I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 398 Night and Stars
She has a deep gaze.

But it seemed to reflect the bright moon and stars that could never be seen in the kingdom of eternal night.

Jiang Menghan was at the moment when the half-moon bowstring was fully charged, like the time between the new moon and the full moon.

Let go gently.

In an instant, a huge beam of pure white light pierced through the entire sewer.

Shelly covered her eyes directly.

In the eternal night, she hadn't seen such a bright light for a long time.

perhaps.

That was the moonlight that had never appeared in the kingdom of eternal night.

Under the 'sacred' and 'tearing' effects that come with the Artemis lineage.

The last batch of infected people that had accumulated in this area of the sewer pipes were also completely eliminated.

The roads were cleared.

Every few steps, Shelly entered the password on the rusty operating table next to the sewer to reopen and close the steel gate.

The steam engines roared.

Accompanied by the clanking sounds of gears and huge chains.

Su Wen finally arrived at the largest shelter in the entire Signo Province.

——————————————————————————————————

After returning to the shelter.

Shelly finished her report and then placed the steel helmet in her small tent which she used for rest.

At the same time, she finally couldn't help shedding tears that she felt like she was carrying a heavy burden but couldn't vent.

Before meeting them.

Everything that happened in Homeward Port became a painful memory for Shelly.

Even now.

She didn't know how to face that memory.

Since the disaster named "Black Tide" by the church teacher broke out not long ago.

Shelly saw with her own eyes that her uncle was bitten on the arm by an infected person.

And within four hours he turned into a monster that could only roar and attack others.

That fear.

She still couldn't understand it.

Why can human beings be so easily transformed into such a strange appearance by disasters?

And this is just the beginning. People have to face a more cruel reality:

Those monsters simply cannot be killed easily with human weapons, unless they are completely minced or melted by high temperature, otherwise even if only a mass of rotten meat is left, they can still wriggle towards the living they "desire".

Even so, the survivors still have to face the torture of hunger and thirst every day and have to risk going out to find food and water.

Every departure is accompanied by anxiety and fear because they don’t know what dangers and difficulties they will face.

even.

It is very likely that you will never come back.

Life in this shelter has become extremely difficult for people. They have to face poor sanitary conditions and extreme overcrowding, making survival even more difficult.

New wounded and sick people appear every day, making them feel powerless and desperate.

Only the roar of the steam engine and the sound of the old blacksmith hammering on the forge beside the furnace could give her some comfort.

but now.

Finally someone came to rescue them.

Shelly couldn't help sobbing softly.

She wiped her tears with the faded gray towel that had been washed so many times and was hanging on the wall.

She could finally cry.

The girl lowered her head and thought about those who would never come back.

Three minutes passed.

When she looked up again, she found Rendell standing at the door of her temporary residence, a small, shabby tent.

Shelly sniffed quickly to avoid exposing her weakness:

“I’m sorry, sir.

I just couldn’t help myself.”

Hear her say that.

Instead, Rendel handed her a brand new hand towel, which was one of the daily necessities she brought from the Starfall transport ocean-going ship in her backpack:

“You don’t have to be sorry.

I won't say much to comfort you.

But Shelly.

You have the right to cry.

No one can stay strong forever, you or 'they' should have the right to express your emotions for sadness or fear.

I don’t have to carry so much anymore.”

Her words were quiet, but they seemed to reflect her past.

Compared to when Lendl observed the surroundings through his professional habits as a sentinel.

Based on the information given by Shelly, Su Wen walked straight to the depths of the sewer inside the steel gate under the timid but numb gazes of the survivors.

It was some room that was supposed to be a rest room for sewer workers.

It has been cleaned up now, and there are a few tables and iron double beds piled inside.

Amid the roar of steam engines.

The handsome detective looked at the gray-haired man sitting in the middle of the table:

“Viscount Kevins of Homeward Port.

I don't care if you still want to control the only power you have.

But after my companion's 'cleaning' of the sewer just now.

You should understand: I am here to seek cooperation.

Your next answer will determine the future of this harbor and yourself.

Think clearly.

Then give me an answer.”

His words were calm, yet they held a gleam of rational deterrence.

As a scholar.

To some extent, he didn't care about or fear the so-called 'powers that reigned' in the old order.

What makes him feel awed:

Only【Knowledge】

What's more, the handsome detective is very clear about what incompatible rights will breed in the social system he has seen in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

Compared to the capital city that abandoned these survivors.

He has maintained the corresponding respect.

And after listening to what he said.

Viscount Kevins stood up and sighed:
“The biggest regret in life is giving up what you shouldn’t give up and insisting on what you shouldn’t insist on.

Mr. Rhine.

I accept all the conditions you proposed.

Please save this place."

Hear him say that.

Su Wencai finally nodded calmly. Even for Jiang Menghan, this was something he had to confirm.

Followed by.

The handsome gentleman did not exchange too many pleasantries. He raised the question that mattered most to him:

“Eternal night.

What is the cause that He represents?"

I was surprised to hear that Su Wen raised a question about a natural phenomenon that had nothing to do with the disaster.

Viscount Kevins fell into deep thought:
"Are you also drifters?"

"maybe.

You can understand it this way.

After all, that is why the Kingdom of Eternal Night was born."

Hear his answer.

The fifty-something gray-haired Viscount smiled:

"In the education of the nobility, a small part of the 'sealed history' will be passed down through word of mouth.

But in the face of such a disaster.

The so-called history sealed up in the royal capital is nothing but useless knowledge.

Just like [Eternal Night].

I actually know very little about Him.

after all.

Even I have spent all fifty-three years of my life in such an environment.

According to my grandfather:

He is a 'curtain' covering the sky.

And outside the curtain, the stars are twinkling.

And more information may be recorded in the document room of Guidu Port. I heard from Xie Li that you are going to go there with her to look for information."

"Do you have any concept of the stars?"

"It's a celebration every three months, and at that time, we are lucky enough to see the stars."

Clearer?
Su Wen reacted quickly and mapped it into his own memories of the Lost Sea.

He seemed to understand something.

The system prompt also slowly emerged:
[You get the achievement: Night and Stars]
