After Elizabeth's team left the Walled City District yesterday, they did not go back to the Acropolis Mountains. Instead, they returned to the headquarters of the Hongyu Investigation Team in Jianggu District, a five-story old office building.
She didn't want to go back to the Acropolis Mountains. If the vast majority of people in the city lived in such poor conditions, no one should live in a hilltop villa like that.
This old office building belongs to Seth. In the past few days, a neon sign flashing "Red Rain Investigation Team" was quickly installed and became the office and contact address of the investigation team.
Elizabeth had an ordinary-sized group leader's office on the fifth floor, and she slept on the sofa all night.
She plans to pack some luggage and move here, and live here for a long time.
There are rumors outside that her personality is about to collapse. In fact, it is not that serious. The team doctor has evaluated it and it is about 80%.
At that time in Guangmao Building, her personality integrity indeed fell to a very dangerous level. But as the redemption process improved, her personality also improved.
Retrospection + redemption is a super combination.
Now she is an advanced programmer, and it has only been half a month since she installed the redemption program.
At this time, Elizabeth was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the street scene outside, with office workers coming and going. She was waiting for a call, a call from the company.
She knew she needed to explain her actions yesterday.
When Miss Chiba left, Elizabeth stood on the roof of the building and watched the silver-winged man go away amid the crowds of people.
"Jianbao, I have thought about it before, which tribe should I join in the wilderness? It would be very happy to travel with a group of like-minded friends, do my own thing, and develop my own goals."
Elizabeth thought softly and said softly, "However, I have my own way to go."
"The user's unhappiness has increased." The sword in her hand made an electronic sound, "Start the teaser mode: some birds cannot be locked, and some birds can dance even if they are shackled."
"Thank you, Jianbao." Elizabeth smiled and looked at the sword in her hand, "How many modes do you have?"
Jian Bao's J-level functions are so powerful that she can directly become a swordsman master.
It continues to grow, and I really don’t know what Q-level functions will be like.
And it also has such and such modes, protection mode, jester mode, amusing mode...
"My daily patterns are formulated based on the needs of users." Jianbao added, "I am a mirror for you."
Elizabeth really fell in love with this sword in the stone more and more. She was indeed a master and knew what kind of magic object was suitable for her.
Suddenly, the video phone on her desk rang with an incoming call. She went to answer it, and an electronically synthesized male face appeared on the phone screen.
Behind this face is a comprehensive team composed of personnel from the authority department, public relations department, business development department, etc., as well as the will of higher-level personnel.
"Elizabeth Sterling, please report to the company on your behavior in the Walled City yesterday."
Elizabeth looked at the expressionless synthetic face with almost cold eyes, and said directly without saying anything:
“Santo’s urban walled area buyback and renovation plan failed, which is good for us. We are currently not involved in this project.
"We have invested a lot of real estate in Jianggu District. If the nearby walled city is demolished and rebuilt, and another middle-class area is developed under the leadership of Santo, it will lower the value of Seth's Jianggu real estate.
"No matter how much I think, the fact is, Santo's failure is our success.
"Yes, I violated the company's restrictions and declared that I was a heroic super. But I was misunderstood as a blood eater, and I was unable to display my value. Now, my heroic image began to be established on the streets, and gave Seth a new
corporate image.
"Both the Boxing District and the Walled City District have changed their view of Seth because of me. How much have our product sales and commercial value increased in all aspects? It's up to you to count. But, I, Elizabeth Seth Sterling,"
Elizabeth stared at her blue eyes, "I am the hope for Seth to be better than Santo."
On the video phone screen, the synthetic face was still expressionless. After a while, he calmly said:
"Elizabeth Sterling, your authority level and activity funds will remain unchanged. Goodbye."
With a snap, the video call ended.
Elizabeth slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She passed the test and her victory was still valid.
She looked at the various documents piled up on her desk. Tonight was the time to contact the master. She now had an explanation for the walled city, herself, and the master about the fire in the Walled City last year.
But when she used her computer to check new intelligence information emails, a lot of new things happened.
And one of the familiar names made her heart ache.
Sophia Amick is missing, and a team of Gasboy security personnel and their vehicles are missing.
Yesterday, they also went to the Walled City to join in the fun. Shortly after entering the Walled City of Daxing, all their electronic devices suddenly lost signals and finally disappeared.
Gasboy and the Secret Bureau have sent people to the Walled City to investigate and search, but there is no surveillance in the Walled City, and satellites cannot take pictures. The people in the Walled City are xenophobic, and the secret police's traceability is also confusing and confusing.
"Sofia, Sophia..." Elizabeth murmured, this once close friend had become beyond recognition.
No blood-eater is innocent.
But this matter still bothered her.
Elizabeth picked up her cell phone and called James Amick. James was Sophia's biological brother, but because he was born with no extraordinary talent and only had a second gear, he was a "defective product."
