Audrey stood by the window, watching the light yellow and iron black mist dissipate quickly, watching the heavy rain that does not belong to winter fall majesticly, and her mood calmed down a lot.

After an unknown amount of time, she and Susie finally waited for Earl Hall to come home.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Audrey asked with concern.

Earl Hall showed a gentle smile while handing over his coat and hat to the waiter:

"Solved, but the specific process is still unclear, my little princess, you really helped me a lot this time, you deserve a ton of medals!"

This is good, this is good... Thanks to Mister Fool's reminder, thanks to his favored one's adventurous investigation... Our Tarot Society once again prevented the evil god from coming, and saved the world again!Audrey's heart was filled with pride.

Earl Hall took the towel from the maid, wiped his face, and sighed:
"But this time it still caused relatively serious casualties. The smog in Backlund turned out to be so deadly... Although the statistical results have not yet come out, I estimate that more than [-] people died because of this in the East District, Dock District and Factory District , and the plague is still spreading, try not to go out recently."

More than [-] people?This is a number that Audrey can understand but cannot imagine. She can only see the scene of tens of thousands of people gathering together during the float parade on the National Day every year.

However, this did not prevent her from feeling heavy and depressed all of a sudden.

…………

Daisy stood outside the apartment, watching the doctors and nurses in white coats and large masks enter and carry out corpses one after another.

She already knew the result, her expression was numb, her eyes were empty, and she subconsciously approached the door.

At this time, the policeman in charge of the cordon stopped her:
"Don't go there, do you want to be infected with the plague?"

Daisy stopped there, watching the two corpses being carried out, watching her mother Liv hugging her sister Freya tightly, watching them being carried to the delivery wagon wrapped in black cloth, watching They were covered with white cloth and disappeared before his eyes.

The carriage drove slowly towards the other side of the street.

At this time, Daisy seemed to wake up from a dream. She turned around, ran fast, and chased the carriage.

The ground after the rain was extremely muddy. She fell down and got up several times, making her body covered in stains.However, she still failed to catch up with the carriage and watched it disappear around the corner.

Daisy slowed down, her body swayed slightly, and her expression was extremely dull.She held onto the trees beside the street and stared intently at the place where the carriage left.

Suddenly, her whole body softened, and a sob came out of her throat:

"Mother……

"Freya..."

The voice was thin, low, sharp and weak, lingering and endless.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people in the east area, in the dock area, and in the factory area were also screaming and crying.

…………

After being filled with a whole bottle of specially tuned spiritual stability potion by Dr. Black, Xiao En's pale face finally looked a little better.He looked at the two people present, one was sweating like himself, the other was already sitting on a chair and started rolling his eyes, he couldn't help laughing.

"I said long ago that you need to exercise more, don't rely on taking medicine to recover your strength! Look at my muscles, look at your slender arms, you almost collapsed yourself during this visit! Hahaha! You are a Sequence 8 Extraordinary, almost collapsed!"

After laughing for a while, he patted something in front of him strangely: "But Fei Nuo, why is there a street light in your clinic?"

The street lamp spoke: "Mr. Sean, I am Ademisor."

"Your spiritual overdraft is a bit serious, and it seems that you have hallucinations. But it's not in danger now, you just need to rest more these days." Dr. Black wiped his sweat. He felt that he had just run a marathon, and the heat You have to want to take off your coat and only wear a shirt in the temperature of less than ten degrees.

He looked around: "Where did Miss Maria go?"

As he asked, he walked upstairs to the clinic. The second floor was already full of patients. The beds and cabinets were all set aside, and the beds and chairs on the ground were full of weak people one after another.Ademisol followed and distributed oral solutions to the patients one by one.

Doctor Black sighed with emotion in a low voice:

"Originally, with my ability, it is impossible to make a potion that can fight against this toxin."

"Thanks to you, Ademisor! The way of destiny is well-deserved, and those bottles of potions you accidentally knocked down are actually effective after mixing! Without you, I can only watch everyone die in pain. You really are us Lucky Star!"

