After hearing this, Rorschach took a deep breath, and then clenched the black scripture in his hand.
"She is a good and well-behaved child. She shouldn't continue to endure such pain. Let me see her off."
After some hesitation, Akatis nodded...
So the two went back to the room again, and Akatis knelt down in front of the little girl's bed again, held her hand, and comforted her softly:
"Xiao Ruixi, we have already thought of a way. Your illness will definitely get better, and the pain will disappear soon."
After hearing this, the little girl showed a cute and naughty smile on her face, then raised her little hand hard, stretched it towards Agatis' face, and asked softly:
"Mother Agatis, are you crying?"
"Don't cry~ Don't cry~ Didn't you teach me? Only bad kids cry, and bad kids don't have candies and desserts..."
"Mother Agartis, I am not crying, I am a good boy, I will have candy and desserts, and I will share them with you, so...don't cry~don't cry~"
As she was speaking, a white light descended, covering her petite body covered in bruises.
The little hand that wanted to wipe away Agartis' tears fell helplessly.
In the light, a well-behaved little girl appeared, wearing a gorgeous long dress decorated with various cute decorations, as delicate and lovely as a porcelain doll.
She looked down at her new clothes in surprise, reached out and touched her body, and then smiled happily and pleasantly.
Finally, with such a smile, he slowly disappeared into the light.
After the light dissipated, only the sobbing sounds of Akatis and Nido remained in the room, as well as the happy smiling little girl on the bed.
Luo Xia stood quietly by the side without saying a word, as quiet as a sculpture.
It wasn't until Agartes wiped away his tears and stood up again that he asked in a low voice:
"Who did it?"
He could have tied the little girl up to investigate the matter using the scripture's function of querying resumes.
If he was a transcendent or an investigator, he would probably do this, but ask after the fact.
But he was a pastor, a qualified, mature and professional pastor.
Agadis rubbed his red eyes vigorously, and replied in that choked up voice that hid sullenness:
"I've already used my contacts in the secret sect to investigate this matter, but there is no result yet..."
"As for herself, she may have experienced a very terrible experience, and she can't remember what happened. She only said that there was a continuous booming sound in her ears, and then it hurt so much..."
"She was found by scavengers in a rubbish dump near the train station...we took her back after the police passed and she gave her name and the orphanage...well, just yesterday night."
Rorschach nodded and replied:
"When the investigation has the result, tell me as soon as possible, um... it's best to let the secret religion side hurry up."
Akatis was slightly taken aback, and asked one more question:
"You are going to..."
"As I said before, I will see her off, not just a funeral."
Rorschach replied seriously.
........................
After leaving the small building, Akatis had to go to the orphanage, so he asked Nido to drive Rorschach back.
The little nun got her dream opportunity to be alone with Rorschach, but she didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere in the car extremely heavy.
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of Avia Church that she seemed to have made up her mind and asked:
"Priest Rorschach, I want to become a knight like Nota..."
"I'm stupid. I probably can't learn any magical arts. The only advantage I have is energy. Surely the knight route is more suitable for me?"
"Maybe in this way, I can protect the other younger sisters in the orphanage so that they won't encounter such a thing."
Luo Xia listened, nodded, and simply encouraged:
"Come on, the sword in the knight's hand is brandished to protect the weak."
After Rorschach returned to the church, he told Nota and the little milk cat about the previous experience.
Nota cried when she heard it, and the little milk cat also lowered its head and face, extremely sad.
"Woo~ Xiao Ruixi is so pitiful...Senior! You must punish these thugs!"
"Of course, the divine spells spoken by the priest are chanted to punish evil."
"This is our obligation and responsibility as priests."
Undertaker: Chapter 108 107. This is not quite right
At around 9 o'clock that night, Agartis came to Avia Church alone, holding a few strip-shaped telegrams in his hand, which were the preliminary information brought back to her by her colleagues in the secret religion.
She then read to Rorschach:
"The information was passed on to me from the Eighth Section of Investigation, which is the exclusive intelligence agency under the jurisdiction of the secret sect. It said that after Xiao Ruixi lost her parents for the second time, she was transferred to a temporary shelter by her neighbors, and then disappeared there. ..."
"According to the person in charge of the shelter, she didn't cry or make trouble. She just kept thinking that she wanted to come back to the orphanage quickly, so she escaped from the shelter and got lost on the road..."
"And the shelter is seriously understaffed, and it can't be managed. There are countless things like this kind of children running away. It's just that most of the children will be sent back by others, or run back by themselves. I didn't expect Xiao Ruixi to encounter such a thing... ..."
After hearing this, Luo Xia frowned slightly.
As a skilled pastor, he must know the orphan relief process now.
Generally speaking, after finding an orphan, it is definitely not put directly in the orphanage, but placed in this kind of temporary shelter first, and then try to find other guardians for the child through various channels. Will send the child to an orphanage.
This is indeed a very reasonable process, which reduces the embarrassment of being "orphaned". Many children were left by distant relatives, neighbors and colleagues in the shelter. These orphanages shared a considerable part of the pressure. It is a more reasonable use of social welfare resources.
But according to what Luo Xia learned from the newspapers on weekdays, the shelter advertised to recruit people every day. Obviously, it was in a state of busy affairs and insufficient manpower all year round. There were so many orphans in the city. Omissions are inevitable.
And children are indeed prone to accidents. Children with parents often encounter various accidents, let alone orphans in shelters...
So he has also seen several news about orphans getting lost and having accidents in newspapers and radio stations.
