"She'll come on her own when she sees you."
Chapter 54 Final Preparations
"One of you stands up and the other lies down. Are you playing a relay race?"
After getting up from the bed and finishing the diagnosis of the female sheriff, Conte-Sixus spoke to the person beside her in her unique sarcastic tone.
"How is she?" Hitzfeld was not going to argue with her on this issue. He simply ignored the ridicule and asked about her condition anxiously.
"Just as you expected, there is no problem." Sixus nodded a few times. "There is a lot of pollen in that book. If one person inhales it alone, it may be fatal. Fortunately, you were there at the time and helped her absorb some of it."
Just like taking too many sleeping pills can cause death, sleeping powder should not be used indiscriminately - there is a reason why gold-eating pollen is listed as a controlled material.
"It's been another day since we last met, Lily~"
In the back, Lu Xier was playing the tickling game with the big white dog, "Don't move your paws away... Do you miss me?"
Lily opened her mouth several times to bite her, but the Sheldon's high intelligence enabled it to distinguish that this was its owner's friend, so it had to lie there and whimper at the teasing of the red-haired nurse.
"Why didn't Dreyerman even let the dog go?" Sixus frowned and glanced at him, and when he turned back, he looked at the girl with a strange look in his eyes.
"She wasn't like this before... She had some tendencies but they weren't obvious. She changed drastically after she met you guys."
Hitzfeld's eyelids twitched.
She remembered that Lu Xi'er seemed to have said that among all the patients she had treated, her feet were the best looking, which always aroused her desire to treat them.
You can't blame me for this, right?
"Anyway, your sweetheart is fine." Xixus lowered his voice slightly and looked at her. "The gold-eating pollen only has a hypnotic effect. According to what you said, she has been sleeping for almost 12 hours, so she should be waking up soon. She will recover after a few days of recuperation."
There were some things she didn't want to say too clearly, so she just stared at Hitzfeld, expecting her to give an explanation.
You are a perfume maker, so you must be aware of the consequences. Why did you call me and others so urgently? You can't have so many people doing scientific research around a nonsensical book.
In fact, Sixus was more curious about where she got these two books, but the girl insisted on not telling her, and she had no choice but to assume that she had made some other discovery.
"The case is already half solved."
But Hitzfeld's next words surprised her. "I have figured out why this mess happened, but I'm not sure how he did it and where he is hiding now."
"'He'?" After catching the specific gender pronoun, Sixus asked: "Have you locked on the suspect?"
"Yes."
"How sure are you?"
"hundred percent."
"Who is he?"
"Brichel Atlans."
Isn't this the engraver she discovered?
Sixus was stunned.
He left carvings on the cave walls detailing the evil deeds Descartes had done to him.
So the other party must have been corrupted and turned into a monster. So he wanted revenge? By killing people in the town of Bartlett, he wanted to attract Descartes Knight to come and settle the old feud with him?
It can’t be said to be unexpected, because this logic...everyone had some guesses after Hitzfeld explained the content of the engraving.
It can be said that the conclusion was very ordinary and very unfulfilling.
"There's a problem." The mixed-haired loli frowned, "If it's him, then he must have been corrupted a long time ago... when he was betrayed by Deka Lavos."
"Yes." The girl nodded.
"That was a long time ago!" Sixus raised his voice slightly, "Thirty years in between? Or forty years... His corruption couldn't have taken that long to complete. Why didn't he do it before, but wait until now?"
"Maybe he is adapting to this power..."
A faint voice floated from below, "A corrupted person can't do such a thing... He must have had another adventure in the sea..."
"Xia!" Hitzfeld looked at the woman in surprise and lowered his body. "You're awake."
"I woke up a long time ago..." Xia Yibing said in a voice as small as a mosquito's hum, "I've been listening to you guys talking for a long time... I think I should express my opinion..."
"Publish a fart!"
A water bottle with a nipple on the front was poked directly into her mouth.
"Ai Suen, take it... Don't you want to teach her a lesson? I guess you must have been bullied a lot."
"...I didn't!" Hitzfeld's face quickly turned red, and her hands unconsciously grabbed her skirt. It was not until she noticed the doctor's smirk that she realized that her behavior was no less than direct consent.
The more she talked at a time like this, the more mistakes she would make. So she simply shut up, took the kettle, and began to squeeze the water into the woman's throat.
"Gu..." Xia Yibing's eyes widened, but she had only eaten a piece of potato since morning, so she was really thirsty and hungry. Seeing that she couldn't resist, she simply opened up and enjoyed it. She took the pacifier in her mouth and drank all the water in the bottle in one breath.
After drinking, he burped and glanced at the girl's chest intentionally or unintentionally.
"..." Hitzfeld gave her a warning look.
The woman raised her eyebrows and the smile on her face quickly widened.
"So can you tell me exactly what happened?"
After drinking the water, her voice recovered a little, "God's Eyes Retracing... You must have seen something in there."
There is nothing to hide now. Sixus is not an outsider. Hitzfeld nodded and revealed everything he saw in the projection.
"Even if Descartes himself were here, he probably couldn't explain it in more detail."
