I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 274: White Christmas with Cocktails and Falling Snow

Su Wen parked the car into Caroline's garage.

then.

At Caroline's strong suggestion, Su Wen changed into a more elegant and handsome black bartender suit.

See him finish changing his outfit.

Miss Hacker sat on a wooden stool at the bar, which was lit only by a dim light.

She held her delicate face and looked carefully at Su Wen who was tidying up the counter.

Then he said softly with a lazy and beautiful smile:
“I can ask Mr. Rhine to help me mix the drinks.

perhaps.

The President of the United States did not receive the same treatment as me on Christmas Eve."

Hear her say that.

Su Wen just smiled gently:

“Those people are too far away from me.

and also.

I am just an ordinary part of civilization, nothing special about me.

What kind of cocktail would you like?
If you don’t lack raw materials, I can make it.”

Listen to him.

The girl gently placed her finger on her lips and thought for a moment in a cute way.

then.

She gave a definite answer:

"Give me a glass of 'Black Velvet'.

I think.

It’s probably the most suitable cocktail for the current atmosphere.”

Hear her say that.

Su Wen nodded gently.

At the bar counter in this bar where only a dim light was on.

The silver cocktail shaker kept flying in his hands.

As the speed of the cocktail performance continued to increase, the ice-blue tail light of the cocktail shaker became longer and longer, like a Harley flying around the starry sky.
Comet-like.

Just as he was about to prepare the Black Velvet.

Suddenly, there was a crisp knock on the door of this bar which was usually not frequented by anyone.

Caroline checked the surveillance video immediately.

Subsequently.

The expression on her face returned to that lazy look again:

“I don’t want to open the door.

you say.

What should I do, Mr. Kevin?"

Hearing her use of the word 'Kevin' and her description in a relaxed yet slightly teasing manner.

It only took Su Wen a moment to figure out who the person was.

He shrugged.

Then he smiled and replied:
"The wooden door of your bar shouldn't be able to stop the female prosecutor."

He just finished speaking.

The door of the bar opened automatically without any delay under the control of Dolores' [Word Spirit: Prohibition].

The handsome bartender elegantly asked the female prosecutor who was also sitting at the bar:

"What do you want to drink?"

'Just an Americano'.

Dolores continued in a cold voice,

“I remember that the Americano was a cocktail that originated in Italy.

It was first known as Milano-Torino, named after the origin of the base wine.

During the Prohibition period in the United States, it was the favorite cocktail of American guests visiting Italy, hence the name "Americano".

This was my grandmother's favorite cocktail.

And today's snowfall reminded me of her.

Thank you. "

that's it.

On this quiet Christmas night.

Accompanied by the slightly tipsy and intoxicating taste of the cocktail.

The three of them began to talk about what they had been doing since they separated.

Caroline briefly explained that she followed Detective Kevin and found the 76th Institute of Rockefeller University.

It was also confirmed that that was the source of the black shadow disaster.

As for how to solve it.

Because the process was so shocking, she simply mentioned it briefly without describing it in detail.

And Dolores also described what happened after they left Manhattan: "In my joint investigation with the Night Watch.

Except for the mastermind, Guest.

A total of 187 Hearst board members and middle and senior management members were involved in the cult's sacrificial activities.

However, the fire in Hearst Tower killed thirteen senior leaders and injured thirty-seven extraordinary people who followed them.

and so.

Our arrest operation was rarely hindered.

As for the origin of the 'dragon skeleton' part.

Gerst himself is not a member of the Dragonborn Research Society.

But I also discovered the figures of the group of crazy people who had appeared in the early days of the United States Yellowstone Park.

They are a group of radicals who attempt to create volcanic lava activity to worship the 'pure-blooded earth and mountain dragons'.

and also.

The Rockefeller Foundation hid very deeply this time.

But if the Institute 76 you are talking about does exist.

Then I think the reason why these people disappeared in the second year of Origin but did not cause the Night Watch to investigate carefully can be determined."

Caroline clinked glasses with her.

Then the world's top hacker lady added some thoughtfulness to her analysis:

“It’s true that Hearst Corporation is a top giant in the media industry.

But it is still nothing compared to the Rockefeller Foundation.

The Rockefeller Foundation is one of the most powerful financial groups in the United States.

Based on the Rockefeller family's oil monopoly, they continued to control financial institutions and extended their sphere of influence to consortiums in various sectors of the national economy.

Before the 20s, their status was always below that of the Morgan Consortium, but they later jumped to the top of the list and are now on par with the Morgan Consortium.

Mr. Kevin, I'm glad to hear that our enemies are so powerful.

Are you scared? "

Hear her say that.

Su Wen raised the 'Blue Daquiri' and took a sip calmly, then gave the corresponding answer with a smile.

“As long as it is something that exists objectively.

no matter who.

Whatever it is.

There will definitely be flaws.”

that's it.

As they chatted, the dawn of Christmas in the fifth year of Origin finally arrived.

Dolores had previously returned to the Dragonborn Institute's headquarters in New York State.

Because the Dragon Mark Sage passed through the [Sealed Artifact: Hammershuyi - "White Door"] to face the phantom of the high-dimensional golden dragon.

Although this incident does not have such a big impact on the present world.

However, it has attracted the attention of many high-level supernatural organizations, such as the 'Astronomical Society', the 'Aurora Council under the European Union Office', 'Winterfell, the First Frontier of Siberia' and the Great Library.

and so.

Compared to Miss Caroline who always plays badly.

Dolores could only helplessly take on the responsibility of analyzing the subsequent impact of this incident.

As for the remaining two people.

After the doors of the Ice Point Bar were closed again.

Because the snow has decreased a lot.

Caroline was finally able to sit in Mr. Rhine's passenger seat and begin her journey back to the small orphanage in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the Ohio River.

"Mr. Rhine.

Do you think Sister Kara will still remember me?"

"I definitely remember."

Su Wen held the steering wheel gracefully.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Listen to Dolores:
Before you joined the Dragonborn Research Society, you secretly overloaded the society's computer cluster to mine Bitcoins, and were criticized by the entire institute.

As a result, the orphanage also experienced a major power outage for three consecutive days.

Think about it.

Sister Kara will certainly remember your outstanding service.”

Hearing his teasing words.

Miss Hacker said unconvincedly:

“I used most of the bitcoins I mined to treat the children in the yard to good food.
If I could say it left a deep impression.

It must be a good impression.”

that's it.

During the leisurely conversation between the two.

Dark Blue Margaret also passed through northern New York State, where traffic was sparse due to a night of snow.

Driving quietly towards Pennsylvania.
