Book 862 The Wandering Bird Goes Missing
The Temple City Medical Association's medical associations have been in a state of massive panic in recent days. About a week ago, the first case of a strange fever appeared in the city. The symptoms of the patient are very simple, just like the common cold with a high fever, but the temperature is not as high as that of a cold, but it is more efficient to deprive the patient of mobility.
Originally, there were only a few cases of this disease, and almost all doctors treated it as a common cold. After all, it is late autumn and the climate is getting cooler, which is the high incidence period of such minor diseases and disasters.
And after two more days, the number of people in the city who were sick with fever increased. Some doctors have found that most of the patients' homes will have a large black beetle that has not been seen before. The patient himself said he had seen the bug recently. Two days ago, the concept of a 'new type of fever' was proposed at a discussion at the Medical Association, and it was widely accepted. The doctors exchanged information a little, and found that the disease did not seem to be contagious, and it was rare to get sick en masse.
Strange bugs of strange fevers, these two things were quickly linked. It was not until the seventh day of the illness that the Physicians' Association decided to warn the temple and the lord of the castle that they would begin to prevent the plague.
The country of the east had been mired in plague for some time before, but now that the weather was cooler, the plague was controlled by temperature-≤ and did not spread to the Temple City. Now there is a completely different epidemic from the epidemic, and the source of infection may be the strange bug that does not know when it appears in the city, so you need to be vigilant.
In order to better make the city lord and the temple pay attention to this sudden illness, the Physician Association has collected information on many patients. According to intelligence, it seems that there are outbreaks in various parts of the Holy City, except for the slums.
"Why are the slums all right?" the doctors asked themselves the same question after receiving the investigation report, as is usually the case that slums are hotbeds of disease. Most infectious diseases come from there, and this is the exception.
Some of the doctors gave their own answers very lightly, "Could it be that the insects from the source of the infection have some kind of world in the slums? Maybe those insects are afraid of the rats in the slums." ”
For this kind of answer, the physicians just listen to it casually and use it as an alternative. If the castle lord really asked himself such a question, it seemed that he could only prevaricate with this answer.
Zhou Shu followed a group of little girls to the sparrow's house. Seeing a large group of people appear without warning, Sparrow's mood was a little complicated.
I heard that the sparrow had come to a friend, and the dove and the bird sister and brother were busy helping to greet them. They lived in the suburbs and didn't have a servant, and there was really nothing at home that could entertain people, which made the two of them a little embarrassed.
The sparrows and night bees are not particularly familiar with these people, and when she was in the girls' home, she basically spent all her time carrying water and sleeping, and had little spare time to communicate with others. Even if she has occasional free time, she contributes to her only good friend, Youniao, which makes her more outlied.
The night bee also knows the nature of sparrows. As soon as he appeared, he said what he meant.
"We're all candidates for God's companions, and I think we should sit down and talk, and there should be a lot to talk about. ”
The tiger girl and Zhou Shu, two outsiders, sat on one side, and the six orphan girls from the girls' home gathered around the round table, and the atmosphere was very bad. Due to the existence of the Otis and the destruction of the girls' home, the other five girls have some opinions about her.
When Sparrow heard about the destruction of the girls' home at the round table, she chose to put on a sad face out of politeness. For her. That place is like hell, and there is better than any place in the world. It's just a hell to destroy. It should be a good thing, but it's just a pity for the orphan girls who were involved and lost their lives.
Otis sat on a stool with her legs crossed, her posture quite unladylike. Seeing that everyone was complaining about themselves because of the incident in the girls' home, she felt a little aggrieved. She was equally saddened by the destruction of the girls' home, but it was not something she wanted to see.
"Since you are all worried about the affairs of the girls' home...... "Ottis said to the crowd with a straight face, "...... Then let's go to the head of the chamber of commerce and arrest him and kill him. It is considered to avenge the dead. How?"
"Murder?!" A table of girls heard Otis's words, and suddenly found that she seemed to have some generation gap with her. "Shouldn't he be arrested and sent to the court for conviction?"
Hearing this, Ottis glanced at his companions, "How to convict? So is the sparrow who provided the weapon guilty of the same crime?
