"Hello, Mr. Mayor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. ”

Abigail looked at the man in his early thirties, tall, dressed in a delicate light black suit, with well-defined features and angular features. He looks handsome and dashing on the outside, and he is uninhibited, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him.

"You are?"

"I'm Arin. Brian. It's an honor to meet you! ”

"Oh! It's you! Please come in..."

Brian walked into the living room of Abigail's house and looked around slightly: "Mr. Mayor, you live a simple life, and it is not fair that you have served Barstow for so long and still live in such a small house!" ”

Abigail motioned for Brian to sit down, and said with a kind face: "I'm an old man, why do you pay so much attention?" I'm doing well now, thank you for your concern. ”

Brian sat down on the sofa, reached out and took out a delicate cigar box from his arms, opened the box, and there were five exquisitely made cigars neatly placed inside: "Mr. Mayor, they say this is a top Black & Decker Christie's reserve cigar, I don't know if it's true or not, I heard that you are the most authoritative cigar expert in Barstow, can you help me try it?" ”

Abigail looked at Brian, smiled slightly, reached out and pulled out one, and took it in his hand to examine it carefully. Brian then took out another cigar cutter and handed it to Abigail.

Abigail took the cigar cutter and carefully cut off about an eighth of an inch. After the difficulty, he took the delicate matchbox handed over by Brian, first rotated the cigarette foot at a 45-degree angle through the flame for a while, and lit it through the flame while holding the cigar, and waited until the cigarette foot had become charred and shiny, and after a few puffs, he saw that the cigar had burned very evenly, and he was beautiful and refreshing.

Abigail took a gentle puff of his cigar and looked pleasant: "It's been a long time since I've smoked such a top-notch cigar, thank you Brian." ”

Brian smiled lightly: "I should thank you, since you said so, they must be genuine, I am relieved!" ”

Abigail smiled and shook his head: "Say it! What's the matter with me, this old man? ”

Brian said, "Sir, you know, the city council is running soon. After careful consideration, I decided to run for the City Council of Barstow. I'm here to ask you for advice today! ”

Abigail asked curiously, "Are you sure you're not kidding?" Is it a run for Barstow City Councilor? Not a Los Angeles City Councilor? ”

"Sir, you're laughing! I'm running for Barstow City Council. ”

Abigail glanced at Brian, took a puff on his cigar, and exhaled his cigarette with an expression of enjoyment: "I'm weird! Based on your abilities and your family's abilities, it's not impossible to run for Los Angeles City Council, so why Barstow? You grew up in Barstow and sometimes live in Barstow, but it's just a small place, a country place. ”

Brian thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I'm optimistic about Barsto." I can feel that it will be the future of America! It will soon be the most amazing and sacred land in the United States! ”

Abigail stared at Brian with a serious expression, and Brian looked at Abigail without showing weakness. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Abigail asked in a stern tone, "You really figured it out?" Do you know the consequences? You can't afford to lose this bet! ”

Brian replied firmly and forcefully: "I have decided, and my family will fully support me!"

Abigail looked down at the cigar in his hand, and then slowly raised his head: "You should know that the insatiable "vampires" are expected to swarm soon, I admire your vision and courage, I will try to help you." ”

Brian said excitedly, "Sir, thank you, thank you so much!" I won't let you down! I promise! ”

Abigail's expression returned to normal and nodded: "I believe in your determination, and I believe in your strength." But... It's not enough! You need allies, you need a lot of allies! ”

Brian also nodded and said, "I know this very well, as long as I can get your support, the follow-up plan will start immediately." I am confident that there will be three people on the city council. ”

"I'm sure you have what it takes. Are you so sure that the god of the earth has something to do with delivering letters? ”

"I have carefully studied and investigated the matter of the delivery of letters, and it is certain that it is true. Both miracles also happened after they had written a letter to God. ”

"Although their base camp is in Europe, the power of the United States is not easily shaken! Are you sure you want to go against that group of fanatical believers? ”

Brian smiled lightly: "It's time to reshuffle the cards, what I saw in Barstow is the truth, not just words!" “

Abigail nodded: "You should have inquired very clearly about the affairs of the management group, right?" ”

Brian didn't speak, but nodded.

