Chapter 6 Copy: Pelican Bar, Hub of Sin
Early the next morning, Inspector Haina went to Moriarty Manor with the authorization from the Inspectorate.
This time she obviously learned from yesterday's lesson.
After a simple breakfast, Haina rushed over immediately after a long journey. It was not even seven o'clock when she arrived.
At this point, Aiwass hadn't gotten up yet, so the housekeeper Oswald could only place her in the living room first, and let the maids serve her with some tea and snacks.
It wasn't until Aiwass got up, washed up, and finished breakfast that Oswald told him that Inspector Haina was already waiting in the living room.
"...You came so early this time, senior. Isn't the appointed time at nine-thirty?"
Aiwass was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed into the living room by Oswald.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Haina who was "formally dressed".
The clothes she wore when she came yesterday were completely different. At this moment, Haina was wearing a split two-piece leather armor.
However, this leather armor is closer to a uniform than a protective gear. It does not completely cover all the skin. Although even this can play a somewhat protective role, I am afraid that its more significance lies in its ritualistic nature.
"Armor" is sacred in the Kingdom of Avalon.
In the Kingdom of Avalon, the main power class is divided into "knights" and "civil servants" in the civil service system. In addition to the hereditary knight families who can enter the Senate, the former also includes supervisors, arbitrators, and the entire cavalry system. Only "
"Knights" can wear armor, and members must also wear armor when entering the Senate. Entering the Senate wearing regular clothes is regarded as a provocation to the authority of the Round Table Hall.
Except for knights, anyone who wears or even holds armor can be directly sentenced to severe punishment up to the death penalty. Even if they are a knight family, the children of the head of the family cannot wear their parents' armor without the Queen's authorization.
Because of this, as long as you see a person wearing armor on the street, you can directly identify the other person's identity. You can even identify the other person's level from the specifications of the armor - the more inconvenient it is to move, the stronger the material, and the more beautiful the appearance.
Majesty, the closer the color is to silver-white, the higher its status.
This does not come from experience in the game... After all, the Kingdom of Avalon was destroyed too early. The knowledge in this area comes entirely from little Aiwass's memory and common sense.
Aiwass could tell that Haina's leather armor was brand new. There was even a slight smell of oil.
Because of this, Haina didn't even dare to sit on the sofa at Moriarty's house. She carefully sat on the corner of the sofa, sitting upright. She was afraid that if she accidentally soiled it, she would be disgusted by others.
"It's better to be early than late."
When Haina saw Aiwass coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stood up from the soft sofa: "It's okay, Mr. Aiwass. I can act at your convenience - that's all
The request given in."
Aiwass raised his eyebrows.
Last time I was two and a half hours late, this time I was three hours early...
"I feel like you are a bit too extreme."
"What?" Haina was a little confused.
"Nothing," Aiwass smiled slightly, "The leather armor looks good."
"This was specially approved for me by the institute!"
Hearing this, Haina suddenly became energetic: "Although my equipment and gryphon have been approved, they are still on the way to be deployed. The director said that it may take another two months to get them.
"But, because I reported your incident, the director feels that if you get into trouble, the Supervisory Bureau will get into trouble, but if he doesn't agree, he will get into trouble. And if he sends many people to follow you, you may be unhappy;
But if I let something happen to you, the problem would be even bigger. So the director made an exception and gave me the armor and the sword first!"
Saying that, Haina happily patted the sword she put on the table.
Aiwass followed her gaze and looked over.
It was a leaf-shaped dagger with a scabbard shining with silver. It was about twenty-four inches long, which is sixty centimeters. The scabbard was etched with beautiful thorn patterns, and there were red, green, and blue colors.
Broken glass the size of sand grains is embedded in the middle of the thorns, and it looks dazzling and bright under the reflection of the sunlight outside the window. At first glance, you can tell that it is a very typical elf style - whether it is easy to use or not, at least it looks good.
Because the appearance of this sword is too beautiful, it is really different from the simple leather armor style of Haina. On the contrary, it blends very naturally with the elf-style ornaments in Aiwass's home.
At first, Aiwass thought it was his own art ornament.
It turns out you brought it. Then it's okay.
"I will definitely protect you!"
Haina said with great determination.
Her calloused fingers carefully brushed the thorn pattern on the scabbard. After taking the sword in her hand, the aura of confidence in her body suddenly aroused.
Different from the timid, clumsy and cautious person last night, his whole temperament has become different. Even his eyes have become brighter.
