Chapter 26
Hi
Waking up with a sore back, Donald opened his eyes and saw a wall wrapped in wallpaper with rose flowers as a pattern. This is not his home, and he is sleeping on the floor now , the sofa is next to it, and there is a folded blanket on it, which should be where he should be.
Sit on the sofa and try to fit your back against the back of the sofa to relieve the sour feeling all over your body. Memories flood in like a tide at the next moment.
The memory of last night in the storage area and the memory of the dream.
Yes, the dream-making water did not really make Donald lose his memory of last night. The bottle of dream-making water that Yake took out was only for the ordinary person. Donald was obviously not in the ranks of the ordinary person. Especially under the premise that his spirit strength is stronger than ordinary people.
It’s not that there is no dream water for heretics, but it’s just like a rat monster transformed into a potion. It’s very expensive. A bottle costs 3 gold pounds at least. , the dream water of 3 gold pounds cannot be mass-produced.
Check the items on the body, the wooden box and notes have been taken away, the tracing powder is still in the pocket, but it seems to have changed positions, and the remaining coins…the money bag is still there .
Everything fell on the table, a total of 3 gold pounds, 15 shillings, and 10 pence, and counting what he owns now, about 5 gold pounds, unconsciously, Donald became a small people with savings.
Just a little.
bang bang
There was a sound from the stairs. Sherlock, who was dressed neatly, probably heard the sound from the living room and came down slowly from the second floor.
“Don’t think about it, last night you met the special department and saw the ability of the rat catcher. In order to ensure your safety, they erased your memory, you just took a nap , Mr. Abel’s entrustment has been completed, and the mousetrap you found should be rewarded, 2 gold pounds, your share, as for the details, don’t ask, I won’t tell you. “
Give answers to all questions in one go, the provincial Donald ask all sorts of questions.
“Why hasn’t your memory been erased?”
Opening his mouth, Donald was still thinking about how to fool the past, but now he has saved it.
“They didn’t find me. In fact, I hid when I found out that there were government forces intervening. I waited until the sound of the fighting outside ended. I saw you collapsed in front of a warehouse where the rat catcher was stealing. Jewelry from here.”
“So that’s the case, then I… go buy a breakfast and come back to work.”
I want to say go home, look up On the wall clock above the fireplace, at seven in the morning, there is still an hour left to work.
“Don’t forget to bring me one, treat me to eat as a reward for taking you to the underground black market tonight.”
Sherlock is sitting on the single-seater sofa Posing, he promised Donald yesterday that if the commission was successfully completed, with the money, the two would go to the underground black market for a walk.
Hearing this news, Donald’s spirit was lifted. He was still looking forward to the underground black market. First, he went to the kitchen on the first floor to wash his face and simply rinse his mouth.
The hot breakfast appeared on the table in the living room at 7:30. Sherlock was entering the state at this time, and Donald did not disturb him, but sat aside to continue his work.
Opening the file bag, the files inside have been replaced. This time is a new combination of words. Donald has no problem with it. His job is to translate anyway.
Just as the translation progressed, he noticed that the things on it didn’t seem to be disrupted, and all the word combinations had their own meaning.
The air-dried right eye of the eagle, the gray root grass, the muddy larvae…the names linger in my mind, these things are obviously not simple sentences, Donald can feel that these should be All are ingredients in a recipe.
Sherlock suddenly handed this thing to him for translation, most likely because he was going to the underground black market at night, and just selected the part of the material that needed to be translated.
It’s a pity that these are just names, and there is no required quantity followed, otherwise Donald would really want to try to imitate it.
“Uh It’s really comfortable… Today’s progress is good. Six items have been translated.”
Stretching his body, he walked towards Donald and glanced at him. There are some surprises in the content marked in common language on the document.
“Just like what I said last time, these are all coherent words, which are easy to associate. I found that they seem to be the names of materials, some kind of special medicine or formula?”
” p>
Instead of causing disgust through the roundabout investigation, it is better to ask straightforwardly. After the first commission, there should be a preliminary foundation of trust between the two.
“I’m also not quite clear, it should be the recipe, as for what it does…I can’t tell you, but I think you’ve guessed it, Donald, you’re very smart, this I have to admit, all they have erased are your memories of last night, at least the ones you had before that, like the fact that the Ratcatcher wasn’t an ordinary person.”
