Chapter 264 A chance encounter at a bar
Sean was sleeping uneasy. He tossed and turned, his mind was drowsy, like a light on his back, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from until a smooth body penetrated into his arms.
"Hey, do you miss me?" the voice of the body whispered in his ear.
Sean didn't have to look at it to know that it was Yulia, her body was always so smooth and resilient.
Why is she here? An idea came to Shaun's mind, but then he ran to the back of his head, and the two began to merge and soon disappeared from each other.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something, a sudden shock, struggling to leave the woman's arms, but Yulia's arm was already tightening him.
Her face slowly cracked from the middle, and the worms were squirming under the skin. Sean wanted to get up in fear, but it was too late. His lower body was entangled with worms. Countless worms penetrated into his skin, into his flesh and blood, and connected the two closely together, regardless of each other.
"Do you miss me?" Yulia whispered in his ear, her tongue drilling into his ear...
"Ah!" Sean suddenly sat up from the bed. It was not until the focal length was restored that he realized that everything just was just a dream. His body was not sweating now, but deep in his heart, the fear became more realistic. The sunlight shone in through the gaps in the curtains, which seemed very dark. He hurriedly pulled the curtains open and let the sunlight outside the window shine on his body. The sunlight was not much warm, but it still cheered up and dispelled the fear in his heart.
Huh, it's really a ghost.
Sean sighed, trying not to recall what happened at the Sword Castle.
After breakfast, Sean walked aimlessly on the streets of Bran City.
Compared with the Sword Castle, the streets of Bran City are much wider and more grand. The structure of the buildings is magnificent and grand, and most of them have classical elegance and extra decoration, which is an elegance that Sword Castle does not have.
Sword Castle is an industrial city, a new city developed by universities and factories, which often remind him of modern society.
However, Bran City still retains the historical traces of the Brighton Kingdom and the classical style of the kingdom.
Shawn walked in this city full of historical heritage, as if he had come to another country.
Unfortunately, today's timing seems to be wrong. Everyone comes and goes in a hurry on the streets, most of the shops are closed, and the streets are empty, adding to a bit of bleakness.
Sean knew what this was because of the fact that what happened in the Sword Castle had a profound impact. Fear spread like wildfire. Despite the continuous suppression of the authorities, it still could not bring people back to their past peace.
A child was walking through the street with a pile of thick newspapers in a difficult position. Sean called him to stop and bought a newspaper with two copper coins.
Just stood by the road and watched.
[Consultation this month: The infectious disease in Sword Castle has not subsided, and the Brighton Kingdom authorities have imposed a complete blockade of the city and are calling on people not to go there at will.]
[This morning: The Speaker of Rational Science was consulted in Parliament and declared that everything was under control. Rational Science was trying its best to study the treatment plan for this disease and was expected to restore social order as soon as possible.]
[International Consultation: Riots occurred in the Kingdom of Faris. The alleged cause of the riot was related to the storm that destroyed the port this month.]
[This month: Kalam Mental Treatment Center is overcrowded, and the Minister of Medical Affairs called on the authorities to allocate funds to build new hospitals to accommodate more and more patients with crazy talk...]
Sean browsed the newspaper from beginning to end and sighed in disappointment. He originally thought that there would be some tricks to learn rationally. In theory, such an organization with a profound background has mastered extraordinary power hundreds of years ago, and there will always be some hidden strength.
He even felt that perhaps what happened in the Sword Castle was simply a big game of chess learned to play rationally, with some more profound purpose.
However, the longer the time passed, the more he felt that the possibility became lower and lower.
Otherwise, there is no reason to learn rationally and do nothing now, right?
All the ways of coping that rationally learns seem to him clumsy, passive, and rigid. Except for a few people at the bottom, they are still working hard, most of them do not even have much effective reactions.
Everything looks like a farce.
He threw the newspaper into the trash can on the side, and the newspaper boy who had not walked far immediately ran over, picked it up and stuffed it back into the bundle of newspapers.
Sean continued walking until he was attracted by the dim lights that the family had just taken.
He pushed the door and walked in. At this time, drinking a beer can always relax.
What surprised him was that he met an acquaintance here.
Martin Vaughans was standing on a table in the corner, holding his shoulders with a little nervousness. His old windbreaker was wrinkled, his face was dirty, his eyes were swollen, and he seemed to have not been asleep for a long time. In front of him was a glass of beer that was almost finished and a plate of spicy jerky with wine.
When Sean looked at him, Martin Vaughan also looked at Sean.
He immediately stood up in surprise, and then showed a hesitant look.
Sean walked over, he looked at Martin Vaughans, but suddenly understood the mentality of the interrogator when he interrogated him.
Although it is a happy thing to meet again after a long separation, he still couldn't help asking: "How did you escape from the Sword Castle?"
"Don't mention it!" Martin Vaughans' tone was trembling, as if it was still fearful, "I abandoned everything, paid all my savings to buy a horse, and ran non-stop until the next day at noon that horse was exhausted. At that time, I had arrived in Gunther. I rested in Gunther for a few hours, and then bought a train ticket to Bran City.
I arrived in Bran three days ago and I was stuck here.
"Didn't the police in Bran City make you difficult?"
"No, the police only intercepted people coming from the Sword Castle. I was on the train from Gunther, so..."
Sean heard the silence for a while, and suddenly felt that it might not be really safe to run to Bran City. Such a bad safety management, if there were really symbiosis infiltrated...
He looked at the drinkers around him drinking and chatting. The atmosphere in the tavern was extremely peaceful, but he seemed to see someone's face suddenly cracked, and countless worms emerged from it, turning the city into a hellish ghost.
Hey! Martin patted Sean on the shoulder, making him shudder.
Martin seemed to know what Sean felt very well. He lowered his voice and whispered in Sean's ear, "Listen to leave Brighton, go to Faris, or West Frank, maybe Sharp, anyway, I'm going to be far away from Brighton, things may not be that scary, maybe it will settle soon, who knows, but to be honest, after seeing such a scene, I would rather be far away.
Do you want to come with me?"
Sean hesitated for a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet, let me think about it."
"Then you better hurry up. I have booked the day after tomorrow. I will stay in the hotel opposite during this period. If you want to walk with me, come to me before I leave. We don't know each other for too long, but I think you are a reliable person. Maybe we can take risks together abroad, and maybe we can make a fortune or something." 18109/11109439
