Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

At ten o'clock in the evening, the bottom of the watermelon juice glass was empty, and an ethereal and melodious female voice sounded:

"Hello passengers, the terminal of this boat train has arrived at 'Kakkar'. Passengers please queue up in front of each cabin door to wait for landing. In order to save time for landing, please show your smart network ID card in advance when the queue is about to reach you. , so that you can collect your package in time."

"Hello passengers..."

The landing announcement sounded repeatedly. Aecilia followed the instructions and went to line up and showed her ID in time. The staff checked the picture and the actual object and handed the denim backpack to her.

After getting off the spaceship step by step, the white hall came into view. The design when you get off the ship is the same as when you boarded the ship, except that the decoration is more gorgeous.

Holding my backpack and standing in the lively hall even though it was night, I had no time to take in the surrounding scenery. The unique fresh smell after the rain penetrated my nostrils, and my dry skin gradually became moist and relaxed. It seemed that the person who was there was The bored girl on the spaceship integrated into the new world after the rain.

Looking up, the night outside the neat and huge glass window is bright. A group of white pigeons are passing by in the night. The yellow and bright street lights boldly show their presence. The pools on the ground and the branches and leaves on the trees quietly Reflective.

Stepping out of the hall, and then passing through countless security checks and identity verification offices, I finally approached the gate of the central airship field. Seeing that I was about to have vivid contact with the outside world, before I even breathed out, a black streak of black light came out. The shadow rushed past him and hit the package he was carrying with one hand. His already shaky shoulders stopped working, pulling his whole body and crashing to the ground. At the same time, there were the sounds of chaotic footsteps and people behind him. The crisp sound of appliances banging together.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Call the patrol! Quick!"

……

A pair of uniform black boots quickly crossed the side of her face. Before Aecilia could react, her brain had no time to resume normal operation. Her body was slowly lifted up by several pairs of arms, and the backpack that fell aside was also lifted up. People picked it up.

"Are you okay, girl? The police team is chasing the fugitive. I'm so sorry that I couldn't take care of you because I was running too fast."

"Did you get hurt anywhere?"

"Would you like a drink of water?"

Aecilia regained her composure and saw clearly the people in front of her. They were wearing uniform security uniforms, and their shoes were obviously different from the standard boots she had admired a lot just now. They did not belong to the same team.

I felt the injuries on my body. Fortunately, I just fell down and scratched my skin a little bit, nothing serious. She had just finished a glass of juice and was not thirsty, so she said:

"Uncles, I'm fine, thank you, I don't need to drink water..."

Taking the heavy backpack under the worried eyes of the other party, Aecilia said goodbye to them.

The moment she stepped out of the door, she sighed softly in her heart:

"What a bad start."

Carefully avoiding puddles on the ground, I walked on the sidewalk following the smart navigation. Under the bright night, with the shadows of the trees dancing and the gentle breeze caressing me, it was quite pleasant.

Above the waiting hall of the central airship field, at the highest point of the entire building, a figure with a vague face stretched out his hand against the wind and twisted the letter paper at the feet of the flying white pigeon.

"The dream will not end after Utopia dissipates. The puppet will move its joints and dance after the devil approaches."

His long hair was fluttering in the wind in the night. If someone saw the man's back from a distance, he could see through the gaps in his hair the sparks and ashes that turned the paper in his hand into flames.

The hotel provides dinner that has been booked in advance and is available to guests in a buffet style on the first floor. After arriving at the hotel, Aecilia went to the room first to put down her heavy backpack. She caught a glimpse of a check-in guide on the table. She picked it up and flipped through it. She found that there was a door-to-door food delivery service, so she ordered a barbecue on Zhinao according to the instructions. A vegetable salad and a bowl of rice, and then stayed in a soft chair for a while, then reluctantly stood up and inspected the room.

There is hot water, TV, and air conditioning, which is perfect. She also found a hot water bottle and tea bags, as well as several bags of instant coffee.

It’s free, and you can take it away in your bag if you don’t finish it.

While waiting for the meal, she turned on the air conditioner and TV. She shifted her position, moved her tired body to the bed, leaned against the white pillow, and closed her eyes comfortably.

The sound insulation effect of the room is very good, except for the sound from the TV, there is basically no unnecessary sound.

After eating and drinking, she turned on the navigation system on her smart computer and roughly grasped the location of tomorrow's visit. She couldn't wait to dim the lights, pulled the air-conditioned quilt that originally covered her feet, wrapped herself in it, and gradually sank into sleep. Falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Aecilia made a simple breakfast and called a pumpkin carriage at the gate using the smart network.

