Elizabeth's follow-up visit went very quickly and smoothly this time.
In the afterimage of the past information, she became a member of the arson group.
She is a doll, an assassin, a painter, and a meat cutter. She came in a large group with a mission. By switching between various programs, she bypassed the defense of the security personnel, sneaked into the material warehouse, and set fire to it.
If you just look back, you won't see any clues.
But this time she was different, because with the boost of life energy, she not only experienced the afterimages of the incident, but also felt some of the suspects' thoughts and feelings.
Some people do it for money, while others do it for a certain idea: the walled area is reborn through demolition and renovation.
Elizabeth immediately recognized the name "Shen Gong Gui" and the painter was a member of the Shen Gong Gui.
But who are the people behind the Shen Gong Association?
The fire was raging, and the winter clothes caught fire in many places and burned to the surroundings. The fire spread quickly, and the retrospective ended here.
After the afterimage came out, the warehouse in front of Elizabeth was scorched black.
Jianbao was still in her right hand, and she was still holding the jar of tonic wine in her left hand. Perhaps it was the reflection of the night light, the wine seemed to be a little sparkling. She didn't want to drink anymore, so she handed the jar of wine to Judy.
"I saw something." Elizabeth said to Judy, Captain Lin Chen and others, but she did not say how much she knew. If the Bureau of Secrets knew, it would mean that everyone inside the bank would know.
But everyone knew that she had succeeded, otherwise she would not have had such a calm expression.
Elizabeth already had some ideas and knew who to cooperate with to continue the investigation and settlement of accounts.
There is a traitor in Yakuza, and Yakuza needs to clean up his family, and probably also settle the grudge with Santo.
She will join forces with Yakuza, Hongyu, and Seth to play this game of chess well.
Her mentality has been settled, and she should thank the master and the sharer for their life energy.
But now, there are still things to be busy with. Elizabeth walked towards some passers-by who were watching the excitement over there, and shouted loudly:
"Some people want to destroy the Red Rain Home. They are not friends on the street. I understand you! I want to tell you that the Red Rain Home will continue to operate here, bigger and better. We will learn lessons and strengthen security.
Strength, but it also needs everyone’s protection and construction.
"I also want to announce a message, there will never be child labor in Red Rain House, only children, all the children of the streamers.
"This city is sick, it is dying, it needs a big change, and this change starts from the Red Rain House."
At this time, Gu He rode his bicycle back outside the warehouse and stopped not far from the crowd.
He heard Elizabeth's declaration that would be spread throughout the streets, saw the different reactions of passers-by, saw that the night rain blurred her face, but could not blur her firm eyes, and even the night could not blur the red hair.
She is burning herself to become the fire in everyone's heart.
Perhaps, her flames were so gorgeous that even his heart was ignited, and he felt that she was really beautiful like this.
Suddenly, the energy of the holy water increased by 2%, reaching 22%.
Gu He was a little surprised, but not so surprised. It was the beauty of life in Elizabeth.
There were still a lot of things to do and tidy up at Red Rain House. After Elizabeth said that, she turned around and continued her work.
Gu He didn't go forward, just to make sure she was okay.
But my heart was really touched, and I decided to do something for Hongyu House.
What is going on in this arson case? He can find clues in his own way.
At that moment, Gu He pedaled his bicycle vigorously and drove back towards the fish pond. He really had to stay up late tonight.
…
The alley outside the fish pond was wet with rain. Gu He put Jian's bicycle against the door, opened the door and entered the izakaya. He went to the bathroom first and changed into clean clothes.
Then, he took the thermos cup and sat down on the sofa.
"If it's just a waste, then just waste the 2% you just got from the goose."
Gu He opened the console and looked at the "Ghost Girl" in the contact list. Taking advantage of the fact that his personality integrity was low, he did it and clicked Share to force the selected 2% of the holy water energy to be shared.
After the operation was completed, he sat on the sofa and relaxed for a while, just looking at the curtains and paintings in the izakaya.
