Having solved a long-standing puzzle, Hitzfeld felt a little relieved.
But Xia Yibing’s situation is not so good.
She kept holding the girl's wrist tightly.
Especially when Sixus mentioned "mutual attraction", she started to feel pain from the pinch.
Chapter 4: The Wrong Path
I want to laugh a little bit.
Because this was the first time that Xia Yibing showed her overly strong possessiveness.
But the object of possession was herself... Hitzfeld always felt it was a bit strange, but considering the process and results of their "battle", she didn't think there was anything wrong with saying so.
It's just weird.
She originally wanted to laugh, but as she thought about it, her face began to turn red.
"You two..." Sixus kept shaking his head as he watched them.
She is a doctor, and an extremely outstanding doctor. She noticed the recent changes in Hitzfeld's body, so of course she discovered that there was a special relationship between the two.
"You can have fun in private, but don't let anyone find out," she warned them, "otherwise, no matter how special your identity is, you will lose a layer of skin."
Xia Yibing is the director of the Department of Homeland Security, the new Shadow Lion King. She swore in public before the emperor that she would not marry or have children, saying that she was devoting herself to her career, so naturally, others could not ask her for anything.
Not to mention Hitzfeld, her identity as a God Devourer was enough to deprive her of her spouse rights. This would be a very severe punishment for most girls, but because of her orientation... she might be happy to be deprived of it.
"You've already discovered it?" Xia Yibing stared at her. "You said don't let anyone find out... What about you? You won't report it?"
"What good will it do me to report you?" Sixus put one hand on his waist, "Can they give me money or something? I won't destroy two excellent agents just to vent my anger!"
Xia Yibing's expression suddenly changed.
Sixus also realized that she had "said the wrong thing". She quickly reached out and interrupted the woman before she could say anything: "You heard it wrong! It's an agent! Only Aisuen! Only Aisuen!"
Xia Yibing smiled but said nothing.
Hitzfeld also smiled but said nothing.
Sixus was furious, but at least their relationship was greatly eased, and only her personal self-esteem was hurt.
"Let's talk about censorship." She began to change the subject clumsily and stiffly, "Aisun should have heard my warning. Remember not to say anything you shouldn't say."
"Are they strict?" Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Very strict." This time it was Xia Yibing who answered. She still held the girl's wrist and said, "Do you still remember the interrogation you received at the headquarters? It was still the same group of people."
"But Daniel Vista is dead."
"He is dead, but the entire department is still running. After they purged all the traitors, they separated this department, and now they are managed by people from the royal family."
"Are the Shadow Lions a trusted unit not worthy of being called 'royal men'?"
"This involves the insurance mechanism." Xia Yibing opened her mouth, "If you read more ancient history, you will find that as time goes by, many organizations of the same nature will emerge among the so-called secret agencies and royal guards."
"For checks and balances."
"…You are always smart."
"That's because I didn't think enough." Hitzfeld held his chin with his left hand. "I always thought that Alvin...she wasn't the type to be suspicious. Once she decided to give up power, she wouldn't hesitate."
"That's because your judgment is disturbed!" Xia Yibing pulled her hard, "Don't think about her anymore!"
"..." Sixus felt a little unhappy for some reason as he silently listened to the woman saying words that would be enough to get him hanged if he were to be released.
It tastes a bit sour and astringent.
What a strange feeling. Humans are really strange...
"Even if Her Majesty is not that kind of person, the people around her will force her to be." She had to interrupt them before they went any further. "As for the review process, you all know it. It's just a question to observe the progress. If you don't say anything wrong, you'll be fine."
"That's all?" Xia Yibing stood up from the sofa. "Can we go now?"
"Don't be impatient." Sixus said with a fierce look on his face, and sat back at the table. "I still have some questions to ask her."
Xia Yibing didn't sit back either. She found that there was only this one sofa in the office, so she took the initiative to give up her seat, forcibly moved Hitzfeld over and pushed him down, and she stood aside like a bodyguard.