"I'll ask the Divine Envoy, but it's not up to me to decide whether I see you or not! What you need to do now is try to block the news, create some fake news to spread outside, and try to buy yourself time. I don't know when the oracle will meet you, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a month..."

"I have already made arrangements, and the doctors and nurses in the hospital and the parties concerned will not publicly reply to the questions about the two miracles for the time being. Ask privately and they know how to answer. This arrangement should not displease God! Although my intentions are for myself, I am also well-intentioned. The appearance of the name of the god of the earth has touched their scales. If it's just a miracle, they won't take it seriously. If they find out that it is a real miracle, then the matter is serious. I've arranged for me to get the news as soon as they send investigators, and I'll try to get the time. ”

"There are some things I need to remind you that if things go smoothly, with the generosity of God's will, your family will reap the benefits of a single letter. But remember, your status is not equal, since he can let people live at will, he can also let people die at will. And dead ... It's not a punishment, and the punishment that awaits you later is estimated to be more severe. ”

"You can rest assured that we're not all here for the money. Money and family honor, we choose the latter. ”

"Good." Abigail didn't speak, sitting quietly on the couch smoking his cigar.

Brian also took his own words of interest and left.

After Abigail sent Brian out, he returned to the living room and sat down, and looked at the cigar on the coffee table that Brian had deliberately pulled down, and he sneered: "The Twelve Apostles... Is it really that attractive? Will blood-sucking capitalists change their nature? ”

Zhang Hanming returned to the store, took a shower and came to the bedroom, and saw that the fat man had slept like a dead pig. He waved his hand and conjured up the fifty letters that Liu Kuan had just handed over to him, thought about it, and finally decided not to read them for the time being, carefully put away the letters, lay down on the sofa, and went to sleep first.

In the middle of the night in spring, the moonlight is hazy, like a layer of mist, scattered on the earth, and the slight cold wind blows on the body to make people feel a sense of desolation. The wind gently swept through the plants, and there was a rustling sound. The circular pool in the middle of the park resembles a mirror, allowing the semi-circular moon to be reflected in the pool.

An old woman, led by a blind boy with a plastic bag in his hand, struggled to walk through the edge of the pool. It brings a touch of life to the quiet park in the middle of the night. The old woman led the boy along the stone path that had just been paved for a short time, in the direction of the Land Temple.

Liu Kuan and Liang Dazhui looked at the two Huaxia people not far away, and asked Liang Dazhui beside them, "Brother, it's so late." What are they doing here? ”

"How do I know!"

"At this time before, it's not that no one came, but they were all some homeless people, and the ghosts who arranged our vigil were scared away, and today it was the Huaxia people who came, and they didn't dare to make their own decisions before they went to find me."

"Hmm... The vigil was well done. Follow up and take a look, the child is carrying an incense candle in his hand, probably to worship the land. ”

"Good....! Brother, you said that those foreign ghosts are quite acquainted! Now we all know that Huaxia people and ghosts are superior! I'm going to do a reward! ”

Liang Dazhui nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Hmm.... Whatever you want. There are some things that you have to make them habit, and the habit becomes natural. ”

The old woman and the little boy slowly approached the Land Temple, and thousands of ghosts in the vicinity floated over one after another, looking at these two uninvited guests curiously, and the scene was very spectacular.

Layers of ghosts floating in the air automatically set aside a path leading to the Land Temple, some pointing and some talking to each other. The little boy suddenly tightened his clothes, probably because he felt that the more he walked, the colder it became!

Liu Kuan reacted instantly, and opened his throat and shouted: "Hey.... What's there to see? Haven't you seen anyone? Keep me away, don't let me see you, and come back when they're done. ”

The old woman stopped two steps away from the Land Temple, and with a smile on her wrinkled face, she said to the little boy beside her, "Xiao Ming... We're here! ”

The little boy stopped and asked in a childish voice, "Grandma... What is the Land Temple like? What does the land father-in-law look like? ”

The old woman patted the boy on the back of the head and said, "O Earth Temple... The Land Temple is only as tall as you, with a roof, walls on three sides, and a gate, and a statue of the Land Lord is placed inside. Because ah... The land lord is a good fairy, they are not like people and other immortals, they have to live in a big house, a beautiful house, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, the land lord is very satisfied. The land is open .... He was an old man, with a long beard, a lumpy back, a cane, and a very kind look, and whoever saw him felt as if he were his own relative. ”
