The so-called "Singer's Annex" is the dormitory where the choir children usually live.

The choir is an organization that has been around for many years and is very mature.

He is also very good at managing his own chants.

According to An Jie, this group of chants were all selected by professional scouts at a young age.

Later, he traveled thousands of miles from all over the world to St. Lorcan's Courtyard and began to receive professional training in the "Singer's Annex".

Although it sounds cruel to let young children leave their homes at a young age.

However, because the working conditions offered by the choir are very attractive.

It is also a good choice for people with average living conditions.

If it is for the poor, it is more like a pie in the sky.

As long as a child is chosen to be a psalmist, not only will he be covered by the choir for all food, clothing, housing and transportation from the beginning of his training.

And even during the training period, they can receive half of the official job salary, which is about five quintalans.

You know, an adult farmer who works hard for a month may only have a few gold talans.

Children as young as five or six years old are paid five times a month for their work, as well as food, shelter and training.

Most importantly, the choir did a very decent job, with access to all kinds of big names and all kinds of solemn scenes.

In addition to this, the number of years of service as a psalmist is only up to the age of sixteen, which is not a long time.

That is, suppose a child is elected to the choir at the age of six.

Then in the next ten years, he will be able to earn a full few hundred gold tarans.

And you can also see the world in a big city like the Holy Capital, expand your network and so on.

With such good conditions, it's no wonder that there is always an endless stream of children in this "Singer's Courtyard".

Of course, for those who don't know what's going on, the choir is such a good place.

But in the eyes of Jiang Ember and An Jie, who knew what kind of filth and dirt was hidden inside.

It was so vast and far away that it looked like a huge, filthy birdcage.

There are probably many horrific sensational events happening every day.

The "Singer's Annex" was not far from the "Choir Headquarters", and the two soon arrived in this vicinity.

Look at the building that looks like a private school academy.

And after seeing the children coming in and out of the door, Jiang Yan couldn't help frowning.

It was the first time he had seen the chants working here.

In Anjie's words, the children selected by the choir are all very beautiful and cute.

And after seeing it with my own eyes at this time, this is exactly the case.

Early in the morning, Jiang Shen saw several children who walked out or walked in from the "Singer's Courtyard".

The boys ranged in age from seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen, and all of them were very delicate.

It's strange to describe a boy as sophisticated, but it's true.

Most of the boys who were picked by the choir looked so beautiful that they couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

They have lovely looks, delicate skin, and well-groomed hairstyles that look clean and pure.

If they were to wear their hair long and a cute little dress, there would be absolutely no difficulty in playing the girl.

Such a group of lovely boys, dressed in holy and solemn chants, stood in a row and sang hymns in unison with their voices that had not passed the voice change period.

At first glance, it sounds like a wonderful picture that is pleasing to the eyes and ears, and it makes people's hearts seem to be washed.

It's a pity that after knowing the dirtiness behind them, Jiang Yan couldn't look at them at all.

After all, under their seemingly holy and desirable work, there are all kinds of torture hidden

...... Or even death.

As if sensing Jiang Yan's complicated mood, An Jie patted him on the shoulder and sighed:

"Now is not the time to care about that, we have to focus on the work at hand."

"Hmm...... I'm just feeling a little sorry for them, don't worry, I'm not going to mess around now."

Although he felt that this group of children who were sent into the clutches of the devil were pitiful, Jiang Ember also knew that now was not the time to care about this.

The choir has been able to take root in the Holy Flame for many years, and it will not be easy to shake them.

Compared to this, it would be better to focus on Dorothy's thing.

After suppressing his mood, Jiang Ember also followed An Jie into the "Singer's Courtyard".

Because the two of them had "Mr. John's letter of introduction" on them.

Soon after entering, they were warmly welcomed by the nuns who worked here.

"Wait a minute, you two, I'll go and call little Ryan."

After leading Jiang Ember and An Jie to a secluded open-air courtyard, the fat nun, who seemed to be kind-eyed, turned her head and left with a smile.

Looking at the fat nun's back, An Jie made a "go die" gesture to her, and she also disdained the tea and snacks on the table.

Not long after, a delicate-looking little boy came over with some trepidation.

As his name suggests, he has short blond hair that looks like a kindergarten teacher, and he is cute and has a wild nature.

