Chapter 22 Black Cat(1/2)

Investigating the truth about the Godly War is what every member of the Afterglow team wants to do.

As a new member of theirs, Morrison has not been shortlisted yet. However, they still say they should work together.

Morrison didn't know how simple the commission he was about to face was relative to the God War.

But this time the commissioning task was also a big test for Morrison.

Joseph glanced at Morrison and said to him: "The information is on the bookshelf behind me. As for the information you said to be entrusted, you will find it yourself. I believe you can find it."

On the other hand, Morrison heard this sentence a little strange. Joseph seemed to be encouraging him.

Haha, Morrison smiled bitterly on his own, he had no choice.

That's it.

Morrison thought so hard in his heart.

"Linna and I will stay here to read the materials. I still have something to do now, so I won't stay here. Of course, remember, don't damage the things in the Sunset Group."

It seemed like a reminder of Morrison, but it seemed like it was not a reminder of Morrison. It seemed like it was a reminder of Lina.

Indeed, Joseph is not just to remind Morrison, but Lina is also here.

To be honest, Joseph doesn't understand why Lina has such a stiff relationship with Morrison.

Fortunately, Joseph looked at Lina with his sharp eyes.

Lina could only nod her head impatiently.

Seeing this, Joseph barely let go of his heart.

He believed that Lina might be a little too much, but she would never do anything too much to Morrison.

Joseph just left the words, but he left the Yuehui group.

Now, Lina looked at Morrison.

Morrison hurriedly turned his gaze to the other side, not letting the two people meet.

"Western District, let's talk about things in the cafe. Since we did the commission this time, I won't do anything to you. Just complete it well."

The more Lina spoke, the lower the voice became. She didn't dare to believe that she had surrendered with a first-level psychic.

Even if the other party is a craftsman, it will not happen.

And Morrison nodded.

Morrison hasn't been to the cafe yet. Naturally, there will be some freshness.

However, before leaving, Morrison and Lina did not forget to bring paper, pen and ink.

In this world, fountain pens have not appeared, only quill pens and some rough paper.

Papermaking came from the distant East, and papermaking has brought the cultural development of the mainland to a new level.

This time, instead of walking past like last time, Morrison hired a carriage.

Joseph told him that the consumption of the entrusted task can be reimbursed to the Holy Spirit without paying it for himself.

Therefore, Morrison dared to hire a carriage.

When Morrison sat in the comfortable carriage, he couldn't help but sigh

"The team leader's ability is really good."

Lina heard the sound from Morrison and looked at him curiously.

She didn't hear clearly what Morrison was saying.

Morrison's voice was very quiet.

"Nothing." Morrison answered randomly. Seeing that he didn't answer seriously, Lina didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the two of them arrived in the West End.

The last time Morrison came to the West End was to train his fighting skills.

"I just don't come for a day, I just come in a different identity, haha." Morrison whispered. He had no problem with saying this.

I came before to learn fighting skills from Andrew. Although I am not proficient yet, Andrew told him that Morrison does not need to come here today.

Coincidentally, Morrison received another commissioned task from the West End.

This time when we came to the West End, Morrison was not as relaxed as last time.

The difficulty of a commission that Joseph thought was difficult could not be too simple.

Morrison didn't know what clues would be gained this time.

They saw a coffee shop and the two walked slowly in.

The decoration style of this coffee shop is very good, and you can hear classical music as soon as you enter the door. This coffee shop is a very good coffee shop in the West District. Of course, the consumption will not be cheaper.

"Do you two need something to drink?" a waiter said to Morrison and the others with a smile.

A smile can make people feel better. Morrison does not deny this. When he saw the waiter's smile, his nervousness was a little relaxed.

"Two cups of coffee, one cup with milk, one cup..." said Morrison, who had forgotten about Lina.

At first, Lina was still a little dementia, but soon Lina recovered.

Lina said to the waiter: "A cup of coffee, add caramel, remember to put more, I can't bear it."

The waiter nodded.

"A total of three silver pounds."

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Morrison took out his pocket and looked at Lina helplessly.

Lina looked at him with disdain and took out three silver pounds from her pocket.

In this world, coffee is not affordable for everyone. Just two cups of coffee may be the weekly salary of the poor.

The poor family is calculated based on four people, and if you save money a week, you only need four silver pounds.

Morrison and the others just ordered a drink that could not be too full, which cost the poor about a week.

The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is so obvious.

The poor will also think about change, but in today's society, under the erosion of aristocrats and capital, relying solely on the power of the poor, we cannot cause too much storm.

After all, once they protest, they are at risk of unemployment, hunger, and even death.

During the period from 125 to 176 of the New Yuan calendar, the poor people's begging.

None of the nobles and capital even used his own power.

Because the poor are too poor and the food supply is not in place, they collapse from the inside.

"Do you think the poor people in this world still have a chance to change themselves?" Morrison took advantage of the time he was waiting for coffee and looked at a beggar outside the window.

Lina was very surprised when she heard Morrison ask this question.

"It is unlikely. Even their descendants are still poor. In the eyes of the kingdom, the poor are just a burden to lower the national economic average. In the eyes of capital, they are a group of people with great value. They do not have to spend too much interests to make these people work diligently and dare not have any complaints. When capital sees the surplus value of these poor people being squeezed out, they will throw them away like garbage."

"They have almost no way out."

Lina talked about this topic, and it was also very heavy.

Although Lina's temper is a little irritable, she is indeed a very kind person.

The two looked at each other and did not speak.

Soon, coffee came to Morrison and the others.

Morrison took a sip of coffee lightly, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Even if they care about the poor now, they cannot make fundamental changes. What's the use of it?

"Tell me, the situation of this entrusted task." Lina asked Morrison. "We cannot fight unprepared wars. This is unrealistic and does not benefit us."

Morrison nodded, indicating that what she said was correct.

"I don't know what the situation is. When I went to take over the commissioned task before, the man didn't say anything to me." Morrison said helplessly.

This time, it was Lina's turn to be embarrassed.

Originally, Lina thought that Morrison had made sufficient preparations before accepting the commissioned task. Now it seems that this is not the case.

Lina looked at Morrison speechlessly and said to him: "Then how did you choose this entrusted task? Don't tell me that you chose him because you think he is simple."

Morrison's face turned red after a flash.

Nodded embarrassedly.

Lina widened her eyes, she couldn't believe that this would be something that a member of the Sunset Group did.

In Linna's mind, everyone in the Yuhui group has a very steady style, but they just met a freak, Morrison.

Fortunately, when Joseph was investigating this matter, he specifically told her about some things about this entrusted task.

Although Lina's memory is definitely not as good as Morrison, she still remembers some of the general details.

"Joseph talked to us about this commissioned mission, and he said that there is a very likely hidden behind this mission, as well as an abyss object."
