"What?!" An Lisa went from shock to anger. This was a doctor?! What did they mean by selling herself?!

Reed leaned against the wall in silence and did not say a word.

Anlisa stepped forward and grabbed the other person's arms, urgently asking, "Then... what about you? What's next?"

Alice slowly lowered her head, her face growing darker and darker, and then the tears that had been welling up in her eyes all streamed down her face.

Anlisa's eyes widened as if she had already guessed, but she still asked, unwilling to give up, "You listened to him..."

Alice burst into tears, then nodded slightly three times.

Alice could no longer suppress her emotions.

"Waaaaah! I really don't know what to do! Why did this happen!"

"But it's still not enough money! Waaah! I paid back part of the money, and they still hit me."

"Grandma can't open her eyes anymore! Waaah! I miss Grandma so much!"

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

Anlisa reached out and hugged Alice.

Alice leaned on Anlisa's shoulder and cried. Anlisa remained silent, simply holding her tightly.

Reed glanced at them, then got up and went to search the three corpses.

Alice was crying and complaining, recounting all the hardships she had endured along the way.

Red stood by, seemingly unconcerned, but that wasn't really how he felt.

As Reed dug through the corpses, he remembered what had happened before.

I remember wearing the EGO set with the cosmic fragments back then, when a female employee joined the department.

He was a really nice person; he would often bring us candy to eat. I'd never tried candy before, so that was the first time I'd ever eaten it.

But it seems like a few days later... the female employee went crazy at work.

My supervisor asked me to restore her to her original state, and the female employee just stood there tearing at herself with her hands.

She was muttering something under her breath; in her madness, she revealed some of her innermost thoughts.

She was sexually assaulted and threatened by the person who assaulted her.

She hadn't originally intended to join Lobotomy Corporation, but that person threatened her.

That person threatened her to go to Lobotomy Corporation, and that she must keep a portion of the residency rights for herself.

In the end, the man succeeded in making the threat; he threatened to kill his entire family...

Finally, she recovered and returned to normal. From then on...

She spoke less and less, becoming increasingly silent. Had she given anyone candy anymore?

She knew I heard her innermost thoughts, and in the end, she died in the containment unit.

Yes, it was that sudden. I didn't even know when she died.

Back to the present, Red has basically taken everything that looks valuable.

On the other side, it seemed like they had almost finished crying, but there was something strange about it.

These three people were dressed very elegantly, with jewelry and accessories.

But why do these accessories not look like the real thing?

Although Reed himself didn't understand it, any normal person who looked closely would notice something odd about it.

Could this really be a fake? But I don't know anything about this, how can I tell if it's fake or not?

Although these ornaments look a bit strange, the change in these people's pockets is real money.

Reed put the things in his pocket, stood up, and looked at the two people behind him.

While Captain Anlisa was comforting Alice, Reid walked over.

"Look at these ornaments, are they real?"

After Reed finished speaking, he tossed one of the bracelets to the other woman, and Anlisa instinctively caught it.

Anlisa looked at it with some surprise after hearing this, then shook her head. "I don't understand these things."

Reed looked at the three pieces of jewelry in his hand, then at Alice, who had finished crying but was still trembling.

Reed tossed the three trinkets he was holding to Alice, then turned and walked out of the alley.

Alice froze when she saw the necklace and bracelet that had suddenly appeared in her arms.

Alice watched Reid walk away and asked, "Why?"

"Don't get too excited, they might all be fake."

Anlisa stared at Reid and said, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak! Can't you say something nice?!"

Reed thought for a moment

"I'm not deaf. Your grandma is sick, so we can sell her."

Alice said timidly, "But it's a lot of money, you could clearly..."

Reed suddenly bent over and sighed, "Okay, I don't know! Maybe I just inexplicably wanted to be a good guy for once!"

Alice remained silent, looking at the jewelry in her arms. She then looked up at Reid and said, "Thank you..."

Reed didn't say anything and walked straight out.

"Wait a minute, Redna!" Anlisa's voice suddenly rang out, stopping Redna who was about to leave.

Reed stopped and turned around. "What is it?"

Anlisa said, "I hope you can protect Alice and her grandmother..."

Reed didn't react much after hearing this, but after a few seconds he said, "What about the reward?"

"How much do you want?"

"Two silver coins..."

Anlisa suddenly scoffed, "You're really determined to want two silver coins."

Anlisa rummaged in her pocket, took out two silver coins, and tossed them to Reid.

Reed caught it and put it in his pocket.

Alice was suddenly a little confused as she listened to their conversation.

(?Д?) "Sister Lisa! You hired Reed to protect me?"

Anlisa looked at Alice, who was still being held, and patted her back. "Alice, I know what you want to say. Although it's a bit sudden, I really want to help you..."

Alice covered her mouth with both hands and whispered, "Sister Lisa..."

Alice suddenly opened her arms and hugged Anlisa tightly. "Thank you, Sister Lisa! Waaah!"

"Okay, okay, stop hugging me~ Why are you crying again?"

A few minutes later, Alice had calmed down and was even a little happy, her eyes filled with hope.

Anlisa looked at Reed and said, "Reed, you know what I need you to protect when I hire you, right?"

Reed nodded; he had been listening to this for ages!

"And thank you, Reed... If it weren't for you, I probably would have been finished." Alice bowed to Reed.

Anlisa said to Alice beside her, "I'll take you to work at a general store from now on, so you don't have to do this kind of thing again."

Alice nodded

Having overheard their complaints, Reed basically understood what had happened to the three people lying on the ground.

Alice originally wanted to hurry home to brew medicine for her grandmother, but suddenly these three scoundrels appeared.

Then he started yelling and screaming, and he got me to come out.

As the squad leader, Anlisa did not arrest Reid for the murder.

After all, this kind of person deserves to die, so Anlisa chose to turn a blind eye, saying a few perfunctory words to Reid before stopping.

"Oh no, it's so late!" Alice glanced at the sun in the sky and suddenly became anxious.

Anlisa asked, "What's wrong?"

"My grandma hasn't taken her medicine yet. Oh right, where are my herbs?"

Reed pointed, and Alice hurriedly picked it up.

Anlisa also came over, bent down to pick up the herbs, and put them back into her bag.

Alice grabbed her bag, flustered and somewhat at a loss. "Oh no, it'll be too late to go back now. What should I do? My condition might worsen."

Anlisa was about to suggest calling a taxi, but then suddenly realized that it was almost afternoon and there were practically no taxis left.

Alice was almost in tears; too much time had passed, and if she didn't take her medicine, her condition would worsen.

Just as Alice was in a panic and despair

Red came up with a plan; he put his sword away.

Reed came up to Alice and said, "I'll carry you back."
