Chapter 33: The Protector and the Dead
There are many special zones built on the earth for alien races from different planets, and most of these special zones are set up on artificial islands and aviation ships, which on the one hand ensures that the people of the special zone are not harassed, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the spread of crisis to the special zone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As in previous diplomatic strategies, the local government will prioritize the protection of foreign residents, otherwise it is likely to create a bad image and cause international disputes.
At this moment, the blonde girl named Ariel was standing at the entrance to a special zone of orc and subhuman races, and with worry written on her face, she quickly looked away and left the scene with her bag in her hand.
The entrance to the zone is full of armed soldiers armed with guns, and the road they guard is difficult to invade because it is a wide, unsheltered road that can accommodate two large trucks.
There are two equal number of empty rails above the road, providing direct transportation for the aliens in the Special Administrative Region to travel and go home to rest, of course, the aliens can also choose to travel by car, after all, if you want to get the high-quality services prepared by the earthlings, money is an indispensable thing.
The girl who knew that there were all kinds of secrets in it did not act rashly, she knew that her current strength was not enough, and it was very difficult to change the status quo, and she had to wait for an opportunity to appear.
Speeding up so as not to arouse suspicion, Ariel managed to leave the streets near the district and climbed towards a ramp to the north, where her destination was just below after crossing the ramp.
When she reached the top of the slope, Ariel did not feel any discomfort, and she sorted out her mood with sufficient physical strength, and tried to make herself show the most gentle smile.
There is an orphanage at the bottom of the slope, and the sign on the door reads "Tander Orphanage", which is where Ariel was born and where she has been absent for a long time; Because of her work, Ariel doesn't return to the orphanage much.
She glanced at the bag she was carrying, which contained fruit and some small toys, and she wondered if the children would like it, and if they did, it would be bad......
There was an uneasy feeling in her heart, and Ariel felt ridiculous for her indecision, knowing that she had already made up her consciousness and decided to abandon her former self, and it was not okay to stop now.
Instead of continuing to struggle with her inner conflict, Ariel took a few deep breaths, which she had heard on TV that was very effective in reducing stress, and she didn't know if it was true or not.
Ariel, who has been immersed in missions and killings lately, took out the perfume from her pocket and sprayed it on herself before entering the orphanage, she likes the smell of fragrance, which can make others feel at ease and at the same time erase the smell of blood on her body.
After making sure that everything was okay, Ariel officially entered the Tandel orphanage, looking forward to seeing the innocent children again.
As soon as you enter, you can see fountains and statues surrounded by flower beds, and recently the Tandell Orphanage has been receiving sponsorships and benefits from anonymous people and chambers of commerce, some of which are provided by Ariel.
For this orphanage that raised herself, Ariel will not let her disappear no matter what, and must maintain her.
Ariel let the mild sunlight fall on her body near noon, and after crossing the main entrance square, she went straight down the path to the backyard.
There were not many people in this orphanage, less than thirty in total, and there were only a few faculty members, and if Ariel remembered correctly, the reason why no one welcomed her was because it happened to be Cleaning Day.
Sure enough, Ariel came to the backyard and saw children pulling weeds, and there were several elderly people drying clothes near the fence.
The three old men, all over half a hundred years old, used to follow the nameless religion and still came here as nuns to take care of the children after the dissolution of the church, and Ariel was also cared for by them in the past.
Before Ariel could greet the children and the nuns, she suddenly saw several vans coming in through the back door, completely ignoring the old nuns who had the right to manage the area.
Ariel could see clearly that the trucks had the Julmgunt Chamber of Commerce on the sides, and the snakes with their heads and tails wrapped in flames were annoying.
The trucks drove deeper into the orphanage, which, if Ariel remembers correctly, was the orphanage's dedicated warehouse, which was used to store unused textbooks, chairs, and broken items.
A bunch of damn guys, Ariel looked at them viciously, then withdrew her gaze, after all, she knew there was no use in complaining here.
Ariel had tried to warn those guys before, but her words were quickly ignored by the other party, after all, the chamber of commerce has a lot of power and connections, and a one-man confrontation is obviously not very realistic.
Perhaps noticing Ariel's arrival, several old nuns beckoned the children indoors after quickly drying their clothes, so that they did not need to continue weeding.
Glancing at an old nun, Ariel nodded and turned towards the main entrance, where she planned to surprise the children.
I have to say that Ariel is still very popular in the orphanage, in addition to the fact that she will bring gifts and snacks every time she returns to the orphanage, she will also accompany everyone to play with her very gently, which has led to her being loved by many people.
Occasionally, Ariel would refuse the confessions of some little boys with tears and laughter, which also made her start to pay attention to her actions, and it was not okay to be too gentle with those little ghosts.
When Ariel came to the door, she saw that the door was opened, and an elderly nun was smiling, and the wrinkles left on her face by the years were piled up, and they could not hide her kindness and kindness.
"Good noon, Sister Marjorie, I'm back, it's a gift for the children."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, the children are washing their hands, and they'll go to the hall in a while, you can wait first."
"No problem...... But are the people I saw here to store the goods? I told them not to come, and you didn't open the back door. ”
The old nun, whose full name is Marjorie Davide, takes what is in Ariel's hand and rejects Ariel's offer
"No, they are our patrons, who allow us to pay for our daily expenses and land rentals and so on; After all, this orphanage was originally built by the government in the name of charity, and there is nothing they can do if they forcibly expropriate it...... No, there are solutions, money can solve all problems. ”
Marjory, an elderly nun, had a sad expression.
"The gods will not come here anymore, and even if our sincere prayers are conveyed to the gods, they will be ignored, but even then I believe that there is always hope to come here."
