Chapter 267 The First Day of Bran City

"Sean Forrester, a professor of literature at Swordsburg University, has written many best-selling books, including "The Revenge of Monte Cristo", "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes", "Thirty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", etc...

Hehe, I have to say that your qualifications are really famous.

But none of these can help you, Professor Sean. Everything here is false. Only the truth and honesty can save you from prison. Tell me, Professor Sean, how did you escape from Sword Fort? "

Sean looked helplessly at the interrogator in front of him, "I've said it a dozen times, what do you want to hear from me?"

"Hmph, do you think I will believe this kind of thing that a person passed through most of the city of Sword Castle unscathed amidst countless violent citizens and mutated monsters, and finally managed to escape?

You'd better tell the truth, this is not Jianbao University, this is Bran City Royal Prison, if you can't satisfy me, I'm afraid you will regret it very much, Professor Sean. "

Sean sighed, "I'm telling the truth. As for why I was able to escape, it may have something to do with my practice of marksmanship and swordsmanship, and my memory is very good. I memorized the route of every street in Jianbao City. That's why I was able to get out of trouble. In fact, I can prove it now. You just mentioned my past qualifications. I'm afraid what you just said is not complete. Besides those titles, I have another title. Why don't you say it? What—a full member of the Society of Reason."

He said and pointed to the badge of the wise man on his chest.

This made the interrogator's face a little ugly.

He looked at Sean angrily, raised his fist high, but finally smashed it on the table.

After all, he turned around and walked out, leaving Sean alone in the dark interrogation room.

Sean didn't feel complacent about it. Although his status as a member of the Society of Rationality prevented him from being tortured, it was not so easy to leave the prison.

How did I end up in such a state?He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but there was no way, if he really told the truth, things would only get worse.

The scene that happened three days ago could not help reappearing in his mind, and he shivered suddenly.

He touched his pocket again. Fortunately, because of his special status, he was not body-searched forcibly, and the dimensional pocket was still there. As long as he wanted, he could take out the magic water in the pocket at any time and cast teleportation magic to leave here.

But he didn't want to do this. Bran City is the capital of the Kingdom of Brighton. Once the impact of doing so is too great, the country may not be able to stay.

Especially at this sensitive time...

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened.

The interrogator walked in with indifference, "Professor Xiao En, you can go."

This time, it was somewhat beyond Xiao En's expectation. He originally thought that it would take a few days of tossing around.

Walking out of the interrogation room, I immediately saw the director of the prison, waiting for Sean with a flattering smile.

"Ah, Professor Sean, I'm sorry for being rude to you before, but there's nothing we can do about it. There are too many strange things happening at Sword Castle, and we have to deal with them cautiously."

"Oh, of course, of course, you are just doing your duty, I don't take it to heart at all." Sean said casually, and followed the director of the prison towards the outside of the prison.

When passing through the corridor, there were shrill screams from the interrogation room next door. Obviously, there was no preferential treatment for ordinary civilians.

And this is just the beginning, the further you go outside, the more screams can be heard, the entire Wang Family Seventh Prison is like a huge torture field at this time, there are screams and begging for mercy everywhere, but the prison guards are not the slightest They are soft, they are using brutality to cover up the fear in their hearts, so those civilians who escaped from the sword castle will suffer from bad luck.

When he came to the gate of the prison, he unexpectedly ran into two acquaintances—the two drafters of the Society of Rationalism that he had met in Nord.

The one in the lead seemed to be called Henry Butler, and the other was called Ben Albert.

Xiao En immediately realized that these two people probably played a lot in being able to leave the prison so easily.

Henry came up with a hug, as affectionate as an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "Haha, Professor Sean, long time no see, we were very worried when we heard about what happened in Sword Castle, luckily always favors those worthy of favor , glad you got out of that city alive."

"I'm also very happy," Sean said from the bottom of his heart as he shook hands with the two.

After that dreadful day, it was comforting to see a familiar face or two in a strange city.

"Come on, we'll take you back to the hotel."

On the carriage, the two casually asked about what happened in Jianbao.

Shawn shook his head, expressing that he didn't know too much, but he just found out that there was a riot in the city, so he chose to leave wisely, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.

Henry seemed to believe his words completely, and said with emotion: "The city is finished, everyone is crazy, kill the police and officials, hang up the rich and burn them to death, open the arsenal for arming, some people say It's a riot, hehe, things are not that simple, it is said that someone saw a terrifying monster, a monster transformed from a human.

