Mysterious Tribulation

night.

Inside a cafe.

Liliat sat in the seat with an uneasy face.

She did not disguise, but used her original appearance. After all, everyone in the investigation bureau has become a mad dog, and it is easier to expose her if she is still carrying out secret activities. It is better to meet and talk openly and disguised as a gathering of friends.

This is also the request of the envoy of God.

Thinking that the envoy of God would meet her with her true colors, Liliat felt very happy, which meant that she had gained more trust.

But thinking that what I was told last time was not done, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The cafe is brightly lit, and through the windows, you can see the street with gas lamps lit outside.

Liliat wears glasses, looks very delicate, and her appearance is average, attracting the attention of many men.

She endured the discomfort and waited for another ten minutes, when she suddenly saw a man in his thirties with ordinary appearance and blue eyes pushing open the door of the cafe, after a brief glance, he walked towards her place come over.

Hello, Dove...

Although Aaron didn't use a raven mask, he wore Benjamin's human skin mask, sat opposite Liliat, and lowered his voice: You can call me Mr. Yasuo!

Mr. Yasuo...

Liliat tried her best to look natural, as if she was chatting with a friend: I'm sorry, my father didn't have what you needed last time...

The thing referred to here is naturally the dream world positioning technology that Aaron wants.

Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning.

Liliat hurriedly added: But my father promises that he will pursue more channels!

‘More channels? The Duolun family has fallen, and apart from the Green Banyan Council, there is no other way to find it, right? ’

Aaron pondered in his heart, and by the way called the waiter and ordered a cup of hot cocoa.

He pondered for a while, and intuition that Liliat was telling the truth, she dared not lie to herself, and her father would not care about a secret knowledge as long as he loved his daughter.

Therefore, the Duolun family does not have the technology related to the positioning of the dream world.

And the Green Banyan Council behind them must be very skeptical of their existence, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to get it in a short period of time.

I see, keep working hard.

Aaron picked up the delicate glazed china cup and took a sip of the mellow and sweet cocoa.

And... about the last letter I sent...

Liliat vaguely mentioned the last thing about the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau.

There has been an update progress now... Then again, have you heard of the terrible things that happened in the witch's house?

Aaron asked quietly.

This is known to the whole of Green Forest City. There is a lot of discussion in the newspapers, and even gossip about the appearance of a large number of insects is flying all over the sky. Discussions in public will not attract much attention.

I've heard... and I have also done some investigations, and found that in the slums of Green Forest City, similar things seem to happen a lot, and there is an intensifying trend.

Liliat looked solemn: Could it be that something bad is going to happen?

She really couldn't figure it out, after that Roberts finished his promotion, why didn't he dare to run, but stayed in the Green Forest area to do things!

I'm afraid so...

Aaron sighed and looked out the window.

At the end of September, even at night, there are still some people under the gas street lights.

Most of them are street girls and some itinerant vendors.

Aaron noticed a vendor pushing a small cart. He was in his fifties, gray-haired and unremarkable, but the merchandise he sold was interesting—it was some handicrafts such as statues and crowns made from the branches of banyan trees.

It's almost the Green Banyan Festival...

Liliat looked at this scene, but she was very familiar with it: In previous winters, the Green Forest would hold a grand celebration to worship the [Grandmother of the Banyan Tree]. The customs left over, it has been integrated into the blood of all the citizens of Green Forest...

Later, with the spread of the Holy Spirit Cult, the old grandmother was distorted as a green angel, but this custom had to be retained. Today, the last day of September in the city of Green Forest is the birthday of the banyan. Even if people do not participate in the celebration, they often I will buy a few green banyan products and keep them at home...

This folk custom has been studied by many scholars, and in the mysterious world, it is widely believed that it has something to do with the Earl of Green Forest...

...

So it's like this... Aaron pressed a note under the glazed porcelain cup and stood up: Let's go out for a walk!

Liliat somehow felt that this Mr. Yasuo seemed a little sad, which made her eyes sour, and felt very strange in her heart.

Still, she put on her coat and drapey hat and followed behind Aaron.

At the end of September in Green Forest City, the weather has become extremely cold.

But the bankrupt and the poor had to pawn their coats to keep out the cold, shivered in the cold wind, and had to keep stomping their feet to keep their body warm.

Sir, buy an item blessed by the green banyan tree, it will bless you.

Walking on the street, you can see small vendors selling green banyan products from time to time.

What's the price for this...?

Aaron stopped in front of an old woman with half-white hair in a single coat, looked at the simple items in her basket, picked out a forehead guard woven from green banyan branches at random, and asked casually.

Five, no, only threepence!

The old lady looked at Aaron with expectant eyes.

Aaron was silent for a while, took out five copper coins, handed them to her, and played with the forehead guard in his hand in the sound of gratitude from the other party.

Thank you, kind sir.

The old lady thanked her again and again and seemed very polite, which made Liliat ask curiously: This lady, you look very educated, why did you fall into... sorry...

There's nothing to say about it, my husband's investment business collapsed, and my family went bankrupt... The old lady sighed: Fortunately, after selling the original house, we paid off the arrears, and now we live in a crowded place. A little bit, but when Cowles Jr. graduates and gets a good job, everything will be fine.”

Everything will be fine, may the green banyan bless you!

Liliat made a gesture, which Aaron recognized as an ancient ritual when sacrificing the banyan tree.

Grandma bless you. The old lady's eyes lit up and answered the same way.

Liliat was about to follow Aaron away when she heard a muffled sound behind her.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the old woman fell to the ground, fainted, her abdomen swelled rapidly, and it seemed that something was about to burst out of her body!

This is……

Liliat's pupils shrank, thinking of the terrible rumors that happened in the witch's house and the ghetto!
