Volume 1 Admission Chapter 39 The Old Man Meets
Since Bella is happy, Teris is also very happy, and even the clerks around him are happy, and Teris buys a lot of things in large bags, which is also a very rare time in normal times.
Because most of the students like to shop online, or go to the bustling downtown of Winterfell to buy clothes, they usually just buy their belongings around the school, which is like now, and it takes an hour to catch up with the usual day's turnover.
So the atmosphere of the scene was also very happy by the clerk, the clerk and Bella were discussing the latest and most trendy clothes on one side, talking and laughing, and occasionally glancing at Tras, while on the other side, the idle and bored Teris was talking to the regional head about the recent events in Winterfell, and the middle-aged uncle who was in his 50s was still very accurate in his judgment of the current situation.
"Ever since the church announced its rituals, Winterfell has been plagued by disasters, first with the awakening of the demon descendants of the Douze family, and then with the conflict between the church and the association in the hovertrain yesterday. The three things seem to be not connected at all, but their essence is related to each other. What do you think?"
"What can I think as a student can say, it's nothing more than a nest fight! This is nothing new in major urban areas. Teres scoffed.
"That's right, it's also difficult for us ordinary people, those of us who enjoy a peaceful life really can't stand such turmoil, especially when this kind of thing hits us. The middle-aged man said something deeply.
Teris was interested, "What, sir, is also a victim of these accidents?"
"No, it's one of my employees, would you like to hear the story?" the middle-aged man asked.
Teris thought for a moment, looked at Bella, who was picking out clothes, and looked at the middle-aged man with a somewhat unusual look, and replied to him, "Yes." ”
"Her name is Christopher Luna. She is a single mother with a daughter at home, and because she is hard-working, she is warm, and her colleagues like her. In addition, she has a very smart daughter who was admitted to the seminary of McGill University, which should have been a happy family, but after a class reunion, her daughter disappeared, and since then, she has become more and more mentally dazed and less and less focused, so I have no choice but to let her rest for a few days. ”
"You say, is this a disaster from heaven? The middle-aged man said.
"What's her daughter's name?" asked Tris.
"Christopher, we all call her Little Christopher. ”
Teris fell silent.
Sure enough, when the middle-aged man told this story, Teris felt that trouble was coming, although Christopher's soul was gone, but Bella, who occupied her body, was still there, although her personal temperament would change, but her appearance would not change much, as long as Bella lived on campus, such things would inevitably happen.
However, this man also gave a lot of information to Tris, since it is a single family, the fact that Christopher was adopted by humans can be corroborated, so that Tris can be more sure of the fact that he is a demon descendant. And what kind of person could this man in front of him be Christopher?boyfriend?stepfather?uncle?Teris's mind spun in a big circle.
In either case, he should have known Christopher, otherwise he wouldn't be here to gossip with himself, trying to say something, and at the same time dragging his feet. From Terese's point of view, under his calm appearance, he looked particularly anxious, so who should he be waiting for, should he cooperate with the acting of this play?
But will the senior sister cooperate with herself? Teres must ensure that Bella can't come out to make trouble during this scene, and even needs her to cooperate, otherwise this matter will become more troublesome, and even disturb their lives.
Teris immediately left aside the middle-aged manager on the side, and suddenly came to Bella's side, pulling her to the side where there was no one, Bella changed and said, "What are you doing! I haven't picked it yet?"
"Senior sister, did you hear everything?" Triss stared at Bella's eyes.
"Hear that, what's wrong?" Bella looked away from Tris's gaze, looking a little indifferent.
"It won't be long before Christopher, the middle-aged man, is coming, are you going to run away, or are you going to stay?" asked Terres.
"Of course I stayed, they could still eat me, and besides, I haven't bought my clothes yet, so I can't leave for the time being. ”
Since Bella said so, it is likely that Tris's plan will work. "What does Senior Sister think?" asked Terres.
"What else can I do? It's nothing more than talking about the recent situation, saying that her disappearance is just a nightmare, do I want to tell her that her adopted daughter is a demon? And she died at the banquet a few days ago, and now I'm Bella Cruise? I don't think she's that receptive!"
