"Are you here to wait for me?" So the next moment, she foolishly spoke to a cat, as if she believed it could answer her. The black cat, of course, did not answer her but narrowed those extremely beautiful cat eyes, it lowered its head, placed the pocket watch on the ground, raised its right front paw, licked its paw, and then washed its face.
Only when she spoke did she realize that she was subconsciously speaking Vridhirc, the main language of the current kingdom as if she was influenced by the instincts left in her original body. She tried to open her mouth and repeat the words in English quietly, confirming that she could still speak English, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Esme Crane took the bread and sausage and scanned the interior of the worker's workshop, which was dark with only a little light and the smell of iron filings to her nose. The hearth, as she thought, still had embers left in it, giving off warmth.
The cat led Esme Crane to the backyard of a single stone house, Esme Crane froze for a moment before she realized that this was her "home". She couldn't help but wonder, this cat knows her home is here, is it psychic?
Esme Crane found that it was a small female cat, well-behaved and lovely, who not only saved her but also followed her all the time and guided her, which made the lonely Esme Crane seem to find the only companion in this strange world.
She leaned against the hearth, covered with the dirty leather apron Calvin wore when he beat iron, and closed her eyes, intending to take a nap, she did not dare to sleep, in a few hours it will be dawn, once the dawn, she had to go, can not let people find her presence. The cat jumped on top of her knees and curled up nicely to rest with her.
Esme Crane's face felt cold, and she realized she was in tears. She wiped away the tears again in silence, telling herself repeatedly that it was useless to cry, that it was not her style to be weak and impotent. She had always been a tough student at school, convinced that reason could overcome anything.
Looking up, she saw a long string of salami hanging from the window frame, and she couldn't help but rejoice as she struggled to get on her tiptoes to rip off two sections, and then she re-covered the window. She circled the yard and followed her memory to the worker's workshop by her house, and threw herself through the unlocked window, and just as she was about to close it, the cat jumped in with her through the window.
The little piece of bread left over was her brother. The boy had been changing his teeth in recent years and could not bite the hardest part of the bread, so the rest of the bread would become his father's breakfast the next day.
"Shall I call you Cox?" She rubbed the cat's smooth fur and soft body, murmuring to the cat in English. At this time, the hoarse brokenness of her voice finally faded, the voice line is clear and cold like an ice spring, but it is very crisp and moving. The cat trembled in one ear as if it had agreed to her.
With this thought, her heart gradually calmed down. She took out the hot food from the hearth, broke a small piece of bread, and fed it to the cat, who sniffed it gently but looked disgusted and didn't bother to eat it.
Esme Crane looked around to make sure there were no dogs in the yard, then quietly opened the fence gate in the backyard and went in. People in the village do not have much sense of security, thieves will not come here to steal things, because here really poor to steal anything.
From memory, she went around to the kitchen window of the house. The house was silent, but there was still some light coming from the living room, the family was still awake, and Esme Crane could hear a slight whimpering and sobbing. On the night of the sudden death of a loved one, it must have been a difficult night for them to sleep.
Tomorrow morning, the family will have to rush to the cemetery to bury Esme Crane. but when they arrive at the cemetery in the morning, they will see an empty coffin, which is a huge blow to them
Esme Crane with the cat through the village of oak, she looked at the buildings here, sparse irregular distribution of stone houses of about ten or so, mostly one-story or two-story cottages. Each building has a fenced yard, and a little life style, the front yard of the house is generally planted with flowers and plants. But the people here do not seem to be rich, the village living environment is not very good, always can smell all kinds of stench.
Mom and Dad, my teachers and friends, can I go back? I want to go back. Why did God play such a bad joke on me? She gazed at the upside-down city in the sky and couldn't take wing and fly up to the sky the next moment.
Esme Crane subconsciously followed the cat, as if the cat was leading the way ahead, trotting forward for a while, it would stop and turn its head to wait for the slow-moving Esme Crane.
According to the curfew system in the suburbs of Zocta, except for people with special professions, such as sheriffs, night patrols, and those who applied to the police for a night out permit, no one else is allowed to go out at night, otherwise, they will be brought back to the police station for punishment, even if they have not committed any crime.
Maybe would leave a corpse, maybe even the body disappeared, and the whole thing evaporated like a human being. They have worked hard for many years to raise a child, passed the judicial and civil service exams, and looking to become a glorious people's prosecutor, but at this juncture there was such a change of heart, thinking about it, Esme Crane's heart seemed to be strangled by a knife like pain, so much so that her nose was sore and her eyes were red.
Finally, she just picked up the pocket watch and pressed it open, seeing the familiar 12-frame ring dial, with the second hand ticking and the hour and minute hands pointing to 10 and 17 respectively, the time now being 9:21 p.m.
