Chapter 84: Tomorrow (3)
After having dinner with Mujie, Shouye led his people back to the Executive Building. Zheshu happened to be free, so she took the initiative to suggest that she take Mujie to familiarize himself with the relevant duties of the Executive Building. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will probably assign him here in the future.
Mujie certainly has an impression of Zheshu. When they were inspecting the hospital before, she showed considerable kindness and friendliness, not to mention that she was a friend of the teacher. He subconsciously chose to trust her.
Zhe Shu's voice was still gentle, and she asked patiently: "Shou Ye told me that you had been living in the 15th District before, and you don't know much about the Imperial Capital, is that right?"
Seeing Mu Jie nod, Zhe Shu chose to explain the general situation to him, and finally the responsibilities of different departments in the executive building.
The young man listened carefully, and he tried to remember what Zhe Shu said, especially about the representative industries and factions of the famous families in the Imperial Capital, and which ones he could try to contact. He was a little dizzy.
Mu Jie nodded in confusion. At this time, he heard Zhe Shu say, "By the way, you should have met Yi Zi and Te Meila."
Mu Jie thought of the two people he met, and asked carefully, "Are they companions of Watchman? They seem to have a good relationship, but... they seem to be a little hostile to me."
"After all, the current node is quite special. Your appearance represents new possibilities, but also a trouble." Zhe Shu thought about it, and still explained a few words for Te Meila, "The girl with pink hair is Te Meila. She is the sister of the head of the Renmi family who supports Watchman behind the scenes. She may be worried that the adults are being targeted."
"But don't worry."
Zhe Shu carefully noticed Mu Jie's worried expression. She changed the subject and comforted the young man with a teasing tone: "They can't do anything to you for the time being."
The current situation is that Shouye doesn't cause trouble for other big families. How could they take the initiative to provoke her.
After all, Shouye usually behaves as she pleases in the imperial capital. If she is tricked, she will definitely retaliate immediately. She can protect her own people, and most of the family members behind her can't afford to offend, and Shouye herself has nothing to worry about.
She is alone, and except for being full of glory, she seems to have no other worries, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
One day, if she is in a bad mood or doesn't want to live anymore, she may drag everyone to hell together.
"But Yi Zi probably just simply hates you." Zhe Shu continued calmly. She recalled the pitiful look of Yi Zi when Shou Ye picked him up at the beginning. Comparing it with the current look in her mind, she missed the little dog who was a little fierce but actually very cute.
"He is not happy with everyone who approaches Shou Ye." Zhe Shu added calmly, "He was the same to me at the beginning. Just ignore him, it's okay."
Mu Jie agreed. He was actually a little curious about the story between Shou Ye and them, or to be more precise, he was full of curiosity about Shou Ye himself, and he wanted to know more.
Mu Jie thought so and asked, and Zhe Shu had no hidden thoughts, she answered his question.
"If you want to know, of course you can. After all, this is not a secret."
Her eyes were filled with the romantic sea of clouds in the distance. The sunset glow was just coming. It was the magnificence that only appeared when day and night merged. Like that sporadic smile, Zhe Shu slightly lowered his eyelashes and hid the revealed emotions. "But I don't know much."
"Two years ago, Shouye went out alone to perform a mission. When he came back, there was a young man with injuries beside him. Since then, Yi Zi has stayed in 'Eternal Day' and was trained by Shouye as a confidant. During the first period of time, Yi Zi was very repulsive to everything around him. Except for Shouye, he would not let anyone approach him. He was wary of everything here."
"It is said that Yi Zi was already a high-ranking official when he first came to the Eternal Day District. He always completed the tasks assigned by Shouye in the most perfect way, and soon after, he became one of the few plunderers in the imperial capital. The royal family and the Procuratorate both extended olive branches to Yi Zi, but he refused without hesitation and chose to stay with Shouye."
"Arrogant and willful, Shouye's 'mad dog' has become a consensus among the people of the imperial capital. If you want to provoke Shouye, you must first consider whether you have the ability to kill that madman."
"You'd better stay away from him." Zhe Shu looked at him and gave him a few suggestions purely out of good intentions.
"That guy is crazy. He killed everyone who had offended Vigil, and he also killed those who Vigil showed a bit of indifference. Unless Vigil made it clear that they could not be moved, no one could survive the next day under his hands."
"You have seen Yi Zi, but do you know how many interceptors he hunted down in order to capture an awakened person who could change his appearance? That day, the whole building was stained red with blood. How tragic, and the reason was so ridiculous - just because he wanted to change his eye color to the same deep red as Vigil, and the previous iris surgeries did not make them completely similar."
"You'd better stay away from him. Don't provoke him. If Shouye acts like he cares about you, who knows what kind of crazy thing he will do."
Zhe Shu finally warned, but Mu Jie didn't come to his senses and seemed to be stunned for a while before asking stupidly: "Yi Zi... do you love Shouye very much?"
