"I'm sorry, young master, I didn't mean to waste my time." Father Miró patted his head and said, "After all, these things have been going on for too long, and something else is needed to connect them." Well, as you said, let's get straight to the point. ”

"That day, old Henry and Lily had a quarrel, and they both asked me to judge. It was already evening after I had dealt with them, and when I got back to church, I saw him. That's right, Archimedes. Fr. Miró pointed to the chairs in the second row on the left and said: "He was sitting here looking very depressed, and when I asked him what was going on with him, he pulled me out for a drink." ”

He drank a lot, and his eyes were very melancholy, as if there was a knot in his heart that could not be untied. He said he was in love with a woman, and I asked him how much he loved him, and he said it was better than his own life......"

Miró shuddered suddenly, and the temperature in the church seemed to drop by two degrees. A chill rose from his feet, making him shiver.

Alan lowered his head, and the lights in the church left only a shadow on his face. In that shadow, Father Miro suddenly saw two red lights up, as if the gates of purgatory were opened, and the demons of the abyss opened their bloody eyes. Father Miro sat down on the floor and looked at Alan in surprise.

"He's lying!" Alan suddenly raised his head and shouted, with him as the center, a circle of invisible source force fluctuations pushed away, and all the rows of poor chairs in the church were shattered!

Allen's eyes seemed to erupt into flames, and his red pupils were like magma rumbling and boiling!

"If he really loves that person, even more than his own life, why should he abandon her!" Alan shouted, and the sound shook all the windows in the church.

The door opened, and the lieutenant nervously slipped in. I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the church in a mess. As soon as he looked at Allen and wanted to step forward, Allen raised his hand and said, "I'm fine, second lieutenant." ”

"Alright then, what do you need to call me again." The lieutenant glared at Miro, apparently thinking that Miro had angered Alan.

Miró spread his hands innocently.

Alan took a deep breath, suppressed the flame that was almost erupting in his chest, and said, "It's me who lost my temper, I'm sorry Father." Here is a loss of qiē, I will compensate you. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." The priest muttered, he patted his ass and stood up, glanced at Allen, and said, "Forgive me for saying more, this young master." Sometimes, leaving your loved ones may also be a kind of protection. ”

Allen's body shook slightly.

This was something he had never thought about, could it be that his father left his mother and left on his own, what was something or someone threatening them? But why didn't the man reveal it to Lannie at all?

This answer, or perhaps only Archimedes himself knows.

"Father, how much more do you know about him?" Alan asked.

Father Miró tilted his head and said, "A lot, after all, I have known him for more than ten years. ”

"Very well, I hope you can tell me everything you know."

Father Miro showed an embarrassed expression: "This young master, that is not something that can be said clearly for a moment. Moreover, it will delay me a lot. ”

"I'll pay you what you deserve."

"This, to be honest, is enough for me to live happily for a few years. You know, on this damn surface, no one knows what will happen in a few years. So I don't need any other compensation, as long as you grant me a small request, and I'll be happy to share with you a little bit about Archimedes. Father Miró looked at Alan eagerly.

Alan frowned: "I hope I can fulfill this request for you, let's talk about it." ”

"Quite simply, I have heard that Babylon is a paradise on earth. So you see, if you can let me live in heaven, I can tell you anything you want to know! ”

"Father, Babylon is not necessarily heaven." Alan said, "But I can help with that." ”

In Alan's hands, there are still 15 places to designate surface dwellers to move to Babylon. It was one of the rewards for winning the Death Ring, but the number of places was limited, and Alan didn't want to waste it, so he asked, "But you have to tell me what I'm good at, Babylon doesn't raise idlers." ”

"As you can see, I am a priest. It is my duty and what I do best to spread the gospel of the Lord and lead His people to His arms. Father Miró even spun around and said with open arms.

Alan shook his head: "This is not enough, then I don't think there will be a shortage of priests like priests." ”

Father Miró's expression stepped down, and he paced back and forth a few times before finally stopping, "Well, I'm still a military doctor. I was, but I wasn't the kind of doctor who treated physical wounds. What I healed was a wound in my soul. ”

"Also a psychological counselor for the army?" Alan nodded: "Okay, barely qualified." But you're ...... now."

