Chapter 19 Significance
The case of George did not cause much of a stir in Frankser, and the local government published in the newspapers that Officer Ford and another valiant officer had killed two heinous absconding murderers, and there was no more uproar.
Originally, the muse planned to bury this matter directly, so as not to cause panic among people. But because so many people heard the gunshots that day, they had to cover it up in another way.
Ford was a little dissatisfied with this, originally he assisted the Alliance's Demon Division in dealing with a demon rebellion, which should be a high reward, and it was very likely that he would be promoted. After replacing the subject with a murderer, he was simply given a medal for valor.
Fortunately, the money he rewarded privately was not small, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
"Is this matter taken care of?" asked Ford at the police station.
"Of course, you know, I've always been fluid and seamless. Ford smiled and said, "Because George and his father are both dead, and there are no other relatives, ......."
So no one wanted to come and ask about the specifics.
The Muse sighed, it was a pity that two innocent lives were so easily buried in the abyss.
"Is there anything else you'd like to know, Mr. Muse?" Ford said, nodding.
Muse shook his head, "I still have some things to attend to there, I'll go first." Goodbye, Officer Ford. ”
"Goodbye, Mr. Muse. ”
Muse walked out the door slowly, and at the door, he vaguely saw a young police officer scrambling to accept the praise of the crowd, what seemed to be the frightened young man who had been with Ron and George last time.
Muse deliberately concealed Ron's existence in this matter, so after the newspaper report came out, it was logical that Bob was another heroic police officer on the news, and touted him as young, promising, courageous, and resourceful.
The Muse didn't look any further, he put on his hat, held the seal of the gods, and walked aimlessly down the street.
He still didn't understand something, which made him a little irritable.
Twins.
A newsboy walked up to the muse and said, "Would you like to buy a newspaper?"
"No, he doesn't. Before the muse could speak, someone next to him answered for him, it was Eve.
Eve looked at the little newsboy with a smile, "What he needs now is a cool cup of coffee, but I won't let you down, I'm going to buy a newspaper, how much?"
"Thank you for your attention, this beautiful lady. The newsboy handed Eve a brand new newspaper, "A copper plate, ma'am." ”
Eve picked out a copper plate from her handbag and handed it to the newsboy, then turned to look at Muse, "What worries you so much?"
The muse nodded, "I've been tracking him down for so long, and I never know what he's thinking. Until now, I felt like I was being led by the nose by him. ”
"Even though he's dead?"
The Muse was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes, even though he's dead." ”
"Let me guess, is it because of the twins?"
"I can't deny that that's one of the reasons, but I'm more worried about something else. The Muse replied, "In the days since Bit's death, I have always thought that Frank has no trace of him. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Two innocent people died, so to speak, at his hands. And it may have been nothing more than a trivial experiment he had done on a whim. ”
Eve walked silently, she didn't say a word.
"And we don't know what other experiments Bit has done, how many things he's done in the shadows for his madness. The muse muttered, "As I let my guard down, it thundered like thunder, and I could not help but wonder if he had left behind the seeds of the abyss in every place he passed." And whether these seeds have taken root and sprouted into deadly poisonous flowers. ”
"It's not your fault, Muse Brown. Eve reassured.
"I didn't blame myself, I just wondered if this was the fear of the abyss? Everyone who has been tainted with the breath of the abyss, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will always come down the mark of the abyss on the way he passes. And these marks of the abyss lurk in the shadows, waiting to reveal their terrifying minions to every traveler who passes by. ”
Eve replied, "Isn't this the meaning of the existence of the Demon Division?"
The muse was stunned, he straightened his hat and smiled: "Yes, this is the purpose of our existence. ”
"Let's change the subject, what about your student? Did you send him to the Enns library again?"
"You're talking about Ron? No, he's gone to find his sister. ”
"You're talking about the redhead?"
"You're spying on him?"
"Not really, but the girl was so dazzling, like a bright dawn, that I could see her at a glance. ”

"August Ron!"
Standing at the door of Anna's high school, Ron saw Anna walking over with her eyes wide.
Hell, this damn oppressive feeling!
Ron was sure that he didn't feel that pressure when he faced the demonic George!
"Do you really think you're going to be lawless if you find a new job, and why didn't you go back to Chauschen last Sunday?"
Ron hurriedly waved his hand, "Didn't I tell you? ”
"Yes!" said Anna, crossing her waist and becoming more aggressive, "but did you tell me that you won't have time to go home on Sunday?"
Ron touched his nose and smiled, he had indeed forgotten to say.
In fact, he had no idea that he would spend five days and five nights in the Ens Library!
Anna snorted, "You don't always make people worry, Ron, when will you learn to be sensible and know how to think about others when you do things?"
"I'm sorry, Anna. ”
Ron quickly changed the subject and said, "It's lunchtime, let's go find a restaurant to eat." Just in front of me, I knew there was a nice restaurant. ”
Anna squinted at Ron, "Are you going to rob?"
