The innocent mermaid (4) should not exist

Some childhood fears are difficult to eliminate, even if time flies, even if the physique has changed from a fragile and immature child to a strong adult, even if it has changed from ignorance to a wise man who has learned a lot, even if the conscious willpower is strong enough, it is difficult to resist the fears that are deeply rooted in childhood, and those fears will cling to certain situations and quietly cover the shadows.

Inside the white spire of the church, there is a sense of the Holy Spirit that is everywhere carefully carved and strives to be highlighted. The white pear pattern polishes the smooth and unusually smooth marble, the white stone pillars that stand tall and round and natural, on the wall and on the high platform, the statues of elves and goddesses of different sizes and shapes are infected, and there are countless reliefs of roses and irises that are not there.

Looking at this, Sunkage felt that his left arm trembled and paralyzed slightly, and he was a little weak, and it was the hand on the side of the heart, as if this paralysis was spreading from the heart, and the heart was contracted by fear and unconsciously, but it was the first to manifest itself in the limbs.

Sunshadow squinted at the corner of the pillar and wall of the incubation hall, a corner of the shadows, looking up at the high ceiling that had dispersed the darkness because it was too high.

The white cold marble, the cold cells, the ankle-black robes, the strange unknown chants, the biting cold and pain. It turned out that those vague images whose memories were not even clear still existed, and it turned out that he would still be afraid, so afraid that his body could have a concrete reaction, and it was a deception to say that he was not disappointed.

He pinched his left arm with his right hand, trying in vain to stop this uncontrollable trembling, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It turns out that after going through so many things, he still has such an expression.

Good thing he's not here. Sun Shadow couldn't help but feel a figure in his heart, it was the figure of that man who came like a god that day, against the light. If Peng Xiu were here, seeing his trembling hand, I am afraid that he would be equally disappointed in him.

The sound of footsteps coming from a distance and approaching in a haphazard manner interrupted the silence for a moment. Sunshadow shook his head, trying to clear the floating emotions from his mind, looking vigilantly in the direction he came from, thinking about the next direction.

In addition to the similar structure of the main hall of the indoctrination hall in each place, there are also local plans and differences in others, and Danfeng Town should be like this. However, Danfeng is even more strange in that the scale does not match, it is larger than the small-level indoctrination hall, but it is smaller than the medium-level one, but this may not be unusual, what is even more strange should be its existence itself.

The relationship between the Purple Kite Empire and the Holy Court is delicate, each wants the other to perish, but they are dependent on each other. There are dozens of countries on this continent, and they have divided their powers, and even if they fight each other, they maintain their independence and manage their own territory. But there is only one force that can penetrate all forces, and that is the Holy Court of Light.

The Holy See of Light could not annex all of their countries, but it used the power of its large followers to control many countries to varying degrees. The Purple Kite Empire has always been strong, but even if the Purple Kite Empire is as powerful as the Purple Kite Empire, it has to give in to the power of faith, and at the same time, it is also using the power of faith to govern this huge country, and he has to accept that the people believe in the Holy Court, and they want to limit the indoctrination of the Holy Court in the Purple Kite Empire. The forces of the Purple Kite Empire and the Holy See fought and reconciled with each other, and most of them formed explicit treaties, the most important of which was the setting of the Indoctrination. It is not possible to set up an indoctrination hall in a town of a certain size, unless there is an important place. The Purple Kite Empire does not want to know only the Holy Court and not the Purple Kite Empire in the corners of the Purple Kite Empire, and the Holy Court must at least need to develop its own cult in the richest and most potential places in the country.

However, according to the level and size of Danfeng Town, according to the convention, there will be no indoctrination hall. The Purple Kite Empire is not allowed according to the system, and the Bright Holy Court should not waste manpower and material resources here. So what is the reason why both sides can violate it, and set up a fairly large-scale indoctrination hall here without incident.

Sunshadow easily avoided the guards and clerks who were not very alert, and followed the passage behind the main hall, and looked all the way to find Adore's study.

The dark brown oak desk and bookcase are thick and serious, which seems to complement the owner's rigorous style. The documents on the desk and the esoteric and difficult books on the bookcase are arranged in a very neat and regular manner, and even the handwriting highlights the rigidity and neatness. The whole study room, rigid and dull, has no identity with the magnificent hall at all, there is no ornate decoration, even the simple ornaments are sparse and pitiful, only adding a breath is the sketch of a young girl standing on the desk, protected by a beautiful wooden frame. Only the size of the palm, but extremely delicate, the intricate rose vine carved extremely, the small thorns of the vine thorns are delicately visible, the flowers open and close differently, and the multiple petals are delicate. But the sketch that protects it is very simple, simply outlining the appearance of the girl, as if the white pure flowers exude a touch of elegance in the breeze, beautiful and pure. Nikkage looked at the sketch, but felt a little familiar, but confirmed that he didn't know the girl well.

Giving up his memories, Rikage flipped through the documents on the table again, most of them were some surveys of the residents of Danfeng Town, some daily expenses of the Jiaohua Hall, and some normal documents for studying and studying the history of doctrines, which were nothing unusual, but the drawer on the side of the desk had two cleverly designed mezzanines, which attracted the attention of Hikage.

