But even with victories in a dozen firefights, Ricardo didn't send too many members of his establishment into Southstadt because he wasn't sure he could keep his subordinates in check and prevent a repeat of the Ball Brotherhood tragedy.Therefore, Ricardo took advantage of the opportunity to fulfill Colin's promise to Julieo a few months ago, and gave 20.00% of Stade's territory, which is the area originally controlled by the five hands, to Julia.

But in fact, even without this deal, the Capello family, which has experienced many battles in the hands of Julio, is already the strongest existing force in the Sindhi community.At present, the entire Nanstadt is still in a state of disunity, but it is self-evident where this area will go in the future:

The young and short Julio Capello, who was once regarded as a waste, will become the new "big boss" here.

In the Capello family's mansion, the burning wood in the fireplace makes the study room a bit hot.Julia was not used to leather chairs, so she sat directly on the antique desk.She swayed her smooth calf under the skirt, held the resin microphone with only one hand, and dialed the number again and again, explaining something to the bosses who had just attached themselves.

"No, no, I'm going to give you some benefits." She changed her sitting position, but said calmly:
"Tell him who I am so you don't have to share with him."

The power structure within the Five Hands is constantly being reorganized in this study, or it should no longer be called the Five Hands. The era of the five powers in the past is over.

Hilpert stood quietly in front of the window, but knew that the footsteps of the young patriarch would not stop here.

After all, Zhu Liou may be the most perfect lamp girl since the first generation.

But...she lowered her head, and stretched out her right hand to adjust the black veil covering her eyes.

Ever since Colin completed the "spiritual guidance" in the imaginary world and then reconstructed reality for Hilpert, she has always felt that something was wrong.This sense of strangeness caused vague uneasiness, so Hilpert simply found a black veil and covered his eyes.

The world seen with these eyes seems to be different.

Hilpert couldn't point out the specific difference.

…………

At noon that day, after finishing everything, Nancy drove to pick up Colin.

Colin opened the door with a haggard face.During this period, he did not leave the house because he could not be sure if anyone outside was watching him.

He opened the car door, but didn't see Ji Lian:
"What about the woman from before?"

"Someone has already sent Stade away." Nancy said indifferently: "It happened yesterday."

Ke Lin was slightly taken aback. Originally, he was thinking of at least reporting to Ji Lian that he was safe.

Once the distance between the two is further, then things will be troublesome.Because no matter what information you send, it may be intercepted by the dark river, which will reveal the fact that you have not been replaced.

"Are you worried about her?" Nancy asked as if noticing Colin's strangeness.

"I'm just worried that the news will leak out."

"Don't worry," Nancy said.

"That kid is quite smart. The ceremony was not set within the scope of the narrative agency. I have cleaned up the obvious traces."

Saved a lot of trouble, but that's all.

Even if it is shrouded by the recording agency, Nancy, as a high-level hunting group, has the ability to erase the records.

The vintage car slowly accelerated and drove into the street.Before leaving Stade, Colin looked back at Dallozzo's old mansion for the last time, and found that it seemed to have remained the same as seven years ago, standing there eeriely.

Then he closed his eyes tiredly, trying to fall asleep.But the image he saw just now flooded his eyes again.

Colin didn't want to let Craigie's work go unnoticed.

I also know the significance of this creation.

So an hour before Nancy's arrival, he connected the spiritual nerve to himself.

Colin is different from Craigie, he has imaging ability and sense of spirit, so he can quickly solve any abnormal situation, so as to avoid himself in danger.

After the initial access to the external nerve, he really didn't feel anything unusual.

Although it is named "nervous", it is not a biological creation, but an extension of the soul.

Craigie has completed the first stage of the connection and Colin is preparing for the second stage.

He summoned Kushiki again.

The small basement couldn't accommodate the devil's body, its torso could only protrude from the door and stretched out along the stairs.

The nerve structure of spiritual perception may not only expose the first layer of curtain, but also the second layer above it, that is, "the heart of the eternally mysterious Other".

Kushino bowed his body obediently, while Colin stretched out his soft spiritual nerves and pierced the spinal cord on the devil's back.Of course, that's just the "spinal cord" in the symbolic sense.

The wailing in its heart also entered Colin's mind, but it was immediately blocked, leaving only harmless sensory information in the end.

Even though Kushio came from the imaginary world, he still belonged here more than Ke Lin, a visitor from another world.

This is also the first time that Colin has directly seen the world through the eyes of the natives 22 years after he came to this world.

After hesitating for a while, he slowly opened Kushio's "eyes" to check the material world in its eyes.

Therefore, Colin saw a scene that he could never forget in this life.

At this moment, he finally understood why everything in this world looked so similar to his previous life.

Not that they were meant to be.

It's the self who imaged them, from the earth in the previous life.
