Most of the gangsters have never been out of Paradise in their lives. Some well-informed "old men" saw it, and said to the younger brother next to them, "Tell the boss, there is an epidemic doctor at the station", and then watched the two women leave. His territory is getting farther and farther away.
The paradise was originally a residential area for workers. They worked in the three cities of Lien, and they took short-distance trains at night to return to cheap rental houses. Fall asleep in the smell.
However, as more and more people live in the park, the area of the paradise gradually expands to the south, and with the well-developed water network in the mountains, many small factories and workshops are opened here, gradually forming what it is today.More than 50 people "reproduce and live" here, and there is a continuous influx of migrant workers to complete the metabolism of the paradise. Families that can live here for several generations are often shopkeepers in the market.
Therefore, the paradise can also be divided into a "rich area" and a "slum".
At least there is a station here, and the further you go to the corner of the mountain, people can only move forward with two legs and pack animals.
After walking through two villages and towns, the smoke gradually decreased, and the environment has indeed improved a lot, but the improvement is quite limited.
Led by Naina, Cloris passed by the lively and crowded square market.A waif on the side of the road looked at her curiously.
"Don't give them money. The more you give these homeless children, the more they will ask you for it," Naina whispered. "These children have their own gangs, and many Star Church almshouses have suffered here." The elf took out the bread from the handbag and handed it over, "This is for you, we don't have change."
The waif took the bread, spat on the ground, cursed and left.
"That's it," Naina sighed, "but don't think too badly of them because of this... There are still very strong and well-behaved children."
Cloris didn't actually pay attention to these waifs.
Even more tragic, she has seen countless cases in the city that never sleeps. No matter how she plans to do charity for Naina, it is actually just to make the elves happy and maintain the human setting of the plague doctor.I really want these people to get out of trouble, but it can't be done by giving money.
Cloris' eyes were on the nun who was posting missing person notices not far away.
"Excuse me, have you seen this girl?"
With an anxious face, she took the leaflets and asked them one by one, and there were a few children around her helping to distribute and post them.
Cloris picked up a piece of crumpled paper on the ground, and opened it to look. It was printed with a poor-quality photo of a young nun, and the star ring on the veil seemed to be shining.
"Excuse me, have you seen this girl? She is with me, she..."
"Go away, go away!"
Sister Xingchen was roughly pushed away by a passerby, and her foot slipped on the oil soup and moss on the ground. She groaned, but found that she did not fall.
A woman wearing a bird's beak mask supported her.
"You are..." Sister Xingchen's eyes lit up immediately, as if she had caught a life-saving straw, she asked for help in a crying voice, "Your Excellency, Doctor Epidemic, my partner got lost at noon today, and the divination says that there is someone to find her here." Clues, but no, no..." She took Cloris's arm, and found that she was even slender than herself. The nun didn't have time to think, and just pleaded with sobs, "There are many places where I can't go in and investigate, help me Well, she must still be around!"
461. Three years and three years
In Gulingting, it is not common sense to have difficulty finding an epidemic doctor.The Life Research and Protection Association is not short of manpower, but the number of epidemic doctors is not too large. Even if the recruitment conditions have been relaxed in the past 200 years, the total number is only more than [-].
It sounds like a lot, but if this group is spread throughout the deep world, it is actually just a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, epidemic doctors seldom pay attention to human suffering in all aspects, but focus more on cleaning up curses.
Even so, Sister Star still sought help from Cloris after the first sight—in any case, the character of the epidemic doctor is well-known, and even the most vicious epidemic doctor has his own bottom line and ethics.
"What's going on?" Cloris gently asked the nun in front of her.
Compared with the turbidity like Alista, the young nun has brown hair and a shawl, and has a sweet voice. Although she is two inches taller than Cloris, she looks like a big girl who has not experienced much in the world.
Sister Xingchen was holding back her tears, almost crying. She suppressed her breath and explained as calmly as possible: "We are nuns from the nearby charity home. Emile went to the clinic at noon to buy medicine for the patients in the charity home, but she She never came back, and the doctor at the clinic didn't see her..."
The Star Church has a special allocation to help the poor. Unlike other churches' poorhouses for missionary purposes, the Star Church seldom shows a strong desire to preach.