"Of course not, how could you think that?"
"So are you rich? Where does your money come from?"
Ron replied, "Because I studied hard, my leader rewarded me." ”
"Yes, I never knew there was such a good leader in the world, and you ask yourself, will you believe such a thing if you say it to yourself?"
Ron didn't know how to explain it, but in fact, the money was a reward for his work in killing the demon George. But can you tell Anna about this? Of course not!
You must know that he lied to be a police officer, Anna was originally firmly opposed, if Anna knew that he had an affair with those horrible creatures in books and newspapers, Anna would tear him up!
"Honestly, Ron!"
"I picked it up. ”
"Picked it up?" Anna raised her eyebrows, her eyes suddenly filled with joy, "How much?"
Ron smacked his lips, "Three silver coins." ”
"Three silver nests?" Anna clapped her hands, "Yours, Ron!"
Ron suddenly discovers that Anna is not so pedantic, in fact, she is a complete petty money fan.
"You don't have to go to a restaurant to eat, just find a bakery. Anna quickly calmed down, "You spent too much money on a pearl necklace for me last time, you can't spend money anymore, you know, there will be a lot of places where you have to spend money after you go to work." ”
"Actually, we don't have to be so economical......" Ron persuaded and noticed Anna's gaze, and then he said, "Well, eat bread, I like to eat bread." ”
The two walked side by side on the street, Ron holding a butter loaf in one hand, and Anna carrying a small satchel, looking very happy.
She hadn't been shopping in a long time.
"By the way, Ron, did you hear that? The cops killed a murderer on Lacey Boulevard. ”
Ron was shocked, and he pretended not to know, "Really, why haven't I heard of it?"
"Ron, you're so careless about your job, I can't believe you really want to be a sliver!" Anna frowned, "Shouldn't this be a big deal for your police department? ”
"Okay, I got it, Anna. By the way, how long do you have to face the entrance exam?"
"You'll always know how to change the subject," Anna complained, "and it's only about ten days." ”
"Good luck with your exams. ”
"Thanks," Anna nodded, and suddenly said, "By the way, I'll go to Branslin to get a job after the exams, just near Victoria University." ”
"Are you in such a hurry?" Ron frowned, "Why don't you take advantage of this rare vacation to have fun with your classmates?" ”
"Of course not for that, well, I'll admit, part of it was because of the tuition, but more importantly, I wanted to get used to life in Branslin in advance and get to know the prices there and the surroundings. I'm just sorry, brother. Anna looked up at Ron, "I can't prepare dinner for you on Sunday. ”
Ron's heart moved, and he smiled slightly and reached out to touch Anna's head, "Don't worry, Anna, I ......"
Anna looked at him dangerously.
Ron quickly withdrew his hand and laughed.
Anna didn't say anything, just looked at him with a blank face, and then slowly stretched out her hand.
Ron looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then crouched down slightly.
Anna rubbed his messy black hair and laughed out loud, "Okay, brother, it's not too early, I'll go first, I wish you a pleasant day." ”
Ron asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Today, Sunday, I need to go to Mrs. Jane's house for her daughter's lessons, and if I don't hurry up, I'll be late. Oh, yes!" Anna suddenly remembered something, took out a newspaper from her handbag and stuffed it into Ron's arms, "This is for you, take a look at the news on the front page, remember to pay attention to where you work in the future, don't always let me worry about it!"
"Bread!"
"I'm full. ”
Looking at Anna's flying red hair, Ron unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.
Remembering what Anna had said, he put the bread on a bench on the side of the street and opened the newspaper.
"Two valiant police officers killed two heinous murderers on Les Sei Boulevard. ”
Ron didn't understand something, what he didn't understand was why George and his father were smeared as murderers. You know, the two of them are the real victims in this matter.
Walking slowly into the Lowell Club, he smiled and greeted the familiar waitress.
Linda hurriedly replied with a smile, she was still blushing at her actions the day before yesterday.
Walking into the No. 28 private room, Muse was sitting in the private room tasting wine.
"I've seen your sister, haven't you?"
"Yes, Mr. Muse. ”
The muse noticed the newspaper in his hand and looked up at his face again, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
Ron nodded.
Muse quipped, "Isn't it because I didn't write you in the newspaper? But you know, this may lead to some unnecessary troubles and troubles. And you also have to understand that loneliness is a necessary quality for people who walk in the abyss and fog. ”
"No, not this. Ron replied, "I just want to know why George and his father are murderers? They are obviously victims, aren't they? And there have already been stories of demons in the newspapers, so why can't they just write about it?"
The muse put down his glass, he looked Ron seriously in the eye, and replied, "Let me tell you about this, Ron. We can report on the demons, but we can't report on the demons in the city, you know what I mean?"
Looking at Ron's puzzled face, Muse continued, "We need to let people know that there is danger in the world, but at the same time, we also need to let them know that danger is far away from them. ”
