【Witch: This gentleman's Tarot card is... the wheel of fortune. In the center of the card is a huge rotating wheel, which represents the change of fate that no one can resist. Grasping the opportunity given by fate may bring you success. 】

  【Witch: This lady is... on trial. Angels come to judge the good and evil in the world, and the messengers who descended from the sky blow the trumpet to alert the world. Judgment has the meaning of "rebirth" and represents a new beginning. I think the suffering that has haunted you for a long time is over, but maybe it is the beginning of a new suffering? 】

  …

   "Detective, let's go!" Alice grabbed Su Mingan's hand.

  Back to Fort City, Su Mingan was a little curious about the divination techniques of this era, so he stopped to find a divination booth. As a result, Alice resisted very much.

   "Okay." Su Mingan did not proceed to the next step of divination, he put the gold coins on the booth, turned and left. Maybe Alice doesn't like this feeling of destiny.

  It was already evening when they returned, and the street gradually lit up with warm yellow lights, like a river of light flowing on their shoulders. Along the way, Alice was chatting with him. She said that she wanted to learn swordsmanship and musketry in the future. By then, she would be able to blow up all the bad guys with a gun within three steps and a sword within three steps.

   "No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you." Alice squinted her eyes and made a gesture: "At that time, if there are villains who want to bully you, I will, bang!"

  She pointed at the white bird on the street lamp, and there were several "bang" and "bang", which made the white bird run around in fright.

  Su Mingan nodded and remained silent. He is not good at coaxing children. Alice is very lively now, and she is no longer the taciturn person she used to be, which makes him a little dizzy. But this shows that Alice has gradually stepped out of the haze of the past, which is a kind of growth.

fair enough.

  When passing by a brightly red neighborhood, Su Mingan felt himself being pulled.

   Looking back, it was a beautiful woman. The woman leaned against the light of the street lamp, beautiful and glamorous. A scent of powder and fine wine floated out through the window.

   "This...handsome young master." The woman observed Su Mingan's age, and said softly, "Do you mind spending a night with me? As long as you have a pocket watch on your waist."

   "Sorry." Su Mingan didn't want to stay longer.

  But at this time, Alice showed a strong curiosity and desire to explore, exploring her brain.

   "If the pocket watch is too expensive...ten Kerr is fine, come on, enjoy the moment." The woman said.

   "What do you enjoy?" Alice asked curiously.

  Su Mingan didn't want to spoil the child, so he pulled Alice away. The woman's voice became hasty and sad: "Then... the five Kerrs are fine... Well, three Kerrs? Two Kerrs? Handsome passer-by, whatever you think is fine."

  Her voice was already mixed with pleading and eagerness, and her voice was trembling.

  Alice couldn't help turning her head and looked at the thin woman under the street lamp. Although it was early summer, the temperature difference between day and night in Fort City was large, and it was still very cold in the evening. She wondered: "Master Detective, why do we... ignore her? She is already shivering from the cold, is she a bad person?"

"no."

   "Then why do you refuse to pay attention to her? She is very beautiful."

  Su Mingan sighed.

  Under the street lamps, Alice's purple eyes were dazzled by the dim light. Her eyes reflected a shivering woman. The good and evil in the whole world could be seen in front of her eyes. She couldn't understand why Su Ming'an would ignore a beautiful woman. In her thirteen years of life, no man in the slums seemed to refuse a beautiful woman.

   "Alice." Su Mingan squatted down.

  He has realized that he can only come back once in half a year. He cannot guide Alice like a normal teacher. No one can answer her moral and emotional problems.

   "You must like it and have a sense of responsibility in your heart." Su Mingan said.

   "Yes." Alice nodded.

   "She doesn't like me, and I don't like her, so no. If you think she needs help, you can give her money, but it's better not to do anything more extreme."

   "Is she a bad person?" Alice asked.

   "She is not, this world is a bad person, it is the world that forced her to do this, she is not wrong."

   "Oh." Alice nodded half-understanding: "I've heard of a concept called marriage, Mr. Detective, what is marriage?"

"Marriage is two people being together and facing happiness and difficulties together. You can get married when you grow up, you can stay married for the rest of your life, and you can marry whoever you like, as long as you like it, as long as the other person is willing. But before marriage, when you have no sense of responsibility , it's best not to be casual."