Ademisor scratched his head embarrassingly, but his mood was slightly depressed: "But many patients still..."

"That's not your fault (Dr. Black patted Ademisor on the shoulder). You've done your best. You came up with potions. Gavin's potions are all in perfect proportions. He probably will blow them all his life." , if you can blow it."

The little monster scratched his head again, thought for a while, and said rather complicatedly:

"I don't know what the Kingdom will characterize this vicious poisoning incident... Miss Maria said that she encountered a Sequence 4 witch, so this should be a terrorist attack by a cult organization? I hope that after this incident, the Kingdom will I can pay a little attention to the poor areas like the Eastern District and the Eastern District... Even if there is no subsidy and compensation, a little improvement in the environment is fine."

While speaking, Dr. Black approached the patients lying on the bed—these were patients with severe symptoms, and the poisonous fog had seriously damaged their respiratory system.Damage to body organs is fatal, and even the top doctors are helpless.

Unless they can afford a ventilator in the hospital.After checking the conditions of several patients, Dr. Black gradually became depressed.

However, as a doctor, he was used to seeing life and death, let alone in the East District.He told the bad news to several patients who were accompanied by their family members as gently and calmly as possible, and the patients and family members who had long been numb due to pain did not show excessive sadness. At the same time, he expressed his gratitude and embarrassment that he was short of money and wanted to leave the clinic immediately.

"Lie down a little longer, sir, ma'am."

Regarding this, Dr. Black could only sigh secretly: "The patient needs enough rest, you can lie down for another hour, and when you have strength, go to a nearby church to pray..."

Then, go home and die, or die near the church.

Generally, homeless people will choose the latter, because if they go early, they may be able to queue for the collective requiem of the church earlier.

"Admisol," he greeted, "go and boil a pot of water, make sure it boils, and give some hot water to the sick."

"Ok."

Ademisor ran downstairs, filled a pot of water under the tap, and put it on the stove to boil.

When the spout of the pot started to emit a little white steam, the door of the clinic was pushed open, and Maria walked in with her right arm bandaged and splinted.

Her complexion was very ugly, even worse than that of Dr. Black, but the moment she walked under the light, she still controlled her facial expression and made a relaxed smile as much as possible:

"Everyone has worked hard."

She turned to look at Sean: "Have you seen your wife and daughter?"

The navigator, who collapsed in large characters on the single sofa exclusive to Dr. Black, immediately nodded vigorously: "I met you before I came here! They are all fine, and Mira is still very energetic to ask me for candy. Here are a few sugar pills to go back... They are all staying in our temporary shelter, great, great! Miss Maria, you are the savior of my whole family!"

Maria smiled and nodded: "I also want to thank you for the unscathed children in the school."

"Next, we will help Dr. Black avoid being tracked by the Church of the Storm. The clinic will be closed for a while and changed back to a grocery store. I will go up and talk to him later."

Then, she found Ademisor who was watching over the kettle and said, "By the way, it seems that the matter is over. Would you like to buy a ticket to go back to Tingen now? There is still time."

Ademisor shook his head: "Alia has gone back, I will stay here this year, I think everyone..."

He looked around the room, looking at the exhausted people.

"I think everyone may still need some good luck." He said tactfully.

Maria couldn't help laughing out loud, and the collapsed living corpse Gavin uttered an inexplicable raving, and the atmosphere in the room became much lighter.

The water boiled, and the lid of the pot started to jump. Ademisor quickly took off the kettle and put it aside, and took out a disposable paper cup, ready to wait for it to cool before serving it.

Alia...Daisy...Maria sighed, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Gavin and Sean have already started chatting, teasing how long the big shots will keep the issue of the Eastern District on the front page of the newspaper this time, and how many debates that sound powerful but meaningless will be carried out by the congressmen. How many charitable funds are established, and how many can be allocated to the East District.Ademisor brought them each a hot cup of water to warm their hands.

Two big men were lying crookedly on the sofa chatting nonsense, making the narrow reception area on the first floor of the clinic very crowded.Maria was also about to sit down and rest for a while, Gavin quickly moved his legs away to make room.