Sixus sighed after listening to this.
"I've said it before...those scholars need to be strictly controlled."
The absurdity of the matter, that the research on the redwood nautilus had developed to the point of attempting to destroy the world, was something she could never have imagined even though she had seen a lot of the world.
Destroying the world - this is not an exaggeration. If Hitzfeld's description is not fictional, then Bricher probably hopes to use this evil method to bring everything in the world back to unity, so as to create true equality.
But the magical thing is that the creatures he transformed are not evil.
Sixus couldn't understand this... Wasn't he a corruptor?
"disturb……"
There was some movement at the door. "I heard someone wants to call a meeting?"
It's Bill.
Hitzfeld saw him push the door open, holding his thick cane as usual.
He did not come alone, following him were Ms. Feti, his assistant Andy, Golden Knight Dailin, and even Jindu.
"Now it's time to eat..."
Jindo cursed and scratched his head.
"Calling someone over at a time like this...Okay, just tell me what's going on?"
"We have a basic clue to the case," Hitzfeld said.
Is she serious?
All the visitors stared at her - even Xixusi and Xia Yibing beside her had faces full of astonishment.
That's not what she just said.
She kept saying that the case was only half solved... At best, we now know the cause, but there is still the link of catching the murderer! ... Is this link even the most important?
"I already know who the murderer is, and I almost know where he is hiding."
Hitzfeld continued to speak, continuing to stir up waves in everyone's hearts.
"Now I hope everyone can cooperate. The tasks to be assigned next are crucial to whether we can catch the murderer."
"Just say it," Bill said softly, his eyes narrowed.
"As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
After working on the beach for more than a month, the gloomy atmosphere and the wailing of the victims' families are enough to move anyone who has experienced it.
He had been annoyed with this cunning guy for a long time and wished he could catch him and give him a beating.
Others also expressed their willingness to help. Hitzfeld was very satisfied and began to assign tasks immediately.
"Bill, send someone back to the town, and Dai Lin should go too. Your mission is to take all the residents of the town away."
"no problem--"
Bill nodded reflexively, then froze when he realized what was happening: "...Ah?"
what did she say?
Take all the residents of the town away?
That’s tens of thousands of people… Is the situation not that bad?
The female knight also looked shocked. She instinctively reached out to touch her freckles, and forgot to close her lips when they opened.
"Do as she says."
Xia Yibing struggled to sit up and gave orders to Bill as the director.
"I will bear all the consequences."
"Then we have to set off now." Bill's expression changed and he looked at Dai Lin. "This is a big project, Knight Blue, I need to borrow your prestige..."
"I'll do my best to help." Dai Lin nodded.
The two wanted to leave, but Hitzfeld stopped them, "Don't be in a hurry!"
She signaled with her eyes to the Sheldon lying next to her.
"The transfer of tens of thousands of people is no joke... We need help finding and rescuing people."
"Lil Hill."
"what?"
"Take Lily with you."
Chapter 55 His Name
After being assigned their tasks, each person was interviewed individually by Hitzfeld for a period of time.
There must be some details that need to be kept secret. Even if the girl didn't say it, they guessed it must be related to catching the murderer. Therefore, except for Jin Du, no one was smart enough to ask more questions.
Seven days passed in a hurry, and finally news came from the other side of the ridge - all the residents of the beach town had been evacuated.
Now, the whole town was empty. Relying on Dai Lin's prestige, all the townspeople fled with their families. Everyone traveled lightly and brought almost no property, because the agent from the capital promised to solve the supply problem.
Location: Barry Chapel, Beach Town.
Characters: Hitzfeld, Xia Yibing, Dai Lin, Bill, Lu Xier and Lily.
"All personnel have been transferred." Bill was reporting the situation to Xia Yibing. "Those who were unwilling to leave were forcibly taken away. They didn't bring much with them. Supplies are a big problem. The rations and water we can provide now can only last for a day and a half at most."
"A day and a half is enough." Hitzfeld commented calmly, "Even if it's not enough, compared to the possible crisis, being hungry for two days is not that hard to endure."
"...Can I know what kind of disaster will happen here, Hitzfeld?" Dailin finally couldn't help but ask her.
Bill looked over at the same time.
Indeed, I believe everyone is extremely curious about this question.
The details of each person's mission are kept confidential, but the trajectory of their actions is there, so you can tell roughly what each person is doing just by looking at it.
Bill's own mission was to evacuate the townspeople with Dalein, or at least take them to the other end of the ridge.
As for the missions of others, according to his observation, Dr. Conte-Sixus was directly transferred away and disappeared mysteriously. No one knew what he was doing. And his new boss, Director Imaer...during this period, he frequently exchanged letters with Wayne without concealing it, and transferred a large number of ships and warships, which were now parked in the open sea.
Will Doctor Sixus be on the fleet?
He didn't know... He had no idea what this series of transfers were for.
It's too much of a fuss.
It doesn't seem like they are trying to arrest the murderer of a heinous case, but rather like they are preparing to deal with some natural disaster.
But what kind of natural disasters could happen in a place like this?
