Ling did not tell Tio that the death of Guy Bannings was related to Speaker Haltmann.
In this world, Guy died in 1200 instead of 1201, which was different from the plot she knew. Because she had doubts, she went to investigate and infiltrated lawyer Ian's affairs.
The institute searched the files, looked through Rubacher's attendance records, and found Guy's autopsy report... The final conclusion was that Guy was dismissed because he offended the imperial congressmen time and time again with his overwhelming sense of justice.
In the reality she experienced, Guy's death had nothing to do with Lawyer Ian and the Sword Master of the Wind. The cause of his death was cyanide poisoning, and the person who poisoned him was not Lubacher. They were not so professional.
It was enough for a highly vigilant senior investigator to easily fall into the trap. The person who did it was an extremely professional killer, and his skill level was probably like Sharon, Joshua, or Ling.
Although the murderer could no longer be found, there were only a few suspects as to who the employer was. However, it was Tio's decision to decide what action to take, and Ling did not intend to get involved, and did not even disclose any information.
Give it to Tio.
"The organizers of this conference are already here, please give a speech to everyone."
The speaker was the guide Barclay whom he had just met when he entered. After he stepped away, a bald uncle and a middle-aged and elderly man with brown and gray hair mixed with gray appeared at the front desk of the restaurant. The bald uncle spoke first.
"Good evening everyone, I am Marconi from the Rubach Chamber of Commerce, the organizer of this auction. Time flies, this unique auction is the seventh this year. The number of guests attending the event continues to increase every year, and with that
Correspondingly, the auction items participating in the exhibition are becoming more and more abundant. It is precisely because of your understanding and support that we can usher in the grand occasion we are today. In addition, there is also a nobleman who provides this luxurious mansion as a gift every year.
Our event venue. Some of you may already know it, and some foreign guests may be unfamiliar with it. Please allow me to introduce to you the representative of the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, the big politician who leads the Autonomous Prefecture Assembly... His Excellency Speaker Haltmann
!”
After Marconi finished speaking, he took a step back, leaving room for the Speaker.
"Everyone present, I am the Speaker of the Autonomous Prefecture, Hartmann, who is here to be introduced. I feel honored to be able to provide the venue for this gorgeous ceremony tonight. This event is not only an auction, but also a gathering of celebrities from all walks of life.
A banquet for gatherings, parties, and encounters. The night has just begun. After the auction, we have also prepared a small dinner. Please treat this museum as your own mansion and enjoy it to the fullest! Dear guests,
Once the auction starts, everyone will be a competitor. Please use this short time to get along harmoniously and deepen each other's friendship."
After the speaker finished his speech, many guests chose to go up and talk to them.
Ling Ye was temporarily separated from Jing Ge, Valut, and Wu Xiang, preparing to wander around before the auction started. When he walked to Mrs. Imelda, the latter greeted her kindly, and also spoke by the way.
I casually complained, "This kid Marconi, every time I see him, I feel more like a bad civet cat. Not only his behavior, but also his appearance is exactly the same as a civet cat, ha ha..."
Marconi is not young anymore, he should be 55 years old this year. But in the eyes of Imelda, who is over 70, he is still considered a junior.
"I was very concerned about him before. Is Mrs. Imelda familiar with him?"
"Of course, after all, I grew up watching them. Forty years ago, their family lived in the apartment I ran. It was a landlord-tenant relationship."
"So that's it." After getting the answer, Ling nodded to Mrs. Imelda.
Just as she walked out of the restaurant, a tall middle-aged man led Marconi's men in black suits to Ling's side.
"I'm sorry, Master Ling. I am Garcia Rossi, who is in charge of security at this venue. This is probably the first time we have met formally."
Garcia put his right hand in front of his abdomen and his left hand behind his waist. He bowed deeply to Ling, who was only as tall as his waist, as a gentleman.
"We have met several times from afar, but this is indeed the first time we have met face to face. Does the sales director of the Lubach Chamber of Commerce need to be so respectful to me? Your subordinates are all very strange."