For example, it's like the difference between a horror game player without a gun and a horror game player with a gun.
Aiwass looked deeply into Haina's eyes and fell into silence and thinking.
He could notice that she obviously didn't sleep well last night - she was agitated, so to speak.
Of course, there is also the reason for being exposed to her sword in advance. But the more exciting point is that she thinks she can finally "show off her skills".
After yesterday's test, today's contact and investigation into her background, Aiwass can now roughly explore and sort out Haina's thinking circuit.
She is obviously not very smart. Once things become complicated, she will be too lazy to think logically. At the same time, she should be born in a poor family, but she has an extraordinary talent that she can be proud of in her own field, such as swordsmanship. Therefore, she
Her personality will gradually tend to become stubborn. She will be willing to trust her own intuitive judgments rather than hesitation, reflection and complex analysis.
To put it simply, it is a kind of "martial arts fanatic".
Because her background is indeed ordinary, as a village girl who never dresses up, her appearance is naturally not as good as those of the exquisite young ladies in the royal capital. Therefore, she has a slight inferiority complex that she is not even aware of.
This low self-esteem will turn into a kind of aggression and hostility directed at people who are "higher than herself". But at the same time, she is afraid of causing trouble to herself who has no background, so it will not become actual words or actions. But still
It can be revealed from your attitude under pressure and your instinctive reaction when making a decision.
Because of her straightforward character, easily accessible background, excellent grades, and survival wisdom that does not offend others easily. Therefore, she will be very popular in the school environment, especially among students with relatively simple thoughts - and this
However, when she first comes into contact with society, she encounters obstacles everywhere, and she will easily become confused, even manipulated, and even go astray in life.
Now was the moment when she felt confused.
This kind of person is completely exploitable.
The weak and helpless look that Aiwass saw yesterday was precisely the posture that he carefully selected after checking Haina's information in advance to attract her in the first place.
The act of "reading a collection of poems" will give people a subconscious hint, making people think that this person is not moving. The wheelchair under him further strengthens this "still" intention, thus avoiding the need for "movement"
", "Physical fitness", "Swordsmanship" and other fields, Haina, who has self-confidence in the field of confrontation, prevents herself from arousing the opponent's competitiveness or attention in the first place.
Aiwass has looked in the mirror, and his aesthetics are normal. Of course he knows that his current body looks quite good.
So on this basis, Aiwass hired a personal maid to put makeup on himself, creating a face that looked weak and pale due to blood loss. Adjusting the fireplace to the right temperature would give people a sense of relaxation.
, the firelight can provide Aiwass with a warm-toned filter.
In this way, the image of Aiwass will arouse Haina's protective desire, at least it will not arouse her hostility because of her origin. A "weak", "injured" and "handsome" superior person will be there.
Being completely in her control at this moment will make her "hope" that Aiwass is good. In this way, he will not become her enemy.
At this point, Haina's instinct will tell her not to continue the investigation. Her work experience is not rich enough, and her behavior is easily guided by emotions. After she has given herself an answer, the next step is actually just
Just looking for evidence for this answer.
However, when a person's impression is too strong, his image will easily be abstracted and one-sided in memory.
If Haina's favorable opinion of Aiwass is too high, she will be "self-consciously disappointed" when Aiwass does something that does not meet her expectations.
Because of this, Aiwass needed to do something in advance to make his first impression not so good and perfect. So he took advantage of Haina's lateness to tell some truths that she didn't want to believe.
, thus making her feel that he is attacking her.
In fact, she made the mistake in the first place and actually expected Aiwass to attack her. In this way, she could relax a little.
After she interprets Aiwass' strange words as an attack, she will subconsciously exclude the possibility of them. And when Aiwass proposes a possibility that she can accept, she will immediately attach herself to it to reduce her guilt.
heart and relieve psychological stress.
So today and in the future, she can become her very reliable bodyguard.
After yesterday's contact and exchange, Haina would think that the two of them had become friends. And she urgently needed to show what she thought she was worth in front of this noble and innocent, gentle and artistic, weak and handsome new friend.
Ao's strength - her swordsmanship.
If she can really demonstrate this, she will think that "she has demonstrated the strengths that she is proud of" and hopes to be recognized by Aiwass.
If Aiwass confirms this and expresses that he really needs her help, this request will greatly satisfy her social needs.
In that case, Aiwass, who was obviously a suspect and whom she was wary of before contacting her, could become her good friend in just one day of contact. This would naturally draw Aiwass into the relationship.
