As she racked her brains to think of how to repay her, Mei Weisi was slightly absent-minded.

The reporters ran fast, and the second wave arrived at the scene were field reporters from major newspapers, but only Chloe was allowed to come in for interviews.

"I've found that you always make big news."

Chloe is wearing a black velvet long sleeve, white lace doll collar and white fingers on her hips, making her look very temperamental, with well-proportioned limbs and a good face, just like a ballet dancer.

"Isn't that your favourite?"

"Hmph, it seems that I have won the bet. I was favored by the judge for being a hero to save the beauty, and I will be hired as my servant. You will definitely become a big shot in the future. Don't forget me, a little lackey... in case you fall into poverty... Now, I won't dislike you, come to my newspaper office to write memoirs, and I'll give you a price of 1 pound per thousand words." Chloe said with her face up.

Amber instinctively felt disgusted with the values ​​of the adult world, stared at Ashley, and said angrily:

"Don't associate with such a snobbish guy!"

Moreover, her intuition told her that the reporter loli in front of her had unreasonable thoughts about Ashley, and the tacit understanding between the two made her very vigilant.

"We are partners."

Ashley ignored her and reached out to give Chloe a high-five. The two had their own set of high-five movements. Their dexterous fingers pressed or hooked together, like a dance. Amber narrowed her eyes sullenly.

Then, the two huddled together and whispered, Ashley told Chloe to report selectively to avoid letting others know of the existence of "Angel Hickey", and completely ignored Amber on the side.

"You can't do this! You are my... puppy." Amber blushed again at the second half of the sentence.

"Okay, I know you're a bitch. You're fragile and useless. Every time Ashley has to squeeze hard to protect you, twitter." Chloe covered her lips with her beautiful fingers and issued an order The man gave an annoyed smirk, his eyes bent into crescents.

"That's right." Ashley echoed in a strange tone.

As soon as the teacher left, Amber was no match for the duo of she-kids at all, but she didn't want to give up her position, and let the two guys work shamelessly together. sulking.

-

Ashley wanted to treat the curator's sister as soon as possible, but the main reason was that it was inconvenient, sleeping with this head on his chest, maybe ghosts would crush the bed.

Without further ado, we went to the Scripps family's manor at Danzhu Reservoir overnight.

Danzhu Reservoir is located [-] kilometers outside the city. It is a large-scale water conservancy facility, and the southeast big town 'Safar' is located nearby.

This is the most important source of clean water for the residents of Fountain City, and about 60% of daily water is obtained from here.

It got its name because the rising sun reflected the morning light, but now it is evening, and there is no spectacle of the clouds reflecting on the water surface, but the screeching magic crow blends into the night and flies across the sky at high speed.

Soon, Ashley saw antique buildings standing on the north bank of the reservoir.

The bell tower and minaret hidden in the twilight are mysterious and beautiful, and the fountain sculpture covered with a layer of rain is exquisite, and the bright red glass windows dotted with it reflect cold light, like a ruby ​​card inlaid on a crown.

Compared with the strong historical background and old money atmosphere, what surprised Ashley even more was that the family actually diverted an artificial river from the reservoir, and the power behind it is self-evident.

The artificial river connects several important buildings in the manor, twists and turns, and finally flows into an artificial lake.

Overlooking from a high altitude, the colorful recreational facilities and elegant and exquisite water villas are connected by promenades, surrounded by a pure and bright lake, like a string of beads.

Ashley felt bad, tsk tsk, look at other people's family, famous and respected, living in a big mansion, then look at his own family, rats crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating, the old nest is a dilapidated building located in a cold and damp swamp , was also destroyed.

The big crow landed at the main gate of the manor.

Standing in the sentry box was a strong guard in uniform, with a hideous scar slanting across his cheek and lips, looking very unfriendly.

Ashley explained the purpose of his visit, and the man stared at the strange double-headed loli vigilantly while dialing the internal number.

"Sorry, Miss Yinsu Helin is not at the manor, please go back."

The trained polite words were spoken through that ferocious face, which felt extremely weird, like a monster clumsily imitating human speech.

It seems that the little plague doctor does not have a high status in the family, Ashley immediately realized this, if she were a little princess with many stars, the three of them plus a head would have been invited into the warm concierge to serve refreshments entertained.

"Reply again, saying that two disciples of the presiding judge are here to visit."

The guard hesitated for a moment, exchanged a few words on the phone, and then showed a panicked expression, walked quickly to the iron gate and opened it, welcoming the lolis in.

