Chapter 91 Emotional Quotient (asking for monthly ticket) Facing Lumian's question as if to confirm, Ryan nodded: "That's understandable, but if there are other anomalies that are worth investigating, we can't let them go." “Okay.” Lumian actually thought so too. He even planned not to attend Lent, lest he be tempted to take action after seeing the "performances" at the celebrations. The four of them soon arrived at Lumian's house and were led up to the second floor by Aurore. Aurore, who had changed into a pure white cotton dress that highlighted her homely feel, pointed to the open bedroom and study of Lumian and said to the three official investigators: "You can choose either room." Ryan turned his gaze to Leah, seeking his companion's advice. Liya thought for a few seconds, raised her right hand, and pointed to the study with a smile: "That easy chair looks great, just let me sleep in it, Ryan, and you and Valentine can share that room."
“Do you trust us?” Lumian said as Aurore thought to herself. He thought that the three strangers would choose to sleep on the floor in one room to avoid being targeted by people with bad intentions after they were separated. Leah smiled and answered Lumian's questioning words: "My divination results tell me that both of you can be trusted." As she spoke, she walked into the study, and to the accompaniment of tinkling sounds, she lay down on the armchair, looking comfortable and contented. Aurore thought that this kind of Leah was quite interesting and approachable, so she smiled and reminded her: "A friend once told me that you should believe in divination but not blindly believe in it. Divination is not omnipotent." "My mentor has said something similar, but we're in this situation now and we're all in the same house. What else can we do if we don't believe it?" Leah twisted her body in the reclining chair and replied with a smile. Aurore didn't mind having her exclusive seat taken away, so she pulled over a chair and sat down. ——Their study room also serves as a small living room, and they occasionally arrange afternoon tea there, so the space is not small and there are enough chairs. Ryan looked around in the corridor for a while, then returned to the door of the study and said to Aurore and Lumian: "I have some suggestions." "Please go ahead." Aurore politely put on a listening attitude. Ryan nodded slightly and said: “First, when you go to bed at night, do not close the doors of each room, so that everyone is actually in the same space. This way, no matter where something abnormal happens, we can respond in time. "Second, considering that we destroyed the altar, maybe someone will try to deal with us before Lent. Starting from tonight, everyone will take turns to be on duty. Um, from 10 pm to 8 am the next day, two hours each..." So professional... Aurora muttered almost silently. Lumian then looked at her, as if asking why she hadn't thought of it. Aurore spread her hands slightly, meaning that she didn't have much experience in team operations. She then looked at Ryan and Valentine and said in a very certain tone: "Lumian is in charge of the period from 10pm to midnight." Leah and others had no objection to this arrangement. In their opinion, this was very reasonable, because among the five people present, Lumian had the lowest sequence and the least experience, and was most likely to make mistakes when on night duty. From 10 pm to midnight, there must be others who were still awake and could cover for him.
Lumian understood that his sister's intention was not just this: After he falls asleep, he must explore the dream ruins and cannot be interrupted. After determining the first time period, Valentine took the initiative to say: "I am used to going to bed early and getting up early. I am responsible for the period from 6 to 8 in the morning." “Getting up so early is to welcome the sunrise?” Lumian laughed instinctively. Valentine looked at him with a gentle look: "Yes, I will welcome the rising of the sun and praise the shining of the light." His eyes seemed to say, "Sure enough, you, a devout believer in the 'Eternal Sun', are the only one who understands me." Hey, I'm taunting you, bro! Lumian is a little overwhelmed by Valentine. In the Church of the Eternal Sun, "brother" is a common name among fellow believers. The two most mainstream organizations within the church, the Preaching Brotherhood and the Little Brotherhood, both use this term. "I'm not used to being woken up in the middle of my sleep." Leah continued, "I'm on duty from midnight to two o'clock." Aurore nodded: "I like to get up late, so I can be in charge from 4 to o'clock. Well, don't call me for breakfast tomorrow. I will get up around noon." "The remaining time period belongs to me." Ryan took the worst time period with great satisfaction. He also went into the study and found a chair to sit down. Everyone started chatting casually. Although Aurore seldom went out, she was knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. She could easily talk about the popular trends, gossip stories, and supernatural events in big cities like Trier and Backlund, which made Leah, Ryan and others secretly admire her. "As expected of the famous writer Aurore Lee." Leah couldn't help but admire, "No wonder she can handle any subject