MTL - Therapy Planet No. 13-Chapter 86 Rose
"Welcome back."
Capital Star, Changping Prefecture, Liesen City, Ninth Street, Rose Avenue.
It is the largest religious gathering place in the capital.
There are people coming and going, people in white robes shuttle among them, with the most sincere smiles to everyone who passes by, and on this street, you can see a small wooden house with a steeple after almost two steps. , The outside is covered with green vines, and there is no shadow of autumn at all.
In front of each wooden house, there will be decorations that are unique to a specific religion, or a branch, a stone, or a pattern assembled from various basic geometries.
There are not a few religions that have been legally registered and expanded in the Religious Affairs Bureau these days, and the largest of them is of course the small hollowed-out pagoda that occupies most of the street.
There are free food and water all year round in the house, and the taste is quite good, for the poor people who come and go to taste for free.
Behind the self-catering stand is a small secret door. It used to be called a "confession room" in many religions, but now people prefer to call it a "compartment".
The cubicle is a bit like a lounge, you can talk to the priest present, or just have a simple chat, or you can invite some friends to refuse the priest to have a long talk.
Most of the current sects are integrated into the secular, so even if this is a religious gathering place, there are many financial tycoons who are in a hurry.
In fact, in addition to being called the "red rose" in the religious world to describe the Pure Land, the Avenue of Roses also has a secular nickname:
"Black and gold roses."
A hawker shouted at the passing tourists, took out a rose with black and gold luster from the flower basket, and handed it to a couple who came out of a commercial building: "Sir? Do you want a rose? Legend has it that he has a black and gold rose. The fortune of the people will definitely rise this year."
The man in an off-white trench coat took the rose from the hawker with a smile, and popped a fifty star coin from his pocket: "Don't look for it."
He was well-dressed, lined with a light-colored shirt, stretched out his hand to press the white politeness on the top of his head, and pinned the rose to his chest, adding a bit of a flirtatious feeling, and wearing a pair of white leather boots, he went straight to The female companion next to her walked into the wooden house whose door was prefixed with a small hollowed-out tower.
Black gold is a black to shiny color that shines under the light and exudes a golden luster.
Black is the black of hell, and gold is the gold of gold.
It is also the largest financial center of Capital Star, where countless money flows, tempting, degenerate, and maddening.
Step over the threshold and into the cubicle without any religious person to bother you.
The man took off the top hat on his head, bowed slightly, and politely said to the female companion beside him: "Welcome back, Marta Philby."
Marta was dressed almost exactly like him, she nodded, and the moment she took off her top hat, her cuffs were lifted slightly, revealing the reinforced iron-boned prosthesis inside.
"I am deeply saddened by what happened to you in the past."
The man turned around and took out a small pendant from the drawer, and handed it to Marta, sitting on the high platform of the crumbling tower.
"But as you can see, the true God is merciful. Even if you have betrayed us, he is still willing to give you a second chance."
His tone was calm and long, with a calming power.
"Your injury is very serious, but the high priest of Satyr thinks that you are just confused for a while, so he does his best to give you a new life."
The man smiled and said, "The replanted organs restore the flesh and bones as much as possible. Where they can't, they also use new bionic materials to build a stronger body, and add prosthetic eyes with multiple functions... I can say bluntly that after this transformation, you are as perfect as an angel."
Marta's appearance hasn't changed much from the outside.
After listening to the man's words, she didn't say anything. She just nodded slightly and interrupted him: "Pastor, I didn't come here to listen to your compliments."
"That's natural."
The pastor spread his hands in a relaxed manner.
"Armi can't go back. The new you needs a new mission."
He reached out and twisted the spire of the pendant, and an illusory face was immediately projected on it.
The scar that runs across the right face, and the other half of the silver-white mask reveals dark blue eyes.
Distinctive features.
"..." Matta paused, "Lucas Tang? You want me to approach him?"
"Accurately speaking, I want you to enter the core layer of the pirate group." The priest responded with a smile, "You just need to do the work you did before, approach, observe, report... This kind of thing should be for you. It's easy to drive."
Marta didn't deny it, she looked away from Lucas' face and turned to the pastor: "You look very young... I remember that the pastor I received here before was not you."
"If you mean Miss Merle, she has already been promoted." The priest kept a decent smile.
"Oh?" Marta nodded, and the conversation changed. "What about the identity? Infiltration should require a new identity... Is the proof of the relevant federal citizenship information solved by me or arranged by you?"
