Caroline was a little surprised. This effect was too good! Caroline had many questions in her mind.
There was soup, meat, and a dish on the table. Only Caroline and the old lady were eating.
Caroline first drank a mouthful of soup to moisten her dry throat before asking tentatively, “Are you the only one at home?”
She had just looked around the house and indeed did not see any traces of other people’s lives.
The old woman raised her eyes and glanced at her. “There were quite a few of them, but now they’re all dead. Now, only I, this old fart, am left here to continue guarding.”
Caroline could only say, “I’m sorry. Please accept my condolences.”
The old woman shook her head. ‘What’s there to be sad about? It was so many years ago. Now, I’m living alone. It’s quite good.”
“I thought your medical skills were so good that you could cure any illness,” Caroline said curiously.
The old woman rolled her eyes. “I’m using medical skills, not celestial skills. I can save people who are sick, but I can’t bring back the lives that were taken by the King of Hell.”
The old woman obviously didn’t want to talk about this problem anymore. She turned around and asked, “When do you plan to leave this place? I’m used to living alone. It’s an eyesore to have another person here.”
After treatment, although the wound was still slightly painful, Caroline could move freely.
Thinking of her teammates who were lost in the forest, she did not allow herself to stay here for too long. “I’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
The old woman replied with an “oh” and did not say anything else.
Caroline was not a talkative person, so the two of them finished the meal in silence.
Just as Caroline was about to stand up and help collect the bowls, there was a knock on the door.
Caroline’s hand that was picking up the chopsticks paused. She hid behind her back and took a step back, hiding in the shadow of the pillar. The old woman stood up and shouted, “Come in. The door is unlocked.” Soon, the sound of light and heavy footsteps came from outside.
“Sister, have you eaten?” A rough voice sounded, and two men entered the house.
The one walking in front was a short, fat, dark-skinned man in his forties or fifties. He greeted the old woman skillfully. Behind him was a tall man in his twenties or thirties.
Caroline immediately restrained her aura when she saw the other party. She had already found similar information from the other party. This was a professionally trained soldier.
The old woman exchanged a few words with the short and fat man before turning back to call Caroline. “We are close to the border, so there is a rule that if a stranger enters the village, we must report to the police station. So tell this officer your identity.”
Caroline entered Q Country as a normal tourist. Although it was a fake identity, it was forged by the government, so she was not afraid of being investigated.
Therefore, she walked out from the shadows and looked at the young man. Both of them paused for a moment.
Then, Caroline reported her name, the time she entered QCountry, and her passport number. The young man made a phone call after he noted it down. He only returned with his phone after about half an hour. It was obvious that he had obtained her entry information.
Caroline replied according to the lines she had set up earlier, “I just retired last month, so I came to Q Country for a vacation. I didn’t expect something to happen.”
“No wonder you were able to survive and climb out of hell.” The young man sighed and asked a few more conventional questions before finally putting away his phone.
“Miss Ania, we’ve already understood your current situation. Since you entered our country through irregular means and you said that you were in a hurry to leave, the immigration office will send someone to help you with the relevant procedures tomorrow. Then, they will escort you to QCountry. After all, your visa is from QCountry.”
Caroline’s original plan was to sneak out early tomorrow morning and re-enter the forest to find her teammates. However, this had delayed her time. However, Caroline had no choice but to agree in order not to expose herself.
Soon, the two men left.
Perhaps after confirming that Caroline was harmless, the old woman who had always treated her coldly suddenly became much kinder.
Not only did she help her make the bed, but she also took out a few bottles of Golden Creation medicine for her..
