Chapter 250: Innocent Body
The denim outfit that Sadie changed into was pre-emptive, completely transformed by a black light virus, and when she was injured, the virus would enter her body through the wound, thus realizing the miraculous operation of Leon's resurrection from the dead.
In addition, he deliberately added a little golden light of the golden tree prayer to make the overall picture look even cooler.
What Arthur finally sees is a holy angel with wings spread and golden light bringing back the souls that have fallen into the abyss.
"Hoββββ" Sadie took a sharp breath and woke up like a nightmare.
Looking down at his intact body, his face was full of disbelief.
"Good day, Mrs. Adler, congratulations on returning to this world full of suffering, but not lacking in beauty." Li Ang stood up: "Enjoy your hard-won second life." β
"By the way, if you have symptoms such as dizziness or vomiting, don't worry, just go back and sleep."
Sadie looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression, and said in her hoarse accent:
"The world is nothing but misery for me."
Li Ang shrugged: "Then I can't take care of it, I'm only responsible for getting you back." β
Sadie didn't say anything more, silently got up from the ground, retrieved the dagger in the enemy's chest, and helped Arthur clean up the battlefield and loot the loot. It wasn't until a few people were about to leave the weeping dog ranch that she said to Leon in a tough voice: "I owe you a life." β
As twilight falls in the town of Rhodes, the people involved in the clearance gather in the sheriff's office.
All the members of the Aogang entrenched in the Six Point Cabin have been wiped out, Kieran has managed to get a new job, and a few members of the O's Gang have escaped because they are not in the two strongholds, but this operation will not be achieved overnight, but will continue for a long time until the O'Gang is completely destroyed.
Their boss, Colm, will also be sent to the gallows soon.
Leon went to St. Denis and left BrontΓ« to dry for a few days, and it was time to go back and see.
Arthur returns to the gang camp and informs Dudge and the others about the O'Gang and Colm, and everyone is very happy, and the night is again a lively bonfire.
The only problem was that Arthur was three men when he left, and he was the only one left when he returned.
Kiran went to the Tyfamily Manor to work as a Bimavin, and Sadie said that she wanted to be alone and went to the tavern in town, without mentioning when she would return to camp.
The former is okay, no one cares about Xiao Transparent, but Sadie is an official member of the Fan Gang.
Although everyone said that she wanted to drink to vent because of her revenge, and she would come back in a few days, Daqi felt a little uncomfortable.
The next day, something even more unexpected happened, and Abigail offered to move to the town.
The reason was that he was afraid that Jack would miss out on the opportunity to receive a formal education.
Despite Abigail's claim that she doesn't want to break away from the gang and will still work for the gang even if she lives in town, Ducky repeatedly expresses her displeasure and sends her husband, John, to persuade her.
As a result, Abigail scolded John back with a word.
"This may be the only chance in Jack's life to change his fate, do you want him to grow up to be like you, an outlaw who only knows how to fight and kill?"
John naturally didn't want to see his son suffer the same fate as him, so he chose to side with Abigail.
This incident caused a slight rift in the relationship between him and Daqi as a master and father.
Ducky felt that John was openly opposing him and questioning his authority as a gang leader.
And with the departure of Abigail's mother and son, some people in the gang have other thoughts, after all, no one wants to live this kind of upheaval life forever.
Chef Pearson, for example, was considering whether to open a grocery store in town.
Of course, these people are just thinking about it, and they don't really put it into action.
Only Bill, who is not very bright-headed, after a certain drunkenness, suggests to Dudge in a joking way: the gang should simply stay in Rhodes Town, there is money to be made, and Detective Pinkerton does not dare to harass him, and Sergeant Arthur is in front of him when he commits a crime.
Most of the members can see that Bill, the idiot, has definitely been used as a gun, but no one knows who came up with the idea.
After listening to this, Daqi smiled and said that he would consider it.
The next day he decided to leave Cape Clemmons and move the camp somewhere else.
Arthur still obeys the boss's decision unconditionally, and Hosea, although he feels a little pity, also feels that it is a good thing to move away.
The temptation of Rhodes to the Fan Gang is too great, and if they continue to stay, something will happen sooner or later.
But except for the three of them, everyone else said they couldn't understand it.
Obviously everything is going in a good direction, why let everyone leave.
