Creating a Different World - Chapter 2750
[Chapter 2750 Night Talk]
Obviously, Julian’s current condition is not suitable for questioning, because no matter what you say, she just stares at the campfire blankly, and it is difficult to get a response.
Meili and Tatanil gave up after trying, and instead tried to comfort her and roast some dry food.
But Julian basically didn’t touch it, and had no appetite at all.
How could she eat after such a thing happened?
Meili and Tatanil tried to persuade her several times but to no avail,
so they simply gave up. After that, they successfully brought her into the tent. If she didn’t eat, at least she could get a good night’s sleep. Otherwise, how would she have the energy to travel tomorrow, and how would she pick up the students from the Frost Dragon City School of Magic?
The two were already accustomed to camping in the wild. After all, they followed Cohen around every day and completed countless tasks, and such situations were often encountered.
So they fell asleep and fell asleep quickly.
Although Julian was lying next to him, she kept her eyes open and couldn’t fall asleep.
Late at night, the two female adventurers beside her were sleeping soundly. Julian slowly sat up and left the tent without making any sound. She returned to the campfire that was about to go out and threw the remaining firewood next to it into it without saying a word to make it reignite.
After that, she sat by the fire, constantly adding firewood in a daze, and didn’t know what she was thinking.
Jia Zhengjin certainly saw this situation clearly. With
his experience, he knew Julian’s current situation very well.
Because she was hit so hard, it was difficult for her to accept it for a while. It was estimated that she was alone in a dead end, desperately taking all the responsibility on herself. If no one cared about her and let her continue to think about it like this, she might have extreme ideas. Or she might not be able to bear such pressure and do something irrational.
People who are obsessed with dead ends are very troublesome. You don’t know if she will suddenly go back to find the bodies of her teacher and classmates, or if she will go crazy and go back to seek revenge on the Osprey City Army.
No matter what, it’s a dead end!
Although it may not be true, it’s hard to say what people are like. Even
though Jia Zhengjin has traveled through so many worlds and seen thousands of years of wind and rain, he still feels that people’s hearts are unpredictable.
Julian needed someone to enlighten her and stop her from getting stuck in a dead end, so that she could return to normal.
He actually didn’t want to have too much contact with Julian. After all, Cohen’s influence in the soul projection had almost disappeared, but it was still possible that she would be drawn out by someone familiar to him, especially since Julian was someone Cohen had always liked.
Although Jia Zhengjin was able to suppress the feelings copied by the soul projection with his strength, he naturally hoped to avoid such troubles if he could avoid them.
He had originally hoped for Meili and Tatanil, but it seemed that the enlightenment of strangers was useless to Julian, because they had no weight in Julian’s heart!
The original plan was to separate after taking her to Frost Dragon City and try to have as little contact as possible. Now it seems that there is still no way!
Thinking of this, he shook his head and got up, quietly walking out of the tent.
Julian heard the movement behind her, turned his head a little listlessly, and saw Jia Zhengjin walking out of the tent, his gray eyes slightly colored.
Jia Zhengjin came to the campfire and sat down next to her.
In another tent, when Mary turned over, she found that there was no one around her. When she opened her eyes, she did not see Julian. The fire outside was very bright, so she knew that she would not be able to speak.
She turned around and woke Tatanil up, and the two prepared to see what was going on.
But before they got up, they saw another shadow walking over the surface of the tent illuminated by the fire.
The two looked at each other and immediately quieted down. They turned their heads to the entrance of the tent, lay on the sleeping bags and tried not to make any noise, trying to listen to the movement outside.
The two were very concerned about the childhood sweetheart relationship between Captain Cohen and Julian, but the situation Cohen showed before made them feel confused. Maybe they could hear something at this time.
Jia Zhengjin was of course aware of the movements of Mary and Tatanil in the tent, but he ignored it and pretended not to know.
After sitting down, he looked at Julian who was not in the right state: “Are you still thinking about your teachers and classmates?”
“Yeah!” Julian looked at Jia Zhengjin, “I thought you wouldn’t take the initiative to talk to me. Cohen, you have changed a lot. I feel that you are not the person I know now!”
Jia Zhengjin said: “I am indeed not the Cohen you know. Even if you regard me as another person who has nothing to do with the previous Cohen, it is completely fine!”
He was telling the truth. The real Cohen had died long ago.
Julian heard this and looked at him carefully for a while: “It seems that from the day you decided to challenge more difficult tasks, you have experienced a lot of things that I don’t understand!”
“Yes!” Jia Zhengjin nodded and said, “Just like me, I can’t understand your current mood.”
Hearing this, Julian’s face was even more sad: “Cohen, I never thought that this would happen. I thought I could study happily with my classmates every day in the magic academy, and then graduate with excellent grades. Then I will have a bright future and become a respected magician. I thought I could spend my life happily.”
“Who wouldn’t want to?” Jia Zhengjin said, “But this is how the world is. At a certain point, you will realize the cruelty of reality! Julian, you are a well-protected flower, growing in a greenhouse, so you feel that these winds and rains are far away from you, and you never even care about them. But living in this world, you will inevitably face them, it’s just a matter of time! This world is far more cruel than you think!”
Hearing this, Julian looked at Jia Zhengjin blankly: “So, it’s because you have seen these cruelties and because you have been exposed to terrible wind and rain earlier than me that you have become Cohen, who is unfamiliar to me?”
“Who knows?” Jia Zhengjin threw a piece of wood into the campfire.
“Cohen, what have you been through?” Julian asked softly, “How did you go from the Cohen I knew to the leader of the Holy Spirit Adventure Group? I can’t imagine that the Cohen I was most familiar with has become such a big shot! Moreover, you are also like other big shots, making people a little daunted. Have you ever experienced death?”
“Death?” Jia Zhengjin’s mouth corners slightly raised, “I am afraid that no one can be more familiar with it!”
There is no deception in these words. Because of the immortality totem, he wants to die but can’t. The number of times he has been resurrected from the dead for thousands of years is unimaginable. He has personally experienced almost any way of death you can think of, including jumping into the interior of a star and swimming in lava.
“Facing death is really terrible,” Julian said softly, “and watching people around you die, or even killing others with your own hands, makes me even more afraid! This is not the future I imagined.”
“No one wants such a future,” Jia Zhengjin sighed, “but fate always forces you to accept it.”
