Chapter 283 Gossip (4000)
The sky is still covered with dark clouds outside the window, and the air is still stuffy and depressing, making people feel very unhappy.
However, all this is not a big deal for Allen.
On this not long morning, although Allen had hardly left the new residence of his aunt and his parents, and had just played with two little guys Arthur and Dinah, Allen was having a lot of fun.
After all, it has been a long time since he joined the executive department.
What he joined the executive department? Of course, a large part of it is to give himself enough self-protection, but to some extent, he is also for the safety of his relatives.
He has lost his parents and does not want to lose his only relatives anymore.
Time passed slowly, and the weather outside the wall did not show any signs of it, but the clocks inside the house told the people in the room time.
"Okay, it's already noon. Let's go find your uncle."
The aunt glanced at Alan, who was holding Dinah high, and greeted with a smile.
After hearing this, Allen nodded in agreement, and then put down the little guy in his hand who was shouting "Fly, fly."
Arthur, who had been waiting aside for a long time and was about to wait for the treatment of "Flying Sky", suddenly turned bitter after hearing this, and looked at Alan with resentful eyes.
Allen laughed in his heart, but did not express his opinion. He just pretended not to see anything and helped the aunt sort out the messy room.
"Okay, let's go."
After almost the same cleaning, the few people changed their clothes and went out together, walking towards the place where Alan's uncle worked.
...
After the few of them had lunch together, the aunt knew that the father and the other two had not seen each other for a long time, so they must have had a lot to say, so they took the two little guys back for lunch break with them very tactfully.
Although the Public Security Bureau is large, there are really not many useless places. Therefore, Alan's uncle didn't work much, but just took Alan back to his office.
Today is the day when Allen's uncle is on duty, so after the others have eaten, so the rest of the office are either having lunch or returning to the dormitory to rest after lunch. Therefore, the office is extremely empty and quiet at this time.
After the two walked in, they did not exchange greetings. They each took a chair and sat down in a very tacit understanding.
However, all the preparations were made, but they were not ready for communication.
"Have you finished your business recently?" After a while of silence, Hank Seulias looked at Allen and spoke.
"Well, I'm done. If nothing happens, there should be nothing happening lately." Allen nodded obediently and answered seriously.
Then, the two fell into an awkward silence again.
To be honest, although Allen's communication skills are not as good as saying people to people, they can be regarded as being eloquent and not being an introverted person.
If he was any other acquaintance, he could talk to the other party very naturally. Even if he was a stranger, he could chat with the other party for a few words, and then either hit it off at first sight or shut up his mouth with tactfulness.
But for some reason, he didn't know how to speak up when facing the uncle and the man who once made up for the role of his father in his life.
It seems that all the eloquent and eloquent things in the past have disappeared at this moment.
There were warm currents in my heart, but I still didn't know how to speak.
Allen's head was unconsciously lowered and did not look directly into Hank's eyes, so he didn't know that Hank was actually in a dilemma similar to him at this time.
Before the incident at Abyss Night, Hank was the one who could say the most in their area.
Of course, they are not gangsters like those guys in the east of Gria City, nor are they gangsters.
Just because Hank has a great reputation, everyone is convinced of Hank. If there is any dispute and conflict, they are willing to ask him to help mediate.
Therefore, Hank can be regarded as a "celebrity" in their area.
Hank was able to get to this point because he was upright and fair in his work. On the one hand, he was a soldier. On the other hand, he was a good communication ability and ability to handle things. He often made a fair plan and convinced both sides.
And being able to do this is essential.
Therefore, Hank is naturally not the kind of taciturn man.
If he was really that kind of person, he would never have been a journalist or an editor-in-chief.
Logically speaking, two such people will never be able to end up in such a situation.
But this is true. The two of them didn't say a word, and the air around them seemed to have frozen.
Hank subconsciously took out the cigarette, but when he saw Alan, he still took it back.
Even though Alan, who was solemnly wearing a long knife at this time, looked more like an adult, in his heart, Alan was still the little guy who lost his mind in the heavy rain.
"Some days ago, there was a theft case in the south of the city, and the head of the household lost about 20 Kimptons." Suddenly, Hank said.
Allen couldn't help but concentrate and began to listen carefully to his uncle's words, but he was a little confused, not knowing why the other party talked about this case.
"I am a clerk, so I didn't come to the scene, but I also knew a lot from the front-line police officers."
"There was no trace of thieves entering the door at the scene, even if it was small."
"It's like those things disappeared out of thin air."
"It's like a ghost stole those things."
When the uncle said this, he couldn't help but look up at Allen. The moment he lowered his head, his eyes swept past the long sword in Allen's hand again.
"But this case did not bother us for long, not because the case was solved, but because the case was transferred to a department with higher authority."
When Allen heard this, he raised his head quietly, without saying anything, just looking at him.
Hank lowered his head, avoided Allen's eyes, and just picked up the water cup he placed aside, lowered his head and smacked the tea that was no longer warm.
"Uncle, I want to know why you suddenly talked about this to me."
"You know, I wanted to confess this to you at the beginning, but you refused, but why do you reiterate it in this way now?"
