Chapter 003 The Four
Tarona is a person with a very flexible bottom line. Just like she can touch Batman in order to complete the mission, she can have many personalities as long as necessary.
Unlike her good friend, who was so thin-skinned that she immediately felt guilty once she deviated from the script.
Compared to her friend who only has about 20 years of work experience, she, a veteran with at least 200 years of work experience, is indeed much more experienced.
Just like the young man who was obviously the leader among the three people, Tarona could see at a glance that he was a good person in the traditional sense and very easy to deceive.
Look, she fooled me.
Theseus: ...
Theseus had to say: [It's because your acting is so good, not because others are so easy to deceive. ]
Anyone who didn't know the truth would not doubt this pitiful and weak woman, especially since she was carrying a child.
This combination, coupled with good acting skills, is simply a killer combination.
But his partner said something very right: this person, these three people, are all good people in the traditional sense.
Perhaps, we can start with these three people.
Theseus thought for a moment, then immediately opened another panel and began to compare the information of the three people in the database at the same time.
Gentlemen behave with courtesy and propriety. The young man and the two boys stopped at the entrance of the cave without even looking inside.
Tarona continued to tidy up his clothes, took out a bottle of primary healing potion from the space, uncorked it and poured all the potion into the palm of his hand, then used magic power to condense it into a bean-sized drop of water and fed it to the child who was sleeping soundly.
The effect of the potion was immediate, and the child's burning body temperature quickly dropped to normal. After making sure that the child was fine, she withdrew the magic power that had been maintaining the child's vital signs.
No one spoke in the cave. Apart from the heavy rain and the roaring wind outside the cave, the surroundings were very quiet, with only the crackling campfire.
The quiet environment was perfect for rest. Tarona patted the child's back gently, slowly adjusted his pretended breathing, and observed the young man sitting in the wheelchair.
The [Blood Nun] has a 360-degree field of view, so the great witch can see everything clearly.
Handsome looks were secondary, she was looking at the young man's legs.
My legs are crippled...
The nun in black and white couldn't help but fall into the tide of old memories.
...Riyos.
She still remembered that among those children there was a boy named Lios who had an accident when he was young and became unable to walk. He was abandoned by his father at the gate of the monastery in the winter and almost died.
If the child were still alive...
Ah, has he grown up to look like this?
Tarona shook his head lightly, shaking out the sudden memory of the "Blood Nun" from his mind.
For a moment, she actually saw this young man as the child named Lios who was lost by the "Blood Sister". This sudden emotion even affected the officers themselves.
Ah, this weird and flawed maternal love...
The Great Witch sighed with a headache: [Is this the disadvantage of vests? ]
The advantage is that it protects the officers, but the disadvantage is that it can easily affect the officers?
Theseus answered while collecting data: [Using its power will inevitably involve certain risks. It is just that your emotions are affected. With your willpower, this is not a risk at all.]
With the willpower of most of the Time and Space Balance Bureau's officers, this could not be considered a risk. At most, it was just an extra bit of fun. Some officers even enjoyed it.
After a few seconds, Theseus said, "Miss Ta, I have verified the identities of these three people and have sorted out the information. Do you want me to read it to you?"
[Read it.]
Theseus always knows how to summarize, and he introduced the identities of these three good people in just two sentences.
This good man in the wheelchair is one of the protagonists of this martial arts world, the leader of the Four Famous Detectives, whose real name is Sheng Yayu, codenamed Wuqing.
The two good guys standing, the one on the left is Lin Yaode of the Golden Sword, and the one on the right is He Fan of the Silver Sword. They are two of the Four Merciless Sword Boys.
Tarona: […I need detailed information, thank you.]
She is an officer who is stationed in the Anglo-American world. She knows nothing about the world of martial arts. Why does she summarize it so concisely?
Are you afraid that she will try to scam the other party?
Theseus sighed and sent the details to his partner: [Excuse me, Miss Ta, when you said this, you actually had the idea of making trouble for others. 】
Tarona: [……]
Tarona tried to change the topic: [Have you found the comparison information of the big bird? ]
Theseus, who really thought she was worrying about this, took a look at the search progress and answered honestly: [Not yet, the progress bar is still 27% left.]
The database of the Space-Time Balance Bureau is like a vast ocean, containing everything. Even the same type of data may be different depending on the world. This means that there are more objects for reference and comparison, so progress will naturally not be fast.
Tarona hesitated to speak, and finally shut up.
Forget it, her partner has never been able to read the air, so let's end this topic here.
Let her see the protagonist of the martial arts world.
With the crackling sound of the campfire, Tarona finished reading the information about the martial arts world called The Four, page by page, one second at a time. After finishing reading, she only wanted to say one thing to Wuqing: What a beautiful, strong and tragic couple!
How come this kind of setting is also popular in the world of martial arts?
Fortunately, compared with the darkness and cruelty of the DC universe, the world of martial arts is not too sunny.
Tarona, who didn't like reading popular novels, muttered a few words and put the information away.
When she looked at Wuqing again, she felt that this good man had a golden angel halo above his head.
What is this called?
When I feel sleepy, a pillow is given to me.
Theseus was right, she did have the idea of touching Wuqing when she learned that Wuqing was the protagonist.
The method of finding anomalies that Tarona discovered in the previous mission world is not applicable to finding anomalies, but she has her own experience, for example - anomalies like the son of fortune who carries the world's destiny.
Here we have to mention what the Son of Destiny is.
Simply put, it is the protagonist.
Unlike the Sons of the World who are loved by the World Consciousness and regarded as its own children, the Sons of Destiny are short-lived and one can have several of them at the same time.
Although the world consciousness does not give too much preference to the children of luck, they do have deeper luck than ordinary people and are easier to reach the top. Moreover, because of the protection of luck, even in such a dangerous situation with a 100% chance of death, their chances of survival will be as high as more than 90%.
What about the less than 10 percent that remains?
Oh, that's fate.
They are very fond of the Son of Fortune. They will consciously look for the Son of Fortune. If they have no bad intentions, they will stick to them. If they have bad intentions... they will be the Ten-fold Tonic Pill.
Few of the Sons of Fortune are fools. The anomalies that have just arrived in the world dare not make too much noise. They will have a period of dormant development. During this period, the Sons of Fortune can completely rely on their own abilities to avoid the pursuit of the anomalies.
But once their dormant period is over and they start to develop, that’s another story.
Although the Children of Destiny are not as beloved by the World Consciousness as the Children of the World, they are still important members of the world. The World Consciousness cannot allow the Children of Destiny, who carry great luck, to be harmed abnormally. The abnormal death of the Children of Destiny may very likely shake the stability of the world. This is one of the reasons why the World Consciousness commissioned the Space-Time Balance Bureau.
So sometimes, the officers have to act as bodyguards for the Child of Destiny for a period of time.
You can also call it fishing enforcement.
Wuqing is one of the several lucky sons in this martial arts world. Without being sure about the specific situation of the other lucky sons, Tarona decisively chose to follow him.
First of all, this is a ready-made clue and bait.
Secondly, if she wanted to take action against the Son of Fortune, she would be unable to reach the others, but she could still protect this one.
Three, come...
Tarona suspected that the big bird had something to do with the abnormality.
Although she had heard other officers talk about giant eagles in the martial arts world before, giant eagles were normal creatures and did not have the strange ability to infect others with blood after death.
Moreover, as for the point about catching children...why did she feel like she had heard some related descriptions somewhere?
Tsk, if I had known this, I would have looked at the situation in other worlds.
No matter what, Tarona has decided to follow Wuqing.
If the big bird is really related to the anomaly, then its appearance nearby means that there are probably important clues nearby. Maybe... it came for Wuqing, the child of destiny.
Abnormal, some vicious dogs came here just by smelling the scent.
Tarona likes good people, and good people mean that they have a high sense of morality. A righteous hero like Wuqing would never do such a cruel thing as abandoning a weak, blind woman with a child in the mountains, even though they had never met before.
Theseus sighed: "Is this why your moral sense is as flexible as your bottom line?"
As long as I have no morals, no one can kidnap me?
Tarona admitted straightforwardly: "After losing my morals, I feel much more refreshed."
Theseus thought about it and realized that what his partner said was true. His partner, whose moral sense and bottom line were flexible, had never been torn or felt guilty.
She has always refused to waste her own energy and insisted on wasting others' energy. This may be the reason why her mission completion rate has always been so high.
But Theseus still wanted to remind his partner: "Miss Ta, this is a martial arts world, you should be more restrained. The ancients were very reserved, not the unrestrained and passionate modern Westerners."
Tarona replied with an OK raccoon emoticon in the paint, indicating that she knew what was going on.
So Theseus continued to look up information with peace of mind.
Time passed gradually, and soon it was late night. The heavy rain outside the cave finally showed signs of stopping.
Tarona pretended to have fallen asleep with the child in his arms, watching Golden Sword and Silver Sword taking shifts. He watched the two young men whisper to Wuqing, who had just woken up from a light sleep, about the heavy rain being about to stop. He watched Wuqing think for a few moments before deciding to set off early the next morning.
The Great Witch listened attentively to the sounds coming from farther away, and judged and calculated the nearest town from them. Combining it with the conversation between Wuqing and the other two, she already had a reasonable excuse to follow them.
