Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 506: Math is important

Views:

Fucas drove a bulletproof off-road vehicle, carrying his two children, all the way out of the Golden Apple District, through the Red Giant Wolf District, and arrived at an ordinary-looking five-story apartment in the Green Olive District.

Not too far from this apartment, stands the Ugo Hotel.

Fucas parked the car in a nearby alley, carried his two children, and walked into the apartment calmly.

Instead of going up, he went straight to the basement entrance.

There were two men in ordinary clothes guarding in the shadows there.

As soon as they saw Phokas, they immediately clenched their fists, beat their heads lightly, and did not stop them.

Phocas nodded lightly and pushed open the door with his elbow.

Through a narrow corridor, Phokas came to a hall.

At the end of the hall stood a stone statue, and in front of the statue there were rows and rows of simple floor coverings.

At this moment, many people were already lying on these bunks, all of them closed their eyes and seemed to be asleep.

Phokas walked to the stone statue, and on the way, he put his two children on the empty floor.

In fact, it's hard to call it a floor covering. They just lay a stack of white sheets on the stone bricks in the hall. There is no essential difference from lying directly on the ground. It is very hard and very uncomfortable.

Sleeping on it is almost torture.

Finally, Phocas came to the stone statue.

This statue is different from all its kind, its face is not carved with facial features, but inlaid with an ordinary mirror.

When Phocas raised his head and looked at the head of the statue, he naturally saw himself.

He clenched his fist, beat his head lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"I will live forever."

After the salute, Phokas turned around, returned to his two children, and found a simple bunk to lie down.

The hard touch tortured his waist, reminding him of the beginning.

Since his wife suffered from "intentional disease", and he, a noble, general, and an awakened person at the level of "Spiritual Corridor", was unable to stop him and could only watch, he joined this "True Self Teaching" that worships "Dawn". ", became a "Dream Breaker".

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Phokas' eyes closed and his breathing became rapid.

He passed out.

Golden Apple District, in the Ombudsman's mansion.

Alexander's housekeeper led the visiting Cynthia into one of the living rooms.

Cynthia was twenty-seven or eight-year-old, tall and tall, with long lustrous flaxen hair and eyes of the same color that seemed to be able to speak.

Today, in a long black dress with exposed shoulders, a diamond necklace, bracelet and brooch, she looks regal and elegant, but nothing special.

"Your Excellency Ombudsman." Cynthia looked at Alexander and gave a respectful salute.

Her gaze then swept across the living room to see how many people were there.

"A..." This refers to Ombudsman Alexander.

"A..." Cynthia's eyes slid across Galolan's face.

"Two..." Cynthia glanced at the housekeeper beside her.

"Three, four..." Cynthia saw the two guards who were in charge of protecting Alexander.

A total of four people... She nodded slightly in her heart.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you coming so late?" Alexander cleared his throat and asked.

Cynthia looked around and said hesitantly:

"Can you trouble them to wait outside the door?"

She often visited the Ombudsman's mansion and had a private relationship with Alexander, so the suggestion was not excessive.

As one of the two giants of the "First City", Alexander himself has enough power to protect himself.

Alexander frowned invisibly, hesitated for a moment and said:

"You go outside and watch."

He clearly ordered the housekeeper and guards, but his eyes were looking at his youngest daughter Galoran.

Galolan stood there indifferently, as if he didn't feel his father's gaze.

At the same time, the housekeeper and the two guards walked out of the living room without a word and with gentle footsteps.

The former closed the door very carefully, and then, together with the two guards, stayed outside, not letting anyone approach.

Seeing this, Cynthia took two steps forward and said with a little panic and fear:

"Your Excellency the Ombudsman, the murderer of the citizen assembly bombing caught by the 'Hand of Order' identified Elder Varro as the manipulator, and General Gaius took the opportunity to call all citizens in the city for a rally tomorrow morning.

"This, this reminds me of some bad rumors.

"Your Excellency Inspector, if you don't come forward to stop it, there will be chaos in the city at first!"

