Chapter 217 On a rainy day, what goes best with what?
Terra Calendar 1590.4.5.
Fog City·A25 Highway.
There are many great driving roads and picturesque countryside around the Foggy Country, such as the A3 in Surrey and now the A25 near Brookrent and Dandridge.
However, today is obviously not a day suitable for driving. At this time, the sky above the foggy city is gloomy, and the black cloud pressure is very low, as if the entire A25 highway will be swallowed up in the next moment.
"Boom~~"
Suddenly a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by deafening thunder. Thunder came from a distance, and it suddenly resounded throughout the sky, as if it was about to shatter the earth. As the thunder sounded, the rain began to become heavier and heavier, pouring down from the sky.
On the straight A25 road, two beams of light firmly illuminate the darkness ahead.
A blue car is running in the rain.
【Welcome to the Fog International Channel, we are here to report you the latest surrounding news. Recently, a serious building collapse occurred in a middle school in Karlsruhe, Berlin. It is reported that the middle school was holding a school-wide meeting in the conference room at the time. After the incident, all the teachers and students of the school were in the conference room.
Unfortunately, a total of eight people in the middle school lost their lives in this incident, four men and four women, one of whom was a male teacher of the school, and the rest were students.
Currently, the cause of the accident is under investigation. 】
After the car channel in the car played the message, it automatically played a piece of pure music, which was the Ninth Symphony.
The rain was pouring down, the wind was raging, and the blue car was driving fast on the road.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was heard in the car. The music was poignant and melodious, forming a strong contrast with the bad atmosphere outside.
The young man with blond hair and golden eyes held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stared straight ahead. The rain kept beating on the car window, making a "dong-dong" sound, giving people a sense of fear like thunder falling.
"Abraham, change the song."
The purple-haired girl sitting in the passenger seat muttered to the blond young man driving.
“Isn’t the Ninth Symphony bad?”
Xia Xiu’s fingers on the steering wheel are moving in unison with the light and jumping rhythm of the Ninth Symphony, which is full of vitality and spirituality. With.
The street lights illuminated the road ahead, and the rain cast a dark tone under the light.
The blue car is driving on the road, and every drop of rain seems to be hitting the car body, making a "tick-tick" sound. The temperature inside the car is just right, and the temperature of the air conditioner has been adjusted to the ideal temperature. .
Although the view in front of the car was blurred by the rain, he still held the steering wheel firmly and drove steadily.
The wheels kept splashing water, and the trees on the road looked particularly desolate in the heavy rain, like rows of dripping loneliness. After passing a curve, the wheels made a creaking sound.
"Who listens to the Ninth Symphony in the rain?" Ahabat couldn't help but complain to Xia Xiu.
"Then you can decide what you want to hear." Xia Xiu said casually.
[Hope] Pressed the switch on the car audio on the spot, and a quiet, soft melody and singing came from it.
【Everyone has those days
When they don’t want to do anything
Just sit in silence——】
After replacing the slightly heavy Ninth Symphony, Ahabat lay back on the seat behind her with a comfortable look on her face. She asked Xia Xiu:
"Why did you come to the fog again this time?" It’s all gone.”
After dealing with [Absence] and [Domination], Ahabat felt that Xia Xiu had become more relaxed. They had been traveling in the Berlin area for the past two days, well, Although it's mainly just her playing.
During the two days when I was having a lot of fun, the other party has been reading the newspaper, and then drinking coffee, tea, and happy soda...
Abraham and She did not reject pleasure. She remembered that the other party once quoted a poet to her.
The secret to eternal youth is an unbridled passion for pleasure.
Well, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this sentence was very reasonable and in line with her life goals and standards.
"There are Adistat's footprints in the Fog City area." The blond young man stared at the road ahead, and then said these words to Ahabat as if he were chatting at home.
"Adistat appeared in the City of Fog... Hey, wait, you mean [Angry] is in the City of Fog now?!"
[Hope] At the beginning She just subconsciously repeated the words of the blond young man, and then she suddenly reacted, staring at the other's handsome profile with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"How did you determine her location? I don't remember that you have the ability to divine." [Hope] asked Xia Xiu doubtfully.
“Do you remember the types of reports I have read in the past few days?”
“Well..., let me think about it——”
[Hope] Momo Holding her chin, her little mind quickly recalled the reports that Xia Xiu had read in the past two days. After the other party reminded her, she really remembered that the reports that the other party had read recently were very specific.
“Ah, I remembered it, it’s the “Youyang Criminal Record Report”!”
A flash of inspiration made Ahabat remember the types of reports Xia Xiu had read in the past two days.
“But does this have anything to do with how you know Adistat?” Ahabat still asked with a puzzled look.
"What is the name of Adistat's [Module] ability?" Xia Xiu asked back to the dumbfounded [Hope].
"[A Clockwork Orange]." [Hope] replied without thinking.
After hearing Ahbat's answer, the corners of the blond young man's mouth turned up, and he said with a smile:
"On a rainy day, [A Clockwork Orange] is the perfect match for the Ninth Symphony."
"Huh?"
[Hope] was confused again, looking at the Riddler again The blond young man couldn't help but feel depressed again.
As expected, the Riddler is very annoying!
Damn the Riddler! ! !
[Mondays always make me feel lost
If there were only Sundays
There would be no need to escape——]
“We’re here at Brookrent.” Xia Xiu stared ahead. The looming halo said slowly.
The halo ahead is emitted by the street lamp.
Amidst the melodious singing, the blue car drove into the Brookrent District. The lights around it were no longer just the car itself, but also countless street lights standing around the administrative district.
The blue car drove into the area, and the raindrops hit the car window like needles, making a "tick, tick, tick" sound. The car under the warm yellow light inside the car was in harmony with the strong wind outside. The heavy rain provided a stark contrast.
