Chapter 17: Dai Lisa

Cook, who was still comparing the information in the hotel room, couldn't help but turn his head after hearing the sound of the door opening, smiled at Hailando, and said, "Sister Lan, hard work." ”
"Huh?" But in the next second, the little girl standing behind Hylando suddenly caught Cook's attention.
Sister Lan went out this time, why did she bring back a child? Cook couldn't help but wonder secretly.
The little girl also raised her head slightly, and when she saw Cook's slightly puzzled eyes, her empty eyes finally turned slightly, and then, as if trying her best to get out of Hylando's side, the little girl suddenly threw herself into Cook's arms, hugged Cook tightly, and then glanced at Hylando with a very frightened look.
Eh??Did I ever be so popular with children before???
But seeing that the little girl had been holding him tightly, as if thinking of something, Cook stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the little girl's head.
Then, Cook looked up at Highlander and asked, "Sister Lan, where did this child come from?"
Hylando retracted her somewhat envious gaze, glanced away, and said, "It was found in that D3 alley, and her parents were involved in that cannibal case, leaving her alone. ”
"Yes, this little girl is also very difficult. Cook lowered his head and looked at the little girl who had buried her whole face in her chest, and felt a suffocating feeling of pain in her heart.
"Forget it, I'll talk about this kid in the evening, how is your work? As if she didn't want to dwell too much on the subject, Highlandoy asked.
Cook nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the huge map next to him, and said, "The numbers have been processed, and I have already chosen the venue for Mr. John's resignation speech, and the rest is to review it a few more times." ”
"Is it okay? There are thousands of serial numbers, could there be something wrong?"
Cook shook his head and said, "Probably not, the seat arrangement of the Dragon Circus is extremely simple and regular, as long as you can be patient and check it a few more times, it should not go wrong." ”
After all, there are thousands of copies, and that guy Jerred won't make himself unhappy, and the simpler the way to mark the seeds, the better.
Thinking about this, Cook couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Sister Lan for being able to get the entire audience list through the Dragon Circus's backstage recorder. Thanks to this, he was able to choreograph so smoothly, although it took a lot of time.
"And how many more days are you going to have?" asked Hylando, again.
Cook thought slightly, and after a while, he said a little confused: "It's probably going to be more than twenty days." ”
"Twenty days...... I said, little Cook, isn't this a little too long?" muttered Hylando, holding her forehead with a headache.
Twenty days, that's nearly a month, enough for how many speeches Jared has held!
Cook smiled slightly and said, "Sister Lan, don't worry too much, there shouldn't be much of a problem in the past twenty days." ”
Hilando, puzzled, looked at Cook with some confusion.
"After I actually started numbering, I realized that this is a very large project, to say that Jared can completely remember these thousands of people, I absolutely can't believe it, so, according to my guess, Jared must have such a map in his hand, every time he wants to start a speech, he will spend a lot of time to remember the puppet serial number of that area, and wait until he remembers it, and then he will actually start speaking. ”
Under Cook's explanation, Hylando also seemed to have something in common, and whispered, "So, he can't give speeches all the time?"
Cook nodded slightly. During his stay in the hospital, Jared had a lot of time to give speeches, but only twice, which is enough to say a lot.
He didn't believe that Jared would not understand the truth that late will change, so if that is the case, why is it still progressing so slowly?
On the one hand, it may be that he himself is also bound by something, and secondly, he is waiting for an excellent opportunity to break through in one fell swoop!
Cook's gaze turned to the lower right corner of the map, which represented the southeastern part of the city, and where Jared was likely to have been aiming at it in the first place.
"But isn't Jared no longer committing to the puppet, and wasting his time on this?"
"He's going to do it, whether it's to create a false impression or just in case, he's going to do it. Cook replied.
Jared is a very rational and cautious person, and the pursuit that day was also subtly led by him, even if his sudden attack caught Jared off guard, he immediately used the mall to successfully delay time, until the arrival of the three puppets of the Adeptus.
If there is anything unusual about it, it is the extreme hatred of John, who at that time seemed to be burned with his mind, and the whole person was like a madman.
And this is also a point that Cook can take advantage of!
