As we all know, because of the existence of the Source Stone, the world of Terra is divided into two types of people.
Infected and non-infected persons.
There is an extremely serious and irreconcilable contradiction between these two classes, which is the root of most tragedies in the world today.
It is conceivable that without the Source Stone, the rulers of the Terra world would never be as comfortable as they are now. Dynasty changes will be more common, the oppressed will be more easily able to unite, and perhaps a communist state will emerge a hundred years earlier.
It's a pity that reality has no if.
The infected and non-infected are pitifully hostile to each other, and the ruling class stepping on their heads is like an audience in a colosseum, cheering while watching them fight each other.
In this general environment, Rhode Island, as a company that provides equal employment opportunities to infected and non-infected people, is simply a mudslide in Terra, making its name known to everyone.
Although this popularity is only reflected in the mobile city-state, it also brings a lot of controversy and benefits to Rhode Island.
In addition to those who are not disease-discriminated and would consider Rhode Island as their first choice for employment, there are also many ordinary people who are also eager to board this mobile base.
Why?
Because Rhode Island has above-average wages.
Red Bat is not the kind of person who has mercy. He joins Rhode Island purely for money.
In front of money, a person's bottom line is a flexible rope.
Even though he despised the infected from the bottom of his heart, Red Bat still signed the employment contract with a smile, and completely buried this disdain deep in his heart and never showed it.
Anyway, you won’t be infected, the salary is high, and the working environment is good, so what else do you need a bicycle?
Rhode Island knew this mentality and accepted it. Because Kelsey and other senior officials knew that there were still many employees similar to Red Bats in Rhode Island at this time, and even the Supervision Department made a list.
But so what? Rhode Island cannot live without its non-infected employees. As long as they don't go too far, then just turn a blind eye and let it go.
It turns out that high wages are the best way to retain employees. Over the past few years, Red Bat has shown himself to be an all-rounder, handling interpersonal relationships very well, and there are even many infected people in his social circle.
He can tolerate all this as long as his salary is not reduced.
This performance also made Rhode Island relax its surveillance of him. Even because of his excellent quality, Red Bat successfully joined the Supervision Department in his fourth year of employment, and his salary was raised to another level.
Originally this was something to be happy about, but when the guy who claimed to be from "Rheinland Life" came to the door, the joy was completely washed away.
…
When I opened the apartment door, I saw pitch black.
It looks like the roommates are out having fun again. Red Bat turned on the light and started preparing dinner.
He had no appetite today, so he simply cooked a bowl of noodles. The aroma of green onions and soy sauce filled his nostrils, but it did not arouse Red Bat's appetite. The noodles that should have made his taste buds cheer were tasteless in his mouth, like chewing wax.
Even though more than half an hour had passed, the red light from the second floor window was still imprinted in Red Bat's mind, showing no signs of dissipating.
And what Shadow said on the communication channel made an unknown fire burst out in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more it burned.
But even so, the red bat didn't do anything irritable, and still finished the noodles with a cold face. Finally, he put the bowl down into the pot and went straight to take a shower.
As an officer of the Supervision Department, he understands that he may be under surveillance, and only living as usual will not cause trouble.
If you really want to let off steam, the shower is the best place.
…
The water poured down like a heavy rain, hitting the red bat's body with coldness and slight pain, finally calming down his restless heart.
When Red Bat opened his eyes again, there was no longer a shower spraying water in front of him, but a huge blackboard.
It is filled with information about Valentine, densely packed.
Naturally, he has no mental space. This blackboard is not the same as Valentine's, it is just a product of pure thinking.
Red Bat engraved all the recently collected information in his mind, and visualized a blackboard to record it more conveniently, lest he forget something or get confused.
This requires strong brainpower, and he happens to be a talented person with brains, and his skills are only incidental.
Otherwise, how could I have tolerated those infected for so many years, and even made friends with them, achieving both good friendships and a successful career?
If he hadn't had the idea of falling in love, he might even have a wife now.
but……
Does Red Bat really not want to fall in love?
Of course it's fake.
At that young age, even a monk can't help but move his heart.
However, the object that attracted his attention was a bit special.
It was Raphael.
…
From Chernobog to Rhodes Island, Raphael's charm has not diminished and he can still be called dazzling.