She sat by the hearth, staring at the embers, the cat crouched at her feet quietly with her. A memory of her father, Calvin, the worker, used to leave the fire in the hearth after a day's work, saying it was easier to start work as soon as possible the next morning.
Although the Esme Crane now has no friendship with the family after the soul, but still very hard to feel. Maybe it's the instinct of this body, maybe it's her own emotions at work. She couldn't help but think of her parents, who suddenly crossed over in the library, not knowing what the consequences would be.
Hunger interrupted her sad repression, she wiped away the tears and took a deep breath. Crying could not solve the problem, only reason and wisdom could save her. No matter what, the goal at the moment is to survive, first find food to fill the stomach and sleep well. Tomorrow she will think of a way, there will be a way, and she must survive in this world.
She gritted her teeth and quietly opened the kitchen window which was not locked, she looked carefully at the stove below the windowsill and saw a small half piece of leftover bread sitting there, about the size of an adult male head, she quietly took it away, black in appearance, held in her hand like a hard, cold stone.
This is the first unprecedented challenge in her life, Voltaire said: without great difficulties, there will be no great cause.
According to the time point of this world, the aircraft should have appeared, she is not without a chance to go back.
In any case, she could not survive as a "dead person" in a society of acquaintances who knew each other for miles and miles, and she had to find a way to enter the main city of Zocta, the capital of the Mhadrrith Empire, a metropolis of three million people.
This bland reaction was as if it was mocking Esme Crane's foolishness. Esme Crane, who was a cat person in her previous life, had some difficulty in suppressing the love she felt in her heart and wanted to pet the black cat, but she had a deeper fear of the black cat and was afraid to touch it.
She gently gathered the black cat and closed her eyes, calculating that once the day dawned, she crossed Emerson and went to Emerson town center on the west coast of Emerson. According to the original owner's memory, she had a very close friend from school, Ann, who lived in Emerson town center and was the cook of the town's church, the Church of the Brethren. This friend of hers was an avid occultist and might be able to accept the fact that she had come back from the dead, and she had to go to her and ask for her help.
She was hungry and thought the black cat could find food on its own, so she stopped caring about the black cat and ate all the bread and sausage in small bites with a cup of hot water, not knowing if her sense of taste had not fully recovered, she only felt tasteless. After eating, her body finally warmed up.
She took the large iron jar that her father Calvin had left in the workshop for drinking water, scooped a large cup of water from a side iron bucket and shoved it directly into the embers of the hearth, and heated the salami and bread on top of the jar to soften them.
Then let's set a small goal to find the aviator first.
Damn, how did she cross into a world so similar to England to, well at least wear to France ah! She couldn't help but inwardly spit out.
Only by drowning in the sea of people could she gain room for survival.
The original owner, Esme Crane, was found dead under a factory chimney this morning, and the sheriff initially determined that she committed suicide in the early hours of this morning. Esme Crane was buried in the late afternoon, and her parents and brother returned home, leaving the sheriff and the grave man to guard Esme Crane's body overnight.
The night was uneventful. It was just after dawn when Esme Crane was already walking above the foggy country roads. She used a rag as a headscarf to wrap her face so as not to be recognized. Her footsteps are hurried and she looks around, describing herself as furtive. The incandescent day, on the other hand, is the outdoor prayer day in this world, probably because most people are religious. On this day, most people will gather in the central church or square of their residential area for a long daytime mass. England in the mid-nineteenth century because of the first industrial revolution, the city began to fill the air with industrial soot, coupled with the temperate maritime climate brought about by the perennial rain and fog, its capital city of London gradually has the name of the fog capital. It wasn't long before she reached Emerson, a river that runs south of Zocta, a tributary of the Dorrans River that runs through the entire city of Zocta, and the town of Emerson is named
Anna is a chef at the church's Buzan Church and earns a good salary of 350 CUC per week. Her husband is an employee of the railway company, driving the intercity steam train between Emerson Town and Zocta South Station every day, earning 450 copper Canadian miles a week. The Church is divided into five churches, each of which worships one elemental god - the gods of the earth, the sky, the sea, and the fire. ", "God of Fire", and "God of Spirit". This is exactly in line with the theory of the elements that Esme Crane knew sprouted from ancient Greece, namely the four elements of "earth, air, water, and fire" and the fifth element derived from Aristotle, which is also the most common pattern of the Western method pentagram represents the meaning of the five elements. The door was opened and a round-faced, wide-eyed brunette, much shorter than her, appeared before Esme Crane's eyes, still wearing her pajamas and seemingly recently risen. This stems from a bizarre experience in her chi
