Although Vera was very curious about the possible story behind Angel's identity as a "wizard", after much entanglement, she finally gave up her curiosity.
Ask the question you are most concerned about first and then talk about it.
Thinking of this, Vera said in a deep voice: "Why do you or the organization behind you investigate Alfred?"
Angel: "Are you sure this is the second question?"
Vera nodded.
Angel shrugged and said, "Because we are looking for the dark corner entrance."
Vera frowned: "Are you fooling me?"
"There is no fooling around." Angel: "The reason is that simple."
"I'm asking about the reason. You should at least tell me the reason and reasons, right?"
Angel: "It's a two-in-one question."
Vera: "But you didn't raise any objection just now."
Angel looked at Vera silently, and finally said: "Okay, I didn't listen carefully this time. The reason..."
"Because of some unspeakable reasons." Angel paused and pointed at the top, implying that the matter had nothing to do with him, but a higher-level involvement. If Vera is curious, just ask questions.
"...We decided to go to the dark corner." Angel: "In order to find the entrance to the dark corner, we spent a lot of effort and finally locked on one person."
"Sisley."
Angel did not explain Sisley's identity because he believed that Vera must know this identity.
Sure enough, Vera whispered: "The leader of the Asiatic Circus, Sisley Nicholson?"
Angel nodded: "Yes."
"We learned a lot of interesting information from Sisley, but none of it had much to do with the dark corner entrance, until Sisley told us one thing. I guess Ms. Vera should have something about this."
What I know is that it is the matter of the former noble knight."
Vera: "...In order to know the information about the mysterious child, Sisley led the circus survivors to find Alfred and kidnapped Alfred with morality."
Angel nodded: "Yes, Alfred disappeared later. Based on our speculation and some clues he left, we determined that there is a high probability that he entered a dark corner."
"To this end, we began to investigate Alfred in depth... This is the reason for everything."
To sum up, the answer is actually "looking for the entrance to the dark corner", but Angel added some details.
Vera: "In my opinion, your observation of clues and control of the direction of speculation have exceeded the scope of logic. You must have used extraordinary power, right?"
How else would they have screened out Alfred from all the clues?
He even defined Alfred's "disappearance" as entering a dark corner.
You know, the people of the Dark Round Table have all the clues, and they have not given such a precise definition of Alfred's disappearance.
Therefore, there must be extraordinary power involved in the process.
Angel still smiled and said nothing, and continued to point upward.
"Ms. Vera is curious, so you might as well spend some time asking... But you only have one last question."
Vera's face turned dark instantly.
Why are there so few problems?!
When she agreed to three questions, she thought they were irrelevant questions and she didn't care. Three was enough.
But now, the more she asked Angel, the more she discovered that there were mysteries behind him, and these mysteries deeply attracted her. She couldn't help but want to peel them off layer by layer.
The most important thing is that these mysteries seem to be closely related. It is basically impossible for her to ask them all at once.
hateful--
Although she was filled with resentment, Vera did begin to think about the last question, how to choose.
She wanted to ask Angel about the final result of their search for the dark corner entrance? But she was worried that this was a wasted question.
Angel will most likely answer: "There is no result."
Even if the answer is "There is a certain result," but if you want to ask specifically what the result is, Angel will probably say "This is another question."
Of course, she could also use tricks to ask for multiple pieces of information with one question... But if Angel said "no results", then her tricks would be in vain.
In short, because of the uncertainty about the result, Vera was worried that she was wasting a question in vain but could not get any information.
To be on the safe side, you might want to ask questions that will definitely lead to information.
For example, the organization behind Angel, and the meaning of his upward gesture just now...
However, what Vera didn't know was that when she began to think about the gains and losses of intelligence, she had actually fallen into the mystery created by Angel.
If she could make a firm choice, follow her initial thoughts, and focus on Alfred's information, she might actually be able to ask about the hidden waters...
Unfortunately, the web of doubts carefully woven by Angel still dazzled the old fox fans.
The most important thing is that Angel's answers are all true.
It is easiest for people to get trapped in a web weaved with truth.
But thinking about it carefully, this is also the inevitable result. Although Vera is very scheming, she has always thought of the superior.
A young man can care less about everything, just for his passionate dream to move forward. Even if he looks back and thinks about his stupid behavior, he will just laugh it off.
But those in power are different. They no longer consider illusory dreams, but weigh the benefits and losses.
Or to put it in more straightforward terms, it means that... I have lost my spirit.
That’s not right, it should be said that he is “hiding” his energy.
The energy is always there, but it's just not as sharp as a young man's.
They pursue tact when they need to be tactful, and use their sharpness when they need to be sharp, and assess the situation.
This is actually not a mistake, but I will worry more when making choices.
It was precisely because of her worries that Vera missed the question that pointed to the truth.
Yes, Vera has asked the third question.
The third question jumped away from Alfred just as Angel had guessed... However, Vera did not completely step into the maze of "useless questions" woven by Angel.
What are "useless questions"? For example, his wizard background, or some intelligence doubts about the "Savage Cave".
If Vera really asked this, then it was really in vain.
"My third question is, you asked me to fully support Prada Media in organizing the beauty pageant. What is the reason behind this?"
Vera jumped out of the current whirlpool of questions, but returned to the "price" that Angel had proposed before, and once again used "cause" to expand the possibility of intelligence sniffing.
Angel didn't care about Vera's cleverness, but said with a serious expression: "I can't tell you this question directly, because it involves the top secret of our organization."
Vera's eyes twitched. She got rid of those curious questions and asked this question. In the end, she really caught a big fish?
Flow shows that Angel is telling the truth!
Really top secret related!
