21 Familiar but strange
The remote coast outside the port city is silent at night.
The sea that constantly sets off the waves and crashes against the reef is like an endless abyss at this moment, obscure, dark, and if you look closely, it is enough to breathe the heart and make people feel creepy.
At the edge of the abyss, a small speedboat was docked, brand new white, without any markings, as if it were a newly created product in a factory.
In the hazy moonlight, it was like a miserable white ghost.
At some point, the ghost was touched by someone's hand on the back of the tail, and then it was defiled as if it were gone, and there was no longer the horror it had before.
Because the two chickens in the soup had already rushed out from the surface of the sea, one after the other, and while panting for breath, they rode on it unceremoniously.
"Damn, these damn hyenas, they didn't kill their whole family, what are you doing so closely!"
It was a bald man who was scolding, and as he spoke, he removed the hood that was tightly wrapped around his head.
When he looked at the black-haired boy behind him who was shivering from soaking in the sea, the big man was a little puzzled.
"But how come you kid seem to know that someone is coming to save you, and you deliberately run under the bridge to sit?"
Honestly, this move has helped him a lot.
Otherwise, in the face of that tight giant net, he doesn't know where to start.
And even if there is a place to start, what are the chances of successfully rescuing the person, it is also a question.
After all, the enemy forces are too huge, and it makes you desperate to think about it.
How could it be as easy as now, except for the consumption of a precious diving prop, there were no twists and turns?
"The police of York Harbour, the chief of police."
Andy in the back seat clutched his travel backpack tightly with both hands, his teeth chattering.
"When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were not a simple person."
Under the dark moonlight, the appearance of the bald middle-aged man is not clear, but a hooked nose is very obvious.
As Andy said, he was one of the first two people to run to the hotel with Father Matthew!
And now, after being revealed, this gang leader and police chief has an incredible face.
"So you guessed that someone was going to save you tonight?"
"I just, I just think that old thing, it can't be without enemies."
"So, you guessed ......"
Dahan reiterated again, his face still surprised, "Someone will come to save you tonight?" ”
"I have the value of being saved."
Adjusting to the cold rhythm, Andy's tone returned to smoothness, but he looked extremely weak, "But this is a risky judgment. ”
"It's just, what else can I do but put my hope on this?"
Is that really the case?
Looking at the poor boy who was shivering and sitting there with a shriveled backpack, the police chief was suspicious.
It always seems that things are not so simple.
But now is not the time to ask too much, and if you delay for a long time, the hyenas will inevitably come to hunt for you.
So he looked deeply at the boy, turned back, and began to make fire.
"I think you must have a lot of questions to ask now, including who am I, who is that old thing, why is he suppressing you, etc."
"The specific situation, someone will explain it to you completely later, and I am only responsible for sending you out. There is not much time, and I will have to rush back to be a dog later. ”
"Now, sit tight!"
The roar of the engine rang out, obscuring his voice from the sound of the waves.
But it also indicates that the tight, breathless net can no longer hold the fish.
Andy pursed his lips and looked sideways in the direction of the city at the end of the beach.
It is full of high-rise buildings, brightly lit at night, and the surroundings are flooded with darkness, as if it were the only paradise.
"Josiah York ......"
Silently muttering the name, Andy's mind began to blur.
His body was too poor, he was barely supporting, but after such a soak in the seawater, and being blown by the sea breeze, he couldn't hold on at all.
The cool clouds obtained from the assessment allowed him to stay a little sober at the last moment, but not much.
Taking advantage of this last moment, Andy hugged the travel backpack in his arms tightly.
He then collapsed headlong into the back seat of the speedboat and fell into a complete coma.
……
Sister Lily wasn't in a good mood today.
Although she won the second place, she was about to become a transcendent and was vigorously trained by the Evangelical Church.
But this did not reduce the gloom in her heart by half a point.
It's not just that she's seen everything turn black and white upside down—in fact, she's not heard of anything like it before.
Since the Reformation, the internal atmosphere of the evangelical church has become worse and worse, with corruption and infighting, and the phenomenon of major factions fighting to the death has not been uncommon.
There is more infighting, and there are more power imbalances, and all kinds of strange things have happened.
It's just that today's event is the first time she has seen it, but it doesn't mean that she has discovered any shocking news.
The main reason for her depression was actually the last few words she said to Andy.
"It's obviously not going to work at all, why can't I help but say it?" The girl is in self-doubt.
"Obviously no one else said anything, why do I want to do it?"
"Lily, Lily, what's the matter with you?"
She kept asking herself.
If you ask yourself, she admires Andy very much, and even has a feeling of reverence, because the other party's performance in the duel level is simply shocking.
It's much brighter than any star rookie.
Not to mention, Andy is still in the field she is best at, defeating and even crushing her.
However, reverence is not worship, she is not a nymphomaniac, and it is impossible to be carried away by emotions.
But she really made that kind of dementia-like behavior.
Not to mention the certain risks, it will not help Andy at all......
Isn't that just nonsense?
"Why can't you help but talk nonsense?"
She wondered.
Got a heart of admiration?
Apparently impossible.
She is a normal person, who would be a normal person who would have evil thoughts about a little boy?
Because of sympathy and pity?
Or even resentful of the injustices they have encountered?
It's a big possibility.
But why can others hold back and say nothing, but they can't hold back?
With the same growth experience, the same educational environment, the same three views, why do you have different reactions when you encounter problems?
Is it by nature?
But when I was in the convent, I was the calmest and calmest......
The question seems to be a little inexplicable, cranky, but it makes the girl doubt her life unconsciously.
"Miss, I'm home."
A voice suddenly came from the front, interrupting her thoughts.
That's the driver who greeted her home—
Although she grew up in a nun confirmation, Lily was not an orphan, not only did her parents survive, but her grandfather and grandmother were also in good health.
In the past, whenever there was free time, the girl would go home to visit her family.
And at the moment, she who has passed the assessment cannot immediately take up the position of transcendental.
The church needs a lot of time to prepare.
During this period, it can also be regarded as a holiday.
Since it was a holiday, she naturally chose not to stay in a convent full of rules and mingle with those rigid and serious old women.
So after leaving the church, Lily went home without stopping.
And now, it's been to the place.
So she pushed open the black car door next to her and appeared in front of the gate of a manor.
At night, the manor should have been quiet.
But at this moment, the place was brightly lit, the flow of people was surging, a large number of maids and servants frequently walked around the various buildings, and there were security guards with dogs and guns patrolling around.
With the large manor environment, it is a rich and noble family at a glance.
However, the transcendent are generally rich, and Lily has never felt that there is anything special about her family in the past.
It wasn't until she walked into it, and after some pleasantries, met her father and grandfather.
At the same time, I saw a familiar face that she had seen not long ago, and she was still doubting her life just now.
"He, he, how-"
In the Japanese-style room, the girl looked at the thin boy who was clutching his backpack and sleeping on a tatami mat in a dare, and her brain fell into a state of failure.
"Why is he at my house?"
There was an ugly-looking middle-aged man who asked suspiciously, learning the voice of a girl.
Immediately afterwards, the man lowered his eyelids again, smiled at the corners of his mouth, imitated the style of the characters in the island comics, and said: "Because we are thieves who are dissatisfied with the usual behavior of the York royal family, my dear daughter." ”
"I am, your grandfather is, and so does your mother."
Anti-thief?
Lily was stunned.
After being stunned for a long time, she looked stunned.
I see.
No wonder she has the same background, others can bear it, but she always can't help it.
It turned out that I had a problem with family education......
