A spirit emerged from the bright red door, peered around cautiously, and, seeing that He Ao had already left down the corridor, let out a long sigh of relief.

Snapped--

The bright red door was slammed shut from the inside, and the little ghost sat among the other ghosts on the door, continuing its mournful wailing.

······

As Heo walked out of the passage, the morning light shone through the glass onto the heavy cross.

Unbeknownst to him, he had spent so much time in the underground library.

He reads books at a normal speed, slightly faster than usual, without using his super memory to memorize them directly, so it's normal that it took him so long.

With a soft click, the cross automatically rotated back to face the right.

He looked at the beautiful woman in the wheelchair beside him and said softly, "I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Nell."

“Iliaan”.

The woman's voice remained cold and clear. She nodded slightly. "Your brother seems to be looking for you. I have some other matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

As she spoke, she maneuvered her wheelchair and left through a side door.

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the door, "Nell? Nell? Brother, Slug, where are you?"

He Ao: ?

Two chapters, eight thousand words each, including the morning's, that's ten thousand words a day, sob sob sob. Shamelessly asking for monthly votes.

Chapter 373 Mayor of Rock City's Speech (Two chapters combined, please follow)

"Come here, let your brother take a look."

Just as He Ao stepped out of the chapel, a figure rushed towards him.

He Ao instinctively wanted to kick him out.

I held back.

Ivo excitedly rubbed his younger brother's face and patted his shoulder, "It's been so long since I've seen you, you've grown so strong!"

He's gaze swept over Ivo's body.

Although he was covered in bandages, his physical condition seemed to have improved a lot. The bloodstains on the bandages had dried and there was no new blood. The fact that his movements had not caused the wound to tear was proof that the wound was healing very well.

Many of the bandages on his body had come loose and fell to the ground as he moved.

It's only been one night. That pharmacist is really skilled. He was able to save such a serious injury so quickly.

As he spoke, Ivo suddenly cupped Heo's face in his hands and began to pull at the corners of Heo's mouth with his thumbs, forcing a smile.

"Don't look so down. It's not good for your health to always look so bitter and resentful. Come on, smile. Give your brother a smile."

He Aoneng could clearly feel his brows furrowing into a "川" (river) shape.

Calm down, calm down. I am Nell now, and this is Fourth Brother. After all, he is Fourth Brother.

Don't act rashly.

Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling unwell?

Ivo looked at Heo with some surprise.

He looked down and glanced at the hand that had pulled his mouth up.

There was a brief silence.

He took a deep breath.

calm down.

"Hey, you're not talking or smiling, come on, give me a smile. A smile when you wake up in the morning will make your whole day pleasant."

Ivo tried to pull at the corners of Heo's mouth, attempting to make his younger brother laugh.

Tolerate···

I can't take it anymore!

He reached out and picked up the unfortunate guy, lifting him like a chick and carrying him to a nearby church pillar. He then rolled up the bandages on the ground and tied him directly to the pillar.

"Neil, you murdered your own brother! I'm still recovering from my injuries, you can't do this to me!"

Ivo was completely powerless to resist and was immediately tied to a pillar by his younger brother.

Looking at Ivo, Heo finally understood that God gives something and always takes something away.

In just two years, Ivo went from knowing nothing to being able to perfectly pilot a Class C mech; his talent for mechs is undeniable.

While God gave Ivo perfect talent in mechs, He also conveniently took away his brain.

Yesterday he thought his fourth brother had become smarter.

Unexpectedly, it was just a temporary resurgence.

Even zombies would shake their heads and leave if they saw Ivo's brain.

call--

After tying Ivo to the pillar, Heo felt a little better. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the church door.

Actually, Nell had wanted to bully his fourth brother, who sometimes didn't think things through, for a long time, but he couldn't beat his fourth brother. Every time he tried to fight, his fourth brother would beat him up.

He Ao felt a long-suppressed resentment dissipate, and his steps became lighter.

