In a newly renovated classroom at Pike Elementary, a complete assembly bench was installed. I don't know if Boone Herman was too flattering and took the trophy making for the craft class too seriously, but the metal workbench that took up most of the classroom space was a waste, and the teacher forbade any students to approach it.

Yes, this is a nursery, and teachers don't want their children to miss a finger or two, or a hole or two in their palms......

"Well, why don't you let your workers make trophies right here, well, and then our children are only responsible for decorating?" Teacher Cuisha looked at the cold mechanical workbench, mainly on the various tools that were indistinguishable from the murder weapons, and suggested, "Paint some patterns, or glue some colored beads or something." ”

"Of course you can!" Boone replied, "It's really our fault this time, and I'm very grateful that you don't hold you accountable!

Boone is a very reserved person, and looking at what he said, 'you', 'we', it's obvious that what he cares about is not [Park Elementary], it's the nursery school for these third generations in the West Side.

"Yes. Teacher Cuisha nodded as she pushed the curious child away, "Then, we won't bother you, this classroom is for you." As he went out and closed the door, he told Lydia, "Don't let any children in!

Lydia nodded, and then explained to Eve: "Then you go to the classroom over there and teach the children crafts, well, simple things, origami, weaving, modeling, etc., don't make anything, uh." You know, complicated stuff. ”

These happened before noon, and I mention these just to illustrate the situation that everyone is facing, now that it is already afternoon.

Eve ordered everyone in the nursery. Come and help her build a tower, model a tower.

"You have yellow-colored paint, right?" Eve asked the workers in Boone, "please bring some of them, the top floors of this tower, because the construction took too long and consumed too much manpower, and in the end the builders did not care about any decoration, and used bricks and earth to continue to build up, and those gray cardboard did not meet my requirements." I need to paint. ”

"Eve......" Lydia looked at the model of the three-meter-tall tower that had been moved outdoors, probably trying to persuade her......

"By the way, Lydia, when I was painting before, I found some watercolors, you go and get them for me, on the walls of the ground floor, there are many people who have come to pray for wishes, I want to ......" Eve said. Suddenly remembered something, and pursed his lips. "Mother, can you help me?"

Lydia smiled, "Of course." ”

"Lola......" Kepler, who was cutting cardboard, tilted his head and looked at the physical education teacher who was still gluing up the tower on the suspension ladder according to Eve's orders, "Remind me again." What kind of tower are we working on now?"

"Babylonian ......" Lola took the cardboard that had been cut and folded into various model parts from all directions, and spliced them together into a piece of the tower, and replied with a strange expression, "Tower of Babel." ”

"Why do we want to do this thing?!" Kepler asked with an aggrieved face as he cut the cardboard. Because cutting requires the use of knives. So Kepler is doing these jobs that can be dangerous for the kids. Looking at the band-aid on her finger, she just knew that the job was not pleasant.

"Handicraft. Lola pursed her lips and nodded her head, "Yes!

The children obeyed Eve's orders almost in adoration, so even though Eve was now leading the group to make a model of a building that probably didn't exist, it meant that no one knew how the model called the 'Tower of Babel' would be completed. However, Lola and others, who only want their children to be obedient and survive their day at the nursery school, must show their support.

So, that's it.

"Lydia?" Ms. Trisha appeared in the hallway, "There's a call from Smith Manor, Mr. Smith has something to look for you. ”

Lydia, who was about to go to the painting class, let out a sigh and walked towards the academic office.

"Father called!" Kepler stood up and lost his tools, "Lola, you do this for me!

"Hey!" said Lola, who was already working on stairs, walls, and skylights in a group of folded and folded ...... The children jumped and ran away.

In front of Lola's eyes, a figure sat down. The porcelain doll-like Eve picked up the cutter and took over Kepler's job.

"En......" Lola looked at the girl in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Eve, how many floors does this tower have?"

