"Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Pollitt."
There were three people standing outside the door, led by a beautiful lady.
She has a plump figure and long wavy brown hair. Her face is bare of makeup but her beautiful features are still prominent.
The two people standing behind her were both wearing gray hoods covering their faces, which looked suspicious in broad daylight.
The two men were tall, but their breathing was as weak and dying as that of a lung patient.
The two men stared at Ms. Pollitt who opened the door for them, and the look in their eyes expressed a disregard for life, as well as a hint of threat.
Ms. Pollitt pretended to have a professional smile, but the drop of cold sweat slowly sliding down her forehead proved her nervousness and anxiety at the moment.
Ms. Pollitt lowered her head, invited the three people to the banquet room, and whispered to the woman in the lead,
"Please, let my poor child go."
The beautiful woman smiled slightly and did not respond to Ms. Pollitt's words. Instead, she picked up the vase on the fireplace and looked at it.
"It's beautiful china, isn't it?"
Ms. Pollitt was stunned. Not knowing how to answer, she nodded and said,
"This is Zhongyuan blue and white porcelain that Mr. Eugene bought from a Japanese merchant. It is one of Mr. Eugene's favorite collections."
"Oh, really?"
The woman didn't even turn her head, as if she was truly appreciating this piece of porcelain.
"It's a pity that such a monotonous color reminds me of your son's frightened face.
I brought you a little gift, I hope you like it."
After that, she took out something wrapped in yellow burlap from her pocket.
The woman did not open the burlap, but threw it into the bottle through the mouth, put the vase back in its place, and then sat down.
Ms. Pollitt went forward to take a look and almost broke the porcelain vase.
As it fell, an object wrapped in burlap rolled out. It was a little finger that had been cut off at the root.
There was no blood at the root of the little finger, obviously it had been treated before being wrapped, and there were some white spots on the little finger nail.
When Ms. Pollitt saw this, she felt her head getting hot and hot blood rushing to her forehead, and she almost fainted.
That is her son's little finger. There are such white spots on every fingernail of her son's hands. That's because Ms. Pollitt's son has been lacking in trace elements such as calcium and zinc for a long time.
Long-term malnutrition in childhood caused Ms. Pollitt's son to lack trace elements in his body, mainly because the family was too poor at that time.
“A woman’s youth is the most precious thing, and I don’t like wasting my youth in useless waiting.
Do you understand, Ms. Pollitt
Your gambling son will return to his lodgings tonight, his debts paid."
Although the woman behaved elegantly, she was actually a real femme fatale.
Ms. Pollitt nodded hurriedly and saved the finger in the bottle preciously, hoping to have a chance to find a surgeon to reattach the finger.
Then Ms. Pollitt left the banquet room. She never wanted to have any contact with these people again. But poor Ms. Pollitt didn't know that her precious son had been cut into pieces.
Veronica changed into decent clothes and slowly walked down from upstairs.
At this time, she is the temporary owner of a house, and she must maintain this elegant manner. Her every move represents the reputation of the owner of the house.
Although it was an annoying red tape, Veronica didn't hate doing it.
She pushed open the door of the banquet room. Ms. Na, who was in the lead, smiled mysteriously at Veronica, while the two men wearing gray hoods gave her unfriendly looks.
Seeing this scene, Veronica's heart trembled. She thought,
"He's here to cause trouble."
Despite this, Veronica still politely bowed to the lady in the lead, and then asked,
"I wonder why everyone from EOD came to visit our Einstar family? Our master is not in Munihei at the moment. I am Veronica, the master's personal maid."
After hearing this, the leading woman leaned forward, crossed her fingers, and placed them at her chin. She looked Veronica up and down and said,
"We at EOD need the support of the Einstar family."
Veronica frowned when she heard this, and thought to herself,
"Is it true that they are defrauding money in the name of charity?"
Veronica was a little unhappy about this, but she didn't show it on her face. She pulled out a chair and sat opposite the woman and asked,
"I wonder what to call this lady?"
"Coreya. Currently the head of EOD's Mooney branch."
The lady who called herself Coreya covered her mouth and smiled. From this little action, Veronica knew that this was definitely not her real name.
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Coreya. What kind of organization is EOD? And why did they come to our Einstar family
Although I cannot make the decision myself, I can understand the situation and convey it to the head of the family for you."
Veronica replied.
The woman who called herself Keleiya tilted her head, glanced at Veronica out of the corner of her eye, and said with a smile,
“EOD is the acronym of our organization, and the full name is Every One Deserves. We all deserve it.
Whether it's food or happiness, this is what everyone deserves in life.
Several years of continuous war have made civilians suffer terribly, and the cruel officials and heavy taxes have made their lives even worse.
We are a non-profit charity organization, our ambition is to make peace continue and let people live a happy life.
The purpose of coming here is to gain support from the wealthy Einsta family.
Whether it is support in the form of money or connections, it is great.
It would be even better if Mr. Eugene and Mr. Herman would join us."
Veronica could tell right away that it was a bunch of lies, and all those nice words before were just a prelude to the last two sentences.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied, Veronica still had to say a few perfunctory words in the spirit of "being a guest". So she asked,
"Oh? I've heard a little bit about EOD. I heard that you've been distributing seafood for free recently?"
“That’s right.
We respect the sea, worship the sea, and believe that the sea will bring us happiness, so we send the gifts of the sea to everyone.
Of course, we at EOD are not just a free seafood wholesaler. We also provide housing repairs, temporary housing and other convenient services for the poor.”