"Damn, I just drank a little bit, and they called me drunk, doubted my qualifications, and kicked me out of the army." Father Miró was annoyed and said, "Otherwise, I would not be a priest." But that's all it takes, the two professions have something in common after all, don't they? ”

"So be it, and tomorrow I will go back to Babylon. However, there are some necessary formalities to get you to Babylon, which will take about a few days. Alan paused, and then added, "I have to warn you, Father. If in the future I discover that what you said to me is not the truth, as I said before, you will find that Babylon is not necessarily heaven. If necessary, it can also turn into hell. ”

Father Miró sneered, "Of course. ”

Alan walked towards the gate.

"Wait a minute." Father Miró exclaimed.

Alan turned around, and the priest said, "It's not early, I'll leave you tomorrow." However, there is no hotel in the town, but there is a small attic next to the church bell tower, and I can still live in it, so it should be no problem to rest for the night. The important thing is that Archimedes used to live there and didn't know ...... you."

"Then please clean it up for me." Alan Dao.

Father Miro's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Then you won't be stingy with paying me some boarding fees, right?" ”

This money-loving old guy! Alan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Babylon is lit up at night.

Golden Wing Avenue and William Avenue meet at Dawn Square, two major thoroughfares that divide the downtown area into four districts and 16 smaller blocks. The area around Dawn Square is undoubtedly the most prosperous area in the central city, with landmarks such as the Bundestag, the Golden Eagle Commercial Building, the Goliath Tower and the Venus Hotel nearby.

As a result, there are many buildings, a huge transportation network, bustling streets, and a variety of large public facilities. Even at night, the street lamps on both sides of the street, the neon lights of high-rise buildings, and the endless traffic of various streamers make Babylon in the dark night like a colorful ukiyo-e, showing a prosperous atmosphere everywhere.

The inhabitants of Babylon were proud to live on the floating island.

Kuman is no exception.

He was a black man, despite the slogan of the federal government, which was "to eliminate racial and colour discrimination" at the beginning of its existence. But in fact, it is still difficult for black people to hold high-level positions in the vast and complex administrative network of the federal government, and there are not many surface prosecutors like Guman who can become a borough. Kuman usually works on the surface, but now that Christmas is less than ten days away, he is allowed to return to Babylon to reunite with his family and welcome the new year.

In the afternoon he had returned to Babylon on a transport airship, and in the evening he had attended an important bureaucratic banquet. At this moment, I am very tired when I return to my home in the 11th block. The empathetic wife had already let the hot water be put out, and after bathing, Guman casually exclaimed, "Where's my bathrobe?" ”

The figure outside the bathroom swayed, and a maid came in with a bathrobe: "Sir, what do you want?" ”

"Put it down." Guman glanced at the maid, who was very young, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. His millet hair lay in the back of his head in a dignified manner, and his youthful face made Guman feel that he was no longer young.

"You're new here?"

The procurator was not a big nobleman, and naturally he could not afford to hire housekeepers and hordes of servants. There was only one maid in Guman's house, but it was a woman in her thirties, not the young girl in front of her.

The girl nodded, "Lady Willy is sick, and the hostess has asked her to rest for a few days, and I will work in her place for the time being." ”

"Got it, you get out." Guman waved his hand.

While putting on the bathrobe, the figure of the young maid lingered in Guman's mind. Such a young body is simply a flame, Guman groaned in his mind.

He walked out in his bathrobe and came to the study. The temperature in the room was moderate, and there was already a cup of coffee with hot smoke on the table. Guman secretly praised that this little maid was much more clever than Willy.

I wonder if she's more energetic than Willy in bed? Guman thought, and sat down at his desk. His job is not just to be a prosecutor, he is also an intermediary, a role that conveys certain instructions on behalf of the big people. Just like not long ago, an armed force that an adult had worked so hard to cultivate on the surface was secretly attacked. When Guman got the news, he was too late to inform his superiors because of the urgency of time, so he could only send the news to the surface immediately.

It's a pity that the armed force still called someone to take it. And the one who took out this surface army was another big man who couldn't afford to offend anyone, so Guman's superiors could only be dumb, but they poured their anger on the prosecutor.

Recalling the snub he had received at the banquet just now, Gu Man couldn't help but tighten his bathrobe. Maybe I have to write a secret letter to my boss, after all, this time it is not my fault for dereliction of duty.

The light stretched Guman's shadow long on the ground, and Guman didn't notice that his own shadow on the ground suddenly distorted.
