Chapter 368: Chance Encounter and Reunion

Agatha checked the hidden compartment where the queen's profile was hidden, and it was indeed as reported by her subordinates - it was a private place to secretly commemorate the Frost Queen, and there was no trace of any supernatural power left.

She looked at the items that had been found: plaster statues, commemorative coins, manuals.

Fifty years ago, this would have been worth a noose.

But those terrifying years that made everyone nervous have passed. Today's Frost authorities have to consider the long-term stability of the city-state and their own image of justice. They cannot go to war just because of private commemorative behaviors - now this kind of innocuous commemoration

Behavior usually only results in a warning and at most a fine.

And even warnings and fines are matters for the Sheriff to consider - secular decrees and laws are not the responsibility of the cathedral.

"This is not something we should be concerned about," Agatha shook her head. "Let's sort out this part of the situation, notify the public security authorities, and let them be responsible for the follow-up work. But we have to take these souvenirs back and check them in case...

.Hiding something."

"yes."

After briefly arranging some follow-up finishing work on site, Agatha stood up from the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are too many things that need to be dealt with, and she cannot continue to delay here.

"Remember to follow up on the investigation at the sewage treatment center and monitor the pipeline system in this area at any time." She finally ordered her subordinates, and then walked out of the room.

Outside the house is a narrow corridor, and the old stairs extend forward under the dim light. Two other households quietly open the door and pay attention to what is going on here. A few pairs of slightly panicked eyes look out from the crack in the door.

With.

Agatha waved her hand at the eyes.

"Go home, pack your things, and wait for instructions. Temporary evacuation is required here - please don't worry.

We will solve the problem here as soon as possible, and you can go home soon."

After saying these words, Agatha didn't care about the subsequent reactions of the residents, and walked down the stairs towards the exit on the first floor.

She didn't use "Gray Wind" to rush, even though she liked to do that on weekdays - but today her thoughts were very confused, and many disturbing things were entangled in her mind. She felt that she needed to sort out her thoughts, and walking slowly would help.

think.

At the same time, she also wanted to sense the remaining breath in the entire building to see if she could observe the remaining "element" pollution in other places.

Just like that, thoughtfully, she walked along the old stairs to the exit and came to the open space outside the residential building.

The stale musty smell suddenly dissipated, and the fresh and cold air lifted Agatha's spirit. It even gave her a moment of delusion - as if she had emerged from a dark and damp cave.

It was like walking out into the sunshine.

The crowd gathered outside the residential building had dispersed, leaving only a few curious passers-by in twos and threes, pointing and pointing at a safe distance. After Agatha appeared, those passers-by quickly left.

No, there are still people here.

Agatha frowned. She saw a young woman wearing a veil, with long blond hair, and holding a big bag in her arms, still standing in the open space in front of a residential building, looking like she was in a daze.

"This place is blocked, please don't stay," Agatha stepped forward and reminded in a slightly serious tone, "Are you a resident here?"

The blond woman wearing a veil seemed to be startled and woke up suddenly. She turned her head to look at Agatha and pointed to herself in confusion: "Are you talking to me?"

"Of course, who else is here?" Agatha frowned. For some reason, she was always a little concerned about the stranger in front of her. Although she confirmed that she did not know him, she always felt that the outline between his eyebrows seemed familiar, like

It seemed like they had just met each other not long ago, "Are you a resident here?"

"Ah, no, no," Alice waved her hand quickly and pointed to the distance, "I live over there, it's quite far away - what happened here? I heard someone died?"

"The guardian is handling the matter." Agatha said casually, but at the same time she was a little confused - the blond woman opposite had a strange reaction. Didn't she recognize herself as the gatekeeper of the city-state?

Alice didn't notice any change in the eyes of the woman in black clothes and bandages in front of her - she just thought the other person's outfit was really interesting.

It looks very much like the captain now.

But the captain told me not to comment on other people's appearance casually, and not to talk too much about yourself to strangers - the former is not polite enough, and the latter is not cautious enough.

Alice couldn't quite spell the words yet, but she felt that the captain must be right.

It's time to say goodbye.

So she waved her hand to Agatha and said in a cheerful tone: "Then I'll go first! Thank you for answering my question!"