So objectively speaking, Xiao Ruixi's misfortune is actually similar to that of other orphans who sneaked out and ended up in accidents, but she encountered a vicious cult after she escaped...
Thinking of this, Luo Xia couldn't help shaking his head, and recalled the pitiful appearance of little Ruixi lying on the hospital bed, trying to make the adults feel at ease.
She is really a well-behaved, sensible, and distressing child, but it's a pity...
etc!It seems something is wrong...
Luo Xia suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly:
"Xiao Ruixi must be the kind of very likable child, right?"
Akatis nodded, and said with a sad face:
"Yes, many times I even think she is more sensible than Nido, she is the kind of child who cares about others, and the nuns in the orphanage also like her very much, that's why she was finally conditioned by that household. Nice couple to take away."
"What does she think of your orphanage? And how is her relationship with her second parents?"
Rorschach continued to ask.
Agartes then answered truthfully:
"When she came to our orphanage, she was still in her infancy. She probably liked the orphanage very much, right? Anyway, she told me many times that she would become a nun like Nido in the future, and then follow me every day. ..."
"When she was taken away by that couple, she cried a lot and was very reluctant to leave. In the end, Nido finally coaxed her to leave..."
"As for her being adopted by that couple for less than half a year, shouldn't there be enough time to cultivate her relationship?"
After hearing this, Luo Xia reached out and rubbed his chin, and continued to ask:
"Do you think she's the kind of kid who escapes from an asylum by herself?"
Akatis shook his head subconsciously, then suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes wide, and said eagerly:
"You're right! At first I thought she was in a hurry to come back, so she ran out of the shelter by herself, and an accident happened on the way..."
"But she has been very obedient since she was a child, and she is not that rebellious. Even if she wants to come back, she will definitely not choose to escape..."
"She didn't get lost outside, but was abducted in the shelter!"
Rorschach nodded, this is also what he thought was not quite right before.
Xiao Ruixi is not the kind of brat running around, and the shelter is understaffed, so it's understandable that he can't see the brats running around, but can't even watch the cult members who come in and kidnap people?Then there is a big problem!
"What is the origin of this shelter?"
Rorschach continued to ask.
"They belong to the 'Safeguarding the Future' charitable foundation...you may have heard of this foundation?"
Akatis quickly replied.
Rorschach nodded. He had indeed seen the name of this foundation several times in newspapers and on the radio.
But these are not good things, but bad things such as loopholes in the accounts, making money through charity performances, and exploiting child labor.
The typical upper beam is not right, which makes Luo Xia suspect that they might have elements of a cult?
The foundation responded by sending lawyers' letters to newspapers and radio stations...
By the way, I published another announcement, saying that my foundation has a big business, is busy with affairs, and has a large number of personnel. Omissions are inevitable. After that, management will be strengthened, personnel will be checked, and rectification will be standardized, and it will continue next time.
Afterwards, another journalist with a heart of justice and no fear of power planned to investigate deeply and reveal the truth to the world, but not long after, he was found to have committed suicide by being shot eight times in the back in his apartment...
The reason why this foundation is so powerful is that they are really big and successful. They are the largest and oldest orphanage foundation in the city. main source of funding for the hospital.
On the other hand, it is because they have an official background, receive subsidies, account for the budget, and are endorsed by the city council. The chairman himself is a member of the council, and the speaker and many councilors have false positions such as "honorary advisor" and "charity ambassador".
"Now that there are clear clues, things will be easy to handle."
Rorschach muttered something in a low voice, then asked again:
"Is there any other information?"
Akatis showed some hesitation on his face, lowered his voice again, and replied:
"The other party reminded me very vaguely, don't get too deep into this matter, and don't act rashly, let her investigate, let me wait for the news with peace of mind..."
After hearing this, Luo Xia tilted his head in puzzlement, and asked again:
"Is the person who provided the information reliable?"
Akatis nodded without hesitation.
"She is also a child who came out of an orphanage. I brought her up since she was a child, and she joined the secret religion investigation department under my recommendation. She must be reliable!"
Undertaker: Chapter 109 108. Is this really a shelter for orphans?
"You don't have to doubt her reliability. I trust her very much. Her reminder must be based on various considerations."
Agatha added.
Since Agartis believed the person who provided the information, Rorschach naturally chose to believe it too.
But in this way, the last cryptic reminder from the other party is even more intriguing...
If it were a Transcendent or an investigator like Deltina to handle the matter, he would definitely not simply wait for news, but give full play to his subjective initiative and collect clues from other directions.
But Rorschach is a priest, a priest, and he is not good at investigating and deciphering things.
So he can only do things that are in line with the status of a priest and a priest. He took out the map of the city of the oracle from the storage bag, and asked:
"Where is that shelter?"
"Huh? Here..."
Akatis pointed.
"Understood, then you go to the back garden to play with the little milk cat first, and wait for my news."
After Luo Xia finished speaking, he didn't explain anything to Agartis, so he quickly went to the basement, changed into the tuxedo outfit, put on the holy flame mask on his face, and then stretched out at the girl in red. Shot, invited:
"Come on~ let's go out for a stroll."
Since I'm not good at investigation, I have no choice but to get straight to the point.
So ten minutes later, Luo Xia stood on the telephone pole in the backyard of the shelter.
This place is located at the junction of the upper and lower urban areas, not far from the second city wall, and the overall area is not large. There are only two dormitory buildings, and the children are placed in it. More than a dozen people live in a room, and the conditions are similar to ordinary orphans. The hospital is almost the same.