She is in the social circle at school.
Even though bullying a young girl who had just graduated like this made Aiwass feel a little bad.
This is his debt.
And Aiwass never likes to owe favors. Once he owes a favor, he must find a way to pay it off immediately.
Otherwise, you will easily get close to others over time. And having "friends" is a very dangerous thing. You will often drag yourself into dangerous situations in order to help your friends. It is also easy to end your life because you relax your vigilance towards your friends.
Betrayed tragically.
Aiwass never liked getting too close to others.
——That will only make him feel nervous and uncomfortable.
It is better for both parties to maintain a state of helping and utilizing each other. If we stay in a healthy, efficient, and renewable business relationship, we will not be sad because of the other party's betrayal, nor feel resentful because the other party has abandoned us...
...and will not feel hesitant or guilty when preparing to betray others.
Aiwas' current predecessor is an example.
Because he was too enthusiastic and naive, he trusted his pen pals and regarded them as his friends, and he paid a heavy price.
But it is very simple for him to return the favor.
In Aiwass's memory, there is no name "Haina" in the game. If nothing else, she should have died in the first version of the game because Avalon was invaded.
Aiwass did not save Avalon for her, he did it for the stability of his own life. Therefore, saving her along with him was not a return of favor.
But with Haina's character, knowledge and ability, there must be many villains with the same ulterior motives as herself in the school who will try to become her false friends. Aiwass can easily identify those people and help her distinguish them.
Those true friends who are trustworthy and not easily betrayed.
He is very good at analyzing others.
If you really want to say it, the HR profession is somewhat Dongchang-like.
Not only is it required to have a vicious look and an objective attitude, but it must also be cold enough to be ruthless. Just a slight hook means that someone will be "eliminated", lose their job, and have their salary reduced... And this is Ai Hua.
Si's work itself.
The thing about Gengdong Factory is that ordinary employees cannot easily offend HR.
In fact, HRs from different companies in the same industry are usually in the same group and in the same circle. If someone in a company has committed something stupid, offended someone, or has any dark history, ask them in the group
Everyone knows it. It’s not a secret at all.
As long as you are still a social worker and are still changing jobs within the same industry, you cannot offend HR.
At least you can't offend the first two companies - because the back investigation will only investigate the first two companies.
Aiwass had just experienced three full years of unemployment. He had just found a job and entered this world where the future was at stake before he officially took up the position.
Even though his attitude was calm and his expression was calm, he had already done a psychological analysis on himself - he now felt strongly unsettled.
He is very satisfied with his current life, but he is clearly aware of the disaster in the future.
He desperately hopes for a stable life, and does not want to become a subjugated citizen, homeless and wandering around.
In order to fight against the fear from the future of this world, he must climb up as quickly as possible to gain control of a part of the power of the Kingdom of Avalon. At the very least, he must not allow himself to fight against the world's great enemy alone without leaving the people behind him behind.
His teammates are holding him back.
That is by no means a delusion of victimhood.
Aiwass is certain.
His vision is farther than most people in the world, and the decisions they make based on known information must be imperfect and incomplete. And Aiwass cannot easily announce the future predictions he has obtained——
He is not a saint. This prophetic information can become his precious wealth.
Because of this, Aiwass needs to gain enough influence.
It's not the "Knight" name of my adoptive father. That kind of thing can only be regarded as a nominal status. Even entering the Senate is just a battle of wits and courage with a group of old people who have grown up. If you want to do anything, you will become like water.
It's sticky and can't be spread.
The feeling that life is drifting with the tide and that one's destiny is not under one's control...it's very uncomfortable.
What Aiwass wants is for those in power to ask his opinion before making decisions. He cannot become one of them, and it is best not to be close to any faction. Nor can he become a victim of internal power struggles...
And to become a higher being than them.
Not to control others, but to keep yourself from being controlled.
It is so that oneself will not be sacrificed and there will be no need to sacrifice others.
Aiwass vaguely remembered that this incident would eventually directly involve a certain minister.
In the original history, it was the player who gained high reputation by solving this incident.
Since there is no player character in this world, he must join in the investigation of this incident.
Fortunately, Toyulia's blessing - although Aiwass still skipped the plot animation, he still remembered some details. For example, where the most critical information was, for example, what enemies were in the last dungeon,
How high is the level?
Because after a messy investigation, the first copy of this game will be opened:
