"You're back?"
The father was in a strange mood, but he still pulled up a chair and asked Dai to sit down. The two sisters went to look through the gifts that Dai had brought back.
Dai looked at her lovely sisters and smiled unconsciously.
Brother Lan En was silent, went to pour a glass of cold water, and came over: "Dai, you are back... We haven't seen you for two years, and we thought you would never come back."
"How could it be? Haven't I always sent letters?" Dai shook her head and said, "I will not abandon you."
Her father looked at her for a while: "The letters you sent are a bit too false. We all...can't believe your experience."
Dai was slightly stunned.
She then handed over the package in her hand and looked at her brother in front of her:
"Brother, our family is rich."
"Get ready, we will move out of here in two days... I brought a lot of money back this time."
Brother Lan En looked through the money in the package and was completely stunned.
He shouted in great surprise: "Are you really working as a maid? How come you have so much money?"
Dai brought back a lot of money, which was enough for them to leave the slum and change to a brand new residence and a brand new living environment in an urban area with better security.
She took a deep breath and her expression became serious:
"I came back this time to pick you up... If you continue to stay here, my two sisters may end up on the rotten and smelly road like those girls who became prostitutes... Brother, you and your father are also We should live in a better environment, that’s what I want.”
Dai paused and then said:
"Now that I have the opportunity to change everything, I can't just sit back and do nothing."
The older sister Mary looked back with a complicated look on her face and hesitated to speak.
Dai's father was silent, and his brother Lan En asked seriously again: "Are these really the money you earned as a maid?"
He seemed to be in disbelief. Here in the slums, even if the two sisters worked on sewing machines in factories for ten years, they would never be able to make so much money.
"Personal maid, the income is not low, and Viscount Edmond is very generous." Dai replied with a smile. In fact, she even borrowed a lot of money from Carol.
Carol said at the time that when Dai came back, she would pinch her feet every day in exchange for interest.
The family suddenly fell silent.
After a while, the silence was broken.
"Did you have an affair with that Viscount?" the dull father suddenly said.
Dai hesitated for a while before answering seriously: "Actually, there are better-looking girls by his side as personal maids... Don't think too much."
"Impossible! There can be no one more beautiful than my sister!" The youngest sister jumped and shouted!
Dai's brother whispered in a low voice: "No one will dislike having so many beauties around him... Dai, you have to work hard..."
Dai shook her head, she couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother, please, let's not talk about this topic for now. I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Okay." Lan En nodded and then went to cook.
Dai was a little surprised. She thought it would be her sister Mary who was cooking. The two of them were usually very idle.
The family members who had not seen each other for two years were still a little embarrassed when they first met, but Dai and her youngest sister soon started playing together... But she keenly discovered that the family members seemed to have something on their mind.
Dai noticed that her sister Mary was originally very lively, but today she seemed to be in a daze, hesitant, with a complicated expression on her face.
When the meal was served, Dai finally couldn't help but ask:
"What happened? What happened in the two years I was gone...are you hiding it from me?"
“…”
Several family members looked at each other and hesitated. Only the youngest sister was confused and said: "What happened in the past two years? Oh, I must have grown taller! Sister!"
"It's her business..."
The "she" mentioned by her brother Lan En is obviously her sister, Mary, who is only three years younger than Dai.
"We've found her a new job here."
My father suddenly couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Is that work?"
"Stop talking, brother." Mary lowered her head and said, "I won't cause trouble to my sister and you. You can move to other cities as soon as possible. I'll just stay here..."
Dai felt that something was wrong, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted very loudly: "Tell me! What is going on?"
Several people were stunned when they heard her roar.
Two years ago, Dai wouldn't have dared to speak loudly to her father and brother, but after two years of not seeing each other and having been exposed to the upper class society, she has become a different person.
Brother Lan En sighed and finally explained the truth: "The boss of a gang fell in love with Mary and wanted her to be his lover. If we don't agree, they might all become prostitutes... And you should understand that for our family, Said, this is a good future even for Mary, and she never thought about not agreeing, so she has already collected the money.”
Dai's head was a little dazed.
This is actually the case, yes, his sister has grown up, and her beauty is not inferior to his own.
Although it is not as stunning and unforgettable as Carol's beauty, how could no one care about her in a place like this
And my brother is right. If he hadn't walked out of the slums and gotten to where he is today, being the lover of a gang boss would actually be a good way out.
Dai knew that some of her childhood friends, even if she could not confirm it with her own eyes, were probably now the depraved and smelly prostitutes that could be seen everywhere in the slums.
Compared with the tragic fate that is not uncommon, being the lover of a gang boss is already very good.
"Have you collected the money?" When Dai asked, she felt that her voice was getting hoarse.
Brother Lan En nodded again with a serious expression: "Well, they just threw the money here. We don't have the courage to send it back... The boss said that Mary should stay at home for a few more days to spend time with her family before going over."
Dai knew that this gang leader was a very well-behaved person in the slums. At least he didn't directly snatch Mary back and use her as a slave and a toy.
Instead, he gave her money and allowed her to stay at home with her family for a few more days.
"You have to take Mary away!"
At this moment, the silent father suddenly spoke and said very seriously: "Since the fall of the Heart of Light, things have started to go wrong in the slums..."
