Les Invalides (II)
"You shouldn't have been so protective of me, Father."
When Wan Jie said this, there was an endless smile on her face.
"I just don't want unnecessary disagreements at this juncture. Besides, I don't think Gong Chen's idea of us turning around and leaving is an idea worth approving. ”
Father Ann said matter-of-factly.
The two walked together through another green-lit arch. At this time, Yu Siqi, who was following behind, noticed that there was a huge flower bed in front of them.
The flower bed is made up of several layers.
At the bottom is the glowing soil, and in the middle is a variety of flowers.
At the top of the flower bed, there is a small column of water, which sprays a thin mist of water at all times, making the design of the whole flower bed less compatible with the surrounding scene.
"This Phil always likes to make his own decisions about Ye Bo's designs."
Wan Jie didn't even look at the flower bed, and went around directly. Father An, on the other hand, deliberately stood on the edge of the flower bed and took a closer look.
Yu Siqi, who was a little concerned, walked over and asked curiously.
"Do you like cherry blossoms?"
"Yes, I do like 'hanami'. However, because of the sensitive nose by nature, I am often troubled by hay fever when the flowers are blooming, and I often stay away from flowers. It's too late to hide, how can you have the energy to appreciate it. ”
Father An noticed that Gong Chen and the others had come to his side, so he smiled and explained.
"And you're now?"
As soon as Yu Siqi finished asking this question, he found that he seemed to have made a very low-level mistake. Because, he has realized that the pictures in this flower bed are just the product of projection.
"Ah, have you noticed that too? That's a wonderful way to do it! ”
Father Ann blinked, and dodged past the edge of the flower bed.
At the back of the flower bed is a rather ornate square door.
The gilded gate is mixed with a lot of white background, which adds a lot of holy air to this gate.
Behind the gate, there is an art gallery and the like. Everywhere there are display cases with beautiful utensils, many of which are labeled with illustrated descriptions.
Looking along the road of the exhibition hall, Yu Siqi saw someone Wan Jie talking to fiercely on the edge of an elevated road.
Although most of the vision had been blocked by the high shelf, Yu Siqi still saw the side face of the man between some gaps.
Just the corner of his eye was enough for Yu Siqi to confirm that it was Fell who had invited them over, not to mention that Yu Siqi also noticed that his bloated body didn't seem to be completely covered by a shelf.
“... It is an honor for my generation to be able to see the tax collector again! Terrified, terrified. ”
As Yu Siqi approached, Fair's voice soon reached his ears.
"Don't come with me with this kind of nonsense that doesn't make any sense, Fair. You haven't forgotten what you just said, have you? ”
Wan Jie casually picked up a set of bone fragments from the shelf at hand and played with it.
"Ah, what a vision, worthy of the tax officer! This is a lost traveler's bone fragment, just carve the place you want to go on it, and then grind the carved bone fragment into powder and eat it. You will be able to be taken to where you want to go before the next total lunar eclipse. ”
Fell pinched his greasy chin and gave a detailed explanation of the items in Wan Jie's hand. However, this did not satisfy Wan Jie.
"I guess you're deliberately selectively forgetting that 'there are at least double-digit or more fools choking to death from eating bone meal', right?"
Wan Jie glanced at Fell and threw the bone fragment back.
"It's... You already know about its side effects! ”
Although Fair's attitude is still very humble, his tone makes people hear a trace of loss.
"Of course I do. You can't forget who took on this case in the first place, right? ”
Wan Jie's body leaned forward slightly. It's really strange, obviously Wan Jie doesn't have an advantage over Fair in size and height. However, she completely overwhelmed Fair in momentum.
"The memory is still fresh."
For the first time, Fell's face was not particularly good-looking, and his expression was gloomy for a few seconds, and then he squeezed out a hypocritical smile.
At this time, Gong Chen and the others also entered this huge art museum. Obviously, although Gong Chen was still reluctant to Fell's invitation, he could not completely hide his love for the exhibits here.
However, I guess I don't look like a 'kid' who has entered an amusement park. At this moment, he is actually relatively 'restrained'.
Drawing his gaze back to Fair's, he waved his hand, and several transhumans, who came out of the dark corner, closed the door. Then, in the vigilance of Yu Siqi and the others, he spoke: "Please don't be so nervous, I'm just trying to avoid having ears on the wall." ”
"Look at what you say, are you sure it's not 'closing the door and beating the dog'?"
Xie Baozhen asked suspiciously, staring at Fair.
"I'm just here to protect you, and I'm here to protect myself. I know that most of you do not trust me, and even the honorable tax collector is full of hostility towards me. In fact, I don't expect you to trust me in the slightest. However, that doesn't stop me from being bullish on you. Just like investing, I care about you, I like you, I appreciate you. So, I want to get to know you guys a little bit. ”
Fell bowed to everyone very gracefully, although he looked a little like a large potato and looked so funny, but his expression was convincing.
"Why do you want to know us?"
Gong Chen asked warily.
"Oh, there are many reasons. But before I explain it to you, can I answer the question of the tax collector? ”
Fell stretched out a right index finger, pointed to the top of his head, and said, "First, let me answer the first question of the tax collector." Why did Demi let you go? In fact, the answer is very simple, he is entangled in more important things, and he has no energy to pay attention to you 'outsiders'. ”
"This explanation is a bit too far-fetched, is there any evidence?"
Wan Jie obviously disagrees with this statement.
"I can provide you with Demi's travel records and call records, or I can share with you the instructions he sent me individually. If that's not enough proof of my sincerity to you, then I think... I can only do my best to help you seize power of the Armory. ”
Fair said a lot of amazing things seriously, among which the matter of 'seizing power' made Yu Siqi very concerned.
How did he know what he was trying to do? ’
