"Isn't it?" The Baron's envoy was obviously not on the same level as her, and frowned when he heard it: "How difficult is it to deal with Aisun Hitzfeld alone? A little girl who is not even twenty years old... it's fine to deal with it! What really makes us wary is His Majesty's attitude towards her! She is now a popular person in the palace!! "
Hitzfeld frowned at the sight of someone so easily controlling her. She admitted that she felt a little rebellious.
Cultivate your character, cultivate your character... How long has she been cultivating her character? But let's take a look at what strange troubles she encountered in this month?
This time even her body had problems!
Now she knew that the shells fired at the manor might have been secretly provided by a great noble who coveted the natural orb in her hand... She decided that she must give those people a big bang this time, otherwise this kind of trouble would never end in the future.
"She is not as simple as you think." Hitzfeld brought the messenger to the corner and fabricated a thrilling chase and gun battle, and then said: "Since you know that she is a favorite of the White Shadow Palace, and the White Shadow Palace has been paying attention to her, you don't think that there will be no black clothes guarding her during her rest time?"
"Are you referring to those guys who have been running errands outside?" The Baron's messenger's face twitched, but he still looked unconcerned. "They are not a threat to you! They can't get into the manor... but you said you could get in!"
Okay.
Hitzfeld kept frowning on the surface, but he felt relieved in his heart.
It seems that the mysterious master is not stupid. He also knows that he must conceal his identity from these jackals. The information and secrets revealed so far are very limited.
But what exactly does it want to do?
When it turned against me in the end, it said it would bring me back to the throne. I don’t think the word “return” is used randomly…
"I need more resource support." Hitzfeld seemed a little nonchalant. She found it boring to reason with this person. He was a dull and stupid person, not someone like Nian Lun who could easily hear her hidden meaning.
"You have burned at least thirty thousand Sera's resources!"
"Some things are priceless." She said immediately, "It depends on how you choose."
“Why did things turn out like this?”
"Two people visited her some time ago. If your information channels are as good as you boast, then you should know what's going on."
"So what?"
"They, or perhaps one of them, provided her with a new drug that could counteract the potion I made. This means that my current methods are ineffective against her. This is why I delayed coming for so many days."
The Baron's envoy was stunned at first, not knowing whether he had thought of something. Hitzfeld saw him turn his head away and move his lips in the shadow.
She guessed he was swearing.
"What support do you want?" Then he turned back and asked Hitzfeld fiercely, "You said it yourself last time. If this potion can't fool her, then there is basically no hope... What other means do you have? Can you seduce her?"
"Simple." Hitzfeld tried his best to look very serious and formal.
"I need a batch of steel, a factory-level power generation equipment, and a mechanical vehicle that can be used to produce high-precision parts. And it would be best if I could get three more of that batch of materials."
"You're dreaming!" The messenger was stunned. He looked around and then at the "short guy" in front of him, gritting his teeth and said, "After Skye Airlines collapsed, those things were controlled by the royal family... Do you know how big a risk this is?"
"You can think of this as me testing your strength." Hitzfeld was not afraid of threats. "Baron Kagel is not the only one who wants the Nature Orb, right? If I contact other people, I believe they will not hesitate."
"You are playing with fire, Mr. Wizard." The messenger suddenly regained his composure, so calm that it was abnormal. Hitzfeld almost thought that he had revealed a flaw somewhere.
"I will report your request, but whether it will be approved or not is not my business."
"Of course." Hitzfeld said smoothly.
"But I still have a question, why did you happen to be in this place?"
The baron's envoy had regained his composure, but upon hearing this, his face immediately turned stern and he turned away without saying a word.
Also.
Hitzfeld raised the corner of his mouth.
What else can you do in a bank or a gold shop?
It is nothing more than a savings operation. This person is most likely withdrawing money.
Considering what they need to spend the money on recently, this money is probably, should, be for her.
Then she began to think about the information she had gained from communicating with the other party.
Baron Kager's men certainly could not have guessed the existence of the mysterious master. They were probably just keeping watch as usual. It was the mysterious master who came out and acted on his own, thinking he could use them.