Far Yar’s reformatory for the poor is established by the Star Church. There are hundreds of children in the courtyard, which can bring in more than 100 pounds (1 star ≈ 2.5 Aegis ≈ 0.8 pounds) of income per year. With the occasional donations from the children of the poor, the poor reformatory can barely support so many people.Even so, if any children were seriously ill or had birth defects, Arista could not save them.
Since the Star Church seldom establishes effective governance in the local area, such charitable organizations always seem to be unable to make ends meet. If they have to say that they can bring any benefits, it is that their reputation is always exceptionally good, and their sphere of influence is the same as that of the Explorers' Guild. , covering almost every corner of the known world.
And sometimes, there will be such absurd scenes - the same organization established for the deep space sages, the Explorers' Guild burned down the homes of the indigenous people, and the Star Church followed to condemn and protest. to a part of the supervisory role.
However, kindness is not necessarily a good thing in the dark world. Due to the fact that there are too many strongholds of the Star Church, in remote areas, vicious incidents of looting, trafficking, and killing of credulous church members occur every year.In addition, in the name of charity, there are also a lot of things about eating money and collecting people's wealth. The investigation team and violent agencies of the Star Church are always exhausted on these issues.But if we put aside those local incidents that continue to happen, on the whole, the strength of the Church of the Stars and the Explorers' Guild have maintained a synchronous expansion.
What makes Cloris wonder is that even if there are vicious incidents, it is often in a remote area with only one or two churches and a lack of deacons. In the ancient spirit court, under the nose of the Church of the Stars, is there really someone who dares to kidnap Sister Stars? no?
In a place with a wide view, as long as you look up and look into the distance, you can see three giant islands circling the Sea of Floating Stars, which are the three wonders of the Star Church.
There are many desperadoes in the lower realm, but it is not such a desperado method.No matter how evil the gangsters in Paradise are, they should know who they can offend and who they cannot.
Cloris asked: "Do you think your partner might have been kidnapped by the villains, so they won't let you in to investigate?"
Sister Xingchen nodded: "Yeah!"
"The gangsters here have no reason to kidnap Sister Xingchen," Naina reminded in a low voice. The nun was asked to go in to investigate, mostly because of other shady business."
Cloris asked Sister Star, "How long has your partner been missing?"
"If she had only gone to the clinic, she would have been back in an hour," the nun said anxiously, "but it has been five hours! We started looking for her at two o'clock in the afternoon... Someone has already notified the church, but , Really waiting for the stars to send an investigation team to search, at least until tomorrow, I am very worried..."
After pondering for a moment, Cloris agreed: "I can help you, but I don't guarantee that I can find her."
The reason why the girl made such a decision was because she had a predestined relationship with the Star Church, and her goodwill towards the Church made her willing to do what she could.Secondly, since we want to play the role of a philanthropist, we have to do a full set of acting, which can be regarded as adding some good reputation to the new "common people" epidemic doctors.At the same time, if the missing nun is really in danger, the longer the delay, the less likely it is to rescue her.
"Thank you, thank you Your Excellency!" Sister Xingchen held Cloris's silk gloves tightly, and finally the pear blossoms were raining.
"What should we do?" Cloris pulled Naina aside and asked. In the paradise, elves are the bosses.
Among other things, Naina has dealt with local gangsters so many times, and she may have personally eliminated one or two groups, so she is absolutely familiar with the local social ecology.
Moreover, the Lien Mountains are full of twists and turns, and there are countless villages hidden in the potholes. Even locals may not be able to get out by themselves.
"It's best to open up the relationship with the local gangsters first," Cloris didn't expect Naina to make such a suggestion first, the elf said, "They often hold absolute control over an area, and the shopkeepers and workers bow to them On the ear, everyone can wear their eyeliner."
"I thought you hated them."
"Of course I hate it!" Naina clenched her fists and said helplessly, "But Vilumeka said that some people can also be used as objects of cooperation for the time being, compared to selling illegal drugs, forcing girls into prostitution, lending usury, and cutting people into pieces For the bastard whose meat was dumped into the sewer, the guy who collects protection money is not so bad." After that, Naina emphasized, "I'm not speaking for them, but... I once sent a gang leader to the hospital, Not only did those bastards not restrain themselves, but they became even more chaotic because the dragons had no leader, and many people died... Cloris, did I do something wrong?"
"The right and wrong of something should be judged by yourself, isn't it? There is always a price to pay for change. If you will be coerced by villains because of ordinary people, then nothing will change in the end." After comforting the elf, Cloris , and asked instead, "Are there any local snakes in this area that can cooperate?"
