Chapter 36 Traitors and Redemption

Finally, the carriage stopped in the small square on Lambes Street.

It is still a certain distance from Mary's home, but it is indeed the most neat and prosperous place on Lambes Street. The wooden two-story houses and shops are surrounded by the square. There is a small fountain in the center of the square. Angel holding a holy bottle stands in the center, and clean water flows out from the white holy bottle in His hand.

Around the fountain, several worn-out boys were chasing and fighting. When Mary saw them, she suddenly lit up. She jumped out of the carriage and ran to them, and asked, "Have you seen Jack?"

On the side of Lu Yuan, after paying the carriage driver's car, the two came to Mary's side, who had already obtained most of the information she wanted from these boys.

"This is how it's going." Mary looked back at Lu Yuan: "They said Jack was not here because the director of the Match Factory called Jack to the factory today."

"That's it." Lu Yuan nodded: "Where is the match factory?"

Mary turned her head and thought for a moment: "It's not easy to find, but I can take you there."

On the other side, Su Mei looked at the dirty boys. Although Su Mei was not dressed very gorgeously now, compared with these shabby and thin children, Su Mei was like a princess who came out of a fairy tale: "By the way, have you all got the gems?"

Hearing this, the children were all surprised and began to look at Su Mei and Mary with hostile eyes: "Mary, have you told them about the gem?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yuan and Su Mei felt a little blasting in their heads.

Su Mei just asked casually, but the other party's reaction and answer undoubtedly showed that the curse gem is not just one.

There are more curse gems.

Of course, if you estimate it from an optimistic perspective, maybe those gems may not be all cursed gems? Only Mary's piece is dangerous and terrifying?

But Lu Yuan and Su Mei did not dare to make such assumptions completely.

The reason why Su Mei asked this was actually based on one very basic reason, that is, if Jack only had one gem, unless he liked Mary, it would be impossible for him to come over to send Mary's gems.

Judging from Mary's description, the two of them are at best friends, and one is in the Match Factory and the other is in the Viscount's Lady's Mansion. On the one hand, we can indeed say that we have a bright future, but on the other hand, we are actually very unfamiliar with each other.

Jack came to send Mary's gems, which means that he was either the mastermind behind the scenes, and he was specifically here to spread the source of infection such as cursed gems.

Or he just has a lot of gems, and he just wants to share them with his friends.

No matter what the possibility is, finding Jack is the top priority now.

Mary didn't know how to answer for a moment, while Su Mei looked at the boys: "Yes, there are problems with those gems, so let's look up the whereabouts of the gems."

"You rich people are just coveting those gems, what's wrong with it! Don't you just think that we poor people cannot have such precious gems, right?" Some of these boys shouted angrily at Su Mei, and then spat hard at Mary: "Traitor!"

As he said this, the children shouted and ran away together.

Only Mary was left in the same place, at a loss, with tears in her blue eyes.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, am I really doing something wrong like this?" she murmured helplessly.

"No." Su Mei hugged Mary and wiped her tears. "These gems may cause greater disaster to Beckland."

"If we don't find out the source of the gem as soon as possible."

"But..." Mary was deeply hit by the word "traitor".

The road was far away and looked at the sky. The sun in the thick fog had already set a little westward, and it was getting late.

"We don't have much time. Didn't we just say that Jack has been called to the Match Factory now?" Lu Yuan looked at Mary with tears in her eyes: "Although I'm a little sorry, can I ask Miss Mary to take us to the Match Factory now?"

"Solve all the things that can be solved today."

Mary looked at Lu Yuan, wiped her tears with her hands, and nodded firmly: "Okay."

The match factory is still relatively far from the square on Lambes Street, but it is not as far as you need a carriage to go. Lu Yuan and Su Mei followed Mary through the streets of Lambes. They all saw some people who looked numb and pale. They looked curious at Lu Yuan and Su Mei, who looked well-dressed gentlemen, but in the end they did not come up to chat with him.

The Match Factory is built alone on the high ground by the Mist River. You can see the tall chimney in the distance - this is a large factory mainly composed of a second-story factory building, but there is no black smoke coming out of the chimney.

Standing in front of the match factory where the gate was not closed, Lu Yuan and Su Mei saw the words Henry Match Factory written on this simple factory.

"Is it just here?" Lu Yuan asked Mary.

Mary nodded.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and looked at Mary: "Mary, can you just wait outside?"

For some reason, this somewhat quiet match factory gave Lu Yuan a little uneasy, so he didn't want Mary to go in with him.

While Mary nodded, Su Mei said quietly: "I want to go in too."

"Well, even if you don't say it, I will let you in with you." Lu Yuan said.

Lu Yuan and Su Mei have experienced so many things, and it can be said that they can completely trust each other. Moreover, they have the ability to trace back their deaths, even if they really encounter danger.

At least not that scared.

Anyway, you will be resurrected after death, right?

"Okay." Su Mei touched Mary's head to comfort the girl: "You just stand here and don't walk around, wait for us to come out."

Mary nodded seriously, while Lu Yuan was a little helpless.

He held Su Mei's hand, and the two of them walked into the somewhat quiet match factory one after another.

The interior of the Match Factory is particularly quiet. Perhaps it should have been filled with the angrily scolding of supervisors and the roar of machinery, but now it is empty.

The smell of wood chips and kerosene floats in the air, and there is also the pungent smell of some chemicals that are not clearly explained.

On the first floor of the match factory, you can see the mountains of match boxes and match sticks with medicine. This is a very dangerous workshop for flammable product production plants, but the safety measures here are deeply worrying.

Lu Yuan looked around casually and found that there was no trace of the fire extinguisher at all - even the sand and gravel and water tanks used for ordinary fire extinguishing were completely impossible to find here.

At this moment, a boy screamed in horror from above his head.