Devout believers do not lose their faith because of the disappearance of the church, their hearts have long been impregnated by the light of the God of faith, and they will not give up halfway, not knowing whether it is sadness or happiness.
Ariel is well aware of the stubbornness of Sister Marjorie, after all, she is more religious than anyone else, and it is because of this belief that she has come to this day.
Giving Sister Marjorie some light things, Ariel accompanied her towards the hall, where the children had to make their way to the atrium.
"Sister Marjorie, have those people been carrying goods a lot lately? It's not just food and daily necessities for us, right? ”
"The orphanage is not large, and it has been able to survive until now thanks to the help provided by you and those merchants; If the orphanage is disbanded now, the children will be sent to a facility that is strictly managed and has no freedom, so ......"
"I've heard there are good places, but this orphanage is their home now."
There are better places out there than the Tandell Orphanage, and of course there are worse places, but this group of children is afraid that they are not willing to leave here, they have fallen in love with this place, this land.
Ariel knew exactly what Sister Marjorie meant, and as long as she didn't interfere with the hateful merchants, they would continue to help.
Ariel had previously investigated that the people who came here under the banner of 'transporting supplies' actually had another purpose, that is, to bring the poisons and products made by the aliens to the orphanage, and the next step was easy to understand, they directly used the orphanage as a transit station, so that the trucks could transport the goods everywhere again, so that it would not be easy to attract the attention of others, and there was also a legitimate reason to enter and leave the area inhabited by humans.
The Tandel Orphanage was being used, and Ariel didn't have anything particularly good to do when she found out.
If she goes to report alone, she will definitely not be accepted, and she can also ask the Yurmgun Chamber of Commerce to directly withdraw the aid, which will be troublesome.
Ariel had thought about earning a reward for exposing their crimes, but the only evidence she had in her hands was the drugs she had seen last time, with neither photos nor videos.
Of course, it is possible to call someone over now, but Ariel thinks that the Yurmgaunt Chamber of Commerce must have sent someone to watch the surrounding area, which also means that it is a bit difficult to get people to come and catch a ready-made product directly (provided that someone believes Ariel's words).
There are obstacles in either way, and Ariel's biggest concern is the safety of the children.
Everything she did was to protect the orphanage, and if the children were put in danger because of the report, it would be in vain.
"Ahh It's Sister Ariel!!! ”
"Big Sister Skrelld!! How did you get back! Are you going to play baseball together today?! ”
"Baseball is not fun to play as old as a game! I got this as a gift for my birthday! You can play chess by projection! ”
"Don't make any noise! Let's take a break for Sister Ariel! Hmmm! There's actually the latest comic!! ”
The children all gathered around, Ariel busied herself with them, and Sister Marjorie next to her smiled.
Ariel could not resist the demands of a little girl, and she was pulled over the children's sand, and asked to make a castle together.
Although some of the boys didn't like such an inkblot game, after seeing Ariel's nod, they came over one by one.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I'm going to be angry!"
Picking up the children's shovel for shoveling sand, Ariel pretended to be angry and quickly quieted down the children around her.
"Wait, can you tell a story?"
"Huh? No problem, but let's wait until we finish this castle together, shall we? ”
"Okay, okay!"
A weak little girl holding a puppet nodded, and began to squat carefully to the side to pile sand for the others.
As Ariel wiped the sand from a girl's face with her hand, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sister Marjorie and several other nuns talking to a man indoors.
Ariel clapped her hands, handed the shovel to the little girl next to her, got up and walked over there, and asked the children to complete the sandcastle as much as they could before she returned, and everyone was rewarded afterwards.
The reward was used as bait to quickly get the kids into the 'fight' while Ariel headed inside.
"We're going to rebuild and expand your warehouse underground, okay? In response, we will increase our aid. ”
The man in the suit said this to several elderly nuns, and pulled out a document
"This is a rectification agreement, we let the engineering team work in three days, if we promise it, there are many benefits."
"No...... The orphanage's underground transformation itself is a bit fragile, usually quite strong, and there is no problem, but once the construction starts, it will be very dangerous. ”
"Rest assured, Dear Sister Marjorie, you can leave the orphanage for the time being, and we will completely renovate it; If you think about it, renovations and increased aid can add up to a lot of revenue, and we're doing it for your good. ”
Ariel overhears their conversation and runs to the middle
"The benefits? You're trying to drive us away, aren't you? You can't fool me, this information of yours ......"
Ariel, who had taken the man's profile, flipped to the last page
"It can be written [Equal compensation will be given in case of accidents], once there is an accident, do you have to buy this place in the name of compensation?"
"Oops, what a misunderstanding......"
"We refuse."
"There's no room for conversation?"
"Yes."
"Then you'll regret it."
The man in the suit straightened his hair with his hands, then snatched the information from Ariel's hand and left the scene.
"I'm sorry Ariel, we're so useless."
"No, no, Sister Marjory, you've done well enough, I'll take care of the rest."
It's up to me to protect this place - that's Ariel's only purpose.
――――
Yahui knows Ariel's thoughts and purposes, and it seems that behind the ordinary earth, there are many secrets hidden by no one.
If you can give such a huge chamber of commerce to a pot, will you be able to get a high honor?
Even if the Galactic Monastery is trading with the Julmgun Chamber of Commerce, it does not mean that it is all together, because the Abbey has the responsibility to protect the faithful, the human race, and the aliens, and it is this philosophy that has made the Galactic Monastery grow so strong.
"Ariel, I'm your teammate."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's make big news and rip off the masks of those nasty guys."
Yahui began to die again.
