“…When I set out, Rhode Island was nearly a hundred kilometers away from the ruins of Checheng.”

"The car drove into the wilderness from the buffer point. As soon as the front wheel hit the soil base, it ran dozens of meters away. It looked like a rabbit chased by a falcon, and did not dare to stop for a moment."

"I looked back at Rhode Island, and the fortress signs on the bridge were still clear."

"It just doesn't feel solid at all."

The last air conditioning that stayed in the wilderness finally dissipated, and countless greens broke out from the ground, breathing the long-lost fresh air, making the land much more vivid.

This scene made Valentine feel a little more relaxed.

The world of Terra in his mind was covered with a gray filter, as if there was no beautiful place of despair - it was this wilderness covered with countless buds that changed his mind.

But this return trip was still wrapped in dullness, and even Franca sat quietly in the passenger seat and looked into the distance.

It seems like I am missing the leisurely holiday that has passed and will never appear again.

In order to alleviate this depression, Razer took the initiative to raise the topic and talked about the day she set off.

Although the girls were not interested, Valentine listened seriously.

"Hey, what month is it today?"

Razer's words reminded him.

In fact, Rhode Island ran away as early as the end of the Longmen Battle. They did not stop when they set out to Checheng that day, and they didn't know where the destination was all the way west.

Although Jiao Zhengyu said that time was very slow outside and Valentine lived in another world for thousands of years before Terra had only passed a day, but it was not guaranteed that there would be accidents.

If a week or a month has passed, the more important thing about food and accommodation than returning to Rhode Island is food and accommodation.

The car is driven by source stone, so you don’t have to worry about lack of fuel…

But is the food enough for six people to share?

"today……"

Razer glanced at his wrist.

"On April 2, three days have passed since the day you set off."

She looked up slightly and looked at Valentine's face through the rearview mirror.

"Based on the speed of Rhode Island, it should have reached southern Syria now."

"Rhode Island has absorbed a lot of refugees in Checheng and Gantry, but the factory will not have a shortage of staff."

“But food and fresh water supply are not enough.”

“It will stay there for a few days to replenish resources, and that’s also our chance to catch up with it.”

Amiya agreed to Razer's request to go to the ruins of Checheng, but also explained to her the dangers that might be encountered when doing so.

In addition to the threat from Usas soldiers, there is also the issue of return.

Rhode Island will not stop and wait for them, Razer and others must catch up with the main base themselves.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't catch up. They can go to the nearby Rhode Island drugstore, where they send messages to the headquarters and wait for the logistics department to pick them up.

But doing so will waste a lot of time, and it will be difficult for Valentine and others to get into the city.

So taking advantage of Rhode Island to catch up with it during the rest of Syrah is the only viable solution.

"Don't worry, Rhode Island will probably stay for about a week, which is enough."

"and……"

The Razer driving with sunglasses was like a cool cap, and Valentine couldn't see her gaze through the rearview mirror.

But even so, he could still feel the focus of this good sister's attention changed from herself to Raphael.

"It's also quite close to Rutland. When we saw the main base of Rhode Island, we had a high probability of seeing the Sakota caravan on the plains."

The halo above Raphael's head suddenly flashed.

"Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Back to home.

The sound is so close that it seems to come from afar, hazy and illusory. The buried memories appear again at this moment, as if they happened yesterday.

The angel stared at the horizon in the distance, but in his eyes were the church spire, crosses and bright starry sky.

Rutland has no rules that restrict saints, even if the laws are at their feet. But every generation of saints silently abide by secular laws, and rules that they have never said for a long time only exist in their hearts.

Never leave Rutland, defend the remains and keep secrets.

"No."

It took a long time before Raphael answered slowly.

The voice was very light, and as soon as the words were finished, they were crushed by the sound of wheels and disappeared.

Just like that night, she stood in the wilderness and looked at the petite figure at the exit of the city-state, saying goodbye.

Saints have freedoms that ordinary people have never possessed, but they live in prison as soon as they are born.

Raphael was not disgusted with the invisible restrictions everywhere, but she could not bear the secrets buried by the Rutland Church for thousands of years.

The truth that only saints and cardinals can know.

At the same time, a voice appeared in Raphael's heart, asking her to go outside to find her true destiny.

A career that the first generation of Raphael failed to accomplish.

It was just a feeling, very fantastic, just like the soul had more things than others, and it was hard to explain.

But there is no precedent for the saint to leave the city, and this illusory reason alone cannot dispel the burden in her heart.

Raphael loved the city and understood that his identity was not to be willful. The conflicts and conflicts arose from the two emotions became increasingly intense, but were finally resolved by others.

Gabriel cleanly pushed Raphael into the wilderness and made a choice for her.

[One day in the future you will come back with answers to solve the problem.]

[Before that, forget the three words ‘Rightland’.]

Without blessings or retention, he turned around and left after saying that, Raphael didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

She could only look at the figure gradually fading away and said "goodbye" that only she could hear.

Say it to Gabriel, and also to himself.

...

It has been seven years since today.

The once slightly immature girl has entered the adult world, only one red book is left to a real wife.

Raphael was sure that he had found the answer, but it was not yet time to be revealed.

The opportunity to return to Rutland is still hidden in the darkness.

She would never return to her hometown until that moment came.

"Actually, I really want to go back."

Raphael sighed, turned his head and looked at Razer and smiled, holding the hand of the person beside him.

"But what's the use of going back? Xiao Wa only has Checheng's identity certificate."

"That city is gone."

Although it feels very comfortable to connect with the Angel Sister, this still makes Valentine feel something is wrong.

What does Rutland have to do with my proof of identity this time?

If you go back to your hometown to visit your relatives, wouldn’t it be better if I wait at the Rhode Island base?

How can those angels not let you come out?

Do they dare to do this to the saints they worship?

"Actually, I still have the identity certificate of Longmen."

The more I thought about Valentine, the more I felt something was wrong. In order to prove that he was not a "stateless person", he quickly explained, and he quickly took out his ID card from Longmen.

"oh."

Raphael's eyes widened and his expression of surprise was a bit exaggerated.

"Does that phoenix also have a Longmen ID card?"

Hearing himself, Xing Yihuang turned to Raphael's gaze and shook her head gently.

"The Longmen official sent me an ID card, and I was very angry."

Valentine was so angry that she thought of the things she had experienced at the Dragon Gate.

I helped them get rid of a large gang, and the only useful thing in the final reward was Zhang's identity certificate, which was given to the silly boy more than this.

Although there is a house, it is close to the Xiacheng District Guard Bureau. Normal people can tell what the house is used for.

Isn't it just monitoring us?
