Volume 1 Tarot Apostles Chap.20 Hypocritical Justice

"I personally took them to the hospital, and now everyone present immediately went to the watchtower to assemble, and when I come back, I want to know the details of the whole thing!" Bessengret gave instructions to everyone with the utmost seriousness.

Everyone, including Lesna, seemed to be able to hear the terrifying sound of the mighty iceberg rushing out of the almost calm and unforgiving voice and commands, and the strong will that could not be disobeyed, as if they dared to squeak the slightest squeak of disapproval, they would be smashed here.

No one even dared to make a sound, there was a heavy silence in the air, and everyone turned and ran towards the watchtower, and the moment Lesna turned around, she glanced at Wallace with some reluctance, but still followed her friends and left the place.

Lesna and her friends arrived at the conference room on the top floor of the watchtower, sat at the conference table and waited for their commander-in-chief to return, and after ten minutes, Bessengret pushed the door open, the expression on her face unrelieved.

"The two of them are fine, they just passed out, and they can be discharged from the hospital after a few days of rest, Lesina, what's going on?" Bessengret stood at the table, casting a stern glance at her.

But Lesna was not afraid of the gaze, and she stood up and told Bessengret the truth, while Adity sat at the table in silence and did not say a word.

"Is this true, Adya, it was Boros who went to find Lesna first." After listening to Lesna's account, Bessengret looked at Adity again.

Surprisingly, Adia nodded without hesitation, and then she stood up to face the commander-in-chief, and said calmly: "He wanted to do this a long time ago, saying that he was looking for a tarot apostle duel as a pastime, but I knew that that was his purpose, and his self-motivation for Warcraft was limited to the level of handling work, and he was unconscious." ”

This sentence shocked everyone to look at each other, Bessengret sighed lightly, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with both hands and slowly spoke: "This is also my negligence, I thought that after hiding the identity of all the tarot apostles from him, he would stop a little, so when he came to ask me about the resonance of tarot cards, I told him some things about the queen cards." ”

"I thought he would be like Maine, he would only go out of curiosity to see who the holder was, but I didn't expect to attack Lesna, sorry, Lesna, this was my mistake." After saying that, Bessengret slowly opened her eyes, put her hands on the table, and threw a guilty and tired look at Lesna.

"No, it's okay......" Seeing that look, Lesna couldn't bear it, but just shook her head.

Seeing that Lesna didn't say anything, Bessengret propped up the table with both hands, and after looking around with her eyes, her tone finally eased: "I already know, I'll check with them when they wake up, and if it's correct, I will punish Boros accordingly, you are all working very hard today, you can move on your own, let's have a good rest, and the meeting is over." ”

At the end of the meeting, Lesna was relieved to see Bessengret pat her forehead with her hand, as if to keep herself awake, and turn around and walk out of the conference room.

While everyone was talking in a low voice, Aditya walked up to Lesna, bowed to her and said, "I'm really sorry, Lesna. Then, she turned around and bowed deeply to everyone, an apologetic look appeared on her face, and her voice remained calm: "I'm sorry, my brother has caused you trouble, and I will teach him a good lesson later." ”

"It's hard for you to have a brother like that, Adeya?" Lucas asked, holding his cheek with one hand and looking at her, while Aditya just shook her head slightly, turned her head and hurried out of the room.

As the crowd slowly dispersed, Lesna followed her gaze when she spotted Lulu standing in the doorway, staring worriedly into the conference room.

Maine was the only one left in the huge room, his fingers crossed on his knees, and he sat in his place like a dim jewel that had lost its beauty, his face revealing an indescribable frustration.

"I'm going to help you ask, I happen to be curious about what that Grim Reaper card is all about." Lesna walked up to Lulu and patted her on the left shoulder with her hand.

"Thank you, Lesna! Then please, remember to tell me the results tomorrow! Lulu excitedly hugged her with her arms and went back with Andoros.

The two of them were the only ones left in the empty corridor and conference room, and Lesna walked unhurriedly to Maine with her hands in her coat pockets.

