Is there some secret involved?
Should we have secrets between us?
"I will...explain it to you..."
Hitzfeld didn't turn around, but she could tell that her tone sounded like she was suppressing something.
"Send Black Owl to find me..."
"I'll write to you."
My wrist was freed, and in a daze, the figure in front of me disappeared.
"Ok!"
The spirit reawakened in the body. Xia Yibing jumped out of bed and walked to the window to look at the sea, staring at the place where the girl disappeared.
Suddenly a telegram arrived.
"what's up."
"There's news from Outpost No. 4!"
“They saw that girl on the beach again!!!”
Chapter 60 Bad News, Good News
A dark interrogation room.
The two people who were on duty at the No. 4 outpost last night were brought in, and were not surprised to find Xia Yibing sitting outside the railing.
"Director." The two men stood up stiffly, "Why are you here..."
"Say again what you said to others." Xia Yibing didn't look up, but just sat there with her legs crossed, flipping through a confession book in her hand.
This is about the testimony.
They were all people in the system, and the two agents were very sensible. They didn't say anything more, and told all the details of what they saw while on duty last night.
"Our duty time is 5:30, 5:30 in the afternoon... Bill's group will be replaced, and then we will go up and start sending and receiving telegrams and observing the situation."
"Everything was fine in the first half of the night, there were no problems... Of course we watched very carefully. Although this is not the eternal night, and there are still a few days before the eternal night, after all, that kind of thing happened just before, so we dare not relax at all."
"Before the second half of the night, nothing happened, but Baoli kept saying that someone at Outpost 3 had seen a young girl on the beach, so when I remembered it later, I turned the camera and looked at the beaches in the southeast direction."
"No... I didn't see her the first time. I did this three times in total, with 3-5 minutes in between. I saw her the third time. I was sure it was a girl in a skirt."
"Height? I can't tell. It's too far away... I have no reference point, but I don't think he's very tall."
"I can't see her face clearly... There's a circle of bright blue substance around her body, a bit like a school of fish in the Spirit Sea, or similar to those small fluorescent jellyfish."
"It lasted very short, about 18 seconds from the time I spotted her to the time she disappeared - I asked Evans to keep an eye on the second hand, and the error was no more than 1 second."
"And then she disappeared... Yeah, she never showed up again, at least not while we were up there."
It took Xia Yibing just over ten minutes to testify. Afterwards, she walked out with an expressionless face. A fat-bearded agent was waiting for her outside.
This man's name is Rug Mendy, the person she appointed as the case leader yesterday. He and Xia Yibing found tiny blood spots on the telescope in the safe house at Outpost No. 3, and it was this achievement that made him stand out.
Of course, strictly speaking, it's not just about his achievements, there's also some... inexplicable things about him... In short, Xia Yibing thinks he is very suitable for this task, even though he has actually always been very lazy.
"Found anything, Boss?"
Ruge-Mendy no longer called her Director as he did before. He felt proud of his promotion and wanted to elevate his status among others by addressing her as a confidant.
Xia Yibing did not stop him. If it were any other time, she might have done so, but she didn't have the heart to do so now.
She even waited until Ruger asked the second time before she realized that someone was asking her a question, even though it was just a subordinate's cautious test of his superior, and it would be too rude not to answer.
So she whispered to him, in a voice that only Ruger could hear: "For me personally, yes."
"?"
Ruger stood there in a daze for a long while, not understanding what she meant.
Xia Yibing walked away, and he quickly caught up with her, walking half a step behind her. He wisely changed the subject and asked her, "You definitely don't know what happened last night."
"What else happened?"
"Didn't you take Perez and Fermaud out and put them in custody?"
Xia Yibing paused and turned to look at him: "Those two people are in trouble too?"
"Firmod is fine." Ruger shook his head. "He's still half crazy, but Lil is dead."
"How did you die?"
"Becoming a monster, the 'blood corrupter', and then dying with pus and blood all over the body."
Xia Yibing stood there with her eyes half closed, not saying anything for a long time.
Ruger simply continued to report on his own: "Dr. Qiao led people to deal with the scene. They threw the makeshift safe house into the smelting furnace and burned it to ashes. No trace was left. All those who had contact with Lil Perez are now isolated, including the Perez couple who are still grieving."
Then he paused deliberately, and seeing that Xia Yibing still didn't speak, he said, "How do you see it now...?"
"Is Jia Lei okay?" Xia Yibing asked him.
"Firmode is not." Ruger was sure, "There is nothing abnormal - if that kind of half-madness is not abnormal."
"You know what?" He suddenly lowered his voice, "Now many people are discussing your wise decision... From what I know, there are quite a few old guys who have never obeyed you, and now they are silent."
He was very glad - and he admired this woman. There might be people who thought that there was something wrong with those two people at that time, but not everyone had the courage to do so the next moment they realized it.
