Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

After finishing the journey to Burning Sun City, the sampling in the North Second District also came to an end.

In the last few days, Tilan and her companions were overlooking the scenery on the highest barrier of Burning Sun City. She was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, her legs and skirt falling in the air and swaying gently, and the wind in the sunset blew across her young cheeks.

"When it gets quiet here, the scenery is pretty good." Looking at the land in the distance dyed red by the sunset, and the purple-red clouds like fire, the group sighed.

The wind in May is very comfortable, without the cold of winter or the heat of summer. The breath that pours into the sleeves soothes the tired body, and is extremely light.

After their large-scale sampling trip, the originally noisy and chaotic North Second District gradually calmed down. Most of the big gangs were dealt with. After losing the environment where they fished in troubled waters before, the small wandering elements were gradually eliminated by the local forces. Control and have to settle down.

"Although the economic situation cannot change in a day or two, as long as public security improves, people will gradually settle down and be willing to work and fight for what they want." Tilan said her simple and simple thoughts.

"Civilization cannot be born in a chaotic environment, and it is difficult to change and progress. If change is to achieve something, then purposeless chaos and killing can achieve nothing."

"There will definitely be people who hate us and our behavior, but if you are afraid of this and cower, then all your dreams are empty talk, the world is unreasonable, and even if you do the right thing, you will be questioned and slandered. .”

"True fairness and justice will not change based on the loudness of the voice. Just because many people do not speak out does not mean that they do not exist. Those ignored voices are also voices and need to be recognized and seen." Some words she said to her companions Some of them are said to themselves, in order to make themselves more determined and not to waver easily.

Two days later, a gray aircraft landed in the wilderness outside Burning Sun City. Tilan and his team boarded it, and finally looked back at the quiet world on the stairs, and then walked into the aircraft.

After sitting firmly, blue hot air spurted out from the bottom of the aircraft, then slowly rose up, getting faster and faster, and finally entered a supersonic sailing state.

"The next step is to go to the North Ninth District, but there are not many sampling points there. It will probably be completed in less than a month." Compared with the abandoned North Second District, the North Ninth District is still under federal control, and some Sampling points are also maintained by personnel and do not require all sampling.

"Yes, the rest of the journey will probably be much smoother and simpler." Tilan replied softly, looking at the floating clouds and the earth outside the window.

"Speaking of which, Valk's hometown is in the North Ninth District. Can you tell me about the situation there?" Gu Luo leaned on the seat, twisted to find a suitable position, and still had a chocolate bar in his mouth.

"The situation in the North Ninth District..." Valk fell into memories and talked about some things in the past.

Generally speaking, the North 9th District is relatively barren, with many towns abandoned and only some places inhabited. They are relatively scattered and there are very few large cities.

"Although the North Second District is desolate and declining, it was once the capital of Jade Skirt and had some foundations and industries. However, the North Nine District has nothing but some mineral resources and has never been prosperous." Today's Valcke is no longer there. I was ignorant when I first entered school. After more than half a year of study and careful reading of information, I gradually understood the past of my hometown.

"I went to Valk's hometown years ago. It was really cold there. There were only a few hundred households in the town." Jin Senke also spoke at this moment.

"But I also encountered some interesting things." As he spoke, he grinned, feeling very happy.

"Probably a good time to bully others." Ruby said jokingly. During this period of time, everyone became familiar with him. With Jin Senke's character so happy, he must have had a good time to vent and fight.

"Ah haha, they were the first to do it, and I specially set aside time for them to call someone." Jin Senke retorted.

"As for the process, I just asked my men to airdrop a simple mecha, and then beat these guys to pieces." He said, attracting the attention of his companions.

"I'm alone. There are obviously more people on the other side than me. I'm the hero, okay? Don't look at me like that."

…

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. All in all, it's a good thing. I hope those bad guys have learned a lesson and will be more honest. Otherwise, if we go this time, we will have to teach each other a lesson."

Several hours passed, and the high-speed shuttle flew over several areas and began to slowly lower its altitude, approaching the same deserted land. Light green grass covered the field of vision, and the gray roads were like clear and sparse circuits. In all directions.

