Chapter 130: Why so serious?

Views:

In the Hunting Hall in Kaimon City, Deputy Captain Amy walked through the bright and magnificent corridor and pushed open the door.

"Director, give me the inspection order and I will take control of the radio station right away!"

Behind the long table carved from ebony, there were two transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing the glory of the blood moon to splash onto the curly-haired woman sitting on the red leather chair without any hindrance. Her uniform looked a bit sloppy because several buttons were unbuttoned, her silver hair, which should have been beautiful, was a mess like a chicken coop, and her delicate face was completely ruined by heavy eye bags and clown-like dark circles.

Hearing the door open, she closed the light curtain: "Is it time to get off work?"

"What do you mean off duty? The jailbreak prisoners haven't been caught yet!" Aimi came over and slammed the table: "I notified the radio station to interrupt the live broadcast of the trial, but they refused. Director, please sign the inspection order for me quickly, and I will lead the team to eliminate them!"

"Just say this here, don't tarnish the reputation of the Criminal Hunting Office outside." The director said calmly, "Gerald, who receives a hundred letters of complaint every month, is enough for me to bear."

"Director, inspection order!"

"To inspect the radio station, we need the cooperation of the Government Affairs Office. Have you contacted Deputy Mayor Gu Luo?"

Speaking of this, Ai Mi became even angrier: "I called the Government Affairs Office, but only the mayor's secretary answered. He said the deputy mayor was in an emergency meeting with other departments and couldn't reply for the time being!"

"Isn't this normal? When a prisoner escapes, all departments must be mobilized to make emergency plans—"

"He did it on purpose! He just wanted to drag it out until Financier died in the trial, and then he, as the deputy mayor, could go one step further and get rid of that deputy!"

"Don't think of people as bad. Under the glory of the blood moon, all the bad guys are in prison." The director said dimly, "The Criminal Hunting Department is under the control of the Government Affairs Department. Without orders from the Government Affairs Department, we cannot casually inspect radio stations of the same level."

"Are we just going to watch the trial go on?!"

"why not?"

The director scratched his head and said, "Not only the government affairs office, but also the research institute and the church haven't said anything. They are not anxious, so why are you anxious?"

"but-"

"Don't forget, the person who can truly dominate the trial is not in the prison, but in the city, outside, here." The director spread his hands: "Why are you so serious?"

The director brought up such a "correct statement", and Amy was speechless for a moment, and her big wolf tail drooped. She pursed her lips and pounded the table in dissatisfaction: "Tsk, why are the pastors indifferent to this..."

"You know you're very strong at night, and my table can't stand your banging." The director complained: "As for why, it's not a big deal."

"Isn't this a big deal?"

"Amy, how old are you?"

“I’m a 20-something.”

"Oh, then he's only in his forties, no wonder there's such a fuss."

"So what if I'm young?"

"When you get older, you will know that those things you think are serious are just trivial episodes that are not worth mentioning when compared with the scale of hundreds or thousands of years." The director raised her dark circles and said, "In comparison, abiding by the rules is more important."

"Moon Shadow guards life, Blood Saint guards death, this is our rule. Other than that, you must not interfere, and let the secular world manage itself."

What the director said made so much sense that Ai Mi could only clench her fists unwillingly, her fluffy tail standing up: "... Yes!"

"Go back to work and remember to close the door. And can you please tuck in your tail? It's very troublesome to clean up the hair on the carpet."

Amy shook her head repeatedly: "No, permanently fixing a part of Moon Shadow's features is a symbol of my strength! And everyone likes it!"

The director covered his face and sighed: "The church and the institute really just shove troublemakers here... Do they think this is an adult care facility..."

When Amy closed the office door, she suddenly heard laughter coming from inside.

"Ha, this Ash is quite interesting. I have to ask Gerard to spare his life."

Damn!

It was obvious that the director wanted to see this farce, so he refused to sign the inspection order. He was almost fooled by her!

Subconsciously, Ai Mi wanted to rush in and reason with them, but at this moment she suddenly remembered the joke about the Blood Saint that the old pastor had told her.

"When the Blood Saints become interested, the only way to stop them is to nail them in the coffin - the faster blood flow of bats will cause their IQ to drop."

So Amy gave up, and returned to her department with a rage, sat down and turned on the light curtain - she wanted to see what tricks Ash could come up with!

... ... .

...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

On the red stone pillar of Broken Lake, Finanxue coughed twice and spat out two mouthfuls of smelly black blood. His abdomen was itchy and sore, and his clothes were sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable. Coupled with the dizziness of just waking up, he suddenly thought he was back in his youth.

Born in the "Bang Skull" foster home, he had to squeeze out time to study every day from the gaps between fights. It was a foster home located in the lower city of Kaimen City, and most of the foster objects were orcs and ogres. The director with a sharp look did not like these two blue and green races, but simply because the support subsidies for these two races were high.

For high-end orphanages like Emerald Garden, not only will the government office not provide funding, but the orphanage will also have to pay a large sum of money to select babies from the hospital.

This is because all adults who leave the orphanage must deduct 10% of their first 15 years of work income as "return" to the orphanage. The Jade Garden Orphanage is clearly on the brightest and greatest path: do their best to train outstanding talents, and then use the "return" of outstanding talents to strengthen the orphanage, continue to select high-quality infants, and continue to train outstanding talents for society.

It can be said that the double first-class foster homes such as Feicui Garden are all taking this positive cycle route, and they are also role models for foster homes across the country. However, not all foster homes have such conditions. After all, there are only so many excellent infant sources, so there is another model - cheating for subsidies.

The Stick Skull Foster Home is for orc babies and ogre babies that are not accepted by other foster homes but must be raised in order to "maintain species diversity." In this way, the church will allocate a large amount of funds as subsidies.

The director swallowed up all the funds and adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the babies. Orcs and ogres were easy to raise anyway, and he would kick them out as soon as they reached adulthood. He didn't care about the "reward" they received after their work.

In Yingyuan, orcs and ogres are the lowest class of creatures. Not only are they difficult to educate, have low average IQs, and are disobedient to discipline, they are also ugly in appearance (compared to standard races) and have sloppy living habits.

Therefore, the Stick Skull Orphanage is no different from the wild. Everyone shits and lives casually. When it is time for dinner, someone will push a few food buckets in, and then everyone will rush to grab the food, which will then develop into a racial fight. When they are all covered in bruises, they will lie down and sleep, and then the day will be over.

The outside world will not have any objection to this. The orphanage will call it "original ecological upbringing" and it will even receive praise from all walks of life.

Many scholars believe that this is to release the nature of orcs and ogres, to show respect to blue-skinned and green-skinned people, and to provide quality education that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Then they will turn around and criticize the Emerald Garden and other foster homes for placing too much emphasis on academic performance, erasing children's nature, and depriving them of their childhood...

Born in a civilized country, Financier grew up in this "primitive" environment.
