MTL - Lord of the Mysteries-~ The daily life of an ordinary person (8)
The scene in front of me was so ordinary that Patton didn't think there was any problem.
Although he vaguely felt a little familiar, he didn't think it was strange:
How come the scenes you see every day are not familiar?
His eyes moved, looking at the sky, and he saw the crimson moon hang quietly, swaying light, which made people involuntarily settle down.
At this moment, Patton seemed to relieve the invisible burden, his body and mind were extremely relaxed, and there was no panic, anxiety and irritability like before.
His spiritual instinct told him that this matter of Vernal is over and will not affect his life anymore.
"The storm is up, thank the Lord for his blessing." Button immediately shook his right boxing and left chest, and whispered to himself.
Without that worry and tension, he only felt tired like a flood, rushing out of the depths of his soul, flooding his brain, flooding his limbs, and every cell of his body.
Barton couldn't help but hold his back against his mouth and yawned, but there was a more pleasant smile on his face.
He didn't stay in the study anymore, turned around and left here, went all the way back to the bedroom, took a bath in a state of enjoyment, and drank a small glass of wine.
This night, Button didn't dream any more and slept abnormally.
When he woke up in the morning, his spirit was stretched and his joy was dark, as if he had a new life.
After looking at his wife who was still asleep, Barton woke up carefully, changed clothes, and walked around the house.
He had never found his neighborhood so beautiful before:
The air is fresh, the environment is peaceful, and the scenery is pleasant, even pedestrians are so educated.
This made Button's mood even better, and once again deeply realized that Vernal's affairs were over, and he returned to the ordinary and peaceful life.
He kept this mood, returned home, and enjoyed breakfast with his wife and children.
In the process, he even told his wife a joke published in the newspaper, which met a small demand from the children.
Seeing the smile on his wife and child's face, Button felt heartily satisfied.
Then, he put on his coat, put on his hat, took his cane, went out on a trolley bus, and went all the way to the "Ruun Antiquities Collection and Protection Foundation" on the edge of the city.
Entering his office, Button retrieved the rhythm of the past. Instead of busying with work, he prepared for his own black tea with some exotic herbs.
With black tea, after leisurely reading the newspapers that he did not subscribe to, he picked up the letters and documents he received and reviewed them in turn.
Such a process, such a rhythm, made him feel very comfortable.
The only dissonance is that Button still worried about receiving Vernal's letter.
However, this concern has not become a reality.
About a quarter of an hour later, his office door was knocked by Tuk Tuk.
"Please come in." Barton picked up the cup and drank lipstick tea.
Pushing in the door is the deputy director of the Compliance Department, which is ordinary in appearance and has no characteristics, but it makes people feel friendly Pacheco Dawn.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Pacheco asked hello as he stood at the door.
"Excellent." Button didn't hide.
Pacheco nodded and smiled:
"It seems that you have indeed got rid of this matter."
Barton did not say the "nightmare" he had made and instead asked:
"How about you?"
"I also slept very well." Pacheco responded with a smile. "The police have completely taken over the matter. It is said that Vernal was found last night. Unfortunately, he seems to have suffered misfortune."
"Poor man, may he have peace." Patton did not say that the Lord would bless him, because Vernal had already abandoned his belief in the "Storm Lord", if there is "blessing", it must be lightning and storm.
Having said that, thinking of the help Pacheco provided before, and the friendly gesture of the other party, Button said:
"Wait for lunch together?"
"Are you inviting guests?" Pacheco said with a smile.
"Of course, it's nice to meet you as a friend." Barton stood up and saluted with a gentlemanly manner.
Pacheco nodded gently:
"Then I am waiting for your invitation in the Compliance Department.
"Before 12 o'clock?"
"No problem." Apart from thanking each other, Patton also felt that knowing the deputy director of the "Compliance Department" would be of great help to the future work.
Moreover, he believes that Pacheco should be like himself, in some ways better than the average person.
After watching Pacheco leave his office, Patton sat down again and exhaled slowly and slowly.
As an ordinary person with a normal IQ, he can fully see that Vernal is full of weirdness, involving issues in the field of occultism and religion.
In addition, he is also very interested in the division of the Tamara family, the hidden history of the Quaternary and the details of Vernal's encounter.
But he knew that he couldn't go deeper. It was the ordinary man's greatest luck to see that the part of the iceberg surfaced did not die. If he wanted to figure out the specific conditions under the water, he would be drowned.
That archaeological experience in the past made Barton dare not take risks, nor did he want to take risks.
For him, curiosity is probably the least valuable thing.
After secretly feeling emotion for a while, Button continued to work.
As soon as 12 o'clock, he put the items on the table, picked up the coat and bowler hat hanging on the coat rack, left the office, and walked outside the "Compliance Department" door.
Boom boom, Patton knocked on the wooden door in front of him.
Soon, Pacheco opened the door and glanced at Button:
"Give me another five minutes, I still have one thing to do."
"No problem." Barton replied indifferently.
"Come in and wait." Pacheco said casually.
Barton was not polite, stepped into the "Compliance Department" and found a chair to sit down.
He looked around the room at random, and found that there were about six to seven personnel in the Compliance Department.
At this moment, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Before the employees of the "Compliance Department" got up, the door creaked and opened.
The first to enter was the deputy director of the "Ruun Antiquities Collection and Protection Foundation".
This is a spirited old man, he looked around, his eyes stayed on Button for a second and then said:
"It seems everyone is there.
"I introduce you to a new colleague."
During the speech, the deputy chairman stepped forward a few steps, so that the new employees of the "Compliance Department" that followed were revealed to everyone.
This is a woman in her twenties, with a tall nose, plump lips, dark grey eyes, and a pretty face, wearing a common blue dress.
However, there was no expression on her face, and the whole was not like a real person, closer to a wax figure.
Button and Pacheco's eyes suddenly solidified.
The vice chairman continued to smile and said:
"She will be the deputy director of the Compliance Department, just like Pacheco. Her name is Alysia Tamara."
(The daily routine of an ordinary person is over)
PS1: Of course, the daily life of ordinary people can't go too deep. This is the presentation of the water surface of the iceberg without involving below the water surface. Well, it is also a narrative attempt.
PS2: If the final part is just for fear effect, without considering the three views of characters, it should be written like this:
During the speech, the deputy chairman stepped forward a few steps, so that the new employees of the "Compliance Department" that followed were revealed to everyone.
This is a woman in her twenties, with a tall nose, plump lips, dark grey eyes, and a pretty face, wearing a common blue dress.
Button and Pacheco's eyes suddenly solidified.
At that moment, the lady's mouth turned up and she smiled naturally:
"Hello everyone, this is Alysia Tamara."
