"You like him?"

"I love him."

Chiz. That's what Carson said.

Avery. Farmer returned to his dormitory after a day of training, and by the second grade, the students' dormitories were much more spacious, but most of the students still had to share a room with two people, he was not very happy with this, he believed that his roommates thought the same, but they were only in a slightly better situation than the first year freshmen, and only the third and fourth year students had the right to be picky.

His form has been poor these days, and the coach thought he was upset because he was still a running bench, but the coach comforted the promising player and promised him that he would be a regular player in the third year. Little did he know what Avery was really upset about was that his investigation in Manchester had not progressed at all – his ideal scenario of having an easy list of Lions members had not materialized, and although many of the seniors boasted that they had been recruited – they had to admit that they were lying, despite Avery's inquiry.

It was once said that the Lions would gather all the second-graders in the square and pat the shoulders of the people they fancied and shout, "Follow me!" Would-be Lions members will happily follow the solicitors, but in fact, this is nonsense—Lions solicitations have been secret since their inception, they invite in a variety of unknown ways, and the people who are solicited never shout loudly about their identities, and many never let others know that they were part of the Lions club for the rest of their lives—they don't want to attract attention. When Avery . When Farmer wandered for too long near a small building that many students thought might be a secret meeting place for the Lions, the coach warned him that if he continued to be so incessantly "curious", he could be kicked out of the rugby team and out of Manchester.

There is a well-known way to get a roster of Lions members. That is to become their member, and each member will have access to a roster of previous members when they graduate.

Avery weighed himself on whether he would be able to get an invitation from the Lions. The answer is no. Lions members often have a long or extremely honorable surname, and most of them have backgrounds. Famo was just a farmer, and Avery was just the most ordinary of more than a thousand second-graders, if it weren't for the other strong hand behind Avery. Famo, they had long been ruined—Avery had wondered if he could catch that hand—and those people must have known who had killed Ferrola, but after a moment's attempt, his father was accused of commercial fraud, and God knows that this honest and traditional man rarely even used credit cards!

Avery immediately halted all action for three months. He only showed up in four places, the dormitory, the dining room, the classrooms and the rugby field.

His father was released, but he soon went bankrupt, but luckily there was enough money left over to rent an apartment in a small city near Manchester, and now Avery is paid an unexpectedly good salary as a clerk for a company.

Avery couldn't contain his anger at the sight of the man again, if they just wanted him to be an honest student. So why send him to Manchester, they could have thrown him at any university or just let him work as a forklift driver. Thieves, addicts!

"Of course, we don't keep useless people – but that doesn't mean you can stick your nose out and sniff around without permission, that's tiresome, remember, it's not your job – we're letting you into Manchester first: to keep an eye on this person."

The man held a picture in front of Avery, who recognized him at once.

"What does he have to watch?"

"Care for him, love him." The man said, "Watch his every move—if you can't, Beelzebub. Bisandi. They have a brotherly relationship. ”

"Bissandi, he's going to be on the rugby team, right?"

"He did a great job." The man said: "He's worth a lot more than you, at least we don't have to pay extra to keep him on the rugby team." ”

Putting such a blunt humiliation on another young and vigorous boy would certainly cause an unpleasant storm or freeze, but Avery couldn't care about it anymore: "But it's ...... No," he stubbornly retorted, "you should know that I didn't apply to Manchester to study here – I wanted to know the name of the bastard!" ”

"What about after you know?" The man said, "What do you want?" Kill him? ”

"I don't know," said Avery, "but I'm not going to let him spend the rest of his life at ease." ”

"If you can do your job well in the next few years, we'll give you some papers." The man said, "We can give you a lawyer." ”

"Give me a name." Avery insisted: "The man is in the fourth year and he will leave next year if he doesn't want to continue his studies in Manchester." Once gone, Avery would have had a hard time finding him alone, and he didn't trust them, and he didn't even know the documents for the first time. Will they really give it to him, given that he is no longer of much use? He didn't understand politics, but he also knew that politicians never had real enemies or friends, and only the devil knew what it would be like in a few years, if not a year, - he needed everything he could get now.

The man was silent for a moment, and then left as quietly as he had come.

Avery returned to his dorm room, and there was a folder on his computer that contained the freshman Sasha. Hopkins material, Avery had a premonition when he saw him at the opening ceremony.

The man took Avery back.

"Do we really need to do this?" One person said, "A little kid." ”

"If Kassandra's prophecy is correct," said another, "he could literally change the whole world." ”

"The world is good enough, or bad enough," said the third man, "and we've got enough power that we, and people like us, can live well, and we don't need to change." ”

"If you really think so," said the second speaker, "then you are very wrong." Our Mr. President doesn't think so - he hates the Paranormal and has always wanted to compare them to criminals. ”

"A president with weak foundations," said a third man, "he will be in power for eight years at most." ”

"This is his third year, but he's already tortured enough at the top of the 'institution'." The second said.

"We are not an 'institution.'"

"Of course we are not an 'institution,' and in Mr. President's memo we are an illegal organization, dangerous, and unpredictable," said the fourth, "and he wouldn't mind erasing us from this world — erasing 'Samael' if he finds an opportunity." ”