From time to time, the light of street lights shines on the car, and disappears as the street lights leave. The atmosphere inside the car becomes even more silent and peaceful, accompanied by the lyrical songs being played. Looking at the houses that were moving back, Ahabat curiously asked Xia Xiu:
“Where should we go next?”
"Brookrent Regional Police Station, I believe the police officers there should have ugly expressions right now."
The blond young man said as he looked at the area in front of him where the rain was shaking.
·········
Brookrent Regional Police Department.
The rain kept beating on the glass windows, and the lights looked particularly bright in the dark night.
Tonight, the atmosphere here is extremely tense.
The police officers in the duty room all looked tired. In the superintendent's office, the depressive atmosphere reached its extreme.
“Robbery, assault, murder...the criminal methods of murder are so consistent. And the criminal is even more provocative and commits crimes one after another in Brookrent. How do you want me to sit idly by in this situation? !”
Superintendent Godwin was suppressing his anger and questioned the thaumaturge from the [Clock Tower] on the other end of the phone in his hand.
"This is not something we can control. Godwin, if you don't want your police officers to get into trouble, don't interfere in this matter." A rather helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It seems that a supernatural crime has been committed. Will the [Clock Tower] send a thaumaturge to deal with this matter?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Godwin's lips at some point.
“As usual, after processing, cast your [Forgetting Curse] on us Muggles or let those black men in suits come with sprays and potions to clean our memories. . ”
“Don’t be weird to me, you should know that this is a special period, and there are a lot of troubles happening in Youyang these days! Something has happened, it’s not that we don’t want to take care of it, it’s that we can’t! ”
Godwin's words obviously angered the staff in the [Clock Tower] opposite. If it weren't for the "Extraordinary Administrative Regulations" proposed by the Kingdom of Heaven, the staff in the [Clock Tower] would not even pay attention to these stupid Muggles.
Hearing the answer on the other end of the phone, Godwin also fell silent, and his hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.
“····I know.”
Godwin finally put down the phone in his hand weakly. He sat on the office chair a little decadently, and then habitually took it from the drawer. Take out the cigarette box and take one out.
Godwin put the cigarette to his mouth and lit it.
Godwin's tall and thin body was slightly hunched over. He held a cigarette in his right hand and kept blowing out the lingering smoke. His brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy, as if there was something bothering him that was weighing him down.
As for the increasingly tense situation in the central government in recent years, Godwin, as a government agency employee, can naturally feel it. In the past, he could still hear sporadic news reports about [proxy war] from the front, but in recent years, these Reports basically come every three days.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how terrifying the military alliance between the Oletin Empire and the Daevite Empire is, and the Sixteen Kingdoms of Oaxaca, which serve as a buffer zone between the two empires, are now at the end of their tether, even if Even if Youyang provided them with supplies like a bloodletting, they couldn't resist the crazy rubbing of the two superpowers.
The recent actions of the Edici Federation have also been very ambiguous. Various bills that look very wrong have been continuously passed by the federal parliament. The outrageousness of these bills even makes it look a bit like a normal country.
Well, it literally means that it is not like a normal country. This is not some weird thing.
Within the Youyang Alliance, the Wudu government and the [Clock Tower] recently put forward a referendum proposal on the Wudu area's proposal to leave the Youyang Alliance.
When Godwin first saw this proposal, his mind didn't turn around for a moment.
Who the hell came up with this thing, and also gave the right of choice to the people. This is really too free.
If it weren't for the recent growing controversy, Godwin can guarantee that this proposal will definitely be passed, and the Wudu area will truly succeed in becoming completely independent from Youyang.
There was silence in the office at this time, except for the sounds of vehicles driving and raindrops hitting the windows from time to time.
Godwin was immersed in his own thoughts, panting heavily from time to time, and pinching the cigarette butt involuntarily with his fingers.
"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring..."
The phone rang again, with a sharp ringing tone, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
The sound was like a sharp blade, suddenly cutting a crack in the quiet air. Godwin subconsciously looked towards the other end of the phone, staring at the deafening voice. In the quiet environment, the voice was like a terrifying monster, devouring his extremely sensitive nerves.
Godwin is now full of hesitation about the phone.
In the recent period, officers from multiple police districts under the Brookrent Regional Police have been calling me for consultation. These calls are all related to the recent cases of egregious nature.
The worst thing is that two police officers have died during the investigation of the case.
Godwin collected his emotions and pretended to be calm and picked up the phone.
"Hello, hello."
"Hello, Superintendent Godwin." A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself first, I am Sharon Uliphis."
Uliphis, I remember this surname is [Clock Tower] ·····
Godwin suddenly remembered something, and he said excitedly:
"Have the monarchs decided to interfere in this matter?"
"No, [Clock Tower] will enter a state of complete silence in the near future. We will not interfere with any events in the Fog City area."
The answer on the other end of the phone was like a basin of cold liquid. It directly extinguished Godwin's finally raised expectations.
As if feeling Godwin's loss, Sharon on the other end of the phone quickly came up with a useful piece of news.
“However, [Clock Tower] is not involved, it does not mean that others are not involved.”
Godwin seemed to have thought of something, and he said with some uncertainty:
"You mean..., those men in black?"
"This is your secular name. The correct name should be the angels of heaven, and these angels also have specific classes..." As an academic, Sharon couldn't help but correct the other party, and introduced Godwin one by one like an old scholar.
Godwin was obviously not listening to Sharon Uliphis' nonsense.
In his impression, the efficiency of those men in black was several orders of magnitude higher than the [Clock Tower].
"What's the name of the angel in black?" Godwin asked after Sharon finished her nonsense.
"Hugh Abraham."
