Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 66 Maria's Thoughts
176
"Please come back."

What a familiar rejection... Klein wiped his nose, no surprise, he also got such a response last time, but also found out that Maria is actually quite considerate of others.If she explained it well, she would agree. It would definitely be beneficial to have such a serious kidnapping incident in the East District exposed earlier.

Klein pondered, but the enthusiastic reporter Mike was a little impatient and asked, "Why?"

"Ma'am, don't you care about kidnapped people?"

"Of course I care." Maria said lightly, "Because I care, I don't want you journalists who don't understand anything to investigate and publish these things casually. relationship to do something inhumane."

Klein felt that he had found a breakthrough: "Ma'am, if you are willing to explain these things to us clearly, I believe that as long as we understand the stakes, we will not release news at will."

"No comment."

Maria was very tight-lipped and refused to disclose any inside information.She drank the coffee, packed the sandwich in the brown wrapping paper she brought, and then pushed the door out without looking back, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"This lady is too unreasonable." Watching her leave, Mike couldn't help complaining to Klein, "Why didn't you choose to ask for help when encountering difficulties, but suppressed the news? What is she worried about?"

Klein didn't have much dislike for her. Instead, he felt very fond of her because of the fact that she was helped after being identified.

Facing Mike's question, he smiled, and said without much concern: "Maybe this Miss Maria has her own solution, after all, she is the real party involved, the person involved, and this is the Eastern District, the complicated situation It’s really not something we two outsiders can easily intervene in.”

"I still don't understand it."

Mike shook his head, but he didn't go deep into this topic. The middle-aged and elderly man opposite him ate the last bite of black bread in silence, and said to them with a serious expression: "Two kind reporters, I believe you I said this for the consideration of people in the East District, but outside, those words about Miss Maria are absolutely not allowed to be said."

"Because Miss Maria is our patron saint. She is kind, enthusiastic and brave. People in the East End have more or less accepted her assistance. We believe that she can bring the girls back."

"Do you trust a... gang leader so much?" Mike organized his words, a little unbelievable, "Why didn't you ask the church for help? And I had never heard of Maria before coming to the East End."

"The workhouses opened by major churches are the gospel given by God, but Miss Maria is the bottom line we can always believe in."

The middle-aged man laughed a few times, and a very gentle smile appeared on his old face: "When I first met Miss Maria, she was not much older than my little Taylor. Workers, wives and sons... I also watched her grow up, Miss Maria said she would help us back then, and now she still keeps her word."

Mike's pen scratched the notebook a few times, but he didn't write down these words. He found it incredible that a person could surpass God's blessing and become the support in the hearts of the people in the Eastern District.

Klein accepted this well. He noticed an old woman in her sixties standing by the side of the street. Her dress was tattered but relatively neat. direction.Seeing that the middle-aged and elderly man stopped talking, he spoke in a timely manner and brought the topic back to the interview: "I think we can find some more people to interview. Do you know that old lady wandering by the side of the road?"

"This is also a poor man."

The former homeless man who carefully wrapped the leftover black bread and put it in his arms also spotted the old lady, and sighed a few words: "It is said that she had a good life before, her husband is a grain merchant, and she has a very energetic child." , Unfortunately, she went bankrupt and her husband and child died not long after. She was different from us, really, you could tell at a glance... Alas, she probably won't be able to last long, unless she can enter the workhouse every time .”

Listening, Mike's expression changed from calm to gloomy, and he slowly exhaled: "I want to find her for an interview, can you invite her for me? She can eat and drink whatever she wants here what."

The middle-aged man didn't think it was strange for this request, but just glanced at Klein and Mike respectively, as if to say, you really are colleagues.

Mike looked at the middle-aged and elderly man next to him and said, "You seem to be familiar with this place? I want to ask you to be our guide. How about 3 soules a day? Sorry, I forgot to ask your name."

The middle-aged man shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, it's too much. I'm at the pier. Most of the time, I only earn 1 soli a day."

"You can just call me old Kohler."

"Two soli, this is what you deserve." Mike made a final decision.

"Great angel of the abyss...His Royal Highness Edward Vaughan, I am too incompetent, and may not be able to sacrifice Capin's soul to you within the time you requested. I have already asked the Aurora Society for help. If the Aurora Society refuses, then I I will try to sneak into Capin's mansion alone tonight..."

This girl with a scar on her face is quite persistent.Probably because I was worried about angering myself, and hoped to finish the matter soon.

Edward held the teacup, intending to perfunctory, but considering that no matter how little it is, he still responded: "Okay."

At this time, from the perspective of prayer, Edward noticed a soul that he had marked additionally, but in the entire Backlund and even Ruen, there was only one special soul that he was focusing on at present, so he asked casually: "You Are there foreigners there?"

The girl with the scar on her face froze for a moment, and became more cautious: "Yes, everything in the East District is invisible to you."

"I don't know which kind of outsider you are talking about?"

"I'm not bored enough to look there often." Edward responded to the temptation lightly, and Maria felt a little relieved, "Imagine in your mind the new faces you see this year."

Maria hesitated for a second, it is not a good thing to be peeped by a demon.But she didn't have the right to refuse, so she gritted her teeth and endured, and began to recall the strangers she had seen in the past two days in her mind.Since she had just met Klein, the faces of Reporter Mike and Sherlock Moriarty quickly appeared in her mind.

With the signature gold-rimmed glasses and the big beard used for camouflage, Edward suspected that it was Klein who appeared there. When he saw the face of Detective Moriarty, he quickly recognized it.