You must have seen something weird when you escaped, right Professor Sean? "

Sean nodded and sighed.

The strange limbs and distorted faces of those symbiotes mutated appeared before his eyes.

There was silence in the carriage for a while, until Ben Albert coughed, which seemed to be the beginning of a conversation. Sure enough, he asked in the next second: "Although it is a bit presumptuous to ask, but Professor Sean , how did you write the manuscript we agreed on?"

Sean came back to his senses, forced a smile, "I've finished writing, I'll put it in the hotel, and I'll give it to you when I get back."

Henry suddenly laughed happily, "Haha, that's really great."

The carriage soon arrived at the hotel. Seeing Sean get off the carriage, the owner of the hotel looked embarrassed. Sean knew why. It was the hotel owner who informed him that he was taken away.

However, he didn't bear any grudge against the boss. What happened in Sword Fort was too terrifying. Anyone who escaped from Sword Fort would be put on extreme vigilance.

Sean walked into his room, took out the manuscript from the dimension pocket, pretended to look through the suitcase, and then walked out, handing over the thick manuscript.

The two immediately took the manuscript with great respect.

"Don't mind if we take a look."

"Of course I don't mind." Sean called the boss and ordered a lunch. During the two days he stayed in prison, he only ate a small piece of bread and a glass of water, although his current body does not need to eat at all. But there will still be the illusion of hunger.

While Sean was wolfing down his lunch, the two of them were already eagerly reading.

The more they read, the more amazed they became. The content of the book made the expressions of the two people gradually become fascinated, sometimes they were overwhelmed, and sometimes they were dumbfounded.

Sean was in a happy mood, and it was always a joyful thing for his works to be loved by readers.

Finally, the two put down the manuscript. In fact, they only read less than a quarter of it, but even so, they were full of admiration.

"My God! My God!"

"Unbelievable, really unimaginable!"

The two of them didn't know how to express their inner feelings at all, so they could only sigh constantly.

Sean looked indifferent, "It's good that you two like it, so you're qualified?"

"That's right, absolutely qualified. We invited Professor Sean to join the Society of Rationality, and we made the right choice. We're bringing the manuscript back to Nathaniel for publication. In this time of crisis and terror, spiritual food is exactly what people need." Trust me."

Sean was a little surprised: "Has the sword castle news reached Nathaniel?"

The two looked at each other, "You don't know yet, Professor Sean? Sword Castle is not the only place where disasters occur. Nowadays, weird and terrifying disasters have occurred in many parts of the world, and some cities have even been completely lost due to this. got in touch.

In the city of Andieb in Essia, a terrible black sun event took place. It is said that the sun there became dark, and the ancient mummies buried in the ground took to the streets one after another.

Horrific sea monsters appeared in Port Moreton in the Kingdom of Faris. It is said that the sea monsters landed in the port city, destroying most of the city and killing 10,000+ people. Those survivors either became demented or completely fell into madness .

In the city of Adra, the capital of blood therapy, a strange plague first occurred, and then it was shrouded in mist. No one could escape from the city. Some people went in to investigate, but there was no trace...

Things like this are happening everywhere, people are panicking, fear and despair are eating up the world.

Professor Xiao En, what happened in Jianbao City is undoubtedly an unfortunate disaster, but it is only one of the various crises facing the world. "

Henry's voice lost all the joy before and became heavy.

Sean couldn't help being silent when he heard this. He knew what was going on. The terrifying existences in the prophecy were waking up, returning, and coming to this world.

And he's the only one with the potential to save the world, even though the odds are infinitely close to zero, and he doesn't even have a clue how.

Instead, Henry took the lead to restore his smile: "In any case, hope has not disappeared. As long as you have your manuscript, people will definitely be inspired by the brilliance of reason and technology. Maybe the magical things described in your book Science and technology can be realized one day, then we don't have to be so scared."

As he spoke, he winked at Sean meaningfully.

Sean nodded, "I hope so."

　I am writing a new book recently, probably because I let go of my mind. I gradually have some ideas and ideas for the follow-up plot development of the old book, and I no longer struggle as much as I did before.

　　Coupled with the fact that he was really uneasy about things like eunuchs, he finally decided to finish the book.

　　Because of the relationship between writing a new book, the update may not be too fast.

　　But I still hope readers will like it.
