Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 155

[Chapter 154 Green Banyan Customs (please vote for me)]

Night.

Inside a cafe.

Liliat sat in her seat with a worried look on her face.

She didn’t pretend, she used her true appearance. After all, the people in the Investigation Bureau were now crazy dogs, and conducting secret activities would make it easier to be exposed. It was better to meet and talk openly, pretending to be a gathering of friends.

This is also the request of the God Envoy.

Liliat felt very happy when she thought that the God Envoy would meet her with his true self, which meant that she gained more trust.

But thinking that I didn’t accomplish what I was told last time, I couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

The cafe is brightly lit, and through the window you can see the street lit by gas street lamps.

Wearing glasses, Liliat looked very delicate and had an average appearance, attracting the attention of many men.

She endured the discomfort and waited for another ten minutes, when she suddenly saw a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance and blue eyes, pushing open the door of the cafe. After a brief glance, he walked towards her seat. Come over.

“Hello, White Dove…”

Although Aaron did not use a raven mask, he wore Benjamin’s human skin mask. He sat opposite Liliat and lowered his voice: “You can call me Mr. Yasuo!”

“Yasuo !”

Sir…”

Liliat tried to look natural, as if she was chatting with a friend: “I’m really sorry, my father didn’t have what you needed last time…”

The thing referred to here is naturally Aaron. The desired dream world positioning technology.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but frown.

Liliat quickly added: “But my father promises that he will pursue more channels!”

‘More channels? The Duolun family has declined. Apart from the Green Banyan Council, there is no other channel available, right? ‘

Aaron thought deeply, called the waiter and ordered a cup of hot cocoa.

He pondered for a while and felt that what Liliat said was true. She did not dare to lie to him, and her father would not care about a piece of secret knowledge as long as he cared about his daughter.

Therefore, the Duolun family does not have technology related to dream world positioning.

And the Green Banyan Council behind them must be very suspicious of their existence, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to get it in a short period of time.

“I understand, keep working hard.”

Aaron picked up the exquisite glazed porcelain cup and took a sip of the fragrant and sweet cocoa.

“Also…about the last letter delivery…”

Liliat vaguely mentioned the last time about the Intelligence and Investigation Bureau.

“Now there are new developments… Speaking of which, have you heard of the terrible things that happened at the Witch’s House?”

Aaron asked calmly.

This is something that the entire Green Forest City knows, and is widely discussed in newspapers. Even gossip about the appearance of a large number of insects is flying all over the sky. Discussing it in public will not attract much attention.

“I’ve heard about it…and also done some research, and found that similar things seem to have happened many times in the slums of Green Forest City, and the trend is getting worse.”

Liliat looked solemnly: “Is it possible? …Is something bad going to happen?”

She really couldn’t understand why Roberts dared not run away after completing his promotion, but stayed in the Green Forest area to cause trouble!

“I’m afraid so…”

Aaron sighed and looked out the window.

By the end of September, even at night, there were still some people flowing under the gas street lamps.

Most of them are street girls and some mobile vendors.

Aaron noticed a vendor pushing a small handcart. He was in his fifties, with gray hair, and was unremarkable. The products he sold were very interesting – they were statues, crowns and other handicrafts made from banyan tree branches.

“It’s almost the Green Banyan Festival…”

Lilia looked at this scene, but she was very familiar with it: “In previous winters, Green Forest would hold a grand celebration to worship the [Green Banyan Tree Grandmother]. This is from Fab It is a custom left over from the Li Dynasty and even the earlier Green Forest period. It has been integrated into the blood of all Green Forest citizens…”

“Later, although with the spread of the Holy Spirit Religion, the old grandmother was distorted into a Green Angel, but We have to keep this custom. Now Lusen City regards the last day of September as the birthday of the green banyan tree. Even if people don’t participate in the celebration, they often buy a few green banyan tree products and put them at home…”

“This folk custom , has been studied by many scholars, and in the mysterious world, it is widely believed to have some relationship with the Earl of Green Forest…”

…

“So that’s it…” Aaron pressed a banknote under the glazed porcelain cup, Standing up: “Let’s go for a walk!”

Liliat felt that Mr. Yasuo seemed a little sad for some reason, which made her eyes sore and she felt very strange in her heart.

However, she still put on her coat and gauze hat, and followed Aaron.

At the end of September in Green Forest City, the weather has become extremely cold.

But those bankrupts and poor people had to pawn their coats that could keep out the cold, shivering in the cold wind, and had to keep stomping their feet to keep warm.

“Sir, buy an object blessed by the green banyan tree. It will bless you.”

Walking on the street, you can see vendors selling green banyan products from time to time.

“What’s the price of this piece?”

Aaron stopped in front of an old woman wearing single clothes with half-white hair. He looked at the simple items in her basket, randomly picked out a forehead protector woven from green banyan branches, and asked casually. .

“Five, no, only three pennies!”

The old lady looked at Aaron expectantly.

Aaron was silent for a moment, then took out five copper coins and handed them to her. Amidst the other’s gratitude, he played with the forehead protector in his hand.

“Thank you, kind sir.”

The old lady thanked her repeatedly and appeared very polite. Liliat couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Madam, you seem to be very well-educated, why did you fall into this… I’m sorry…”

“There’s nothing to say. The business my husband invested in collapsed, and my family went bankrupt…” The old lady sighed: “Fortunately, after selling the original house, we paid off the debt, and now we live in a crowded place. A little, but when little Cowles graduates from college and finds a good job, everything will be fine.

“Everything will be fine, may Green Banyan bless you!”

Liliat made a gesture that Aaron recognized. It is an ancient ritual when offering sacrifices to the green banyan tree.

“Grandma bless you.” The old lady’s eyes lit up and she replied in the same way.

Liliat was about to leave with Aaron when she suddenly heard a muffled sound behind her.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the old woman falling to the ground and fainting. Her abdomen swelled rapidly, as if something was about to burst out of her body!

“This is…”

Liliat’s pupils shrank, thinking of the terrible rumors that happened in the witch’s house and the slums!
