Chapter 6, the small theater of laughter
"Miss Grace......"
The brunette young man who was pulled by Grace smiled a little embarrassedly and pronounced her name.
"Ah, I haven't seen you for a long time~ I've also read the report of the Warcraft invasion, you guys are quite powerful."
While rubbing Lloyd's shredded hair, Grace let out a hearty laugh.
"Long time no see......"
Such a warm greeting from the other side, out of politeness, Lloyd still said that he had not seen him for a long time - although he did not want to have anything to do with Grace in every sense.
"You say reporting...... That news really wasn't written by Miss Grace? β
Ellie noticed what Grace was saying and asked tentatively.
In her opinion, if Grace was to write the article, then at least a sarcastic remark such as "the actions of a new police agency are too unplanned" should be added.
"Well, I was preparing for an interview with another subject, so I didn't go." Grace readily admitted, there was nothing to hide anyway. Then, the reporter with short gray-blue hair sighed loudly: "I really wish I had interviewed you." β
If I were to write it, I would definitely write Rubacher a little more embarrassingly. Even if you use vague language, as long as you cleverly hint at it in the text, you can let the reader understand that it was Rubacher who made it this time without being picked out by the superiors. Perhaps, even the shady curtain of the garrison can be mentioned a little~~
Grace had very dangerous thoughts in her mind.
Like Ellie, Grace Lim, a journalist who is the mouthpiece of the government, is also familiar with the darkness of Crossbell. She also wanted to bring as much of the darkness as possible to the light.
What Grace is distressed about is that she didn't personally "fight" those shady scenes. It's just that, in the eyes of others, it's hard to say whether this is the case.
Theo suddenly recalled the previous report of the operation of the underground passage to save Long and Henry, and his already cold expression became even lower: "Maybe it's a lucky thing that we didn't make the interview." β
Randy also thought of the "good report" written by this self-disciplined reporter when he "debuted" in the Support Section, and reluctantly agreed, "yes...... If we were to be written that kind of discouraging report again, we would be really depressed. β
Grace didn't understand Theo's words at first, but when she heard Randy's words, her aquamarine eyes rolled and she understood that they were snorting over the last report.
Grace would use the kind of language that shouldn't be used by journalists, and the root cause is that she wants to support Cobel's complacency and lack of progress, or because of the megalomania, after all, the police are not a safe profession in Crossbell.
This point was deeply realized by Grace from Guy Bannings's funeral.
When Grace first became a journalist, she often got into trouble because of her enthusiasm, and she was not less taken care of by Guy at that time. Later, the two often exchanged information, and Grace was well aware that the man's death was not accidental.
People who know too much always die very young. Guy is one of those "nothing to die" type.
Even the policeman with a bright smile and extraordinary action, who would not die easily no matter how you look at it, died so abruptly. His younger brother didn't seem to be as reliable as he was, and if he wasn't mentioned, Grace was afraid that the Bannings' "messy" bloodline would cause Lloyd to be buried in the darkness of Crossbell.
It seems that Grace's good intentions are not understood by them. But Grace didn't expect them to understand.
The reporter continued to sigh with a smile on his own face that has been around all sides all the year round: "Ahhhh ~~β
The half-truths and half-truths, combined with her deliberately disguised exaggerated tone, no one in the support department saw through her.
"Hehe, meeting here is also fate, you guys are going to do ......"
Grace said as she looked at the people in the Support Section, and how did they see that they all had an interesting goal. Combined with the nature of their work, their current position, and recent events, Grace has determined seven or eight points.
But there's something more important right now......
"Ahh
Grace suddenly bent down and rubbed her face against Lotus Xu's cheek. The excellent touch of the girl's unique soft skin and the smell of shampoo used by children made Grace intoxicated at once.
He Xu was startled and tried hard to hide, but Grace was an adult after all, and He Xu was just a child, so how could he compare to her. couldn't break free, and seeing that Grace didn't do any further bad things, Hexu resigned himself to his fate.
"Well, please don't do anything to our people. Isn't there a cute girl at the newspaper? β
You also found that if this continued, the incident was likely to develop in an unscientific place, so he quickly inserted the conversation.
"We're not a newspaper thereβhey, what's the meaning of that last half?"
Grace pouted dissatisfiedly, and let go of Hexu, who was thought to like the same sex, and it would be terrible if this kind of rumor spread. The worst-case scenario is that the editorial department is in the interest of reputation, and Grace is temporarily hidden.
"Well, it's not interesting. I just don't think we should continue to disturb Miss Grace's work. β
Lobbying, quietly glanced at Lloyd.