Alan asked bluntly without any intention of concealing it.
Hank raised his head and gently placed the water cup in his hand on the table, his eyes slightly confused, "At the beginning, I thought you had just joined some secret department of the empire. Although it was dangerous, I believe you could take good care of yourself."
"You are Roy's kid, and I believe in your talent and potential."
Although my uncle's words were calm, I could hear the faint pride and pride in it.
"But what has happened recently is telling me that this world is not as simple as I imagined, and I have never truly recognized the reality of this world."
However, the next moment, my uncle's tone became a little confused and a little confused.
"I don't know what's going on in this world, nor do I know what's going on in this world. I once thought I could protect you three brothers and sisters to grow up safely."
"Even if you don't know when you made your own choice, I feel that I can provide you with a stable and safe home."
"I don't agree with the path you chose, but I won't object because I know it's your decision."
"But now, the world seems to have changed in an instant, becoming something I am not familiar with, which makes me a little overwhelmed."
"Faced with enemies and monsters, I can kill them with a hunting gun, but facing those unknown existences, I don't know what to do."
Allen listened quietly to his uncle's somewhat inverted and abnormal words, and did not rush to speak, but just felt the depression and discomfort in his heart.
This strong man, this man who broke through the rain of bullets, once thought that he had made all preparations to protect his family.
However, in this era of great changes and in this era of earth-shaking changes, he had already faintly felt this torrent, but he was a little at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the unknown future.
Hank Seulias, who is able to come back from a dangerous battlefield and be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, is definitely not a muscular reckless man.
His intelligence is not superb, but it is also enough to be at the upper and lower level.
What's more, the rich and colorful life experiences gave him wisdom far beyond ordinary people.
Even though he didn't know the fact that the demon tide was resurrected and the extraordinary era that was about to be revived, he still relied on his ultimate sense of smell to detect something wrong from a slightly strange case.
To be honest, Allen once considered where his initial character template was such a superior one, but after thinking about it, he could only think that his parents had excellent bloodlines.
This is especially true after learning about his father's great achievements back then.
However, at this moment, Allen couldn't help but wonder if his template was so powerful, would it be because of the inheritance of the Seurias family's bloodline?
After all, his father was one of the ten great mages of the empire and the youngest to break the record.
Although his uncle looked ordinary, he felt that the other party was not simple just from his keen sense of smell about this matter.
As the uncle talked, Alan listened quietly.
At some point, my uncle's words suddenly stopped. After a while, he squirmed his lips, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he just murmured.
"I'm not actually afraid of the unknown future, I'm just afraid of your safety."
The voice of this sentence was extremely weak, but Allen could hear it clearly without missing the slightest.
Moreover, he also knew who the "you" in the Bullet uncle's words meant.
"Uncle, you have protected me for so long. Now it's my turn to protect you."
Looking at the uncle who was a little emotional, Allen spoke slowly. Although his tone was very plain, he had a convincing spirit.
"Your job is to deal with these things, so you must be safer."
The eldest uncle did not answer immediately, and after a while, he spoke in silence.
"Um."
"These things only appeared now, and they were there a long time ago."
"It's been a long time ago, but it's not as much as it is now."
"Did your father do these tasks?"
In the brief conversation, Allen subconsciously nodded and replied, but in the end he swallowed the words he said with his first-class reflex ability.
"Huh?" Allen suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and just looked at his uncle in confusion.
"You don't have to hide it. Although Roy was named a research institution in the Empire, he grew up with me. How could I not find some strange things about him?"
"Of course, this is also because he didn't want to hide it from me, otherwise I wouldn't have found these clues."
The eldest uncle glanced at Allen as if he knew what he was thinking.
"I knew there must be something wrong with Roy's death, but I couldn't find it out."
"I don't have the ability to avenge him, but I can raise his only bloodline to man."
"To be honest, after you rescued my aunt and me, I was very worried on the one hand, because I was afraid that you would follow your father's old path, so I could only send back a cold message."
"But on the other hand, I'm also very happy because it means you have the ability to avenge your father and the ability to protect yourself."
"I don't know if it's good or bad, but I'll support your choice no matter what."
"I don't know what your world looks like, but I think there are many rules that should be universal."
"So, promise me, don't take the initiative to touch on your father's past until you are not sure enough, okay?"
After saying that, the eldest uncle looked at Allen's pupils and spoke sincerely.
"Okay." Allen nodded solemnly, his expression was extremely serious.
It was not until this time that he realized that this was the purpose of the eldest uncle.
Everything he did and said before was for these final words. I hope Alan will not be controlled by hatred and do things that make him regret.
Perhaps, my uncle is indeed worried about the future world, and this changing era.
But, more, he was still worried that Alan was beyond his protection ability.
After all, these unknowns and these weirdness may be enough to make people fear and worry, but they cannot truly crush a veteran who has survived for many battles.
Therefore, he was more worried about the things contained in these mutation events.
That's why my uncle has so much to do with Allen today.
Alan also understood the other party's concerns and concerns, so he gave his own answer very seriously, even though he knew much more than his uncle.
