In those days of Plants vs. Zombies

"Look at this, she is just a poor child."

Seeing that Dell beside him still had some doubts, Mo Chen just sighed and handed the confidential file that the law enforcer had given him.

Taking the file about Sophia from Mo Chen, Dale lowered his head and read it carefully.

Then, Dell, who was already silent, became even silenter.

When he looked up at Sophia again, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Ah, this is really... fate playing tricks on us."

Looking at Sophia's tearful face, Dale couldn't help but shook his head and sat back in his seat dejectedly.

What he hated was the evil criminal group like Fallen Heaven, not the victims like Sophia.

When it comes to major issues, Dell is very clear.

Sophia was certainly at fault, but most of the faults were not hers.

Because of her parents, Sophia grew up facing discrimination from others.

No matter how sensible and obedient she is, she cannot get even a little love from others.

Or because of those beasts who did nothing and should not be called "parents", Sophia was forced to become a caffeine addict.

Her world became dark from then on, a darkness with almost no light.

Sophia's firm belief and perseverance had long been worn out by her past experiences.

Escape from the addiction treatment hospital, live on the streets of the metropolis, compete with wild dogs or other strays for food, and endure the torture of addiction from time to time.

Even though she later successfully passed the exam, re-entered school, and successfully became a psychologist, she could not face her past calmly.

Sophia has experienced so much, and as her young heart has matured, it has also been covered with wounds that are difficult to heal.

This made it easy for members of Fallen Heaven lurking in the Federal Army to discover her identity as a caffeine addict during her service.

She was already scarred, and fate wanted to deal her another blow.

Sophia's body has reached its limit. If she doesn't inject caffeine, she will be in danger of going into shock and dying.

Sophia, who was powerless to fight back against her fate, had to go with the flow. Under the influence of the other party's kindness and coercion, she embarked on the road of crime for an extremely simple wish (to survive).

So...it's all the fault of Fallen Paradise!

This kind of heinous criminal group should not exist and must be struck hard!

······

"I've made up my mind, Mr. Master..."

Sophia's sobbing gradually stopped. She calmed herself down a little and turned to look at Mo Chen who was thinking.

Noticing Sophia's gaze, Mo Chen came back to his senses and looked into her eyes.

What surprised him was that a little light appeared again in Sophia's sunken brown eyes.

“As a pharmacist, I know my current physical condition and my caffeine addiction has reached a point where it is almost irreversible.

If possible, I don’t want to become a patient who can only lie in bed every day and rely on caffeine injections to survive. "

Sophia's words immediately shocked Mo Chen.

"Master, if you need Sophia to do anything, please let me know.

Death cannot make up for the mistakes I have made, but before I die, I still want to do something within my ability.

For example, the owner of the house might also be thinking of bringing out the fallen cadre from Heaven..."

What Sophia wanted to express was very clear.

Now she no longer wants to live.

Sophia hated herself for having to constantly inject caffeine to survive, and this moment was the best opportunity to seek relief.

But death cannot wipe out past sins.

Sophia, a caffeine addict, joined the Fallen Heaven and became a caffeine criminal.

Although it was considered an "attempted crime", in Sophia's opinion, she had already committed an irreparable crime.

Sophia must take responsibility for this, both for herself and for others.

She was very smart and guessed what Mo Chen and the Law Enforcement Special Operations Group had discussed before - that is, to use herself to lure out the cadres of Fallen Paradise.

Even though she has fallen into the abyss, Sophia still stubbornly sticks to her bottom line.

After joining Fallen Heaven, she has never participated in even one crime.

Sophia understands the dangers of excessive caffeine better than anyone else, and she doesn't want more people to "sink" into it.

Therefore, she kept finding excuses to shirk the tasks assigned to her by her superiors.

He even took this opportunity to collect some information about the Fallen Paradise, and got espresso to prolong his life from them.

As we all know, only coffee bean plant spirits with third-level plant spirit power can extract caffeine on their own.

Because she was afraid that she would not be able to control her inner desire for caffeine (that is, she would have to extract and inject it herself), Sophia did not practice her plant spiritual power for nine years, and she always maintained her plant spiritual power at the second level.

This is a very rare and uncommon situation in the modern world where everyone is pursuing the improvement of spiritual power.

Unfortunately, in the end, Sophia suppressed her inner desires, but still succumbed to her own body instincts.

But now, she chose to put her life outside of it.

Both Mo Chen and Dale could hear Sophia's firm determination from her tone.

Giving up one's life is not just talk, which made Dell on the side look at him with admiration.

It seems that my previous understanding of Sophia was a bit too one-sided.

If everything settles down, maybe I will have a chance to apologize to her.

But now, it's time to solve this difficult problem.

Dale turned his gaze to Mo Chen. He believed that his landlord would give a perfect answer as to how to deal with himself and Sophia.

“According to federal law, if a federal soldier attacks his fellow soldiers without cause, he should be immediately arrested, disarmed, and handed over to the military police for processing.

Depending on the damage caused to the attacker, the immediate superior will decide whether to hand the person over to a military court for trial and conviction.

Private First Class Dale Norenson of the 59th Federal Army attacked his comrades out of concern for the safety of the estate and did not cause any substantial harm, making it an attempted attack with a pretext.

As the owner of Manor 5905, I have decided to make the following judgment:

First, deduct Dale Norenson's salary for this month and turn it over as estate funds, and exempt him from three bonus payments.

Second, Dale Norenson must reflect on his mistakes in the confinement room for five days and nights, and can only leave the confinement room when fighting in the manor. "

Mo Chen considered for a moment before judging Dale, and under Sophia's nervous gaze, he gave her the following judgment:

“According to federal law, if a federal soldier is associated with a criminal group and engages in caffeine-related criminal activities, he should be immediately arrested, disarmed, and handed over to the law enforcement special forces for disposal.

Sophia, a private first class in the 59th Federal Army, joined the caffeine crime syndicate "Sunken Paradise" during her service, which is a serious crime.

However, considering that this is your first crime and the crime was attempted, and that you are an accomplice and voluntarily surrendered yourself, as well as other factors, the manor will suspend your punishment.

From now on, you must actively cooperate with the manor and law enforcement special operations until the culprit is successfully arrested and a new sentence will be imposed.

Dale Norenson, Sophia, do you have any objections? "

The two plant spirit warriors shook their heads at the same time, agreeing with Mo Chen's judgment.

"That's it, Sophia. Come with me, Dale. You'll have to stay here for the next five days."

After resolving this sudden negative incident, Mo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took Sophia and the espresso that was being smuggled, left the detention room, and walked quickly towards the community tree.