"Love...?" Zhe Shu really didn't expect him to ask such a question. She was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, "I guess so." "
But it's more like a twisted emotion."
"Their relationship is very complicated. Shouye is more like borrowing Yi Zi's loyalty and strength, and Yi Zi seems to regard Shouye as the pillar and belief of survival."
"I think he was once trapped in a swamp, and Shouye appeared at that time to drive away the extreme night for him, bringing light and warmth, so he dedicated everything for it, even his life, stubborn and crazy."
"'He lost the will to live and longed for new sustenance, and I just happened to give him a reason to live.' These are the words said by Shouye herself, and her tone was like she was talking about a very satisfactory deal."
"Do you think this is love?"
He was unable to answer, and was silent for a moment before choosing to change the subject. The floating fluorescent lights flickered in his eyes like the sea of spring, and he still looked gentle and clear, "Tell me about Temera."
"Temera is much easier to get along with than Yi Zi. After all, she is just an overly 'naive' noble lady." Zhe Shu tapped the file board with his fingers, his voice clear and cold.
"Temera is a spoiled little princess with a capricious temper. As long as she is not mad, she will not cause trouble to anyone."
"She has killed quite a few people. After all, the little princess likes to take action when she is unhappy. However, her temper comes and goes quickly."
"Sometimes she may just lose interest, and sometimes it may just be because the other person has her favorite candy in his pocket. She will kill people for inexplicable reasons and let them go at the same time. She is free enough to do whatever she wants."
"But she is not innocent. It can only be said that she is naive and cruel. Temei has an angelic face and a petite figure that are enough to confuse people. She is innocent, but also vicious and cunning. The innate arrogance and dignity of the noble family are perfectly integrated in her."
"Temei is the apple of the eye of the Mi family. Your Excellency has unexpectedly gained the support of this huge family. It's funny to say that Temei happened to be quarreling with her family before Watchman, and Watchman thought it was interesting and intervened. She helped this time, but she didn't expect Temei to be so entangled with her."
"Maybe it's because of those few words, or maybe it's because of that candy, anyway, Temera has a good impression of her. The pampered little princess of the Mi family ran to Shouye and obeyed her orders. In the eyes of others, this may be a disgrace to the noble family, but Temera doesn't care. She only cares about her own thoughts."
"Although we all like to call her 'little princess' as a joke, everyone knows that she is not someone who can be bullied. The head of the Mi family is a plunderer, and so is she."
Makisuke thought of the meeting this morning, the agile and light figure of the girl and the gentle fragrance. She talked to Shouye with a bent eyebrow, and greeted him in a friendly manner when she looked at him, but there was a disdainful arrogance in her eyes, as if she was teasing a pet casually.
She didn't like him, he saw it at first sight, but he hoped she wouldn't cause him trouble.
"You look a little uneasy." Zhe Shu saw what he was thinking, she comforted the young man gently, "But you have a special status now, and no one dares to cause you trouble."
"What you really have to be wary of is the people on Wang Chu's side."
Zhe Shu sighed, she wanted to keep watch probably because she didn't want to involve Mu Jie, but it couldn't always be like this, those people would find him sooner or later, it would be better to take the initiative in their hands first.
He will eventually come back here, a place where he should have grown up, his real home.
Here, Zhe Shu was explaining the situation to Mu Jie, while on the other hand, Keep Watch was talking to the observer in Shihai. The new bishop of Saint Vieille Church said that he was more accustomed to this way.
Shouye just told him to do whatever he wanted. Just as she was about to continue with her work, the observer suddenly said,
"Wang Chu is here to see Mu Jie."
Shouye flipped a page of documents nonchalantly, then continued, "Why, are you here to improve your acting skills?"
She was not interested in the drama of brotherly love.
The observer did not reply for a moment, as if he was still observing the situation on the other end. After a long while, he hesitantly repeated: "Wang Chu told Mu Jie that his original name was Heechul, and the royal family's surname was Hobrans."
"Why is he so kind all of a sudden...? Want to test Mu Jie's attitude and see if he has other thoughts?"
Shouye thought about it for a moment. She didn't think much about it and directly ruled out the possibility that Wang Chu was kind. "Maybe, what did Mu Jie say? Did he accept this name?"
The observer chuckled, "He doesn't have a real sense of belonging here. Now he knows who caused all this. Do you think he will continue to follow his words?"
"He said his name is Makisuke, and few civilians in the fifteenth district have family surnames." The observer watched with interest, "This should reach His Majesty's ears soon."
Guilt, a short-term emotion, is certainly worth using, especially to find a long-lost child, he needs more compensation.
Benefits, this is the most real existence.
His words are facts, and they are the arguments of wandering outside for several years. It seems that he is vaguely distancing himself from the relationship, but everyone knows that he has no memory of the past after all.
Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally.
His fingertips brushed across the cold pinky ring, and the night watchman lowered his eyes with an interested smile at the corner of his lips.
He did not let her down.
