College, 24th floor teaching building. Vice President Agnes just heard the report: "You said Bobby is missing?"
Abigail Dahn said: "She had classes yesterday and today, but she didn't come to teach. I asked the teachers and students in the college not to see her for four days. She didn't ask for leave in the college.
I sent someone to check the records of her residence, but there was no one at home."
"What's going on in the college lately? Things always happen one after another." Agnes said, "I know what you reported. Go and call Sufina."
Twenty minutes later, Sofina arrived belatedly. Agnes told her what Dan had reported.
"Bobby!" Sofina paid special attention to the list of people who had interacted with Blanche that her subordinates had given her, and this teacher's name happened to be in it.
Agnes said: "I don't know if her disappearance is related to the previous incident, but I feel that her disappearance is very unusual. I still leave this matter to you. I want a satisfactory answer."
"yes."
After leaving the vice-president's office, Sufina pondered alone. There are always some strange things happening recently, some related to Bing Zhixie, some related to the Gale Thief Group, and some related to Blanche. These thousands of people
Thousands of things were mixed together, giving her a headache. However, this teacher Bobby was someone who had interacted with Blanche. Although the record book did not indicate whether they had talked with each other, it recorded that they had
Appeared in the same place multiple times at different times. As a colleague, Sufina knew that intelligence personnel exchanging information often did not appear at the same time.
Now there are many unanswered questions about Blanche, and she is considering whether to arrest the person at this time. But she also wonders, if Bobby is really someone related to Blanche, why did he suddenly disappear at this time?
Did it happen? Was there an accident, or did she leave because she had achieved her goal?
There were too many things going on, and Sofina felt that she was not enough on her own.
…
At night, an entrance to the sewer was opened. Bing Zhixie stood at the entrance and listened in for a while. Not long ago, Sufina had just gone down here with a crystal lamp and a map. He staggered a distance.
, also went down.
The sewer was dark, damp, and full of pungent smell. Bing Zhixie stepped on the wind and walked forward without touching the ground. A light in the distance indicated Sufina's position. As he moved forward carefully,
Observing the details in the sewer, the pale golden brick walls are simple, thick and cold. The arrangement of each brick and stone has a pattern. The exits that lead water from the channel are made of antique reliefs.
It is completed, and the carvings are the patterns of four monsters. Being able to make the sewers so grand and elegant, this ancient building has a very cultural atmosphere.
Suddenly the light in front disappeared. Bing Zhixie stopped and listened carefully to the movements in front, but he could hear nothing except the sound of slowly flowing water. He thought for a moment and leaned forward. When he reached the end, behind him
Suddenly the lights turned on and something fell down. When he turned around, he saw Sofina standing in front of him.
"Su...Sofina...teacher..." He was caught following him, and he suddenly felt guilty.
Sufina smiled slightly: "I already knew you were following me."
"known long time ago?"
"Yeah. When I was in the library."
Bing Zhixie was a little discouraged. He had always thought that his tracking was successful. He couldn't help but ask: "How did you find me?"
"It's been so long, I won't hide it anymore." Sufina reached out and took out the amber pendant from his neck: "I have worn this amber pendant since I was a child. As my body gradually transformed into elements,
It has been continuously absorbing the life energy that overflowed during my elementalization process, so as long as it appears within a certain range near me, I can sense its existence."
Bing Zhixie was startled, as if she had been stung by a scorpion, and grabbed the pendant around her neck.
"Do you want to tear it off?" Sophie looked at him.
Bing Zhixie thought of his previous actions: "So, you have discovered me a long time ago?"
"The time I fought you in the Big Blue Crystal Tower, the time you quietly followed the pet shop owner Quincy to Blanche's house, and the time you rescued 'Carol'." Sophie Na said calmly.
Said it out.
Bing Zhixie felt angry that she had been deceived, and gritted her teeth: "It turns out that I have been under your surveillance for a long time."
"No. I am paying attention to you, but I am not monitoring you."
"Hmph~!" Bing Zhixie sneered, not believing it.
Sufina sighed softly: "Since I told the truth, there is no need to lie to you. Besides, the person who has been deceiving seems to be right in front of me."
Bing Zhixie looked to the side with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at her. After a while, she said again: "Why are you telling me the truth now?"
"Because... I don't want to deceive the people I care about."
Bing Zhixie was startled and looked at her in confusion, looking into her eyes.
"Have you never felt my concern?" Sophie asked quietly and gently.
For a long time, Bing Zhixie asked in confusion: "Why? Why do you care about me?"
Sufina could not imagine that this smart young man, who had been silent for a long time, was puzzled by this. She was a little sad: "It seems that you didn't listen at all to what I said last time."
Bing Zhixie was silent again.
Sufina sat down against the wall and suddenly smiled softly, a little amused: "Maybe it's the intimacy of having the same disease when I was young. When I saw you for the first time, I started thinking about you.
I see the loneliness in your heart through my eyes. Do you know what I hoped for most during such a painful period when I was a child?"
"What?"
"Family."
Bing Zhixie was shocked and looked at her.
Sufina smiled bitterly and said: "Not a relative like grandpa, but a closer relative. A younger brother. I hope to have a younger brother, not an older brother or a younger sister. At that time, I had imagined many times that I had such a
How good my brother would be, bringing me joy and taking away the depression in my heart. Unfortunately, he didn't. So I envy and hope that this feeling has been brought up to now. It's funny to say that since you entered the college, I have been in my heart
I just think of you as my brother who never existed."
"Is that why?"
"Isn't this... enough?" Sophie looked at him affectionately.
Bing Zhixie did not dare to face such eyes and turned her face to one side.
"You are afraid." This was not a question. Sofina said: "You are afraid of facing feelings."
"I don't."
"Then why don't you dare to look at me?"
"I..." Bing Zhixie, who was trapped in conflict and pain, suddenly became alert.
