Dusk Cafe.
This is located in a wealthy area where black holes gather, and one of the few stores that can open 24 hours a day.
Now the hands of the clock on the wall have reached the two o'clock position in the morning. Apart from a clerk who was napping, there was only one person sitting on the side by the window, drinking hot chocolate under the dim light. youth.
Unfortunately, this quiet and peaceful scene did not last for a few minutes before it was broken by the sound of a car speeding from the distant street, followed by the harsh sound of brakes, which was extremely loud in the lonely night.
The door of the coffee shop was pushed open again, and this time it was very rude. The clerk at the front desk was startled, but he didn't dare to say anything because the person he was wearing... was the uniform of the Knights.
The knight took a quick look and spotted Liao Ji, who was deliberately sitting in a conspicuous position. After he walked quickly, he sat down opposite the young man.
His face was as gloomy as it was at this moment.
"Captain Dulin, I remember...I called Knight Tamik, right? How come it's you now?"
"Don't talk nonsense to me. At 1:17 in the morning, the Knights received a call from enthusiastic residents, saying that a large amount of brown red mist was spreading in the southeast corner of the Black Cave. It was suspected that a severe turbid pollution had broken out. At thirty-nine minutes, the knights arrived and confirmed the death of Kaleva leader Farm, along with the entire secret factory and almost all the gangsters inside."
"The Knights found the only survivor at the scene, a gangster named Artur. After the nuns kept helping him stabilize his mind, we learned from him that the murderers who caused all this... were only two people, and It's very young men and women."
After taking a breath, Du Lin stared at the young man opposite who was still drinking hot chocolate and continued:
"However, just this afternoon, the pollution incident broke out at Haisha Bar. The biggest suspects were also very young men and women. Regarding this...Mr. Liao Ji, do you have anything to say?"
"I want to say that this may be the gap. We are all young people, but how can others be so powerful and eliminate harm for us low-level people, but I can only report the case to the Knights after my relatives are arrested. Asked for help, but ended up being beaten up and interrogated as a prisoner. Alas..."
Liao Ji sighed deeply, as if even God was apologizing for him. A "ticking" sound came from the window, and soon after, it turned into a "clattering" curtain in the night.
It's raining.
"A relative has been arrested? Hmm, I would like to hear who in this small place like our dark cave can be so blind."
Du Lin thought the young man opposite was playing riddles with him, going in circles, until he heard the next two words from Liao Ji's mouth.
"church."
The knight captain frowned for a moment, but when he judged from the serious expression on Liao Ji's face that the other party was not joking or teasing him, Du Lin changed his previous gloomy and forceful attitude. became silent.
Liao Ji felt a lot more relaxed about this. He knew that he had found the right person.
"That's great. As expected of Captain Dulin. Judging from your appearance, I don't need to say anything more. You seem to have connected everything together."
"Please be sure to assist me and help me with this, otherwise... Hey, actually I can quite understand now. There is nothing we can do about the two young men who killed Kaleva. At our age, we can't do anything. He's just easy to get excited about and very impulsive, what do you think, Captain Dulin?"
Facing Liao Ji's speech, Du Lin remained silent. He seemed to be hesitating and struggling, but just like the rain falling outside the window, there were some things that no one could stop.
The knight captain took out a pocket watch from his arms. After opening it, there was a group photo of a couple. Du Lin stared at the gentle and virtuous blond woman on the right side of the group photo, closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
"There is a restricted area in the church, the second underground floor of the library. No member is allowed to enter it. Once, a young knight ignored the order and sneaked in. After that, he found that it was actually connected. A certain abandoned book The sewer leads to a larger underground space, and in it... there are many monsters, many terrifying monsters."
"The members of the Knights will leave the church at ten o'clock at noon and three o'clock in the afternoon to patrol. Normally, a quarter of them will stay behind, but because there have been too many cases recently, it is estimated that because of There is a shortage of manpower, so all the guard forces have been temporarily transferred away."
"Remember, we only have this week to mobilize manpower."