Under the guidance of the butler, Ashley walked up a gentle zigzag slope, turning his gaze to observe the Gothic-style buildings in the manor.

Layered and delicate eaves and mountain flowers, scrolls and round petals that unfold symmetrically along the Latin cross pattern, lifelike plaster roses and pendant flowers, regular and beautiful floral tiles and iron railings... every tiny detail reveals An atmosphere of luxury and art.

It's just that those wine-red glass windows and red crystal decorations are like solidified blood, with a faint evil atmosphere in the solemnity, and the blood-colored aurora streamer turns lightly in the night sky above the building, mysterious and treacherous.

The main building is cathedral-style, consisting of two towering Gothic spiers and a palace in the middle.

The façade of the palace is triangular upwards, and the detailed load-bearing columns and gabled walls echo it with a bony angular stacked structure, and all the sharp points gather upward along the straight upward slender windows.Standing under it and staring upwards, it seems that a mysterious and mournful emotion flows from the soul and rises to the sky along the outer wall of the building.

There is a long atrium garden at the entrance of the palace. The fountain is not turned on. In the hazy light and shadow, the twelve animal-shaped sculptures are divided into two groups, appearing peaceful and solemn.

At this time, in front of the window on the second floor, two masked people were talking.

The mask is a pure white expressionless human face, but behind the mask are two ferocious animal heads.

One head has two threaded horns that provoke a strange arc, and the eyes on the mask are orange-red horizontal pupils.

The other head was covered with crow feathers, and the eyes were black and without pupils.

The two wore robes with similar styles, which were cut and spliced ​​from long strips of white silk with complicated patterns. The silver collar and shawl were inlaid with oval gemstones that looked like solidified blood, but there were differences in the details, such as the collar of the collar. Styles and patterns.

"Mr. Crow, among the twelve branches, the iteration of our two families has come to an end. If this generation cannot produce a pure 'container', [Blood King] will not bestow the 'Original Blood'. The pilgrimage has been cut off, and we And there is no way to break through the 'turbid' mantle of death..." the Sorcerer whispered.

"But she is not willing to obey the arrangement of the family. We are convincing her to face up to herself and accept her fate. This is what every Scripps family needs to face."

"Compared to persuasion, she should understand that the consequences of disobedience are unbearable."

"Let's stop here, Mr. Yang, a few little guests are here..."

Outside the window, three lolis have already walked to the atrium garden on the first floor platform.

Although it is a garden, the flowers and trees are just decorations. On both sides of the corridor covered with black and white checkerboard floors, there are twelve gypsum animal sculptures, and the eye sockets are inlaid with bright rubies of different shapes.

Ashley looked at it curiously, could it be the Chinese zodiac?But soon she was disappointed, the animal sculptures were all grotesque, and she couldn't even recognize what kind of animal it was.

But she has a strong observation ability, and found that each animal sculpture has a characteristic, such as horns, feathers, scales, shells, etc., a total of twelve types.

First

Chapter 61: You Can Party

"Just call me Mr. Crow, my friends."

A gentle and old voice came from under the mask.

However, his movements are quick and powerful, and his fur is soft and shiny, not like an old man at all.

"Mr. Crow, nice to meet you."

Ashley looked around while answering. Unlike what he imagined, the hall was not spacious, and there was a load-bearing column within a few steps, which blocked the line of sight and the extension of the space.

The light is dim, and the monster carvings on the upper part of the pillars are faintly visible, filled with a mysterious and gloomy charm. The head of the beast is inlaid with ruby ​​eyes, as if watching the visitors from different angles.

In the middle is a basilica-style rectangular passageway covered with dark, thick and luxurious carpets, leading from the door to the space formed by the four bundled columns at the end.

This is a reception room composed of antique sofas, rococo black velvet footstools, mahogany coffee table, and a gilded marble fireplace decorated with reliefs. combustion.

Amber and Chloe were overwhelmed by the sense of ritual brought about by the luxurious and noble environment, and looked very restrained.

Even Ashley didn't carelessly, but seriously asked about the operation.

Mr. Crow was sitting upright, not showing any attitude of doing whatever he wanted because he was at home, nor did he despise the three lolis because of their age.

Ashley had a faint feeling that this was the deadly elegance that had been infiltrated and honed over the years in conspiracy and calculation.

In addition to the bird-like ear holes and the black crow feathers covering the cheeks and head, the black leather gloves on the hands folded on the knees are also suspicious.