Then, he initiated a contact call to the ghost girl and gave the other party 10 minutes to get through.
…
Compared with the Central District, Garden District and other places, the nights in Hexiang District are darker, and the stench of the river fills the air.
Ghosts belong to the night. The ghost girl has been more active at night since she was a child, and so are her thoughts.
She was walking on the dilapidated streets. Many of the shops on both sides were closed and the street lights were broken. There was no night city atmosphere like Kabukicho or Xuanyuan District. There were no such businesses and people. There were only some drunkards walking noisily.
Pass.
In the past month, the Kappa Gang has suffered many blows, and even the gang members have disappeared, with most of them fleeing into the river.
Suddenly, the ghost girl felt her brain twitch, as if something was glowing, and she stopped immediately.
"This is..." She looked around, feeling this for the second time.
A month has passed since the mysterious incident that night, and nothing unusual has happened during this period.
She almost thought it was just a dream.
But she knew that it really happened, and in the days after that strange connection, she had a somewhat different perception of the things around her. They were still trees and just rivers, but she could feel life from them.
That was a perception she had almost never had before, and it was obviously brought about by that mysterious man.
It was as if Anubis weighed her heart and decided to give her a new life.
Just after a few days, the situation gradually returned to the same state, but now...
The ghost girl looked at the night sky, and had that feeling again. She came to life, and her nerves had unusual vitality.
Before she could think about it or taste it, a prompt box suddenly popped up in her mind:
[The console call is in progress and will be forcibly connected after the countdown ends: 9 minutes and 59 seconds]
Console? The ghost girl was suspicious. The other party could forcefully connect to her. There was no doubt that it was like that last time.
Ten minutes was not enough time for her to return to the apartment, so she had to walk to a remote side of the street. As soon as the phone was connected, the surrounding lights and shadows were blurred, and the flow of information and data surged.
She saw the mysterious figure again, sitting on a long seat, holding the scepter of Anubis.
For a long while, the mysterious man didn't speak, and neither did the ghost woman.
Whoever initiates the contact should just say so, she thought.
"Ghost girl." Finally, the mysterious person spoke first, calling her by her code name, "It's been a month, how are you, standing at the crossroads of destiny."
The mysterious person knows who she is, and this is just a complete confirmation of the previous speculation.
The ghost girl was silent for a while and asked: "Can't you see it all? Why do you still ask me?"
If the other party is an omniscient and omnipotent person, then he does not need to ask any questions.
If the other party does not know everything, but only knows part of it, then it is possible that they are trying to obtain information.
Knowing her identity, but not knowing her heart and current situation, this is a situation that can exist.
The omniscient and omnipotent person is terrible, otherwise, it would just be a certain existence with a certain ability.
"I hope you speak up for yourself. Silence will only speed up the demise of this world."
The mysterious man said slowly, raising his staff and feeling a little spiritual.
But when the ghost girl saw it, she suddenly had some other doubts. Why didn't it look like a scepter? Otherwise, the other party just took the scepter and stabbed it in her mouth...
However, the ghost girl still didn't speak.
She is at a disadvantage with poor information. Only when the other party talks more and reveals more information will she know how to deal with this trick.
As expected, she was not in a hurry, but the mysterious man couldn't sit still and suddenly said:
"Are you willing to be trapped in chains for the rest of your life?"
At this moment, the ghost girl's heart moved slightly, and she was gifted with chains.
Could it be that that kind of vitality is a way to resist and dissolve the chains of nature...
This mysterious man is indeed powerful.
…
Oh my god!
Gu Hezhen was a little anxious. The ghost didn't care about him and didn't say a word of nonsense.
But the duration of each contact is limited, and the energy of the holy water is declining again, falling below 19%. If no information can be exchanged, this time it will be a heavy loss.
He already knew who the other party was, and he was clearly in an advantageous position in the deception chain, so why was it so difficult to deal with it.
However, the construction of mental health always requires patients and therapists to work together. If the patient keeps silent and covers his ears and does not want to listen, then all chicken soup is just nonsense.
