Chapter 65 Is it a closer connection than blood ties?
"Towel, handkerchief, change of clothes, identification, soap, toothbrush, tooth cleanser, fragrance... Well, I heard that there are a lot of bugs in Rustin, so you have to bring insect repellent carbolic acid. Also, even if
Don’t forget to study while traveling, so take these review materials with you!”
"Hey!"
The pink-haired little girl put everything into a small black suitcase by category, then pressed it hard, closed it, fastened the metal buttons, and tied the straps. She tried to lift it because the things she brought were
It's a bit much, so it feels heavier, but it's still within the bearable range.
Everything is ready, all we have to do is wait for the day of departure.
There was a look of expectation and longing in Metien's eyes.
At the dinner table yesterday, Lin Ge had been in this mood since she announced the result of her careful consideration. Perhaps it was because this was her first time traveling, and she had only stayed in Linville before.
The farthest place does not exceed the Tanteville Plain in the green space on the outskirts of the city. In the little girl's heart, she has always had a yearning for the unknown world in the distance; perhaps it is because she has a deep affection for the gentle and elegant sister Saint Charlia.
I have a good impression. When I think about seeing her again, my heart beats with excitement.
Of course, it may also be because she is simply happy that she can travel with Ringer and Alice.
"The prosperous city" Rosting is a city surrounded by flowers, green grass and ancient trees. What kind of people will you meet there and what things will you experience?
Magicians, elves, golden apples, threads of fate, vampires... well, forget the last one.
She shook her little head vigorously, getting rid of all the unpleasant memories about yesterday.
The mysterious and fantastic things mentioned in fairy tales and novels do make people have a desire to explore; but if it will endanger the safety of themselves and those around them, then that is another matter. The little girl has a very special interest in this regard.
Clear understanding.
If Alice hadn't won the final victory yesterday, Ringer and himself would have really died.
Vampires are all bad guys. Fortunately, I thought Miss Fiari was a good person!
She thought angrily.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, Maidien, Meridian!" Then Alice said in a carefree tone: "Are you in there? Can I come in?"
It sounded like she was asking for advice. In fact, the maid who had no employer had no intention of waiting for Metien's answer. As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door and walked in, holding a newspaper in her hand. Her eyes were on Metien.
En glanced at the small black suitcase at his feet and asked casually: "Have you packed all your luggage?"
"Yes!" Metien puffed out his chest and said in a very confident tone: "I have put in everything I need to bring, and I will never forget anything!"
"It's too soon." Alice said noncommittally: "We still have one day to go before departure. It's useless for you to pack your things so early."
"It doesn't matter, the day passed quickly!" Medien counted them on his little finger, and his serious look looked very cute: "Today has passed, and tomorrow will also pass, can't we set off?" p>
"Uh!"
Alice was speechless, and after a hiccup, she silently chose to change the subject. She handed the newspaper in her hand to Metien, and said: "When I was walking out just now, Uncle Joseph from the clock shop asked me to
I brought this thing to you and asked you why you didn’t borrow a newspaper from him today.”
Listen, this maid can already say the word "hanging out" openly.
"Ah, I forgot!"
Medien woke up from a dream. After getting up in the morning, she was busy packing her luggage, but she forgot the most important thing. She quickly reached out to pick it up. But she took the newspaper and pulled it, but it didn't move. She looked at Alice with some doubts.
, the latter curled his lips and said: "Let me remind you in advance that the above report may not be good news for you. You should think about it first before reading it, so as not to affect your good mood before the trip." p>
It's not good news... The implication is absolutely bad news. As for what kind of bad news it is, both of them know it well.
The pink-haired girl was silent for a while, then raised her head and showed a bright smile: "It's okay, Sister Alice. I'm very strong, don't underestimate me?"
It is true that the more sensible and well-behaved children are, the stronger they are, but they are also more uneasy.
Seeing her persistence, Alice couldn't help but stop her. She sighed and said, "Since you said so, don't cry later."
"I won't cry!"
Metien retorted loudly, and then angrily snatched the newspaper from her hand. It was the "Pravda" jointly published by the cult. She directly read the most prominent report on the front page, ignoring other irrelevant items.
information, directly capturing the most critical content:
"...Mr. Lanigan, the General Inspector of the Municipal Police, said in an exclusive interview with this newspaper that the terrorist attack on Saints Street had been identified as an act of revenge by some radical members of the Religious Mutual Aid Association because they were dissatisfied with the outcome of the negotiation.
They dropped hallucinogenic gases and even Molotov cocktails and other illegal weapons into the Maintes Conference Building, and then carried out destructive attacks on the entire Saints Street, causing large-scale panic in the area near the Municipal Square. It is estimated that because of this
The number of victims killed in this incident has reached 73, and the number of citizens injured in the subsequent crowding, pushing, and trampling was close to hundreds. It is the largest bad incident that Linville City has experienced in the past 50 years...
…"
"...Mr. Clermont, the general manager of the Municipal Parish Council, issued a statement, believing that many prisoners who planned this terrorist attack were probably guided by some radical teachings and took irrational actions while losing their minds.
Behavior. From this point of view, the religious atmosphere in our city still needs to be purified. For those false religions and even cults that attract, seduce and confuse citizens with bad doctrines, we must strengthen the policy of the "Religious Act" and resolutely ban them. Only in this way,
Only in this way can we avoid similar incidents from happening again..."
That's about it. After that, city officials came out to make some nonsense. To sum up, it's nothing more than: Mr. Clermont is right, the "Religious Decree" is indeed good, the "Religious Decree" is indeed wonderful, who knows?
Anyone who does not support the "Religious Decree" is not a qualified Linwellian!
So what else can Metien say?
She folded the newspaper and was silent for a while.
Although we have long known that after the blood moon change, the outcome of Tianxin Church will no longer be a fluke, but when we really face the facts, it is always difficult for people to accept it.
"Look, I told you a long time ago, it's not good news." Alice said, quietly taking the newspaper from Meridian's hand, patted the little girl on the shoulder, and comforted: "
It's all the fault of those vampires. If I catch another vampire another day, how about I take it back and vent my anger on you? Well, the premise is that there are still vampires in this city..."
Now that the Blood Moon Incident has subsided, it shows that the United Order does possess extraordinary power that ordinary people don't know about. It's also unclear which one is more powerful than their secular power and whether it can kill all those vampires in one go.
It's best to do it, Alice doesn't want to be walking on the road, and suddenly one day she will be revenged by a lot of random people such as Fialli's parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters.
Uh, what about the words she said to comfort Metien?
So, it’s just comfort, you won’t take it seriously, right?
Medien didn't take it seriously, so she raised her head and smiled at Alice even though she was reluctant: "Thank you, Sister Alice. But I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"Then let me lend you a hug?"
Alice opened her hands, showing the tenderness and tolerance that a caring big sister should have. The pink-haired little girl smiled, then obediently buried her head in her arms, closed her eyes, and sank into the depths.
In the darkness, Alice vaguely heard her whispering: "I'm sorry, father."
"I seem to have... failed to live up to your expectations."
This put the girl in a trance, and suddenly she felt like she had seen her before.
I vaguely remember that Ringer seemed to have said the same thing last night.
In a sense, these brothers and sisters are really similar, even though they have no blood relationship with each other.
