Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

She is wearing a Victorian-style white long dress, and she is also wearing a lady's hat. The black tail feathers on the hat are just the latest fashion. Even the most easily dirty gloves are kept white. It can be seen that the owner its meticulous care.

Jane's good friend Saoirse is such a person, she will ensure that she has always maintained the most perfect state in front of outsiders.

It was also at this time that Jane remembered that not far from here was the newspaper office where Saoirse worked, and it was also one of the few newspaper offices in Xiaoqiu County.

"Hey, Saoirse, good afternoon. I'm sorry I haven't been to the newspaper to find you these days. I've been too busy recently."

"I'm fine, but are you okay?"

Saoirse is a full head shorter than Jane, and even if she is a stepping foot, she can't look at Jane's face. She has to grab Jane's face and bury her head down to complete the gaze.

"You seem to be preoccupied. I rarely see you like this. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"It's not just me, you obviously have something on your mind!"

When two pairs of eyes look at each other, while you can see into each other's heart, she can also see the hidden part of you.

"I was discovered by you, I would have called you if I knew about it..."

"That's impossible, Saoirse, you are such a person, you want to care about other people more than yourself."

Saoirse smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, Jane just held her hand like this, sometimes it was more powerful than words.

"Let's go, we can also have a chat, maybe it will be better."

"Well, is it here?"

Saoirse looked up at the signboard of the coffee shop behind Jane. She had heard of this place, but she had never been in it herself.

"No, no, not here!"

Shaking her head quickly, the food here is really not delicious, not to mention expensive, but it did give her some inspiration.

"Go to my house, where we can talk in peace, and I can also give you a taste of my new ideas!"

"Well, then I'm looking forward to it."

The farther you go to the north, the fewer Tara people you can see. This place is closer to the barracks of the Victoria Garrison. Ordinary Tara people will never come here to ask for trouble.

But the place where Jane lives is not in the barracks, otherwise she would not let Saoirse go to that kind of place, and if she lives in the barracks, Jane can't make new desserts every day, which is already her main hobby.

In order to balance work and hobbies, Jane rented a house a little far away from the Victoria Barracks. The rent here is not high, and even Jane's own salary can support it.

In fact, the rent was also the main reason why she chose to live here. If it was more expensive, she would not be able to afford so many dessert ingredients.

This is an apartment with three floors, and the entire top floor is the residence of the landlord and his wife. The landlord used to be a veteran of the Victorian Army, and Jane had seen his military medals.

As for the second floor and the ground floor, they are divided into four rooms with different tenants.

The appearance of this building is a bit strange, many windows are blocked with bricks, most people would think that the windows of this family must be easily smashed, so they simply sealed them with bricks.

But in fact, such windows are due to a tax in Victoria in the past, and more taxes will be levied on the number of windows. It is also because of that child's play tax that many people have sealed their windows in order to pay less tax. stand up.

But the tax was abolished many years ago after it was accused of being a tax on "sun and air".

Now there is only one reason why the family still seals the windows, that is, they don’t want to spend extra money to remove these bricks. Anyway, if the tenant needs it, the tenant will take the initiative to remove it.

For example, Jane removed the bricks that blocked the windows. She often made desserts at home. It would be miserable if there was no ventilation. The sweet air would also discolor the furniture and walls in the room.

But she didn't waste the money. Anyway, Rhodes Island's operators helped, right?

It was not the first time for Saoirse to come to Jane's house. She sat on the small sofa very consciously, thinking about the communication with her head down.

This is indeed a confession between friends, but they are also seeking help, and she can no longer handle this matter by herself.

"Wait a little longer, I'll bring the tea right away. I heard from my father that he sent me some tea, but it's a pity that it hasn't arrived yet."

Looking at Jane who was busy on the stove, Saoirse seemed to have found the backbone again. You just need to ask her for many things, as she often did in the past.

It's just that this time she has to think about her words. She doesn't want to involve Jane. If she gets hurt because of this incident, she will never forgive herself.

Making snacks is actually a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, but Jane often makes these things, so she also stores some processed materials.

In this way, the time consumed was much less, and Saoirse was delivered a plate of freshly baked biscuits without waiting too long.

"Come and try this, I've used some new techniques and materials to see if it's different from before."

That's what I said, but where does Saoirse come from in the mood to taste it slowly? Even Jane herself just wants to use this method to calm herself down.

If you don't pay attention, the dessert will never respond to you. Once it is taken out of the oven, it will definitely become something strange and unknown.

It was also because of this characteristic that Jane was able to force herself to focus on the dessert, so as to jump out of the restlessness and allow herself to think about the whole thing more comprehensively.

"delicious..."

Saoirse couldn't make other more detailed evaluations. She gently put the biscuit back where she had bitten off. She would never do such a disrespectful behavior in the past.

"Jenny..."

"Saoirse..."

