Jenkins shook his head quickly:
"Alexia, have you been reading some strange novels recently... Please rest assured, I am not that kind of person. I will come back as soon as possible, and I know there are still people waiting for me."
"Don't talk empty words, what confidence do you have?"
Alexia asked.
"That drop of divinity."
"I bet, before you climb to the ninth floor and see the difference engine, that drop of divinity will definitely be consumed."
"why would you say so?"
"Jenkins, have you forgotten that I can also divination?"
Alexia's divination principle is different from Miss Audrey's, and more similar to a difference engine.
"So apart from divinity, what else does your confidence come from? Don't say it, you feel that fate will bless you."
"I... my essence, this question has been bothering me. Now I am quite convinced that neither life nor death nor machinery nor even destiny is not real."
"what is that?"
"I don't know, I'm sure it's my last resort."
"Jenkins, think about it, think about the [fate] things that have happened to you all the time, these things are the last resort to help you, not the essence of uncertainty."
Alexia let go of Jenkins' hand, then tiptoed and grabbed his collar, forcing him to bend over and bow his head:
"Jenkins, you must come back."
"I know."
She looked up and kissed Jenkins, taking a long time to let go of his collar. He saw Alexia's red eyes for the first time, so he opened his arms and hugged her:
"You should have confidence in me. When have I ever failed?"
"I'm still too weak. If I can be stronger, maybe I can help you, at least I can enter that tower with you."
"Stop being silly, Alexia, when did you become so irrational? Do you think I'll let you face that danger with me?"
Jenkins let her go with a smile:
"I still plan to live after moving to Beldylan. How could I not come back? I promise, I will definitely come back."
He said so again, adding:
"I guarantee it in the name of chocolate, do you believe it this time?"
"Speaking of which, are you going to enter that tower with chocolate?"
Alexia changed the subject abruptly, and Jenkins thought she didn't want to talk about the things that upset her.
"Of course it's impossible. It's so dangerous inside, why is there chocolate? I plan to let someone else take care of her temporarily."
Jenkins said.
"Then take a boat ticket, B-11-5-2305 [Ticket to go home], at least make sure you have one chance to get out of that tower."
"Of course, if possible, I even want to take ten. I'm just worried that once I leave the third floor, I have to climb up from the first floor again. This is not impossible."
He laughed, and was called away by Miss Audrey. The fortuneteller had something to say to Jenkins.
Alexia, who was alone, did not stay where she was secretly sad, but after taking a few breaths, she quickly walked to Jenkins' room in the church, and took out the B-11-5-9421 [Upside Down] hidden by Jenkins Blessing Bracelet·Love]A box put together.
The casket is Jenkins' future niece, sent from a future time capable of giving Jenkins a second chance. Alexia has kept it in the Church of the Sages, obviously this is the safest place.
Even Jenkins didn't know the origin of the box, he thought it was some treasure of Alexia.
"If you don't know what it is until you use it, wouldn't it be too stupid?"
Without hesitation, she directly pressed the button on the lock to open the box, looked inside, and took out a letter. There is no addressee written on the white envelope, and instead of the stamp, a stick figure cat is drawn, which looks a bit like chocolate.
There is another sentence on the envelope:
[Uncle Jenkins said that if you know a secret, you must never tell it, and if you want to tell it, you must tell it in full. He hates "riddlers" who hide half of their words.]
Alexia shook her head and smiled, and opened the letter. There was only one page of letter paper, which was handwritten, and there were nine hyphenated phrases on it:
[Ice in the starry sky, noble death, long-lasting love, silver dragon, ancient army, four in one, god of mortals, lord of all opportunities, sincere friendship.]
She froze for a moment, and finally smiled from the bottom of her heart. After more than ten seconds, she put away the box and put the letter and other items that were not taken out of the box together.
Then he returned to the dining table. Jenkins, who was called away by Miss Audrey, hadn't returned yet, but the other ladies had already started eating. Alexia sat down in her seat, no longer in the gloomy mood just now.
She looked around the table, at all the people here.
"What's wrong?"
Hathaway noticed the strangeness of the lady.
"I was just thinking that Jenkins' greatest wealth is the friendship he made with everyone after he came here. Every footprint he leaves is valuable."
"What's the meaning?"
Hathaway asked again.
"I don't really understand, but I believe that he will be able to come back on time. Yes, he will."
Miss Audrey called Jenkins away. Of course, she didn't want to say goodbye to him. The fact is that the church discovered the eighth doomsday document. The slab was not hidden in the negotiating venue revealed by the opening of the Gate of Vientiane. The slab was in the courtyard directly below the venue, which was very close to the flower garden of fantasy flowers.
The church just let people take a shovel to dig casually, and they dug up the stone slabs buried in the shallow surface. This is the eighth slate, which continues the cloudy way of speaking of the other slates:
[Young shoots poke out of the ground,
Little do they know the world has changed.
gray mist covering the sun,
Dark clouds filled the sky.
all imaginable,
All that is unimaginable,
All that is unimaginable.
The clues have already been revealed.
The gods are watching the doomsday from the clouds,
The king of men raised his sword high.
A voice came from the abyss:
This is the last chapter—
steam!
This is the last cry—
end!
This is the final showdown—
Sin and redemption.]
"I understand other things, but why does the content of this slate look like the last line of a series of poems?"
This was Jenkins' question after seeing the contents of the slate.
"Indeed, in the last few paragraphs, there is an explicit reference to the end, so it looks like the final slate."
Miss Audrey agreed.
"But obviously, now we only know eight emblems of the savior... Could it be that the real purpose of the believers of lies who are suspected of feigning death is to hide their qualifications to symbolize fate? It's not that there are only two believers in lies?"
She looked at Jenkins as she made a guess that she knew was incorrect. Jenkins blinked and immediately changed the topic to something other than believers in lies.
