In the moving vehicle, Xia Yibing reminded Hitzfeld.
Joe Cole absolutely supports Pondich. After the atmosphere broke down, he was too lazy to drive for them anymore, and directly assigned a car for them to drive themselves. Xia Yibing is now driving this car.
"I know." Hitzfeld looked calm.
"You could actually be more tactful..."
"Time won't allow me to procrastinate any further." Hitzfeld shook his head. "Whether he is or not... at least I can give him a heads-up and serve as a warning."
"Didn't you ever think of asking him to agree to lock down the city from the beginning?" Xia Yibing finally reacted.
"Of course, this is just the bargaining skill I learned at the market on Flo Street."
"You little liar..."
"Hehe." Hitzfeld tilted his head and smiled at her.
"I was so worried... Just be aware of it yourself."
Xia Yibing turned around and concentrated on driving.
"Where to go next?"
"Pontsinburg."
Nantzing Prison, Poncebourg.
Casimir was sleeping soundly in the straw, with a damaged table beside him, on which lay a pile of manuscripts, a pen, and a bottle of ink.
"Bang!"
The noise of the iron gate slamming woke him up. He raised his hand to block the light coming from outside the fence, struggled to sit up, and looked over there.
"...What is this for?"
"Take you out." A girl's voice came from the light.
"Ha..." Casimir grinned.
"Are you not afraid that something might happen to me?"
"There are at least 1000 members of the Holy Fruit Society in Nanxinze now. One more person who has eaten inferior fruit is of no consequence at all."
"So, Agent, Casimir."
"Time to wake up."

Chapter 57 Salon 1
Nan Xinze's recent demeanor is somewhat contradictory.
On the one hand, the festive atmosphere was getting more and more intense. On the other hand, the parish and the city hall announced the arrest of people involved in the "Bella Hayeson" case, which caused panic in a small area.
Fortunately, the news did not spread widely. After people learned that the people arrested were from a deeply hidden criminal organization and had participated in the murder of Bella Haytham, they no longer cared.
After a few days, not only did most people no longer fear, but some small circles began to spread the rumor that these people wanted to murder Haytham because they were jealous of his talent.
After the rumor spread, the sales of "Dream City" increased further. The authorized newspapers even began to consider printing a single volume, which was definitely a huge profit at that time.
But all this has nothing to do with the guardians of the city.
They have arrested a large number of suspects during this period. A large number of police and riders patrol the entire city day and night.
A few days later, a high-end hotel in the city received a big business.
Someone wants to rent the entire venue to hold an art salon.
On Friday, in the dressing room on the second floor of the Windsor Hotel, a pale brown-haired young man was adjusting his clothes in the mirror.
"Although I can understand why you asked me to do this, I still don't think it's a good idea."
Casimir touched the pink bow tie.
Yes……
Hitzfeld planned to promote the Black-Sharon painting to the entire aristocratic circle of Nancinze by holding an art salon, and then further obtain more information about this person from these people, thereby speculating whether Harry's library also appeared in Orwater.
He could totally understand this.
But she said a lot of nice things and made him excited to decide to come out of prison and work with her, but in the end she let him host the salon and gave him such a flashy dress, which made him unhappy.
Xia Yibing was sitting on the sofa at the back, with her legs crossed and her arms folded over her chest. She couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard him say that.
Casimir's complaint was justified.
Because not everyone can pull off a white dress and pink bow tie.
"Not everyone can pull off this color combination, but Casimir, you are definitely an exception."
Hitzfeld turned from the window and looked at him. "Nan Sinze has a pleasant climate and is suitable for traveling. Many wealthy people from the north choose to come here in August and September every year to avoid the cold and stay until the snow melts before returning... and your identity is such a rich young man from the north. You have to make them believe that you are such a person. Only such a person would be foolish enough to bring Black Sharon's paintings to show off."
"It sounds like you're giving me a chance to shine?" Casimir looked at her in the mirror and curled his lips. "Then why don't you go up yourself?"
"Thanks to those big-mouthed policemen, many local people already know me," Hitzfeld replied. "You are different because you have offended Joe Cole. They would like to keep your deeds in their hearts and will not tell others about them."
All in all, the plan was implemented smoothly.
Although there had been a dispute a while ago, in order to maintain superficial harmony, Archbishop Jones ordered the city to cooperate with Hitzfeld as much as possible. The reason why this art salon was able to be held was thanks to Carl's connections and the transmission of information.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hitzfeld to achieve such efficiency with just his limited strength.
It is true that those wealthy people would come when they heard about Black-Sharon's paintings, but it also takes time to convey information and contact people.
"What happened to the arrested suspects?"
As they were about to enter the venue, Casimi asked a few more questions.
