Mudun brings benefits to the United Kingdom and the United States

"Enough, Esther." Steve's voice calmly stopped, "You should realize that what you said is too much, especially to your mother."

He pushed the door and walked in, his blue eyes stared straight at Esther on the bed, his eyes were penetrating and sharp, as if all his little thoughts were hidden in front of him.

"Steve?" Fujiya was startled, and turned around in surprise.She looked at the little girl on the bed again.Esther looked as if he had just been brought back to his senses, the shock on his face flashed, and he realized what he had said in a daze, and the girl's eyes turned red.

She lay weakly on the bed and raised her eyelids, feeling unbelievable that she received such harsh words while she was sick, and couldn't help but choked up and acted coquettishly: "Dad...!" Her cheeks were flushed with fever, The wet eyes are like a layer of mist covering the gemstones, which does not damage its clear beauty, but makes it more charming.Esther frowned with such an expression, and explained in a helpless way: "I didn't mean it, and I wasn't talking about my mother."

She lowered her head and lowered her voice: "I just... I just recalled some bad things, which made me blame myself. Mom—I'm sorry." Esther turned her head and looked at the vine with guilt and sincerity. Ya seriously apologized.

——Esther has finished speaking, what else can Fujiya say.

She and Steve exchanged a deep look, and that was the end of the matter.

"Esther, take a good rest." Fujiya acted as if she had accepted Esther's apology and restored her previous intimacy.She kissed the little girl's forehead and helped to tuck the corner of the quilt before leaving Esther's bedroom with Steve.reading books

After all, Esther is only a little girl of a few years old, and anyone who looks at her ignorant speech will think that it may not be intentional, and it will be too serious for her to pursue it and not let go.However, after Fujiya returned to the living room with a bad face, she crossed her arms with a heavy heart, and sighed: "——I can't go on like this."

This time, even if Fujiya thought it was an illusion again, she believed in Steve's judgment even more.I really can't go on like this anymore, Fujiya has no patience to test slowly.Is it because... they will have to experience sooner or later, so Esther suddenly revealed some abnormalities today?nature?

What the hell is this kid hiding?

"Maybe we should think of a way." Steve said thoughtfully, still with a stern face.He realized that his defense of Fujiya made Esther shrink back, did not say more words, and apologized wisely.But...how did the situation just now make him bear to continue listening?

He was keenly aware that Este's vicious words were intentional.

"Could you pick another time for us to get along alone?" Fujiya blinked, and thought of a way tacitly, she and the blond man looked at each other, "I thought Este was a very caring child before, and wanted to be with I drew closer. Now I suspect that Esther's animosity towards me, or the 'mother' character, from the beginning never subsided, she just hid it well."

"Actually, she wants to know more about my past and my weaknesses." Fujiya's voice cooled down, "Then..."

It will be like just now.

If what she said was true, what a psychological shadow Esther's words would bring to her.That's not something a mere apology can erase.

"So I should take the initiative to create weaknesses for her." Fujiya concluded, "At least I can test out more things. In the process, Steve, you can't show up again."

"I'm more worried about you being bullied." Steve sighed helplessly and looked at her, his brows and eyes softened.

When going on adventures before, Fujiya's coping was a bit awkward, even if she was not good at it, she gradually became mature from green, and it was not too worrying.Who knew that when she came to this world and met a child with Esther's personality, Fujiya was so confused.

"Can I be bullied?" Fujiga Le, imitating Tony's most irritating and provocative expression, raised her chin and motioned Steve to watch her arms crossed - this is Steve's most frequent gesture. She has unconsciously learned the habitual movements during her long time together.

"I can make eight Estes cry with one punch. It's more terrifying when I don't move my fist." Fujiya half-seriously joked.She knew what Steve meant, and she was really lacking in people's hearts.But powerful force and curse protection endowed her with confidence.