The sparrow couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the topic was forced to come to him by Otis. "Ottis is right. There is really no need for a person who does such a thing to judge him or anything. ”
Night Bee, Crane Rhine, and Cherished Night will feel a strong cultural difference, and they may wonder why Sparrow and Otis can easily advocate such a thing as 'killing'.
Zhou Shu and the Tiger Girl listened on the side, laughing helplessly. It is more difficult to take the first step in such a thing as killing, but you will get used to killing and killing, and then you will feel numb to killing for at least a while, and then you will gradually become afraid of life and return to normal.
God and Zhou Shu, who are completely indifferent to such things as killing, decided to go out for a walk and let these little girls quarrel by themselves, and they couldn't intervene when they sat here anyway.
The two asked the siblings if they could let themselves see the army made by the sparrows. All they know is that the sparrows are hoarding power like Otis, but it is not very clear how much they are hoarding.
The siblings didn't know about the candidate gods and the selection, they just thought that they were sparrows' friends who came to play. Although it was a little scary to listen to their chat, the two didn't think deeply. Now I've heard that someone wants to see the army of warriors, and they're happy to lead the way.
Following the sister and brother out of the door, Zhou Shu casually swept it with the Book of Summoning to know where the metal ball monsters were hiding. In fact, the spider warriors were not hidden, just lined up in the backyard to wait. Due to the incident of the dove being held hostage last night, there were still several armored samurai dangling around the patrol near the courtyard.
"It's scary. Zhou Shu commented on those armored warriors who walked with a limp, and the villa that the sister and brother had been idle for a long time also looked a little scary.
As soon as I saw the spider warrior standing on several acres of land, before the tiger girl and Zhou Shu could sigh, they heard a noise on the other side of the house, as if someone had rushed out of the door.
Zhou Shu and the Tiger Girl had just left. The girls' round table was completely broken. They wanted to discuss whether they could join forces to do something, such as specific measures and details for taking in orphans in girls' homes. Before that, though, Sparrow felt it was time to deal with Razor and his mercenary legions.
Similar to Ottis's opinion, Sparrow hopes that his friends can help him out of the razor's trouble, after all, he almost killed the pigeon last night. The sparrow was worried about it all night.
Night Bee is very resistant to killing people, and strongly disapproves of this kind of behavior. For the first time in her life, Ottis has a crush on Sparrow, agreeing to help her deal with Razor, and then the two of them go together to catch the head of the Chamber of Commerce and deal with him.
As a result, two factions appeared in the girls' camp, the two who had an army of metal and a white ape who advocated killing the guys who got in the way, and Cherish, Night Bee, and Crane Rhine, who didn't want their friends to continue to cause trouble. As for the stork, she abstained.
And just like that, the six of them went out arguing. Putis wants to mobilize his army and merge with the Sparrows to protect his own security. The combined strength of the two of them could probably wipe out the human forces of the Temple City, and the Night Bee was anxious when he heard what they said.
Before she didn't let Ottis make trouble all over the world, she didn't listen, and the result was obvious to everyone, which made Night Bee quite angry. Now it's a good thing, the unlearned Otis is going to make an even bigger mess, and the number of troops has even increased. It made her so angry that she almost wanted to hit someone.
When Zhou Shu and the Tiger Girl rushed over, the six of them were still arguing, in order to persuade them. The two also got involved in a rare way, and after understanding the situation, they were adored by the naïve thoughts of these children.
"Alright, don't be busy. Zhou Shu and the Tiger Girl, as adults, decided to stand up and help these girls. "The head of the Chamber of Commerce, and the leader of the mercenaries, the two of us are responsible for helping you get them back. Is that okay?"
The tiger girl crossed her hands on her hips, counting the nights of her family, "If you know that there is an enemy, you must solve it quickly, and let it go, no matter if something big happens." You kids can't solve it, just get a reliable adult to help!"
Zhou Shu doesn't have a lot of contact with these girls. However, a few appearances give a sense of reliability. The Tiger Girl as a candidate god is also very kind and powerful. Two people assured that this prevented Otis from calling her monkeys here.