"I don't know. Eve shook her head, "My ancestor (first)...... Legend has it that this tower was not completed. ”

"Legends, do you mean stories from the Holy Scriptures?" Lola moved her aching fingers, so the job was completely clueless. Then, Lola discovers an unexpected secret, there is always a porcelain doll with a special aura that rolls her eyes.

"Yes. It's not written on it, so I don't know. Eve replied.

"Are you a believer in the Holy Lord?"

Lola found out again, and Eve pursed her lips! This is a good thing! It has always been a good thing to see a girl who has a sense of distance, well, humanity.

"Sort of. Eve replied again.

"Well, I'm kind of that. Lola blinked, "I sometimes accompany my grandmother to church, and occasionally, I donate something to the church in my name, and I seem to have the title of honorary church member." Lola tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You live in Smith Manor now, and this should happen, and so does Kepler." Well, our kids in the West Side are basically all of them. ”

"Honors, member. Eve seemed to be a little interested, looking at Lola, the movement of her hands did not stop, and the neatly formatted cardboard was distributed to the children in the back.

"Well, just put it on the spot, anyway, I haven't participated in any church activities, but some missionary leaflets from the church will be sent to me regularly. Lola tilted her head, "And it seems to be sending more and more lately." ”

Eve looked thoughtful, "More, doctrinal leaflets like admonitions?"

"Yes. Pretty much. Lola shook her head, "Probably because of Kyle." Lola remembered something, "Oh, Kyle, my brother! He, well, he's working in the church now. Summer internships and stuff like that. He studied for a semester at the Holy Bishop's School in the west...... "Lola's voice lowered automatically, and she didn't seem to want to talk about it.

"Your brother. Eve frowned, looking at Lola in front of her, who was obviously immersed in her emotions, "In the church, now in the church in the Commonwealth. Eve was clearly emphasizing something.

She was Remer, she knew the gates of hell were open, she knew that demons had come to this world. So of course, she's emphasizing those. The elder brother of the girl in front of him is in the same place as any other church in the Federation now—a place occupied by demons. Exercitation?

"The Church of the Federation?" Lola's expression was a little confused, "Well, probably, he also has a trainee mentor from the West who has come to mentor him." Lola pouted, soaking up her emotions again, "I don't like him to be one of those pastors and priests, but, hey. If that's going to happen, I'd still like him to stay at Barton. It's good to stay in Patton's church......"

Eve knew that Lola had misunderstood, but she wasn't ready to correct anything, she had something more concerned, "Your brother, Kyle......" Eve didn't know how to describe the demon to an ordinary girl for a while, and the tail note was elongated for a long time. He said, "Do you like to use silver?"

Needless to say, Eve is an outsider. As for Barton, she only has Lydia, the sister of Smith who has been away from Barton for too long, as her guide, and she has no idea what is going on in Barton!

At the glance. Confirming whether Lola's brother is a demon or not is information worth paying attention to!

"Uh, do you mean cutlery or something?" Lola tilted her head, she had no idea where the question came from, but the girl's brain circuit actually made her make a reasonable additional question.

"Yes. Eve frowned.

"Most of my tableware is porcelain. Lola replied. It's no surprise, porcelain is expensive......

Eve opened her mouth to ask, but closed immediately, knowing that she couldn't ask anything. Lydia and Kepler are back.

"Eve. Kepler's face was nothing, but Lydia's expression was a little strange, "We're going to leave for a while." ”

Eve had already stood up, and by the time she was talking to Lola, she had heard the full text of Lydia's call. Smith, so to speak, on the phone, was angry.

"Kepler, what's wrong?" Lola looked at her friend.

"Oh, it's nothing, that ...... that Zhan in the morning" stopped in time to change his words, it seems that Kepler also knows that it is strange for a girl like her to know a police detective, "The two policemen want Eve and Aunt Lydia to help in the investigation. ”

It's not entirely accurate, it's just that next to Lydia, listening to Lydia's reply to Smith, Kepler was able to judge something. What she didn't know was that Smith had been asked to help investigate a fire in one of Smith's warehouses in the Port Massa warehouse complex.

