Alien paradise

"When I was desperate, I met a messenger who called himself Paradise. He said he could help me... or that he could fulfill my wish." Chaoyang looked at the mask, as if he was caught in a long memory. , "If I had no worries about food and clothing, I would definitely not believe this nonsense that sounds like a liar, but for a person who is about to drown, I am not willing to miss even a straw."

"So I asked him for help, without reservation. As a result, I got a new life, no longer had to worry about food and drink, and even had some money left to help the poor. It can be said that without paradise, I would not be where I am now. Everything, this is also the origin of the name of the foundation. After I heard that the New World needed manpower to develop, I chose Brilliant Castle as my first stop. As you can see, the Gate of Destiny operated very smoothly. And the effect of the new drug is indeed outstanding.”

"The most important thing is that I did not open the Gate of Destiny just to make money. The pricing of medicines also takes great care of the poor. In the next step of promoting the plan, I plan to allow everyone in this city to have access to medical care, and I will definitely I can afford the expense! I am not a good person, I just want to fulfill the agreement with the paradise... However, at this time, there are people who want to destroy the situation that Destiny Gate has finally created and drag everyone back into the smelly world. Gutter, then it’s clear what I can do…ask them to help me one more time.”

Chaoyang slowly told the "story" he had made up a long time ago.

That's right, he had long expected that the City Guards would find the pharmaceutical company, so he only needed to take out the Gate of Destiny and the Temple.

As a defenseless pharmaceutical owner, what's wrong with him asking for help when he's threatened?

"..." Sandra picked up the mask, her face ashen, "According to my method, you will not be threatened..."

"What about the church? Don't the wishes of the nuns deserve to be respected?" Chaoyang asked, "Indeed, you may not care about their treatment, just like you don't care about the miners who were thrown into the church to die. Same. These people died not because of anything else, but because of the malicious embezzlement by Lesheng Pharmaceuticals designated by the four major companies. The medical supplies provided to the church were all low-quality junk, which led to the high mortality rate of patients in the church. .These are the murderers who cause death!"

Sandra couldn't answer the question for a while.

However, Chaoyang can also understand that the laws of this era are still very imperfect, and security work is limited to obvious direct crimes such as robbery and murder. As for indirect deaths caused by medical defects and other reasons, as long as the death does not happen to a noble, calling the police is of no use.

"So I can neither accept your proposal nor wait until the truth of the case comes to light. I only know that if we don't take action as soon as possible, the company and the church will be destroyed by the disputes of public opinion." Chaoyang took a sip of water with regret, " If you still have any questions, you might as well go and see the Paradise Messenger in person, he may give you a satisfactory answer."

"He wants to see me?" Sandra asked in surprise.

"Why not? If you encounter trouble that is difficult to solve, I think he will definitely lend a helping hand to you. Of course...as long as you can afford the price."

"Can I ask, what did you pay for?"

"For the rest of my life." Chaoyang deliberately said in a pious tone, "I hope to build a paradise in this world so that everyone can enjoy a life full of hope. I know this goal is very far away, but it is better to make a decision than to start. It’s better to stay.”

Sandra stared at him, unable to tell the truth from the lie.

After a long silence, she said, "I hope so. How should I see him? The messenger from paradise you mentioned."

Chaoyang pointed to the mask on the table.

"Today at dusk, when the sun sinks below the horizon, at the top of the Southwest Observation Tower, as long as you go there wearing this mask, there is a high probability that you will be able to see him."

He paused and then continued, "Actually, it was me who was going to see him, to express my gratitude to Paradise. But I think he wouldn't mind meeting a new confused person."

confused? Are you kidding? I came to find him to question him!

Sandra opened her mouth, but couldn't say what she was thinking.

She finally picked up the mask and left the room without looking back.

"You really took the responsibility away." As soon as the commander left, Elodie poked her head in from outside the house, "Do you think she will believe what the other one said?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Now there is a real evil god in the city, which will keep her busy for a while. If she is willing to believe us, Paradise will have one more helper; if she doesn't believe it, she will just continue to play hiding games with the city guards. It’s not much different from now, as long as she doesn’t bring trouble to the Holy Church and the pharmaceutical company.”

"Then why don't you see her immediately and wait until night? Isn't it better to strike while the iron is hot?"

"Because I've been busy all night and want to get off work." Chaoyang picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. "Even the owner of the paradise has to go to bed first."

…

Sandra spent the whole day restless. She first returned to the eastern suburbs camp to deal with the siege of reporters. She said that a serious cult incident occurred here last night and hoped that residents would not trespass on the cordon and approach the camp area. Then he rushed to the lord's mansion and reported to the lord the attack on the Black Steel Company.

Earl Li Qiang was also a little surprised, "Are you sure this matter has something to do with the cultists? What did the priests of the Shenji Cult say?"

Sandra thought for a while, but in the end she didn't reveal anything about the paradise. "She thinks... Black Steel Company has huge suspicions."

"That's right..." the Earl showed a thoughtful expression, "They pay a lot of taxes..."

Sandra wanted to add a few more words. The lord had already made a decision, "Then confiscate the entire Black Steel assets to make up for the losses. Of course, this must be supported by evidence, do you understand?"

She immediately understood what the other party meant.

Just like the last crackdown on rebel miners...if no evidence is found, evidence will be produced.

"..." Sandra lowered her head, "Then what if there are really cultists hiding among them, and nobles are also involved?"

The reason why the Big Four companies can become the Big Four companies is definitely inseparable from the influx of capital. If something is really found out, it is difficult to say that this is just the behavior of the company boss.

That's what she's worried about.

Li Qian looked at her for a moment, then suddenly changed his expression, and his eyes were no longer as cold as before, "You seem to have some misunderstandings about me."

"No...sir..."

"If we don't stop the miners' riots, they will definitely harm the citizens who normally live here, so putting the cult problem on them can not only give a reasonable explanation to the whole incident, but also appease people's hearts." He put down his pen. , stood up and left the desk, "Let me ask you... Your Excellency, Commander, what is the most important thing to Glory Castle?"

"...it's stable." Sandra replied.

"Yes, stability. Without a stable society, there will be no prosperity. People need an answer. They don't like to wait in panic, and businessmen don't want to invest in an environment with an uncertain future. This matter is essentially the same, If, as the priestess said, the cultists have surfaced, then we must fight back with thunderous force. No matter whether it is the four major companies or the nobles who support it, I will not show mercy. Because cults are always the biggest enemy of stability. .”

Li Qian walked up to the commander and patted her on the shoulder, "Just go ahead and do it, I will support you."
