Since I don't hate it, then there is really no need to hide.
"Didn't Asfen say that Wayne will have major changes during this period?" Xia Yibing held her shoulders and pushed her out of the guest room. "If you continue to stay in Flo Street, you might be summoned. Don't forget that the White Shadow Palace has not summoned you. In addition, you helped the Skye family solve the problem and showed your skills in Nanxinze. The entire Wayne high-level forces are now curious about you."
“But I’m from the library,” Hitzfeld said. “At least in name only.”
"Oh, but you are not a tree person." Xia Yibing shrugged.
"Has Wayne's power struggle reached this point?" Of course Hitzfell understood what she meant - if they were not the tree people, those people would not even give face to the Wheel of Fortune?
"It's not as scary as you think, but it's almost the same." Xia Yibing sighed in her ear, "Because there is a problem of transgression here... You know, some people in the White Shadow Palace and the nobles have always believed that we shouldn't cooperate with the tree people. You should be able to guess the reason, because they are indeed not human, and they are not the same as us. In the most impolite words, those tree people are no different from evil spirits."
"Annual Rings said that the Tree People helped humans build Sara at the most critical moment." Hitzfeld's voice was cold, "...Don't they feel ashamed?"
"Perhaps the people who founded Sara together with the Tree People would blush when hearing these words, but as for these people... time can dilute everything."
Hitzfeld didn't reply this time.
"And the Tree People are not happy to be accused of this for nothing." Xia Yibing continued, "Although I don't like them, they really don't have any desire for power. I heard that their reproduction method is not fun at all, it is an extremely boring process... In addition, they have a different aesthetic when it comes to human girls. You really can't imagine any possibility that they will usurp human power."
This is undoubtedly a crude conjecture, but we have to admit that it makes sense.
Apart from appetite, intelligent creatures have two other desires that are most difficult to avoid: the desire for power and the desire for physiology.
Since the tree people do not objectively have these desires, there is really no need for them to make enemies with humans and stir up disputes just for a little name or respect.
Hitzfeld could even imagine how they would respond - in order to avoid confirming some accusations, when the situation was more serious, they would not prohibit the White Shadow Palace from investigating the human agents under its jurisdiction. At this time, they would only protect their children.
And Hitzfeld…she wasn’t even an official member of the organization.
"So the Key of Destiny is also useless." The girl said coldly, "The sacrifices made by our ancestors are worthless in the eyes of some people?"
"It shouldn't be that serious." Xia Yibing comforted her, "You have the Key of Destiny and the status of an honorary member. At least the Security Bureau can't force you to transfer you... They can't do anything about it legally, but they can find ways to induce you to make mistakes on your own initiative."
"For example, a reason like scoring with the left foot first?"
"..." Xia Yibing was silent for a moment, then said softly: "That's... so disappointing."
But she also knew that Hitzfeld was not exaggerating, because the situation was really that serious.
The protection of the Key of Destiny has a prerequisite - the holder must not commit crimes on his own initiative. Hitzfeld had ridiculed this thing for being useless, and she was right.
"Can I know why?" Hitzfeld asked her, "Why did it affect such a big country?"
"...Because of Pang Diqi." Xia Yibing shook her head, "They tested his body...It turned out that he took poison, and he was not infected."
Hitzfeld was stunned and turned his head to look at her suddenly.
Xia Yibing nodded slightly to her.
Hitzfeld felt a chill in his heart.
This means that from the beginning to the end, Pondich was not controlled by force. His betrayal was pure and completely voluntary. This is completely different from the betrayal of Bishops Khadgar and Jones.
This makes sense... If the Eclipse Church can place someone in the position of regional administrator, is there anything wrong with the senior officials who approved it? Is there anything wrong with the person who reviewed the appointment?
Pondich has not been controlled by the infection, which means that it is no longer possible to use "contamination" to identify those hidden evildoers.
That’s why the inspection is so rigorous this time. I’m afraid the tense atmosphere in Wayne Port will continue for some time.
That is indeed...it is necessary to stay away from this center.
"I can't go with you this time, but Ethan will be back soon." Xia Yibing was still analyzing for her, "You can choose one of him and Mapus to take with you, plus Asfen's secret protection... there shouldn't be any problems."
She still had this confidence - the tragedy of Nan Xinze had angered the royal family, and all the dioceses were not only investigating heresy but also vigorously searching for evildoers in their jurisdictions, with such great efforts that were rare. She felt that the rats would definitely hide and would not dare to come out to cause trouble in the near future.
"Don't be impatient." Hitzfeld shook his head.
"I still have to work out some details."
Arriving at the guest room at the other end and pushing open the door, they saw at a glance that Maps-Dallent was being pressed down on the table by Ashley, mumbling while helping her copy homework.
They startled Ashley, who stared at Hitzfeld for a moment, then grabbed the man by the collar and threw him away, then instantly returned to her position and began to remedy the situation.
"Don't expect me to buy you ice cream again."
Darent got up and straightened his collar, a vicious expression on his face.
"If I buy you one more time, I'll be a dog!"
"There is a mission, Maps." Hitzfeld knocked on the door, motioning him to come out with him.
Darent came out, and Hitzfeld described to him the story of Jellie Nome and Eugenie Kopperfield, and asked him if Mr. Kopperfield had any connection with the Wheel of Fortune.
This was the biggest possibility she could think of.
She didn't know this person, but the other party obviously knew her... It was unlikely that an ordinary person would know her name from such a distance, so the library agent was the most likely suspect.
"Oh, I can't give you an answer right away."
Darent fell into deep thought.
"We have too many outside staff... not only private investigators, but also some hidden intelligence bases. It is normal for such a large and bloated organization to have personnel changes every day."
