Chapter 652 The Story of the Forest Guard's Exit
Allerica was pretty sure she had heard wrong.Of course, she used to think that she could never hear wrong.She trusts her own judgment.But, no matter what, she felt that what Jing Huang said just now was not the original meaning.

She glared at Jing Juan, who was still pursing his lips tightly, the side of his cheeks puffed up, as if he was trying to shut something in his mouth.Something is not quite right.She wanted to ask Jing Huang if she needed help, but felt that now was not the right time.

It wasn't until the executor disappeared where she couldn't see that she put down the scimitar in a little confusion.Is it safe now?She couldn't be sure.But Jing Huang obviously had some problems.He might be wounded, confused by some force, or it might not be Thorn at all—she didn't really think so, but that was a possibility.

"What's the matter with you?" she asked, feeling that her voice was a little strange.

Jing Huang shook his head.He still maintains an odd breath hold.Allerica was sure he was in trouble.This matter immediately attracted her attention.All kinds of possibilities flitted through her head.She remembered that there was a kind of troublemaker, a kind of strange thing between insects and spirits, who liked to attach to the back of the heads of other animals, and controlled the host to make various ridiculous expressions.She wondered if that would work for Joan, but she took her hands away from Poddy and stood up to look at the back of Joan's head.Jing Huang's footsteps follow her around, always facing her directly.

"Are you really okay?" she asked.

Jing Huang nodded.He obviously realized that wasn't a convincing enough gesture, so he opened his mouth slowly.That kind of caution is like inserting a thin needle catheter into an air bag that may explode at any time, so that the air can be emptied slowly and steadily.His movements made Allerica nervous, feeling that at any moment the cursed knife would pop out of Jing Juan's mouth.But when Jing Juan's cheek returned to its original shape, she didn't find what was hidden in his mouth.

"It's fine." Jing Huang replied with a little care and vigilance.

At this moment, he had already opened his eyes, and Yareriga felt familiar with his expressionless face and rigid voice.And as the flame-like color on his body faded, she no longer felt that he was taller than before.Now he is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. There is no doubt that this is the problem child who ran away from the boat.But Yale Liga still had a little suspicion - she felt that there was some kind of shock hidden under Jing Juan's calm expression, or at least uneasiness and panic.He must be in some kind of trouble, but it doesn't seem that serious.Not the kind of trouble that would cause real problems, but... some kind of trouble that might be a little fun.

Allerica stared at him thoughtfully.She felt that her expression must be a bit malicious, because Jing Huang's eyes suddenly became erratic.He deliberately didn't look at her, but pretended to observe the surrounding situation hard.He really took a look around pretty quickly, as he frowned at Poddy.Although he didn't look at Yarrica, he shook his head as an answer.

They were all silent for a little while.In the fleeting silence, Yale Liga wanted to say a few words to Jing Juan about the choice she had thought about before the wishing machine was activated.But then Jing Juan stretched out his hand, and the thin white rope came out from his sleeve.You Rope quietly slid across the ground, pushed the scattered papers into the pocket, then hooked up the pocket and the metal chain, and sent it back to Jing Huang.

Jing Huang looked at the appearance of the chain, but remained silent.Allerica remembered that this chain was more or less responsible for Poddy's life.She just thought so, but didn't really say it.Jing Juan probably already knew what was going on, and he was probably thinking about how to explain it—she felt that way for a while, but Jing Juan didn't say anything in the end.The thin rope reversed its direction, deftly and silently handing the fanny pack in front of her.But the place where the chain was tied didn't move, it remained on the side close to Jing Huang.

Allerica took her fanny pack.Then she reached out again and took the chain away.This move of hers surprised Jing Huang a bit, but she didn't stop her.

"It was a gift after all," she said.

Jing Huang hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's no longer effective."

"The one I sent you is no longer valid. I have no intention of getting it back."

Jing Huang's left sleeve wobbled.Allerica had already seen that the place was practically empty.The chain that Jing Huang gave her still has some traces, but the prosthetic arm she bought with a huge sum of money seems to be completely gone, and the service life of the two things may be similar.Now they both became two ridiculous fools.

Fortunately, there is still a ship, Yale Liga thought in time, at least it is a very reliable asset.And judging from the current situation, it is still her ship.