Especially since the next Eternal Night is still a few days away, it is definitely not because of His Majesty's relationship that Xiasha-Imaer can sit in this position.
"This is basic quality." Xia Yibing continued to walk forward. "I foresaw the result, but what's the use? I can't even save the lives of my subordinates. I thought you would have higher requirements for the director."
Normally, this is not something a superior would say to a subordinate. But this fat guy is special, and Xia Yibing is relatively confident in him.
The files and information have been checked, and there is no problem with the person, so she won't have any doubts once she starts using him.
As for the "discovery of her own existence" that she had just told Ruger...
She didn't say it because it was difficult to say.
After all, the mysterious girl and Hitzfeld appeared in almost the same place and time, so at this stage, the fewer people who know this information, the better.
"How is Garay now?"
"It's isolated, and there's a glass cover so there's no need to worry about the virus leaking out."
"Go see him first."
"and then?"
"Then?"
He opened the car door, sat in front of the fat man, and Xia Yibing raised his hat.
"Then you take care of them, and I'll go back to writing."
……
"Bang!"
A figure rolled out of bed, knocking over the ritual candles as he landed on the floor.
Hitzfeld was so busy struggling to wake up that she forgot what the scenery was outside. She felt dizzy and fell on her butt, with her fleshy buttocks hitting a short candle. She grimaced in pain and even cried.
I quickly reached out and touched it.
Fortunately, I was not injured because I was wearing thick pantyhose.
The candle had been extinguished long ago, so it would not catch fire on the fabric.
"Body owner!" Walnut exclaimed from the side.
Pinocchio quickly stepped forward and helped the girl up. Without waiting for Hitzfeld to say "thank you", she simply picked her up horizontally by her legs and put her back on the bed as gently as possible.
HITZFEIL: ?
"Where's Ashley."
As she asked, she looked around the room, but couldn't find where the strong girl was hiding.
"The little master has to go to school tomorrow morning, so I let her go and rest first." Walnut said.
In her eyes, the Knight Academy is also a kind of school.
"You did a good job." Hitzfeld relaxed a little. She would have arranged it the same way if she had been awake at the time.
But the thing that concerned her most had not yet been asked.
"My condition." She stared at Kurumi, "Is there anything unusual during this period?"
"No." Walnut's head shook like a rattle.
"Not at all?"
"You have been sleeping the whole time, Master." Walnut said, "This is the first time you woke up."
"……what time is it now."
"It's 5 ., and the day is almost dawn, Master."
"It doesn't get light that early in the winter."
With a smile, Hitzfeld's mental strings relaxed, and she could completely bury her body in the mattress and enjoy the softness.
Even if only for a little while.
She was nervous and anxious to come back, even rolling off the bed without caring about her image, because she was afraid that the mysterious master was causing trouble for her outside.
That nightmare was not a simple dream, but more like a ritual, a passage constructed by a mysterious master. One end of it was at Hitzfell Manor, hidden in her consciousness; the other end was at Dongquan Island, connected to Xia.
Only in this way can we explain why Xia's spirit was also torn off according to the nightmare script. And Hitzfeld originally did not intend to enter the world behind the screen or to unseal the dead bone ice needle. She wanted to use this thing together with the natural magic ball to suppress the mysterious master.
But she saw Xia.
She had to do it.
During the unblocking period, the mysterious master could control her body and issue orders at any time. If Walnut and Ashley were a little slow to react, something big might happen...
Even though Hitzfeld thought she would make the same choice if she had the chance again, she would inevitably feel guilty and sad.
Fortunately, nothing unusual happened.
After instructing Walnut to keep an eye on him during this period and to smear ointment on her face if he showed any abnormality, Hitzfeld returned to the bedroom from this room, sat at the desk and opened his notes.
[What do you want to do?]
Dead bones and icy needles were lurking around, and the tip of the pen was outlining characters on the paper.
After waiting for a while, the arm began to spontaneously control the pen to reply:
[I'm doing what you've always wanted to do.]
"You're going to kill her."
She spoke to it word by word.
"You think I dare not destroy this eye?"
[You are too concerned with appearance.]
The handwriting reads.
[Have you ever thought that if such a secret realm really existed, the remaining spirits and flying spirits that had leaped over the Dragon Gate over thousands or tens of thousands of years, the best among them, would be nourished and complete their evolution there, and they could already be considered a completely new race.]
"so what."
[The new system you want can start from Linghai.]
Hitzfeld stared at the words and fell silent.
After waiting for a long time without receiving any response, he raised his right hand again.
[Actually——wait!]
No more waiting.
The dead bone ice needles pierced through his eyes, the cold and dark gold intertwined in the space, and finally returned to darkness - he was covered by the blindfold again.
After completing the sealing of something again, Hitzfeld sat in the chair in a daze for a long time.
Bad news, she was basically certain that the mysterious master had a secret plan, but she was not sure whether this plan was good or bad for Sarah, nor did she know more details.
