Chapter 18 Hell is empty and the devil is in the world
In an office inside the Paris police station.
Sophie King sat in her seat blankly, with a newspaper placed in front of her. The cover of the newspaper was a coded picture that still showed a bloody scene, and it was also paired with a line of bloody characters -
—[The murderer’s rampant massacre! Two police officers and twenty-three citizens were killed!]
"It's scary, isn't it?"
A voice brought Sophie back to her senses.
"What?" Sophie looked towards the direction of the sound.
"I said this thing is really terrible. It's rare to see such a terrifying murderer, and he killed so many people at once."
Colleague Meili said mysteriously, "I heard that the murderer should have the identity of an agent or a special soldier...otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a thing at all!"
"The nature of this matter is so bad. A special team should be set up immediately to investigate. It is a terrible thing to have such a terrifying murderer wandering around." Another colleague also agreed.
"No, that's not the case!"
Sophie thought to herself.
But she didn't make a sound.
She knew that was not the case, but she could not stand up and tell the people around her... because if she did, she might be treated as a joke, or even arrested, or sent to a mental hospital.
But why is this happening?
Why, obviously he is a human trafficker and a bad guy, but he becomes an innocent citizen?
Why is it that a good person who originally did good deeds and rescued those people, but his methods were a little extreme, was directly labeled as a murderer?
That boy...
Under that firm bet, you actually already have a thorough understanding of this world and are disappointed, right?
And under such circumstances, you can still stick to yourself and do things to help others...
The vibration of the phone brought Sophie back to her senses.
She took it out and checked, it was a text message.
The address of a coffee shop.
Signed - People looking for fun.
This is the benefit of switching between different languages. Anxi's signature is actually "乐子人", but there is no special word for this in French... Some things suddenly become literary and artistic if you change the word.
…
Making an excuse of feeling unwell, Sophie left the police station.
Anyway, although her position is very high, there is nothing she is asked to do on weekdays. At most, it is some file management and the like.
She has also fought, but there is no way. She can't make it difficult for others to contradict a rich oil tycoon for her own sake, and she herself doesn't want to contact the person she doesn't want to contact, because she also knows that contacting her is useless and will make her
I feel sick.
The coffee shop is by the river, with gentle breeze, weeping willows, just the right amount of sunshine and the rich aroma of coffee, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Sophie recognized Anxi instantly, even though Anxi was wearing sunglasses.
That face was so handsome that it was unforgettable. He seemed to stand out from the crowd, not to mention that there were only a few people in the cafe at this location.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"Are you crazy?" Sophie came over and chose to sit next to Anxi in order to lower her voice and speak. "Now you still dare to sit here openly?"
"Why don't you dare? No one has seen my face," Anxi smiled. "People who have seen my face and can threaten me are either dead or can't remember."
"Can't remember?" Sophie was stunned, "Are you kidding me? How could you not remember your face?"
"I don't think there's anything special about my face, it's just ordinary." Anxi made a joke that Sophie didn't understand.
Anxi is now becoming more and more proficient in switching between entries. After constant attempts and experiments and analysis, he has also been able to play with the character entry of [White·Mediocre] - he
After the switch was made in front of Brian, Brian was completely stunned.
A face that is impossible to forget after seeing it suddenly gives people a feeling of "just that", "unremarkable", and "can't remember it at all". This is the first time for even the experienced Brian
meet.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Anxi didn't expect Sophie to understand his joke. This kind of joke was just boring and just looking for some fun to entertain herself. Unless she could understand,
That would surprise or even shock him...
"According to our bet, you need to become the chief of the Paris Police Department."
"...This is impossible," Sophie said weakly, "There is no way I can become..."
"You just need to wait obediently." Anxi interrupted her with a wave of her hand.
"Why?" Sophie was completely confused, "Why do you have to be so entangled in this...impossible thing?"
"Because I want to have some fun." Anxi replied.
"Please tell the truth." Sophie frowned.
"Well, because I need someone in power who is recognized by me and has a sense of justice. This will facilitate me to do some things in the future." Anxi said.
"So that's it...I won't do anything illegal for you. This is not within the scope of the bet!" Sophie thought thoughtfully and then reacted, "Even if I fail to become the police chief, I won't do anything illegal.
Same!"
"Really? Just like what I did last night, it won't work either?" Anxi asked, thinking that no one would believe the truth in this day and age.
"...Such a thing...you can tell me directly and I can take official measures to resolve it." Sophie hesitated and said.
"hehe……"
Anxi chuckled twice, shook his head, took off his sunglasses, and stared at Sophie like a god in the sun, making Sophie couldn't help but get out of the way.
"You hesitated," Anxi said softly, "Why did you hesitate?"
"...I didn't." Regardless of whether there is or not, the woman will definitely deny it at this time.
"Because of the bet, the video I showed you before, and the statements you saw from the news and reports later." Anxi ignored Sophie's harsh words and looked at her, her eyes as if they could read minds.
Narrate.
"Sophie King, you are not a stupid woman. On the contrary, you are very smart, but being too smart makes you isolate some things that you can originally recognize, because you understand that you are unable to change."
Anxi tapped the table, took a sip of coffee, frowned slightly, put it down, picked up the tweezers and put the sugar cubes in it, and after adding it, picked up a small spoon.
"But this won't work. If you don't change, you will be like this sugar cube, either assimilated or digested."
Sophie stared blankly at Anxi's hand stirring the coffee, but felt that Anxi's words seemed to speak to her heart... In fact, she had a vague feeling like this, but she didn't know how long she could hold on, and there was no way.
Under the circumstances, I chose to bury my head in the sand like an ostrich.
"You should have known the moment you saw the report that there are not many clean people in the entire police station, including newspapers, TV stations, and high-ranking officials standing behind human traffickers..."
Anxi took a sip of coffee and relaxed her brows with satisfaction.
"So, you really don't have any intention of changing it?"
At this moment, Sophie Jin only felt that Anxi was like the devil in the legendary hell. He would pretend to look good and speak words that penetrate people's hearts, and would also give the most exciting conditions...just to sign a contract.
"What should I do?" Sophie asked.
If Anxi is really a devil, then Sophie will admit it.
At least, Anxi is more like a human being compared to the police, reporters, and senior officials who are complicit in human traffickers and scum.
