Scott: "In other words, was he in constant contact with Dieter during those times?"
"I'm afraid this is the only possibility. Lloyd, you are truly worthy of your reputation and have amazing insight." Michelle said.
"No, I'm sorry for asking a rude question." Lloyd said, "Since it's already rude, I'll ask you another question."
"There is an inconsistency between Mr. Arios's actual itinerary and what is recorded in the itinerary. Did it happen six months ago?"
Ellie: "Half a year ago."
"Theo: "Is that when Mr. Dieter becomes the director?"
"Well, as for this, I really can't remember what happened so long ago." Michelle said, "Wait, it's true, like that time."
"That time?"
"It's the last day of the founding commemoration celebration." Michelle said, "Arius needs to go to Remifilia due to work reasons."
"But in the end, the plan was suddenly canceled and was not recorded in the report."
"Is there such a thing?" Lloyd said.
"I noticed this afterward and asked him about it, but he explained that he was too busy at work, so he didn't write the report properly," Michelle said.
"Why did you notice anything?"
Scott said: 'No, the festival was so busy that people were almost dying, so it wouldn't be surprising if there was a slight error in the report, right?'
Lloyd; "Last day of commemoration celebrations?"
Randy; "Does it have anything to do with that?"
"It's not clear yet, but I always feel that there is some kind of connection." Lloyd said: "So far, we have missed one point after another because we were too busy, and now..."
That's when the communication came.
"Sorry, I'll take it first," Lloyd said.
"Hello, this is the Crossbell Special Agent Support Section."
"Huh? Haha, hello." A young man's voice said.
"Who are you?"
"Haha, guess who I am? If you guess it right, there will be a prize."
"Enough with the boring jokes, why do you have the nerve to come to Crossbell?"
"Oops, I'm being disliked. The atmosphere seems tense now, but can you come over and have a chat?"
"Haha, I won't let your trip go in vain."
Lloyd; "I understand, where should I find you?"
"The Crimson Chamber of Commerce should probably be called the old site of Lubache, and the president's room should be there."
"Is it the room underground? I understand."
"Then I'll be waiting for you."
"Could it be the branch chief who is missing?" Ellie said.
"Speaking of which, before Lana left without saying goodbye, he contacted us," Tio said.
"There's still something going on," Randy said.
"No, he's not from the Black Moon, he's from the Empire's Lecter." Lloyd said.
"What." Ellie said.
"That person actually came to Crossbell again." Tio said.
Randy: "It's exactly like what you just said, why did he have the nerve to come here?"
"Anyway, he will be waiting for us at the old site of Lubache. Considering the relationship between him and the Red Constellation, we must not take it lightly, but we still have to see this face."
Lloyd said.
Randy: "That's right."
Tio: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
Ellie: "Before going there, it seems necessary to make complete preparations."
Michelle: "It's really hard for you."
"It seems that we are just going to meet a troublesome guy. That Rector is a very difficult young man to deal with." Scott said.
"If the situation is serious and you need our help, be sure to be polite. Yes, we owed a favor when we were in the wetland." Ionias said.
Ellie: "Thank you everyone."
Tio; "If we are unable to cope, please help us."
Lloyd and others went to the old site of Lubache in the back street.
When I arrived here, I found that no one was around.
"We were specifically called here to pick the lock on the door of this room," Randy said.
Tio: "It seems he has arrived first."
"Yeah, be more vigilant, let's go down too." Lloyd said.
Lloyd and others met Rector in the president's room.
Rector: "Oh, you guys are here. It's really hard work. It seems like you didn't ask anyone to come."
"Having said that, please don't conclude that we will let you go easily." Lloyd said.
Ellie: "What Red Constellation does has nothing to do with you."
Randy: "I'm just going to get straight to the point as to why you were in Crossbell."
"And uncle, where did the Red Constellation go?"
Tio: "Since you are the employer, you should obviously know."
"Well, let me answer the first question first. I came today and took the first train."
Rector: "These actions are naturally carried out according to the instructions of Uncle Guinius."
Ellie: "Iron-blooded."
Lloyd; "For what purpose?"
"Before that, let me tell you a piece of valuable information." Rector said: "The empire will invade in a big way this afternoon."
Lloyd: "What!"
Tio: "This joke is too bad."
"No, in this case, it wouldn't be surprising if it were true." Randy said.
"Should we start at the Bellegarde Gate?"
"Well, we have already gathered at Karelia Fortress." Lecter said: "Although there is only one regiment, it is equipped with the latest station trains and should be able to defeat Crossbell easily."
"We have to report it quickly!" Ellie said.
"No need, we've already informed them." Rector said, "The announcement was made in advance."
"But Uncle Dieter did not declare to take back the assets of IBC East Street and still took office as the city lord. He should know very well that it is impossible to prevent the invasion."
"That's why I came to Crossbell again."
"Hey, what's going on here?" Randy said, "In this case, what was his idea of ​​appointing Uncle Arios as the leader?"
"I don't know." Lloyd said: "Even Arios can't resist. No matter how you think about it, you can only understand that he still has a trump card that he has not yet revealed."
"Could it be that he wants to reconcile with Smith to contain the empire?" Tio said.
"No, if that were the case, Uncle Dieter wouldn't reprimand Smith like that in his speech again," Ellie said.
"I'm afraid he is planning to start a head-on confrontation."
"Well, that should be right."
At this time a woman came over.
"Huh?"
"You are," Tio said.
"Isn't this Miss Kirika?" Randy said.
"Long time no see, everyone. I'm so sorry, Actor. I'm late."
Rector: "I've just arrived, so don't worry. How is the situation over there?"
"The situation is progressing as expected. The airships have dispersed on the outskirts of Altair City."
Lloyd; "What!"
"Is Smith going to invade too?" Ellie said.