But as long as Esther can't hurt her, other things are not painful to her, she is just interested in what Esther wants to do.Fame in this world?She doesn't care that much, status?On the surface, she didn't have a job either.Speaking of the worst outcome... If they can't complete the mission of this world in the end, they can still leave.

"Let's do it." Steve made up his mind.

……

But at night, something unexpected happened - Jarvis suddenly sent a message.

Because the time in this world is relatively early and the Internet is not well developed, in most remote facilities, more paper records are used instead of data entry on the Internet.This brought some difficulties to Jarvis's investigation, but it still found a stack of records through keyword searches.

These were sent directly to Fujiya's cell phone.

"Steve... I think you have to look at this." After reading two lines, Fujiya's face became serious. She moved to the side of the sofa, and Steve, who was cooking in the kitchen, untied his apron and walked away. Come over, sit down, meet your girlfriend head to head and start looking at your phone.

What Jarvis sent was a record of orphanage accidents in various countries in recent years, as well as "ribbons tied around the wrists and necks", "princess dresses", "precocious and intelligent", "Esther", "black hair", The possibility report of "adopted little girl" after being searched by keywords.

"The fire in Sullivan's house... This is the family where Esther stayed last time." Steve's expression became serious.Jarvis's reverse tracing can only be traced back to several possible boarding records of Esther. At the earliest, she lived in an orphanage in Russia, and her name is no longer available for investigation.

"She really has a problem." Fujiya murmured in a daze. Now even if they can't find out where Esther came from in the first place, the current reports are enough for her to guess.But in all the schools Esther has been to, there are always children who are accidentally injured for no reason.The last time her host family was caught up in a fire, no one in the family escaped.

Jarvis circled several similar "host family fire" incidents in the information, and there was a shadow of a little girl in those accidents.

"These can't be taken as evidence, but suspicion is enough." Steve was silent for a moment, "Is it a nine-year-old child who repeatedly set fire to destroy her dissatisfied host family... or is there an evil spirit around her? ?” The latter is not impossible.

"Itachi didn't notice something was wrong before, otherwise Zhenmei would appear. My Sadako didn't respond either." Fujiya recalled, shaking her head and thinking it was unlikely, but she felt that the first guess was outrageous and unbelievable. "Esther...is he actually such a bad child?"

If a child of a few years old is unhappy, he will kill and hurt his classmates. Such behaviors are still practiced.Then how twisted and evil her character should be.Can it really be broken back? ?Even if she didn't see a psychiatrist, she deceived her.

"Shall we submit these to the police tomorrow?" Fujiya suggested without much hope.

Even if they confronted Este with this information, the little girl would definitely be able to deny it completely.Handing it over to the police is the same, the investigation is too slow, and it may not necessarily produce results.Fujiya thought for a while, returned to her previous thoughts, asked herself and answered, "Forget it—we still have to go fishing, and it will be fine when Esther can't bear it anymore and catch her."

"We can give these to Sister Abigail." Steve nodded, adding thoughts, "She is also looking into this. It is not convenient for Jarvis to conduct investigations in reality. After we give the information to the nun, she can save a lot time."

"Maybe the mission of this world is not to let us take Esther out of the orphanage for adoption, but to expose the crimes she committed in the past." Fujiya said casually on a whim.

She put away her phone and was about to continue thinking about the problem. Steve stood up and suddenly came back to his senses: "Where's Bucky? He hasn't come back yet, we have to tell him."

"Is it upstairs all the time?" Fujiya was not sure, she manipulated the plants left in front of the balconies of the bedrooms on the second floor to look at them, a little surprised, "Bucky is playing with Esther."

Bucky has always been the king of kids, his sunny smile and strong approach always made him popular, and he still is now.Esther was like his daughter, sitting affectionately in the arms of the brown-haired young man, lying on his knees, and the two of them were reading the storybook together intently.

Fujiya had a weird expression on her face.

She didn't think it was unusual before, and she had never seen Esther so close to Bucky.Now that she knows more things, why does she always have the feeling of déjà vu... Esther hit a wall on them, so she changed her target?