Naina said: "Queer-eyed Muro and Cookie Man Alpers, Muro is less evil, but he is a mixed-race native, very unfriendly to Asians and white races, as for Alpers... the usury The goblin is one of the most treacherous bullies in Paradise, controlling Cypress Leaf City to the west, and everyone in this market pays taxes to him."
Cloris nodded.It's okay to be treacherous, treacherous goblins are easier to deal with than stupid natives.
Walking one kilometer from the market to the west of the street, across the river with white foam, is the Baiye City Naina said, with a registered population of more than [-], including migrant workers and black households wandering in the sewer, the total population There could be [-] to [-], and everyone has to live with the breath of the towering building in the mountain.
The buildings here were painted white and looked chaotic and orderly, neater than other places.Near the foot of the mountain, the 33-story Alpers Building is particularly abrupt, and it can be regarded as a landmark building in the entire park.
Naina asked: "Alpers usually lives on the top floor of the building and takes care of the overall situation. Shall we just break in?"
According to the elves, she seems to have done such things a lot.
It is indeed easy for Naina who can shuttle through the rift, but now, Cloris can't let her reveal her identity.
"Is the casino on the first floor?" Cloris pointed to the billboard in front of her.
"Casinos, restaurants, indoor stadiums, gun clubs...the main customers are shopkeepers and other gang members who are doing business nearby," Naina said one by one, "In order to prevent being assassinated, Alpers lived there from morning till night. "
The three of them and a few children who followed came to the door of the building. Naina pointed to the machine installed on the door frame: "That can detect mysterious items and spiritual symbols, but it's useless to me."
The spirit pulse symbol of the elves [Suoyue] has certain hidden characteristics.
Cloris shifted her gaze to Sister Star: "You bring the nun..."
The latter hurriedly said, "Dorula, just call me Doroula."
"Take Doroula and the children to look around and find out about the situation," Cloris marked Naina with psychic matter, and she said, "Don't leave five kilometers away, when I come out, I will Notify you directly."
The girl entered the building alone, but the prosthetic security guards stopped her: "Check!"
Under the scanning of the instrument, Cloris felt that the radiation of the source force was touching her, but when it penetrated into the touch of the void, it was tightly contained and could no longer send out any feedback.
Cloris pointed to the unresponsive instrument: "Are you sure this thing works?"
The security guard asked, "What are you here for?"
The girl asked back: "Why, do you still have the habit of rejecting guests?"
The security captain stared at the beaked man in front of him, unable to see anything with his prosthetic eyes, he pouted sullenly, motioned for the girl to go in, and at the same time asked his subordinates: "Keep an eye on that guy, if he's here to make trouble, interrupt him!" Throw the leg out! Also, don't let the blood sweep away the guest's interest!"
The casino was filled with smoke, and the nouveau riche-like decoration gave the lobby a vulgar atmosphere of worshiping money. There were almost no female customers here. The women you saw were either winking dealers or waiters who brought tea and water.
Cloris entered the bathroom, leaning against the wall, sinking part of her consciousness into a dream.
In the half month since Hong Ye came back, the girl hadn't visited once.Last time Vivian said that she spent more than 100 days in the dream world. If her emotions were still so active, this period of time might be another hundred days of loneliness.
The power to create fantasy dreams comes from the fantasy world, and Cloris dare not say that she has absolute creator authority. If Veronica enters this place, she can usurp power in minutes.The same is true for planners. If she doesn't kill this woman's violent temper, Cloris dare not continue to stroke her beard. God knows if she will suddenly explode and come back through death.
"Kill the little bitch...kill the little bitch...kill the little bitch..."
As soon as she stood at the door of the water prison, Cloris heard whispered curses from inside.
The torches on the wall became dimmer, and the girl could only vaguely see a few torn puppets that resembled hers and collapsed into dream bubbles that no longer had any characteristics.
"Kill the little slut...kill the little slut..." The planner shivered from the cold, choking from time to time, "The little slut...the slut...I won't lose...I won't admit defeat..."
Cloris scratched her head, why hadn't seen her for more than half a month, her life was more bleak than last time?
"Squeak!" The rusty iron door was pushed open.
"Hey, isn't this Vivienne? I haven't seen you for half a month, why did you become like this?" Cloris walked in arrogantly. She pouted her mouth and found that the cell was too dark, so she slapped her. He snapped his fingers and lit the torch again, "Why isn't the light on?"