Just after Saoirse let go, the two also called each other's name at the same time, and after a moment of stunned, they said to each other such words as you say first.

After being modest like this, Saoirse was finally the first to speak out the question that made her a little anxious.

"Jenny, you know I have a cousin."

"Well, I know, his name is Darian, and he works as a sorter in the warehouse."

For everything about her friend, Jane can be said to be very precious, and it is her cousin who troubles her friend.

Chapter 1608 The Ghost Around You

"Damian, did he encounter any trouble?"

Jane wondered what kind of trouble it might be that troubled Saoirse so much, but the more she thought about it, the more she wondered if it might have something to do with the Victorian soldiers again.

The last time Saoirse was harassed by Victorian soldiers, it was Jane who rescued her at that time, but the soldier who harassed her was not punished, and Jane was also worried about whether he would retaliate.

"Damian he..."

Although I have made up my mind to tell my friend something, but when the words come to my lips, I am stuck and unable to speak them out.

Saoirse and Damian are indeed only cousins, but the relationship between the two families is quite good. Even Damian's job was actually selected through the operation of Saoirse's family.

The sorting worker in the warehouse, you can tell from the name that this is actually a less important and leisurely position, and it is usually assigned to some "relationship households".

In Saoirse's view, her cowardly and timid cousin is a child who needs her care, but such Damian suddenly found herself today.

When she was about to take a lunch break, he called her out of the newspaper office and said something that made her unbelievable.

Her cousin was also serving them. No, Saoirse should have said "we" to her cousin.

Since it is true, it means Saoirse is also a member of those who serve in the ghost army.

For Saoirse who works in the newspaper office, her task is to mix some private goods in the newspaper, modify the typesetting or use words mixed with codes to convey some news for the ghost army.

She used to believe it was the right thing to do because everyone around her told her so.

Unlike the group of workers who are not valued very much by the ghost army, the ghost army obviously pays more attention to the Tara people who have a certain social status or are in some key jobs.

Saoirse, her editor-in-chief, and her circle live up to the standards that Ghost Force expects.

When everyone around her told her that what she did would make everyone safer, she believed it and worked hard.

Although she herself may not know why what she did will make Xiaoqiu county safer.

But since everyone around her said that, there must be a reason, she was blindly following the words of the people around her.

Until Damian came up, he told Saoirse the true face of the ghost army and what they were trying to do.

At that moment, Saoirse was afraid. If everything was really the same as what Damian said, then what she did not only failed to make everyone safer, but brought herself and her family closer to the abyss.

She couldn't believe that one day she would be surrounded by her parents and family and Cousin Damian, Cousin Ofina and Aunt Kleina.

If these people die for these reasons, can they bear it?

In the words of others and the words of her own relatives, Saoirse believed her relatives without hesitation.

She first persuaded her cousin to stay away from them, and then considered what she should do.

If they'd make Hills unsafe, wouldn't it make Hills safer if I resisted them?

Saoirse is not such a smart person, all she can think of is the same way as ordinary diodes.

But Janie was the smartest person she knew, and as much a true friend to her as her own family was.

Besides, with Jenny's identity, if she wants to fight against them, only Jenny's superiors can do it.

'If it's her, then it must be able to help myself. '

Saoirse didn't know how many times she had convinced herself like this, and she decided to tell her friend the whole story.

"Actually, I was also thinking about one thing today."

Saoirse, who had made up her mind, suddenly saw her friend with her head bowed and a downcast expression. Before she said everything, her friend first expressed her doubts.

"I only knew that what my colleagues did would hurt people here, but I never thought they would hurt that much.

Saoirse, do you hate me? "

"Why do you ask that?"

Just seeing Jane's expression, Saoirse felt a twitch in her heart. She hadn't seen Jane's fragile expression for a long, long time.

"Because, I am also a soldier of Victoria, and I am also one of them..."

"No!" Saoirse suddenly grabbed Jane's right hand close to her, "You are different from them, most of them are a bunch of bastards, but you...you are a good person."

"I'm very happy Saoirse said that about me, but you really hate my colleagues."

Saoirse nodded. She couldn't hide her dislike for most of the other Victorian soldiers. She didn't mention her personal experience of being harassed. It was just what she heard that made her feel bad for Victorian soldiers.

"If this continues, will unrest break out?"

"probably not..."

Saoirse suddenly fell silent. She thought of what her cousin had said to her. The organization she believed to be the peacekeeper seemed to be the culprit of the turmoil, but Jane suddenly brought up this matter. Isn't it too much? It was a bit of a coincidence.

"Jenny, do you know something?"

Asking tentatively, she was a little concerned about her friend's attitude.

"Someone told me that she found signs of turmoil, all because of the discrimination against you by Victorians. I want to say that this is impossible but I can't deceive myself. Their actions are indeed too much."

"What if I say I feel like it might be?"