"We can't find out much." Xia Yibing shook her head. "Oh... there is another bad news for you. Those who are deeply addicted will be swallowed up by that power and disappear after going extremely crazy."
"I heard their screams." The young man frowned. "It was really bad."
Almost all the novelists on the watch list have been arrested during this period.
Among them, those with less fame were directly notified and the name of "Holy Fruit Society" was spread.
With the death of "Bella Haytham" attracting attention, most people will just think they deserve it.
It will be more troublesome for those who are famous...If the news of these people being arrested spreads, not only will it ruin the upcoming newspaper culture festival, but in the worst case it may even lead to protests.
It's not an exaggeration, but after this period of serialization, they have already enjoyed great popularity in Nanxinze. Every move they make can bring a certain impact.
According to Joe Cole, they have two plans to deal with this matter.
The first set is ghostwriting.
They kidnapped the people but kept it a secret, and asked the newspaper to find other people to continue writing their serials.
The second set is more unsophisticated…let those arrested write in prison, and then publish the manuscripts as is.
If Hitzfeld were to comment, she would say both options have their own risks.
The first set is likely to be worn out and cannot last long.
The second set...
If those people can still spread their writings to the outside world, then what difference does it make to not arrest them?
But there is no other way for now, so we can only deal with it this way.
As for the bad news mentioned by Xia Yibing, we have to start with these people’s “fruit addiction”.
These novelists are all members of the Holy Fruit Society. According to their interrogation, they admitted that they were able to create stories... all because they ate the bright red fruit from Harry's library.
As for whether the library they entered was in the dream world or in reality, it was different. This also further confirmed Hitzfeld's guess - the library could indeed travel back and forth between the dream world and reality.
According to one of them named Zeldin, the main reason they joined the Holy Fruit Society was because there were too few fruits to eat in the library.
"The library's rules are too rigid..."
This is what he cried at the time.
"In the beginning, we were able to ensure a good harvest every time. Because we probably still had some books on hand... we could use this body... to transform the books into fruits and donate them to it. In this way, we could gain contributions, and then use the contributions to increase our authority."
"Only when our authority is raised can we see more holy fruits and be qualified to touch them."
“But as the books deplete, there are fewer opportunities to contribute.”
"In the end, donations could no longer meet our needs, so we had no choice but to communicate privately."
A private exchange, which was the exchange ceremony that Casimir witnessed at the risk of his life.
The more fruit you eat, the more you can't live without it.
Some people who are particularly addicted to fruit will go crazy if their needs are not met.
Five people have already died after hitting their heads against the wall.
So this could mean that...Casimir will become like this in the future.
I still owe you 2 more updates. I will post 4 more updates in the evening.

Chapter 58 Salon 2
"I will urge them to increase patrols."
After a moment of silence, Hitzfeld said to him.
"If I could find a library in reality, maybe I could find a way to help you recover..."
pity.
The collections in real libraries are really too deep.
They also tried tracking the travels of those novelists who had not been arrested, but again to no avail.
According to the person being followed, on that day - the location where the library used to be located suddenly changed drastically - there was no such library anymore, nor were there any clown propagandists, and there was only an abandoned building left on the original site, which was either an asylum or a residential building.
Anyway, I just can't find it.
It was as if the library itself had wisdom, knew there was danger, and hid in the dream world in advance.
In addition, there is another possible hidden danger that is troubling Hitzfeld.
It's a question of the library's authority.
Since all members of the Holy Fruit Society must strictly abide by the rules set by the library, some even hold gatherings in reality because they are unable to borrow enough fruits from the library.
Then why can she ignore this authority rule?
According to the library's rules, those who want to borrow a "book" with level 8 authority need to make a large contribution to it.
The method of contribution has been clearly explained by those people... that is, to read and recite a book carefully, understand it thoroughly, and transform it into fruits and donate it to the library.
Permissions correspond to donations.
So the price of proportionality is... knowledge?
Is the price they pay for their overdraft knowledge?
If so, what kind of knowledge have they overdrawn on the library?
Enough knowledge to see and touch all the fruits...
How did the library obtain this knowledge from their minds?
Until this issue is clarified, Hitzfeld will always feel uneasy.
And there is another question, that is, for those who find the library in reality, do they have the opportunity to make a deal with the undead of West Grant?
The strange people that Casimir saw, those guys with tongues growing on their upper palates and mouths that could be split to the roots of their ears, the reason they became like this, according to previous speculation, is because they made a deal with the undead of West Grant, and exchanged their physical bodies in West Grant for the opportunity to enter the library from the Fairy Bar.
This trading opportunity currently seems to be available only in West Grant in the Dream World. In other words, it is a special benefit of "entering the library from the Dream World".
Have the people who entered the library from reality also mutated? If so, are their mutations the same as those weirdos... It will take time to find out these things.