Coreya said with a kind smile.
After Coreya finished speaking, she smoothed her hair with her right hand, and Veronica saw a black mole on her neck.
Veronica vaguely felt that the person in front of her was very similar to someone she had known before, both in his small movements and expressions, but his face and figure looked completely different.
"It sounds very noble, but as a friendly reminder, the Einstar family is Jewish and may not accept your worship of the sea."
Veronica said with a shrug.
"Oh? Really? According to what I heard, they never go to church.
If he is a devout member of the Holy Light Church, how could he not have a cross in his home?"
Coleiya said with a smile.
Veronica raised her eyebrows, "It seems that Miss Keleiya came prepared. I wonder if Miss Keleiya has any understanding of our family?"
“Hehe, I can’t tell you in detail about this, Miss Veronica.
Everyone has little secrets, you and I are no exception.”
Ke Leiya answered mysteriously.
"We've been talking for so long, why don't you introduce these two to me, Ms. Keleiya?"
Veronica turned her gaze to the mysterious man who was staring at her without saying a word.
“Oh, they’re just my bodyguards.
There's no need to panic.
You should know that our EOD beliefs may conflict with the Holy Light Church. In order to protect my safety, these two people were sent by our headquarters to protect me."
Ke Leiya waved her hand and said so.
“In that case, Veronica won’t ask any more questions.
It’s getting late, Miss Keleiya, please go back.”
Veronica ordered the three EOD members to leave, and the uneasiness in her heart began to spread.
Veronica didn't know what made her feel uneasy, but she understood that it might be related to the three people in front of her.
After hearing this, Ke Leya chuckled, stood up and bowed to Veronica.
"In that case, we'll leave first. By the way, I still like the time you painted your nails with iris juice."
After saying that, Keleya left without looking back, and the two men followed her quietly.
Veronica sat in the chair, as if she had lost her mind.
"Iris Juice, who are you? Impossible! No one should have survived the fire."
Veronica's mood at this moment was like a canoe on the edge of a waterfall, panicked and confused.
She had never used iris juice to paint her nails since she became an adult, and she had never told anyone the secret of iris juice before she became a poison master.
I knew that I had the habit of grinding iris flowers and applying them to my nails from a few friends I had when I was young, but the terrifying thing is that these people had apparently died in a fire.
Veronica took a deep breath and tried to sort out her thoughts.
"Let's put aside whether this woman who calls herself Ke Leya has known me before. There must be something wrong with those two people who haven't said a word."
Veronica thought of this and tried hard to recall the details of the two people.
Aside from the fact that they were wrapped in grey hooded robes, the two men's breathing sounds were very strange.
"Silver-haired boy, lend me your intelligence and wisdom!"
Veronica thought so and began to imitate Joe Bruin's reasoning ability.
“These two people are tall and should be two adult males.
The reason why they are wrapped so tightly is probably not just to hide their identities, but they must have something on their bodies that ordinary people don't want to see.
Judging from the clues provided by Coleiya, these two people should be from other places, not local residents of Germany.
Their breathing sounds very strange, and there is a clear difference from that of ordinary people, which is to say...
They are not necessarily ordinary people.
The sea, the ocean, EOD, there must be a conspiracy here.
There is no free lunch in this world. Free things are the most expensive, so this organization called EOD seems to have other purposes.
They have begun to infiltrate Munich one after another, proving that they have expectations for the city of Munich.
The reason why they repeatedly tried to contact the Einstar family was...
Black gold land? I don't think so. The sea bass they delivered today alone is worth a lot of money.
They probably don't lack money, so their goal is connections.
They want to reach a person or a group through Mr. Eugene and Mr. Herman!"
As Veronica guessed, the truth slowly surfaced.
The two mysterious men were actually from Innsmouth, where the EOD headquarters were located.
The two now use hoods and robes to hide the fact that they are Innsmouth Syndrome patients.
If they showed their true colors and walked on the streets of Munich, they would definitely cause panic.
But their identities are not actually Keleya's bodyguards, they are people who are here to supervise Keleya in her infiltration work.
The full name of EOD is Every One Deserves, but in fact the real full name of EOD is Eyes of Dagon.
Ever since the last time the Cthulhu sect provoked many forces at the same time, EOD, an organization under the guise of a charity, has been active in the world.
These evil lunatics love to give hope to the poor and then convert them into fanatics of Dagon and Cthulhu.
They are good at playing with people's hearts and manipulating human nature, and the socially recognized identity of a non-profit charity organization has brought many benefits to their spread.
If Jobtrand were here, he would have been able to deduce that the real purpose of EOD was to contact Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor who supported them, through the Einstadt family.
This group of lunatics are planning an unprecedented conspiracy, and if nothing unexpected happens, they have already infiltrated many networks.
Mrs. Pollitt's poor son was one of the victims.
Veronica was not well versed in these conspiracy theories, but the woman's directness told her that this Coreya was not a simple person.
——
"Ms. Pollitt, I think it's time you came and confessed to me."
Veronica found Ms. Pollitt after the three EOD guys left.
Ms. Pollitt was still in shock and felt annoyed, but she also felt a little relieved.
Mrs. Pollitt has been worried ever since she learned that her son was arrested for gambling.
“Ms. Veronica, I’m so sorry that my son fell into their hands because of his gambling.
For the sake of my children, I must obey their orders."
Ms. Pollitt said.
"Wait a minute, what did they order you to do?"
The alarm bell in Veronica's heart rang again, and she finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
"That woman used my son's life to force me to let you see her. I had no choice."
