old dream

Chapter 214 Madness and Sacredness

This time, the Ninth inning reacted exceptionally quickly.

Once they realized that it was impossible to bypass the lieutenant, they began to think pragmatically about repairing the relationship.

So soon, Goldie became the first batch of victims.

There were mistakes in the work she did, so she was downgraded two levels in a row.But some people still feel that this alone is not enough to express sincerity.So in the end, she was simply thrown to the lieutenant's side, becoming something more like a nanny than an undercover agent.

Until now, Colin still remembers the look in her eyes that seemed to see the end when she first came here.

The meaning of the Ninth Bureau seems to be that you can deal with her whatever you want.

That was already five days ago. At that time, the small half of Stade was still under military control, and all bootlegging transactions in the city were forced to suspend.Colin didn't dare to make any extra moves, so he was free to concentrate on "taking care of" Goldie.

"Can you really do anything?"

Ke Lin sat on the boss's leather chair with his legs crossed and asked.

In front of the writing desk, Goldie bit her lips in humiliation and unwillingness, and glanced to the side with some stubbornness, but she also acquiesced to the lieutenant's question.

It is entirely conceivable what this man will let himself do.

"Then let's do the problem," said Colin.

"doing what……?"

She thought she had heard it wrong, but when she turned around, she noticed the whole stack of papers that Colin had placed on the desk.

"This time, just fill in these first. Don't worry, there will be new questions for you every week in the future."

Colin tapped his temple.

"Since you're here, don't even think about being idle for a moment."

How to maximize the value of a free class superhuman?
Ask Ji Lian to give her a question.

Questions they urgently need answers to right now.

And in order to prevent Goldie from making up random things, Ke Lin made each question appear repeatedly, confirming each other from different angles, and as a result, the workload increased several times.

"what?"

For a moment, Goldie couldn't understand her situation. She picked up the stack of papers, glanced at them, and thought that she had returned to her student days with headaches every day.

But in addition to those mysterious knowledge, there are actually some problems of calculation and statistical frequency.

Because now that she was ready to do free mental work... Colin began to feel that it would be better to leave some boring and repetitive tasks in the hands of himself and Benedict to her.

"That's about it for this week."

It was inevitable that there was a sense of guilt in his heart, so Colin thoughtfully helped Goldie fill the pen with ink, and handed it to her with both hands:

"This is also helping you improve yourself, isn't it! Calm down and work hard!"

When he said these righteous words against his will, Colin experienced the pleasure of a capitalist for the first time.

Those things that can confuse Ji Lian, one can imagine how tricky they will be.Some questions, like "one plus one", have always been taken for granted by Goldie, but when you think about it carefully, you are puzzled by many questions and don't know how to answer them.

But if this part is somewhat interesting except for "difficulty", then the rest is just boring and meaningless to the point of heinously:
Repeat the four arithmetic operations on some unknown numbers.Even, count the tens of thousands of letters in random order, and then record the results one by one.

It takes several hours of continuous counting, which directly makes people drowsy with distracting thoughts in their minds, but just at the level where they cannot fall asleep, and even continue to think about those difficult problems.

Sometimes Goldie even suspected that this was a vicious torture created by Colin on the spur of the moment.She had seen people break down after days of being exposed to bright lights in the interrogation unit.

Even she herself has received less strict anti-interrogation training. The so-called anti-interrogation means to try all the interrogation methods from her own people. Her performance has always been excellent, which is why she was "entrusted with important tasks" by some people above.

But now, after five consecutive days of mental torture, Goldie almost rolled his eyes.

She became less interested in anything around her.Even if Colin and Ricardo were talking about things beside her, Goldie no longer cared about what she heard.

"Your attire is too flamboyant, and I don't want to attract extra attention from others."

Colin held the exaggerated lace and said:

"Go change into an unremarkable one, and go out with me tonight."

Goldie was startled when he heard this, and then a gleam of life returned to his gray eyes.No matter what I will face again, no matter what it is, it will be better than what I am doing now.

…………

Before his death, Ball's younger brother, Leon, mentioned that there was a child in the attic of his house.Colin thought he was referring to the kid who tipped off the news with his feet, and he was very impressed, because this incident almost cost him his life.

After completely defeating the northern organization, Colin consulted with an arms dealer on how to deal with such matters.The answer given there was, if you don't want to kill him, then send him to Kayu.There are almost no ships back home in that place, and a child who doesn't understand anything can only spend his life there.

But at least I can survive, and it won't be too painful.

This matter was handed over to Leon at the time.Colin thought that he hadn't sent the person away when he died, so he found someone else to do it after Leon's death, and asked him to see the child board the ship in a few days.

But today, Colin heard another piece of news from the person in charge.

"The child who first tipped off the news was sent away long ago, and now the one who lives upstairs in Leon is a completely different person."

Girl, besides, there is something wrong with her appearance.The man who went to do business used a strange expression:

"I don't know how to put it into words. It's a strange thing. Before I joined the army, I heard similar rumors in the country. Some hysteria, which suddenly makes people unusual. Lieutenant, you'd better go and see for yourself... ...But be sure to bring a qualified priest and tell him that it is the problem of the child's illness...Then, pay attention to safety."

…………

On the night of bloody riots, both the military doctor of Sincilian descent and his wife of Ankh blood died at the hands of Boer.But their mixed-race child, Lisa, survived because she was hidden under the floor by the military doctor in advance.

The house appeared empty after the thugs had removed everything of value.No one dared to come in and take a look even though the door of the house, which had been split by a heavy axe, was open.So the dead silence continued like this, and Lisa never came out from under the floor.

It was daylight, and then it was almost dark again.After a long silence, a man pushed open the twisted door.

His breathing was disordered, he seemed to be running all the way, without looking around, he went straight to Lisa's hiding place.Kneeling down, he carefully groped for the camouflage on the floor, while groping, he was still muttering: "What have we done?"

"What have we done?"

Last night, Lisa had seen the face of the man, a member of the mob, through the cracks in the planks.Beside the most dreadful old man.While the parents were talking, Lisa cautiously looked out, and accidentally made eye contact with him.

The man held a gun in his hand, and she closed her eyes in fear.

However, that person did not tell the old man about it.

While the others began to search the house, the man was standing on the floor above Lisa's head, intentionally or not.He was the last to leave the house when it was all over.

"Crack."

In the messy darkness, the man opened the inconspicuous lock and carefully lifted the floor.

In less than half a cubic meter of space, Lisa curled up sideways.She hid her hands between her hip bones, her eyes were closed tightly as if she was in a deep sleep, but the dust under her face was soaked, and there were still trembling tears on her eyelashes.

A small animal hiding in a cave.Because of wearing a small skirt, there were many abrasions on the limbs.

The man was trembling to test her breath, holding back his hands and feet, as if he was touching a flower made of glass, or waiting for some kind of sentence.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and drew something on his chest.

The man kept his original kneeling position, and after a few minutes of silence, his mood calmed down.Only then stretched out his hands to hold Lisa up, and wanted to take her out of here.

There was an empty street outside the house, and after walking for more than ten minutes, they entered the noisy and lively night market.Little Lisa was on Leon's back, still crying.She hadn't rested or eaten all day, so now her head was heavy, and she pressed her forehead against his sweaty back, and fell asleep peacefully during the ups and downs of walking.

…………

Colin wondered where Leon had gotten another child.He loves kids, but has always been single.

Then out of nowhere, something else went wrong with the kid.Judging from the ambiguous expression of the person in charge, it might be related to the mysterious thing.

It might not be, but Colin still took Goldie with him just to be on the safe side.