"I heard from Leonidas that Fei has become your disciple and started to learn formal martial arts. I can be grateful to you for letting that child leave the battlefield."
As expected of the West Wind Troupe, where all members are lolita controlled. Even though they have retired, they still miss Fei. Although they are not a family, they feel like a family.
"What's more, you are a strong man who can easily defeat Leo in an arm wrestling match. Frankly speaking, just standing in front of you makes my crisis radar ring non-stop. I can't be my enemy, my body even wants to
Let me escape from here immediately."
"Huh? You can notice it. Your men don't feel anything at all. Even though they are no longer active Jaegers, are they still so sensitive?"
"Haha, for us hunters, the most important talent is not combat power, but the ability to survive. Maybe we are not the strongest, but we are definitely the best at surviving in desperate situations."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want to see me for?"
"Sir Ling, the thing is like this. Among the items in our auction this time, there is a very strange product. According to the product information, it is a Rozenberk doll, and it is also an early-made classical doll. Logically speaking, it should be
It is the focus of the auction. Among enthusiasts, it is a dream work that can command a sky-high price. Classical dolls of the same specifications were once sold for five million Mira at the auction of Heimdall, the imperial capital of Erebonia.
The hammer fell. But the strange thing is that in the previous auctions, every time it failed. Starting from the third auction of this item, and later the fourth, fifth, and sixth auctions
, it’s like this every time. It’s rare that you, the head of the Rozenberk workshop, are here this time. Can you help us identify whether this auction is actually a Rozenberk doll, or is it a fake?”
"Is it the work of Grandpa Yorugu when he was young? You said so, and I am very interested. Mr. Rossi, please lead the way."
When Ling nodded in agreement, Rubach's people breathed a sigh of relief. With Garcia taking the lead, the group went to the exhibit library on the right.
In the showroom, Ling saw a huge suitcase. A man in a black suit took out the key and opened the lock of the suitcase.
Appearing among them is an exquisite doll with light green hair. Its lifelikeness is almost the same as that of a human being. The only difference between it and a living person is that it has no body temperature, no breathing, and no heartbeat.
Just when Ling really thought it was a doll, she suddenly felt a pain in her forehead. This was something that had not happened in many years, and then came the sudden influx of noise in her mind.
◇◇◇Fragments of d◇◇◇
…………
…………
Now that I think about it, Joachim also used other means to enter the same place.
Entering zero time and space is synonymous with the link to d pursued by the d∴g cult.
This is the second time Ling has entered Zero Time and Space. The first time was when she was forcibly transformed into a demon after being given true knowledge in the Sun Fortress. After being released from the demon transformation, she lost most of her memory, leaving only the necessary memories.
Knowledge. I think it will be the same situation this time.
"Qiya" appeared in front of her in zero time and space, which was unexpected and not unexpected.
"The cognition I formed based on your understanding is just to allow her to obtain the "phenomenon" (disturbance/ripple) generated by the information. It is not the existing entity corresponding to this image."
"The purpose of association is observation? What is the meaning of observation?"
"Observation is the force that drives history, and observation is the force that connects cause and effect. Without observation, there would be no time. The whole world would be as stagnant as a frozen picture. Observation, in words you can understand, is Laplace's Demon.
Schrödinger's cat, electron double-slit interference. The result is uncertain before it is observed. Only after observation can the result be revealed."
"Wait, those are...why do you know those?"
"I'm just explaining it to you in a way you can understand. If they are visitors from other worlds, I will also give them answers that are in line with their knowledge based on the characteristics of other worlds. For example, using the gears of fate to start turning,
Or words like a fork in history.”
"Let's put this aside. Observation interferes with reality. Isn't that something that only works on a microscopic scale?"
"The above is the same as the bottom. There is no real difference between parity and microscopicity. Radio telescopes and electron microscopes are the same observation mode, but the angle of observation is different. You can use the two axes in the inverse proportional function of plane geometry to understand 'relative'
This concept.”
"But I can't rewrite reality with my eyes! Not just me, most humans can't."
