Alice originally thought that this was a technical problem, but unexpectedly it turned into a metaphysical problem in the end.
The mentally retarded AI would only use a few unintelligible words to deal with her back and forth. When asked about the specific method, it was "Players are invited to explore by themselves. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the game." That's it.
I want to praise her. Alice, who did not believe in evil, spent the whole night repeatedly, but still failed to activate the cassette. She did not fall asleep until the early morning. After a few hours of sleep, she was woken up by Ringer and got up to prepare breakfast.
The routine of the underworld naturally turned her into a person from the underworld.
At least, the resentment overflowing from those eyes made Ringer's hair stand on end.
He calmly took half a step back and commented calmly: "It is really not the right choice to work yourself to this extent just for the so-called 'game'. I think you should pay more attention to it."
It’s better to focus on your own job, Miss Alice.”
When the golden-haired maid heard this, she narrowed her eyes and tapped her shell-like teeth up and down, making an unsettling grinding sound: "So-called games? Your ideas are too outdated, Mr. Ringer."
What is the difference from the parents of the earth in ancient times who regarded games as electronic... cigarettes?
If he is not his employer, he must have a good argument.
What a pity.
Alice shook her head and decided not to delve further into this topic, so as not to affect the relationship between master and servant. Considering that a guy like Lin Ge was unlikely to have a female partner, she showed a sweet smile and pretended to send him
He expressed his concern: "Dear Mr. Ringer, when can we serve dinner?"
Ringer wore cotton gloves and moved the steaming crucible from the stove to the dining table. He turned around and said, "Wait until Metien comes back..."
Before he finished speaking, a pink-haired little girl's voice came from outside the kitchen, shouting: "Linge! Alice! Something bad is going to happen!"
Accompanied by the sound of stomping footsteps, Metien burst into the kitchen in a hurry, with a panicked expression and a newspaper in his hand. Seeing this, Ringer raised his eyebrows slightly and cast his eyes towards Alice, vaguely
He meant to blame her for leading his sister into trouble. The latter pretended not to see it and asked Metien: "What happened?"
"Look at this!"
Metien put the newspaper in his hand on the dining table with a "snap", pointed to one of the reports that occupied a large page, and said in a somewhat angry tone: "The reporter who came yesterday published the situation of Tianxin Church in the newspaper
Up!"
Alice was shocked when she heard this, and then criticized her harshly: "It's so shameless, how could she do such a thing! Didn't she promise not to make it up?"
"I'm afraid she didn't make it up, it's just that the interviewees are not us." Ringer's reaction was very calm, as if this incident was not unexpected.
He took off his cotton gloves, went to get the newspaper on the dining table, and roughly scanned the report. He found that his guess was correct. The reporter who wrote the report, Miss Fiyali, claimed to be at Holy Cross.
A manuscript written by District after interviewing a believer of the Holy Goddess Sect and based on her true story.
The report is basically based on dialogue content, most of which are ordinary, but there are a few passages that are thought-provoking.
"Are you worried about the future of Tianxin Church?"
"Yes, like most people, I was a believer of the goddess when Mr. Yang Ke opened the church. Both Mr. Yang Ke in the past and Pastor Linge now are good people who are willing to care about poor people like us.
No matter what, he should not be forgotten by everyone for some reason."
"If you are able, are you willing to contribute to the survival of Tianxin Church?"
"My answer should be yes, miss. Because this is the right thing to do, and the goddess will have mercy on us."
"What are your views on the Religious Decree?"
"I don't quite understand - or is this not something that people like us should understand?"
……
And so on. Finally, the reporter summarized the interview with a paragraph: "This is just an interview with an ordinary citizen in the Holy Cross District, but I believe it can represent the views of the vast majority of goddess believers. According to the reporter's personal interview,
It has been more than thirty years since Tianxin Church was built. It has always been dedicated to relief and charity. It is widely praised among the residents of Holy Cross District and Baicheng District and has no bad deeds. If such a church is spared from the "Religious Decree"
”, I think it’s understandable, but somehow it went the opposite way. The reporter tried to interview Mr. Ringer, the current resident pastor of Tianxin Church, but was refused. Is there any inside story that we don’t know about?
The rationality of implementing the "Religious Decree" is still an issue worthy of our consideration."