After jumping off the aircraft, the group of people walked towards a small town not far away. This time they did not drive, because they did not have to go too far this time, and they also wanted to take a closer look at the surrounding scenery.

The roaring engine started again, and soon the aircraft took off, and they slowly saw the tallest church in the town. Its colored glass windows reflected little flashes of light in the morning sunlight. The rooster weathervane on the top of the tower rotated, and the rusty Parts occasionally make noises.

"Baa baa baa~"

The corrals of the pastures on the outskirts of the town were opened, and white sheep passed through the streets in groups, heading towards the grassland in the distance. Several sheepdogs ran around the sheep, and occasionally one or two low-flying autonomous units circled by.

Driving a single-seater car that could be put on and off at any time, the fat man passed by the street and stopped.

"Valk, you're back. Are these your classmates?" He waved his hand in a familiar tone.

"It's me, Uncle Hood." Valk also walked forward, and the two started talking.

"It's rare for you to bring a classmate back to your hometown as a guest. I'll talk to Old Xi Ke later and ask him to prepare a sumptuous meal and entertain him." Old Xi Ke is the owner and chef of the only restaurant in the town.

"Excuse me, Uncle Xico." Valk couldn't refuse the hospitality, so he had no choice but to nod. Although he was tall and tall, he always gave people a relatively honest feeling.

"It's okay. I've watched you guys grow up, just like my own children, haha." After saying that, the uncle waved to Tilan and his group, and then drove the car to follow the sheep.

"Very good uncle, it seems this town is not bad." Ruby jumped forward lightly, and took out her camera to take pictures of the sheep and grass in the morning light.

"It's really good now." Valk wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head and did not mention some things in the past.

"Come with me, Pastor Boyce is probably still doing morning service right now."

Valk walked at the front of the team, leading a group of people through the streets to greet the residents, and then walked into the courtyard where the church was located.

When a group of children saw Valk coming back, they stuck their heads out of the church windows, greeted and waved to him, and seemed noisy. However, after the main door of the church opened, the voices of these children stopped immediately.

A man wearing a white priest's uniform came out. He looked to be about forty or fifty years old. Although his face was not too old, his hair on his temples was a bit white.

"You are back, my child." Seeing Valk, he walked down the stairs and opened his hands.

"I'm back, Pastor." Valk accepted his hug and patted his shoulder.

After a few seconds, the two of them let go of their arms, and Pastor Boyce looked at the group of people behind him, "You are Valk's classmates, right? You are such a good group of kids."

When he said this, his eyes with slightly dark circles filled with joy.

"That's great, Valk, you've made a new friend too."

"Oh, yes, you come in with me. You don't have to stand outside." As he said this, he thought of something and stepped aside to let Tilan and his party enter the church.

The decoration of the church is a bit simple, the floor is very clean, and some places feel white from being rubbed many times. There are several transparent glass holes on the wall in the middle, through which the light falls inside the church, making it appear quiet and peaceful. solemn.

"You guys sit down for a moment, I'll prepare something." He asked everyone to sit down, and then quickly walked to the side room.

Looking around, everyone asked about Valk's local situation. Soon after, the priest walked out pushing a dining cart with a teapot and looked at the angel pattern on it. This should be the dining cart used to distribute Holy Communion during worship.

"We don't have very good tea, so I hope everyone can be patient." He knew that Valk's classmates were either rich or expensive, and probably wouldn't like anything here, so he tried to be as humble as possible.

"It's okay, Master Priest." Ruby took the tea and helped him distribute it to everyone. She looked like a virtuous and sensible person, completely different from her usual image of a little devil.

After briefly talking to everyone, Pastor Boyce seemed a little unable to stay. He stood up to say goodbye again and walked to the room on the side of the church, where there were many young children.

"The pastor seems a little afraid of us, probably because he is afraid of not doing enough." Iyepel said softly.

"Actually, we won't feel neglected, but among ordinary people, the students in schools like Edes Academy are probably very domineering." Ruby complained while holding her tea cup.