While speaking, Cynthia approached Alexander and tried to reach out and hold the old man's arm to appease her terrified heart.

Alexander glanced sideways at his youngest daughter Galoran, and retracted his arms slightly embarrassedly:

"Ma'am, don't do this."

Before Cynthia responded, Alexander pointed to the coffee table in the living room:

"Ma'am, calm down, how about a cup of tea first?"

There were two cups of tea, one belonging to Alexander and one that Galoran had drank.

Cynthia followed Alexander's fingers, and instinctively counted how many cups of tea there were:

"One cup, three cups... well, three cups of tea in total.

"Which two did the Inspector chat with here before?"

Amidst the thoughts, Cynthia pursed her lips and said:

"Okay, okay."

Her lips are pinkish and pearlescent, and they look very attractive.

Alexander forced himself to look away and swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

He hurriedly greeted the housekeeper and asked him to bring another cup of tea.

At this time, Galolan had already found a place to sit down, showing a state of being at ease with the situation, with no intention of leaving.

Soon, the housekeeper brought a cup of black tea, and then left the room gently with hands and feet.

Cynthia picked up the cup and tried to take a sip, but because of the fear and fear remaining in her body, her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she accidentally knocked the teacup over.

"Oops..." She quickly stood up, the clothes on her chest were already wet.

With a gentleman's demeanor, Alexander wanted to step forward to help, but he glanced at the wet part, then glanced at the little daughter next to him, and stopped on his own.

Cynthia was in a hurry for a while, and seeing no response, she had to take out a tissue and wipe it herself.

"Lord Inspector, look..." While wiping the clothes on her chest, she thought that she might have to go to the bathroom to deal with it.

According to the words "Look at", Alexander looked at Cynthia's chest, only to feel that the arc was beautiful and indescribably moving.

He suddenly felt that he was on fire, something was brewing rapidly in his heart, and it was about to boil.

But... Alexander looked sideways at his youngest daughter Galoran, who was sitting beside him, and couldn't help complaining about Cynthia in his heart:

Can't we see the occasion

How can you act like no one else is here

Alexander raised his face and said in a deep voice:

"Ma'am, I already know what you want to express, and I will maintain the stability of the original city.

"Okay, you can go back. It's easy to catch cold if your clothes are wet."

Cynthia was stunned for a while, and her expression did not recover until the housekeeper was instructed to come in and ask her to leave.

She has never seen such an Inspector Alexander!

When Cynthia's back disappeared at the door, Alexander turned around, looked at his youngest daughter Galoran, and frowned slightly:

"Is this one of your abilities?"

Galoran replied very peacefully:

"yes."

Alexander was silent for a while, and sighed long:

"You are completely different now than you were before."

Galoran showed a slight smile:

"You probably don't know what the price is for me."

"Huh?" Alexander asked questioningly.

How can you casually say the price you paid

Unless it's not too easy to target.

At this time, Galolan suddenly whispered, "Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate".

Then she said casually:

"character."

The price she paid was character.

The Red Giant Wolf District, in the safe house prepared by the "Old Tune Team".

Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Long Yuehong said with a sigh of relief:

"I thought there would be unrest last night."

After all, such a terrifying existence as Xiaochong has taken action, it is easy to trigger an overreaction.

In addition, the explosions created by the "old tune group" were also stimulating the sensitive nerves of everyone in the city.

"It seems that the strength and stability of the original city are stronger than we thought. Those big guys should have been very busy last night." Jiang Baimian nodded in agreement, "If there is no problem with the internal structure of such a skyscraper, it depends on external forces. , it is difficult to create unrest.”

Shang Jianyao thought about it seriously, and said to Long Yuehong:

"You can say something. For example, I am only 1.75 meters high after genetic improvement, and my grades are also average. For example, there should be no turmoil for us to use this time."

"Hey..." Long Yuehong was angry and funny.

Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, sighed, and said in a serious tone:

"It's time for us to go out and get the radio transceiver."

They also have to keep an eye on the development of this citizens' rally.
