"Rin, don't get excited, Talos is fine. It's just that he was not lightly injured, and he is temporarily kept by the association's armed puppet system. ”

Lan Chai tried his best to calm down his awe-inspiring emotions, although he was afraid that he would not be careful, and ......

"Seriously injured? Armed puppet system? ”

Speaking of which, Talos was indeed not lightly injured, and the last impression left in his memory was the terrible appearance of Talos's puppet body falling off.

However, when it comes to the association's armed puppet system, isn't that the governing body responsible for maintaining law and order? Since then, have maintenance duties been added?

Rin couldn't help but have a burst of doubt in his heart, and at this moment, looking at Lan Zhu's expression, his face obviously couldn't hide the nervousness.

He was a little hesitant to speak, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

However, now that she knew that Talos had been left behind in the guild, she was a little relieved.

'Whoa-'

The body moved inadvertently, and the chains under his feet again made a sound.

Rin frowned, "Then Team Leader Lan, is it time for you to explain this matter to me?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the chain at his ankle.

"This is because the association already knows about your demonization, and it must be guarded against you......"

Lan Chai was blunt about this, and he knew very well anyway that this matter could not be hidden.

"Preparedness?" Rin repeated, then burst out laughing.

There was mockery and bitterness in that smile. And more of it, there is a strong disgust with oneself and deep self-blame.

"So, is that what the Association is going to do to lock me up like this?"

"Well, it should be like this for the time being, as for what to do with it later, we have to wait for news from the association's superiors."

"The association's handling of things is really straightforward and decisive. Is the so-called disposal intended to end me silently, or is it sealed in a place where no one can find me? ”

"It's all possible." Lan replied simply.

"Well, then I see."

Seeing that Rin Rin knew about the association's decision, he didn't have a strong feeling of resistance as he thought before, and his heart was a lot more relieved.

After that, after briefly informing Rin of what had happened in the past two days and the current situation of Talos, Lan Zhu left the ward for the time being.

Compared with Rinrin's obedience as if resigned to his fate, Lan Zhu actually missed the stubborn subordinate who twittered and always refused to obey discipline.

The current Rin Rin is simply blindly immersed in demonized self-blame.

And, after she knew that the other members of the circus were also all burned in the fire, and nothing was left of the burn. That kind of expressionless silence suddenly made Lan Zhu feel a little distressed indescribably.

When I left the hospital, it was already twilight.

Lan Chai looked up at the ward where Rin was currently staying, and only sighed silently.

The guild's fear and defense against half-demons could not be so simple.

The chains and the formation under the bed are just zero-based precautions that are visible on the surface and have no hope that they will work.

And what is really monitoring is the hidden magic envoy in this entire hospital. and a seal spell that is set up in Rinrin's room, and will be triggered whenever she tries to break the shackles.

These are all things that Lan Chay did not reveal to Rinrin.

"I hope you don't make any impulsive moves, otherwise, no one will be able to save you." Lan Chai muttered to himself, slowly retracting his gaze.

……

A few days later, there was no news from the hospital that Rin was behaving unusually. This made Lan Cha feel a lot more at ease.

And on the association's side, under the protection and maneuvering of Xuanxuan, this matter was temporarily suppressed.

On the day Rin left the hospital, it was Xuan Yu who came to pick him up.

She didn't have any obvious injuries on her body, but because Noz threw her out of the wall of fire at that time, coupled with the demonized damage to her body, she was hospitalized for so many days.

The moment the chains were untied from his feet, the entire ward shimmered like a layer of foam that had faded in the sun.

"Has there always been such an enchantment in this room?" Rin reached out and touched the dissipating wall of the barrier.

"Regarding your accidental demonization, maybe the whole association is a little jealous of you. It's okay now, though. As he spoke, Xuan Yu touched his head.

Accidentally?

Was this matter finally asserted?

But thinking about it, this so-called demonization was not what she wanted, and even she didn't know the details.

"However, by the time the people arrived, Jessica, the caretaker of the circus, and the others were already dead. So the clue about the smuggling of the demon spirit was also broken. ”

"What about the demons smuggled by the circus, have they all been sent back to their respective places of residence?"

Regarding the details of the smuggling, Lan Cha was not very clear at that time, so she was also in a state of ignorance about this matter.

Now that Xuan Yu mentioned it, Rin Rin took the opportunity to ask.

"Well, the association is already working on it. It's just that, according to the number of lists found in the circus, it seems that there is one missing. ”

"Missing a Wisp?"

"That's right. Although it is not ruled out that it was affected by the fire, if that is the case, no trace of the spirit has been found. Xuan Yu looked thoughtful.

I thought that rescue should be the easiest thing, but I didn't expect such a small episode to happen in the end, which is also incomprehensible.

But this matter was only passed by like this, and no one mentioned it again.

