Deep Sea Embers Chapter 368: A chance encounter, and a reunion
Agatha checked the secret compartment where the Queen's portrait was hidden, and it was indeed as reported by her subordinates—it was a place to secretly commemorate the Frost Queen in private, and there was no trace of supernatural power left.
She looked at what had been searched: plaster casts, commemorative coins, manuals.
Fifty years ago, this would have been worth a noose.
But that period of horror that made everyone tense has passed. Today's Frost authorities have to consider the long-term stability of the city-state and its own image of justice. This kind of innocuous commemorative behavior is usually only a warning, and at most some fines.
And even warnings and fines are things that the magistrate has to consider - secular government orders and laws are not the responsibility of the cathedral.
"This is not something we should ask about," Agatha shook her head, "Sort up this part of the situation, notify the security authorities, and let them take care of the follow-up work. But we have to take these souvenirs back for inspection, just in case There's... something hidden in it."
"Yes."
After arranging some follow-up finishing work on the scene, Agatha stood up from the sofa and let out a light sigh of relief.
There are too many things to deal with, and she can't continue to delay here.
"Remember to follow up the investigation of the sewage treatment center at any time, and monitor the pipeline system in this area." She finally ordered her subordinates, and then walked out of the room.
There is a narrow corridor outside the house. The old stairs stretch forward under the dim light. There are two other families quietly opening the door to watch the movement here. A few pairs of slightly panicked eyes are in the crack of the door. looking out.
Agatha waved her hands to those eyes.
"Go home, pack up your things, and wait for instructions. Temporary evacuation is required here—please rest assured,
We'll fix the problem here as soon as possible, and you'll be able to go home shortly thereafter. "
After saying this, Agatha didn't care about the follow-up reactions of those residents, so she walked down the stairs and walked towards the exit on the first floor.
She didn't use the "Grey Wind" to hurry, even though she likes to do that very much on weekdays—but today her thoughts are very chaotic, with all kinds of disturbing things entangled in her mind, she feels that she needs to sort out her thoughts and walk slowly Helpful for thinking.
At the same time, she also wanted to sense the remaining breath in the entire building, to see if she could observe the remaining "element" pollution in other places.
So thoughtful, she walked along the old stairs to the exit, and came to the open space outside the residential building.
The stale musty smell dissipated all of a sudden, and the fresh and cold air lifted Agatha's spirits, which even gave her a momentary illusion—as if she had come from a dark and damp place. Walked out of the crypt, like coming into the sun.
The crowd gathered outside the residential building had already dissipated, leaving only curious passers-by in twos and threes, pointing at a safe distance, and after Agatha appeared, those passers-by also left quickly.
No, there are still people here.
Agatha frowned. She saw a young woman wearing a veil, long blond hair, and holding a big bag in her arms, still standing in the open space in front of the residential building, looking dazed.
"This place is blocked, please don't stay," Agatha stepped forward, reminding with a slightly serious tone, "Are you a resident here?"
The blond woman wearing a veil seemed to be taken aback, and Ji Ling woke up suddenly. She turned her head to look at Agatha, and pointed to herself suspiciously: "Are you talking to me?"
"Of course, who else is here?" Agatha frowned. For some reason, she always cared about this stranger in front of her. Familiar, as if I saw it not long ago, "Are you a resident here?"
"Ah, no, no," Alice quickly waved her hand and pointed to the distance, "I live over there, it's quite far away—what happened here, I heard someone died ?”
"The guardian is dealing with this matter." Agatha followed
He said, and at the same time, he was a little puzzled—the blonde woman on the other side reacted a bit strangely, didn't she recognize herself as the gatekeeper of the city-state?
Alice didn't notice any changes in the eyes of the woman in black with a bandage on her body in front of her—she just thought the other person's outfit was really interesting.
It is very similar to the captain's current appearance.
But the captain has told you not to judge other people's appearance casually, and don't tell strangers too much about yourself - the former is not polite enough, and the latter is not cautious enough.
Alice can't quite spell these two words yet, but she thinks the captain must be right.
It's time to say goodbye.
So she waved her hand to Agatha, with a happy tone: "Then I'll go first! Thank you for answering my question!"