The mezzanine is not hidden, but the open clasp is very bright, it seems to be a pattern, which is split in the nine-square grid-like clasp. The texture of each piece is not complicated, but it lacks coherence, and it cannot be solved by guessing, and it is necessary to know its own pattern. Sunshadow sat down in a high-backed chair, ready to search for clues. His eyes scanned around and landed on the sketch.

The size of the sketch is only three inches square, and the girl's smile is as dazzling as a flower, which occupies all the attention of the whole painting, and it is easy to overlook the details. The bust of the girl seems to have a black dot on the elegant neck, but the shape of the black dot is also somewhat peculiar. Sunshadow carefully took the frame, walked to the window, and observed it carefully through the sunlight through the gap in the curtains. It may be a strange birthmark, but it has a beautiful shape, like a rose, surrounded by thorns, layered on top of each other, delicate and complex. If it weren't for the excellent eyesight of the sun shadow and the sunlight that penetrated it, it would be difficult to distinguish at all.

Sunshadow put down the sketch and walked to the mezzanine, carefully groping, turning the pinched clasp of the nine-square grid. There was a slight sound, the sound of gears turning, and the pinching of the sandwich was loosened.

But what was stored in the mezzanine, to Hinage's slight disappointment, was not a bloody murder weapon, nor a secret letter written by someone, nor a key to where it went, but a stack of documents, and more portraits of the girl. If the portrait on the table is realistic, then inside the table is an imaginary painting, with the fantasy of a girl growing up, a girl wearing different clothes, and a girl's shy appearance. Sun Ying flipped through these paintings and understood the reason why these paintings were placed on the mezzanine, a deacon of the Religious Church, what he thought about every day was not how to absorb believers, but just a slow-minded wind and snow, how could he be known by others.

The shadow of the sun turned to a silhouette, the high bridge of the nose, the corners of the smiling lips, the big waves of curls flying behind the sides, the light gauze skirt, the skirt raised high, so familiar. But Sunkage still couldn't remember who it was.

And that pile of documents, which only recorded some numbers, seemed to be in and out of the accounts. But Sunshadow wasn't proficient in this way, so he couldn't see any mystery in it. He found a piece of paper and copied a few pages, and then selected one from the painting and put it in his pocket. Just as he was about to continue to investigate the rest of the world, he heard the familiar sound of a dark whistle. I had to give up and prepare to leave.

But as he prepares to leave the window, he is caught by what is behind the heavy curtains. There is a compartment sewn behind the curtain, which seems to be very new, a little different from the wear and tear of the dark red curtain of the same color, but it is not conspicuous, and it is a little wet at the moment, and there is a shallow watermark. The sun shadow touched it with his hand and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff.

It's blood. Human blood.

When I opened the bag, there was a strangely shaped and extremely sharp boning knife. The grooves of the blade have been blackened, and it seems that too much blood has been deposited, and the traces left by not cleaning it up in time carry a fishy smell and aura, exuding a cold light.

Sunshadow frowned in disgust.

Three kilometers southeast of the town. In front of a black door, four men with different temperaments were talking.

"Why don't you invite us in?" The young officer in front of him, his enthusiasm for Mott, and his neglect of him and Robert made Melson really not like him. He asked very unceremoniously and directly.

"Who is this?" the officer asked, looking at Mott.

"He is the youngest son of the Marquis of Dragon Lord, the major general of the Third Holy Knight Order of the Purple Kite Empire, and His Excellency Viscount Uso. This is our friend Robert. Mott introduced both the officers and Melson and Robert. "This is a comrade I met when I was a creep, Edward. ”

"You are the younger brother of His Excellency the Paladin. Disrespectful, disrespectful, Your Excellency the Viscount. Edward looked at Melson with a wistful look.

This kind of look has flashed in the eyes of too many people. A haze flashed in Melson's eyes.

"Then come in first. While the men were talking, the door was pushed open, and a soldier saluted Edward.

At last the crowd entered the black gate.

Behind the gate, neat and solemn, rows of barracks bear traces of barracks everywhere. The spacious martial arts training ground, with a high platform for training and perfect equipment for drills, has a kind of military camp order everywhere. But the strange thing is that at this time, during the day, there is no sound in the barracks, there is basically no one on the martial arts training ground, and there are no soldiers patrolling the barracks. But the strangest thing is that existence itself is at all.

The planning of the Purple Kite Empire is related to the local situation, according to the size of Danfeng Town, the barracks do not need to be set up here, more should be set up in the higher-level towns. Before Robert asked the mayor of the town about the report, he also referred to the report to the higher army, if it wasn't for Kevin's visit last night, he really didn't know that there was a barracks in Danfeng Town so close, and judging from the size of the camp, it was quite large. With a barracks of this size, why did the personnel seem so sparse, and why did they ignore the anomalous events in the town, thinking of the same strange existence of the Indoctrination Hall on the edge of the town. Robert frowned slightly. The situation here is too subtle to really know if their insertion is good or bad.