Maybe for the association, the danger has been lifted anyway, and one more or less demon spirit will not have much impact.

"However, you'd better try not to cause any trouble or do anything wrong during this time. After all, the rest of the people in the association will still have a grudge against you in a short period of time. ”

Xuan Yu pressed his hands on Rin's shoulders, and the expression on his face was a rare serious look on Rin's face on weekdays.

Rin knew the seriousness of this matter, if it weren't for the fact that Xuan Yu tried to protect herself in the association as an executive, I'm afraid she would have been ...... by the association by now

On the way, both of them were just silent, and it wasn't until they were about to get home that Rin asked a little tentatively, "Uncle Xuanyu, since the matter has been decided, then I can go to see Talos now, right?" ”

"You girl is deliberately trying to do it against me, right, I just said that you should try not to cause trouble during this time, and you have to stick to the armed puppet system!" Xuan Wu reached out and knocked on Rin's head.

I thought that after this incident, Rin would be quiet for a while and make less trouble for herself. Unexpectedly, I overestimated this girl.

She is clearly typical, and she can't be obedient for three days.

"I'm just going to see Talos and take him home by the way, and I'm not there to make trouble." Rin Rin rubbed the slightly painful head of the quilt and flattened her mouth, looking unconvinced.

After all the words had already been spoken, Rin simply stopped and sat down on the bench next to the community garden.

"Are you going to mess with me?"

"How can it be, I'm not trying my best~ to ask for Uncle Xuanyu's consent." Rin smiled, deliberately lengthening her voice on the word 'effort'.

"Hey, I'm really scared of you." Xuan was helpless, but in the end, she was defeated in this little girl's coquettish tone and smile.

Whether it should be said or not, sometimes the relationship between people is so strange. The so-called one thing descends to one thing, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe that the executive officer of the dignified Yunyin Association has no resistance to a little girl.

"Thank you, Uncle Xuan. It's not just that. And most importantly, thank you for believing in me like this......"

Rin Rin got up, plunged into Xuan's arms, and rubbed indiscriminately.

At this time, I am afraid that nothing is more important to Rin than the trust in her at the moment. She had seen too much of that kind of fearful and disgusted look.

She couldn't remember if she had ever experienced demonization, but she put aside the danger of demonization. The incident itself is like a mirror that reflects the most real fears in people's hearts.

Xuan Mo touched her head, but only showed a faint smile.

-

The next day, Rin took the pass she had obtained from Xuan Yu and went to the armed puppet system at the edge of the guild.

There are few people here on weekdays, and it is simply used to store armed dolls, which can be called a place for loading and unloading bases.

Because the control and allocation rights of the armed puppets are now all under the responsibility of the Yunyin Association, Rin Rin entered it smoothly after showing the pass.

"Are you here to pick up the damaged doll that was sent a few days ago?" The reception envoy at the door asked.

"Hmm."

Rin replied casually, obviously reluctant to pay too much attention to the person next to her.

Although the first time we met, I couldn't talk about the good or bad impression, but the word 'take' blurted out by this person made Rin inexplicable and unhappy.

What does Talos mean to him?

It is a mutually beneficial contract spirit, and it is a loyal family dog by your side.

Or has it become indispensable before you know it, that person......

Ever since she woke up and was lying idly in the hospital, her mind had been plagued by questions like these.

And what also lingers is the appearance of Talos being injured, and the indescribable touch when she stabs into the puppet's body at the end.

Thinking all the way, Rin Rin has been guided by the magic envoy beside him to the top floor of this building.

Although it was daytime, there was not half a bit of sunlight on the entire upper floor. Except for the gloom and coldness, there was no additional feeling.

"It may be a little cold here, but the body material of the armed puppet must be protected from light to be used for a long time."

Seeing Rin Rin beside him rubbing his arms from time to time, obviously looking a little cold, Shicai explained with a smile.

"If it's a puppet that has already made a contract with the Demon Envoy, do you also have to avoid light on weekdays?" Hearing this, Rin Rin seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly asked.

"Theoretically, armed dolls don't come easily. Whether it is purchased by major families at a high price or through other channels, it is bound to be carefully preserved in order to be used for a long time. ”

"So, what happens if you don't protect it from light?"

"It's not going to be like that, it's just easy to break."

“……”

At this moment, Rin Rin only felt that something was choking in her throat, and she was uncomfortable, but she couldn't make a sound.

It's no wonder that when Talos is at home, he always draws the curtains. When I go out, I always ask for an umbrella and don't want to bask in the sun.

These small details and small actions that are common in life, why she hadn't thought about it before, the reason why Talos did this.

Sure enough, he was too Talos.

And this kind of chagrin also made the seeds of self-blame that Rin had bought in her heart take root and sprout more quickly.

"When we arrive, the armed puppets that were sent before are stored here." With that, Rin had been guided by the envoy to the door of one of the rooms.