"Arthur, what about your position as sheriff?" Someone asked.
Arthur said freely: "Don't do it, I wasn't this material originally." However, if Mayor Han Sen asks me for help, I will still help. β
Lenny actually had a chance to stay, he did a good job as a police clerk, but he resolutely chose to continue to follow Hosea and become his disciple.
Charles is not currently in the gang, because of his Indian ancestry, he was sent by Han Sen to the Indian reservation in the north to communicate with the local tribal chieftain about some business, so his thoughts are unknown for the time being.
On the day Ducky made his decision, Arthur went to Hansen to submit his resignation.
Han Sen didn't hold back too much, he just hoped that he would wait until Colm finished the trial before stepping down, which would be regarded as a beginning and an end, and he would give him a big gift when the time came.
Arthur agreed.
Fast forward to the day Colm was hanged, and since he was the most wanted man of the same rank as Ducky, many people traveled far and wide to see how he died.
It is even more impossible for Ducky to miss the 'good days' of his old rival and come to the scene in disguise.
Several key members of the Fan Gang followed him.
Sadie, who had been missing for days, also appeared, and she had already learned from Abigail that the gang was moving out.
When she was heartbroken by the death of her husband, Abigail often enlightened her.
Therefore, in the gang, the one who has the best relationship with her is Abigail, and even Arthur, the 'widow's friend', has to go a little further.
Sadie came to tell Dutsy that she would go with the gang and stay in the new camp for a while to repay the Fan gang for saving their lives, but after that, she would go to Leon and work for him.
Maika pointed directly at her nose and called her a traitor.
Ducky was very calm, and said a good word to get together and disperse, which was kind of agreeing to Shadie's decision.
At noon, Colm's time for execution arrived.
The gang he painstakingly managed has been completely removed from the western region, and no one will come to rob the law field.
Mayor Hansen himself walked up to the gallows and announced Colm's unspeakable crimes, and the executioner was Arthur, who wore a police badge on the last day.
Before sending Colm on the road, Han Sen announced another decree that no one expected.
Because of Arthur Morgan's meritorious service in this clearance operation, and sparing no effort to maintain law and order in the state of Lemone, the federal government and local state governments decided to pardon him for all crimes, and to revoke the wanted warrant and bounty.
In other words, Arthur, an outlaw, henceforth washed his name.
Not to mention Ducky, they were dumbfounded, and even Arthur himself froze in place like a puppet.
"I guess I heard it wrong, right?" John said.
"You heard it right." Maika sarcastically said with envy and jealousy: "Mr. Morgan and we will not be all the way in the future, and certainly no longer your good brother." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by Daqi.
"Revoking the wanted doesn't mean anything, and if you talk nonsense, you'll tear your mouth apart!"
Maika felt aggrieved, did he say it wrong?
But then, he thought of a clever plan to get revenge on Arthur.
"Arthur's pardon, does it mean that he can go back to Blackwater?"
When Daqi heard this, he immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
How do you know that Javier directly picked out Maika's mind at this time: "If you want Arthur to be wanted again, just say it, there is no need to beat around the bush." β
"What the hell are you farting!" Maika was anxious: "I'm thinking about the gang, now except Arthur, who can get that money back openly!" β
John also understood at this time, and said in a strange manner: "Some people's hearts are really black. β
Seeing that the three of them were about to quarrel, Ducky shouted: "Enough! β
"It's up to me to decide what happens to Arthur and Blackwater, and I don't need you to worry about it. Now, get back to camp for me! β
Maika walked away in a gloomy way, but not in the direction of Cape Clemmons.
John goes back to town to find Abigail and his son.
Only Javier obediently returned to the camp.
The behavior of the three was seen by Daqi, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead." β
Hosea, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Arthur cannot be blamed for this. β
"I know." Ducky lit the pipe that Arthur had given him the other day.
Hosea said again: "This is a Yang conspiracy, obviously that Colonel Han Sen does not plan to release people easily, it is right to move away as soon as possible,"
Ducky patted his old friend on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Thanks to you." β
Now that the two gang founders had no mind to see the execution, they ordered Bill to stay and wait for Arthur, and they hurried back to the camp to pack their belongings.
You have to go today, in case you have a lot of dreams at night.
