"Um." After responding calmly, Leonard looked at his secretary and said with some suspicion: "Why did you go? It was just an order. Why did you go so long?" "The person on duty over there fell asleep and couldn't wake up no matter how hard I shouted, so it took me a little longer. I was startled by a wild cat on the way. I'm sorry..." After a few vague answers, "Mark" walked back to his desk with heavy steps and continued to review the unfinished documents. Leonard, who sat back at the table again, looked at the pale sky and suddenly felt a pain in his back. He couldn't help but yawned, and then waved his hands with a tired face and said: "Stop it, that's it for today, I want to rest. Tomorrow afternoon, we will also meet with the president of the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce to discuss the additional monopoly tax imposed on several large companies including Charles Department Store. You can also go and lie down in the penthouse for a while. Don't miss anything tomorrow! " "OK." After hearing Leonard's words, the secretary stood up and followed him step by step, leaving the office and walking into the slightly dimly lit corridor.
As the two people entered the corridor one after another, under the indifferent gaze of the portrait paintings on both sides, their shadows were stretched longer and longer by the lights behind them, and the footsteps of Secretary "Mark" also moved closer and closer. As he got closer, his shadow gradually covered Leonard's head, almost covering him entirely. "By the way, how is that woman in Baohua Manor?" As if he was not used to the chatty secretary's silence on the road, Leonard took the initiative and said with some discomfort: "Does she still live in the garden?" "..." After hearing Leonard's inquiry, "Mark"'s shadow paused slightly, and instead of continuing to lengthen, he hummed softly and said: "Yes, she still lives with your daughter in the small wooden house in the corner of the garden." Your daughter... "Shut up! Don't mention that monster! She's not my daughter either!" Leonard's body froze when he heard the words, he stopped and turned his head, his eyes filled with annoyance: "Damn it! I would have drowned that monster long ago! But she...Mark!!! How dare you? How dare you mention this in front of me?!!" "Sorry! Lord Marquis, I'm sorry! I made a mistake!" Shocked awake by Leonard's sudden rage, the secretary, who knew he had made a mistake, quickly slapped himself hard and pulled himself out of his incoherent, half-asleep state. He was shaking like chaff and said: "I... I just... maybe I was too sleepy just now... Lord Marquis... I... I..." "Okay, shut your mouth!" After glaring at his secretary with disgust on his face, Leonard was thinking about finding a reason to drive him away tomorrow, and said with a stern expression: "Seeing as you were busy with me until late at night and your mind is not clear, I'll let it go this time. But if I hear you mention a word again, don't blame me!" "I...I remember the Marquis, I remember!" After snorting in annoyance, Leonard, who had already opened the topic, simply continued to ask:
"I asked you to clean up the manor. Did she see it? Did she say anything when she saw it?" "She...should have seen it." After his eyes flickered for a moment, "Mark" answered: "But she didn't say anything or stop it. She just picked up the Baohua family's family crest from the garbage pile in front of the main building." "That's it...heh." Leonard sneered slightly with contempt and said: "After that incident, I actually saw her twice. The woman looked at me as if she were looking at a dead person, which made me worried for a long time. But now... haha, it seems that the cleanup bureau's restraint on her is much stronger than I imagined. She doesn't even dare to stand up and stop it. The last Baohua... that's all. " "Liquidation Bureau? What is that place?" "That's... a mysterious department under the police department." After glancing at the curious secretary behind him, Leonard was a little annoyed as to why he spoke so quickly and mentioned this dangerous organization, but after thinking about it for a moment, he still explained with a hint of fear in his eyes: "They have some unusual abilities and can do things that ordinary people can't do. They are responsible for handling some cases with special circumstances. However, the conditions for joining are extremely harsh. Most people have never even heard of it. Once you arrive, you will soon forget it. I was able to know their existence because that woman was chosen by them, so they also gave me something called a spirit to prevent me from being approached by that woman, so that I could keep this memory. " "There is such a magical organization..." After sighing with shock, the secretary said worriedly: "Sir Leonard, since the woman from Baohua Manor can join the cleanup bureau, she must also have some unusual abilities, right?" "Um." I couldn't help but look back again, and after glancing at my somewhat strange secretary, I thought that even if he knew it now, he would somehow forget this memory tomorrow. In addition, I had been holding it in for so many years, and I really wanted to find an audience. After talking about it, Leonard replied: "Although the details are not clear, I guess her ability is probably to resurrect people!" "Resurrection?" "Yes, resurrection! She might be able to desecrate the souls of the dead!" After nodding, Reynard continued to walk forward, narrating with fear: "At the beginning, I clearly... um... was the monster child you mentioned before. She was definitely dead at the beginning, but the crazy woman kept buying children's clothes. When I found out something was wrong, I thought she was crazy, but the people I sent to investigate there actually saw a little girl in the garden! I even saw it directly with a telescope. The child's eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as... the monster child at the beginning! Mark! Can you imagine how scared I was at the time? Damn it! If this opportunity was not so rare, and the orders of the Minister of Finance and the Queen were not easy to disobey, I would never get close to that damn manor!" "Well, I should be able to imagine it, and even if I can't imagine it now, I should be able to see it in a while." ? ? ?
"What the hell are you talking about?" After hearing his secretary's strange response, Leonard couldn't help but turn around suddenly, shouting angrily: "Damn it! Mark! Why are you... why are you here today?!" "I came to see you." A clear and pleasant child's voice answered with a cheerful meaning: "I want to see what the person who drowned me looks like, and..." Replacing the dream Mark, the little Ellie who appeared in front of Leonard smiled, and then asked innocently in Leonard's horrified eyes: "Where is my body? Where did you throw my body? Can you tell me?" "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
