Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

After watching SilverAsh leave the doctor's office, Inès immediately disappeared from sight.

"Ms. Inès is always so elusive." Amiya smiled.

Little did they know that Ines was not wandering around this time, but had left Rhodes Island to look for an acquaintance far away.

"That guy is probably still in a state of disgrace."

Before leaving Rhodes Island, Inès coughed twice, "But he probably won't recognize the system."

------------

The next morning, Shen Qi got up early as usual. When he was washing in front of the mirror, he suddenly found that he had dark circles under his eyes.

"Tsk, you even have dark circles under your eyes."

Unfortunately, Shen Qi didn't have any makeup, so he couldn't cover his dark circles.

【Think about what you were doing at midnight yesterday. 】

The system spoke the truth, and Shen Qi was speechless.

"Just chatting..."

Yesterday at midnight, Shen Qi had nothing to do so he went to chat in the "Adventurer's Alliance" group. He got so excited that he added everyone as a friend and didn't go to bed until after three o'clock.

[You don't realize one thing, there is a time difference between you and people in other worlds. The time in each world is not consistent. Maybe the adventurer you are chatting with is still at noon.]

"How should I know this?"

[Then you must know it now. ]

"I understand. I will do it again in the future."

After Shen Qi said this, the system crashed directly, and the system sound never appeared again.

Shen Qi packed up and went to the cafeteria. He saw Texas just walking out with a smile on his face.

Texas also smiled when he saw Shen Qi: "Good morning, thousand years."

"morning."

Shen Qi also replied, but he saw that Texas was staring at his eyes, as if he noticed something.

"Qian Nian, why are your dark circles so heavy?"

Good guy, I noticed it.

System: You deserve it.

"I couldn't sleep yesterday." Shen Qi could only say this. If he told the truth, Texas would laugh at him for a whole year.

"Oh, then you should take some rest."

Texas was also brief and to the point: "I'm going to the trading post first. See you later."

"OK, bye."

Shen Qi waved his hand and walked into the cafeteria. Strangely, he didn't see Ines today - she always arrived at the cafeteria at 7:30 every day. It might be the damn formatted schedule of the system.

"Stupid system, where have you been?"

......

no respond.

"My goodness, could it be that she was knocked unconscious?"

------------

Some ruins.

This place had just experienced a great battle a few days ago, and now there are only broken walls and two silent people.

"Long time no see, Inès."

The man sighed. He had obvious Sarkaz horns, red hair, and the eye patch on his right eye looked particularly awkward. Yes, he was the Hedley who shouted that Inès was dead!

"Hedley, you still look dusty."

Inès still made a mocking remark, but Hedley did not say anything.

"It seems you are living well."

Hedley paused: "You haven't contacted me recently."

"First of all, I have no obligation to contact you." Ines said ruthlessly, "Just because I haven't contacted you doesn't mean I'm gone, so you don't have to worry about me.

"Secondly, I've been in Rhode Island recently."

Hedley was somewhat interested: "Always in Rhodes Island? This is not your style."

Ines thought: If there wasn't a host on Rhodes Island, she wouldn't want to stay on the island forever.

"If you're still thinking of me as the guy who almost fell off a blimp, then that's not right."

She glanced at the scenery in the distance: "We have been through life and death in Kazdel, but now you are still alone. Should I laugh at you or pity you?"

Hedley was speechless. Reality is not a movie. An undercover agent can never live to the end. He was a tough guy all his life, but he was completely unrestrained in front of Inès.

"You've changed, Inès."

Hedley smiled and said, "You used to have social problems."

"People always have to make changes. I've been staying in Rhode Island for a long time now, so I'm always going to change."

Inès seemed very calm. In fact, all the changes she made were due to the existence of the host. The system took over this body and could only try to cater to Inès' personal settings.

Seeing that Hedley was silent for a long time, Inès touched the horns that she had polished to please the Sarkaz: "You are a man, if you become like that someday, I will not see you off."

The two still seemed to have not opened their hearts to each other, but their years of comradeship made them the most familiar strangers.

In fact, Ines had already used his mind-reading ability. He knew Hedley's predicament, but he didn't say it out loud, leaving the man with the last bit of face.

"Walk together?" Hedley managed to say, "After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Inès accepted it, and as for the host, that was a matter for later.

The two walked through the ruins, just like the war in Kazdel. Now that she had taken off her mask and was living, he didn't need to hide it anymore.

It is still cloudy today, with birds circling.

"When you are free, you can come to Rhodes Island to see me."

While walking, Inès threw down a few words, turned around, and disappeared from Hedley's sight.

"Inès hasn't changed that much."

Hedley stayed where he was, sighed, and walked in another direction.

......

"Phew, perfect performance."

Ines wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "No problem. This guy will definitely not doubt me."

The system is indeed an intelligent body. Not long after taking over this body, it can already perfectly play the role of Inès. Her long stay in Rhodes Island may be the only point of suspicion for others, but she can get away with it with an explanation.

If Hedler really came to Rhodes Island to see her someday, she would have to organize her words again.

"I'm sorry, host. I've been disconnected from you for a while. I'm rushing back now."