After saying this, Du Lin didn't care about any other reactions from Liao Ji later, he stood up and left.
But as soon as he walked out of the cafe, Dulin discovered that a young knight was waiting for him there.
After Liao Ji looked over, he narrowed his eyes and recognized that it was Tamik, and the young knight who came over had three umbrellas in his hands.
Three handfuls...
The door of the coffee shop was pushed open again, but this time he was very polite. After Tamik trotted up to Liao Ji, he straightened up and bowed apologetically to Liao Ji.
"I'm very sorry! I... I was in a hurry, so I couldn't come to reply to you personally, Mr. Liao Ji. My teacher... ahem, Captain Du Lin didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
Seeing the young knight's careful probing, Liao Ji smiled and said, "How could it be possible? Captain Du Lin is a very nice person and very responsible. He has already solved my troubles."
"That's it...that's good, that's good. Anyway, I'm really sorry. The goddess taught us that we must lend a helping hand to people in need, but I missed my appointment with Mr. Liao Ji. This is my dereliction of duty. Next time... If you have any difficulties next time, Mr. Liao Ji, I, Tamik, promise the goddess in the name of a knight that I will put down everything I am doing and do my best to help you!"
"Thank you. I believe the goddess will be very happy to have a believer like you." Liao Ji said sincerely.
"You've given me the award, so I have something else to do, so first...ah! That's right, this is for you!"
Tamik brought three umbrellas, one for himself and one for Du Lin. The last one was brought for Liao Ji to lend a helping hand to people in need. It can be seen from the young knight's words. , it’s really more than just shouting slogans.
Tamik left the cafe only after seeing Liao Ji taking the umbrella.
And Liao Ji could see through the window that Captain Dulin at the entrance of the cafe scolded the young knight for "acting without authorization" again, probably because he even came over to him, I feel angry for taking the initiative to meet a "dangerous person" like myself.
With Tamik nodding and admitting his mistake, the two got in the car and left here quickly.
In response, Liao Ji rubbed his nose. Was he really such a bad guy?
After getting what he wanted, Liao Ji naturally had no reason to stay in the cafe. He opened the umbrella given by Tamik and prepared to walk towards the church. Although Du Lin kindly gave him two time points, Liao Ji Ji couldn't wait any longer.
but...
Liao Jicai had just come out of the cafe. After walking a few steps, he saw a shivering and huddled thin figure next to a trash can in the corner of the road under the gray moonlight on a rainy night.
She trembled all over, hugging her knees with her hands and burying her head deeply, as if she was using this method to keep warm in the cold night. Unfortunately, the rain hit her body mercilessly, taking away her little bit of heat. The cold wind blew all over her body. He kept trembling again.
tramp.
There are many people like this, let alone the black cave, even the Blue Star where Liao Ji was before, so he took a glance and continued to move forward.
Unfortunately, Liao Ji walked slower and slower, until finally, the young man stopped.
Then Liao Ji turned back again. He didn't know if it was because of the influence of a young knight in the cafe. After sighing, he put the umbrella in his hand next to the curled up figure next to the trash can.
It is worth mentioning that when the distance got closer, Liao Ji was a little surprised to find that although the clothes the other party was wearing were soaked by the rain and wet, it was not difficult to tell that this was...
A nun's uniform?
It was strange for a moment, but Liao Ji didn't say much. After putting down his umbrella, he turned around and left.
but.
What Liao Ji didn't know was that at the moment he turned around, invisible behind him, the homeless man next to the trash can, oh no, it should be said to be a homeless nun, raised his head from between his buried knees. got up.
The young man's umbrella protected her from the rain, and she showed a happy and bright smile to the young man's back, showing a smile that seemed to be proud and proud.
But these are fleeting.
The next second, the little wandering nun became pitiful again, shivering with cold, and quickly stepped forward, grabbing the corner of Liao Ji's clothes with her dirty and trembling hands.
"First...sir..."
"Can you please take in a...nun?"