Suddenly, the ghost girl finally said her second sentence tonight: "Everyone wears chains, but I am special."
What is this, chicken soup flowing backwards?
Gu He took another sip of wolfberry water and thought about it first. The ghost girl was interested in "chains".
Doesn't this just expose her thoughts? She actually doesn't want to be controlled.
Everyone has an ego, and "artificial beings" like the gifted ones have had their egos suppressed since childhood. They counterattack the extraordinary ones, but the bank counterattacks them. How can they live happily? At least the ghost girl is not happy.
He had to first determine whether the holy water energy would be beneficial or harmful to her, which meant two mechanisms of reward or punishment.
"I gave you a little energy just now." Gu He deliberately kept his words vague, "It's a reminder for you."
It's still an ambiguous piece of bullshit, just waiting for the other party to give an answer.
"remind?"
The ghost girl murmured, reminding me of what, reminding me that I am a person, not a ghost?
"If I'm a human being and not a ghost," she said, "then why don't I have a name?"
Cold sweat broke out on Gu He's forehead. What this guy said was even more difficult to understand than what a goose sometimes said.
But this is her response to the "reminder", which seems to mean that the energy of the holy water can make her feel like "I am a human being, not a ghost"... Is this equivalent to turning dead water into living water?
After thinking about this, Gu He almost fell down on the sofa, he was so happy.
The ghost girl can counteract the doll, but the holy water can make her come alive.
And judging from her tone, she seems to like it quite a bit, which is a reward.
Gu He saw that his energy could no longer sustain the contact, and the energy of the holy water had dropped to 18%, so he said eloquently:
"That kind of energy is for you to create your own name.
"But what are you? Vic Sterling has recently done some things in addition to the actions against the Kappa Gang. Are you also involved? Are you a person or a ghost beside him?"
Gu He wanted to find out whether Vic Sterling was responsible for the arson case.
There is competition among Seth's potential heirs, and Elizabeth's brother is suspicious.
There are also rumors on the street that this ghost girl follows Vic Sterling like a personal attendant, and she may know something.
…
"I don't know Vic Sterling. I don't even know if you are Vic Sterling."
This is the true thought of the ghost woman. The longer she stays with that man, the more she understands him, and the less she understands him.
And if that mysterious man is trying to obtain information, this must be his purpose.
The ghost girl felt that the other party really didn't know much, but sometimes she would feel like this. She was tired.
Interestingly, this "tired" feeling becomes even more profound after experiencing the vitality of life.
If she had never lived, she would not know what it was like to be alive, and now, she longed for that taste, wanted that kind of energy, and this mysterious man had found her desire.
Mr. Sterling, if I am not even a living person, then you and this world are nothing to me.
"I don't know what you are referring to. If you want to know what Vic Sterling is up to, I can tell you."
The ghost woman said, "As far as I know, he has been in Hexiang District every day recently and has never been to other places.
"There are too many things happening in this city every day. Tonight there was a fire at the Red Rain House in Kabukicho. After Mr. Sterling heard about it, he said to me, 'If my sister still knows how to play chess, the house of Red Rain will be better." The family can be upgraded."
…
After this contact, Gu He broke out in cold sweat. It had nothing to do with psychology, but with the ghost woman's sinister wind.
From what she said, Vic Sterling's suspicion is not high?
The gain is really not big, but 5% of the holy water energy is spent, and only 17% is left in the end, which is really painful.
The same bullshit, the goose has a good understanding; but the ghost girl just doesn't make people worry.
You still have to manage your contact with the ghost girl slowly. If you have enough holy water, just contact her a few more times...
Gu He looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost one o'clock in the morning. He didn't like to stay up late, which was something he had in common with the low-tech people.
Over there in the dungeon, Sophia...
"Tomorrow, I'll be free tomorrow." He murmured and stood up, saying he didn't want to go. "Go back to Itada's apartment and sleep."
Dealing with so many women in one night, the energy of the holy water is constantly being lost, and I am almost exhausted.