After that, as if he remembered something, Cook said to Highland: "By the way, Sister Lan, help me pay attention to this area, if Jared will hold a speech here, be sure to send someone to participate in it, and make as much trouble as possible." ”
Highlando's eyes narrowed slightly as she followed Cook's gaze, how could she not be familiar with this area, after all, D3 Alley was very close to there.
"I see, this area does require a lot of attention. Highlando's also said very solemnly, "I'll contact John now and ask him to arrange manpower." ”
With that, Hylando had already walked out the door and made a call in the hallway of the hotel.
It's a good thing that Mr. John didn't publicize Jared's matter, otherwise there might be someone like the previous executive who couldn't restrain himself from rushing forward recklessly. Cook thought to himself in the room, and then laughed at himself, am I qualified to speak of others?
Shaking his head, Cook quickly sorted out his troubled thoughts, looked down at the little girl who was still hiding in his arms, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What should I do, I don't have any experience with children......
The little girl seemed to have sensed that Highlando's departure from the room, and twisted her body slightly before she raised her head, just in time for Cook's somewhat flustered gaze.
The little girl looked to be about 12 years old, and her whole face looked like a red apple, and she looked very cute.
Cook couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her little face a few times, seeing that the little girl didn't react to this, Cook couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Little sister, what's your name?" In order to resolve the embarrassment in his heart, Cook still asked weakly.
The little girl tilted her head slightly, looked at Cook with some puzzlement, but still replied softly, "Dai Lisa." ”
"Mm-hmm, Dai Lisa, is that......? Can you get off me first?" Cook nodded slightly, grinning as hard as he could, and smiled softly.
Hearing this, the little girl immediately pursed her lips and buried her head in Cook's arms, making Cook feel a headache.
"The ......," Cook asked in a tentative whisper.
"Don't!" but the little girl's violent reaction scared Cook so hard that he swore he had never been so helpless even when he was alone with the three ability golems.
After a long time, Cook sighed slightly, hugged the little girl, and said helplessly: "Your brother will be very embarrassed." ”
Dai Lisa, who was picked up by Cook, did not struggle as desperately as she did in Hylando's arms, but stretched out her little hand very cooperatively, wrapped around Cook's neck, and her little head was quietly lying on Cook's shoulder.
"And how old are you, Lisa?" asked Cook in a soft voice again.
"14 years old. The little girl replied softly.
However, Cook almost didn't stand still, and he was really frightened for a while.
What? 14 years old? That's only two years younger than me?
Looking at Dai Lisa's petite body, Cook felt that his brain couldn't function anymore, just such a soft and cute little Lori, you told me she was 14 years old?
Rubbing away the sweat from his forehead with some trembling, Cook asked weakly, "Then can you tell my brother why you are so afraid of that big sister?"
"Because they're alike, they're all bad people. Dai Lisa said angrily.
Cook didn't know why, like who was like, how could they be all bad people?
"Then aren't you afraid of my brother?" said Cook, stroking Lisa's hair lightly.
Dai Lisha was slightly silent, twisted her body, grabbed Cook's back nervously with her little hands, and whispered: "Brother is no problem, because brother is not like those people at all." ”
Feeling Dai Lisha's uneasiness, Cook caressed Dai Lisha's back, but his face was full of helplessness, what kind of reason is this?
But the people in Dai Lisha's mouth aroused Cook's full interest, and he couldn't help asking: "Dai Lisha, who are the bad people you are talking about?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it very clearly, but it was that bad woman with several terrible monsters who ate her mom and dad and a lot of neighbors. ”
Hearing this, how could Cook not know that the bad guy Dai Lisa said was the other person behind the scenes they had been looking for.
Gently patting Dai Lisa's back, Cook said very gently: "That brother promises you, he will definitely catch the bad guys, will you believe my brother?"
Dai Lisa just nodded slightly, and then a small sob.
Cook couldn't help but sigh with sadness, that day of purgatory on earth, he had already had a great impact just by seeing the wreckage, not to mention this weak girl who might have witnessed the whole scene.
However, is it similar to Sister Lan...... Since Dai Lisha said that she didn't see it very clearly, it wasn't a similarity in appearance, but a similarity in figure?
"That's good......" Just as Cook was thinking, there was a strange murmur outside the door, but he saw Hylando staring at Cook through the crack in the door, with eyes full of resentment and envy.
It's just scared to death, Sister Lan!!