What is Klein doing there? The detective's daily investigation, his entrustment? Is it a coincidence, or has something in the East District attracted attention?... By the way, there is also the inexplicably stolen "Black Emperor Card", if it is really Klein After getting the card of blasphemy, either he has a companion of mid-to-high sequence, or he has a sealed item of mid-to-high sequence. Kaping's matter involves mid-sequence, which happens to be a sufficient temptation...

He cut off the face and took it out, put it back into Maria's mind, and left a reminder: "You can ask him for help."

Who? Maria took a closer look and found that it was one of the two reporters she met, and she froze in place.

This...Admisol's prophecy said that my actions will have good results, so this is the turning point?
But is there anything special about this reporter? Could it be a mid-sequence Extraordinary? Why do I say I can ask him for help? Did he come to the Eastern District not just to investigate? Maria was full of question marks, and she wanted to ask two more questions. A sentence, but the abyss angel has already finished responding, leaving her alone in a small temporary room in a daze.

That's all, since the leader has given instructions, then I'll try again, anyway, at most, I will just be rejected.

She got up while thinking, packed up the ceremony site and materials, looked at the window for a while, and then returned to the place where the cafe was.

"Bansi, the city of disaster, a descendant of the Medici family."

"City of Calamity chose to pollute the location of the Medici family. Does it prove that the Red Angel was polluted before it fell?"

"The word pollution is really strange. If you can't completely control the source quality, it will naturally be eroded by the source quality, but this phenomenon proves that the city of disaster of source quality has self-awareness. Then Medici and the other two conquerors Together, being killed by Alista Tudor, is it a link to let him get rid of pollution, turn from light to darkness, and lurk down to wait for an opportunity?"

The king of decay looked through the materials and files in his hand, looking for the corresponding city on the topographic map of the Land Abandoned by God corresponding to the scriptures of the ancient sun god.He has been interested there for a long time, and now he finally has a chance.He analyzed and thought calmly, without any need for guidance from others, and spelled out the truth of Bansi Port in the dialogue with himself.

"Oh, there is a high probability that this is the case. This is an act that is good for him. The premise is to sacrifice his life and start over. Adam, I have met Medici. He complained about his death, but he blamed himself for underestimating the enemy. You You didn’t tell Him your plan, you didn’t communicate with him, you didn’t appease him, you just acted according to your own plan, it seems that you really only use Him as a tool.”

"Amon, I want a more detailed topographic map."

Amon reluctantly put down the broken Maxim machine gun in his hand, and took the blueprint and pen to the side to find a place to draw.

Adam let go for a while, and then realized that the king of decay was talking to him, so he dug out the standard answer of the ontology in his mind, and then replied with the standard compassionate expression and clear eyes of the ontology: "This is a necessary sacrifice. It is to counter the consideration of the end of the world. If you discuss this matter with him, he may not agree with his pride, even if it is my order."

"Should I laugh at your selfishness or His pride?"

The virtual personality Adam Quan pretended not to hear it. Anyway, this is the standard answer set by the ontology: "It's fine if he agrees, but if he disagrees, it will take more twists and turns and accidents... The pollution of the city of disasters will lead to disasters." , and now is not the time for Medici to return."

"The "Death Star" has already walked the earth, not to mention your planet is in jeopardy, at least it is dying. "

The God of Decay put down all kinds of documents and materials, and walked unhurriedly to Adam, who was restrained in layers.

His movements are graceful and his manner is majestic.When the avatar met his gaze, he subconsciously clenched his fists.

Outer God snorted: "I'm very happy, even if it's just a shell with a subsidiary personality and no soul, you have learned to fear. Fear is an important part of a creature's understanding of the world. A life that lacks awe and a creature that fears reality excessively, Can't move forward and grow, which one are you?"

"Forget it, don't be afraid of me, I don't plan to do anything yet."

"You collect information on the Land Abandoned by God." The virtual personality said in a deep voice, collecting information responsibly according to his own settings, even though he knew that there was no chance to send it back to the main body, "What do you want to do?"

The Declining King raised his head slightly, and his gaze quietly changed from looking straight to condescending.He inspected the virtual personality, and also inspected the only little bit of his own curiosity in the other party's heart.A light source from nowhere cast a shadow on his face, covering half of his face, but made the faint smile at the corner of his mouth even more frightening.That smile is cold but icy, like a knife that can cut through a person's neck.

"Land Abandoned by God. The first time I saw that place up close, I was shocked by your creativity and imagination."

"That's perfect, a night of never-ending days, a world of eternal despair, human beings slowly dying with hope for a savior. What remains on the earth is the imposition of sin and death, only unattainable fantasies .They can't even imagine the day, but they pray to you to save them."

"Since the City of Disaster can escape through mystical connection with Medici, then—if my source quality leaks from the seal, it will undoubtedly appear in the Land Abandoned by God."

"...You once said that because the source quality was captured and sealed by the earth, you will remain hostile to the earth." Adam said again, "Then after you find the source quality, will you choose to leave?"

"I did think so at the beginning, but now I just hope that the earth and human beings will be destroyed as soon as possible. I hate this place very much."

The King of Decline replied calmly: "Your half-human nature is delirious, I can sneak into the land abandoned by the gods myself, re-establish contact with the source quality, and then turn the land abandoned by the gods into my "barren country". "

"All creatures, from the very beginning of life, are accompanied by suffering...Living is nothing but an illusion, life is not joyful, and death is not sad. Only the process is meaningful. If pain cannot bring more beautiful destruction, then there is no need to use it to torture life .But you have made them suffer for two thousand and seventy-two years, and you have nothing to do but to continue the worthless despair and draw cakes. Are you still refusing me to give them some small salvation?"
