Many tiny tentacles extended from behind the eye, and now that the brain had been transformed, they tried to take over the body.
But he was stopped by the black leather collar worn around the girl's neck and was stuck there, unable to go down.
Hitzfeld guessed that the discomfort she felt just now was probably because... the feeling was too stimulating, causing too much blood to rush to the brain, which actually supplied it with energy.
So the left eye and the collar began a fierce confrontation, with her head as the battlefield.
This has never happened before.
Of course, she had never been put in that state before.
It seemed shameful to argue such a thing with such a rigorous attitude. Hitzfeld was reluctant to say more and always wanted to change the subject.
And she also...
What she had just done was almost the limit of what she could accept at the moment.
Even if this hadn't happened, she wouldn't have allowed that hand to continue.
"You will tell Nian Lun about this, right?" Xia Yibing still stared at her sternly.
"This is about your health and safety, and it's best for you to do this and let them develop a treatment plan for you."
She was really worried about the girl.
So that's the extent of the emotional swings, but what about rage? What about sadness? What about other types of extreme emotions?
Will it get worse than it is now?
These all need to be confirmed and preventive mechanisms need to be established, and there is no room for carelessness.
"I…Okay, I'll tell her."
Hitzfeld opened his mouth.
She wasn't too worried about it.
Because as early as when she was in Nan Xinze, she had tried to actively communicate with the power of her left eye, and she succeeded, although that might have been only the smallest part of many parts of power.
Once there is a chance, there will be a second. She believed that one day she would be able to completely control this eye and take the collar off her neck.
And other types of extreme emotions, she thinks she's experienced them.
There was nothing unusual about the left eye during those times.
But Xia Yibing was worried, so she just went along with it.
Because she could see that she felt very guilty.
She believed that it was her responsibility that this hidden danger in her body was triggered.
Although there seems to be nothing wrong with this understanding.
Well.
It was indeed caused by her scraping her stockings...
Hitzfeld felt that the situation was a bit absurd, because she was the one who was bullied and lying down, but in the end, she was the one who comforted Xia Yibing and told her not to let her imagination run wild.
But she didn't reject it.
Because looking at the charming woman sitting on the edge of the bed, with her lips lowered and looking as if she had done something wrong and felt aggrieved, she indeed found the scene very pleasing to the eye.
This kind of summer is very lovely.
"Can we change the subject now?" She breathed a sigh of relief.
"For example, Mr. Alex...why on earth would they put him on your team?"
"I don't know this either."
Xia Yibing still looked at her with a heavy heart. Although she was answering, she was obviously still worried about her eyes.
"But his transfer order was signed by Villefort himself. You can trust him as much as you trust Ethan."
Chapter 5 Opportunity
When Hitzfeld came out of the station, he saw Ethan. He was standing with Zafira, whose silver ponytail made him very easy to spot in the crowd.
"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
"No, I didn't even see any good shows."
"That's good, what are the arrangements next?"
After handing over the information, the two looked at Xia Yibing.
Because only the team leader is qualified to know all the details of the mission, it seems that Xia Yibing began to hide the return route from others.
"Pippen, Herm, and Alex, continue to follow me to escort Hitzfeld back to headquarters." Xia Yibing whispered, "You two take Ashley to Iris Street. Mapus should have no problem going back by himself."
"I got the mission too~" Darent raised his hand, "The higher-ups asked me to follow her all the time - after all, I am her official partner according to the procedure."
Frowning at him, Xia Yibing nodded, "Then you can take a car with me."
The car that the Security Bureau prepared for them was of very high specifications.
It looks like a luxurious classic car, and it has been lengthened, with two rows of seats in the back.
They got in their cars and left in two different directions. It was not until the taillights of the cars disappeared in the drizzle that an old man wearing tattered clothes and looking like a beggar on the opposite street corner finally broke free from his motionless state, and his figure turned into a flock of crows in the darkness.
It was the first time that Hitzfeld entered the Security Bureau's underground headquarters through this route.
She had seen two routes before. One was to go down to the underground station and follow the passage to find an abandoned telephone booth - that was actually a disguised elevator. Another was that inside the black market, there were hidden stairs behind some shops, and one could go down directly by following them.
But this time, she felt like she was taking the "front door".
A jet-black sedan is driving in the city. If you look closely, you will find that its paint is slightly different from that of other cars.
The reflectivity is even weaker, and if you happen to drive into a long shadow, you can hardly make out its outline without looking carefully.
This situation was repeated after they drove into a bridge tunnel. Hitzfeld saw a black car with the same model and license plate appear in the rearview mirror. The next moment, she felt a shock under the car, and the whole car seemed to suddenly fall down a super downhill slope.