"No, you don't need a new identity."
The priest said with a muffled laugh: "You just need to be yourself, the soldier who absconded from Armi, what an attractive bargaining chip, don't you think?"
Marta frowned. "But how—"
"I can recommend."
The pastor stretched out his hand, nodded his forehead, and gave a military salute of the Freedom Alliance: "Introduce myself, my name is Ahan, I am twenty-seven years old today, and I have worked for Lord Boyd for many years. I am very happy to work with you in the future. ."
Marta understood in an instant, it seems that the rumored rapid rise of the Freedom Alliance is not a monolith.
***
At this moment.
The Sphinx Nebula of Betelgeuse, tourist center.
Louis was half-armed by Angel's arm, just like all the other tourists here, holding the desert rose-flavored ice cream, a local specialty, in his free hand, strolling under the huge cloud.
"Is it tasty?"
Dongyang licked the ice cream in his hand and sighed that rich people are good.
"There are a lot of fake products here. Without locals like us to lead the way, you can't find really delicious ice cream at all!"
The autumn sun was just right, neither cold nor hot, the sun shone down lazily and fell on the little girl's hair, dyeing it with a golden velvety light.
"What is the thing you bought before? Piracy! Absolute piracy! I'm anxious to watch it!!"
Lu Yi glanced at her coldly, and the little girl who had just grown thorns instantly shrank back.
"Why haven't people come yet?"
she asked.
Dongyang shrugged and looked innocent: "How do I know? I'm not with them again... To put it bluntly, I'm just an errand.
Anyway, the message was sent in front of you—you have seen it, what can I do if people don’t chase after it? It's not like you said that you want to come and visit, I also took it on the way, they don't come to blame me? "
After experiencing the threat of life again, Dongyang really realized that although Angel, a smiling tiger, would threaten her with murder at every turn, Lu Yi, who was watching cold words beside her, was her protection.
To use an inappropriate analogy, if Angel is the fox biting people in the woods, then Louis is the rein tied to the fox's neck.
"However, why are you here?"
Dongyang is curious: "It's all tourists here... You look like—"
She originally wanted to say that she didn't look like a tourist at all, but when she was halfway through the sentence, she stared at the two's dresses carefully, and finally had to admit in a dejected manner, well, the two of them dress and dress like tourists.
I don't know if it's acting or it's true, Dongyang feels that compared to when they just met before, the murderous aura on their bodies has been restrained a lot.
Even Lu Yi, who was paralyzed, had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
A cloud floated beside her, and Dongyang waved his hands casually to disperse the misty gas in front of her.
The climate here is unique. Affected by the peculiar terrain and climate, countless fixed-shaped clouds and mists swelled up on the huge plane, like a physical mirage, and like a real cloud capital.
From a distance, it looks like a huge moving castle.
The main cloud mass in this place is named after the Sphinx, a famous scenic spot in a certain branch of the ancient earth civilization.
From the moment it was discovered, it earned enough people's attention, and it developed into a huge, mature, tourism market in ten years.
Because of its hazy and romantic atmosphere, it has been pilgrimage by many young couples, and it has almost become a few popular attractions that must be visited on dates.
Lu Yi handed the original flavor of his hand to Angel's mouth with a calm expression. Angel also licked it calmly. The corners of his mouth were stained with milky white cream. Lu Yi kissed it lightly without thinking. She swallowed the excess cream from the corner of her mouth.
Dongyang: "…"
Well, she felt like she had been hit hard at her age as a young single dog.
Such a natural action is almost indistinguishable from the young couples who come and go.
"There are many people, it is hidden, and it is easy to do it."
Lu Yi held Angel's face and moved away slightly, his eyes seemed to be full of love, but he said to Dongyang: "Let the snake out of the hole."
Dongyang: "...Oh."
"Don't listen to her." Angel had a smile in his eyes. "She is a wooden head. We originally planned to come here for a date, and the main purpose remains the same."
Dongyang: "...Okay."
She shouldn't have asked such self-defeating questions!
Dongyang turned his head away, too lazy to look at the pair of actors behind him.
At this time, she deeply felt that the failure of these two to enter the entertainment industry was a great loss to the people of the entire interstellar space. Both their proficiency and naturalness were regarded as the first line of the universe, and she did remember that the two did not have any related exchanges before. , so this kind of natural tacit understanding is also unheard of.
really...
Breathtaking.