The blond woman with the veil left just like that, looking beaming, but Agatha looked at the back of the other person leaving, but felt weird in her heart.
What the **** is this guy here for?
She has lived in this city-state for more than 20 years, but she has never seen such a person—there is an inexplicable, simple and happy atmosphere all over her body, and her tone of voice is unsuspecting, There is no haze in the way he smiles.
Agatha frowned, and then suddenly froze, as if she didn't notice something strange just now until the other party left.
"No breathing and no heartbeat...?!"
The young gatekeeper suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction in which the blonde woman was leaving, subconsciously wanted to catch up, but just as she was about to take a step, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly interrupted her her movements.
A guard in black ran over, holding a piece of information in his hand, looking rather anxious.
"What happened?" Agatha frowned, and asked seriously before the other party could speak. At the same time, she couldn't help saying something in her heart—this is already messy enough, don't let it happen again.
"There is an urgent 'express message from Cemetery No. 3,'" the black-clothed guard stood up straight and spoke quickly, "The clues to the mysterious visitor, the original is here."
Agatha's breathing obviously paused, and then she snatched the letter paper from the other party's hand, and after shaking it away twice, her eyes quickly swept between the words.
The young gatekeeper fell silent, and stood there motionless as if frozen, and there was no movement for a long time.
The black-clothed guard looked worriedly at his immediate superior, and after a few seconds couldn't help but say: "...Gatekeeper, this matter..."
Agatha slowly turned her head and looked into the eyes of her subordinates: "If someone suddenly tells you that an existence similar to an ancient **** has descended on the city-state in a physical form, and the way to walk in the world is to go to the Citizen Help Center to rent I bought a two-story house with a terrace... what would your reaction be?"
"...I will find the nearest church for psychological counseling, or consult a more famous psychiatrist." The black-clothed guard said honestly.
"You're right, but it's a pity that I'm already the spokesperson of the highest-level church in the city-state, and psychiatrists can't solve the problem of the ancient gods coming," Agatha sighed, and slowly put away the card Stationery, "everything is important, and the priority of everything must be at the top... alas."
She raised her head and looked at the place mentioned in the intelligence - Oak Street.
It happened to be the direction that the weird blonde woman who had no breathing or heartbeat left just now.
Nina excitedly ran around the whole house, and then got into the kitchen, studying those kitchen utensils that were obviously much better than those in Pulender's home.
Shirley and Agou strolled around the living room and dining room on the first floor, pretending to "inspect" the place, occasionally stopping to comment on the surrounding furnishings.
The two of them have been on the Lost Country for so long, and they are already exhausted.
Ai fell on the dining table not far away, and his whole body was buried in a large pile of French fries--today is the day when he gorged on food.
Duncan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching this scene with a smile on his face—although all his smiles were blocked by thick bandages, standing still
Beside him, Fan Na felt inexplicably... At this moment, Captain Duncan's eyes looked like a kind old father.
Fan Na quickly shook her head, put aside those outrageous associations, and looked at the two girls (and the dog) who were running around the house.
"There is an empty room upstairs for you, did you go to see it just now?"
"Looked at it!" Nina trotted over and nodded repeatedly, "Very good, it's bigger than my room in Prand!"
"This place is really not bad," Shirley also ran over, with a bright smile on her face, "I should have known that you settled down so well in the city-state~IndoMTL.com~I came here two days ago—on a boat It's boring! I have nothing to do every day...
Duncan turned his head slowly: "The homework I leave for you every day is enough for you to write for three hours-why there is nothing to do?"
Shirley suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and instantly shrank her neck.
"You wrote it for her?" Duncan lowered his head slightly again, looking at Agou who was trying to hide himself in the shadows.
A Gou's head was almost retracted into his neck: "I... I practiced a lot for myself, to live up to your hard education..."
Duncan laughed--he laughed, and looked very happy.
"Relax, I brought you here to play, not to criticize you specifically." He waved his hand and looked up at the wall clock on the wall, "Alice should be back later, there is still time before dinner At least one hour, Shirley should go make up the homework, starting from the sixteenth page of the vocabulary book."
Xue Li's mournful cry rang in the ears of Fan Na and Morris after a long absence.