When the coachman in black uniform drove his horse in front of her, she realized that the pumpkin carriage was not made of real pumpkins, but a material she could not name, but the shape and color looked like pumpkins. The horses seemed real, and they could "neigh", but the white smoke coming out of their noses looked like water vapor.

The carriage passed through many scenery that she had never been exposed to before. After arriving at the designated place, she paid the fare first and then slowly got out of the car.

Kakar Magic Lane is not as small and crowded as its name suggests. In fact, it is a wide and open place. People were coming and going around her, and she didn't know where to go for a moment. She just stood there and scanned the location signs.

"SFDT (abbreviation for college) entrance test meeting point"

"Exam room distribution map"

"Shortest route"

……

After checking one by one, she found that the examination room had been sealed off, so she could only look for the location of the examination room within sight. After having a rough idea, she was about to leave when she suddenly heard the people around her talking, so she pretended to continue looking at the examination room. Open your ears and start listening.

"This time it's Lawrence's Morton? The prosecutors are really quick to start. How many days have passed since the last time we had Wade Ryan?"

"We should have obtained the evidence in advance, so we might as well arrest him all at once. I have to say that the prosecutorial team directly under the king is different. The anti-corruption efficiency is really high."

"Before, Wade Ryan sent people to transport some stolen money out of the country. I heard that they were intercepted. They are already drinking tea."

"I know, I know. Everyone went to the Central Aircraft Field at that time, and was discovered. My second uncle was working as a security guard there, and the man bumped into a little girl."

"Then she is not very lucky. By the way, which examination room are you in?"

"C, you have to climb a lot of stairs. What about you?"

……

Hearing this, Aecilia withdrew her raised ears and did a simple search on the Internet.

It's nothing. Recently, Aaron XXVI's anti-corruption campaign has been very popular, and many "Your Excellency" have been temporarily dismissed.

Ecilia had nothing to do for a while, so she found a chair and sat browsing the Internet, euphemistically called gathering information.

I looked at the time and saw that it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning. I was still feeling melancholy and had nothing to do this day. Suddenly, a notification sounded on the smart network, and a piece of news instantly occupied the homepage of the news network.

"Morton was found dead at home at nine o'clock this morning. He was suspected of committing suicide due to fear of crime."

Click to open and slide down.

"A large amount of evidence of corruption was found in his study. There is also evidence that he is suspected of colluding with foreign businessmen and is suspected of assisting in smuggling and transporting magic crystals into the country."

……

After reading the not-so-long article, Aecilia felt a little dull.

Magic crystal is one of the most important energy sources in the current century. Magical smart devices, airships, railways and even daily household appliances supported by technological power all require the maintenance of magic crystal. All magic crystal veins in the country are under the unified control of the kingdom's official, and their external sales , purchases have strict regulations.

In fact, it is easy to understand. Some of the airships made with magic crystals can carry passengers, and some can also carry private armed forces.

The consequences for crimes involving magic crystals are usually extremely harsh.

Thinking of something, she immediately made a video call to Hammer.

"Hammer? Is May at your place?"

Before she got the answer, she immediately saw the sweet milk on the table beside Hammer, something that would never appear in Green's Bakery.

"Yes. The two of them were taken away by the prosecutor this morning, and little Mei was placed with me. She has been crying. I heard you said before that she likes to drink sweet milk, so I hurried to buy it. I just got home. .”

Between Hammer and her, "the two of them" is the only pronoun for the Kralls.

Aecilia asked knowingly: "What happened to the two of them?"

Hammer: "The buying and selling of degrees was discovered. I told the police station guards who came here that you had gone out to take an exam at another school. They said that if you passed the exam, they would give you financial compensation, and if you failed, they would give you your degree back.

"His daughter Mariana didn't know about the degree. She always thought that she was admitted. Now she should be divided according to the original grades, and she can inherit part of her father's property later. The result was sent to me three seconds ago It's online. I'm afraid that they will affect your exam status, so I asked them to contact me first. You should receive a notification after you finish the exam.

"Anyway, just leave the follow-up processing to me. You can do your own thing with peace of mind."

After hanging up the phone, she felt a little complicated. The Kralls and Morton indeed deserved their punishment, but the innocent little May will become the former Aecilia.

——It’s not right to say that, May will be much luckier than her, because at present, it seems that Green Bakery will be the one to take her in.

May's custody matters and financial assistance matters will be resolved by the local government of Lawrence. With Hammer here, she does not need to worry too much.

She was only worried about Mei's current mood.

Early the next morning, she arrived at the examination room and waited for admission.
