A few days later, when Hugo looked at the news, he said in surprise: "The Federation announced a complete truce, and Minister of Defense Antonio announced that he had reached an agreement with the Zerg. They will not continue to send armed forces to the border for at least 15 years."

Igor shook his head and said nothing.

Meanwhile, Hugo's mobile terminal has been buzzing.

Azathoth was very annoyed: "Whose news?"

"Kunna's." Hugo said, "Didn't we throw her at the spaceship transfer station? Now she is persistently contacting me every day, asking if we want to meet the bugs stationed in the capital, maybe the church or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. An embassy or something official."

"I don't." Azathoth firmly refused.

Hugo shrugged: "That's fine, I'll block her news directly."

"Speaking of it," it suddenly remembered, "I checked the license plate number of the suspension car that brought Erica back that day, and the owner is Shirley Joyce."

Igor and Azathoth turned their heads to look at him at the same time.

Hugo, as a bionic person who is connected to the wireless network every day and basically lives on the star network, even Azathos often doesn't know what it is busy with.

Although according to Hugo himself, most of the time it spends browsing the news, flipping through forums (a robot who does not want to be named: water posts are very interesting), playing small games to pass the time (one knife 999 level does not even need to tamper with the data to open The kind that hangs), hack into the backstage of some institutions to see if there is any new news, and just live a slow-paced life of health preservation (for an AI).

But occasionally it still works.

Azathoth: "Is this also what you got from one hundred trumpets in the gossip forum?"

Igor looked sideways, he had never heard of this.

Netizens in the federation are having a hard time. When they are cursing those strange small water stickers like robots, the opposite may really be robots.

"Nonsense." Hugo said sternly, "Eating melons can be called water. But I did find an interesting anonymous forum recently. The membership screening mechanism is very strict. Even if I cracked their invitation code system A lot of time."

Azathoth lost interest.

Hugo does not give up, it is rare to get interesting toys, just like a child who spends a lot of time finally cracking a puzzle, he must let his parents know every detail.The bionic man came over and lay down on the back of the sofa, showing it to Azathos and Igor who were sitting beside him: "That's it, the name is so weird...it's called 'Port Yarpley Aquaculture Base Forum', I heard it was changed after the Port Yardley cultist incident."

"There are many boards here. I haven't figured out the rules of the board, so I dare not post and reply casually. But there is a board that is probably dedicated to chatting. I think some of them are talking about Viscount Joyce."

Igor raised his head and saw that the title of the post on the top line of the page Hugo clicked on was:

Today is a day off, I have nothing to do, let's talk about the latest Longman Griffin?

[Original poster: Anyway, I’ll post again. I heard that Shirley Joyce almost got into a fight with Patriarch Griffin two days ago. It’s true.

Floor 1: Did you just come back to the capital? Of course it’s true =w= Secretary Langman told me personally that the scene was so intense that the woman Shirley almost died of anger.

Floor 2: ...You mean I know that Viscount Joyce?She doesn't look like someone who would get angry, I can't imagine.

Host: On the 2nd floor, you underestimated the power of Patriarch Griffin to pull hatred.And what I asked was Langman, Langman, don't mislead Shirley.What the hell is going on with Langman, she is such a beauty, she is crazy if she says anything.

Floor 4: Eat melon, I don’t know, but I heard that our ordinary teachers and adults were present on the day he entered the hospital.

Floor 5: 'Mr. Ordinary'?

Floor 6: Who are you talking about? Mengxin is very confused.

7th floor: Reply to 6th floor: Forum black talk science guide xxx.Before this building is deleted, I will tell you that Mr. Ordinary refers to Bishop Gilbert of the Capital Diocese. His catchphrase is quite distinctive hhh

Floor 8: Mr. Pingwuqi was injured by his own dagger, and he is still nourishing his kidneys.

Floor 9: ls is talking nonsense, what he hurt is not the kidney at all.

Floor 10: Bet on a red thread medal. This matter has something to do with the aquatic life in Port Yarplay.

Floor 11: ...Red Thread Medal!This kind of thing can be gambled!It's a boss!

Floor 12: Don't talk about gods and ghosts, the hospital said he was under too much pressure.And Langman was crazy before, it's just that you don't get along with him much.By the way, he's immune to Shirley's powers, which is awesome.Although a madman, but a beauty, and a beauty immune to mental attacks, I declared on an anonymous forum that I like Longman Griffin.

Floor 13: What was said on the 10th and 11th floors, the speed of light was deleted.

