The Martial Unity

Chapter 1938

Chapter 1938 A Simple Question

Rui's laughter froze.

His stomach dropped as he recalled where they were standing.

In a room full of alien symbols, alien technology, and alien culture.

No sane person could possibly ignore that.

Kane certainly didn't.

The air grew heavy as his eyes bore into Rui's.

He could not hide his uncertainty.

"I have no idea how, but when I woke up, I found myself in the quarters I'd spent all my life living in after leaving my family." Kane's voice was mirthless. "I kinda figured your quarters to be the Quarrier Orphanage, since you've lived your entire life there, but this…"

He glanced around. "I'm not the most knowledgeable person, but I don't think there is any place on the Panama Continent that looks like this."

He turned to Rui. "Either this place made a mistake or…"

Rui closed his eyes. "It isn't."

At that moment, all the fascination and awe that he had been feeling for having beheld the Garden of Salvation dropped. All the relief for having survived what would have been absolute death disappeared. The curiosity that had been brimming in his mind was snuffed out in just a moment.

Kane stared at Rui with confusion and uncertainty.

It was understandable.

He had just learned that the home where Rui had spent the most time was not the Quarrier Orphanage.

To say that he was utterly shell-shocked to the very core of his being would be an understatement.

Kane had woken up earlier than Rui, mesmerized by the environment, yet when he found Rui's quarters beside his own, he was utterly paralyzed by what he saw inside. The idea that Rui had lived somewhere else even longer than then he had the Quarrier Orphanage.

It didn't even parse.

His heart palpitated when Rui denied it being a mistake.

In truth, he had already known that it probably wasn't. However, if Rui had just told him that it was all a mistake and he had no clue why his place looked so alien, then Kane would have taken him at his word, regardless of whether he was lying or not.