Hitzfeld was a little shy and a little uneasy, staring at the floor most of the time, only rolling his eyes now and then to look at the doctor.
"Didn't you ask me before why it wasn't possible?" Sixus sorted out a stack of handwritten documents, opened them, and read the contents aloud.
"Number seven, sixth treatment. Temperature, blood test, urine test... confirm that all functions are normal. On this basis, inhibitory drugs are administered, and the effect is close to zero."
"Number 12, seventh treatment. After the standard procedure, the dosage of the drug was increased. The effect has improved, but it is not even enough to make you fall asleep immediately."
"So you've discovered it?" She closed the notebook. "The biggest difficulty is that it's invisible. It strengthens your abilities in every way. Your body is now extremely resistant to almost all drugs, which means that the path to drug treatment has been strangled."
"Can you change the word?" Xia Yibing interrupted, "I don't like the word 'treatment'."
"The drugs are useless, and you can't actively control it to appear. We can't observe or contact it, so we can't find any way to separate it."
Sixus ignored her, took a sip of water, and continued to stare at Hitzfeld who was listening to her carefully: "Can you describe to me again, how did you win in the first place?"
"It's this that connects my blood... and the power of the sword of Ahoyin," Hitzfeld said. "I call it the resonance between the artifact and the bloodline."
"It will resonate with the artifact." Sixus showed a confused expression on his face, "It had such a violent reaction at the time, but during the treatment it no longer had any interest in the sword."
Hitzfeld tilted his head.
Why does it sound so scumbag?
"Eternal Night has also been tried... With a seven-day cycle, your mental state will drop to the lowest point during Eternal Night."
Sixus threw the information aside, held his head and sighed, "But it still doesn't work... I'm a little tempted to give up."
The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
They all knew what would happen if the problem was not resolved: Hitzfeld might never be free again.
"Look at it from a bright perspective. Some people have already realized your uniqueness and importance." Sixus turned to comfort her, "Even without the Nature Sphere, you may not be able to... um... move around."
"lets change a topic."
Hitzfeld suddenly spoke.
"I have a question for you, too."
"You said."
"From the information we have obtained so far, the reason why the gray fog is difficult to dissipate and the evil spirits continue to emerge is not only because of the nightmares caused by humans themselves, but also because we are being targeted."
Hitzfeld looked the doctor in the eye.
"That's right." Sixus frowned, "You said... the remaining eye of the evil god is Eternal Night."
Eternal night is the coordinate.
It keeps the human world under the watchful eyes of evil foreign gods, allowing them to launch attacks over and over again.
To be honest, this information had a huge impact on many people. She guessed that the reason why the capital had only sent someone to review the progress now was also related to this.
"So if we can eliminate the Eternal Night, not to mention dispelling the gray fog, we can at least cut off the threat of more evil gods from the root."
"Yes, that's the case." Sixus nodded, "But it's difficult, no one can find where it is."
"It's not that no one can find it."
Unexpectedly, the girl began to shake her head.
"Haven't you thought of that yet?"
"The person who has this ability is right in front of you."
Xixus and Xia Yibing beside him were both stunned.
Then they all realized what the girl meant - she wanted to take advantage of the principle that the Evil God's Eyes had the same origin, could attract and sense each other, and take the initiative to find the remaining four sealed eyes!
In this way, together with the "two eyes" that have been gathered together, she may be able to find the last free evil eye - and thus have the possibility of getting rid of it and completely ending the eternal night!
"I don't think this is a good idea..."
"I think you are crazy!"
Both of them shouted rebukes.
Xia Yibing was particularly uneasy. She bent down and looked at the girl: "It was so dangerous just once... We can't be so lucky every time!"
"I don't have to do this."
Hitzfeld said calmly.
"I'm just putting forward a hypothesis, a possibility."