Colin temporarily parked the car outside Goldie's house, waiting for the woman to change out of her exaggerated pagan attire.Although she is a secret police detective, she has been in the circle of underground wizards for too long, and she doesn't know whether she is trying to blend in with them or is really influenced by them, and even her taste has become weird.

But at least she wasn't adorned with snakes, crow's claws, and human artifacts, which might have helped.

After a while, Goldie returned to the car wearing a neat business attire, a narrow skirt, and her hair tied up.

"It's not like I like to dress like that."

As Goldie said this, his eyes were flooded, and he seemed a little teary.

Just paying homage to a career.

Being an undercover agent among underground wizards, I thought it would be my starting point, but I didn't expect it to be my end.

So those "professional attire" in the past have become wedding-like nostalgia.

Colin silently started the redstone engine and drove towards Leon's house.

Goldie's strength is probably at the level of just reaching the female moon.According to Ke Lin's classification, it belongs to the "second type of lineage" that feeds on virtual world explorers.

This is an expensive and delicate sword, as it requires a great deal of time and cost to decipher the object's psychic structure.Therefore, with the support of intelligence and remote analysis assistance, Goldie will be very powerful, killing the "Old City Eagle" without a trace, and even completely deterring Boer's actions.

At least half of these achievements are the result of the collaboration of a large number of analysts behind her.

So once she gets out of the ninth inning, she will be in a very awkward position.

Reliance on assistance is also one of the reasons why supernatural beings in secret organizations are highly restrained.

However, as an officially trained Transcendent, Goldie's abilities are relatively balanced.Even if he loses his core ability, at least he won't lose to any wizard below the female moon.

Even, Colin thought.

Once it's in my hands, it may not be impossible to support her spirit cracking.

Soon they came to Leon's house.Because the comb fire in the hearth is still assembling the body, Colin's strength has not yet recovered, and all he can rely on is a few pre-prepared diamond techniques.

Looking at the dark room in front of him, because he hadn't scouted it beforehand, Colin felt a little uncertain for a moment.

He suddenly missed the days when Giovanni was around.

It's a pity that because of the absence of the lighting system, the protection of the five-handed core list has lost its meaning.So now, Giovanni has devoted all his energy to guarding Julieo.

Ke Lin closed the car door, silently activated the Vajra Technique, and then walked into the room.

Goldie followed behind him.

It's just a child, and the strength of intention is always limited. Even if he accidentally suffers from a strange disease and possesses extraordinary abilities, so what?

"Ever seen anything like that in the ninth inning?"

Colin climbed up the ladder with a lantern, and asked Goldie behind him.

"A person enters the extraordinary just because of madness?"

"...It's not uncommon." Goldie said.

Rather, this is the origin of witchcraft and religion in the first place.In neurological abnormalities such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, and depersonalization, the light of ecstasy that does not exist in the physical world is glimpsed, and in this accident, human beings are connected with the virtual world for the first time.

"It's just that this kind of matter is generally not managed by the Ninth Bureau."

"Then who will handle it?"

Although Ke Lin asked this question, he already vaguely had an answer in his heart.

Orders, and their affiliated organizations.

Or in Stade's case, probably the Jackdaw Hunting Group.

After all, such a lunatic can easily be regarded as a saint.Ordinary people may regard this kind of thing as a miracle, which in turn involves the interpretation of divine will.Left alone, those discourses may take on new authority.

Perhaps this is why, the orders were never united, always divided "orders":
It is difficult for them to form a unique voice.

At this moment, Goldie suddenly fell silent.She stood under the ladder and did not answer Colin's question.Instead, he took two steps back slightly, reached out and took out the slender pipe in the satchel.

Because at this moment, she sensed the presence of another person present.

Colin turned his head slowly, and by the moonlight, he saw the figure not far from the attic.

The other party seemed to have noticed the movements of Colin and Goldie earlier. She was leaning against the open window, looking at the two who had just arrived with a reserved smile.

That is definitely not the outline of a child, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a woman.

And it seems to be, Yemin?