Tilan also drank tea slowly at this moment, looking at the walls and various facilities in the church, and finally stopped at the empty main seat.

"Are there no specific angels enshrined here?" Although gods do not exist, those sages who shined in history have become the objects of belief in the new era, that is, the angels after canonization.

"There used to be offerings, but then the angel carvings were graffitied by children, and then the pastor simply removed them." Valk recalled.

"The local residents are also used to this. Originally, everyone's belief was not focused on a certain angel and had no specific image, which actually reduced the occurrence of conflicts."

After the group sat for a while, Valk stood up, asked Pastor Boyce who was working in the side room, and led the group to the other side of the yard.

The church is also an orphanage. There are more than a dozen children aged 8-15 living here. They are sitting in the room studying, and Pastor Boyce is answering some children who ask questions.

Basic teaching will be provided by remote AI and does not require a specific teacher. These children will only ask the priest when they encounter complex and life-related problems.

The black desks seem to be made of stone and are slightly cold. Although these children are studying, most of them are obviously not thinking about it. Some are sitting in a daze, some are secretly playing with toys, and some are patting them randomly. Others were looking around while looking at the projected keyboard, thinking about other things.

When Tilan and his group walked in, these children suddenly became serious, pretending to love learning, but some of the details still revealed the truth that they had not learned enough.

"You are here. I'm sorry to let you see such a simple scene." The pastor seemed a little embarrassed and pinched his hands together from time to time.

"It's nothing, it's us who made things difficult for you." Tilan shook her head and led everyone out of the classroom.

Halfway through the walk, she sighed and explained to her companions, "In fact, children are not as innocent and flawless as those in the news media. Many of them are naughty and even bad."

"Pastor Boyce must have spent a lot of energy raising these children."

"Tilan is really considerate."

Then they came to sit on the grass in front of the church, watching the slowly rising sun, and then Valk talked about the difficulties of this orphanage.

"Although Pastor Boyce is very dedicated, the children may not understand that many of my companions when I was a child were very naughty at the time. I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with that. Looking back now, I realize that the pastor has reached such a level. It’s not easy.”

"Every child has his own thoughts and different situations. Many of the children abandoned for adoption are due to congenital reasons, or are sick, congenital defects, or have abnormal personalities and mental states. Raising them Not only is it a waste of energy, but it’s also difficult to get positive feedback.”

"Before I graduated, or when I was discovered by the teachers at Edes Academy, the priest's spirit was very haggard, and he would occasionally drink to relieve anxiety and stress."

"When the teacher from Edes Academy came to see me, the pastor's mental condition improved a little. Not only did the academy provide the church with a large amount of money, but he probably also felt that after so many years of hard work, he saw good results." Val K said and shook his head.

"Although the pastor's past, or his occasional words and deeds, are not perfect, I will not blame him. There are some helpless mistakes and misunderstandings, and I will try to be considerate of his difficulties."

"I say this because I once had a friend who grew up. His ideas were different from mine. He resented the injustice and wrong intentions of the pastor."

"I don't want to say that he is wrong, because I am relatively lucky and have not been in the same situation as him, and I cannot easily judge his feelings." After finishing speaking, he sighed, precisely because he experienced various miserable situations as a child, He understood very well that in that situation, human morality had to give in to survival at any time, and he could not be too demanding.

"What happened to your friend later?" Gu Luo said.

"He is in the prison in the South District 1 now. After I go back this time, I will visit him. I hope he is still alive." Valk clenched his fist, trying to grab something, but he felt deeply that he was still alive. In the face of the times, personal power is insignificant and incompetent.

When he was a child, he thought that as long as he became a transcendent, he would be able to live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. But now he discovered that even powerful transcendents only serve various consortiums in the city, and sometimes it is difficult to say that they are free.

It is not so easy to change some things. Maybe he is not strong enough at the moment. If he can reach the position of Sequence 7 step by step, he will probably be able to make the priest and friends get along harmoniously. He can also create a atmosphere that makes everyone An environment where everyone lives in harmony.

That’s it for today, 0 0/~Good night