"That is to say, if I cannot separate the Nature Orb from myself in the end, then how can I make the most of it? In other words, how can I make the most of me and the value of Aisuen Hitzfeld as an individual?"
"You can report this and ask them what they think."
Chapter 5 Review Team
It has been three days since the crazy remarks took place in the office.
During the three days, Xia Yibing tried more than once to change Hitzfeld and make her give up this idea, but to no avail.
She almost thought that Hitzfeld didn't understand her and didn't understand the sacrifices she made to be with her. She felt aggrieved and had a tantrum during the fight with the girl.
But she soon came to her senses and reluctantly moved to the side to apologize to her.
"I'm sorry." Looking at the marks she left on the girl's body, the woman's face turned pale. "I just... I swear I'm not what you think..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head: "Maybe I'm a little spoiled... I really don't have the qualifications... to fantasize about living like this forever."
Hitzfeld could understand her.
Although she herself is not very old, how can I put it, a person who may be misunderstood as cold-blooded at times, at least has an excellent ability to observe words and expressions and understand people's hearts.
Being thoughtful is her trait. No matter which life she is in, she is very good at guessing people's hearts through superficial things.
So, excluding the interference of emotions, she would feel that Xia Yibing was essentially still a child, and might not be as strong as herself in terms of psychological endurance.
Although she is several years older than me, I have to know that her childhood was more incomplete than mine.
It is true that Hitzfeld never enjoyed the love of his parents. However, just as there would be no disappointment if there were no hope, she never had such a thing. Her pursuit of it was not so much "the fantasy of realizing the expectation of being loved by her parents" as "a philosophical thinking about her own origins".
Of course, she also hoped to find her missing parents and be loved by them, but relatively speaking, she had already gotten used to her current life and she just wanted an answer more.
But Xia Yibing was different. She grew up in a happy - or at least seemingly happy - environment, and then suddenly lost everything overnight.
This kind of blow caused much more damage to her inner world, so that even though she awakened the Changxia Sword and gradually grew into a "strong adult", she was actually never able to free herself from the shadow.
She will feel uneasy, timid and inferior.
It may be very unbelievable to people who don't know her, but Hitzfeld believes that this situation exists: Xia Yibing is a little worried about gains and losses in this relationship, and she even feels that she does not deserve these things.
That's why she is like this.
That's why she changed so much during the time they lived together underground... That's because she's not good at expressing herself, so she can only give back to her in this way.
Whether it was dressing up, learning to cook, or arguing with Sixus for her.
That's why he was so angry because she insisted on fighting for the so-called freedom even at the cost of selling out her own personal values.
She probably felt that her efforts were in vain. She definitely wanted to continue this kind of life, but she found that this might just be her wishful thinking.
She immediately retreated psychologically and began to return to the state of anxiety, timidity and inferiority. It was precisely because she was afraid of losing this relationship that she struggled and violently left these marks on her body.
Hitzfeld felt that he understood it all.
So when she hugged the woman, told her softly like coaxing a child that she was not angry, that she understood all her actions, and analyzed everything for her in a very systematic way, the woman finally had a real emotional outburst.
It was no longer inferiority, nor resentment, but a surge of love and possessiveness like a tsunami.
Hitzfeld immediately regretted it. She shouldn't have acted so gentle. The only whispers she heard before she fell asleep were those fierce nicknames. It was as if the other party wanted to engrave all the emotions into her bones through words, leaving no room for refusal.
When she woke up the next day and recalled everything, her first reaction was to touch her left eye.
What was going on… Yesterday wasn’t Friday, nor was it an eternal night. Even though she was indeed very tired and sleepy, shouldn’t she have been able to fall asleep right away?
"Are you really conscious, or is this just a coincidence or an accident?"
When Xia Yibing came in, she found that she was naked and standing naked in front of the mirror, talking to herself.
"Clothes—" She reminded her, "I put them next to the bed for you."