"Because human beings in reality are not observers, but executors who overwrite events. The actions of executors need to follow the context of 'reason'. The rules of gravity, the rules of entropy increase, every world has its own
Laws, these laws are the corresponding 'principles'. Only external existences other than the observed object can carry out 'observation'."
"Are you an observer?"
"No, I'm not. I'm just the disturbance caused by Zero Time and Space itself to allow you to extract information. Only external beings can become observers. The same applies to Zero Time and Space. You are an outsider to Zero Time and Space. My creation
And all my responses are the result of your observation intention."
"How did Qia rewrite the world line? Isn't she from the continent of Samlia?"
"Kea is the key. As the name suggests, it is the key to zero time and space made by you Samlian people. The time of your Samlian world has no meaning to zero time and space. She chose to leave Samlian
The mainland's entry into Zero Time and Space made her permanently a part of Zero Time and Space, which is what you call Zero's Miko."
"Wait a minute, I've obviously stopped Bell's plan. Qia's hair color hasn't changed either!"
"The order of time has no meaning to zero time and space. Qia rewrote the situation by repeatedly observing a certain period of time in the continent of Samlia (rather than intervening), but this will not lead to her entering zero time and space.
The thing disappears. Because this is 'something that has happened'. Maybe it is a logic that is difficult for you humans to understand. The Qia who is located in the zero time and space and the Qia who is on the Samlia continent belong to different categories.
The same existence in the same dimension. But as long as you still have the understanding that she should live in the continent of Samlia, she will never appear in the zero space again."
"It means that when I didn't know it, Qia actually stayed here all the time?"
"The expression 'always' is not accurate. Your concept of time and space has no meaning to our zero time and space. When your astral body is linked to zero time and space, external visitors will come from Qiyao calendar year 0, Qiyao calendar year 700, or
The zero time and space linked to Qiyao Calendar 1204 are all the same. When Qiya chose to become a part of zero time and space, this was already the result. For a single world, the past history can be covered up or rewritten, but
What has happened will not go away."
…………
When she came to her senses, Ling found that her left hand was pressing her forehead. The muscles on her face were about to spasm due to excessive congestion.
What is the memory that flowed into her mind at that moment? It is different from a precognitive dream, and it is not like a glimpse of the possible world through causal connections. This is her memory? But is this a memory from the future?
Wait a minute, the image that just appeared in your mind... is too similar to the doll in front of you... Is this "doll" with no heartbeat, breathing and body temperature really Chia?
Are you kidding? This is completely different from the plot she knows.
No, you can just ignore the plot and all that from the beginning.
The fact that Qiya was not in the Sun Fortress during the annihilation battle of the d∴g Order was the first thing she knew that was different from the plot.
Not only that, Joachim Jonta also didn’t know the whereabouts of the Holy Son. Before the annihilation war, he was just a recorder and had no chance to meet the Holy Son. He was not a cadre of the Sun Fortress stronghold but the Altair stronghold.
cadres. And after the annihilation battle, the Holy Son also disappeared directly, leaving only an empty container.
It's all connected, it's all connected.
The third Black Auction took place in April 1198 of the Qiyao Calendar, and the annihilation war took place two months later. In other words... long before that, Qiya had fallen into the hands of Lubacher. Who did it?
, when it was done, everything is a mystery.
As for the reason for repeated rejections, it is probably due to causality.
If it weren't for that sudden "memory", she would probably just treat the green-haired little girl in front of her as a doll, give an appraisal, and then continue to pass the shot.
Speculation is just speculation. After the world line changes, people living in the changed world line will not have the memory of the original world line. This should be the case, but something went wrong with Ling.
"Mr. Rossi, can I buy this doll directly?"
"Huh?"
"After all, it is Grandpa Yorugu's early work. I plan to buy it back and collect it. If the price is right, I am willing to pay 10 million Mila, so I should have no problem with it, right?"
"This... although it is a bit against the rules, but since there is such a price, I think President Marconi won't mind."
"Thank you. Then, I will take this doll away directly."
Ling stuffed an unnamed IBC card into Garcia's hand, then hugged Chia directly and disappeared in front of Garcia Rossi and his men in black suits.