Ashley understood that such a person would not have any obvious signs before the moment of action.

Mr. Crow was very talkative, and he agreed to operate on Mei Weisi without any conditions.

"This kind of minor surgery does not need to be visited by the Scripps family, it can be handed over to the medical institutions under our group."

Mr. Crow rang the bell, summoned an attendant, and asked him to arrange for Mavis to be admitted to the hospital.

After quickly dealing with the matter, he asked about Yinsu Helin.

"Are you friends?"

"Of course, the kind of siblings. The first encounter was at the Hongyan Outpost. Yinyin identified the fugitive's biological information, so she was in danger. I rescued her. Later, we went on adventures together and liked each other..."

Ashley told a half-truth and half-false story without blushing.

Although Mr. Crow is scheming, he has never met a guy who can integrate all his emotions into a lie. All the micro-expressions and body language are setting the stage for that fictitious encounter, and they are very bold.

"Beautiful and innocent friendship is enviable."

He nodded slightly, turned his palm over, and as if by magic, a black bronzing invitation card appeared in his palm.

"Since you are a friend of Yinsu Helin, then you are a distinguished guest of the Scripps family. Next month, we will organize a salon among relatives and friends at Muscadey Winery. If you have time, please enjoy it."

Ashley immediately noticed the inconsistency of the other party's logic—at first, the visit in the name of Yinsu Helin's friend was rejected, but he was entertained in the name of the presiding judge's disciple, and was invited to the party. The name is actually 'Yinyin's friend', and she is the only one. Amber, who is also a disciple, is not invited.

The two changes of the other party correspond to the two changes of one's own identity, friend-disciple-confidant.

Ashley's thoughts turned... Old man, you want to plot against me?

"I'll definitely go when I'm free." She reached out to take the invitation.

Next month is Moult, the third month of the year, symbolizing new birth, plant sprouting and the entry into a new era.

-

Mei Weisi's treatment was arranged at the most prestigious hospital in Fountain City - Sinai Medical Center. The Scripps family sent a medical consultant very generously. Although they didn't enjoy the discount, they did their best and the postoperative effect was very good.

Being supported to walk down the large gentle slope at the entrance of the hospital, with a fresh and slightly cold wind blowing head-on, Mei Weisi felt as if the clouds had cleared and the mist had cleared, and she had regained her new life.

"Thank you...Ashley..."

The girl is pure and easy to be moved, and there is a strong desire to repay her kindness in her chest.

"We are partners, don't say thank you, let's work hard together!" Ashley said with a smile.

"No matter what happens, I will support you." Meivis said resolutely.

Although it’s a bit late to say this now, Ashley is already Leticia’s disciple, and power will wash everything away, but the curator girl will talk about it after finishing it. In the most difficult moment, she stood firmly by Ashley’s side Be supportive.

The museum was closed for three days to repair the damaged walls and glass windows. Standing in front of the deformed door frame, Mei Weiss said dumbfoundedly:

"Did I really hit it? It's scary, like a rhino."

"A thirsty rhino is like this, Jie Jie." Chloe laughed.

She's still writing a series of Nightmare at the Museum, and it's a great feeling to be alone with the flow.

Due to the key bet, the newspaper was revived again.

The smashed facade was redecorated, the gas lamps blazed on the light tubes of "The Fountain News", the front of the door was like daylight, and there was an endless stream of advertisers with checkbooks in their briefcases.

-

Ashley and Amber came to the training base. This time, she easily passed the physical test, and her scores were exaggeratedly high, already meeting the standards for combatants.

"Why did you improve so quickly?" Amber asked puzzled.

"Because the teacher gave me a small stove."

"It's a lie again, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

The blue-haired loli admitted it generously, and said with a rascal face:

"Anyway, I'm already a puppy, it's okay to lie a few more times."

"Why do you want to break the jar!"

After Amber shouted, she was stunned for a while, as if realizing something, she stretched out her hand and said tentatively:

"You admit that you are a puppy? Claw!"

Ashley looked away, felt coy for a while, and quietly stretched out his little hand.

Amber opened her mouth to breathe in surprise, and hurriedly held the tender and white little paw, her heart trembled, and she let go of her fingers like an electric shock.

Ashley withdrew his hand, pretending nothing happened, with a sneaky look.

Then, the two tacitly chatted about irrelevant topics.

Physical fitness is strengthened by light points, and it can be achieved overnight, but cultural assessment requires rote memorization.

Especially the history of mankind, no, it should be said that it is the history of mankind's bad luck.