Something's wrong? Dai couldn't understand.
The father continued: "In the past week, there have been a lot of rumors and crazy remarks in these three districts. Many people say that the world is about to be destroyed. Maybe you don't know, but in fact, they have broken out one after another in the fourteenth and fifteenth districts. With a bloody conflict involving tens of thousands of people, it will only be a matter of time before a great chaos breaks out here!"
"how come?"
Dai found it unbelievable. Although there were all kinds of uneasiness and rumors around Tulip Manor, people generally continued their daily lives.
People in the upper class have no intention of stopping celebrations and banquets.
Peacefulness.
Even though the Heart of Light fell, he had no followers in the Kingdom of Dark Light.
The Dark Light Savior defeated the God of Outer Worlds and saved the world. It was even regarded as another great achievement, and would be repeatedly promoted to people as a "great victory".
Even if everyone is hiding their uneasiness, they still do not disrupt the order, but live normally.
However, the following urban areas are already in such chaos
Why haven't I heard any relevant news in Tulip Manor
Father seemed to have seen through Dai's thoughts, and there was a strange smile on his face, which seemed to be sarcastic and helpless:
"Hey, the people above won't know our life and death, and they won't care at all... I personally experienced a turmoil when I was a child. Thousands of people in the entire neighborhood were killed overnight, but the high priest They covered things up easily, and the people above would know nothing at all.”
"Because they don't care about the fate of the scum at all."
Dai was silent for a long time, then she raised her head and said firmly:
"I understand, but I will not abandon anyone. Our whole family has to move away from here!"
Brother Lan En couldn't help but ask: "So, what are you going to do? How do you return the money to the gang leader? You don't want to go to where he lives to pay back the money, do you? That's really a stupid idea. .”
Dai immediately stood up, packed his things and prepared to leave temporarily: "I will ask someone to solve this matter, Viscount Edmond. For him, it is only a small matter to protect our family. He can also send someone to repay the money for us."
My father suddenly became angry and shouted: "Don't be stupid, he is a nobleman, a high-class man. You have never even slept with him. Do you think he will care about you? You are just a servant!"
"Mr. Viscount is different."
Dai recalled that moment.
There was tenderness and annoyance in his eyes when he saw the cat scratches on his arms.
If you plead with him, beg him, or even kneel down and cry, he will definitely help you.
Then, what should we do to repay him? Go to bed with him
Then maybe, it’s better to climb high on your own.
Dai sighed.
The father was emotional and still roaring: "It's different? What's the difference? Don't be stupid, I have seen so many nobles over the years, those priests, nobles, gang bosses, they are all wearing different skins, and they are aloof. demon!"
Dai was stunned. The father in her impression was not so emotional.
In the past two years, he may have drank too much... or maybe it was because of various recent events that made him too depressed.
"The two high priests who manage the Thirteenth City District, how many lovers do they have, thirty, forty, fifty? No, more than a hundred! For them, ordinary people are just collectibles and toys. ! Even most people don’t even have that value! They are all beasts!”
"Mr. Viscount Edmond, he is different." Dai stared at her father angrily.
The father was slightly startled, seeing a special emotion in his daughter's eyes, and instead sneered: "If he is really different, he will eventually be ostracized by the upper class and will not end well."
Dai left.

Dai's father sat on the bed, fell into a deep silence, and continued to drink.
Suddenly, a soft voice appeared in his heart.
[You are angry, scared, and even despair of this world]
The father was stunned for a moment, then asked fearfully:
"You, who are you?"
[They call me 'Evil Ghoul', and also call me 'Vengeance Saint'... But actually that's not me, I'm just a person who likes to help others fulfill their wishes.]
[My power can make you strong and have the possibility of revenge against the strong. Those people will not understand, but I understand that even the weak need to be respected.]
Dai's father lowered his head slightly, and there was a different light in his eyes.
The soft voice continued to speak.
[The gods conducted an unfair trial on the incarnation of the moon, the 'Witch of the End'. Now, the Heart of Light has finally suffered retribution and perished... But the crisis of world destruction still exists, and the Witch Order will... Bringing you new hope... Become strong, there will be no more oppression from now on! All we need is strength!]
A flame like the moonlight suddenly appeared in front of my father's eyes.
It is so beautiful and brilliant.
Fascinating.
—
Dai sat in the carriage, hugging her knees with her hands, lowering her head, feeling very uneasy inside.
For some reason, she always had a bad feeling after hearing what her father said.
She has lived in a slum since she was a child and has often seen bloody conflicts, but she knows that although there is chaos here, it also has its own order.
"It's so deserted." Dai looked outside the carriage.
In fact, when I was young, the neighborhood around my home must have been very lively, and poor people were still trying their best to live. While they used alcohol, gambling, and whoring to anesthetize themselves, they also hoped to live a better life tomorrow.
The streets have never been so deserted.
The faces of the people I occasionally see also have uneasiness and vigilance, as if a war is coming and everything is wrong.
The seemingly calm Annotales is actually undercurrent.
Perhaps one day, all the familiar order will collapse and cease to exist.
The happiness that I just held in my hands will turn into nothingness.
Dai's fingers clenched tightly.
Dark Light Savior...Why...sequence exists in our country
Why in your heart, why are the people here not worth saving…
Dai bit her lip.