"Is it a mixed team?" Randy said.
"Well, it's a combination of a new station car and an airship with high maneuverability. After all, we are famous for our highest maneuverability."
"How could this happen?" Lloyd said.
"That means attacking from both sides?" Tio said.
"Yes, this situation is obviously not what you want to see."
"With a little thought, one would have expected that the situation would develop into this situation, but Dieter adopted an uncompromising and tough attitude."
"What has actually happened?"
Rector: 'As for the other question, the second question, I will answer it as a special gift.'
"Where's the Red Constellation going?" Randy said.
"Yes, the answer is very simple. The empire is completely unaware of this matter."
Ellie: "How could it be!"
"The relationship between the two has been completely exposed. How could it be possible?" Tio said.
Randy said: "Are you trying to say that after hiring them to cause a scene in Crossbell, the contract ends?"
Lloyd; "No, wait a minute, when the meeting was held, the Red Constellation signed a contract with the Empire. The content of the contract is to eliminate those who threaten the safety of Iron-blooded lives."
"Isn't this correct?"
"Well, that's what they said, right?" Rector said.
"Could it be that the contract they signed with the empire ended at that time?" Lloyd said.
Ellie: "This?"
Randy: "No way."
"Hahaha, Lloyd, you are really suitable for my line of work." Rector said; "It's a pity that your personality would have been more evil."
"That is to say." Lloyd said.
"Yes, after the meeting, the empire and the Red Constellation have nothing to do with each other." Rector said: "Despite this, they still stay in Crossbell. We also feel very suspicious."
"But I really didn't expect that they would do such a thing."
Ellie; 'How could it be.'
"In that case, uncle, why would they do such a thing?" Randy said.
Tio: "Could it be that they signed a new contract with the association?"
"No, that doesn't make sense." Kirika said: "During the mutation that occurred in Libel, the association mobilized a private combat force called the Enhanced Jaeger."
"If they were going to attack Crossbell, they would definitely be dispatched."
Tio: "That's it."
"Does that mean they don't need to hire Red Constellation?" Ellie said.
"This seems to have narrowed the scope of suspicion. Now the empire has almost been identified as the culprit behind the scenes. The real culprit is naturally a force that can obtain certain benefits from fire by attacking Crossbell." Lloyd: "In addition, This force also has sufficient funds to enter into a long-term contract with the most advanced Red Constellation."
Lloyd's expression changed.
"Well, that's exactly it." Rector said.
"The truth is often hidden in incredible possibilities." Wuxiang said.
'Wait a minute,' Ellie said.
"If analyzed through these conditions," Tio said.
Randy; "Isn't there only one eligible person left?"
"We can't draw a conclusion yet. Although Lecter and Wuxiang are very grateful for the information they provided, we have different positions after all."
"What happens after that is up to us," Lloyd said.
At this time the communication rang.
"Hello, this is special agent support Koroyd."
"Great, we finally got through. Lloyd, this is Cecil."
"Sister Cecil? What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
"Just now, Mr. Arios came to this building."
"Mr. Arios?"
"Then, he took Xiao Qia and left."
"What!"
"Although I tried to stop him, Xiao Qia didn't. Anyway, if you can come back as soon as possible, let's talk about the details in person," Cecil said.
"I understand, wait for us there." Lloyd said.
"What's wrong?" Ellie said.
Randy: "You look scary."
"Mr. Arios went to the support department and took Kia away!" Lloyd said.
"Why?" Ellie said.
"How could this happen?" Randy said.
Tio: "What on earth is going on?"
"Anyway, let's go back to the Support Section first." Lloyd said, "Then we'll say goodbye here."
Rector: "Well, come on."
Wuxiang said: "Please be careful in everything."
Lloyd and others immediately left Lubache.
Rector said: "Sure enough, that little girl is the key to all this."
"I said, do you think it's still too late?"
"This may be difficult," Wuxiang said.
Lloyd and others rushed to the support department.
"Sister Cecil!"
"Lloyd!"
"What happened to Kia?" Lloyd said.
"You said just now that Kia was taken away by Mr. Arios." Ellie said.
"Yes, Mr. Arios came alone in a white guard uniform. He said I'm here to pick you up, and Kia nodded." Cecil said.
"What!" said Lloyd.
"That means Kia left with him voluntarily?" Randy said.
"Well, it seems to me that's the case." Cecil said: "But she actually wanted to leave without informing you. It was really untrue, so I tried to stop her."
"But Chia told me, it's okay, don't worry. After hearing what she said, even Cait, who was full of vigilance, calmed down."
Tio: "By the way, Cait is also missing."
"After the two of them left, Cait also suddenly went out." Cecil said, "Maybe he went to chase them."
Lloyd; "What the hell is going on."
"Maybe I just want to meet Xiaoyu?" Ellie said.
"I originally thought so, but it doesn't seem to be the case." Cecil said: "Based on what Mr. Arios said, it seems that they are going to Mithulam."
Lloyd; "Mishauram?"
"Well, because he said that the boat has been prepared." Cecil said, "That means they should be going to Mishulam."
"But in the past few days, Mixiulam has completely stopped operating." Ellie said, "Why would you go to that kind of place?"
"Tsk, sure enough there is still a problem." Randy said.
"Let's go after them, Lloyd." Tio said.
"Well, we have to prepare to get off the boat. Sister Cecil is sorry that we have to chase them right now." Lloyd said.
"You must be careful, Mr. Arios and Little Kia both sang covers, and their eyes looked very serious." Cecil: "I think there must be a major hidden secret."
"I know, anyway, we have to catch up and ask everything clearly."
After that, Lloyd and others got on the speedboat and headed to Mithulam.
"Fortunately, the call has arrived, and we can finally set off." Ellie said. (To be continued)
