"I seem to know something, but it seems like... I don't know anything." Maka sat on the simple sofa near the entrance in the central tent, looked up at Lupine and Sarah who had just come in, and said with a wry smile.
The memory before he lost consciousness was the moment he left the small island of Rowena and set foot on the disaster site in England. To be honest, even the impression of that period was a bit hazy, like it was just a dream that lacked follow-up after waking up.
What happened after that? Why did I wake up from the ice coffin that was obviously condensed by the power of the cooling rules
"Yes, I should know... I should know, but what should I know?"
Maka seemed to be looking at Lupine and Sarah, but the intermittent words he spoke to himself undoubtedly showed that he was actually still in a confused state of mind.
"Maka," Lupine sat down next to Maka, some complex expressions just flashed across his face, and he gently put his hand on Maka's shoulder, "You seem to be very confused. , what happened? Can you tell us? "
The physical contact finally brought Maka's thoughts back to reality for the time being.
"As I just said outside," Maka turned to look at Lupin, "I don't know exactly what caused things to become like this... Well, it's you, can you tell me first? You mean? I mean, obviously, my 'sleep' probably wasn't short - I only remember the memory of when I left the island."
"What?" Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this.
It must be said that if it was just amnesia or something, it wouldn't surprise everyone. However, many complicated events had indeed occurred during this period. At this moment, Lu Ping was not so much surprised as he was "thinking a lot" and didn't know where to start.
After all, he was also one of the "witnesses" at the Buckingham Palace in London that day.
Fortunately, there was Sarah beside me at this moment.
"Let me tell you!"
Seeing that Lupine was a little dazed for a moment, the alchemy android girl who had received a lot of favors from Maka held a half-finished doll in her arms and told Maka many things that had happened. Including the tall black figure who is "suspected" of Maka's involvement, whose words and deeds are almost beyond doubt - the demon "Greed".
In fact, midway through the story, Luna appeared at the entrance of the camp, only slightly late. However, after noticing what Sarah was talking about, she closed her mouth that was about to open as soon as she came in and stood aside silently, without disturbing Sarah's narration.
Not long after, as Bill also arrived, the movement outside the central tent became a little noisy - some of the people who had just been live broadcasting the funeral also came over after all.
Maka waved his hand casually to block the noisy people outside the tent. He nodded to Sarah in front of him:
"go on."
"Well," Sarah paused, then continued, "At that time, we lived in Buckingham Palace and used it as a base to start the operation of killing demons - you should be able to understand, after all, no matter what, we must destroy those demons. A terrible enemy of mankind is never a mistake..."
"Well."
Maka didn't say much, but just signaled that Sarah could continue.
I don’t know how long it took, but in Sarah’s detailed and somewhat boring statement, the previous journey in the disaster area headed by Hermione was like a brightly colored picture scroll. A clear view gradually unfolded in front of Bill.
But perhaps because Ron had asked everyone to keep it a secret, even Sarah did not mention Ron's loss of legs in front of Bill, but skipped that part for the time being.
When Sarah finally finished speaking, Maka closed her eyes slightly and quietly repeated the entire description in her mind. He seemed calm, or rather, he seemed calm all the time.
On the contrary, Bill seemed a little hard to accept what Sarah told them about what they had experienced.
"Miss Hohenheim, you just said...that demon 'greedy', is it also Maka?" While Maka was sorting out her thoughts on the sofa, Bill couldn't help but ask first, because this was undoubtedly what he was most concerned about right now. The most incredible question for him.
Then Sarah nodded immediately and answered without hesitation:
"At least I really can't provide any evidence to prove that it was not Mr. Maclean - Miss Lovegood. You think so too, don't you?"
"Um."
Luna, who had been standing there quietly since she came in, pursed her lips slightly. Her eyes looked a little dazed, as if she had returned to her former appearance. I don't know if she is just reminiscing, or if she is more confused.
The camp gradually became quiet, with only a few people breathing lightly or heavily, waiting for Maka, who was thinking, to open her eyes again.
Maybe five or six minutes passed! It might take a while longer, but Maka finally looked around again.
He stared at Luna for a moment, and then said:
"Hermione and the others... aren't you planning to come over?"
"Her current mood may be a little unstable," Sarah explained calmly, "You know, she once made such a determined decision, and now she suddenly has to face new changes... The current situation, It’s a little too unreasonable for her.”
"Well," Maka couldn't help but smile again after hearing this, "It seems that I woke up at a bad time."
And at this moment, Lu Ping, who was hesitating, finally spoke:
"So, Maka... have you thought of anything? I think this is the most important question now."
"Well," Maka sighed, "I do have some ideas... In fact, when I first woke up, I had some guesses. However, because many key points were missing, I Don’t dare to judge easily…”
Saying this, Maka suddenly shook her head.
"It seems that if you want to understand the whole situation, you have to go to England again after all." After saying this, he suddenly stood up from the sofa, "But before that, let's go see Hermione! During this time, it’s been a lot of hard work for you and her.”
"Hermione's word, it's on the beach," Luna whispered.
"Okay, got it." Maka smiled at her, "You guys wait for me here, I'll bring her back right away."
"Um!"
Luna nodded vigorously.