After about an hour and a half, Esme Crane, who had taken a hot shower in Ann's apartment and changed into a neat and clean dress, finally sat down at the table to eat her breakfast. Hungry, she resisted the urge to gobble up all the beans, mashed potatoes, bacon, and fried eggs on her plate in small bites, and finally poured a large cup of fragrant milk tea into her belly, feeling her soul out of her body and finally having a sense of the reality of being alive. She searched her memory as she ate, remembering that Esme Crane didn't have many suitors, instead she had been bullied growing up and didn't seem to have many friends except Ann. Everyone else disliked her and insulted her as a freak. The woman's looks were beautiful, at least from Esme Crane's own aesthetic point of view extremely good, mixed-race face always outstanding. Her skin is pale but delicate and smooth without blemishes, her eyebrows have the picturesque quality of oriental beauty, a pair of beautiful almond eyes
Esme Crane, confused, asked, "What is the Favourite? What hunter?" And Esme Crane made a disguise, hours before, she was in Ann and Isaac's apartment room in Emerson town center. Ann told her that since she was going to Zocta to make a living and work in a job like delivering newspapers, she had better look sharp. Esme Crane couldn't help but feel the money pouch in her inside jacket pocket, and felt it bulging inside, so she felt a sense of security. Esme Crane smiled and replied with the same pull, "Thanks for your advice, I'll think about it." "I speak badly, but I still want to advise you to go to Zocta and live honestly, do not think about going to any hunter group. If there really is a Hunter Order in this world, so shiny, why does the Church not want to let people know about their existence? There must be a reason for keeping them hidden, and the existence of hunters must not be a good thing." "You shut up Isaac, you fool, you don't even know that you are being deceived by
Isaac seemed to have said everything he wanted to say at once and relapsed into silence. Esme Crane didn't try to talk to Isaac either, she could feel Isaac's kindness and equally his detachment. Zocta South Station is the largest train station in Zocta, and the huge dome design gives Esme Crane a strong sense of the King's Cross station. After the train entered the station, Isaac instructed Esme Crane to get off the train and wait for him at the bench by the conductor's lounge, as he still needed to finish his work before he could leave. Isaac joked with the two while pushing open the saloon door and walked into the bar. esme Crane watched coldly the whole time without saying a word and then also stepped into the bar. The smell of bad tobacco, sweat, body odor, and alcohol made Esme Crane's brain hurt. She frowned and followed Isaac, all the way to the edge of the bar. Suddenly there was a slap on the back, "Ah!" Esme Crane cried out in shock, and her whole body jumped up. "Heh!" E
She thought she couldn't remember so many roads at once, so she just searched for the location of her current hotel and then for the address of the magazine barn given to her by Old Owen, marked them out, and then memorized the way to the magazine barn through the map in advance, in preparation for tomorrow. "Haha, that's true, but Brielle Campbell's job is not a job that many people want to do, and they have to run up almost a hundred flights of stairs every day, and they're exhausted and don't make much money. What... You have someone to introduce?" Old Owen said. "Hey! Owen, remember me?" Isaac greeted familiarly. "Oh, remember, of course I remember, Isaac, the good lad who even bought me a drink last time." The old man chuckled, "I've been Brielle Campbell for so long, my memory is the only thing I have going for me." Esme Crane was not fussy, and after dropping off her luggage and looking at her room, she planned to go downstairs to prepay for her stay, but to her surprise, Is
Esme Crane could not help but feel good as she ran out of the distance with a strong breeze in her face. Esme Crane had been an athlete before, but she had never run with her legs as fast as she did today. When she finally stopped, a strong feeling of hunger grabbed her nerves. By the time she got back to her hotel room, Esme Crane had already eaten her fill at a small restaurant next door to the hotel, which was closed at night because of the curfew in Zocta. In addition to pen, ink and paper, she also bought some miscellaneous but very practical gadgets, compared to pen, ink and paper is really very cheap. For example, a military kettle-style backpack iron pot, the capacity is very considerable, on the back of the body can always be hydrated. A small dagger for cutting things and a pair of scissors will certainly come in handy. Without thinking about it, every cell in Esme Crane's body leapt to its feet, desperate to test out the new powers she had acquired, so she headed straight
A huge clock hung above the front door of the magazine barn, the time read 3:17 and Esme Crane was just in time. She stood still for a moment to catch her breath and surveyed the scene around her by the faint illumination of the sky. Simon was taken aback, for there were few women in this business, and he could not help looking Esme Crane up and down, and then said to Owen, very ungraciously, "Man, I advise you to find a more reliable candidate; how can a woman do our business? Not physically fit to begin with." She couldn't help but wonder if Brielle Campbell's were using this ride to deliver the newspaper? Esme Crane washed up quickly, put her hair up, put on the not-quite-fitting men's clothes again, and walked quickly downstairs. She was hungry again by now, and her eyes were glazed over. All that food she had eaten last night had disappeared to who knows where, and when she got up this morning she noticed that her body seemed less skin and bones, and seemed to have gained some