Contact the Outcast and It’s not so uncommon. I don’t know how many heretics are hidden in the city of Preston, and it is not uncommon for someone to discover some special phenomena. Sherlock is an eyewitness and an ordinary person. There is not much consideration, and it is completely regarded as a talk to pass the time in leisure time.
“According to speculation, the rat catcher can control the mouse, can he really?”
As a person with amnesia pretending to be amnesia, Donald’s acting can only be said from the heart , resembles nature itself.
“Of course, otherwise how would I steal jewelry.”
If Yake knew that Sherlock was so casually revealing information about the Ratcatcher, he would surely regret not letting him drink it yesterday. a bottle.
“Then did you find a way to control the mouse when you found the jewels? Since the rat catcher is about to escape, the important things are all around.”
Something you have done yourself, Donald Of course, he knew that this was just a bait. He wanted Sherlock to continue this topic. Since he couldn’t go straight to it, he would rub it slowly.
Donald, as a debater in his previous life, was good at thinking and reacting to details. In layman’s terms, he was inferring others from one case, as well as the ability to organize language in a short period of time. Some experienced police officers also have this ability. When they interrogate criminals, they often start with some trivial matters.
When people talk about some trivial matters, their defenses will be involuntarily relaxed, and then the topic will be quietly changed at a certain node, and most criminals will be brought involuntarily. Some key information blurted out, and it was too late.
“There should be some, but it is estimated that they were taken away by government forces.”
Shylock was very regretful when he spoke about this. It worked.
“If we get that thing, can we also control mice? This ability looks a bit low-level, and I think it’s a bit low-level, but it’s a special ability, don’t you think?”
The deep meaning of this question is actually asking about the versatility of ability, how one person acquires ability, whether other people can learn from it, or even imitate it completely.
“Not good said, it may work, it may not work.”
“It depends on luck?”
This is asking about the conditions of ability acquisition.
“Look at people, the rat catcher can do it, maybe we can’t, everyone is unique and unmatched…Aren’t you kidding me?”
Halfway through, Sherlock took a sip of milk and asked suspiciously.
“Of course not, I’m just curious, I’m not going to the underground black market tonight, I just want to ask if the ordinary person can become… an alien?”
“Theoretically, anyone can become a heretic, but without the help of the church or the government, one has to pay a huge price and take huge risks. If you are not careful, your life will not be guaranteed. Why, you have Interested?”
Looking at Donald with great interest, Sherlock was unavoidably curious about this temporarily recruited assistant, whose thoughts were somewhat different from most ordinary persons. .
“This is an identity that is not recognized by the government and the church. Once discovered, you will face regular inquiries and investigations, and sometimes face surveillance in your life, and even the slightest outrageous behavior will Getting arrested is something that most people can’t avoid.”
The reason why the heretics are called heretics is that under the government and the church’s tireless propaganda, they were labeled as illegal, unlawful and illegal. The label of abiding by the law, this is the current environment.
Whether you are active or passive, you become a heretic, which means that your identity will change, and some of the powers that normal people can have will be forcibly deprived.
Of course, resistance is allowed, this is the power of the heretics, but they will soon find themselves facing a group of well-trained, capable, and experienced enemies.
The state machine plus upper sect propaganda, you can say that this stabilizes the social situation, but this is obviously for the ordinary person, and for most of the heretics, it means autocracy!
Whether you like it or not, this is the price of power!
“If I can, I want to live comfortably.”
This sentence came out of Donald’s mouth. What he wanted to express was that he was a visitor from another world. Now the cult wants to kill itself, there is a woman with an unknown purpose at home, and there is a demon glare like a tiger watching his prey in her body.
Power is the only way for Donald to survive, and he has no other way to go.
“Live comfortably…is this what you think, Interesting.”
In Sherlock’s understanding, this sentence should mean Donald wants to use strength to get a good living environment.
Is this idea inferior?
It sounds like the ideological awareness is indeed not high enough.
But this is actually an idea that everyone has, everything that people do in life, eat, sleep…
Even if you are living a difficult and hard life now, Isn’t it just to make your future self live a comfortable life?
Donald’s requirements are actually very low.
Donald’s path to fulfilling his demands was difficult.