She also took the metal chain and put it in her fanny pack.Out of some not-so-good intentions, she patted her waist bag nonchalantly, and said, "Now it won't cause any trouble. And its maker is right in front of me, so I can ask about its specific function. There is no need to go to Rummaging around the ship for the message. I figured it would be okay to keep it for now."

There was absolutely no sternness in her voice, but Jing Huang was visibly embarrassed.It was very rare for him to show such an expression, so Yareriga watched secretly, and did not intend to release him immediately.She had not yet decided whether to forgive the letter he had left in the bridge room.Don't think about it now.She only immersed herself in the joy of achieving the mission goal for a short while, and then said: "The person you came to find..."

Jing Huang's uneasy expression immediately faded away.He frowned again, clearly unwilling to talk about the subject.Yale Liga doesn't think this is a problem that can be ignored, but it might as well postpone it for a while.So she changed her words and said: "We have to find a way to get out of here. Me and you, and Qiaoqiao Tianyi. She was also on the boat when you left. I think you remember her."

The two or three people she omitted on purpose obviously made Jing Huang feel better.His frown was loosened again.But just as Allerica guessed in his heart, he didn't move, but stayed where he was reluctantly.His sullen look made Yarelica decide to let him go for the time being.

"We find the others too?" she offered to suggest, "We have a fugitive, a killer, and a developer of the wishing machine. We can throw the first two in prison—the most suitable regional prison for them. I'm not sure what to do with that developer, she might be eligible for the trap belt exemption. We could put her in Gate City though, that would be a good idea."

That's certainly a good idea.Yale Liga has long known that the glorious city of thousands of households is facing enormous security pressure every day.First-time country bumpkins run amazed through the streets, and "higher civilizations" release their primitive animals, which are inconvenient for humane handling, into the port.There is everything there.There you can grow quickly.The confusion and loss there was borne by the man who went by the pseudonym Eden.It will all be wonderful.

She and Jing Huang almost started laughing when they stared at each other again.Jing Juan restrained himself, but was obviously happy, no matter whether he would really take this suggestion or not.Allerica thought this was a good sign, but then she became dizzy.

She couldn't see anything, it wasn't something wrong with her body, but... She couldn't tell what was crowding her field of vision.It was too complicated and dense, so she couldn't even make out a single line.Her built-in circulator seemed to be activated in the confusion, suggesting she'd landed in some pretty harsh conditions.Only for a brief period of time, followed by vision returning to normal.She lay on a cool and empty floor, almost parallel to Boddy's body, and Juan sat beside her, perhaps tending her.He might have said something to her, but she hadn't heard the sound.She seems to have been placed in some distant place, something wrapped around her, separating her from Jing Juan.She saw that Jing Huang's body seemed to be burning brightly, but when he held her hand, the part where they touched dimmed strangely.It was as if something was clinging to her skin, swallowing all the light.

Yale Liga's eyes slid to the side along Jing Huang's face.She first saw Jing Huang's side hair and ears, and felt that she hadn't seen such a small ear for a while, and then followed the outline of the ear to look further away.She saw again the secluded forest where the shadows gathered.It was right behind Jing Juan, so close that she could walk in just two or three steps.But the forest of shadows did not grow, because the firelight on Jing Huang's body made the nearby shadows disappear.This sight amused Allerica in her twilight.She felt that this scene was very familiar and comforting, just like when she was running in the forest in the cold season when she was a child, those colorful curly leaves shrank and withered gently in the cold wind.

She had seen forest fires many times before, most of them catastrophic, but now she felt safe, so she remembered a forest fire that felt reassuring.When she was very young, in a place known for its specialty breeders, an entire forest went berserk, attacking and absorbing any unit that moved.The local residents had to set fire to burn them down.At that time, she was sitting on the protective wall by the forest, watching the bright white flames engulfing the forest in her mother's arms.The experimental forest has always been permeated with a special gas formed by the volatilization of tree sap, so the fire burned particularly cleanly.

Those burned trees don't struggle or make noise like animals.They hunted by secreting chemicals, so Yarelica didn't find them painful at the time.Dangling her legs by the parapet, she felt that the trees were not burned, but simply gone.Taking advantage of the flames, they shrunk their size and gradually retreated to an unreachable distance.The charred ground was nothing but their dragging and muddy footsteps.

