An Ordinary Person's Daily Life (8)

The scene in front of him was so ordinary that Barton didn't think there was any problem.

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

How can the scenes that I see every day not feel a little familiar?

He moved his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see the crimson moon hanging quietly, swaying light, making people's mood settle down involuntarily.

At this moment, Barton seemed to have unloaded the invisible burden, his body and mind were very relaxed, and he no longer had the previous panic, anxiety and irritability.

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

"The storm is above, thank the Lord for your blessing." Barton immediately clenched his right fist and left chest, and whispered to himself.

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

Barton couldn't help but put the back of his hand to his mouth and yawned, but there was a little more pleasant smile on his face.

He didn't stay in the study anymore, turned and left here, all the way back to the bedroom, took a bath in a state of enjoyment, and drank a small glass of red wine.

That night, Barton stopped dreaming and slept very soundly.

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

Looking at his wife who was still sleeping next to him, 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, and even the pedestrians are so educated.

This made Barton's mood even better, and once again deeply realized that the Vernal affair was over, and he returned to an ordinary and peaceful life.

In this mood, he returned home and enjoyed breakfast with his wife and children.

In the process, he even told his wife the jokes published in the newspapers, fulfilling a small request from the children.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of his wife and children, Barton was sincerely satisfied.

Then,

He put on a coat, put on a hat, carried a cane, and went out to take a trackless public carriage, all the way to the "Loen Antiquities Collection and Protection Foundation" on the edge of the city.

Entering his office, Barton returned to his old rhythm. Instead of busy working, he prepared black tea with some exotic herbs for himself.

With black tea, he leisurely finished reading the few newspapers he didn't subscribe to at home before he picked up the letters and documents he received and reviewed them in turn.

Such a process, such a rhythm, made him feel very comfortable.

The only dissonance is that Patton is still a little worried about receiving Vernal's letter again.

However, this fear has not materialized.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Come in." Barton picked up the cup and drank the lipstick tea.

The person who pushed in the door was the deputy director of the "Compliance Department". The appearance was ordinary and uncharacteristic, but Pacheco Dawn made people feel friendly.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Pacheco asked as he stood at the door, greeting him.

"Excellent." Barton didn't hide it.

Pacheco nodded, smiled and said:

"It seems that you have indeed escaped the effects of this incident."

Barton didn't talk about the "nightmare" he had, and instead asked:

"And you?"

"I also slept well." Pacheco responded with a smile, "The police have completely taken over this matter. It is said that Vernal was found last night. Unfortunately, he seems to have suffered misfortune."

"Poor man, may he find peace." Barton did not say that the Lord would bless him, because Vernal had abandoned his belief in the "Lord of the Storm". If there is "blessing", it must be lightning plus storm.

After speaking, thinking of the help provided by Pacheco and the friendly gesture of the other party, Barton took the initiative to say:

"Will we have lunch together?"

"Are you a treat?" Pacheco said with a smile.

"Of course, it's a pleasure to meet a friend like you." Barton stood up and gave a gentlemanly salute.

Pacheco nodded lightly and said:

"Then I'll be waiting for your invitation in the Compliance Department.

"Before 12 o'clock?"

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

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

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

As an ordinary person with a normal IQ, he can fully see that Vernal's affairs are full of weirdness, involving issues in the field of occultism and religion.

In addition, he is actually very interested in the split of the Tamara family, the secret history of the Fourth Epoch, and the details of Vernal's encounter.

But he knew that he couldn't go deep into it. It was an ordinary person's greatest luck to see that the part of the iceberg that surfaced was not dead. If he tried to figure out the specific situation under the water, he would definitely drown.

The archaeological experience in the past made Patton afraid to take risks, and he did not want to take risks.

For him, curiosity may be the least valuable thing.

After secretly sighing for a while, Patton continued to work.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, he put the items on the table, picked up the coat and top hat hanging on the coat rack, left the office, and walked outside the "Compliance Department" door.

Dong Dong Dong, Patton knocked on the wooden door in front of him.

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

"Give me another five minutes, I still have a few things to deal with."

"No problem," Barton replied without hesitation.

"Come in and wait." Pacheco said casually.

Barton was not polite, 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 on the door.

Before the "Compliance Department" employees could get up, the door creaked open.

The first to enter was the vice chairman of the "Loen Antiquities Collection and Protection Foundation".

This is a spirited old man. He looked around, his eyes stayed on Patton for a second and then said:

"It looks like everyone is there.

"I'm introducing you to a new colleague."

While speaking, the vice chairman took a few steps forward, revealing the new employees of the "Compliance Department" who were following behind in the eyes of everyone.

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

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

The eyes of Patton and Pacheco suddenly froze.

The vice chairman continued with a smile and said:

"She will be the deputy director of the 'Compliance Department' like Pacheco. Her name is Yalysia Tamara."

PS1: Of course, the daily life of ordinary people can’t go too deep. This belongs to the presentation of the iceberg and the water surface and does not involve the subsurface. Well, it can be regarded as a narrative attempt.

PS2: If the final closing part is purely for the fear effect, without considering the three views of the characters, it should be written like this:

While speaking, the vice chairman took a few steps forward, revealing the new employees of the "Compliance Department" who were following behind in the eyes of everyone.

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

The eyes of Patton and Pacheco suddenly froze.

At this time, the corner of the lady's mouth was upturned, and she said with a bright smile:

"Hello everyone, I'm Alysia Tamara."
