The carriage stopped at a street corner not far from the Winchester office, deliberately keeping a distance, neither too far nor too close. The window was opened, revealing half of the face, and in the darkness behind it, Shrike's face was revealed. He peeked into the office, then moved his gaze back.
"They all look pretty happy... maybe."
Shrike said uncertainly.
He would pass by the door of the office when he had nothing to do, but his mentality was different from Eve's. Every time Shrike passed by, he seemed a little deliberate. Although so much time had passed, he still felt it was incredible that a monster like Lorenzo could live here so ordinary.
Before Mrs. Van Luder left, the lights in the room were not very bright, with only a few spots of light in the living room. After Mrs. Van Luder left, Lorenzo completely let himself go. Relying on his witcher's eyesight, he rarely turned on the lights, and the office fell into darkness.
Many passers-by had whispered about this, wondering if anyone was living here at all. But today was different. The office was brightly lit, as if all the lights were on.
"So what's the matter with this vacation? So sudden?" Shrike asked.
Due to the structure of the Purification Agency, there is always a shortage of manpower, so most of the time the members of the Purification Agency have no vacation to speak of. The only thing that can barely be considered a vacation is the recovery period after fighting the demons, when everyone will enjoy a rare period of peace in the hospital.
To be honest, the Purging Agency is really a black-hearted factory. What's worse is that it is easy to get into this factory but difficult to get out.
Shrike was puzzled by this sudden vacation. One or two days was neither long nor short, but those guys were granted leave. Also, there was the gathering place, and the vacation was at this time. All of this made Shrike feel confused.
The other person in the carriage did not respond, and Arthur's face was also hidden in the darkness. He looked out the window, staring at the office, paused for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"Shrike, we succeeded."
"Successful in what?"
Shrike didn't understand what Arthur said. He was completely confused, like a Peeping Tom.
Arthur said nonchalantly.
"We succeeded in imprisoning the demon and tightening the chain around his neck."
…
"Finally... it's over."
Eve's figure was swaying. After saying this, she seemed to have lost all her strength and knelt down on the carpet helplessly.
She was in a wonderful mood now. She suddenly understood the hard work of the working people and no longer felt guilty for not making the quilt when she got up.
If you zoom out, you'll notice that the sofa in the living room is already full of people. Everyone is exhausted from trying to make this office suitable for human habitation.
Lorenzo ran back and forth in front of several people. As a beneficiary of today's general cleaning, he served tea and water along the way, and massaged the legs and waists of several good brothers who worked hard.
"Push harder... Push harder! Didn't you eat?"
The Red Falcon was lying on Lorenzo's body, giving orders like a boss, and Lorenzo could only squeeze him with a smile because of the situation, although he had the ability to break the Red Falcon's legs directly.
