Chapter 37 is slightly more informative
Late at night, a large family sat around a shabby table.
An exhausted father, a wrinkled mother, and seven skinny children.
In this family, all the children have white hair and red eyes, except for the father and mother, who have brown hair and brown eyes.
The children had beautiful faces, emaciated figures, blank eyes, and dull thoughts, like goblins that dwelt in the Yellow Springs.
In a cramped hut, the cramped living room could only accommodate such a dining table.
The table was full of delicacies that were not available to their class.
These delicacies were brought back by Vir from the banquet of Young Master Ji'an, and they were stored in the cold cellar for two days, and some of them had gone rancid, but no one was willing to eat them.
At the dinner table, Will held a stack of papers in his hand.
He read it as if it were a holy decree.
"Regulations on the Coexistence of Ji Zhou and Lingzhimu": After one hundred and thirty-six years of confrontation with Lingzhimu, Jizhou was finally overwhelmed and defeated by an acid rain from Lingzhimu, and the people of Jizhou were willing to coexist with the uninvited guest Lingzhimu and did not interfere with each other."
"Warrior Alliance Entry Permit: Now, Ji Zhou no longer needs to compete with Lingzhimu, in order to deal with the disbandment of the Brave Legion that cultivates the strong in war, its remnant organization has been renamed the Brave Alliance."
"Permission to enter the city: According to the final ruling of our high-level, the shadow witch - McVall is allowed to enter the city, but please remember that the shadow witch is not human, her thinking is stiff, her movements are numb, and she retains obvious hostility towards humans.
Allowing the higher-ups to enter the city this time is a slack, but I swear that as long as one of our side survives, I will do everything in my power to kill the Shadow Enchantress and never allow it to merge into the power struggle! β
"Banquet Invitation: Welcome to the banquet on June 12th, let us congratulate the city lord on his 244th birthday!"
""The Title of Official of McVulle": We have discovered that Ms. McVall has a strong talent for occultism, and she is specially appointed as a third-class official, and we expect her to make outstanding contributions to Jizhou City."
"Jizhou Daily": The Zenguss official came back from the dead? Why did the deceased Zenguss official reappear on the podium? Why did the official Ctangus cheat to death, and why did his temperament change drastically after 'coming back from the dead'? β
"Investigation Report: Master, according to the investigation of his subordinates, the Blood Rabbit clan used to sacrifice Lingzhi Wood in the early years has all been wiped out, and there are no survivors."
"An Anonymous Letter: Do Gods Really Exist?"
"An Anonymous Reply: Gods? Oh, no, of course it doesn't exist, do you know why the people of Jizhou City want to live in high places? It's just that the acid rain has been frequent in the past hundred years to compete with the Lingzhi Wood, and it is believed that sending lowly sinners into the sky can calm the wrath of nature. Now it's faith, it's glory, hahaha...... How ridiculous! β
ββ¦β¦β
After reading the entire nine documents, Vir calmly put the documents on the table.
Between the dinner tables, a room of old and young people looked indifferent, as if it was the first time they heard these truths, and they seemed to have known it in their hearts for a long time.
After a long time, the head of the family, the father, said, "Let's eat." β
It was the best meal they had in all the years they had been poor.
The children filled their stomachs with food, and took small bites of the rancid meat dishes on the table, but it was still the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives, and their parents almost burst into tears.
Finally, a child spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the table, never to be seen again.
As if they hadn't seen that, the people on the side continued to swallow the food on the table.
Then the second and third children fell.
It wasn't until the sixth child also collapsed that the food on the table was finally soaked in the blood spit out by the children.
The whole time, Veil didn't eat a single bite of food.
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Brother, Sister, ......"
He looked at them with pity, he was a soul who did not belong to this age, but who had suffered enough of the suffering of this age.
"Go away in peace."
"As the last child of the clan, I will fulfill the great mission that has been passed down to this day," said Vir solemnly. β
His parents finally smiled in relief.
"Good boy, good boy......"
Eventually, the two of them collapsed on the table, and the last meal finally calmed down.
And Weir also stood up, picked up a box of matches, and his father was reluctant to drink the inferior liquor for a year.

"Let's get to know each other, this gentleman, I am the owner of Night Street, and my real name is Dayman."
As he spoke, Dayman lifted the mask of the black sheep, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
Since the owner of the night street is full of sincerity, Zhou Xinyi is not ambiguous.
He took off his mask, "Zhou Xinyi, it's a judge." β
"Sure enough, it's the judge who has been making a lot of noise this time," Daywen smiled helplessly, "Is there anything to find me?" β
"Yesterday, the body of the Lippel official on the execution table was taken by the heretics and fled to the night street, do you know their movements?"
"Yes," the day question said dryly, "but I can't say." β
Zhou Xin was stunned, "Why?" β
"Because I'm gag."