The planner ignored her, still curled up in the corner and whispering.
"Hey," Cloris noticed that the state of planning was a bit weird, she cautiously approached, and deliberately showed a sinister smile, "Did you miss me, Master, during this time—"
"I'll fight with you!!" Unexpectedly, the planner suddenly turned around, and she threw herself on Cloris, biting the girl's shoulder with her shining teeth, scratching with her nails and kicking with her feet.
"Humph."
The Touch of the Void shook violently, planning to smash into the wet and slippery wall between the bricks with an irresistible force, she got up and tried to pounce again, but Cloris stepped back a few steps, tied by the chain around her neck The planning of her limbs and limbs can only bared her teeth crazily, like a wild dog in embarrassment, the tip of her nose almost touched the girl's face, but it was still a hair's breadth away.
"Kill you, kill you, kill you!" This was the only thought in the planner's mind, but she was too weak, even if the teeth containing the power of the galaxy bit Cloris, it did not cause any harm to the girl.
Why are you so drawn?
Cloris patted her shoulder, repairing the tooth marks.
"Does my obedient slave need to be taught a lesson again?" Cloris narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Lessons? Haven't you tortured me enough for these three years? Do you know how I have lived these three years? I kept counting the seconds, and I kept counting the seconds. If I still have feelings for you in the first hundred days Looking forward, then now, I just want you to die, I want you to die!" The planner was furious, and the black and white striped prison skirt that Cloris gave her was also messy.
"Three years?" Cloris clicked her tongue, "Do you hate me so much?"
"Hate you! Why don't you hate!" The planner screamed, "You don't know the dreamland channel that you supply the dreamland fragments with!"
Dreamland channel?
Cloris hurriedly went to check, and found that the crack was indeed larger than the one she had built before, and the power of the dream was faintly flowing out.
Dreams rely on the dreamland, and there is an unstable turbulent flow between them. Dreamwalkers can build channels to grab insignificant dream fragments and wish power from the turbulent flow.
Therefore, according to the previous agreement, Cloris "rewarded" to plan a stable supply of wish power, so that she could make food and supplement some of her own consumption.
The girl thought that planning would be stronger than before after this period of time, but unexpectedly, she became even weaker!And almost crazy!
"what happened?"
"Hehe, do you still want to pretend to be stupid and continue to humiliate me?" Planning sneered, with hatred and loathing in his eyes.
"If you don't explain clearly, I will leave first." Cloris threatened.
"I'll say everything myself, master, master, master!" she yelled frantically, but there was no sign of subordination. "You're satisfied, huh? Detain me with the long hours brought by the passage of the dreamland, and plunder the cells I don't even dare to light the torch too brightly!" She tried to take another bite, but unfortunately her teeth barely brushed against the girl's nose, she struggled and wept angrily in a hoarse ending, "Bitch, I want to belong to you with you! Why don't you kill me—"
Cloris was silent. She found that the dreamland channel would indeed change the flow of time, but the overflow of dreamland power was by no means her problem.Moreover, the flow of time in the dreamland channel is beyond her control. The effect may be that the days are like years, or the years are like days. If it is the latter, wouldn't this woman be very happy?
The girl said in a deep voice: "You want to escape from prison, but after tearing up the big crack, it caused an overflow of power."
"Three years! Three years! Three years! How could I not want to escape!" The planner's eyes were red, "I will never stop with you!"
Cloris sighed: "I originally thought that being imprisoned for more than half a month would make you more obedient, and this time I thought about letting you go out to get some fresh air, but since I'm going to die forever, I won't come again... She turned to leave, and said quietly, "The next time we meet again, I will clean up your withered remains."
go out?Breathable?
The rationality of planning to get out of control came back immediately, and his eyes were not as red as before.After she became a teacher of Changjia, her journey went smoothly, and her short life of more than twenty years was no different than that kind of old monster who lived for hundreds of thousands of years. She really couldn't imagine what kind of torture another three years would bring.
To compromise.
she thought sadly.
Compromise is the only way to find opportunities for revenge.
If she died here in vain and let this little slut live freely in the world, she would not be reconciled!
So, seeing that the girl was about to leave, the planner immediately called out to her: "Stop, little bitch!"
"Huh?" Cloris squinted coldly.
"Master... people." The planner gritted his teeth and lowered his head, "How can I... see the outside world again?"
