Chapter 1648 frog&fog(thirty-six)

For many poor boys, I'm afraid they only dream about such a day.

Put on decent clothes, take a beautiful female companion on your arm, attend a grand banquet, and nod politely with people who are also dressed well, just like Jack who broke into the Titanic's first-class party.

But for most people, such a dream is just a dream. They will still be "waked up" the next morning, and then drag their bodies that have not been completely rested to the workplace to start a new busy day, and so on.

Day after day, life feels dull and boring.

But this kind of life is still much better than that of children wandering on the streets. Plants grown in the wild are different from those grown in the greenhouse. The cruel environment does not give them much time to be innocent and romantic. Children with parents can

Begging their parents to buy them their favorite toys, these fatherless children must find food on their own to avoid freezing to death or starving to death on the busy streets like the little match seller on Christmas Day.

At the same age of 13, Felix is ​​much more precocious than other children of the same age. The only thing that can make him show his "childlike innocent smile" is when he wears rich people's clothes or uses rich people's clothes.

After getting these things, he knew that he got all this through his own "work", and even his parents' current jobs were obtained because of him. But what he didn't know was that his life was counting down, that is to say, what he got

"Success" is short-lived, but there is a British proverb that the sun does not always come out, so when it does, you should bask in it as soon as possible. There is no "long-term" and "eternal" to consider.

As for their parents from Eastern Europe, Haji is adapting to the new life anyway. When everyone else is wearing evening clothes, Haji feels very confident that he is wearing driver's clothes. Alejandro can drive a boat but can't.

When it comes to driving, Haji has even driven a tank, let alone a limousine.

The streets in the center of Paris are actually not wide, and they are difficult to expand. Coupled with those stretched cars, traffic jams are common. Holding the banquet earlier can avoid the evening rush hour, and the parties will be crowded.

Rich people don’t need to clock in like the working class.

Maintaining the gold-plated Versailles requires a huge amount of expenditure. Visitors and ticket fees alone are definitely not enough anyway. How can taxpayers' money be squandered and wasted by those in power like a king?

The crime rate in France is very high. Although it is not as high as that in the United Kingdom and the United States, thefts do occur frequently. Not every cultural relic in the Louvre is a national treasure and must be recovered. The police's salary is so low, what do they do?

Life is more tiring than a dog. If a person disappears and there is no trace, let alone if one or two rags are stolen, the sensation caused by the man who stayed in the Louvre for a day and night dressed as a sculpture is much more eye-catching.

Why did he do that? Was it performance art or a protester from an organization?

When Zodiac appeared, the media also followed him and reported on him. Everyone wanted to crack the code he left behind, and to solve the case first with the FBI and catch this criminal.

This is more like a rabbit catching game, or a treasure hunt game. People who are trapped in group thinking will have a hard time getting out of that thinking unless a "devil's advocate" appears.

And even if there is a devil's advocate, they will not listen. They will not give up until the excitement disappears or new excitement takes its place. At this time, the only ones who insist on catching zodiac are those agents with federal government salaries.

, and very few people.

Many people will adopt kittens, puppies or other small animals because they like them for a while, but when the novelty wears off, they will find them annoying and abandon them.

Abandoning children is not difficult for some people, even if these children are their own flesh and blood, social ills need to be corrected, and national progress is achieved in the process of improving ills and governance, not like Harry's uncle Vernon

Just send it to the orphanage as you said.

In fact, Severus could give the example of Voldemort murdering baby Harry before to prove that some people will listen to the prophecy and eliminate the "hidden danger", but Monica and Alessandro are both Muggles, and to them Voldemort is far away than that person.

The Queen of the East is even stranger. At least they know that Attila is not from the same world. It would be good if they can understand him.

Years of teaching experience have made Severus less articulate than he was when he was young.

It's just that the self in the mirror no longer had the tight skin he had when he was young. He even saw that he had white hair and was standing next to a mixed-race Veela. People would suspect that he was her father, and no one would think that he was older.

smaller.

"Where's the scar on your neck?" Alejandro said as he tied his tie.

"I covered it with makeup," Severus said. "Can you help me?"

"Yes, thank you." Alejandro stopped struggling with the tie. Severus reached out to take it, but did not teach Alejandro how to tie it.

"Did you understand what Gianluca said just now?" Severus asked.

"What?"

"Two girls from the United States arrived in Paris and were kidnapped from where they stayed. The father of one of the girls rushed to France to rescue her. Fortunately, he was an agent. If he were an ordinary person, he would have no choice but to wait for the police.

But I think that girl has been sold to the Middle East by then, and you have to protect your sister before everything goes bad." Severus said amidst the rustle of silk.

"Are you thinking too much?" Alejandro said.

"Monica just wants to play. You are her only protector, but I think she definitely doesn't want you to protect her. She even thinks she should protect you. You are younger than her, right?" Severus?

After finishing speaking, he tightened his tie, and Alejandro twisted his neck a little uncomfortably.

"He didn't want her to hear it, so that's why he was so metaphorical?" Alejandro asked.

"Like I said, she is not vigilant enough. The urban adventurer named Bruni she found today is also unbelievable. Maybe they will throw us into the maze, so I need you to keep an eye on it, understand?

?”

Alejandro nodded slowly.

"Did you find anything else besides that reservoir?" Severus asked.

"If you come to Paris you will lose something most precious." Alessandro said. "Do you believe it?"

"Who told you that?"

"It's in the magazine, ow!"

Alejandro covered his beaten head and wailed.

"Looks like you're ready." Severus smirked.

"There is another thing." Alejandro said, "I heard that there is a National Seal Park nearby. It has the same name as the National Seal Line. The cherry blossoms there are very beautiful."

"Maybe you haven't noticed, but it's the end of June and it's too hot for the cherry blossoms." Severus hissed.

"Don't you think it's strange? The Great Seal Line, the Great Seal Park." Alejandro said, "That was the place where Louis XIV held a royal banquet. The French take French food very seriously."

Severus pondered for a while and then asked, "Who did you listen to?"

"Magazine." Alejandro said and took a half step back.

"Did you know that 'frog' in English not only means frog, but also means railway frog. Two railway tracks that are almost impossible to meet briefly intersect at the frog and then go their separate ways, because from the beginning

The destinations they choose are separate. From the moment the passengers board the train, they have already made their choice." Severus stared at the mirror and said, "We can't pretend anymore, you choose you.

I chose my own path."

"What do you mean?"

Severus looked at the Muggle, smiled and said, "Believe me, it is necessary to treat others differently. You are not a saint, and you do not need to be fair to everyone."

Alejandro still didn't understand, and Severus ignored him.

He came to Haji and whispered something to him.

"How do I look?" Monica, wearing a gray evening dress, came to Alejandro proudly.

"Very good," Alejandro said perfunctorily.

Then he was beaten, and by chance Monica hit the same place as Severus. Alejandro touched his head, wondering what he had done wrong.