"Gavin, how much money do we have left over from this year?" she asked.

The living corpse who is not in charge of accounting but often reimburses expenses scratches his head: "Shouldn't you ask Ms. Yalian about this?"

"..." Maria's lips twitched, "I gave her a vacation, and she died of illness at home with her little grandson."

"Uh……"

"Forget it, I really shouldn't ask you."

Maria sighed and looked at Ademisor again: "Mr. Machine, do you remember how much money we have left this month? "

Ademisor immediately reported a series of numbers: "There is 45 pounds six soli and two pence left in this month's funds, and it is estimated that there will be 3 and a half pounds left after all wages are paid." He hesitated, "But I don't know... These salaries..." How many people can get it.

Maria didn't answer the question: "Then how much money is left in total?"

Ademisor calculated in his mind for a few seconds: "The last time we cooperated with the Aurora Society, we got a lot of money, and we still have a lot of money, with [-] pounds remaining, but this is also our foundation for the next two months." funds."

"Okay, let's allocate [-] pounds first, and use it as a pension." Maria's face no longer showed much sadness, and it was as hard as a rock. "Take a break for two hours. After dinner, we will start counting... Casualties."

"Start counting casualties within the Foundation."

The three responded in silence, and Ademisor took the warm boiled water and went upstairs.

"Have you heard of any extraordinary items that can change people's minds?"

Maria thoughtfully said to Sean and Gavin: "Thinking about it now, I always find it a bit strange."

"Why didn't I recite the honorable name to summon the leader at the first time, but thought about saving people first, recited it twice first, and then ran into the witch?"

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

Upstairs, Dr. Black had just finished consoling the last patient, his mouth was dry, and he hurried downstairs to make a cup of tea.Ademisor handed over the medical records and medicines to him, and went upstairs to take care of the patients.

He poured hot water on people who were closer and awake, and got some weary responses.

There are many older patients without family members to accompany them. Ademisor always has to observe whether their chests still rise and fall in fear. They wipe their lips.

During the process, he occasionally went downstairs to fetch a clean disposable cup. He heard Dr. Black discussing with Maria whether to leave tonight or tomorrow. Sean, who had recovered a little strength, had already begun to tear down the sign outside the door and replace it with groceries. shop.

Before five o'clock, the patients will be emptied, and the beds on the second floor will be converted into shelves.

Dr. Black decided to go now.He is single, without a wife and children, so he can leave without any worries and come back in a few weeks.

"Your water."

"Thank you."

Ademisor gave the last cup of hot water to the family of the patient. This is a young girl. Ademisor has seen her before. She is a small tailor in the East District and often mends clothes near her residence. .

The girl held a paper bag in her arms, which looked heavy, and she didn't know what was inside.

She was talking softly to the middle-aged and elderly man lying on the bed. The middle-aged and elderly man smiled and kept saying thank you to the doctor to his daughter, but he would start coughing after saying a few words, which seemed to be the respiratory system. damaged.

"Doctor, I want to take my father back." The tailor girl stood up with the paper bag in her arms, and helped the middle-aged and elderly man's upper body up. Ademisor quickly put down the tray and helped her to help him get out of the hospital bed.

The man looked very thirsty, drank the water handed by his daughter in one gulp, and gasped for air as if he had been scalded.

He kept thanking him, which made Ademisor very embarrassed, and quickly let him sit and rest for a while, and took the tailor girl downstairs to tell Dr. Blake about leaving.

Downstairs, Dr. Blake, who had already started to pack his luggage, saw the tailor girl, and after listening to her, he was surprised and said, "Miss Taylor, don't you want your father to rest for a while? Are you going to leave now?"

The girl named Taylor shook her head, her eyes turned red before she could speak.

