Zhou Jinru's scalp was numb. He did not immediately break away from Belinda's embrace and looked at the citizens who were collapsed together. The music was still playing in his ears, but the current situation was beyond his expectation.

"What's wrong with you?"

He pulled Belinda's arm hard and found that the other party's strength was very strong and she was not willing to leave at all.

Her eyes were blurred and she whispered: "There is a saying in your Yan country that moths fly into flames."

She is now the moth flying into the flames.

Zhou Jinru ignored her at all. This woman had lost her mind. Now he must find a way to find Seria.

"return."

Thinking of these two people silently in his mind, his body immediately sank. Because his consciousness of autonomy was extremely strong, it only took a very short time to wake up from the bed.

Drowsily, he reached out and patted his forehead. He entered the dreamland again and appeared in the square ten meters away from Belinda. At his feet were the citizens who collapsed on the ground. The music was still the same melody, and the time interval in between could be almost ignored.

.

"Now listen to me, I don't have time to play games with you!"

He turned to leave, but Belinda's call came from behind: "You want to find the Queen of Diamonds, do you know where she is?"

The voice was extremely cold and no longer ambiguous as before. Belinda's expression was calm, and the look she looked at Zhou Jinru did not have that burning feeling.

"lead the way."

I don’t know what happened during his absence, but at least he can speak normally. Zhou Jinru will not refuse the other party’s request. He is still confused until now.

"It seems you know nothing about our situation."

Belinda's fingers holding the door handle were trembling. She seemed calm, but her words were trembling.

Zhou Jinru sat in the back row and looked anxiously at the people lying on the ground everywhere. They seemed to have no worries about what was about to happen.

There is no future. Could it be that the real meaning of this sentence is that their dungeon is coming to its final moment?

"You can tell me, maybe I can do something."

Belinda started the car slowly and shook her head slightly: "There is no way. Even the Queen of Diamonds is helpless. No one can save us."

Zhou Jinru frowned and said, "Seraya said that?"

"The Queen of Diamonds went out in the dark for a while. She would rest for a while every time she came back, but this time she rested for two full days and brought back desperate news."

Belinda said the most desperate words in the calmest tone. Zhou Jinru heard this in disbelief, but he could also feel the fear in her heart.

This underground city is the only one within the limits of what they can explore. Apart from the people living here, there is no other sound.

"Is what you said true? Are there other underground cities that exist further away?"

"I don't know. This is what the Queen of Diamonds meant. She told us everything. Maybe not, but it is definitely the part we can know."

Zhou Jinru nodded and pointed at the people outside the car window: "Are they all dead?"

"Not yet, but at least I can have one last sweet dream."

There were tears in the corners of Belinda's eyes, and she couldn't help wiping her cheeks several times.

"I'm ready, all of us are ready."

The vehicle stopped outside the executive office. Zhou Jinru quickly got out of the car and rushed inside without encountering any obstruction along the way. There were even guards opening the door for him. It seemed that someone had already ordered him to do so.

He stepped into Ceria's office and saw the Diamond Queen wrapped in a black cloak standing in front of her lover's portrait. Even though the portrait had been cut open and had not been repaired, she still stretched out her arms.

His fingers gently caressed her face, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.

"You came."

"I need an explanation. One of your men said that there is no future here. You can tell me and we can find a solution together."

Ceria's fingers stayed at the corners of Hemo's mouth, as if she could still feel the other person's body temperature.

"Do you remember those escapees?"

Seria said something that Zhou Jinru couldn't understand. He had indeed come into contact with the escapees, so he had no choice but to nod.

"I also talked to them and they respect the Diamond Queen very much."

Seria said calmly: "The nearest settlement here is 450 kilometers away. It is a small place with only tens of thousands of people, but it is an important passage connecting the original Letania and Syracuse. More importantly,

Its original site was an abandoned mobile city."

"I am listening."

The Diamond Queen nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"It's gone."

Missing?

"It disappeared?"

"Yes, it disappeared. It disappeared completely."

Seeing the confusion on Zhou Jinru's face, Seria turned around and took out a piece of white paper from the desk, and drew two dots in the middle of the paper.

"This is our place."

Ceria used a marker pen to mark one of the dots, and drew a triangle on the other dot.

"This is the underground city closest to us."

Stab.

Ceria drew her index finger between two points, splitting the entire paper into two. She held the half of the paper representing the underground city beneath her feet and placed it in front of Zhou Jinru.

"It's gone."

Zhou Jinru's mind went blank. Seria's metaphor was very vivid. Her meaning was just like the paper in her hand. The underground city 450 kilometers away was not destroyed or moved away, but simply disappeared!

"I couldn't even reach the underground city. The straight line was cut off. It was a force I couldn't understand. It tried to suck me into it. I used all my strength to barely escape."

This time Zhou Jinru understood it completely. No wonder he failed to see Seria the first few times he entered the underground city. She was not here at all. But when they met for the first time, he saw an exhausted Seria.

He thought she was going to fight, but he didn't expect to face such a desperate situation.

"What about the other directions?"

"No, nothing."

Ceria tore apart the papers in her hand one by one, and in the end only an isolated island remained.

"The fault zone has been in a static state, but I can confirm that it is impossible to enter it with human strength alone. It can kill everyone."

Having said this, Zhou Jinru had no choice. This was no longer a problem that could be solved by manpower.

"Those escapees..."

"They did come from that underground city, but their cognitions were biased to varying degrees. No one could tell the same story about the details of their escape."

Zhou Jinru said in disbelief: "I thought I was listening to a story."

"This is just the beginning, look at this."

Seria handed him a document and flipped through the first page. It recorded a text message sent from another underground city. It seemed that a caravan was on its way to arrive.

"Now they'll never come?"

Zhou Jinru looked complicated, put down the document, and rubbed his face vigorously.

"Yes, they disappeared into the fault zone, but the text messages can still be sent out, and the same messages are repeated every day, as if..."

"The cassette is on."

Zhou Jinru exhaled a breath, stopped his movements, and said hesitantly: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

Ceria showed a rare smile and turned to look at Hemo's portrait: "It's just one day earlier and one day later."

"I still want to struggle a little more."

"Go ahead and do it. I will let them cooperate with all your actions, but only in the underground city. The darkness on the surface is not something you can bear. You are not enough now."

Zhou Jinru raised his head and looked directly at the Diamond Queen: "Everyone is saying that I am a lighthouse, a lighthouse that guides the way forward."

"A lighthouse can only guide those travelers who are lost in the darkness. Do you feel that others rely on you? What really dispels the darkness is the sunlight that illuminates the world, the sun on which all things survive. You are just a lighthouse, not the sun."

Ceria paused and continued: "I have sensed the restlessness of the Originium veins. It will soon enter a violent state. I can't guarantee that I can suppress it this time. If you really want to do something, you might as well try it.

Stop those swarms of Originium Insects."

Watching Zhou Jinru leave, Ceria still stayed where she was, her eyes always fixed on Hemo's face.

But all of this is undoubtedly extremely difficult for Zhou Jinru. The information provided by Seria points to an ending. This underground city is trapped and dead in place.

It has become an isolated island. When the tide surges, all life on the island will be drowned in the tide.

He couldn't help but feel extremely anxious and lost his sense of normalcy. Even his talent could not calm down his emotions.

The pain in his heart comes from being unable to do anything. He has no power to save the lives that are about to pass away here.

At this time, Belinda had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw him coming out, she walked up quickly and noticed the man's gloomy expression. She had already guessed it, so she showed a pretty sweet smile in this urgent moment.

"No one asks you to do it, and no one will blame you."
