Such a huge workload obviously cannot be completed in one day.
Kel'Thuzad and Jack spent two days investigating all suspected targets.
During this period, Kel'Thuzad finally got used to the consumption of dragon language magic. As long as the spell range was controlled within a radius of 100 meters, he would not feel too tired.
It's just that Gadgetzan's city area is nearly 8,000 square kilometers, and Kel'Thuzad's spell covers more than 30,000 square meters, which is really a drop in the bucket.
After workers were resettled in dormitories in the old city, the two discovered traces of the Shadow Curse in the residential areas of many workers' families. However, during Jack's visit, they found nothing as before.
In order not to alert the enemy, after discovering the traces of the Shadow Curse, Kel'Thuzad did not rush to erase the time spell that covered them, but continued to investigate the factory with Jack.
However, what disappointed the two of them was that they didn't notice even the slightest trace of the Shadow Curse in the factory area!
It was already evening, and Kel'Thuzad and Jack stood tiredly on a higher street overlooking the blocks below.
"how so?!"
Kel'Thuzad now somewhat understood why Li De liked to smoke whenever he was troubled.
"Has there been any news from the relevant leaders of the factory?"
After cherishing the folded painting and putting it in his arms, Jack straightened up.
Just then, there was a crisp ringing on the street, and a caravan pulled by two kodo beasts drove by. The two people quickly stood aside to get out of the way. This was a school bus for picking up children from the school. It was smooth and comfortable.
It is spacious and people will consciously give way to the school bus when they see it on the road.
When it comes to children, the female worker can't stop talking.
The female worker resented Jack for leaving in such a hurry and quickly followed the two of them out. Jack tried hard to control his expression.
Jack asked with a similarly sad face, and Kel'Thuzad rubbed his temples.
"How can I not be anxious? If the enemy really targets children... we can't waste any more time!"
"That's right, you really can't take it lightly. Is the child after school? How about I go and have a word with him?"
How is your child doing recently? The last encounter didn't have any bad impact on him, right? How is his study situation at school? "
"What's wrong? We don't want to know more about the situation?"
"What you said is really right. I feel like what happened last time frightened the child.
The two started talking on the way to visit, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt they had discovered the truth, because the residential areas they had previously visited and investigated all had one thing in common, that is, there were mostly dual-income families, and they were all raising children!
There was no response at all when he called, and the female worker's tone was a bit reproachful. Jack understood and signaled that there was no need to call, and that he should go over and take a look.
I was thinking about going to the school to visit the teacher during the break and ask the school to help me think of a solution. The child’s father is a soldier in Zufaq and rarely goes home. It is really difficult for me to take care of the child by myself.
."
After receiving Jack's approval, the little boy was still very happy and agreed to Jack's request after thinking about it.
Jack had no time to marvel at the system here at this time, he said with some anxiety.
Jack calmed down a little and agreed to Kel'Thuzad's suggestion.
"Jack! We have all forgotten that there are other places in the city where people are densely packed and groups are single!"
"Do you think our investigation was in the wrong direction from the beginning?"
"Your painting is really good. My uncle has a special request. I like this painting of yours very much. Can you give it to your uncle? I just want to trouble you to paint another one for yourself."
"Brother Jack, the leaders in the factory have also talked to us in the past few days, and indeed they have found nothing unusual. How about I help you keep an eye on it?"
Jack asked in a soft tone when he saw what the little boy was drawing on the paper.
"Sister-in-law, we are still on a mission, so we won't disturb you for now. Goodbye, little Tu'er, uncle will come see you next time."
"Sister-in-law, we know everything about the factory, and we now have the basic situation of the enemy.
Because Kel'Thuzad was not proficient in the use of time magic at the beginning, everyone in this building saw the Shadow Curse with their own eyes, and the workers in the factory also felt the tension, so there was a certain degree of tension in the hearts of the workers.