But precisely because of this, James is not a blood eater, and he is not involved in the war of Gasboy's heirs.
Sophia has many biological, half-brother, and cousin brothers and sisters. There are so many Amikris, and James is the one who treats her best.
Moreover, although James also has many of the traits of a brother who loves luxury and lacks the ability to empathize, he is not considered evil.
"James, good morning." As soon as the call was connected, Elizabeth asked, "Sofia?"
"Missing..." James sighed, "Liz, as far as I know, the family is ready to give up on her."
Elizabeth frowned, but there was no surprise...
"Before her accident, her authority had been downgraded to the sixth level, Category B. She had made many mistakes one after another. I heard that our family members had deemed her unfit to continue being cultivated as a potential heir.
"Now this has happened again. After other heirs and other families know about it, they are very opposed to harming Gasboy's interests on her behalf. And based on the current situation, intensifying the search may be futile. On the contrary, it will cause chaos in the streets.
With more retaliation, companies tend to stop losses in time."
What James said is not a secret, it is just the basic logic and operation of the consortium.
There are so many potential heirs, and there will continue to be younger ones, but Sophia has made big mistakes one after another and has been eliminated.
"Liz, you know that with my status and authority, I can't make any comments. No one will listen to me."
After James said this, he was silent for a while before continuing:
"Sofia has changed a lot in the past year. She has a kind of fanatical mentality towards blood eaters called converts. She doesn't even pay attention to me. Sometimes she doesn't even scream when she sees me. But as for Yosuke Harato,
She listened to almost every word."
Elizabeth could not help but remain silent.
When I was young, there were no big distinctions between potential heirs, defectives, and people with special disabilities.
The brother-sister relationship between Sophia and James was very good, but now everything has changed.
"I really don't know her situation." James sighed. "Actually, the last time I had a few words with her was the night of your comeback party. You also knew about it. It's useless for you to ask me about this...
…”
"Well, I understand, James, please take care of yourself too."
The phone call ended like this. Elizabeth took a few steps and asked Harafuji Yosuke that it was useless.
The reason why Sophia became like this is because she was influenced and manipulated by Yosuke Harafuji.
But Yosuke Harado doesn’t care about Sophia’s life or death at all...
"Sofia, you are such an idiot." Elizabeth murmured.
She thought for a while and called the Walled City Council, but the other party responded indifferently. Although she was a friend of the Walled City, if she wanted to investigate the matter in depth, she would violate the street rules of the Walled City.
What's more, the Secret Bureau is already investigating this matter, and Chengzhai is also cooperating.
Elizabeth had no choice but to call Xiao Mei, Ayako and Yu Cheng to the office.
After yesterday's ceremony, she sent an invitation to Xiaomei, the rooftop postman friend of Master Yucheng, to join the Red Rain Investigation Team. Xiaomei can provide the investigation team with the coordination of affairs with the Chengzhai District.
The Walled City Council and Xiaomei thanked the Red Rain Investigation Team for their help and accepted the invitation to join in.
At that moment, after hearing this incident, the three investigators all said that Sophia had offended someone.
To be able to do such a thing and then be able to clean up the scene so cleanly that no traces of battle or body blood could be found, this was by no means a sudden danger in the walled area, it was a complete ambush.
The other party took advantage of the festival to attract all the crowd's attention before taking action.
The scene may have created an illusion, causing passers-by to walk around it without even a single witness.
"Miss Elizabeth, the reputation of the Red Rain Investigation Team on the streets and in the walled city is still very fragile."
Xiaomei put it bluntly, "There are some street rules that we need to abide by in order to gain respect from the streets.
"For Miss Amick, people on the street will only applaud and cheer. If you go to the streets for a blood eater, this will be considered your true face and the essence of the investigation team.
"Besides, we probably won't find her. She and her security personnel may have been sunk in the mud pond, or they may have been sold to some wilderness circus, and they will never be found."
Elizabeth listened to their opinions and pondered for a while before making a decision:
"Let's list this case as one of the cases investigated by the Red Rain Investigation Team. It's at a normal level. There's no need to search the streets. Ask the Secret Bureau and follow up if there are any clues."
She didn't want to risk everything for this, Sophia was not worthy.
The earliest legal code that can be recorded by mankind is the Stone Pillar Law of the First Age, which is the characteristic of a judge who is an extraordinary person:
"An eye for an eye, bone for a bone"
Sophia's fight with the street, failed, paid off.
But Elizabeth didn't want to give up. Sophia, if this stupid villain should be executed according to the law, she hoped that the other party would die simply instead of being tortured into an even more inhuman monster.
In her daze, she secretly had a plan, the master with great magical powers!
In tonight's contact, she wanted to ask the master for some guidance on what to do with Sophia.