From this point of view, at least there are no evil followers left in Heimu. If it wants to avoid its perception and not use the savings, it can only reach out to these fat sheep.
Next, Hitzfeld wondered what these people’s attitude toward him was.
He just said "cheat" and "bewitch", right?
It seems that these nobles' so-called treatment of me is not to kill me...
No, it's hard to say... No matter how you think about it, killing Aisuen Hitzfell would be the better solution once and for all, but they lack a capable agent to take the blame for them and divert the anger that would be emanating from the White Shadow Palace afterwards.
Then this is different from the supernatural events that happened to me.
A bit annoying, but not a bad thing.
After confirming that the supernatural power on her body was completely controlled by the mysterious master, and that most likely no other characters were involved, Hitzfeld was greatly relieved - this meant that she was absolutely safe for the time being, and she could devote her energy to finding a way to deal with the other party.
She had no idea what to do, and she didn't even have the mood to think about it now, because there was still something she needed to do before the next eternal night came.
"How did you get out of the mountains?"
As she stepped out of the gate, the messenger who had been waiting for a long time asked her.
"Can you live with her? Have you gained her trust?"
"She has a housekeeper by her side recently. Could it be that you arranged this?"
Hitzfeld said nothing, pretending to be profound.
"Don't look down on the people you are in contact with." The messenger narrowed his eyes. "I know that money seems powerless compared to what you control, but money can do a lot of things, much more than you think."
“Can you buy life?”
The messenger curled his lips, as if he was angry again.
"We'll meet here later." Hitzfeld ignored him. "Whether I get what I want or not, I'll come back next Monday."
Chapter 43: Immediate Decision
Just as Hitzfeld was planning to ride his bike back as quickly as possible in the morning when there were fewer people around, the atmosphere on Dongquan Island was drastically different at the same time.
At the research institute, Xia Yibing was sitting in the interrogation room. Behind the iron bars was her deputy, Gare Fermaud.
Of course, this was just a formality, because the small door next to it was not closed at all, not to mention that Gare wanted to roll in by himself.
"You still can't remember anything else?" Xia Yibing asked him, "Then what do you want to do? If you can't remember anything, will you just stay here and not go out?"
"I'm sorry... Head." Gare's weak voice came from the corner, "I... I think I may have some psychological problems. I'm a little afraid to face the outside world..."
Xia Yibing frowned, walked forward quickly, and looked towards that location.
As the angle changed, the darkness and shadows gradually receded, revealing a bearded man curled up in the corner.
He was very sloppy. Not only had he not taken a shower for several days, he hadn't even shaved, and his hair was very greasy.
This person seemed to be a completely different person from the shrewd and capable deputy. Xia Yibing didn't understand. Even if what the other party said was indeed terrifying, how could he be hit like this?
This is Dongquan Island, which is considered the second base of the Security Bureau. The guy who can become her deputy can't be so useless that he can be scared like this easily.
No matter how you look at it, it's unbelievable. Xia Yibing's repeated attempts to persuade her have been fruitless. She could only suppress her anger and turn around to leave.
"Wait!" Gare called her from behind.
"I want to replace the fence with glass."
"What did you say?" Xia Yibing widened her eyes and for a moment thought she had misheard.
"I want to replace the fence with glass!" Gare said loudly in a firm tone, "These things can't protect me!... They can still get in... I want glass! I want glass!!"
"He has gone mad."
The scene changed to the laboratory hall, where a woman was pushing a wheelchair and the person in the wheelchair was speaking softly.
"His nerve tissue should have changed from before, but with the current technical conditions, we can't even find out where the problem is, let alone help him get that faulty nerve back on track."
"It's not that easy." Xia Yibing rolled her eyes.
She knew the other party was joking. This problem could not be solved by medical progress, and Gare's problem was not as simple as "a wrong nerve was connected."
"Can I ask again what he said before?" Grey Joe looked at her sideways, "You know, Xia Sha, my memory is a little..."
"The three of them encountered the 'Corrupted Blood' at Outpost No. 3." Xia Yibing said.