matter." Aurore asked curiously: "Have you read my novel?" "I started reading your first novel when I was still a young girl." Liya smiled with shining eyes and replied, "By the way, please sign it for me!" The little silver bells on her veil and boots tinkled as she fumbled for papers and pens. "Is it a sealed object?" Aurore asked with a little curiosity, as she had already heard Lumian talk about the performance of Leah's four little bells. Leah took out a stack of notepads and a pen and answered casually: "Yes, it can proactively warn you, and it can also improve my divination ability. The downside is that it makes a lot of noise, and is not concealed enough. Also, it has certain requirements for the wearer's attire. It must be fashionable, must be a skirt, and must look good. Otherwise, not only will it not work, it will also mislead you, or lead you to run into something hidden and bad." "I couldn't guess for a moment whether this bell originally belonged to a man or a woman." Aurore laughed. Lumian agreed with this. If the bell came from a female, it was because she had a remnant of her love for beauty. If it came from a male, he was a typical pervert. Leah smiled faintly: "As it involves confidential files, I can't say any more." She stood up and handed Aurore the pad and pen. Aurore signed and asked: "Which genre of my novels do you prefer?" "A romance novel." Leah answered without hesitation, "The one that had a big influence on me was your first novel, Eternal Love." "This book was written too early. I was too young at that time. My writing skills were not good enough and it was very immature. Many plots were awkward and many dialogues were too sensational and not realistic enough..." Aurore said modestly, a little embarrassed. Lumian habitually helped "supplement": “But it wins in terms of sincerity and novelty.”
He had also read his sister's novel, which told the story of a couple's separation and death, mixed with elements of adventure, misunderstanding, terminal illness, etc. It was a groundbreaking work in the Intis novel world at the time. Of course, this has also attracted a lot of criticism from conservative writers and critics. The shortcomings are mainly the ones that Aurore just mentioned. They even think that this cannot be considered a literary work, but just a simple popular novel. "Yes." Leah took back the paper and pen, looked at Aurore, and asked with a smile, "Great writer, is it possible for you to become an informant for our Eighth Bureau?" Seeing that Aurore was a little surprised, she continued: "We fight against wild Beyonders mainly because they are uncontrollable and may lose control or cause disasters at any time, or use their extraordinary abilities to do all kinds of bad things to satisfy their own desires. "I have carefully observed you and your brother over the past few days in the village and have confirmed that you are Beyonders who abide by the rules. Before coming to Cordu, the intelligence we collected also showed that you have never done anything bad in public. "This meets our recruitment criteria. Once you become our informants, you no longer need to worry about being attacked by official Beyonders." Aurore's heart beat fast. She glanced at Lumian and nodded slightly. "I'll think about it and answer you when the cycle is over." Lumian beside him instantly understood what his sister meant by that look: I have no problem, but will you, a guy with a serious pollution seal, fail the test? After chatting for a while, the siblings said goodbye to Leah and the others and returned to Auror's bedroom. Aurore sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at the door, and said in a low voice: "Liya is a person with high emotional intelligence." "What do you mean?" Lumian also felt that Leah created a harmonious atmosphere in the study. Aurore smiled and said: "She took the initiative to mention my novel and asked me to sign it. Her purpose was to build a closer relationship with her. The purpose of building a closer relationship was to propose the subsequent solicitation. The subsequent solicitation was to resolve the distrust and vigilance in our hearts so that we could cooperate better in the next few days. "The whole process was not abrupt at all. It did not make me feel disgusted or defensive. This is a sign of high emotional intelligence. You should learn more from it!" Lumian thought back to the conversation and said self-deprecatingly: "If it were me, I would have been kicked out of here by now." Aurore was amused by him and said, leaning forward and backward a little: "You are very self-aware!" She then rubbed her golden hair and said: "I'm going to sleep for a while. My eyes haven't fully recovered yet. I need more rest. Wait until 10 o'clock and wake me up. I'll help you keep an eye on it. It's your first night watch, so you'd better be cautious." Lumian had no objection and agreed without hesitation, watching his sister lie down on the bed without any hesitation, pull the quilt over her and close her eyes. The room suddenly became unusually quiet. Lumian quietly turned off the radio light and closed the curtains. Then, he sat down on the chair next to the desk, quietly looking at his sister's defenseless sleeping face in the crimson moonlight that seeped in, and his heart gradually calmed down.
