Harley was sure that it was not a psychological effect or an illusion.
The next day, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at her.
It's not that I've changed from enthusiasm to indifference, but I've become less perfunctory and my attitude is more natural and real.
When they faced her before, their faces seemed to be separated by a beautifully patterned but false veil. Now, they took off the veil.
It's as if a man and a woman no longer mind showing their true colors and true attitude towards each other from the moment they first met to three years after they got married.
Most of them were indifferent, followed by ridicule as they watched the show, and a small number of students and teachers showed her scrupulous sympathy.
Harley went to Teacher Raymond, who was in charge of daily chores, and tried to ask for the use of the telephone.
"Harry, please stay here for a few days, then put aside all the memories of the monastery and go to a rich and kind family to start a new life.
Just like Gotham, everyone knows it is bad, and all parents will tell their children, "Avoid Gotham when you grow up," but Gotham still exists, nothing has changed, and no one can change it.
But it has always been one of the most prosperous, dynamic, and outward-looking cities in the United States. It is cruel, but this is the reality." He declined politely.
(ps: Gotham here is New York.)
Harley was in a bad mood and didn't want to practice football. She wanted to find someone to talk to, but she couldn't find anyone.
Angela seems to be able to be a reserve girl, but she knows how to survive and always ignores Harry in public.
Barbara...she looks at her very coldly now.
Well, Barbara was never as close to her as she thought she was.
Like a blindfolded heifer, Harry scampered around the manor and unexpectedly came to the infirmary.
She sat beside Reina's bed and remained silent.
After a long time, Reina sighed and advised: "No matter what happens next, just endure it honestly.
When you are adopted, leave all your old memories here and continue your glorious future as a smile queen."
"You don't understand..." Harley shook her head slightly.
"You think I don't understand, but actually I understand everything." Reina said.
"You really don't understand," Harley still shook her head, "Now I'm beginning to have doubts about the future of 'smile queen'.
A long time ago, I planned my future - to be the best athlete in this world, gain fame and honor, and enjoy a wealthy life."
She especially emphasized "in this world", but Rena didn't hear it and only praised: "It's a very good ideal, money and honor, I love it too."
Harley looked up and looked out the window, her voice erratic, "But now I suddenly feel that I have such a talent, maybe I can do something more meaningful."
Reina's eyes flashed and she said strangely: "Do you want to be a hero? To wipe out all injustices?"
"No, my original intention has not changed - in this life, I want to live a free and happy life.
Although money and honor can bring me happiness, after all, I have a greater destiny than you ordinary people.
A bottle of green pills can make you happy, and a million dollars can make you ecstatic, but I, I am never satisfied with material wealth, I would rather————”
Reina gritted her teeth, her dark face was distorted, and the veins in her fists that tightly clenched the sheets were exposed.
Harley's eyes were shining as she looked out the window at the vast mountains and forests in the distance, "I want to live with clear thoughts, and I want to live without any grievances or pretentiousness."
Reina suddenly froze, and all her previous anger was gone.
She didn't understand what Harley was talking about, but at this moment, she discovered that girls could be so charming.
She had read this description in a book, "The woman in front of her is glowing", and she had scoffed at it before. Women are not light bulbs, so how can they shine?
Now, she wanted to say to Goldie and Miranda: Frank, it turns out that the description in the book is right, she is not only shining, she is simply dazzling.
"What do you want to do?" Reina swallowed, the orangutan's face turned red, and his tone was softer than ever.
"What can I do? Just like you said, just wait for adoption, and then treat everything I experience here as a dream and leave it out of my memory forever." Harley said calmly.
"Uh, that's good." Reina scratched the back of her head, always feeling something was wrong.
She spoke so passionately just now that it lit up like a light bulb, and now she suddenly became honest again... Although being honest is the best choice,... Reina was a little disappointed.
Harry's eyes flashed and he said with a natural expression: "In order to stop making mistakes, you have to tell me all the secrets of this orphanage.
You said it yourself, you have been here for nine years and know the monastery better than many monks."
Although Raina's current performance is enough for Harley to promote her to the position of "No. 1 Little Sister Reserve", she must be on guard against others.
Especially since she is an addict.
Gamblers and drug addicts are the least trustworthy.
Therefore, she did not tell her true purpose.
——She wants to overthrow this house of Satan, which is branded as God.
But not with fists.
She will wait patiently to be adopted, and then...it's not certain yet, but at least one "American Melting Pot" will come out, and Raina is the best supplier of raw materials.
"...There was once a child who tried to resist, but soon became ill and died.
There were also children who were obedient and submissive, and disappeared soon after.
I know why they disappeared.
Out of curiosity, I once secretly leaned down at the infirmary window and took a peek."
A flash of panic flashed in Reina's eyes, and the words that came out of her throat also had a slight trembling sound, "They took away Thiago's heart, and the mother-in-law was chattering beside her.
She said, 'Such things should be done as little as possible. St. John's Orphanage has a great reputation and cannot be tarnished in the slightest. How many healthy young people are there on the streets of Gotham and the Upstate Care Center for Troubled Children?'
The other man, in a suit with a straight suit, like the gold-rimmed glasses of the company president, explained with a smile - Sir Eberon has a special blood type, and he searched all over the world for two years before he found this one who could match him. "
Harley's face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
Reina continued: "I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several days, until the doctor prescribed me half a bottle of small green pills, and I got high.
Then I had an idea. Rich people definitely don’t want the hearts of poisonous insects. From that day on, I couldn’t live without mushrooms and little green pills.
Sometimes, with the guard Fake in the guard, they would also generously give me some white ones."
Harley was shocked again, "You also and the one-eyed dragon——"
Reina shook her head and said angrily: "The One-Eyed Dragon said I was ugly and stupid. He likes Barbara who is delicate and cute. Of course, you are so beautiful, he will definitely like you more."
"It's so rampant that the priests and teachers never take care of it?" Harry said in disbelief.
"What do you care? Even in ordinary high schools, there are quite a few students and teachers who get together, right? Besides, even the police don't care, so how can they care?" Reina said disapprovingly.
"No way, the police also know?!" Harry's outlook exploded.
Reina took a deep look at her and said, "Fortunately, your reputation is famous enough. Of course we have had many beautiful boys and girls here. Some of them will be tempted and taken to the city, only to come back the next day. Then the Sheriff
Together with the MP, he became one of the patrons of the monastery."
"Go to the city to accompany those people..." Harley's head was dizzy. Could it be that she had been living in another world for more than ten years?
But then I thought about it, there were beasts like Epstein in the real world in my previous life, so it shouldn't be surprising for him to appear in this even more sinful Gotham area.
"Three years ago, I had a friend named Linda who was taken away for the first time when she was 12 and a half years old. She said it was a masked ball, a luxurious hall that could only be imagined in dreams, attended by many rich and powerful people, and she even fainted
Dizzy and had sex with a British prince for the first time.
The real prince, the one you often see on TV.
I was still young at that time, and while I was scared, I was also vaguely looking forward to it. I was looking forward to the priest blindfolding me and taking me to the paradise with the handsome prince." Reina said in a complicated tone.
The corners of Harley's mouth twitched, and she couldn't tell who was the victim.
"It's useless to tell you this. You have a good reputation and are being watched by too many media. They won't use these methods against you."
Reyna wanted to end the topic.
"It's okay, I'll gain more knowledge. Please be more detailed, names of people, places, times..." Harley encouraged her to provide more material.
Reina had no choice but to say whatever she could think of and tell her everything she knew.
