Lord of the Mysteries Side Story: An ordinary person's daily life (8)

The scene was so ordinary that Barton didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Although he felt vaguely familiar, he didn't think it was strange:

How can there be no familiarity with the scenes you see every day?

He moved his eyes and looked high into the sky, and saw the scarlet moon hanging quietly, shining with light, which made people feel involuntarily settled down.

At this moment, Patton seemed to get rid of the invisible burden, physically and mentally extremely relaxed, no longer the kind of panic, anxiety and irritability.

His spiritual intuition told him that Vernal was over and would no longer affect his life.

"Thank the Lord for the blessing of the storm." Barton immediately clenched his right and punched his left chest and whispered to himself.

Without that worry and tension, he only felt tired like a flood, surging out from the depths of his soul, drowning his brain, his limbs, and every cell of his body.

Barton could not help holding the back of his hand against his mouth and yawned, but there was a bit of a cozy smile on his face.

Instead of staying in his study, he turned and left here, went all the way back to his bedroom, took an enjoyable bath and drank a small glass of red wine.

That night, Barton stopped dreaming and slept soundly.

When he woke up in the morning, his spirit stretched and his joy surged, as if he had gained a new life.

Looking at his sleeping wife, Barton got up carefully, changed his clothes, and walked around the house.

He had never found his neighborhood so beautiful before:

The air is fresh, the environment is peaceful, the scenery is pleasant, even pedestrians are so educated.

This made Barton feel better and realized once again that Vernal's business was over and that he had returned to a normal and peaceful life.

In this mood, he went home and had breakfast with his wife and children.

In the process, he even told his wife jokes published in the newspaper to meet a small request of the children.

Seeing the smiles on his wife's and children's faces, Barton felt contented from the bottom of his heart.

Then, putting on his coat, hat and walking stick, he went out in a trolley bus and went all the way to the Roon Antiquities Collection and Conservation Foundation on the edge of the city.

Entering his office, Barton regained his old rhythm and was not busy with his work, but prepared black tea with some strange herbs for his family.

After leisurely reading the unsubscribed newspapers at home with black tea, he picked up the letters and documents he received and reviewed them in turn.

Such a process, such a rhythm, makes him feel extremely comfortable.

The only dissonance was that Barton was still a little worried about receiving another letter from Vernal.

However, this concern has not become a reality.

About a quarter of an hour later, his office door was knocked.

"Please come in." Barton picked up the cup and took a sip of black tea.

Pushing the door is the deputy director of the Compliance Department, the ordinary-looking, undistinctive, but cordial Pacheco. Dawn.

"did you sleep well last night?" Pacheco asked like a greeting standing at the door.

"very good." Barton didn't hide anything.

Pacheco nodded, smiled and said:

"it seems that you have really got rid of the influence of this matter."

Instead of talking about his "nightmare", Barton asked:

"what about you?"

"I slept well, too." Pacheco replied with a smile, "the police have completely taken over the matter. It is said that Vernar was found last night. Unfortunately, something seems to have happened to him."

"Poor man, may he have peace." Patton did not say that God bless him, because Vernal had turned his back on his belief in the "Lord of the Storm". If there was a "Blessing", it must be Lightning and Storm.

With that, thinking of Pacheco's previous help and the gracious gesture of the other party, Patton volunteered:

"shall we have lunch later?"

"is it your treat?" Pacheco said with a smile.

"of course, it's nice to meet a friend like you." Barton stood up and saluted in a gentlemanly manner.

Pacheco nodded gently and said:

"then I'll wait for your invitation in the compliance department.

"before 12:00?"

"No problem." In addition to being grateful to each other, Barton also felt that knowing the deputy director of the "Compliance Department" would be of great help to the future work.

Moreover, he believes that Pacheco should be like himself, in some ways better than the average person.

After watching Pacheco leave his office, Barton sat down again and exhaled silently and slowly.

As an ordinary person with a normal IQ, he could fully see that the Vernal affair was full of oddities, involving issues in the fields of occult and religion.

In addition, he is also interested in the division of the Tamara family, the secret history of the Quaternary and the details of what happened to Vernal.

But he knew that he could not dig deeper, and it was the greatest luck for an ordinary person to see that the part of the iceberg that surfaced did not die. if he wanted to find out what was going on under the water, he was bound to drown.

The archaeological experience in the past made Barton afraid to take risks, nor did he want to take risks.

Curiosity may be the least valuable thing for him.

After sighing to himself for a while, Barton went on with his work.

Towards 12:00, he put away the things on his desk, picked up his coat and hat hanging from the coat rack, left the office and walked to the door of the Compliance Department.

Knock, Barton knocked on the wooden door in front of him.

Soon Pacheco opened the door, glanced at Barton and said:

"give me five more minutes. I still have one more thing to deal with."

"No problem." Barton replied without a hint.

"come in and wait." Pacheco made a casual remark.

Patton, impolite, stepped into the Compliance Department and found a chair to sit down.

He moved his eyes at random and found that there were about six to seven people in the "compliance department".

Just then he heard someone knocking at the door.

Before the compliance employees got up, the door creaked open.

The first to enter is the vice president of the Roon Antiquities Collection and Conservation Foundation.

This is a Hale and hearty old man who looked around and looked at Barton for a second and then said:

"it seems that everyone is here.

"I'd like you to meet a new colleague."

As he spoke, the vice chairman took a few steps forward to expose the new employees in the "compliance department" who followed.

This is a woman in her twenties, with a high nose, plump lips, dark gray eyes and a pretty face, wearing the usual blue dress.

However, there was no expression on her face, and the whole was not like a real person, but closer to the wax figure.

Barton and Pacheco's eyes suddenly froze.

The vice chairman continued to smile and said:

Like Pacheco, she will be deputy director of compliance. Her name is Alicia. Tamara. "

(the end of an ordinary person's daily life).

Of course, the daily life of ordinary people in PS1: can not go much deeper, which belongs to the presentation of the surface part of the iceberg and does not involve below the surface, well, it can also be regarded as a narrative attempt.

If the final part of PS2: is purely for fear effect, without considering the three values of characters, it should be written as follows:

As he spoke, the vice chairman took a few steps forward to expose the new employees in the "compliance department" who followed.

This is a woman in her twenties, with a high nose, plump lips, dark gray eyes and a pretty face, wearing the usual blue dress.

Barton and Pacheco's eyes suddenly froze.

At this time, the lady raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly and said naturally:

"Hello, everyone. I'm Alicia. Tamara. "
