The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Joyce wanted to reply that I am not a master, but when the words came to her lips, she could not say them out.

Now he is a noble nobleman. Even in his previous life, he lived in a good era and was also considered wealthy. Although he had seen the poorest people at the bottom through various channels...how could he compare it with the situation he saw with his own eyes?

.

Although he had expected it in his heart, what he saw in front of him still made him silent. The sympathy and pity he felt because of this could only show that he was still a human being.

"Hello, are you working?" Joyce replied, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

Sally said softly "Hmm" and explained:

"My leg is broken and I can't do other jobs, I can only do simple jobs."

Joyce said softly: "I know what you are going through, so I plan to provide some help. Don't you want those children who have the same experience as you to also be free?"

"Really?" There was a light in Sally's eyes. What this light meant, Joyce didn't understand, or dared not understand.

Looking at her brother Barron, who nodded in confirmation, Sally smiled, her eyebrows curled into a crescent moon.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

Joyce interrupted the little girl's frequent thanks, turned around and looked around, and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him. When he glanced over, they all ran away in fear. Only two or three years old

Yes, the ignorant child still dared to look at him, his eyes full of curiosity.

Sighing, he said: "Let's go, let's find another place to talk in detail."

Former adventurer Pablo was happy that he had found a like-minded helper, and continued:

"There is a small shop nearby, where you can have something to eat and chat while eating..."

After getting Joyce's affirmative signal, he said to Barron: "Go, carry your sister on your back."

"Thank you, sir."

Sally added, although Joyce had already turned around and left the dangerous building.

…………

"This is a colony."

Mr. Hunter, who followed behind without saying a word and watched the whole process, reminded him aloud.

"I know."

Joyce replied, he looked up and saw the white clouds that were constantly drifting and said:

"But the sun is still warm and the sky is still blue."

…………

The small shop that former adventurer Pablo was talking about was a cafe. Of course, the environment was not that good. It was far inferior to the cafes on Enmatt Street, and it couldn't be compared with the coffee brewed by the maid herself.

Joyce just took a sip and put the coffee cup on the table.

This shop sells everything. Joyce ordered white bread, spaghetti bolognese, and soup. He saw the brothers Barron and Sally tasting these foods carefully... In their eyes, such rich food could not be eaten.

Once you pass it once, there will be no next chance, so you eat very seriously.

Joyce turned his gaze to the window and looked at the zombie-like crowd. He waited for the two children to finish eating and then asked:

"Are you full?"

"I'm full, thank you sir."

Barron gave the last mouthful of broth to Sally and spoke quickly. He even wanted to stand up and bow, but Joyce stopped him.

He continued: "Then let's talk about the gang situation."

Sally burped and began to tell:

"That day I went to help Aunt Maura wash clothes. On the way home, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself in a dark basement. A particularly vicious man broke my legs with a stick.

Then teach me how to beg..."

"Then I was thrown into a larger basement. There were many children about my age in there. Some of them had limb disabilities, some were blind and deaf, and they were all caught there."

"We children are dragged to different places to beg every day. We have to get a certain amount of money every day, otherwise there will be no food... Even if we get money, we only have a little food. If we are found hiding money, we will be beaten alive.

I have only seen death twice, both times he was beaten to death in front of me..."

Sally had never read a book, and her speech was disorganized. She always said something here and there. The above content was extracted by Joyce himself.

Although the little girl's words were simple, she unexpectedly showed compassion for children in the same situation... It is hard to imagine that such a miserable and pitiful girl would show sympathy to the weaker ones.

Maybe it was because of his young age, or maybe it was because of his brother. It was Barron who picked up Sally and prevented her from lying on the street, which made her feel grateful...and kindness is contagious.

"How many people are there in that gang?" Joyce asked.

Sally thought for a while and counted on her fingers:

"One, two, three..."

Realizing that he had asked the wrong question, Joyce asked again:

"Do you know where you are locked up every day?"

Before Sally could answer, former adventurer Pablo answered: "I know this question better."

"I have followed the process of gang members who would take all the children after nine o'clock at night, take them to a basement three blocks away, and then leave people to guard them... and then arrange the children at six o'clock every morning

Go to different places and continue begging.”

Skilled, cruel, almost like a complete industrial chain... Joyce commented in his heart, and then said:

"In other words, only late at night can we catch them all and rescue all the children."

"Master, are you going to ask Cassie and the others?" Sally asked, raising her head as much as she could and looking at Joyce.

Cassie was probably a friend she made after being kidnapped... Joyce nodded: "Yes, don't you want those children to be free like you?"

"I think so," said Sally.

Joyce nodded with a smile, and then said to the former adventurer:

"Meet here at eight o'clock in the evening, you will lead the way."

Pablo asked in surprise: "Are we going to take action today? And there are only two...three of us!"

"I understand your feelings, because I was the same as you when I first heard this story, but it is precisely because of this that we should be cautious and it is best to find a few more helpers, otherwise it is no different from dying, and those

The child may never be free again."

"I'll find him, just lead the way." Joyce said calmly. Perhaps it was his strong self-confidence that kept the former adventurer from saying any more.

"You send them both back. I'm leaving first. See you in the evening."

After Joyce finished speaking, he paid and left.

…………

Returning to the dilapidated and dangerous building and sitting on the familiar bed, Sally recalled what had just happened and asked softly:

"Brother, who are those gentlemen?"

Barron was silent for a while before replying:

"They are good people and heroes."

"Brother is also a hero." Sally said.
