Chapter 114 An unspoken promise

Chen Yan took the chocolate bread from Aunt Susan, bit into it, and asked seemingly casually:

"In this way, everyone will vote for him."

Aunt Susan carefully covered the basket again with the blue cotton cloth, and said as if she were an outsider:

"Who knows, Xiao Chen, everyone is busy making a living, how can we have time to care about such important things?"

She shrugged her shoulders and rephrased:

"Probably, if you have time to vote..."

"The Conservative Party, the Labor Party, the Liberal Democratic Party... everyone actually doesn't quite understand what they are. They only know that they have the power to make rules... In fact, everyone is afraid of them."

"To judge whether they are good or bad is nothing more than to see who is good to everyone."

"Which party is good to everyone, who everyone will vote for."

"As for what happens next...who knows?"

Chen Yan felt the strong taste of low-quality chocolate that filled his entire mouth. In a chatty tone, he asked a question that was almost a repetition:

"This Leonard Adams, if he is elected as a councilor in Yanan City, will he always be good to everyone?"

Aunt Susan glanced at a worker behind him who seemed to be coming to buy breakfast. She felt a little anxious, but she still answered him patiently:

"Who knows, Xiao Chen, if he can keep the price of lemons on the market at 1 penny and 7 pieces, I hope he becomes the emperor!"

When she said this, she seemed to realize some of her mistakes, so she smiled naively: "Now the emperor's words are of no use!"

Chen Yan smiled: "Thank you for answering these questions for me. I hope you have a happy day!"

Aunt Susan smiled and responded: "You too, young man."

Chen Yan took breakfast and went against the crowd, stepping on the snow that had been flattened by the workers, and returned to the apartment building at No. 33 Walker Street.

When I opened the door, I happened to bump into Nuomi Guo, who had just come downstairs.

She was in a panic and didn't wear any clothes. If there wasn't a heater in the room, she would have been freezing.

After seeing Chen Yan, her eyes became even more panicked.

"Lord Landlord! I'm so sorry! I forgot to make breakfast!"

Chen Yan looked at her sleepy eyes and showed her the breakfast he just bought.

"I made a small fortune yesterday, let's eat something good today~"

Ogami also went downstairs. He had two dark circles under his eyes and a sad look on his face. It was obvious that he was too worried about finding a job and could not sleep peacefully.

"Ah, landlord, thank you for your hard work!"

Ogami shuddered and woke up when the cold wind rushed in through the crack in the door.

The three of them entered the restaurant. Chen Yan put the food on the table and said to Nuomi Guo:

"When I went out just now, I happened to meet a colleague and chatted for a while, and happened to talk about the missionary school - she has a nephew who is studying at the missionary school in Xiacheng District. He has completed his credits and is about to graduate."

When Nuomiguo heard the news about the mission school, he immediately cheered up.

Chen Yan said to her: "The diploma from the church school is universal throughout the empire, and is recognized by both vocational high schools and academic high schools."

Nuomiguo almost jumped up with excitement. Out of the restraint he had received in his upbringing, he could only hold back the excitement in his heart.

Chen Yan knew why she was so excited—the biggest obstacle on her way to a study career had disappeared.

As long as you make sure that the church school diploma is recognized by the academic high school, other campus atmosphere, part-time work environment, course difficulty...all such difficulties can be overcome!

This is the best news that Nuomi Guo has heard recently.

Chen Yan said in a solemn tone: "As for the others, I will inquire as soon as possible."

Nuomi Guo replied in a sweet tone: "I will stay at home and not go out!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Then, Chen Yan turned his attention to Ogami, who had almost finished the chocolate bread, thought for a second, and said:

"Ogami, third uncle is not dead."

Ogami nodded: "You have already told me about this."

He raised his head from the chocolate bread as big as his head, and his expression was no longer tired or depressed.

There seemed to be light in Ogami's eyes.

"I've been waiting for you to bring it up again."

Chen Yan looked at Ogami's state and understood one thing:

Maybe I don't need to buy a gun.

Ogami is my strongest weapon.

He confirmed this again:

"After he was injured by you, he seems to be relying on some unknown power, coupled with the potential activated by the [corruption] of the extraordinary blood, to survive somewhere in Yanan City."

The feeling Ogami gave him changed, Chen Yan even felt the existence called "aura" from him... This was the first time he had such a clear feeling.

'I can see and feel more things...' Chen Yan thought subconsciously.

"Lord Landlord, please take me there."

Ogami put down the food in her hand, her expression so solemn that it almost overflowed with water.

Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Ogami, not now... I have to work today."

A moment of confusion appeared on Ogami's face: "Oh, yes, work..."

Chen Yan said cautiously and slowly: "I have asked a friend to help find out the exact location of Third Uncle. I believe there will be results soon."

Ogami wanted to say something else, but suddenly she felt the back of her hand soften.

Turning his head, it was Nuomiguo who put his little hand on the back of his hand.

"Ogami."

Her eyes became longer, and the light reflected at the bottom of her pupils seemed to be filled with decades of wisdom.

"We've waited long enough."

She said something Chen Yan couldn't understand.

"We have long understood that the so-called "immortality" does not refer to the eternal life of the body, nor is it simply a curse rooted in the soul."

"We have reached the end of our journey. We have enough time to explore [real immortality], are you right?"

"Mere killings and sanctions are meaningless."

Ogami was silent for a long time, and her expression suddenly became relaxed, and her body lost the cold aura just now.

He picked up the remaining chocolate bread, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

"Then, landlord, if you need help with anything, please feel free to tell me!"

Chen Yan nodded: "No problem at all."

After Ogami finished saying that, he once again regained his listless and painful expression: "Speaking of which, I will continue to look for a job today..."

Chen Yan smiled and finished breakfast in a relaxed chat.

It was almost seven o'clock in the morning when I threw the food waste into the public trash can on Walker Street.

At this moment, there were far fewer commuters on Walker Street than before, enough for him to walk through the less crowded streets, come to the bus stop, and board the No. 306 steam bus.

Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance on the steam bus.

That's the ticket collector at the zoo.