From this point of view, the top secret mission assigned by the organization behind Angel is related to "Prada Media". So their search for the entrance to the dark corner should be just a less important branch line?
Of course, it may also be related to the missing Pai Pai.
But no matter what, it has been determined that dark corners are not their main goal, Prada Media is.
Prada Media Company has actually entered a period of decline. In Vera's view, their only value is...the name of the Prada Beauty Pageant.
Just now Angel also mentioned the holding of a "beauty show".
In this way, the organization behind Angel is most likely planning a "beauty show". They want to replace Prada Media and control the beauty show from the root.
Don't look at the beauty pageant as just a show.
But it is one of the three major shows recognized by all the people of Modern City.
Only in these three popular shows can we steadily produce high-level... or even higher-level monster puzzles.
In other words, as long as you master the beauty pageant, you have the qualifications to become a high-level magician!
Perhaps... Angel and the organization behind him came here for this reason.

At this time, Angel spoke again: "Because of this question, I can't answer you. So I give you two options, either change the question, or I will split the question down and reveal a related one, but
It is not directly related to classified information."
Choose one of the two.
The former bets on an uncertain piece of information, while the latter is bound to get information related to confidentiality.
Vera chose the latter.
"You can reveal the information, but I hope this information will not disappoint me." Vera: "At least, it must be worth the price I paid."
At this time, Vera mentioned the "price" again, and its effect and value were different.
Because Angel has made it clear that the beauty pageant is their top core secret. Then the value of Vera's support for the beauty pageant will become even higher.
Therefore, if he wanted to be worthy of the price she paid, Angel couldn't just find some scrap information to deal with it.
Angel naturally understood what Vera meant, and he didn't even think about being perfunctory.
"Do you think it's worth the price you pay for giving you a way to identify us?" Angel chuckled.
Vera's heart skipped a beat: "How to identify you? Do you mean to identify people from your organization? Or is it a way to identify you people from outside the world?"
Angel: "Of course."
After hearing Angel's answer, Vera felt that her breathing was getting heavier.
The method of judging a group of outsiders is definitely costly enough!
This is absolutely a core secret!
But why would Angel tell this secret? Could he be a double agent?
Vera: "Are you sure you want to reveal this method? Are you not afraid..."
Vera didn't say anything further, but Angel understood what she meant.
Angel: "Why are you afraid? Didn't Ms. Vera already agree to stand on our side?"
"Promise? I didn't agree, I just promised to help you stop it..." Vera suddenly stopped talking, and she seemed to understand what Angel meant.
She just agreed to help stop those who were trying to disrupt the beauty pageant.
In her opinion, this is a trivial task that can be completed with just one command.
However, for Angel and the organization behind him, this is their "top secret." By helping them in this matter, doesn't Vera mean to be on their side?
Thinking of this, Vera's face turned darker.
It feels like it's been calculated.
At this time, Angel seemed to see what he was thinking, and said slowly: "Do you feel that you have been tricked by me now? You shouldn't have agreed so quickly at the beginning? However, this is only based on your current perspective.
, but if we look at it as a whole, for you, what we do, or the purpose we need to accomplish, will not have much impact on you."
"This is good for you and good for us. It's a win-win situation."
Vera snorted coldly: "I never thought about making this matter a win-win situation."
Angel said nonchalantly: "Then we can only win alone."
Vera raised her eyebrows and wanted to shout angrily.
But Angel took the lead and said, "I said before that I am a wizard. Judging from your reaction, you should have heard of the name wizard."
"Compared with the combat effectiveness of the wizard and the fashion magician, who do you think will be stronger?"
"We respect the rules of Modern City and use the rules here to complete the confrontation. This is a win-win situation. But if we follow the rules of the wizard and perform deus ex machina, it will only be a single win."
Vera's pupils shrank.
How could she not understand what Angel meant.
There is no doubt that fashion magicians have strong auxiliary abilities. But when it comes to attack methods... it is obvious that low-level magicians also use "forcing others to change clothes to humiliate" as an attack method.
Only senior magicians and above can truly possess the magic that can change the world.
But there are only a few high-level magicians in Modern City?
Therefore, Angel's words are undoubtedly a threat.
Not right either.
In the flow, Angel showed no threat, he was speaking straightforwardly.
In other words, he was just expressing that they have the absolute ability to crush the gods.
This kind of straightforward statement makes people see the gap more clearly than the threat of strong support.
But at the same time, Angel also made a clear statement in the flow: in the modern city, they will choose to fight with rules instead of so-called wizard methods.
If this was outside of Flow, Vera might not believe it. But since Flow recognized Angel's words, it meant that they did not have any last resort and would not resort to "outside the plan" tactics.
Thinking of this, Vera's eyebrows narrowed slightly.
"Since you think I'm on your side, shouldn't you answer a few more questions from me?"
Angel: "One code is the same code and cannot be confused."
"However, I can reveal to you some more information about us. How about that?"
Vera: "...Okay."
Angel: "Let's talk about how to identify us first. Because we look similar, it's basically impossible to identify us based on our appearance. The only way to identify us is..."
"The challenge mission failed inexplicably, so it must have something to do with our people."
Angel told Vera the same story he told Zuniga.
The main reason for revealing this information is because with Vera's current status and age, she no longer has that much demand for ordinary fashionable monsters, and even the pages of her magic book are probably full. In this situation
Under such circumstances, even if it is known that the challenger can "skip the mission" and obtain the monster illustrations more conveniently, it will not have much impact on her own interests.
Just like Zuniga.
At most, she would be surprised by this incident and admit that it was a shocking secret. But as to whether there would be more follow-up actions? Or she would directly step in to stop the challenger? Probably not.