But where he still used his eyes, even Randy understood the meaning of Youxiang ending the topic.
"Please work hard." Theo said lightly, and bowed to her politely.
"Please come on for the interview." Lloyd also quickly expressed his departure.
"Well, we'll look forward to the next issue of Crossbell Times." Ellie was smiling, but there was a firm sense of departure in her words.
"Huh? Everyone, this is too cold, right? β
Grace was stunned, but she didn't expect the atmosphere to change all of a sudden.
This handsome black-haired guy should not be underestimated. It was just an oversight, and he led the conversation away.
Grace glanced at the man she hadn't even remembered by name.
"Speaking of which, guys, aren't you curious, who I'm going to interview?"
Grace tries to throw a killer idea, hoping to take back the lead of the conversation.
Sure enough, hearing her say this, several people in the support department looked at each other and thought for a while before Lloyd took a step forward and sighed, "Seriously, we're curious. It's just that I always feel that once I ask, things will become very tiring............ Please allow us to remain silent. β
"Don't see the outside like this~ Sister, I, maybe I'm on the same road as you~"
Grace flicked her fingers, with a profound expression of "You haven't cultivated enough". Lloyd couldn't help but scold: No, this is not the outside...... Seeing Lloyd's depressed expression, Grace said happily word by word.
"Ka, Lu, Gate, Martial Arts, Weapons, Merchants, Merchants~"
That's accurate. Lloyd looked thoughtfully at the slender reporter in front of him. Although they didn't do anything to hide their tracks, it wasn't a reason for people to see through it all at once. The most likely way to support the old town of Kolai is to patrol, and of course it may also be to patrol the Sword and Serpent Gang and the Holy Book Society. As a result, Grace skipped those steps and guessed the actions of her group. Surely he is also an observant, right?
originally thought that she was just a reporter who was very arrogant and unruly, and talked to herself, but now it seems that she is also a great person. Speaking of which, being able to become a first-class reporter at Crossbell should not only be a weirdo, right?
Suddenly, the pain in his cheek brought Lloyd back from his thoughts, and Grace laughed and tugged at his cheek.
"I always think you're thinking about some kind of faux pas, Officer Lloyd."
The sound of a bulging voice grumbled. Grace is keenly aware of Lloyd's inner monologue, which is more inclined to "sixth sense" than "insight". Lloyd quickly took his thoughts, apologizing and struggling.
What the hell is this guy here for? Lotus was confused, in her eyes, this woman seemed to be mentally abnormal, rushing past the ...... who was talking to herself and then moving her hands and feet But if you didn't make a move on Theo, forgive her.
Ellie had a similar thought in her heart, and to be honest, she basically didn't want to deal with Grace anymore, she was so tired.
This reporter is very good at disrupting the rhythm of others without a trace, this talent is simply a miracle skill for a journalist, if the other party wants to hide something, she can always get the other party's information.
Although it was rude to Lloyd, Ellie still felt that Lloyd still needed to exercise. Speaking of insight, this young man with broken brown hair is definitely top-notch. But to say "no trace", he is not enough, his observation is too explicit.
Tio quietly watched this farce, sighed heavily, and sighed in his heart: It's troublesome...... Why don't you understand Lloyd, who has a relationship with Miss Grace?
Randy looked at Grace's various ** Lloyd, quietly took a half step back, and leaned into You's ear.
"Looks like that's the purpose, right?"
"Well, it looks like that."
You smiled as if he was in control.
"Really...... Obey her. It looks like she's really our supporter. β
Randy's tone was sarcastic.
In the eyes of the two, Grace's behavior was more than just teasing Lloyd.
It's just such a small farce, and the atmosphere of "fighting to the death" between the support departments was immediately resolved. Although everyone doesn't say it, everyone is more or less worried about visiting the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce. As a result, Grace easily diverted everyone's attention and made them forget about the tension for a while.
It's like relaxing on the last day before the exam, and having a drinking party on the eve of the big war instead of continuing training.
Knowing this skill shows that Grace is indeed an excellent person, and knows the truth that nervousness cannot be overdone, and most people will only understand it after suffering several "nervous" losses.
As for the ridicule in Randy's tone, it is a nostalgic for Grace's previous report. After all, the first mission was said to be like that, which was too demoralizing.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the support section was not so tense, he smiled and inserted into the topic - if he let the topic go down further, it would be endless.
"Well, since Miss Grace is going to the Karumun Consortium like us, why don't we go together?"