"Mr. Judge, you also know that there are certain rules that can survive in a place like Night Street to this day. β
"The rule I must follow is that I can't betray the Ji family in Ji Zhou City."
On one side is the master of Jizhou City, and on the other hand, there are foreign judges, who these two choose to help, and the day must be clear.
"So this matter has something to do with the Ji family?" Zhou Xinyi said, "The city lord can't do this, and Ji Lin doesn't have such connections and motives, so it's Young Master Ji Xun?" β
At the juncture of the battle for the position of the city lord, Young Master Ji Xun colluded with the pagan sect to do something to destroy his future? What's in this picture?
Daytime asked "oops", and said with exaggerated acting skills, "This is what the judge guessed himself, not what I revealed!" β
Zhou Xinyi: "......"
"If you want me to say, let them rob them," said Dayman, "it wasn't a real corpse anyway, and their plan failed from the start." β
Indeed, when Zengus found out that they needed Lippel's body, he burned the real body on the spot, leaving nothing of ashes left.
It's just that even the owner of Night Street knows about replacing the corpse?
"From a occult point of view, there is really nothing to be afraid of," Zhou Xinyi said, "but they have violated the laws of Ji Zhou. β
"What was the purpose of those men taking the body?"
"It depends on what they believe in," asked Day, "and that's all I can give, Mr. Judge." β
The group that robbed the body had already left, and now there was no point in thoroughly investigating the night street, and it was already a great gain to be able to get Ji Xun's name.
Zhou Xinyi said, "I have another personal question I want to ask. β
"What exactly is the Psi Wood, and what is the significance of the Psi Wood to my questions when I chop down dead branches?"
"No one knows what Reich asked, sir, and it asks different questions to everyone."
"As for the Reichi Wood itself......" Dayman suddenly smiled, "I found that it was able to move. β
"Actually, I used to be a drifter outside the city, and when I first came to Jizhou City, I had a question - since the Lingzhi Wood is the benefactor and treasure of Jizhou City, why is it hidden in the lightless underground?"
"The more a human being has a decent and precious treasure, the more they want to show it and show it off, don't they?"
"And Lingzhimu is treated like this, why don't you want to leave?"
"The history is too long, and the key to it is deliberately buried, and sometimes, whether you believe it or not is not that important. β
"Objectively speaking, the Psychic Wood is an ancient creature with intelligence, and its wisdom enables it to understand the human mind, and it is enough for you, as a traveler, to know this."
"There are some truths, and delving into them will only add to the troubles."
Zhou Xinyi looked at Sun in some surprise and asked, "You don't look like you can say these words." β
Dayman looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Because I look too casual and carefree?" β
"Mr. Judge, freedom means freedom, and freedom means no shackles."
"If you want to not be bound by shackles, you have to pay the price of ignorance."
Zhou Xinyi looked at the day with more appreciation.
"It's not too early, although the night street is a night street, there are many young ladies and ladies, and it is not suitable to open too late."
"Mr. Judge, you can take advantage of the last minute to do a little more."
Zhou Xinyi nodded, "Anyway, thank you for your cooperation." β
"It's a matter of duty."
Zhou Xinyi had just stood up when a thumb-sized bat flew out from behind him and burrowed into his sleeve.
He quietly said goodbye to Dayman before taking the bat out of his sleeve.
As soon as he saw the bat, he immediately had sound waves invisible to the naked eye burrowing into Zhou Xinyi's ears.
The theft of important ciphertexts in Young Master Ji'an's mansion? Is it still something to do with Will?
Zhou Xinyi recalled that he had indeed seen Vir on the day of the banquet, and he had come and gone quietly, and he was indeed the first suspect in stealing the ciphertext.
But it's useless to tell him about it.
He is indeed not an enemy, but he is not a friend, and the heirs act for their own interests, and he is not qualified to interfere.
Could it be that he could still find Will and say to him face to face, "You give me the ciphertext"?
Leaving the place where he was invited to talk, Zhou Xinyi suddenly felt that the night street was much more noisy.
Although it used to be very noisy, compared to the clamor and laughter just now, the movement in the night street now is more similar to the horror of an accident.
Sure enough, several frightened young ladies ran in front of Zhou Xinyi, as if they were hiding from something frightened.
Zhou Xinyi drew his musket and immediately headed in the direction they had fled.
After arriving at the scene, Zhou Xinyi found that the riot was caused by the heirs, and the monsters released by the trainers were rampant, and some of the inheritors took the opportunity to sweep away the treasures of the night street, which was their usual trick.
But not far away, Zhou Xinyi saw the masked Myler official, silently pulling out the accessories on his waist after the bookstore was overturned by a rampaging monster.
As a powerful military attachΓ©, there is no doubt about the strength of the Myler officials.
This time, the heirs here kicked the iron plate.
