Shaco remembered clearly that this was her first time to participate. Previously, she was not even qualified to stand and observe.
It was almost time to start, and there were many people like her holding notes or books in the corridors or roads connecting the lecture halls of Yatu. Among them were also women in gorgeous clothes, or people with bright faces from
Industry elites from all over Manoma, or members of some aristocrats.
An important lecture is held every year, and nearly half of the seats are open to the public. For these people, it is to use money to integrate themselves into certain circles and give themselves the opportunity to create some experiences in the future.
Yatu's lecture theater in the Imperial Historical School and the important lecture halls held here were very famous in the Manoma region in Shako's impression.
Before entering the lecture theater, Shako shook off some snow from her body. When she went to her assigned seat, she put her notes and books on her legs together. During the ten minutes of waiting for the start, she looked around from time to time, letting all kinds of people
Reflected in her own eyes. This is an opportunity to get in touch with the outside world. For her who spends most of her life studying and researching, the Imperial History School is already a home in another sense.
She is not a person who goes out often. She always remembers what happened when she left home and came to Manoma. They all left a deep impression in her heart. Some things that happened later made her clear that as the capital of the empire, Manoma
On the surface, Noma is quiet and full of life, but beneath the surface, there is always a huge danger hidden.
But it has been a long, long time. I don’t know when it started. Sha may have clearly felt that these dangers were blocked by some invisible things and could not get close to her. In fact, she knew very well that someone was protecting her.
It has been like this for a long time, or since a certain point in time. What made her clear about this was that the noble students who had bullied her in the past either suddenly dropped out of school, or came in private to apologize with gifts.
But without any surprise, they all completely disappeared from their side one by one in a very short period of time, making it difficult to find traces.
Just over two years ago, she saw with her own eyes a bright light that blocked the sun suddenly shined in school, and then the ground shook violently. She felt that the danger was only blocked. It was not that she could not get close to her, but that she was not worthy of being approached.
.
Or maybe the danger has not yet discovered the value in itself? Shaco is not sure about this.
"I feel that the world is blurry. In fact, this feeling is correct. There is indeed something behind that fuzzy film." She thought of this sentence during the ten seconds when her eyes were stung by the bright light.
That afternoon, she heard from her classmates and teachers about the huge explosion that occurred at the Shenghuang Hall headquarters. Two weeks later, she and her classmates made a special trip to the location of the Shenghuang Hall headquarters, but a temporary ring had been built to surround the headquarters.
The three-meter-high iron wall can only be heard from the other side of the wall, with the "dang-dang" sound of construction coming from the other side, and large sheets of steam rising up from time to time can be seen.
She and her classmates immediately went to a nearby high-rise building. Behind a window, they saw the huge ravine that had not been "decorated". But it could not be the traces of the explosion. No matter what happened afterward,
No matter how the news explains or describes this matter, she can always feel the concealment in it.
As time passed, the explosion quickly disappeared from everyone's usual topics of discussion. The speed made Shake feel weird, because it was too fast. It was obviously not an ordinary thing, but it was like an ordinary thing.
Just like turning the pages of a book, it passed without any strength.
But that huge ravine has always remained in her heart. For a long time, she would involuntarily associate that ravine with Perkins Kiris's "Strange Creatures" and with the ancient ancient creatures she mainly attacked.
It is connected with history, and it is also connected with the many strange words that she can now translate.
And, connecting with someone I haven't seen for a long time.
When his thoughts came to this point, a burst of loss and inexplicable sadness suddenly appeared in Shako's heart. The feeling of regret at that time. The eyes looking around had lost focus, and the various people around him reflected in the pupils no longer became legends.
electrical signals into the brain.
"Beautiful lady, excuse me, I'm sorry, I want to go there..." A sudden amiable male voice interrupted Shaco's thinking. In his eyes that regained focus, a man carrying a black backpack bent over and carried
With an apologetic smile, he pointed to the aisle on the first floor of the lecture hall, "I'm in the wrong place..."
Shake was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he was doing. He quickly picked up his notes and books and stood up, making a "please come over" gesture: "I'm a little lost."
"Thank you!" The man nodded repeatedly, and with an apologetic look on his face, he carefully passed through the narrow area in front of Sha Ke, went into the passage, and entered the flow of people who were constantly entering the classroom. His back was indistinguishable in the blink of an eye.
Shako exhaled at this time and subconsciously looked at the time, only to realize that several minutes had passed and the entire lecture theater was almost half full. She sat down again, looked forward, smiled and cut off her previous thoughts, waiting for this
The beginning of a lecture.
The surrounding sounds then gradually became smaller. In the first minute or two before the start, there was only a slight "buzzing" sound in the entire huge "Yatu Lecture Hall", which was the wind caused by the full operation of the air circulation system.
the sound of.
Seeing the staff entering the venue and making final preparations for the start of the lecture, Shake took out his pen and wanted to open the notes, but saw the corner of a folded envelope protruding from the notes.
Shake didn't remember that she had written a letter recently, nor would she put the letter in her notes. As she subconsciously took out the envelope, she thought of the man who borrowed it from her just now.
But that's where the thinking ended, because the letter had been taken out. Shako didn't recognize the handwriting on it, and had no impression of it. There were only two sentences on the envelope, one was the recipient and the other was the signature:
To Miss Shaco.
A friend I haven't seen for several years.
Shake felt that her eyes were a little blurry, so she immediately put the letter back into her notes, took off her glasses and wiped them. She took a deep breath, and the thoughts that had just been disconnected were connected at this moment:
"Mr. Cassia, how have you been over the past few years? I wonder how you are doing now. Do you still have a serious face from time to time, but your words are very gentle, without any sense of seriousness?"
"Are you still busy with your work, or are you traveling around the empire and still don't have a fixed residence?"
"Do you still read various books during your normal rest time? Are you still interested in the history and geography of the empire?"
"Actually, you have been to Manoma in the past few years, right? I really want to feel that occasionally, like a hallucination, I always feel that someone is watching me from a distance,,, if
This feeling is correct, I think that person should be you, Mr. Cassia,,,"