Panic. At the same time, they desperately hope that the organization can find the enemy and give people a stable life.
In addition to ensuring the material life of workers, the factory also cares about the spiritual life of workers. Not only does the cultural and entertainment team regularly organize activities, but the Light of Civilization has also set up branches in each factory, treating the spiritual beliefs of workers as a top priority.
Li De will never let the factory have any problems."
"Dingling bell~~"
He hasn't stopped talking to me recently. When he comes back from school, he often stays alone after eating, scribbling things that I can't even understand.
While Jack was talking to the female worker, Kel'Thuzad secretly confirmed that this paladin who remembers mercy knows how to use white lies. If he directly said that the enemy was targeting the child, the mother's spirit would probably collapse.
.
Jack thanked the female worker for her enthusiasm, but then the conversation changed.
Tour hesitated for a moment, then nodded and took away his hands that were blocking the paper.
After the two of them rode far away, Kel'Thuzad asked out of curiosity. He didn't understand why Jack was leaving in such a hurry.
"I mean, let's not rush to the school. We might as well visit some families with children first. If the shadow really takes action on the children, we will definitely be able to find some clues!"
"Wait, Jack! Don't worry yet!"
Kel'Thuzad was at a loss as to what to do, and actually said something that made Jack somewhat unbelievable.
This visit still started from the community that Jack was most familiar with. The female worker was very enthusiastic when she saw Jack again.
While Hanhai Protector solves the employment problem of workers, it also ensures that workers have enough free time to encourage them to have children. Children in the world of Azeroth grow very fast, and basically all children over the age of 15 have fully reached adulthood.
According to human standards, many three- and four-year-old children in the school are in elementary school.
Jack also felt his scalp numb. He and Kel'Thuzad thought of something. If it was what they thought, the enemy would really deserve to die!
Jack's eyes were filled with righteous indignation.
Thinking of this, Jack got on the motorcycle: driving a motorcycle is actually not complicated. He got used to the speed of the motorcycle in one day and learned to ride a bicycle.
Kel'Thuzad's words stopped abruptly at this point. His silence made Jack a little curious, and then an idea struck him.
Now that you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. You may not have a deep understanding of this place. The factory is the real core of Hanhai Protectorate, and it organizes the lives of the most workers with the utmost care.
"So what exactly went wrong? In the residences of these working-class families, we all saw the shadow curse with our own eyes! Is there really nothing we can do about it?!"
The factory said that no abnormalities have been found in the recent period. This is the result of a joint investigation by Van Cleef's Geographical Bureau and the Priests of the Light of Civilization. Their statement is that this result is absolutely unerring.
Just to avoid the situation like last time in the old city, we must consider the safety of the children during the evacuation in advance.
The female worker's words made Jack's heart feel like it was falling into an ice cave, but he still kept a calm face.
"I have responded to the message a long time ago. Veresa, who was in contact with Anita, sent the investigation report over at noon. I took advantage of your lunch break to go back to the team.
"Another day has passed and the children are out of school..."
The female worker readily agreed to the request and invited the two of them into the room, calling the child's name.
When Jack came to the desk, the little boy named Tuer finally showed a smile when he saw that it was Jack who was here, but Jack could clearly feel that his attitude was much colder than before.
"It's getting late, you don't need to send me any more."
As the child's savior, Jack's request is not surprising. The child and Jack were also very close when Jack was recuperating.
"Tour, stop writing now, look who is here...this kid!"
Jack picked up the piece of paper, and when he saw clearly what was drawn on the paper, he felt cold all over, but soon a smile of approval appeared on his face.
"What are you drawing? Can you show it to uncle?"
Watching the school bus go away, Kel'Thuzad felt the urgency of time.
With a livid face, Jack took out the child's painting from his arms and handed it to Kel'Thuzad.
"See for yourself what this child drew."
Kel'Thuzad opened the painting doubtfully, and it was filled with the childish scrawls of a child.