The girls, who had no point of contention, finally quieted down and returned to the negotiating table. After a little calculation, they remembered that there were some other things to do today, such as finding the birds, and then finding a place to live for the children in the girls' home and someone who could take better care of them. As for the problem of money, the green stork casually flashed his wrist and solved it.
Not long ago, the green stork was still restricted in her freedom, and she didn't know when she could leave the slum so generously. And after leaving, she even wanted to go back there, she was used to life there.
When the sparrow heard that he was going to find the birds, he was very excited. "I know where the birds work...... Belch...... Let's go find her!"
She was also assigned to work in the same place, and although she did not know the exact location of the place, she knew the name and surname of the owner, and it was easy to find it. She had thought that the selection of the main god would set off a bloody storm and make her sword face with her companions, but she was ready for this, so she never contacted Youniao, not wanting to involve her. Now that the situation has completely changed and a peace agreement has been reached, she is willing to use her strength to fight for a better life for her friend Youniao.
The purpose was determined, and the girls went into the city under the escort of the tiger girl to look for the birds, Zhou Shu didn't want to be a wallflower around these girls, and used the excuse of looking for the head of the chamber of commerce and the head of the mercenaries to separate from them.
For other people's troubles, Zhou Shu is too lazy to deal with them. said that he was helping to find someone, but in fact he separated from the group of girls and went straight back to his hotel.
Ou Na and Que Xi are already idle in this city and are about to get moldy, but fortunately, Zhou Shu taught them a few ways to play playing cards, when the three of them are there, they can fight the landlord, and when the two of them are there, they can draw ghost cards. Zhou Shu, who returned to the hotel, played with the two girls while holding cards, and lamented the lack of entertainment in this world.
After playing cards until the evening, the night bee and the crane Rhine appeared out of nowhere, and they looked solemn and came to ask for help.
"What's wrong with the two ladies?" Zhou Shu dropped his cards, basically resigned himself to his fate, and was ready to serve the two of them.
As soon as Night Bee and Crane Rhine opened their mouths, they were shocked, "Our companion called Wandering Bird is missing!"
Zhou Shu tried very hard to put on a surprised expression, in fact, he didn't want to participate in it at all. After inquiring about the situation, I found out that the owner of the bird said that she fled and disappeared shortly after work, and she could not be found at all.
Ou Na coughed on the side, indicating that she had something to say. Zhou Shu knew what this guy was going to say, she had said before about the assignment of jobs to beautiful girls in the girls' home, and Zhou Shu was very clear. Later, I listened to her personal experience in Letis, and confirmed Ouna's description.
In Zhou Shu's opinion, the disappearance of the wandering bird should be very simple, it was the victimization of the master's family, and it is very likely. As for the little girls who don't know the sinister nature of the world, Master Zhou is too lazy to talk about them.
"She may not like the work over there, she may have been beaten and scolded by the master's family over there, and it is normal to run away or something. ”
Saying something against his will, Zhou Shu carefully observed the expressions of Night Bee and Crane Rhine, and determined that the two of them wanted to help him find it. Remembering what the tiger girl said in the morning, she said 'reliable adult', obviously the two girls felt that he was very reliable as an adult, and they were not ready to be polite.
Zhou Shu didn't really want to tell them the truth, generally speaking, a little girl had fallen into the mouth of a tiger for so long, even if she was rescued, she would probably become very miserable. From all aspects, he really didn't want to tell these innocent little girls the tragic truth that might appear, but the investigation could still help, but he didn't necessarily have to tell them the truth.
This small request of Night Bee and Crane Rhine was not a problem for Zhou Shu. After following the two of them two blocks, the mansion where the bird used to work appeared in front of them. Zhou Shu asked the two girls to wait for him outside the door, and he was going to go in and arrest the male owner of the house, and go somewhere to interrogate him. Now this dark day is just the right time to do this. In this regard, the two girls had no opinion, so Zhou Shu entered over the wall very lightly.
Night Bee and Crane Rhine, who were waiting outside the courtyard walls of the mansion, stood in place for a while, and then began to worry.
"Shall we go in and have a look?" Crane Rhine ti yì, she was afraid that Zhou Shu would be in trouble. Night Bee thought for a second before nodding, grabbed Crane Rhine's hand, and the two of them entered a ghost state together and disappeared in place. (To be continued......)