"That's exactly right, Senior Sister and I thought of a place, so things will be easy to do. ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't go far, the middle-aged man calmed down, and Creed, who was already 50 years old, rarely encountered such a thing that made his heart flutter, just thinking that he saw the dead person, even if the demeanor was a little different, but he could be sure that the Bella in front of him and his employee's daughter were so imaginary, like the same person.
When he was dangling in front of her, he didn't notice Bella's abnormality. To Bella, he was a dispensable stranger. This wasn't the Christopher he knew, the lively and joyful girl!
The resurrection of the dead, which should only exist in film and television performances, has been moved to life. Frightened, he contacted Luna, and when she heard the news, she was trying to arrive, and it might not be long before she saw it, and she really didn't know what kind of mood she should feel.
And now Bella is thinking about what kind of wording to use to deal with the next scene, it is impossible to escape, since she occupies this body, she always has to face a similar situation, it is better to calm down and solve this trouble cleanly, and finally accompany her brother and sister to come back to school again.
The two who were originally shopping for clothes in the mall began to prepare for the next drama again.
Teres put forward the tried and tested excuse of "amnesia", a person's demeanor and behavior in the eyes of familiar people, is a solidified landscape, it is difficult to change, only the excuse of amnesia can explain Bella's different previous behavior and personality.
And the burden of this explanation is on Teres, and you can't expect a patient with amnesia to explain to someone how she lost her memory.
Going around and around, the burden of things still falls on him, but Terex's heart is a little stable, if the matter is let the senior sister say, I don't know what kind of mistakes will go wrong, and now it's good.
After a rehearsal, Teris let go of her senior sister and let her go on to choose clothes, after all, this is the main purpose of coming out this time, and everything else is an encounter.
Just as Teris and Bella were about to leave, they saw a woman hurrying over. This is a well-dressed woman, because the weather has warmed up recently, she wears a dressy coat, a pair of flat leather shoes, and her long hair is only tied in a simple ponytail, and she has a delicate face. He is in his thirties.
This was a bit of a surprise to Terres, who felt that the next situation was going to be very difficult as she quickly communicated with the manager of the mall.
Bella was also shocked when she saw this person, after all, a lot of problems can be seen from the appearance, didn't Christopher have any suspicions before such a young mother?
Luna leaned over to Bella, the scrutiny in her eyes was very obvious, as if she was looking at something carefully, which was very rude for ordinary people, but Bella didn't care, just glanced to the other side when her eyes met hers.
"Have we met, kid?" asked Luna, and Terres could hear her voice trembling, her body unstable from the great stimulus, and her emotions seemed very unstable.
But things didn't go her way. "I guess I haven't seen you, I don't remember knowing you. Bella said the lines she had prepared.
"You and one of my children look very imaginative, like a mold came out. After a moment of silence, Luna said this, and Bella didn't want to go on and talk like this, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
At this time, Teres leaned over, looked at Luna, and greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Luna, I'm Christopher's classmate, my name is Terex, can we talk alone?"
Hearing this introduction, Luna suddenly became awe-inspiring, and the sadness she had just shown was temporarily suppressed, and she raised her head to meet Terres's gaze, "Yes, of course." ”
After changing the environment, Luna, who had just looked a little weak, disappeared all of a sudden, and was replaced by a capable professional, and Teris didn't go into the topic directly: "Christopher was hit hard by the demonic awakening that day, and he hasn't recovered yet. ”
"Then why did the church publish her death list and not notify me," Luna asked.
"There is a huge connection between her and the Demon Awakening, and the church can't prevent things from getting worse, and the church is temporarily responsible for me to take care of her!
"Is this so high-level?As a C-rank member of the Magic Society, why can't I find any information about it? ”
No wonder Luna's speaking style, Teris is so familiar, as long as the personnel of the Long Baptism Association are almost all in this tone, then his own speech should be more cautious, otherwise she will see something, this lie will not be round.