The blond woman wearing a veil just left, looking very happy, but when Agatha looked at her leaving figure, she felt strange in her heart.

What on earth is this person here for?

She has lived in this city-state for more than 20 years, but she has never seen such a person - there is an indescribable, simple and happy atmosphere all over her body, her tone is unsuspecting when she speaks, and she smiles

There is no haze in his appearance.

Agatha frowned, and then suddenly froze. It seemed that she didn't notice something strange just now until the other party left.

"No breathing and heartbeat...?!"

The young gatekeeper suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction in which the blonde woman was leaving. He subconsciously wanted to catch up with her, but just when she was about to take a step, a rush of footsteps suddenly interrupted her movement.

.

A guard in black ran over, holding a piece of information in his hand and looking quite anxious.

"What happened?" Agatha frowned and asked seriously before the other party could speak. At the same time, she couldn't help but murmured in her heart - this is already messy enough, don't let anything happen again.

"An urgent dispatch came from Cemetery No. 3," the guard in black stood up straight and spoke quickly, "The clues about the mysterious visitor, the original is here."

Agatha's breathing paused obviously, then she snatched the letter from the other party's hand, shook it open twice, and quickly scanned the words.

The young gatekeeper fell silent and stood motionless as if frozen. He did not move for a long time.

The guard in black looked at his immediate superior with some worry, and after a few seconds couldn't help but say: "...Gatekeeper, this matter..."

Agatha slowly turned her head and looked into the eyes of her subordinates: "If someone suddenly tells you that a certain existence similar to an ancient god has come to the city-state as a physical entity, and the way to walk in the world is to go to the Citizen Help Center and rent a two-bedroom apartment.

A house with a terrace…how would you react?”

"...I will find the nearest church for psychological counseling, or consult a well-known psychiatrist." The guard in black said honestly.

"You are right, but unfortunately I am already the spokesperson of the highest-level church in the city-state, and psychiatrists cannot solve the problem of the arrival of the ancient gods." Agatha sighed and slowly put away the letter paper, "

Everything is important, and everything must be prioritized first...sigh."

She raised her head and looked at the place mentioned in the intelligence - Oak Street.

It happened to be the direction that the weird blond woman with no breathing or heartbeat left just now.

Nina ran around the whole house excitedly, and then got into the kitchen, studying the kitchen utensils that were obviously much better than those in Pland's home.

Shirley and Agou walked around the living room and dining room on the first floor, pretending to "inspect" the place, and occasionally stopped to comment on the surrounding furnishings.

The two of them were exhausted from staying on the Homeless Ship for so long.

Ai fell on the dining table not far away, and his whole body was buried in a pile of French fries - today was his day to eat a lot of food.

Duncan sat on the sofa in the living room, watching this scene with a smile - although all his smiles were blocked by thick bandages, Vanna, standing next to him, had an inexplicable feeling... At this moment

Captain Duncan's eyes are like a kind old father.

Fanna quickly shook her head, putting aside the somewhat outrageous association, and looked at the two girls (and the dog) running around the house.

"There is an empty room upstairs for you. Did you go check it out just now?"

"Have a look!" Nina trotted over and nodded repeatedly, "It's very good, it's a lot bigger than my room in Prade!"

"This place is really nice." Shirley also ran over, with a bright smile on her face. "I wish I had known that you guys had settled so well in the city-state. I came here two days ago - it's so boring on a boat! Every day.

Things to do…

Duncan slowly turned his head: "The homework I leave you every day is enough for you to write for three hours - why do you have nothing to do?"

Shirley immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and instantly shrank her neck.

"Did you write it for her?" Duncan lowered his head slightly and looked at Agou who was trying hard to hide himself in the shadows.

Agou's head almost retracted into his neck: "I...I am practicing more for myself so that I can live up to your hard work..."

Duncan laughed - he laughed out loud and looked very happy. Search Sanyou Novels on Bing or Baidu to read them first every day.

"Relax, I just brought you here to play, I don't specifically want to criticize you," he waved his hand and looked up at the clock on the wall, "Alice should be back later, there is still at least an hour before dinner.

, Shirley, go make up for your homework, starting from page 16 of the vocabulary book."

Shirley's mournful screams sounded in the ears of Vanna and Morris after a long absence.
