Phyllis was surprised, "This light is..."
"I don't know, it's probably to return the magic to this world," Roland clapped the ashes on his hands, "We have to get out of here quickly, or it will be troublesome for others to see."
"But isn't this guy the enemy?"
"It's true that it is the enemy, but not everyone has the power to deal with the enemy," he explained. "The times have changed. Even the most vicious people can only be arrested and tried by special departments and personnel." Of course, The fallen demons are even more special. Garcia once mentioned that martial artists who deal with the fallen demons will get a hunting license issued by the association, which not only allows them to attack suspicious targets, but also legally kill those who are trying to fish in troubled waters. Normal awakening By. If this matter is announced, it will undoubtedly cause a wave of public sensation.
"Strange times." Phyllis commented.
The two walked out of the Kaifeng vegetable store, and the chaos outside had begun to ease. It was probably because they saw the Demon Fallen leave suddenly, which relieved everyone who had not yet had time to escape.
Before taking a few steps, Roland saw Zero who was running against the flow of people, running all the way here.
Her expression was anxious, the hair band on her head had also been loosened, and her long snow-white hair was scattered on her shoulders, looking very messy. Several people around tried to stop her, but she used her small body and agile steps to avoid her. It was not until she saw Roland that her expression changed from anxiety to joy.
But this joy only lasted for a few seconds, and the little girl forcibly suppressed the corners of her raised mouth, and said angrily, "Why are you running out now? Even the tortoise can run faster than you, right? uncle!"
Looking at her panting and blushing cheeks, Roland couldn't help bending down and rubbing her head, "Sorry for worrying you."
"Who's worried about you, I'm worried about Felice!" Zero gritted her teeth and glared at him, "This is her first time in this city, what if she is scattered by the crowd!"
Despite what she said, the little girl honestly accepted the full set of touching her head.
After that, Roland spent a lot of time explaining what happened to them, and why they came out so slowly, when the second half was made up. After learning that "the two of them were accidentally attacked by the fallen demon and almost couldn't escape", her dissatisfaction subsided.
Fortunately, there were no more accidents on the next trip. After Roland took them to buy clothes, he went to the hot pot restaurant to settle the dinner. As a delicacy with distinct characteristics, hot pot not only has a strong taste, rich ingredients, but also is relatively cheap. As long as you choose more potatoes, noodles and lotus root slices that are easy to fill your stomach when ordering, you will be able to pay for the three of them. rise.
Phyllis's performance was not much better than when she was in the Kaifeng restaurant. The alternating stimulation of spicy and fresh fragrance made her unable to stop the spoon, and her tearful eyes didn't know whether it was spicy or moved... She drank a lot of the fiery red oil soup, and the people around her were stunned.
It was nine o'clock in the evening when the group returned to the Tongzi Building. Roland climbed up the eighth floor, and when he walked to the door of his apartment, he unexpectedly found Garcia's figure.
She stood in the middle of the aisle with a frosty face, and the low air pressure around her could almost be felt.
Could it be that after hanging up the phone, she has been waiting for her here
Roland twitched the corners of his mouth and said embarrassedly, "Look... I really took my relatives out"
"We can talk now," Garcia cut him straight in.
Probably because the other party's tone was a little rough, Phyllis frowned, "Hiccup... Please pay attention to your attitude, this is the master of the world."
Roland quickly grabbed her, "Cough, it's alright, you go back to the house first. I'll chat with her for a while, and I'll be back soon."
After all, he was the one who made the mistake first. If he was put as a pigeon like this, and he used a clumsy excuse to directly turn off his mobile phone, anyone who changed it would be furious. He thought that a proud person like Garcia would be disappointed and never wanted to deal with him again, but he didn't expect that even if she was perfunctory, she still insisted on waiting for him here, which may mean... The people that the Martial Daoist Association can use It has come to the point of urgency.
Following Garcia to 0827, before Roland sat down, she turned around and asked, "Have you considered it? Or... this is just an excuse, and you regret not wanting to join the association?"
Her eyes were burning, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts.
"Is there any water?" Roland shrugged, walked to the sofa and sat down by himself, "Ice is also fine."
With the light, he seemed to see the veins on the other's head jumping.
Taking a deep breath, Garcia gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pour it for you."
"thanks."
After taking a sip of ice water, Roland slowly opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask a question. Recently, I feel that there are more and more reports about Demon Fallen. Even today I encountered a sudden mutated Demon Fallen when I was shopping... Martial Dao Is the family association in trouble?"
"Are you in the area of Cuigu Park today?" Garcia frowned.
"you know too?"
"Someone called the police, but this kind of thing has to be handled by us in the end. The association will contact the martial artist closest to the incident, and I am one of them."
"That monster..."
"Dead, but we didn't do it, and the core of nature is gone," Garcia said solemnly. "This proves that someone is moving faster than us."
"Who?" Roland asked pretending to be ignorant.
"This question is out of bounds," she shook her head. "In fact, I shouldn't even have told you what I said before, which already involves the association's secrets. As for your question, yes, we did have trouble. The erosion from the outside world is accelerating, and the world could be in for a big crisis.”
Another erosion... Roland's heart froze for a moment, "What kind of crisis?"
"No one knows the answer, maybe the world is destroyed, or everyone is turned into inhuman monsters. Because of this, the association needs more people to stand up to stop the erosion, which has nothing to do with gender, race and national boundaries. It doesn't matter, everyone who has awakened the power of nature should take their own responsibilities!" Speaking of which, Garcia's tone couldn't help but become a little higher, "Indeed, in the battle against external erosion, we may You will sacrifice your life, but this is the duty of a martial artist! I can totally understand your fear and hesitation, but please think about it, if we don’t stand up, who else can protect everyone’s safety?”
Roland fell silent. The frankness of the other party really surprised him. Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid sitting on the ground and raising prices, the difficulties of the association should be concealed as much as possible. However, Garcia not only admitted in disguise that the association was indeed lacking in manpower, but even mentioned responsibility and sacrifice, which was too straightforward.
If other martial artists tried to persuade newcomers to join like her, he could understand why some people who had awakened to the power of nature would rather face the attacks of the fallen demons alone than join the association.
After all, people's interest in righteousness has dropped significantly in this era, and self-interest comes first.
Roland planned to join the association before, just to get remuneration and fame, but now he feels that things may not be that simple. As one of the creators of the dream world, he felt that it was necessary to use the power of the Martial Daoist Association to find out what caused the mutation of the force of nature, and what the external erosion meant.
He faintly felt that these phenomena were probably inseparable from Hongyue.