"I thought you were fighting for so long, and you would drag your injured tired body back to rest." Maine whispered without looking up.

"Hmph, I'm a person who fights a lot, and I'm quite energetic, and when you see the man's face that the card becomes, you seem to be scared out of your mind, and you lose your composure as a detective, it's not like you, Lulu would be very worried if she knew." Lesna sat cross-legged on the spot facing him.

Main lowered his eyes and did not speak, but took out his usual black mini computer from his bosom, tapped it on the keyboard a few times, and handed it to Lesna.

She took it with both hands, and there was an electronic file on the screen, and the person who appeared on the file photo was exactly the same as the young man who changed the Grim Reaper card, his name was Gao Shan Oath, twenty-two years old, and the age was marked with deceased in parentheses.

"...... this?" Lesna asked, looking at him quizzically.

"A year ago, I was in charge of a serial murder case abroad, the murderer was this man named Gao Shan Oath, his father was jealous of three colleagues because of his high job, the three of them conspired to kill his father, and vowed to avenge his father, killed all three of them in a row, after I found him as the murderer, I should have handed him over to the Sheriff's Office, butβ€”" Maine clasped his fingers tighter, making his knuckles pale and his expression darker.

Lesna stared at his face worriedly, waiting for him to continue.

"I did something stupid, and I was... Enjoy the thrill of forcing the murderer to death, keep putting pressure on the oath, and finally... He was in front of the police officers... Crashed into the wall and killed himself......" Maine closed his eyes in pain, his hands on his forehead, and his voice became low and hoarse.

"What!? … This... You ......" Lesna gasped and shook her head in disbelief, a look of horror on her face.

"After that, there were many times when I was woken up by nightmares and had to rely on the moon card to fall asleep, which is a place where I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life, and from that time on, after I found the murderer, I was dealt with by the Sheriff's Bureau, and I didn't do superfluous stupid things anymore." Main slowly opened his eyes, his hands clasped tightly around his drooping head.

This made Lesna sigh softly, looked at him and whispered, "Does Lulu know about this?" ”

"She knew that after this incident was over, I was stuck in a quagmire of self-blame and despair, and it was always she who comforted and accompanied me, cheered me up again, and she warmed me like sunshine." Speaking of Lulu, Main lowered her hands and looked at Lesna, a smile of embarrassment and shame on her face.

It's dangerous, I thought he was going to say that Lulu was like the sun in the next second, but maybe that's why the sun card would choose Lulu, Lesna couldn't help but sweat in her heart, and secretly speculated in her heart.

She then grabbed a few peach-flavored lollipops from her pocket, stuffed them into Myne's palm, and said, "This is Lulu's favorite peach-flavored lollipop, you can try it." ”

Seeing the lollipop lying in the palm of his hand, Maine finally showed a relaxed chuckle, he pinched a lollipop with his fingers, and a nostalgic expression appeared on his face: "She has always loved peach-flavored snacks, and they haven't changed over the years, thank you, Lesna." Main smiled and put the lollipop in his pocket.

"Cheer up, fight against the soul chosen by death, I know it's not easy, but Lulu and all of us will definitely help you." Lesna got up from the ground and patted Myne on the back with her hand.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lulu told me that you are a trustworthy person, when I first saw you, I didn't believe it, now I think she is right, if you can, would you mind coming to my house, I have something important to tell you, this is not the place to talk." With that, Maine also stood up from his seat.

"No problem." Lesna nodded, and followed Mahn out of the watchtower.

The golden afterglow faded and the pale blue sky darkened, and together they walked down the road to the street where there was traffic, and together they took a taxi to Maine's mansion.

It was a large villa that was not inferior to the Wallace family, and Lesna followed Maine into the gate, and the perennial ornamental flowers were planted on both sides, which looked vibrant and colorful, and two male maids opened the main door for them.

The furnishings and dΓ©cor in the interior are full of retro atmosphere, the style is very elegant and comfortable, very different from the freshness and brightness of Wallace's house, Lesna found that there were two cats sleeping on the sofa, one with silver-gray fur and the other with white and orange, they opened their eyes when they heard the sound, and continued to squint and sleep.

