Chapter 1355 The Fallen Empire (12)

The scream lasted only about a second.

Mariana, who was kicked out of the hole in the wall, was horrified and quickly stopped the pointless physical exertion and tried to stabilize her body in the air. At the same time, flesh and blood vines escaped, trying to grab anything to slow down her descent.

"As expected of the Awakened One."

Fu Qian sighed in admiration and widened the hole with another kick.

While the way out was smoother, the few fulcrums that Mariana had finally found were no longer able to provide assistance in an instant, and the acceleration was once again full.

Well--

Esther, who was already dumbfounded, and Ben, the awakener, who had not had time to react, were both picked up by him in the next moment and thrown into the howling cold wind.

…

Although it is obviously in the countryside, it is not a pure prison after all. The surrounding environment of the building is still good at a glance.

Uniform brown walls, neat flowers and trees, and narrow but flat stone roads - of course they are uneven now.

With a dull sound, Fu Qian, who was bearing the weight of the three people, fell to the ground, and a pit was created under his feet.

The dust was flying, and he threw Esther and Esther to the ground and looked up.

Under the repeated resistance of the flesh and blood vines, Mariana, who is not afraid of heights, arrived first and finally hung on a sculpture on the outer wall.

"Okay, it's your turn, so what's the plan?"

Facing Mariana, who was obviously in a state of excitement, Fu Qian made no comment on her performance and handed over the command as promised.

…

"Go in that direction... be quick... there is too much movement, the people inside must have noticed..."

After all, Mariana knew the basics. Faced with such a domineering escape method, she adjusted her emotions a little and landed smoothly with the help of flesh and blood vines.

And Fu Qian was not even held accountable. The somewhat disgraced man panted while pointing out the way forward.

"good."

Keep your word before paying, no objections.

As for the remaining two, although they didn't look so embarrassed on the surface, but stimulated by the free fall just now, it was still a little difficult for them to express their opinions, so they all chose silence is golden.

…

The Laertin in the nightmare was still very different from where he came from.

Through the small window of the carriage, Fu Qian observed the night scene outside.

The movement just now indeed aroused alarm, but it was obviously not enough for this team.

After easily escaping from the lunatic asylum-like place, the group went straight to the bustling city.

There was obviously no jailbreak part of the original plan, and the problem was that there was no replacement clothes prepared at all.

Taking into account the slightly eye-catching attire of the two people in front of Fu, Mariana immediately arranged the transportation, and Ben ran ahead and drove the car himself.

Along the way, the night in this nightmare became even more lively.

You can see all kinds of travelers, men, women, old and young, even dressed in different styles.

The same goes for the houses on the street, and many of the buildings are even more exquisite.

It is somewhat understandable why Esther would accept the statement that "the reality before her eyes is reality, and the world of her nine-year-old self is a nightmare."

But the wonderful place is here. Although I didn't see those magnificent churches along the way, I still found that this is Laerting.

A nightmare that corresponds to reality actually looks more prosperous and lively, which has to be said to be a bit weird.

"We'll be at our destination soon, and you'll be safe there."

At this time, Mariana next to her broke the silence and spoke softly to Esther.

The latter was almost alone in the corner and hardly initiated any communication along the way.

Such a performance undoubtedly made Mariana a little worried, knowing that the other party had been "poisoned" by Fu Qian.

Even with the kind words of comfort, the other party still just nodded slightly and said nothing.

She sighed lightly but didn't mind, and soon Mariana turned to Fu Qian with a serious look on her face.

"Although it may not be meaningful, Mr. Grimshaw, I need you to promise that you will not do the dangerous actions just now, such as the dark moon... I don't want to bring a big trouble to where I will stay later."

"In return, I promise to convey your information to Mrs. Raven and let her decide whether to meet you. I believe this should be something you are interested in."

It was obvious that this person had not given up thinking along the way, and had been thinking about the reason why Fu Qian was willing to go with him.

"Sounds fair, and I'm generally a low-key person, but there's a slight question here."

Fu Qian nodded slightly, then changed the subject.

"According to your philosophy, it seems that you shouldn't be too afraid of death here, but judging from the series of reactions just now, you are still trying your best to avoid this. Do you have any special concerns?"

As if she didn't expect Fu Qian to ask this, Mariana looked slightly embarrassed and finally just shook her head.

"It wouldn't be a nightmare if it were that easy... So you accept the request? We don't have much time."

Not much time, that's true.

Smile before paying.

"accept."

…

"This is your secret base? It doesn't look low-key enough."

Mariana's description was accurate. Not long after, the carriage drove directly into a spacious courtyard.

Although it is not magnificent, it can be called luxurious at first glance.

Except that there weren't many people there, it was a little quiet in the night.

"According to you, whether we are low-key or not is meaningless?"

With a cold snort, Mariana asked Esther to get out of the car and motioned for Fu Qian to follow.

Obviously very familiar with this place, Mariana led her all the way to a room and motioned for a moment to wait.

"I'm going to take Esther there first. You wait here for a moment. It won't be long."

"good."

Before paying, he still kept his promise and accepted the arrangement.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Mariana breathed a sigh of relief and left the room with Esther without saying anything...

And left this courtyard...

That's right, Fu Qian confirmed that after pretending to be in a circle, Mariana kept walking, took Esther, and quietly left here by a different route than when she came.

It seems that my question just now is reasonable. This place is indeed not the base of the awakened ones.

After some inner struggle, Mariana finally chose to be cautious.

He may not convey his interest in meeting to Mrs. Raven, but he must ensure the latter's absolute safety.

If Mrs. Raven doesn't want to see her, then Fu Qian believes that no one will come to this place again.

And even if you agree, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to do it again and again. For me, the most precious thing now is time.

Even so, Fu Qian still did not choose to follow, but waited silently.

Bang bang!

After almost half a minute passed, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Even before Fu Qian could speak, a middle-aged lady with a graceful posture had already pushed the door open and entered.

"Good evening, Mr. Grimshaw."

"Good evening."

He nodded in response before paying.

Who else could it be.

Mariana may have done her part, but she clearly didn't understand the responsibilities of a resistance leader.