   "Then can I marry Chunxinbing?" Alice shouted excitedly after hearing this: "I like Chunxinbing very much!"

  Su Mingan felt helpless: "It's best to marry a human being."

   "So are you going to get married?"

"No."

   "Why?" Alice's eyes were bright. In fact, she has wondered about this question for a long time. In the past six months, Aunt Lina from the neighbor's house has always threatened her, saying that she is just a picked child, and if the detective has a wife in the future, she will not be wanted.

  If Mr. Detective never gets married, can they use their status as companions and walk hand in hand? He didn't have to leave, and she didn't have to be driven away. Mr. Detective used to drink heavily and was in poor health, so he definitely couldn't hold a sword. She can become stronger and protect him in the future, so that no other species can bully him, and she will always protect him.

   It must be possible.

   "Well, the reason is actually very simple." Su Mingan said.

  Alice's eyes widened, she was very afraid that Mr. Detective would say that she was an oil bottle.

   "Because... I haven't reached the legal age for marriage." Su Mingan said.

  The air seemed to be quiet.

  Alice blinked.

  For a moment, she felt a sense of irony.

  Although there is no age limit for marriage in this era, she suddenly remembered that Mr. Detective is only nineteen years old this year.

  Su Mingan stretched out his hand: "Let's go."

  Alice held his warm hand.

   They walked slowly under the dim street lights. Su Mingan turned around and gave the girl some money, asking her to find a way to make a living. Then they walked slowly down the long street, little by little.

  The street is very quiet, only their long shadows are left. Alice has been chirping, like an alert little sparrow.

"Mr. Detective, I heard that every winter, people who can't survive the winter will hand over their beautiful children for money, and then take the children back when they have money. I listened, and felt my body chilling. Such a child really Can I go back to my family?"

   "I believe you will change everything." Su Mingan said.

   "I mean, if you don't have enough money, I can share your worries in this way, Mr. Detective."

   "Don't go!"

   "Then do you plan to get married in the future?"

   "Probably not."

   "Never again?"

"Um."

   "Don't you have someone you like?"

   "..."

   "Or you can't like it?"

   "..."

   "Sorry, I seem to have said something inappropriate."

"fine."

   "But I heard from some neighbors that you actually have someone you like."

"who?"

   "I heard that you will marry the lighthouse."

   “…who told you that?”

  …

  Su Mingan and Alice have come a long way.

  Every time he gets along with her, every time he enters this game, Su Mingan's mind is very relaxed, and he can feel that the san value is rising imperceptibly. This game heals his spirit. Perhaps this is the only pure land in the tenth world.

   When arranging the schedule for the second semester, because of the large amount of funds and the recommendation of the princess, he directly reported Alice to the best royal swordsmanship class, taught by the royal swordsmanship teacher himself, 1000 Kerr a semester.

  【Girl: I will study hard. After half a year, when you come back, I will definitely grow into a companion that can make you proud. I will still make spring heart cakes and hot black tea, waiting for you to come back. 】

  【Girl: Goodbye, Mr. Detective. 】

  【Detective: Goodbye...Alice. 】

  …

   When quitting the game, Su Mingan actually felt a little bit reluctant.

  He hugged the dream patrol helmet and sat on the bed for a while. In the dimly lit room, there was only the sound of his own breathing. The air fell over his shoulders like a haze, heavy.

  There is only cold tea on the table, no spring cakes and black tea.

  ...It's obviously just a game.

  Alice also showed obvious npc characteristics. For example, she would not wonder why he suddenly disappeared, and she would not ask about things other than the game. When he was answering the questionnaire from the gods, she remained silent, as if she didn't see him.

   But when getting along with her, he felt that she was more real than anyone else in this world. It was like a shelter where he could breathe freely.

   "Boom boom."

  There was a knock on the door.

  Lv Shu stood at the door, wearing an obviously ill-fitting sportswear, suit trousers, and leather boots, presenting a very novel combination.

   "Su Ming'an, I won't wear a priest's uniform anymore." Lu Shu said.

   "Why?" Su Mingan stood up.

   "You... had an accident after seeing a priest." Lu Shu whispered.