Smith on the phone put it this way, "The two detectives said they just wanted to thank you for your help in the morning at Boone Herman! but I happened to hear about our warehouse in Massa Harbor, and there had been a similar fire before, so let's see if there is anything we can do to help! Help? Hmph! Help! Lydia! What the hell did you do?! It took me a lot of effort to put the fire down! How could you ......?"

"Oh, then you guys go quickly. Lola also stood up, "I'll let xx (Lola's driver) send you." ”

"No need. The oddity on Lydia's face had vanished into a smile, "I don't know how we can help, don't be too positive, I'll just walk around with Eve and take a look at Barton by the way." ”

When she was about to blurt out 'What is there to do with Paising' was stopped in time, Lola sighed and sat back down, only to find that her friend Kepler blinked and looked happy. The joy didn't last.

Before Eve left, she turned around and looked at the 'Tower of Babel', which was already three meters tall, "I don't know how tall it will be when I see it again." ”

"Liszt Tower is as tall as !!" replied the bear children with their hands raised.

Kepler sat back in his seat and picked up the cardboard and cutter again......

Out of [Pike Elementary], Eve immediately spoke, "What do you want to tell me, even though we are Ramer, half-human and half-vampire, the sunlight still weakens our abilities. Why refuse Lola's car. ”

Lydia's hand was in front of her forehead, looking languishing in the afternoon sun. If it was just weakness for Eve, for her, who was clearly said to be untalented, the sun had a greater effect on her.

Eve shook her head and took Lydia's hand, we couldn't see what was going on, Lydia's face was much better anyway. She smiled gratefully, "Do you remember yesterday Kepler mentioned that there was an accident at one of Smith's warehouses?" ”

"I remember. Eve nodded, "So the amount of building materials to be donated to Parker Elementary School has been curtailed for the time being. ”

Lydia chuckled and tilted her head, "The Smith family's manufacturing 'factory' is underneath the warehouse. ”

Eve pursed her lips and understood, "I heard a fire on the phone, under Smith's warehouse. Eve tilted her head to look at Lydia, "What happened in your 'factory'. "Just a reminder that Lydia is also Smith, and that's her home that doesn't always use the third person 'Smith'.

Lydia shrugged her shoulders and received, "But you don't have to ask me. Lydia smiled and shook her head, "I just found out, too. Yesterday morning, I tried to test the ...... in our house," Lydia laughed and accentuated the words, indicating that she was obedient, "and you have heard some things in our family, my dear brother, to perfunctory me with 'little things'. Now it looks like there are many things he doesn't want me to know. ”

"Then we should thank the two detectives who were eager to express their gratitude. Eve turned her head, "The warehouse fire they happened to know about gave us a chance to learn about something we were interested in in our home. Eve regretted it, such a title was too tongue-twisting.

"But I still don't understand why they made an appointment to meet in the warehouse. Eve shook her head, "Apparently your brother doesn't want the police to be there. The two detectives were offending Smith. Eve pursed the corners of her lips, "We Smith." ”

"There's something I don't understand. Lydia waved her hand, no malicious contempt," said Boone Herman. Lydia pursed her lips, "With Herman here, who would pay attention to his brother." Smith is different, we also saw Boone in the morning, and the fire in his workshop is probably not taken seriously by the police at all. Although I don't know why those two detectives are so active, if it is related to Smith. If Smith had been a victim, the case would have been taken seriously. ”

"The detectives are going to be disappointed. Eve shook her head, "Although, I'd love to see if they could find out what that thing was burned to destruction by the laws of the world at the border of the barrier." But their hopes of using Smith to increase attention are going to be dashed entirely. Eve looked a little disappointed, "Unless there is something in your 'factory' that is punished by the laws of the world, an ordinary fire can't be as ...... as the fire on Boone's side."

"It's our 'factory'. Lydia caught Eve's slip of the tongue and shrugged with a smile, "Who knows, just go and see." Perhaps, our factory ......," Lydia said with some childish accentuation...... What is being punished? ”

Needless to say, Lydia was right. The thing that was punished was Dylan. (To be continued......)
