Aaliyah shook her head: "Good morning, Miss Maria, I'm here to inquire about the recruitment of clerks in your foundation."

Maria understood: "You are here to help Daisy and the others with their questions, right?"

"I discussed it with others and settled on February next year, which is about two and a half months away. Daisy has been attending Sunday school for a long time. If she works hard, she should be able to work as an ordinary clerk, with a weekly salary of 1 pound and 2 soles.

.”

Daisy's grades in Sunday school are considered very good, and she can serve as a tutor, but she is still far behind the requirements of a formal job... Even she needs to work extra hard, so Freya thinks

Come on... Alya felt a little sad, and she decided not to tell the sisters the news for the time being, lest Freya lose the motivation to study.

Just as Aaliyah was thinking secretly, Admissor suddenly spoke and said to Maria: "Miss Maria, I have to take leave next Monday to apply for identity certificate."

Maria was not surprised: "Have you decided on a last name?"

"Yes." Admissor smiled, "I decided to have a surname of 'Villiana' (Alia turned her head suddenly, her eyes widening in surprise), which is the surname of Mrs. Norma who adopted me from the Tingen workhouse.

I will shoulder the responsibility of providing for her in her old age together with Alia."

"Oh, in that case, we are all Mrs. Norma's children!" Aaliyah clapped her hands happily, feeling sincerely happy that she had an extra brother. "You will tell her about this when you go back this year.

Well, Mrs. Norma must be very...what's wrong with you?"

Admissor, who had been talking to her normally just now, suddenly became quiet as if he had become a different person. The expression on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of emptiness and confusion as if he didn't know where he was. Dark gray.

His eyes quickly lost their luster, and he began to stand unsteadily, swaying on his feet, as if he had turned back into the "little monster" from Tingen.

Alya had only had initial contact with the occult, and did not understand things like supernatural and potions. When she saw this, she thought it was a relapse of Admissor's old illness. She was worried and wanted to go forward to check, but Maria held out her hand.

blocked.

Maria stared at Admissor and made a "silence" gesture to Aliya.

The monster paced around blankly, opening and closing its lips up and down, and uttered some incomprehensible words in sleep. When he turned to a certain direction, he suddenly raised his head, glanced at a certain place in the sky, then trembled violently, and his expression changed.

Very frightened.

Maria frowned and looked in the direction where Admissor was looking, and saw the "Bell of Order" in the distance.

The symbol of Backlund? What does it mean? What disaster is related to the clock?

Just when Maria was thinking hard with no results, Aliya suddenly screamed softly: Admissor suddenly turned his head to look at them, his eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes!

He stared at them, then turned around hard and glanced around at the people working in the factory. Then he staggered to the door of the factory with frivolous steps. Looking at the people coming and going, he suddenly screamed.

, his eyes were bleeding, and he fell sideways to the ground.

Maria quickly took a step forward and stretched out her arms to catch Admissor's crumpled body. She saw that the opponent's breath was weak and his eyes were bleeding profusely. She wondered if there would be any hidden dangers.

The monster's lips trembled, and he spelled out a few words with difficulty, and Maria quickly leaned in to listen——

"died……"

"……They are all……"

At this time, Aliya, who was walking quickly, knelt down next to her, wiped the blood on Admissor's face with a clean handkerchief, and looked at Maria anxiously.

Maria's scalp was numb. She entrusted Admissor to Alya and rushed out of the factory gate without thinking. But after running a few steps in the direction of the Clock of Order, she fell into confusion again.

Among them: What does this clock represent? What kind of disaster is the "they are all dead" that Admissor said? If you and others are not included in it, how can you prevent it? When will the disaster come?

How will it come?

She knew nothing about it.

If you cannot make corresponding preparations, even if you know in advance that a disaster is coming, you will not be able to resist it when the time comes!

She was frozen in place, unable to think for a moment.

Aliya had never seen this situation before. Although she was scared, she forced herself to calmly ask: "Miss Maria, what's wrong with Admissol?"

"..." Maria reluctantly gathered her thoughts and turned to look at the pale girl. She opened her mouth and for the first time felt that words were so powerless, "...I don't know."

"Aliya, don't come here again soon."

"Dangerous things are very likely to happen in the East District. You can stay in the school with peace of mind and don't come here again."

"Then you..." The girl's eyes widened in surprise. It was the first time she heard the other party speaking in such a serious and serious tone, and she felt nervous. "Do you want Admissor to stay too? He is already injured.

"

"He wants to stay."

Maria took a deep breath and said seriously to Aliya: "He must stay, we need his strength. Aliya, you should also take this opportunity to think about it. Strength comes with danger and responsibility. You

We must think carefully about your future, Mrs. Norma does not want you to join."

Aaliyah was stunned, bit her lips and lowered her head.

After hearing the girl's question, Maria suddenly realized that almost no one in the city knew that a huge catastrophe was about to happen.

In the absence of masters of prophecy and high-sequence experts who are good at divination, the monster's premonition of crisis is the most accurate.

She turned around wordlessly and looked at the people walking on the street, the people with sad faces and hopeless faces, the people who had found jobs with tired smiles, the people running through the streets laughing and playing or standing in the corner staring at other people's wallets.

Children, busy women and girls, the people of the East End who are doing their best to live... Maria has long vowed to devote all her life to helping them live and live better. She will always look down upon them.

It's not enough, and I can't finish watching all these disturbing scenes.

She looked at it all almost greedily, engraving all these pictures into her mind and heart.