Floor 14: Reply to Floor 12: Is the world crazy or am I crazy? Someone likes Longman. I suffocate after staying with him for more than 3 minutes.

Floor 15: I actually think Patriarch Griffin is quite polite to the clergy...relatively speaking.

Floor 16: Upstairs, I think Mr. Unremarkable has aged ten years since he was transferred to the capital.

17th floor: Reply to 16th floor: That's because he lost too much blood and his kidney was stabbed.

Floor 18: It is said that Bishop Gilbert was not stabbed in the kidney!It's just a small problem with his dagger!

……

Floor 23: Reply to Floor 12: What is Viscount Joyce's mental attack ability?How do I hear that is her personality charm?

24th Floor: Reply to 23rd Floor: Where there is Shirley, there is war. Shirley Fan and Shirley Black still have ten seconds to reach the battlefield.

Host: Damn, you guys are starting to discuss Shirley again, is Viscount Joyce such a hot topic?Forget it, I'm not interested in this and run away first, you guys chat slowly. 】

After that, there were some debates about whether Shirley was a supernatural power or a charismatic personality.

Igor blinked his eyes slowly: "...Could this be the church's internal forum?"

"That's right!" Hugo said excitedly, "I have the same feeling! By the way, what is the Red Thread Medal?"

"I don't know." Igor shook his head. "It's the first time I've heard of it. It might be their undisclosed reward system."

"But Shirley would actually quarrel with Longman Griffin. Their relationship seemed to be pretty good in public before."

**

"...I thought Aunt Shirley had a good relationship with Patriarch Griffin."

Annie shook her pen, holding her red fluffy head, and said annoyedly, "They almost got into a fight. This is the first time I've seen Aunt Shirley so angry."

Erika sat beside her, reassuring, "Maybe it's just that this conversation wasn't going my way."

"Actually, I don't think she likes Patriarch Griffin very much." Anne's expression was very strange, "I mean, I saw their communication at a banquet before... Auntie seemed to have a very good attitude, so good that there were many One thinks she might have a crush on Longman Griffin."

"After all, you have also seen that Aunt Shirley is cold to everyone, but she even smiled when she chatted with Langman back then."

"But they're not very close in age, are they?"

"It's only ten years away, and Mr. Langman doesn't look old, but he already has several children, so I was worried that if my aunt got married, there would be a lot of family conflicts." Annie sighed, "Now it seems What I thought back then was outrageous.”

Erica asked, "Do you often stay with Viscount Joyce?"

"That's not true." Annie explained, "After all, she and my mother are not biological sisters, but occasionally when my parents are busy with work, they will ask her to take care of me. But speaking of it, I haven't seen Aunt Shirley for more than a year We met, I went to her house a few days ago, and I felt that the furnishings had changed a lot, and it looked like a strange house."

She looked a little sad, "Erica, I don't know if you have ever felt like this... Even though you have gone to a familiar place and met someone close, you feel that everything is different from before. What is wrong with me? It happened where I couldn’t see it, but I couldn’t do anything about it.”

During art class in the afternoon, Erica saw Annie drawing a watercolor painting with colored pencils.

She was a novice with little talent in this area, although she could tell she was trying to draw the pattern in her head - the results were quite indescribable.

Erica was lost in thought as she stared at the stick figure she could barely discern as a child on the drawing paper.

Annie found that Erica was looking at her, and stretched out her hand to cover the drawing paper reflexively, and then she was a little embarrassed: "The drawing is not good...don't look at it!"

"It's kind of cute." One of Erica's talents is that she can say everything with sincerity, and she really thinks this painting is full of childishness... despite the age of the painter.

"Who are you drawing?"

Annie: "I don't know."

She was soothed by Erica's praise (?), her expression became natural, and she moved away from the drawing paper.

"It's a portrait from Aunt Shirley's house. She hung it in the living room before, but now she took it off for some reason. But I quite like this painting. Today I suddenly thought of it."

Erica took a serious look sideways and found that it should be—if Anne's color scheme was realistic enough—it was a human with shoulder-length gray short hair and a pair of bright red eyes.Because the lines are too messy, it is hard to see the specific age and gender.

But this color scheme looks familiar, right?

She couldn't help thinking while chatting with Annie.

Could it have something to do with Mr. Igor?

...I heard that Mr. Igor once had a younger sister who disappeared for many years for unknown reasons?

"Annie." Erica hesitated, but still asked, "How much do you know about that painting?"