It can be seen that little Ryan is a little in awe of these two adults who met for the first time.

But he still mustered up the courage and came to An Jie and Jiang Yan and whispered:

"Are you the ones who came to help me find Awan?"

Before coming here, An Jie had already sent someone to contact Little Ryan, and he knew the intention of the two.

So An Jie looked left and right, and after finding that no one was nearby, he also whispered:

"Yes, your friend Awan disappeared into that woman's mansion three months ago, right?"

When he brought it up again, a hint of anger flashed in Little Ryan's eyes.

"Yes, Awan never came back after that performance, I asked the nuns several times and they all said that Awan had been picked up by his family in advance."

"Then how did you know that Awan didn't come home?"

"Because Awan told me that he was an orphan and had no home at all, so where did he come from to come home?"

...... I see, orphans, is that what it is?

After hearing Little Ryan's description, Jiang Ember also roughly knew how the choir operated.

They must have registered their psalms to know the birth of the children.

When encountering some very dirty, even very dangerous job offers.

The nuns of the choir should give priority to sending children who have been registered as orphans.

Anyway, they are orphans, and even if they die, no one will hold them accountable, and they can be easily fooled.

Friends like Little Ryan, who have some friendship with the orphan singers, even if they want to get to the bottom of it.

will only end up with an inconclusive ending because they are weak and young.

What a meticulous and vicious system of work...... It is no wonder that the choir has been able to go unpunished for so many years.

You know, this era is not a modern society, and there is no such detailed population management system.

In addition, the choir should also collude with the high-level of the Holy Flame, and it is estimated that more than a dozen children disappear every year, and it is estimated that it will not even be able to make a difference.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan took out the map of Dorothy's mansion and said to Little Ryan:

"You said you saw your friend being taken into a basement, can you point me to where it is?"

Although little Ryan is not very old, he has a good memory and is very smart.

He looked at the detailed map, closed his eyes and thought for a while,

He pointed to a wall in the corner of the first floor of the mansion.

The wall is located right in the dead end of the building's topography, an empty space where nothing appears to be on the map.

"There's a hanging lamp on the wall here, and a maid turns around on it, and a hidden passage appears in the corner."

After Little Ryan's friend Awan was taken away, he couldn't help but sneak back and lie on the tree outside to see all this.

So little Ryan can very clearly point out where he saw his friend disappear at that time.

At the same time, Jiang Ember also picked up a pen and drew a circle in that position.

"Good." He looked at the location on the map and smiled, "That way we can sneak in and find evidence of Dorothy's guilt."

Speaking of which, Jiang Ember glanced at Little Ryan and added, "Maybe you can save that friend of yours."

In fact, Jiang Yan didn't quite believe that after three months, Ava's unlucky child would still be alive.

But in front of Little Ryan, he couldn't be too pessimistic, so he had to comfort him like this.

Who knew that little Ryan shook his head when he heard this, and sighed:

"Don't comfort me, Awan should already be more than lucky, I'm not a fool, I guessed it a long time ago."

Although Ryan Jr. doesn't seem to be very old, he is also a social person who comes out early to work.

In addition, I grew up in a place like the choir that is harmonious on the surface, but in fact there is a turbulent undertide.

This child's mind is also obviously more mature than that of ordinary peers, and it is definitely not good for him to treat him in the same way as a child.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan was also a little speechless, so he could only pat Little Ryan on the shoulder comfortingly.

But now that I've got the location of Dorothy's ghost beast's basement and the approximate way to enter it.

Jiang Ember and An Jie also quickly left the "Singer's Courtyard" and walked towards Dorothy's mansion.

Of course, it is said that Dorothy's mansion is actually in the interior of the Doge's Palace.

As the de facto leader of the entire Holy Flame, the position of the Governor is equivalent to that of the Emperor in the Holy Flame, and he has great power.

Because of this, the architectural layout of the Doge's Palace is also extraordinarily magnificent.

From a practical point of view, this place is not so much the Doge's Mansion as it is the Governor's Compound.

The high walls enclosed a vast and huge space in the bustling area of the center of the Holy Capital.

Looking inside from the outside of the wall, you can see many magnificent buildings standing inside.

These buildings, one by one, were where the Governor and his family lived...... Naturally, it also includes Anjie's former mansion.