"This woman is so brave." Alice, who just came over to read the report, frowned: "She posted this, isn't she afraid that people from the United Order will come to check the VAS meter?"
"She won't be afraid." Linge said: "The major shareholder of the Citizen Evening News is the Linwell City Steam Pipe Maintenance Company, and it is said that there is investment from the Red Prayer Society behind this company."
The Red Prayer Society is the initiator and leader of the Religious Mutual Aid Association in Linville.
Alice understood immediately.
"It turns out they are all from the same breed!"
There were slang words coming out of her mouth that Ringer didn't understand, but he could more or less guess the meaning. She gently folded the newspaper and gave it back to Metien, who said: "This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Ah? How come it doesn't matter?" The maid was surprised: "If the people from the sect alliance mistakenly think that you are betraying your trust and doing something secretly, how are you going to explain it?"
Linge said: "There is no need to explain, because the United Church will not fall into such an obvious scheme. The purpose of this report is not to sow discord between us and the United Church, but to arouse the compassion and sense of justice of ordinary citizens."
, to create a public opinion advantage for their negotiations. In other words, this is a matter for the joint sect, and they will handle it well."
"Oh! So that's it!"
Alice, whose cerebellum is not fully developed, originally thought this was a big deal, but now after listening to Ringer's analysis, she thought it was no big deal. She curled her lips and said, "Then let the people in the United Order have the headache. But that one is called Feiya.
Li's unscrupulous reporter is really not a good thing. If she dares to come next time, she must be taught a lesson!"
She was gearing up and getting angry. Ringer felt that she was probably just bluffing, so he ignored her. He turned to Metien and wanted to tell her not to care about these trivial things and have breakfast first, but he found that there was something wrong with her expression, like hesitation and a little bit.
Uneasy.
Just now, when I was talking to Alice, she didn't say a word. It seemed that she had something on her mind?
Ringer was not someone who liked to beat around the bush, so he asked directly: "Meteen, what are you thinking about?"
The pink-haired little girl was startled: "Eh, eh?"
"If you have any troubles, you can tell me." Ringer was obviously much nicer to his sister than to the maid: "I will help you solve it."
Alice followed and shouted: "Yes, yes, I will help you too!"
Is it okay if you don’t do anything to help? Ringer glanced sideways at the maid, his eyes full of distrust, but she still pretended not to see it.
"Actually, it's that..." Metien hesitated, hesitating for a while, and then whispered what was worrying him: "When I went to Uncle Joseph in the clock shop to borrow a newspaper,
I heard him say that yesterday evening, he saw Mrs. Maggie talking to a woman who looked like a reporter..."
Ringer and Alice reacted instantly, and the latter quickly asked: "So do you think the goddess believer interviewed in the newspaper is Mrs. Maggie?"
"Well." Medien lowered her head, her pink braid hanging down listlessly, faithfully reflecting her master's mood. She asked with both sadness and expectation: "But I don't think Mrs. Maggie did it on purpose.
Right? She really just accepted the interview with Miss Fiyali for the sake of Tianxin Church, right?"
Yesterday, Alice's words had made her realize that accepting a newspaper interview at such a sensitive period would not only fail to save Tianxin Church, but would also cause great trouble. Therefore, she was unwilling to believe that the kind and kind Mary
Mrs. Gee would do such a thing to hurt the church. After all, the church had helped her so many times and had also paid to save the life of her youngest son Tom from the threat of fever. How could she do this?
What about this kind of thing?
The angry tone when he burst into the kitchen with a newspaper just now may not be directed at the report in the newspaper, but at Mrs. Maggie's "betrayal".
However, the little girl's heart is still innocent and kind in the final analysis, so after being angry and dissatisfied, she began to find reasons for Mrs. Maggie - or to herself, a reason to continue to believe in the other party.
Faced with this kind of difficult problem involving complex interpersonal relationships and sophistication of the world, Alice, who is called a genius player but is actually a socially fearful waste house, decisively chose to keep her mouth shut and gave the right to speak to Ringer. And the former resident pastor of Tianxin Church,
Facing my sister's expectations and luck, I nodded gently after a long silence.
He reached out his hand, gently stroked Metien's hair, and then told her: "You are right."