"Be specific."
"I haven't heard of Eugenie Kopperfield's name, but it's not ruled out that he's a new member."
The man shrugged.
"Of course I tend to think he is not, because if he were one of us, his first reaction would definitely not be to ask you for help."
"Well, that makes the probability very small."
Hitzfeld had actually thought of this possibility, she just came to make the final confirmation.
"This case sounds interesting."
The man looked at her eagerly.
"I think I've been babysitting here for a while... so as your nominal partner, should we--"
Hitzfeld looked at Xia Yibing.
"I recommend you take him with you." The woman nodded.
Then he suddenly moved close to the girl and breathed softly into her ear.
"Green Town is not like South Sinze. There are many jungle wetlands there. It's easy to get dirty if you walk there wearing light-colored socks."
"…What do you want to say?"
Hitzfeld felt his body go stiff, as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his brain.
"I left you a couple of my own pairs, right on your bed in your room."
Looking closely, the woman's face was also a little red.
"If... you don't mind..."
"Just wear it."

Chapter 7 Accident
It was late at night and there was only one house with a light on in the entire Flo Street.
Occasionally, a police officer would pass by here by car or on foot. He would always feel relieved when he saw the light and then continue patrolling elsewhere.
This is because they know more than most people - ordinary people think that the disaster that occurred in Blackwood City last year was alleviated thanks to the secret police, but they know that the owner of No. 12 Flo Street played an important role in it.
If the light on No. 12 comes on late at night, it means she is back.
Although they were not clear about the other party's specific capabilities and how much impact they had played.
But how to say it.
When you are an ordinary person who has to do the work of guarding in a world full of evil spirits, you will most likely respect every "professional" you meet from the bottom of your heart.
Hitzfeld didn't know that her identity as a funeral director, which she was almost ignoring, was so respected in the eyes of many people. She was now worrying about what to do with those pairs of socks.
Half an hour ago, she was sitting at the desk writing her notes. But she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't concentrate. A pair of slender, toned, and to some extent plump black silk legs kept passing through her mind.
So after hesitating for a long time, she decided to temporarily stop the work at hand, jumped down from the chair, walked to the bed, and stared at the socks on it in a daze.
The socks were all left to her by Xia Yibing. There were ten pairs in total, all of which were thick pantyhose.
She should have...hidden up there and eavesdropped, then immediately came over to do these things...
Hitzfeld picked up a pair of socks, pulled at the elastic, and his face began to turn red unconsciously.
There is no such thing as a size for stockings. Because there is a lot of room for elasticity, she has no problem wearing these stockings given the size difference between her and other women.
There are two main reasons that bother her here.
One is that, although the socks were clean, they had almost certainly been worn by women.
This can be considered, to some extent, underwear, right...?
When Hitzfeld thought about the possibility of having to wear something like this, having it fit tightly against half of his body, he felt his legs and feet go weak, and a tingling sensation spread from the soles of his feet.
Another thing is the color of these socks.
In Hitzfeld's cognition and concept, black stockings can highlight the sexiness and beauty of the female body better than other types of socks.
This is not to say that she looks down on other types of socks...no such thing, but black always has a unique charm, and when this charm spreads to stockings, it gives this intimate apparel the same unique qualities, making it naturally more seductive.
As a person who had little experience in his previous life, had never been in love, and had not even fully established his gender identity, Hitzfeld's process of accepting his new body was not difficult.
But this doesn't mean that she can wear this kind of clothing... which is almost synonymous with sexiness, without causing any psychological waves.
So this is a challenge for her.
Both physically and psychologically.
If I didn't know that Xia also had only a vague understanding of this aspect, I would really suspect that she was deliberately trying to embarrass me psychologically...using this method to "conquer" me.
Hitzfeld pulled at the braid across his chest.
She thought women were cute for this reason... Xia Yibing always wanted to show her mature side in relationships to motivate her, but she didn't realize that her actions seemed a little... childish in the eyes of the girl.
Although Hitzfeld had no experience, she had seen many examples.
"So it should be... no problem... right?"
After hesitating for a long time, Hitzfeld decided to accept the woman's advice and take the socks with him on this trip.
If the person who gave her these socks had the thought that "if you wear them you are my property, which means you are owned by me", then she would never wear them.
But Xia Yibing certainly didn't think of it to this extent, and only made the suggestion purely from a practical point of view.
Didn't you see that she blushed at first?
To her, these are her own underwear. It must be embarrassing for her to give her underwear to others.
Thinking of this, Hitzfeld suddenly felt much more comfortable. He also vaguely felt that he had taken advantage of the woman.
I seem to have heard of a term called original stockings on the Internet...
As if possessed, she picked up the end of the sock and sniffed it a few times.
No odor...
"Huh!?" She suddenly realized what she was doing and turned around quickly to make sure the door was still closed.
"Swoosh——" Then he immediately folded all the socks and stuffed them into the box like a thief, and sat back at the desk. Steam was faintly coming out of his forehead under the light.
The next day, Xia Yibing got up with two not-so-obvious dark circles under her eyes. After washing up, she started packing her luggage.
Whether Hitzfeld planned to go to Green Town or not, she had to return to Wayne today.
She was the first person to notice the tragedy in the backyard of the church, and she had been guarding the scene for so long, so Wayne had a lot of people waiting to question her.
I didn’t sleep well last night…
After stuffing the last piece of clothing into the suitcase and buttoning it up, the woman stretched out toward the window and rubbed her cheeks vigorously.
I kept wondering if Hitzfeld would refuse...
Maybe it would be easier if she bought new ones...
As she came out carrying the box, she happened to hear someone walking downstairs from upstairs.
