Hearing the girl's voice, Ronald, who was sitting on the bench, looked up.
The white-gold figure looked a little tired at the moment, but looking deep into his eyes, he felt like an old friend reunited.
She looks quite happy——
"..."
Ronald grinned first, then joked:
"It's been such a long time no see."
"Maybe?"
Patricia also smiled, then turned around and sat on the bench. While doing this, she clearly saw two cracks in the cuff of Ronald's right hand.
She remembers it clearly.
Even before leaving the time warp, the sleeves were still intact.
Immediately, Patricia spoke:
"Ronald, what happened to your sleeve?"
"It was fine just now, right?"
"..."
Ronald looked at the location pointed out by Patricia.
There were two new rips in the cuffs of his coat. He would probably have to ask his landlady to help mend his clothes when he went back.
Or would it be a good idea to buy some new clothes to wear?
Of course, Ronald did not forget to explain to Patricia:
"The ability I activated before was incompatible with the magic book, so when you turned your head, I was thrown out again."
"But it's not a big problem. As far as the results are concerned, I'm still a good person."
"..."
"It seems like it's not easy for you either."
Recalling Ronald's tone when he made the suggestion before, Patricia probably guessed what happened.
Wuwuwu——
哐珰哐珰——
Just then, a train across from the station started neighing.
Although it was not the Dongfeng, Ronald and Patricia still jumped up from their chairs as if they were conditioned reflexes.
This action naturally attracted curious glances from passers-by around him.
"..."
"..."
You two look at me and I look at you.
They looked at each other for a few seconds and then laughed together.
"Hahaha."
"Let's go, there's nothing wrong if we continue to stay here."
"That's right."
Finally looking at the benches on the platform, the two of them walked out together.
But he didn't walk for a minute.
A small detail change appeared in front of the two of them.
As the only train station in the city of Burrenwich, the actual Burrenwich Station has a relatively frequent flow of people.
Walking out of the passage leading to the platform, Ronald and Patricia found that the flow of people began to decrease significantly.
Occasionally, a few pedestrians passing by had panic and fear on their faces.
It was as if he had just seen something terrible.
has a problem--
Faced with such a situation, Patricia took the initiative to stop a young man who looked younger and asked simply:
"Sir, what happened outside?"
"I think everyone's expressions don't look right."
"Huh?" When Patricia stopped him, the young man was obviously shocked by the girl's beauty for a moment. But when he saw the sword on her waist, he immediately explained honestly, "There were several people outside just now.
He was hit by a carriage and many people gathered around him, and many police officers came."
After explaining with a somewhat fearful tone, the young man continued hesitantly:
"Little... miss, I still have to catch the train?"
"excuse me."
Making way, Patricia and Ronald continued walking outside.
At the same time, the girl whispered beside her:
"It should be people from the Investigation Bureau. They noticed the problem at the station, so they sent people in to test the situation."
"..."
Ronald understood the situation instantly.
Previously, the station was enveloped by the chaotic power of the original code. People from the local investigation bureau would naturally come here to investigate the situation and solve the trouble at the same time.
However, the other party's method of entering the station was probably a bit violent.
Just as Ronald was ostracized when he used "The Hammer of Rain and Mist" to control the original code, the investigators who took rough actions were also attacked by the original code.
Unfortunately, they failed.
Moreover, the body was thrown out of the station after death, and was eventually disguised as a car accident scene by other people guarding outside.
In this way, he and Patricia are quite lucky.
Not to mention the resolution of the incident, at least both of them survived intact.
And if this is the case...
Immediately, an idea came into Ronald's mind.
He cast a thoughtful look at the girl next to him before continuing:
"Patricia, I plan to go back to the 'office building' and continue working."
"Do you have any ideas?"
"..."
Patricia was silent for a few seconds.
The heavy word 'office building' in Ronald's tone had already told her what the man in front of her was thinking.
After a few more breaths, the girl suddenly smiled and stretched out her hand:
"I just arrived in Burrenwich today, so I'd better go to the city to find a place to stay."
"Mr. Ronald, nice to meet you."
"Me too."
The two hands were clasped together and they were shaken vigorously. After the girl let go, she decisively continued walking out of the station.
When you leave with the platinum background, you are no different from the passengers getting off the bus around you.
"call--"
Watching Patricia leave, Ronald was not idle either.
Just like in the past when work was over, he walked towards the office building of the station.
At this moment, the meeting on the second floor has ended, and Martina, who was guarding the corridor, is nowhere to be seen.
Except for the cold wind blowing from outside the building, almost no one was moving around the corridor.
Walking to the office on the second floor with a clear goal, Ronald put the train timetable that he had sorted out this morning into a thick stack and the papers he had accumulated in the past. After tying them up, he wrote the date with a pen before walking down.
First floor.
"Krell, please give me the key to the data room."
"I'll put the timetable in there."
"okay."
The colleague looked normal and handed over the key without any doubt.
Taking the key, Ronald walked to the database on the first floor.
The whole process was sparse and ordinary and did not attract anyone's attention.
Click——
The key was inserted into the door lock, and Ronald opened the door to the reference room.
At this time, the power of the original code fell silent, and the data room covered with a lot of dust looked extremely old. With just the action of opening the door, Ronald immediately felt that the air became full of graininess.
"Ahem——"
"..."
Walking into the house with the timetable in hand, Ronald picked up a tied document from the table. He blew away the dust marks left behind with a "whoosh", and then put the organized timetable on it.
"This is the end."
Muttering thoughtfully, Ronald left the data room.
————
A few minutes later.
After handing back the keys, Ronald returned to his office on the second floor. He took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair. He lay weakly in front of his desk and stared at a row of clocks in a daze.
According to common sense, people from the Investigation Bureau should investigate the people at the station.
I am a mysterious person who has registered my name.
It will definitely become a key target of investigation.
Just as I was thinking about this, there was a vague noise coming from downstairs in the office.
With a straight look on his face, Ronald stood up from his chair.
I put on my coat and rolled up my sleeves before walking out of the office.
