Chapter 126: Dai Li's Past
"There is a third thing, Beckland's 'Red Glove' team has received a request for help from the city team of Tingen, which will be ...... tomorrow Well, it's already today, arrive in Tingen in the afternoon, and look for the trace of the member of the Aurora Society. ”
Red Gloves ...... The elite unit with a full rank of 7 or above...... The captain had only telegraphed to Beckland yesterday afternoon, and they would arrive this afternoon, much more efficiently than the previous operation in the port of Enmat.
Not knowing Angel's inner thoughts, the translucent face representing Dai Li continued:
"They are a three-person team, usually carrying a seal, heh, this is a common night watchman offensive configuration, sometimes depending on the situation, increase by one or two, or change the number of seals, you should have found it in many battles."
"The point is, you'll have to find an opportunity to show off the magical item from the 'Heart of the Machine' in this operation, the one you just used. Taking the initiative to reveal the facts and make it appear in the Red Glove's mission debriefing, based on my knowledge of the Church's internal code of conduct, no one will ever talk about it again until the 'Machine Heart' finds out and asks for the items to be returned. ”
Is this some kind of unspoken rule of open and secret fighting between churches...... Angel guessed, remembering that Dunn had mentioned this 'little trick' before.
"So you're the Captain's 'Beckland's acquaintance', and he told me about it yesterday, including the meaning of using magical items in front of the Red Glove."
"Beckland's acquaintance ......" the translucent face showed a bitter smile, and there was a hint of gloom in his tone, "So that's how he sees me?" ”
Angel broke out in a cold sweat, and she suddenly realized that she might have made a big mistake.
After completely digesting the "Instigator" potion, she had a sharper perception of other people's negative emotions, and even through this translucent face, she had already discovered that Dai Li was brewing an extremely negative emotion.
"No, it's not, I'm mistaken, he's talking about best friends...... It's not right either......"
Angel hurriedly opened her mouth to try to save it, she had a hunch that if she didn't correct her mistake in time, some kind of misunderstanding would happen in the future that would make both parties regret it for life.
"It's okay, maybe I'm too self-conscious. Someone as conservative as him has always kept his distance from me, and I should have understood it a long time ago......"
Dai Li's words were calm, but they lacked aura, and Angel seemed to be able to see her expressionless and empty eyes through her voice.
"You may not know, just a few years ago, I was a ......"
"Stop, wait a minute!"
Angel immediately interrupted Daly's recollections, knowing that continuing to let the confidant continue in such a situation would only reinforce the other person's negative emotions and slide the conversation into an irretrievable abyss.
"The first day I joined the Night Watch Squad, no, even the night Lady Sharon attacked Blackthorn Security, I knew from Leonard that Captain Dunn liked you, and he said that the whole team knew, why didn't you know?"
Angel finished speaking in one breath before he paused and breathed a sigh of relief.
A translucent face floated in front of her, lips closed, and Angel could feel Daly's gaze fall on her through the face, which had no eyes.
The living room fell into an awkward silence for a moment.
"Really? He, he said he liked me? ”
I don't know how many minutes it took for Dai Li's words to be delivered.
——————
"Did I say that when I was 19 years old, I became an extraordinary, a 'corpse collector'?"
"The captain mentioned ......"
Angel curled up in the corner of the living room, trying her best not to pay attention to the faintly burning street lamps outside the window. The two turquoise gas lamps in the room had been extinguished by the caring Dalie, making her translucent face even more ethereal, like a wisp of smoke in the air.
Hearing Dali's question, she replied in a thin tone.
"I had just lost my family at the time, and my cynicism, coupled with the influence of potions, made me a real 'corpse collector', wandering around the cemetery all day, sleeping in front of the grave, and even kissing corpses in my dreams."
"People I know are afraid of my weirdness, instinctively want to stay away from me, and I enjoy this social disengagement at the same time, but I am also afraid of being alone, and afraid of the coldness of waking up in the middle of the night."
Only then did Angel know that Ms. Dai Li, who likes heavy makeup and is unforgiving, still has such a past.
"So that's when you met the captain?"
"It would be nice to meet him at this time......"
A wry smile appeared on his face.
"Before I met Dunn, I had a life of indulgence, well, as you understand it, man after man, who coveted my body and coveted my looks, and I needed their warmth to fight the coldness of loneliness and potions."
This, is this a bit ......
Angel tried her best not to change her expression, but deep down she still felt a little uncomfortable.
This is contrary to her style of doing things in her previous life, as well as her current code of conduct, although she will not interfere in other people's private lives, it does not mean that she will agree with Dali's behavior.
However, Angel still did not speak, but continued to listen, and after this period of contact, she knew that although Dali loved to joke verbally, she was no longer such a casual person.
"It was in this depraved, confused life that I met Dunn, and met this man who was different from everyone else......"
Daly has a lot of praise for Dunn Smith, and even considering the bonus of the filter, Angel can agree with most of the evaluations of her captain, Dunn is indeed a senior trusted by his teammates, a self-sacrificing night watchman, and a captain who stands in front of everyone.
Well, except that my memory has been getting worse lately......
"So, I've had too many indulgences in the past, could a conservative person like him really like me? Did he really say that? ”
After introducing her past, Dai Li seemed to have fallen into the previous negative state again, and the corners of her mouth drooped.
"Not really...... No, I mean he didn't say it directly, but everybody can see it, even Klein knows. ”
Angel replied with a smile on his lips.
"By the way, when I was discussing the 'playing' with the captain, he mentioned your promotion experience, and he felt that he had stayed in the 'Nightmare' sequence for too long, and at that time he also had a kind of, huh...... Feelings of low self-esteem, just like you are now. ”
Angel's instinct as an "instigator" came to mind, and in his memories he picked up the negative emotions of Dunn talking about Daly.
"Is it possible, not necessarily right, that both of you have the same inferiority complex, and you don't dare to approach each other, but no one can pierce this barrier?"
"Really? Should I really be proactive? But he ......"
Daly seemed a little shaken.
It stands to reason that this should be done by Leonard, by Siga, Frye, and even Roshan, how could it be my turn to be a newcomer who has been on the job for less than two months?
Angel secretly scolded himself, and once again used his "instigation" ability to press the last straw.
"Speaking of which, after two months of getting along day and night, I found that I also like a mature and reliable man like the captain, if you feel inferior and feel that you are not worthy of him, you might as well give him to me......"
"Bang-"
The large gas lamp hanging on the roof of the living room suddenly burst into turquoise flames.