  Su Mingan suddenly remembered his future image - he died after meeting a black-robed priest. So, did Lu Shu completely take off the priest's robe in order to prevent this precondition from happening?

   "That pastor will not be you, the tone is not the same. You can continue to be a pastor." Su Mingan said.

   "No, I don't want you to die, not at all," Lu Shu said. "I came to you because something big happened. You look at the forum."

  Su Mingan turned on the computer.

  The forum is still as lively as ever, people are playing "Girls Dream Project", and the development strategy can be seen everywhere.

   At the top is a very serious post, very popular:

  …

  【(Top)(Hot) The coalition government issued a "monster hunting order"—the government will do its best to investigate and exterminate people who may be aliens! This "monster hunting order" will be implemented for a long time, please cooperate with the public! 】

  …

   "Witch Hunting Order?" Su Mingan looked at the new term.

   "The Demon Hunting Order is a new policy issued by the coalition government two hours ago." Lu Shu's face was serious.

  Looking at Lu Shu's face, Su Mingan realized that this "monster hunting order" should not be a good thing.

  Su Mingan clicked on the post and saw that the post introduced the content of the "Demon Hunting Order", which is to determine whether a person is a heterogeneous person through blood tests, fixed-point investigations, patrols, random spot checks, etc. The investigation starts with the high-level government to ensure that all high-level people are human beings, and then it is extended to the public, and troops are dispatched in every city to conduct investigations, door-to-door.

  This policy seems to be a good thing. If we can find out who is a heterogeneous human being, it can reduce many casualties. However, Su Ming'an vaguely sensed that this policy felt like overkill, and the main purpose was "I would rather kill by mistake than let it go."

  —Such a good policy, why wasn’t it implemented earlier?

  —Because humans so far have no way to accurately detect alien species.

  Even Xiao Jingsan needs to use a front-end mirror to see the alien species. The government’s large-scale investigation of alien species and the use of blood tests with a high error rate to identify a person will only implicate innocent people.

  The coalition government issued this "monster hunting order", and it should have been carried out against great obstacles. The military power needed alone is massive, not to mention the large-scale manslaughter that will inevitably occur.

  Su Mingan looked at people's posts, no surprises, this top post was accused of commenting, and there are only a few below: [The hunting order is too timely! 】【Good job of the coalition government! 】【Great, I also hope to find out the alien species around me. ] and other praise posts, countless dissenting posts have been deleted.

   "Who proposed this policy?" Su Mingan couldn't help but say. Although this kind of radical policy has certain promotion value, it will definitely not be launched at this juncture. It should wait until the contradictions of the Dream Watchers are alleviated before launching it.

   It was launched at this juncture, there must be some players fueling the flames.

   Lu Shu said: "It is a player group composed of dozens of people, and they have induced the policy orientation of the coalition government."

  Su Mingan said: "It's amazing to be able to do this."

  The coalition government is a human collective that gathers fifty-eight independent political bodies, including politicians, entrepreneurs, experts, scholars, and military elites. Being able to stir up the situation here, promote the implementation of policies, bribe members of parliament, and persuade the consuls, the means of this group of players are indeed excellent.

   This is the first time Su Mingan has seen a player who can lead the world in the upper class. Although he has heard of it before, he has not seen it with his own eyes.

   Lu Shu hesitated for a while, and said, "The leader of this group of players is..."

   "Mizushima Kawasora, right?" Su Mingan said.

   "Yes." Lu Shu nodded.

  Su Mingan has already thought of her. As a player who has completed the level perfectly, she does have such strength. She can command a group of elite players to do things for her, and even the policy direction of the coalition government is in her hands.

   Does she want to fight him head-on? Or are you ready to take another approach to salvation?

  Su Mingan continued to slide the mouse, and the next moment, his pupils widened slightly.

  In the arrest warrant issued by the government, he saw a familiar name:

  …

  【Person to be executed at 12 o'clock tomorrow: Kamihira Takuya (real name: Yamada Machiichi)】

  【Identity: Suspected alien】

  【Means of Execution: Shooting】

  【Location: The 12th district of the coalition government, 39 degrees north latitude, 131 degrees east longitude. 】

  …