"Is this your cat, it's so cute." Lesna saw them, and inadvertently showed a relaxed expression.

"Well, yes, the silver gradient is called steamed buns, and the white orange is called coffee, and they are all sticky dew." Main replied to her with a smile.

The two of them walked down the hall, stepping on the wooden staircase with a dull thud until they reached the second floor.

Main opened the door on the left side of the second floor and invited Lesna in, and when she entered, the whole room was arranged in an orderly manner, and when she saw several bookshelves displayed on the wall, she immediately realized that this was a study.

Next to the bookshelf was a matching white table and chair, and there was a silver laptop on the table, and the small wooden bookshelf next to the computer was crowded with many file bags and blue folders, Lesna guessed that these were McNe's case records and materials, and Maine walked in and closed the door of the study.

"What important thing are you going to say?" Lesna saw Maine walking to the desk and asked him curiously.

"Something about tarot cards." Maine reached open the drawer, took out a rectangular transparent sheet that was slightly thicker than the page, and turned to hand it to Lesna.

"It's... This is......?! Lesna took the flake with both hands, looked down at what was inside, and was dumbfounded.

Tightly wrapped in a flake was a tarot card with Paladin Percival, dressed in silver armor, holding a silver sword in both hands, looking straight ahead with a resolute expression, and the name of the card written underneath: "11-Justice".

"Hey, why do you have two tarot cards!? What's going on?! Lesna held the slice in both hands, and cold sweat broke out on her head.

"My Justice Card and Moon Card were both flown in when I became a detective and chose me, but only the Moon Card can transform unhindered." With that, Main took out the moon card and handed it to Lesna.

She looked down and saw that the face of the moon card was also Paladin Percival, but in this card he was only dressed in white and kneeling on the grass, looking up at the crescent moon in the night sky.

Mai En paused for a second or two, then said: "I have only transformed once with the Justice Card, the Justice Card has the ability to attack, and after the oath happened, the Justice Card emitted a light that echoed the Moon Card, and it used the power of the Moon Card to seal itself, and it has always maintained the status quo. Lesna saw the loss and guilt in his eyes.

"It's because of what you did... It goes against the idea of the Justice card, so that's why it's like this? Lesna cautiously voiced her guess, for fear of hurting him again.

"That's right, that's right, although it chose me as its holder, it didn't recognize me, of course, I didn't tell Commander Beson about this, I don't want to disappoint him." Myne's gaze fell on the two cards, his tone flat but unable to hide the melancholy in them.

"Now that you realize your mistake and work hard to correct it, it's only a matter of time before it's recognized, and you'll do it, trust yourself." After giving him back the two cards, Lesna patted him on the arm with her hand as a gesture of comfort.

This sentence finally brought the old smile to Main's face, and after he took back the two cards, he conjured a pink rose from his right hand and handed it to Lesna: "Thank you very much, I feel much better to be able to talk to people about the gloom that has accumulated in my heart." ”

And Lesna just glanced at the pink rose, let out a self-deprecating snort from her nose, tilted her head and crossed her waist with one hand, and said with a mocking smile on her face: "Hey, I almost forgot that you are the son of a magician, I am a woman who can only fight with her fists and has nothing to do with flowers, so you can leave it to Lulu." ”

With that, Lesna turned and walked to the door of the study.

"It's too late, do you need me to send someone to take you back?" Maison quickly took out his phone and asked.

"Thanks, no, I can walk back on my own." Lesna put her hand on the doorknob.

This made Main a little anxious: "But at this late hour, you will meet bad people-"

"Ha, who are you underestimating, I'm bad, fighting is the same as eating for me, thank you for your kindness, then I'll be out of company, come on, detective, you have to show momentum to face that guy!" Lesna opened the study door and turned to point at Maine and say these words.

She saw that Maine was stunned for a moment, then nodded at her with a relieved smile, and Lesna walked away with an uninhibited smile on her face.