She was once the dream goddess of many young people in Qicheng, but now she has become the fantasy object of most male employees in Rhode Island, and Red Bat is not immune to this.
Apart from lust, another important reason is that he was a citizen of Lateran when he was young.
Not Sakota, but a Riboli.
Although he later went to Colombia to study and changed his nationality, Red Bat's respect and admiration for the Saint of Lateran were rooted in his heart, as solid as a diamond, and time could not leave any trace on it.
So what would happen if a young man with such reverence for the saint saw his idol at his place of work?
He must be ecstatic.
When Red Bat saw Raphael, he thought he had seen it wrong. Later, after obtaining her employment report through some methods, he realized that this was not a fantasy.
At that time, Valentin and Xing Yihuang were sleeping in Longmen, and Raphael's relationship had not been exposed yet, so he was harassed every day, which was very annoying.
Then she complained to Kelsey. The situation was reported to the Supervision Department, and with a wave of his hand, Shadow sent out many Supervision Department officers to deal with the matter, and Red Bat was one of them.
He also learned a lot about Raphael.
Among them is the explanation for why the saint suddenly left Lateran, which sounds like a high-sounding reason for going out to save people and save the world.
This is the only reason that outsiders can think of.
In comparison, the real reason why the blessed soul came out to find a partner was nonsense. Raphael didn't tell anyone, so he kept it in his heart.
Red Bat doesn't believe those reasons, just like he doesn't believe Raphael's self-supporting posts in the anonymous forum.
Would the Lateran saint have a boyfriend?
Or a foreign boyfriend?
This is nonsense!
But this guy is pretty good-looking...
In his eyes, this was just a way for the idol to get rid of harassment, so Red Bat also worked harder, hoping to return Raphael's innocence as soon as possible.
Red Bat understood that it was impossible for a saint to fall in love, and it was even less possible for him to be worthy of her.
Therefore, he buried that joy as deeply as his disgust for the infected and never showed it, even during his breaks he did not pay much attention to Raphael.
How we lived in the past is how we still live now.
I just occasionally take out my phone and take a look at the posts about her on the forum.
That's enough.
For him, just having Raphael appear in his field of vision is already a great gift, and he cannot ask for anything more.
Otherwise, you may ruin your life.
Red Bat thinks well and does well, but the world is not so kind to him.
A few months later, Valentin returned from Dragon Gate, and Raphael also updated her post with a photo of the two.
That photo also shattered Red Bat's fantasy.
He originally thought that this post was simply a tool for idols to get rid of harassment, but he did not expect that the content in it was true and not adulterated.
For a time, Red Bat was filled with great resentment, which almost affected his work.
Raphael was certainly not at fault, everything was to blame on Valentine. This damned Vaifan seduced his angels and smeared the saint with filth...
The most important thing is that he turned out to be an infected person!
How could an infected person be worthy of a Lateran saint?
That mud should stay in the sewage and never get a chance to touch the clear sky!
Under the influence of various reasons, Red Bat has become the most malicious person in Rhode Island. He had contacted Lateran officials and wanted the Holy See to come forward to resolve the matter, but there had been no response, as if the entire Lateran government had become mute.
He also thought about giving Valentine a hard blow, but as an operative of the Supervision Department, Red Bat understood the methods of the Supervision Department and SWEEP better than anyone else, and there was no chance within Rhode Island.
Therefore, he did not think about changing jobs, and just stayed in Rhode Island as usual, collecting information about Valentine while living and working, just to find an opportunity.
And just a few weeks ago, the opportunity finally came.
Rhine Life's commercial spies took the initiative to expose Red Bat's identity and directly told them their plan, straight to the point.
At first, Red Bat was not tempted because he knew the danger of this matter.
Later, the man promised that he would only attack Valentine outside of Rhode Island. At the same time, regardless of success or failure, the Columbia Society would provide him with a job with a salary that was not inferior to his current one. Only then did Red Bat truly join the team.
Now, Rhode Island is about to dock at Siesta, Valentin is still on vacation, and reinforcements from Rhine Life Headquarters are about to arrive...
Turning off the shower, Red Bat stood in front of the mirror, wiping himself while looking at himself in the mirror.
Since arriving in Rhode Island a few years ago, this face has been wearing a mask and it has never been taken off.
It's time to show your true colors.
