"What will the world look like after liberation?" Roland asked, "What benefits can you get? Can you get rid of the conscious world and become a physical existence?"

"Honestly, I don't know." Lan laughed, "But no matter what, it's better than being imprisoned here forever. At least - the future is full of infinite possibilities."

Roland stared at her for a long time. Her expression was very natural, as if she had made an ordinary choice.

It seemed that there was basically no hope of finding a flaw in Lan through dialogue. He thought to himself, unless he could bring Nightingale into the dream world. The ensuing inquiries yielded very little results. The answers when it came to the gods were always silent, and she was unable to help in the battle of divine will.

Even restricted by the rules of the dream world, she can only act as a martial artist here, and secretly transmitting information is the limit. According to Lan, different areas in the consciousness world have different rules, which cannot be tampered with even by gods. It is with the help of this that she can get a chance to breathe and secretly look for a savior who can stop the war of divine will.

But until all this is completely over, she will not be considered truly free - the shackles that bind her still exist, and may turn her efforts into nothingness at any time.

When sending Lan to the door of the store, Roland asked the last question.

"By the way, you said at first that you didn't expect me to open a cafe of my own. Is there really a Rose Cafe in this city?"

"Yes," Lan said with a slight smile, "it's in Prism City."

"But I clearly asked Garcia——"

"The cafe is located in the middle of the city. Only senior members of the Martial Arts Association can enter there. At that time, I already knew that the association planned to issue you a hunting license. After you get it, you can pass through the central area. But what I didn't expect was that you He actually has no interest in the association at all, and has never been to Prism City even after getting the license." Lan paused, "By the way, the central storage vault that stores the cores of the fallen demons is at the lowest level of the city's spine. Generally speaking, there are only Only those who are guard and above can enter and leave."

So that's what happened... Roland finally understood why he couldn't find the agreed-upon location. The Emotional Rose Cafe is a welfare facility exclusively for internal personnel, and they must be high-ranking figures.

"Then the next meeting - I mean, if necessary, which cafe should we choose? After all, there are two Roses now."

"It's better to stay in the same place," she said softly, looking at the towering tube building. "Garcia lives in this building, right? It's good to come and visit occasionally. I... maybe I like it here."

maybe? Don’t you even know if you like it or not? Roland raised his eyebrows and didn't answer any more.

After saying goodbye, Lan's back gradually disappeared into the streets.

Roland leaned against the door of the store, digesting the huge amount of information gained from this conversation.

Whether it is the dream world or the real world, everything seems to have become clearer than ever before. Magic, divine will, consciousness, dawn, bottomless abyss... these words are no longer just simple concepts, but newly acquired words. The information is connected into a whole.

Just as he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a strange tremor pass through his body!

Roland suddenly raised his head and found that a twisted ripple appeared in front of him, as if there was an endless transparent wall sweeping across the entire street, and after passing him, it quickly expanded into the distance.

What's happening here?

He looked at the other people in the community with some surprise, but the uncles and aunties didn't seem to notice any difference just now, and they were still talking and laughing while doing their own thing.

If he hadn't had a similar experience, he would have almost thought he was hallucinating.

It was unmistakable. Roland clenched his fists. This was a change that only he could feel - and its fluctuations were quite similar to the sensation of heaven and earth produced when he recovered the core of a magical creature. Although the former made him feel comfortable and warm, the latter made him feel faintly uneasy.

Could it be that something had an impact on the dream world, causing such a vision to appear?

It's a pity that Lan has already left, and he didn't go to Prism City to get the association's mobile phone, otherwise he might be able to ask something from her.

Roland suppressed his distracting thoughts, locked the door of the cafe, and returned to the Tongzi Tower.

He originally planned to break off the connection with the dream and return to reality, but as soon as he opened the door of 0825, he saw Jie Luo's sneakers still placed at the entrance.

He couldn't help but be stunned. The conversation with Lan lasted for more than an hour at least. It was already past the time for school. Why hasn't Jie Luo gone out yet?

Looking towards the living room, Roland was surprised to see the little girl lying motionless on the ground with two broken water glasses beside her.

"No way……"

He walked quickly to the other party, knelt down and held the other party's wrist.

The pulse is still beating.

Looking at the other person's face again - Jie Luo's eyes were closed tightly, her brows were slightly frowned, and her cheeks were red, as if she was enduring some pain.

Roland tried to touch her forehead, and felt a burning sensation in his palm.

Is this... a fever?

Judging from the way she fell, she probably lost her balance suddenly while clearing the coffee table.

Hell, she was still fine in the morning.

However, Roland's high-spirited heart also dropped a lot. It was better to be sick than to be attacked by the devil. The moment he saw the little girl fall, he almost thought that the gods had sent men to seek revenge.

Roland picked him up without hesitation, ran down the building in three steps and then got into the van.

It was probably because of the bump that Jie Luo regained some consciousness. She opened her eyes and murmured in a low voice, "I broke the...cup on the table..."

"I saw."

"I'm sorry... I will compensate... you. Don't drive me... to the countryside."

Is this guy... is he burned out?

Roland put her in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt, "Shut up and don't say anything."

Just as he pulled away to start the car, Jie Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Uncle... don't leave."

This was the first time that the little girl, who almost always looked at him with stern eyes, had seen this look. Looking at the other party's almost pleading expression, Roland couldn't help but think of the words she wrote in her diary. It was probably because the high fever made her unconscious that she revealed her most vulnerable side, and she didn't know how her family treated her in the past. - Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't worry, I won't let you leave before your rent is paid in full."

Hearing these words, Zero slowly closed her eyes, but still didn't let go of her hand.

After being sent to the hospital, it was a lot of trouble, registration, diagnosis, hospitalization, water delivery... It was basically the afternoon when the whole thing was done. Although the condition was not yet clear, the little girl's condition was stable.

It wasn't until evening that the attending doctor found him.

"Are you really a martial artist?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Roland asked.

"Please don't tease us next time." The other party said angrily, "That girl is not sick at all, but has awakened the power of nature. Although there are not many such cases, there will always be such a person among hundreds of people. One or two people who are unwell, has the Martial Arts Association never told you this?"

"What?"

"Awakening. Really, if a martial artist in the hospital hadn't noticed this situation, I would have thought it was some kind of rare disease." The doctor's tone was full of impatience, "You can go through the discharge procedures and take her with you. Go home."

…

After struggling for a long time, Roland returned to Tongzi Tower with Jie Luo still sleeping.

Looking at the little white-haired girl curled up in his arms, he let out a long sigh... Are you awake? Unexpectedly, she, who was once a pure person, could not escape the favor of magic even in this world. This can only be said to be fate. But at least, with him watching over her in the dream world, she probably won't repeat the same mistakes she made in her last life.

At this time, the sky has been shrouded in darkness, and only the dim light from a row of old chandeliers and the occasional flying insects that hit the lights are left in the long corridor. When he approached 0825, he unexpectedly saw another familiar figure - Garcia. The other party was sitting in the hallway with his back against the door of his house.

What is going on today? One after another came looking for trouble, and I had agreed with Nightingale that I would only sleep for a short while. It was probably almost time for dinner over there.

"Hey," Roland knelt down in front of her, "Why are you in the mood to wait for me here? Could it be that you have lost your key and want to spend the night at my house?"

Garcia didn't sneer immediately, which made him feel something was wrong.

When the other party raised his head, Roland suddenly didn't say a word.

I saw that her face was full of tears.

"Prism City... was attacked by a large group of demon-fallen people... I heard from those who escaped that my master... my master was killed by the demon-fallen ones in order to stop the enemy and protect everyone from retreating..."
