Chapter 67: Appearance(1/2)

Suddenly, the muscles on Wendel's back became completely tense, showing a state of about to explode.

He was shocked and suspicious, and several speculations flashed through his mind in an uncontrollable way:

"The residents of utopia are monsters in human skin. They usually look normal, but whenever they encounter logical blind spots, they will show a different side than ordinary people and ignore the obvious problems?

"Or, the platform staff had already found that I was lying and was just unwilling to deal with me, so they deliberately pretended not to see me and let me go? Why is that?

"Well, I can explain it by taking my suitcase to the bathroom on the platform with my suitcase, which is completely evident by the reason why I am afraid of losing my luggage. But the entire platform is covered, so there is no need to take out an umbrella in advance. Moreover, the rain has stopped a long time ago..."

Wendel's eyes subconsciously turned out the window, and saw the sun shining brightly on the current platform, and one passenger after another was waiting in a very orderly manner behind the cordon, which was completely different from the gloomy and dark feeling given by Utopia.

Huh... He let out a breath and his body suddenly relaxed a little.

This is not a utopia... I have left... Wendel muttered to himself in his heart, while raising his hand to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead.

When he recalled his omissions just now, he felt like he was in a nightmare that he could not wake up no matter what.

After a while of slowing down, Wendel stood up and decided to go to the platform to smoke a cigarette to relieve his mood.

Tobacco comforted him well and allowed him to review his experiences in utopia again.

During this process, he was inspired by his own experience:

"Maybe it was because I sincerely helped Tracy that the platform staff deliberately ignored my problem and let me go?"

Wendel is more willing to accept this explanation than the inhabitants of the entire utopia are monsters in human skin.

At this moment, he saw the train leader talking to a group of people from the corner from the corner.

Wendell leaned over a few steps without a trace, wanting to hear what they were saying.

With the help of hearing that surpasses normal people, he vaguely heard a conversation without arousing suspicion:

"We...we stood on the platform...utopia..."

"The Kingdom...No..."

"Please keep it confidential..."

Wendel's eyebrows moved slightly, and combined with the description of the documents in his arms, he probably understood what the group of people were saying to the conductor.

They are saying that there is no utopia station in the kingdom, and the status of the steam train last night was "missing"!

At this moment, Wendel's heart once again felt a strong sense of fear, and he felt that being able to leave the utopia alive was the greatest luck.

…………

It took Alfred nearly a week to return to Beckland from Port Escoson.

This is because he visited the family of his deceased comrades, former friends, elders who returned to the fiefdom for vacation, and some of his family's partners along the way.

"It's more exhausting than participating in a battle." Alfred complained to his father, Earl Hall.

Earl Hall smiled and pointed at the stairs:

"Go back to your room and have a rest first, and then chat in the study later."

He was quite satisfied with the mental state and growth progress of the second son.

Alfred looked around and asked with a smile:

"Where is Beckland's most dazzling gem?"

He paused and added:

"And, where is Hibert?"

Earl Hall smiled and said:

“Audrey went to her foundation and came back in the afternoon, and she kept complaining that you could not provide a certain itinerary, leaving her unable to know when you would arrive.

"Hibert is now the cabinet secretary and is very busy."

Alfred nodded, without saying anything, went back to the room to take a shower, changed into a shirt, vest and formal attire.

"I prefer Dongbailang's casualness." He looked in the mirror and said to his adjutant with a smile.

"You have a more noble temperament like this." His adjutant said as he handed over the documents in his hand, "General, this is given to you by the MI9th Department."

"MI9?" Alfred thoughtfully broke the seal of the document bag, "Will there be a utopian investigation result so soon?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken out the documents and started to read them.

During this process, Alfred's page turn movements became slower and slower. At the end, he went straight to the beginning and read it again.

The main contents of this investigation report are divided into two parts:

First, the MINI escorted the members of Alfred's report to mistakenly enter a utopia, witnessed a murder, and forced himself to leave in the middle of the night and returned to the steam train; second, the utopia station does not exist on all train lines from Disi Bay to Beckland, and there is no utopia port in the wilderness, and subsequent investigators found no traces.

Neither of these situations exceeded Alfred's tolerance, and what surprised him and was the criminal of the murder case:

Her name is Tracy, the owner of a hotel, received secondary education, graduated from a grammar school, and later became a mistress of a businessman, who has recently been trying to get rid of this identity.

This is quite consistent with Tracy, the owner of the port hotel Alfred met, and every detail is consistent.

So, Alfred judged that the criminal of the murder was Tracy, the beauty who received some education and played sad music at night.

"Is this the story behind her?" Alfred said silently.

This made the residents of that utopia look extremely real, not just an illusion as Alfred expected.

In other words, when outsiders leave, the residents of the utopia still have their own lives, their own love, hatred, pain and sorrow, and all kinds of experiences.

Except for the fact that utopia does not seem to exist in the real world, it is almost the same as the ordinary towns in the Kingdom of Ruen.

Perhaps, the utopia really exists, and everyone there is real, but if you want to enter there, you must be at the right time and at the right place... Alfred nodded invisibly and put away the investigation report feedback from MI9 with emotion.

For him, even if this matter ends here, he has no idea of ​​in-depth investigation.

You should know that in the Southern Continent, there are countless strange things and phenomena. If you are too curious, it will only bring you danger beyond your imagination.

After sorting out his clothes and mood, Alfred came to his father's study and knocked on the door with relief.

"Please come in." Earl Hall's voice came out.

Alfred cleared his golden hair, pushed the door and entered, and found a seat to sit down.

Earl Hall looked at him with a smile:

"I'm already a man."

"No one would say such things to a man," Alfred responded without any restraint.

"In my heart, you are still the somewhat rebellious boy." Earl Hall smiled and said, "Are you an extraordinary person in Sequence 5?"

Alfred replied in a pun:

"Yes, I'm already a real knight."

Earl Hall nodded and suddenly sighed:

“You should have gone through a lot of pain.

"As far as I know, both potions and wars can cause serious harm to people, from physical to mental."

"Everyone will suffer a lot of pain in his life." Alfred said with a sigh.

He used the Ruen style euphemism.

After pausing, he added:

"I am in a better state than when I left Beckland. As long as I master the method, at my level, I don't need to worry too much about the crazy impact."

Earl Hall stopped mentioning this matter and said instead:

"Your sister has also become an extraordinary person."

"Huh?" Alfred was startled, then remembered something, and said with a little annoyance, "I thought she had really just changed her hobbies."

"It seems that Audrey's adventure is helped by you," said Earl Hall with a slight surprise. "I hope you can talk to her and tell her how dangerous, crazy and painful the path of the Sequence Potion is, so that she can stay at the current level."

Alfred responded without hesitation:

“I’ll do it.”

In the evening, I belonged to Audrey's small study alone.

"Alfred, what's the matter with me?" Audrey, who had changed into home clothes, led Susie and opened the door for her brother.

She has been waiting for her brother here for several minutes.

"Something I want to remind you." Alfred walked into the study and pulled a chair and sat down.

Audrey smiled and pointed at the golden retriever dog and said:

"Do you need to let Susie out?"

After looking at the golden retriever dog that was already squatting beside him, his eyes full of humanity, Alfred couldn't help but smile:

"No need, I think it shouldn't eavesdrop on our conversation."

"She." Audrey corrected casually.

When the noble girl sat opposite her, Alfred sincerely sighed in his heart:
To be continued...