By the time Arthur had finished attending the ritual that Hansen had prepared for him, he and Bill returned to Cape Clemmons drunk, and the entire gang was ready to go.
Looking at the faces of everyone with different expressions, Arthur suddenly had a strange idea.
This time he didn't leave him.
But the thought was only fleeting, and it was quickly replaced by other questions.
"Where are we moving to?"
Ducky was counting the number of people, and everyone was there except for Abigail and Little Jack, as well as Mika, who didn't know where to make trouble, and he was very satisfied.
"Lady of the Shade, remember, the place you proposed last time."
The Shaded Beauty is the beautified name for a dilapidated manor in the southern marshes.
Arthur drank and said bluntly, "I thought the money we made before would be enough for us to move to a better place, such as Tahiti?" β
Daqi said casually, "It's still a lot worse." β
The usual rule of the Fan Gang is that whether it is a train hijacking or other group actions, the gang will divide half of the money they earn, and then divide the rest of the money equally according to the head. If you get the money by acting alone, you can donate a part of it according to your own wishes.
And this part of the gang's public property was hidden in a safe place by Daqi, and only he knew how much it was.
But Arthur did a rough calculation.
Last time, Ducky took the lead in robbing the Valentine Bank, and nearly $10,000 was credited, and the gang was able to get at least 4,000. Hosea made almost a few thousand dollars selling moonshine during this time, and Arthur himself made a lot of bounties in the police station by catching wanted criminals, and also donated to the gang. In addition, the rest of the members have been very prosperous recently, and the gang's property is conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands.
This is not a small amount, and Arthur does not know how much they will have to earn to live up to Ducky's expectations.
"You're the boss, we'll go wherever you say."
It was just an ordinary joke, but it changed its flavor in Ducky's ears.
"Are you expressing your frustration to me?"
Seeing this, Hosea hurriedly pulled Arthur aside: "You are drunk, go to the carriage and rest for a while, and when you wake up, we will go to the new camp." β
Arthur stood there for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile and climbed into the carriage.
It didn't take long for the snoring to pick up.
Arthur fell asleep heartlessly, and Dutch became more and more distraught.
If even his most trusted right-hand man dares to express his dissatisfaction to his face, what will the other members think? Will it be more excessive, like Abigail and just leave the gang?
Thinking of this, Ducky's gaze swept over everyone's faces.
He had to rush to get a big ticket as soon as possible in order to reunite the scattered hearts.
The Idea King is thinking of a good idea again, and Hosea has no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility and lead the gang convoy to the Shaded Beauty.
At the same time, the office of the mayor of the town of Rhodes.
Two Pinkerton detectives in round hats and leather suits found Han Sen.
"I'm Andrew Milton, the head of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in the Western Region, and this is Agent Edgar Ross, and we're here for the Van der Linde Gang."
Han Sen asked the Nether Dog to bring coffee to the two of them, and joked, "I thought you were here to reward me for Colm's business." β
Seeing that the two senior agents were not smiling, he suddenly felt bored, and said slowly: "The only person Van der Linde helped me know is Arthur Morgan, and he has been pardoned by the federal government." β
Milton said very politely: "We have no ill will towards Mr. Mayor's former subordinates, but we must catch others, I hope Mr. Mayor can provide us with some useful information, and the detective agency is fully grateful." β
Pinkerton's style of action is indeed overbearing, but that also depends on who is right.
Especially when the big money behind them is called Cornwall, and Hansen is now a guest of honor in Cornwall, and the two sides are working together to develop the newly discovered oil fields on the Indian reservation.
"Intelligence?" Han Sen leaned back in his chair: "The Van der Linde Gang had nothing to do with us the moment they left Rhodes, so I don't have the information you said." β
Milton was silent for a few seconds before saying, "In that case, then we'll take our leave, thank you for your coffee." β
In fact, his goal has been achieved, and asking for information or something is just a pretext.
During the Fan Gang in Rhodes, they actually secretly got Han Sen's protection, even if Pinkerton found them, they couldn't be arrested, and if they were caught, they could only be sent to the Rhodes Town Police Station, daring to violate the rules and annoying the big financiers, then he Milton would wait to be removed.
Now, Han Sen has made it clear that he will no longer protect the Fan Gang.
Milton and his men were free to go on the hunt, just to keep an eye out for that Arthur Morgan.