"Dad said he wanted to go home and eat my broth." Tyler said, rubbing his eyes. "He said he just bought a big loaf of ham and wanted to eat some of it quickly, or he'd never have it again... "

Seeing this, Dr. Black couldn't say anything more, so he shook his head and sighed a few times, and ordered:
"After you go back, you tell him to rest well, drink more water, and exercise less. Mr. Kohler said that he just made a small amount of money, which is enough for you and your father to live a warm and comfortable winter. After that...Taylor, you must be strong. "

Taylor wiped her tears again, borrowed some warm water to clean her face, and wiped away the tears. She waited until the red eye sockets returned to normal before she went upstairs and helped her father down.

That Mr. Kohler won't survive this winter... Admisor suddenly realized something.

He thought of all the recent events, the lives of mortals like nothing, the crisis that even extraordinary people cannot protect themselves, and the people who died in various postures... At this moment, he looked at the door and left. With the back of Taylor gradually going away, he suddenly had some inexplicable feelings about fate.

"Can we let her work at the foundation?" He hurriedly asked Miss Maria, "I heard that she is very good at making clothes."

Maria looked through the member list silently, and occasionally crossed out some with a pen, raised her head, her voice was cold and soft:

"Okay, I have an idea."

"And Daisy... If she doesn't get enough allowances to keep a little girl alive, I'll get her as a clerk."

"We need to replenish our manpower. We need ... a lot of people."

She sighed, continued to look through the list, and stopped talking.

After it was completely dark, Klein said goodbye to Azik.

After a messy confession, Klein felt that the haze that had always existed in his heart—he had to deceive others in order to hide himself—had dissipated a lot, and he felt much better.

Although this sudden desire to confide is not necessarily a good thing, Klein felt that when he woke up tomorrow morning, thinking of the current nonsense, he would definitely wrap himself in the quilt in embarrassment.But he still chooses to confide, because he has been suppressed and silent for too long, and those vivid pasts are gradually buried under the present dangerous and weird world, getting farther and farther away from him.

But Azik is a little more subtle. Azik is very interested in Klein's real home, "flying machines", "running iron boxes on four wheels", "barbecue" and various Various things are novel.

At the same time, he also seriously discussed with Klein the possible reasons why "Zhou Mingrui" came here - as a person with memory fragments of the Fourth Epoch, Azik denied Klein's "Maybe the Castle of Origin is the hidden Guessing in Antigonus' Notes, he believes that the spells in those few ancient texts (Chinese) have a connection with Origin Castle.

And Klein's newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger's venerable name just pointing to Origin Castle-this is a very thought-provoking thing. If the "mysterious master above the gray fog" is directional, then what is it pointing to? Klein, or the "Yellow and Black King in charge of good luck"?

The proposal of this idea made both Azik and Klein sweat profusely, and hastily ended the topic.

Coupled with the fact that "Klein" had come into contact with the diviner's path angel, Antigonus's notes, Azik very much suspected that all of this was the layout of a certain great existence!

"Klein" died, "Zhou Mingrui" descended, "Zhou Mingrui" contacted Origin Castle, and "Zhou Mingrui" became the current Klein... But Klein is now the patron of the Evernight Goddess. What role does it play in the process...

As soon as Azik thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

However, subjectively, he felt that they were all victims of the same disease, and Klein, a young man who didn't even have the intention of actively harming others, would not be one of the planners.

"Actually, I don't recommend that you pray to the Evernight Goddess to protect your brother and sister." Azik said before leaving.

"The favor of the gods is like a lottery ticket. They spend a few pennies and soli to give you a lottery ticket called favor, but they take hundreds or even thousands of pounds from you when claiming the prize. I don't know." The Goddess of the Night wants to get something from you, but it may not be a good way to put her family under the eyes of God."

"But this should be the only way."

"I don't know the attitude of the Goddess of the Night towards me. If I personally protect your brothers and sisters, it might be counterproductive."

Klein couldn't help sighing, "I know, Mr. Ards."

"Thank you, thank you for being willing to listen to me so much."

Ards put on his hat, took his cane, and warned for the last time: "Since you have made up your mind to leave Backlund, make all preparations before you leave. Make good use of 'Squirming Hunger'."

"I don't want to lose my student again, Klein."
