American Celestial Master

Chapter 180, Believe in Magic
The next night, Fidel took Sean and a teenage girl to the river. The girl was very thin and looked like a reed stick. She had no flesh at all on her face and was almost a face. A skeleton wrapped in skin, its hair matted like tumbleweeds in the desert.

In the United States, even in this era of big economic problems, when a person shows such a state, it is still mostly not because of hunger, but because of drug abuse.Drug abuse was a social problem long before shipping became a problem.As the economy deteriorates, drug abuse worsens.On the other hand, perhaps the government's power has been restrained by other more important things, so both the federal government and state governments have invested less and less in the "war against drug abuse". There is a growing tendency to liberalize the ban on "less harmful recreational drugs" so that poor addicts are forced to use cheaper, more harmful drugs such as "Crocodile" or "Bath". salt” and drugs like “fentanyl.”

Of course, there are some conspiracy theorists who believe that this is because the government and the "government behind the government" are worried that the deterioration of the economy will lead to people's revolution, so they deliberately relaxed the control of such drugs.As long as people are addicted to such drugs, no one will have the energy to make any kind of revolution.This argument can also be regarded as an upgraded version of the "nipple music" theory. Compared with this type of drugs, those nipple music programs such as TV movies, silly music programs, etc. are really weak and not worth mentioning.

Sean rang the bell. After a while, there was a splash of water on the river, and the ghost floated up again.

"Murphy, I found out, your name is Murphy." Fidel said, "I brought your daughter here, but as you can see, her condition is not very good."

The ghost was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the girl.

"Jenny, how did you become like this? Which bastard made you touch that thing? I'm going to kill him!" The ghost roared.

"Murphy, calm down, you can't leave the river now." Fidel said, "And now that I have found her, you should believe me, I still have some ways to help her. As for leading her to touch that The person who made the thing is already dead."

"Thank you." Murphy said, "Why didn't she speak, and how did that bastard die?"

"Murphy, you know that some drugs are very harmful to the human body, especially the brain." Fidel said, "Due to the influence of these drugs, she had some mental problems. She also temporarily lost the ability to speak. But we have You don’t have to worry about the cost of treatment. As for the cost of treatment, I know you don’t have medical insurance now, but if you participate in our scientific research project, you are considered our employee. If you don’t object, this will be considered as our payment. It's part of the benefits you provide. As for how that bastard died? Of course he died from overdosing on medicine. In fact, don't blame Jenny. After you die, she has to support herself. She doesn't have medical insurance when she gets sick. Being able to rely on various painkillers and the like to hold on, it’s hard not to touch such things.”

"Is it really curable? I heard this..." Murphy asked hesitantly.

"There is really no good solution to this problem from a medical perspective. Especially since her condition is already so bad. But Murphy, you have to know that we don't only have medical methods. At this time, you have to believe in magic.

We brought her to see you and then took her back for treatment.Our professionals have checked her condition, and we believe that after a week or so of treatment, her condition will improve significantly, and maybe she can become your original priestess in the future. "

Having said this, Fidel paused again, then pointed at Sean and said: "Murphy, I mentioned to you yesterday that we will send a person to teach you some of the most basic knowledge and guide you how to Work with us.”

"Is that him?" Murphy said.

"Yes, he is an assistant teacher in our school and a mage with extraordinary power. He will be responsible for teaching you some of the most basic knowledge." Fidel pointed at Sean and said. "Hello, I'm Sean. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. For the sake of our future cooperation, can I ask you some questions?"

"Okay." Murphy said.

"Now that you are busy with normal things, I will take Jenny back first." Fidel said, "Okay, goodbye. Don't worry, in a week, we will be able to show you a brand-new Jenny." , again, you have to believe in magic."

Fidel took Jenny back.Murphy craned his neck to look at Jenny, who was following Fidel silently. It wasn't until he saw them all getting into a car and the door was closed that he turned around and said to Sean: "Let's get started. .”

"Okay, but before we start, I need to find out how much knowledge you still remember now. I know that you have received a middle school education before, and we also found the grades you completed in middle school, although we couldn't find the exams you wrote that year. Papers - these things have long been disposed of as waste. However, we also took some of the test questions for your exam back then. Judging from the results at that time, your study was pretty good. But after all, it has been many years. And a lot of things happened in the meantime. Well, can you still read the newspaper now?"

"I haven't tried it," Murphy said. "Do you have a newspaper here?"

"No, but you can watch the news on my tablet," Sean said.

Mo Fei lowered his head and glanced a few times, and then said: "I might have to trouble you, I can't understand more than half of this. By the way, you guys are really quick to check things. In just one day, I can't even read." You have all checked the results."

Sean said: "We are investigating quickly because we have magic. Just like Principal Fidel said just now, you have to believe in magic."

"So do you have a magic that can directly transmit knowledge to people?" Murphy asked.

"This... this really doesn't exist. I heard that they are studying language proficiency, but it is only spoken language and cannot be used for literacy, not to mention that the research has no results yet." Sean replied.

"Oh, this is absolutely possible. Okay, then where do we start learning?"

"What's this question? Let's do a few sets of test papers first, starting from elementary school..."