"Corrupted Blood?"
"Yes... This is the name that Gare gave me. I thought it was appropriate so I just used it... According to his and another survivor's description, that thing was transformed into a spiritual sea creature by the virus and could control those fish... You should know that this 'fish' refers to all of them."
"It means that all species that appear in the Spirit Sea can be controlled." Dr. Qiao nodded, "We have determined the source of the Spirit Sea virus, but we still don't know what is going on with the Spirit Sea itself."
Xia Yibing didn't say anything. After all, this was indeed a big project - the source of the Spirit Sea had not been found out for many years. Seeing that Grayjo wanted to delve into this, to be honest, she didn't have any expectations.
"And then?" the old man asked again, "I remember that thing... the Corrupted Blood... they wanted to mate with him?"
"...That's right." Xia Yibing's eyelids couldn't help but jump. "According to their description, those things showed obvious interest in them. Originally, the fish outside would not pay attention to the obstacle at all, but because the Corrupted Blood Ones were paying attention to them, the fish squeezed over."
"And they broke the barrier?"
"If that's the case, the whole island is now under martial law, and the logistics department must be organizing the evacuation."
"Oh, that's right... We can't stay in such a dangerous place..."
"They didn't break the barrier." Xia Yibing's voice was very soft, but one could still hear her reciting the sentence word by word: "Rosie Ian ran out by himself."
Yes, that's what disturbed her the most, and everyone who knew about it.
Rossi-Ian was seeking his own death. According to Lille's description afterwards, the reason might be that he had been drinking - the alcohol paralyzed his mind, making him more easily bewitched and controlled by that frequency signal.
The island has enacted and enforced the strictest alcohol prohibition in history, but Xia Yibing is still uneasy because she checked the wine that Rossi drank and found that its alcohol content was really low.
If even this level of alcohol paralysis is enough to allow humans to be controlled by the Corrupted Blood, can people who don't drink at all really rest easy?
Even if it is possible now, what about the future? What about later?
The Spirit Sea appears once a week, and it will be almost over in three days. They will most likely have to face those things again.
Who can be sure that the Corrupted Blood's methods will not escalate?
Being a superior means you have to plan three steps ahead. Xia Yibing had a headache. She couldn't think of how to deal with this matter for the time being.
After pushing the old man out to bask in the sun for a while, she entered the prison section from another corridor of the institute and found another survivor, Lil Perez.
Unlike the frightened Gare, Lille, who is younger and can even be described as a teenager, is much calmer. He can still manage his daily life normally, still needs to clean himself every day, and knows what dishes he wants to eat.
It was breakfast time. His immediate superior came and asked him to put down his utensils and bowls and stand at attention, saying loudly, "Agent, Perez sends his regards!"
"Put aside those rules." The woman sat on a stool brought by her subordinates and also looked at Lille through the iron bars.
"Tell me again what happened after Rossi opened the door."
"But……"
"If you are asked to say it, just say it."
"Okay." Lil swallowed, a look of fear on his face.
"I was completely shocked and didn't know what to do. I heard Fermoed yelling at him, but I couldn't stop him. He pulled the door open and jumped out."
Many detectives who were brought in to listen to the trial for the first time looked at each other in confusion at this moment.
Outpost No. 3 is seven stories high, so it’s nearly 20 meters above the ground, right?
So did Rosie-Ian fall to his death?
"But he didn't fall directly to the ground!" Lil's tone became excited, "He... We immediately went over to look down. He was still falling at first, but soon he changed from falling to floating... and then..."
"It emitted bright blue spots from its body surface, and then it turned into that kind of thing?" Xia Yibing tried to help him complete the story.
In fact, she was just here to check her testimony. She had just heard these things a few days ago and knew what happened next.
But what she didn't expect was that Lil was shaking his head.
"no……"
"He didn't become them..."
"In the beginning... he was still in human form... although he was blue... but he was a human..."
"But that thing rushed over quickly...to him..."
"vomit--"
Lill couldn't say any more, he suddenly bent over and vomited out everything he had eaten.