Ivo, who was tied to the pillar, smiled as he watched his younger brother's somewhat carefree figure.

Just then, a soft laugh came from the side, and a simply dressed woman walked by, covering her face.

go with.

Ivo suddenly realized a serious problem: quite a few people passed through this corridor in the morning, and many of them were people he knew.

While at the Federal Military Academy, Ivo had heard a saying.

There are three deaths in a person's life.

The first time is when your heart stops beating, and your physical body dies.

The second time is at the funeral, when you die in society.

The third time is when the last person who remembers you dies, and you are gone from history.

Ivo Ivo felt that his physical body was still alive and he didn't want to die yet.

"Nell! My good brother! Nell!!!! I was wrong, I was wrong, please untie me!!!"

······

Heo didn't hear Ivo's shouts, and even if he had, he would have pretended not to.

He returned to the main sanctuary of the church, found the apothecary who was examining each patient, and asked if being tied to the pillar would affect Ivo's injuries.

After receiving the pharmacist's reply that it "would have no effect," He Ao walked straight towards the side door on the right, which he remembered the old foreman had entered the previous night.

The side door was closed at the moment, and a thin young man stood in front of it, seemingly hesitating about something.

At this moment, He Ao walked over, glanced at He Ao, and then turned and left.

He Ao glanced at the young man with suspicion. He had just arrived at the miners' mutual aid association and didn't know what the man did.

He walked to the side door.

There was a soft rustling sound coming from inside the door, as if the old man was slowly getting dressed.

He Ao waited a moment until the sound completely stopped and slow footsteps sounded from inside the door before reaching out to knock.

"Hold on."

An aged voice came from inside the house.

After a while, the door opened, and an elderly man dressed in simple gray and white clothes appeared in He Ao's sight.

"Nell?" The old man seemed somewhat surprised by He's appearance. "What do you need me for?"

He pointed inside the room. "I had some trouble at the church last night and I'd like to talk to you about it."

...ten minutes later...

He briefly recounted how he discovered the underground library in the early morning and met Ilya Ann there.

However, he omitted the hidden details and simply summarized the events.

The older foreman is less resistant to pollution, and knowing too much can easily lead to problems.

“Ms. Elijah was the speaker of the city council two terms ago,” the old foreman said slowly. “After the last council election, the current mayor took power, and her party became a minority party. So she gave up her position as a councilor, withdrew from politics, and went into seclusion in this church.”

He Ao: "She and the miners' mutual aid association are...?"

"She was a key supporter of the miners' mutual aid society,"

The old foreman looked at He Ao and smiled. "When I decided to expand the miners' mutual aid association, she contacted me and said she could provide us with financial and some resource support. Most of the miners' mutual aid association's expenses were provided by her."

So that's how it is. The miners' mutual aid society was quite large and had existed for nearly ten years, with most of its participants being penniless miners.

He Ao had some doubts before about where the old foreman's funds and channels came from.

After all, any organization needs a stable source of funding to continue operating.

Hatred can only sustain the will to fight, it can't fill an empty stomach.

The Speaker of the City Council is the official who presides over the council. If the mayor dies unexpectedly or resigns, the Speaker is the second in line to succeed the vice mayor and is one of the highest-ranking officials in the fortress city.

Furthermore, since the speaker is elected by the council, the majority party is more likely to elect its own member as speaker. Therefore, the speaker is often the leader of the majority party in the city council and can influence the behavior of the council, thereby affecting the enactment or repeal of laws.

The fact that the miners' mutual aid association's main source of funding comes from the former city council speaker is something that deserves serious consideration.

The miners' mutual aid association and the mining conglomerate are mortal enemies, and judging from the troop movements last night, the current mayor is likely a powerful figure within the mining conglomerate.

Is Ilya's secret support for the miners' mutual aid society aimed at dealing with her political enemies?

She saw the miners' mutual aid society as a sharp dagger.

He Ao was not averse to this approach. When facing a common enemy, the relationship of mutual benefit was sometimes more stable and easier to predict than emotions.