The residents cheered at the success of neutralizing the threat, but the trees were so quiet in the firelight.That may be unfair, because she was still very young at the time, and she hadn't gone too far into the maze of her own thoughts, so she, like most lives, took her own mode of action as a universal standard.She didn't really feel that the trees were suffering from the burning, she felt at the time that they just didn't care.They don't care when they kill, and they don't care when they are killed.To the onlookers, they seemed to be fading away in the light.Just go away.

Now the shadow forest is gone.Yale Liga saw it getting smaller and more blurred, disappearing into the very far end of space.It was a strange feeling, because she could see the ceiling of the room not far away, maybe only four times her height, but the Shadow Forest was far away, like a dark star a few stars away.When she watched this scene that violated the sense of space, she didn't feel scared. On the contrary, she felt safe and interesting, and her body gradually became warm and hot.At the moment when she couldn't see Shadow Forest completely, she suddenly felt that something in her body also disappeared.Some kind of shady invisible cocoon around her was peeled away, all her abnormal senses were completely restored, and the illusion that made her inexplicably euphoric and aimless like a little girl was gone.Only Jing Huang was still there, he was still squatting beside her and looking at her, his body was not shining.

Allerica sat up from where she was.Her first impression was that she was sitting in a spacious but old room.The old feeling is more from the equipment in the room.Under the faint but persistent emergency light, the dust floated softly in the air, rising and falling with her breath.There was also a thick layer of dust on the equipment, but it was placed in an orderly manner, as if the users had left due to urgent matters a long time ago, and then never came back.Everything was so quiet, almost desolate, like falling back to a lonely and cold bed from a psychedelic dream in the middle of the night, realizing that all the uproar just now was just a fantasy processing of a memory from many years ago.

However, Yale Liga certainly knew that what happened just now had nothing to do with the dream.The first evidence she could find was in the middle of the room.The fugitive was leaning against the piles of heavy equipment, two warning lights slapped right in his face.His face, which should have been Joan's, was terribly thin, haggard and sickly, having knocked him down in such a short time, and the expression on his face was more severe than ever.That look confuses Yale Liga, making her suspect that they have fallen into something worse than the wishing machine getting out of control.But Jing Huang's performance was very calm, he sat cross-legged beside her lap, looking completely relaxed.

No danger.Allerica thought to herself.Otherwise, Jing Huang will express something.So she also relaxed, not thinking about how to deal with the other few for the time being.There are too many things to do later, but she and Jing Huang should have a talk, no matter how they plan to arrange their respective places afterwards.

Then two voices sounded almost simultaneously.In the center of the room, where the equipment was placed, Yareriga heard some subtle bells shaking.She should have paid attention to this movement immediately, but there was also a loud noise behind her.The door of the room was violently opened by someone.

Yareriga grabbed the knife as the dark intruder rushed in.But that weird visitor didn't pay attention to her or Jing Juan at all, it pounced on the fugitive less than half a second after entering the door, grabbed the front of his clothes and lifted it up.Its roar was muffled and wet, with an alarming stench, but that didn't stop outsiders from hearing that he was in a rage.

"You murderer!" Toba growled, "What have you done! The whole city has disappeared!"

Ji Xun moved his gaze to it.The extreme sternness still remained on his face, but a bleak smile had been squeezed out.

"I did what we set out to do," he replied, "in part."

Toba seemed to suddenly realize where it was.It began to look around, looking for something on its mind.Someone was also looking for it with it, and it was more dexterous and quicker than it—Qiaoqiao Tianyi just flapped her wings lightly twice, and her majestic and beautiful body was already lying on the top of the device.She looked at the other side of the covered mechanical fence, Yale Liga could only see her hind legs kicking lightly, and her tail sweeping back and forth.

She suddenly exclaimed: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Yale Liga and Tuoba watched her with concern, but Ji Xun and Jing Huang showed no interest.They all already know the answer and are thinking about the longer term.Yale Liga also paid attention to Jing Huang's reaction, so she knew that it was not dangerous to raise the sky's wings.But what's behind that?

"What did you see?" she asked her tail-wagging feathered friend.

"I saw a cutie!" Qiaoqiao Tianyi said, "What is she doing? Oh, she wants to hug me!"
