"Try to see if the door you came in can be opened."
After an embarrassing few seconds of silence, Miss Magic suggested in a low voice.
Jenkins nodded, lifted his legs vigorously and walked to the door with heavy steps, and pushed the door open with a light force. Although the interior is pitch black from the outside, the outside can be seen from the inside.
It was still torrential rain, and the cloud was almost pressing down from the sky. The howling wind broke into the library through the door Jenkins opened, making the man at the door shiver involuntarily.
"Let's go."
He turned around and went to help Miss Silver Flute who was still unconscious, and Miss Magic stood up on her own. But she didn't go to the door, but went straight to the bookshelf over there, reached out and took down the book "Abyssal Runes".
"what are you up to?"
"Take souvenirs. Mr. Candle, would you like to take some souvenirs too? This is a rare opportunity."
As she spoke, the woman waved the book with cool-colored stripes at Jenkins. Those spots are not evenly displayed on the cover of the book, but intertwined with each other according to inexplicable rules. While the woman was waving the book, Jenkins seemed to hear a call from the abyss.
"Isn't it too dangerous? This is a strange place."
Jenkins remains conservative.
"Of course I know that this is a strange place. But in my opinion, compared with my humble life, these rare knowledge are the most precious. If I die because of greedy peeking at this knowledge, then this will be my last A glorious way to die."
"Are you a follower of the sage?"
"No, I am a believer in the god of rituals."
The woman nodded affirmatively, and the corners of Jenkins' mouth trembled, but he firmly refused to take the book. It would not be worthwhile to get cursed because of this, and none of the books here interested him.
Suddenly, he felt his shoulders clear, and the puppet chocolate jumped off Jenkins' shoulders very disobediently. Although it has a wooden body, it is still very agile. It first jumped onto the old man's wheelchair, then jumped from the handle of the wheelchair to the top of the bookshelf.
Its little paws reached down, rubbing against the spine of one of the books.
"No, the books here are not ours, and if you tamper with other people's things, you will be cursed!"
Jenkins warned that he didn't expect Chocolate to make an aggrieved "meow~" sound. He could only temporarily put Miss Silver Flute down, and then jumped up to grab the tough cat away.
Only then did I see the book that the cat likes, the title is "The Lost Faith-The Original World". The spine of the book is black except for the title, and the thickness of the whole book is about the same as the red bricks used in construction.
"That's not our book. If you like tearing up books, can I buy you other books when I go back?"
While persuading the unhappy cat, he put Miss Silverpipe up again, and walked out of the library side by side with Miss Magic.
Stepping into the rain, looking back, the door of the dilapidated house turned into an exit, with endless white lights shining inside. This is the color of survival for the bestowers, and the two who remained sober couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Can we leave?"
Jenkins asked tentatively, wondering if the guest who was going to be entertained would be blown up to death at the end, whether he was "entertained" or not.
"sure."
The weirdo replied indifferently, leaning against the wall of the dilapidated house, he didn't seem to care about the three of them going or staying. He waved the hands on the left side of his body, indicating that the three of them could leave at any time.
Jenkins looked at Miss Magic's expression, and the latter didn't mean to stay here. So they took a last look at the whole view of the dilapidated house, and the two carried Miss Yindi into the light door one after the other, leaving only the strange man standing alone in the rain.
It shook its head while sighing, and stepped away from the eaves. The rain washed over his body, and his body melted into the soil with the rain as if melting.
The rain soon cleared up, leaving only a solitary dilapidated house still standing in the middle of the wasteland. And the last gust of rainwater on the ground flowed into the light gate that hadn't disappeared along the uneven ground.
For Jenkins, this expedition to the Paradox was just an accident. Although the encounter in the Paradise made him confirm for the first time that the Paradise is the fragment that dominates the world, he did not expect to rely on this Paradise to upgrade. He is not a greedy person, so when a huge amount of spirit flows into his body, what he thinks about is what gift he can get this time.
And when his body returned to the material world, he immediately found the bracelet wrapped around his wrist. It is not accurate to say that it is a bracelet, because he has never seen a bracelet that is liquid and flows.
Chocolate seems to be very interested in this thing, grabbing Jenkins' sleeve and going to get down. But the man knew the cat's temper, put it directly on the top of the head, and then put on the hat. Chocolate can be heard screaming dissatisfied, and its voice sounds very healthy.
After returning to the material world, the three returned to their human form. The three items that served as proof of identity returned to their original state, except that Miss Magic's rune pendant had been completely shattered.
Jenkins unexpectedly found that he had an extra ability:

"Don't be surprised, I also retained a strange ability."
Miss Magic saw through Jenkins' thoughts as if she could read minds.
Seeing the woman's pale complexion, the man remembered to reach out to help her heal. After activating [Essence of Life], I didn't see any vision of vines or other things stabbing from my wrist. There was still some green breath seeping out of my body, but it seemed more intense than before.
The effect of the treatment is immediate. Although it is useless for mental trauma, at least the physical injury has been healed. But for waking Miss Silver Flute, Jenkins really had no choice but to let Miss Magic handle it by herself in the end.
He still remembered what was going on now, so after bidding farewell to the women and rushing out of the cave, he summoned the unicorn and flew into the evening sky.
Fortunately, this trip to the treacherous land did not consume too much time. When Jenkins flew from the north of the Shire to the valleys of the south of the Shire, the swarm of stray butterflies was still there.
He jumped from the sky, then picked up his cloak and put it back on. By the time Jack Sr. came across the canyon, Jenkins had caught 16 butterflies.
"Well, it looks like we've had a lot of luck this year."
Old Jack couldn't imagine what Jenkins went through in just half an hour. The two chatted and laughed and prepared to return with a box full of butterflies. Chocolate, who was still depressed because of the book, had completely forgotten about it and started thinking about the butterflies instead.
