Start with the Readers Chapter 543: The ownership of the box
After Elaine left the room with some doubts, Abner squeezed his chin and asked Xio who was also thoughtful: "Is Baron Larry the one who was dragged by the living corpses and werewolves in the hall?" The 'Punishment Knight'?"
"Yes... this is indeed a bit strange... Logically speaking, even if someone got something in the hall, it should be the 'Reaper' Colonel Myron who had no opponent at that time..." Xio said hesitantly.
"There must be something we don't know about it... You know, the matter of 'capturing Baron Larry' was supposed to be a secret of your MI9, but the person who just summoned it told a The maid... seems to be leaking information on purpose." Abner thought for a while and analyzed.
Xiu pursed his lips, and suddenly sighed: "It feels like the Loen military is full of conspiracies...it seems like everyone has it..."
Although she does not have much sense of belonging to MI9, she is a full member of it after all, so it is somewhat complicated.
That's not because George III wanted to become a god. In order to hide it from the Orthodox Church, he naturally had to sacrifice some interests and cooperate with some secret organizations...and since there is cooperation, we must not be too serious about some of their small actions. Even fueling the flames... It will inevitably become more and more chaotic.
Although Abner knew the root of the crux in his heart, he couldn't talk to Xio, and only told her to meet Her Highness Vera as soon as possible.
That princess is a member of the royal family after all, so she will definitely not be assigned too dangerous a task. Hugh can get credit for following her, and won't be easily treated as cannon fodder or abandoned son.
"I understand..." Xio nodded, then packed her luggage, and when she was about to leave, she looked in the direction of the basement with some reluctance, and murmured: "I still haven't soaked in a hot spring..."
Although she passed the internal inquiry of MI9, she did not have any problems. Even in order to avoid being "prophesied" or "divinated", Abner did not tell her the specific situation of the "boat ticket" because The calculated time for the "Empire of Ghosts" to dock at the pier will be June next year at the earliest, so Abner is not in a hurry to inform others, lest the secrets be leaked.
But MI9 still sent a small team to watch her from afar.
Speaking of which, although that team was acting secretly, it still couldn't hide it from Abner's eyes, so he knew everything about the other party's heartbeat.
However, because of their existence, it is difficult for Abner to activate the "Teleportation Altar" to avoid being discovered.
Hearing Xio's regret, Abner smiled and said: "After your mission is completed, can you go anytime? Moreover, I have had people covertly replace a lot of Feysac's King Horn , then you can buy that hot spring hotel.”
"Okay." Xio nodded, and habitually wanted to raise his hand to grab his yellow hair, but then remembered that he had spent a lot of time grooming them before the Tarot meeting, so he couldn't help but stop again.
"Abner, I have something to ask you for help." Xio raised his head and said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Abner asked curiously.
"The hat on your maid's head that can change the 'hairstyle'...I want one too."
…
Bayam, in the small three-story building where MI9 is located, military demigods Tester and Georgina are questioning a local person in charge of intelligence:
"Who asked you to spread the news about us in the 'Capture of Baron Larry'?!"
"Your Excellency... is... Colonel Myron's order..." The person in charge replied tremblingly.
"Myron?" Tester and Georgina looked at each other and asked again, "He told you that Baron Larry took the box?"
"It seems to be..." The person in charge tried hard to recall, and sweat dripped down his forehead.
"What is it like?" Duchess Georgina frowned and asked.
"It's just... I remember Baron Larry taking the box, but I can't remember how I knew..."
The person in charge said a few words as if in a dream, and then came to his senses, "By the way, I only remember the result when Colonel Myron asked me to spread the news...but when did I meet the colonel and where did I meet?" I can’t remember all of them.”
"Can't remember?" Tester waved the person in charge to leave, then walked around the room with a frown, and then asked the Duchess Georgina who was wearing a black evening dress: "What do you think?"
The Duchess Georgina thought about it and analyzed:
"According to Mountbatten, the box was taken away by Myron and Card, and it has nothing to do with 'Larry'...
"However, if Myron wanted to divert his attention, it would be too stupid, and it is not like what a regular MI9 officer would do.
"Of course, maybe there is a problem with the box itself... The 'Prisoner' path is good at cursing. It's not impossible for him to be magnified by his 'desire', distorted his thoughts, and even replaced by another person."
"That makes sense..." Tester nodded, and continued, "But it doesn't rule out that a third party is messing up the water!
"Maybe, they just want to mislead us to give up tracking Larry and go to Tyron instead...
"But the reverse is also possible...
"Even, if you expand your thinking, their purpose is to let us split up and find those two ~IndoMTL.com~ and the real target is Card?
"It depends on how well our opponents know us..."
Georgina thought for a moment, then spread her hands and said, "This way I fell into a thinking trap... just like Roselle's joke: 'I predicted your prediction, you have a prediction, I predict you The prediction of...'."
"Yes, we have to find a way to regain the initiative..." Tester pondered for a while, as if remembering something, he asked, "Is Vera coming to Bayam soon?"
"Yes, it will arrive tomorrow at the latest... Do you think so?" Georgina's eyes lit up after she replied.
"Vera's promotion to demigod, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes don't know yet... In this way, we can divide into three ways.
"Let Vera lead the team to hunt down Larry, you lead the team to find Tyron, and I go to find Kade... In this way, the three parties have demigods to follow, and there is no fear of the people behind the scenes playing tricks. "
Test is full of confidence.
Next, after the two finalized the details, they ended the meeting.
However, before Tester returned to his lounge, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Are Prince Mountbatten's words really believable? Even if he was questioned by me and Georgina when he was in the Southern Continent...
But he immediately forgot this idea and pushed open the door of the lounge.
…
On a battleship that had just escaped the range of the violent sea, Prince Mountbatten stared at the calm sea that was completely different from the sea behind him, and asked Vera who was also looking at the sea: "Auntie, why are we going to Bayam? "
Vera turned her head to the side, gave him a meaningful look, and answered irrelevantly: "You'd better be careful when you get to Bayam... After all, I might not go with you..."
As she spoke, she glanced at a seagull with black eye circles on the mast.