It was a trap door.
Concrete and steel bars were poured and pressed in the middle of the tunnel road. When the car drove over, the door panel opened to form a downhill slope, and when they dived into the exposed deep hole, it closed quickly.
The whole process took less than three seconds. Hitzfeld could imagine that the car of the same model that appeared out of nowhere might have appeared in the same way.
If someone happened to be watching them, those people would never have imagined that in just a few seconds, another car came out of the tunnel.
“You can almost relax here.”
There were chandeliers every two meters in the underground passage, and the light illuminated the tunnel, which relieved Xia Yibing's nervousness.
"Is this the main entrance?" Hitzfeld asked.
"No, no, it's not here!" Pippen interrupted from behind, "I tell you, you will never guess where the main entrance of the Security Bureau is - there are two gates down there, one at the dock and one at -"
"Pippen!" Xia Yibing, Grimm and Hem growled at him almost at the same time.
"I shut up." Pippen shuddered, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand. At the same time, there were unclear words coming from below: "Okay... shut up then..."
Hitzfeld couldn't help but smile, and looking at the winding road ahead, he felt much better than before.
No matter how capable these people are, at least it's easy to get along with them.
I am not afraid of being naughty. What I am afraid of is being naughty and stubborn, and lacking respect for authority.
From this point of view, Zafira's vision in selecting teammates is actually quite good, and she is quite happy for Xia.
The car soon opened up and arrived at a steel gate. Xia Yibing pulled the girl out of the car and came to a small window.
"Mission code 190821," she said, "Executor code name: Xia Ye Dao Gui."
"Code confirmed." After a long time, this cold response came from inside.
Xia Yibing pulled the girl into the car again. During this process, the steel door slowly opened to both sides, making an unpleasant sound that made people's teeth ache.
That should be the sound of gears and cables rubbing against each other.
Hitzfeld tried his best to distinguish them.
The place where they got off was a bridge tunnel, and they kept turning right, heading more and more towards the city center. However, the total driving time was less than ten minutes, and it was impossible to reach the city center even if they drove in a straight line, which meant that they only drove half the distance.
"Is this the river bottom?" she asked.
"You have a very keen sense." Xia Yibing raised her eyebrows. "How did you tell the difference?"
"A sense of direction. And the air here is definitely different."
"Very good." Xia Yibing looked very happy. "Just behave like this later, and I promise no one can touch you."
"So what was your original purpose in escorting me back?" Hitzfeld frowned slightly.
"Surveillance." Xia Yibing uttered two cold words.
"This is what some people think... They are still thinking about your other identity and want to 'protect' you."
Hitzfeld felt a little uncomfortable.
She knew what this meant.
In the eyes of many people, she may not be a living person, but an object.
It has the same nature as the stolen Book of Roar and the Mysterious Broken Sword.
They were so anxious about themselves because these things had been stolen.
"Did they come up with this idea recently?"
"It's been there for a long time, but it was suppressed before. However, a lot of big problems have occurred recently, and the situation in many places has become tense... So -"
She glanced at the girl.
“Villefort can do nothing about it.”
"That means I will temporarily lose my freedom after I come back this time." Hitzfeld looked calm.
This was obviously something she had foreseen, and she accepted the reality with ease.
"Who are they going to send to look after me? Are they going to put me in the Security Bureau? Or are they going to put me in the library?"
The other three people behind were all very surprised.
For her keenness.
She had actually foreseen that she wouldn't even be able to go back to the house on Iris Street. Her intuition or observation was too exaggerated.
"Don't worry."
Xia Yibing was thinking while driving.
"Don't worry, Hitzfeld... there may be a chance for this to turn around."
"They originally wanted to lock you up, I mean to keep you comfortable."
"But the information you conveyed to the tree rings changed things."
"She took the nightmare you described very seriously, so you will face interrogation immediately when we send you back this time."
"If you can prove that you have the ability to change the situation, we can work together in this direction."
"We will work together... to give you the greatest freedom possible."
"so."
Hitzfeld nodded.
"okay, I get it."
Maximum freedom.
Even Xia Yibing could only say this, so it is conceivable that she no longer wants to have the freedom she had before.
How much freedom she can enjoy next depends entirely on whether she can prove that she is valuable enough.
The best breaking point is that nightmare.
The car drove into the parking lot, and several people got out and escorted Hitzfeld through seven or eight checkpoints. She was dizzy from all the spinning, and she finally saw some familiar scenery.
Busy agents and running nurses.
This seemed to be the place where Ethan brought her down last time.
Needless to say, she is not far from the Internal Audit Department.
