After getting what he wanted, Ren immediately left the Holy Gem Palace, found a house nearby, and burned his blood-stained coat and gloves along with the grass inside.
Looking at the jacket that was gradually turning into ashes, Ren still had the time to say thank you to the excited owner of the house next to him.
He had noticed that no one was following him on the road, which made him a little strange.
It's understandable that the Holy Gem leaderless group has no one to give orders to pursue the armored monster, but the fact that the World Council in the investigation team didn't send anyone is a bit unbearable to think about.
According to their previous style, even if they couldn't catch Ren, they would still have soldiers chasing after him.
However, these had nothing to do with Ren for the time being. He felt that he was about to leave, so he "drove" them outside on the grounds of severing ties to protect the owner.
After checking the ashes in the furnace one last time to make sure that they were completely burned and leaving nothing behind, Ren calmly waited for the teleportation to leave.
I just feel a little sorry for Miss Enid.
Before leaving, he thought so.
On the other side, Carruth had his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and he kept stroking his forehead with his palms, looking very distressed.
It's not that he doesn't want to chase the armored monster. After weighing the current situation, Kallus believes that dealing with the problem of the Holy Gem is the top priority.
The reason why he came to Holy Gem was to cooperate with Holy Gem and try his best to suppress what happened on the 500th anniversary celebration of Finn III.
As for catching the armored monster, I can't catch it anyway.
Before coming, the organization gave him three tasks:
The first priority is to make the investigation team find nothing and return completely without success.
This is basically impossible. The top management said that he should do his best.
If you can't do that, perform the second task:
Try to remove the World Parliament from the incident, or reduce the impact on the reputation of the World Parliament after the incident is exposed.
After all, after the Holy Gem incident occurred, the World Council fabricated a lot of things to cover up the scandal.
From the beginning, Kallus' goal was to complete this second task, and his method was to let the Holy Gem Kingdom take the blame unilaterally.
Anyway, Finn III is crazy, and with a little guidance, he can take over all the responsibilities.
If even this second task cannot be completed, the third task as the bottom line will be assigned to Carruth:
Don't let the dignitaries from various countries who participated in the celebration be implicated.
These people also talked a lot of nonsense afterwards.
In short, this is the minimum requirement that the top leaders of the Parliament have for Karus: the Parliament can lose face, but the reputation of each kingdom cannot be damaged - only in this way can the stability of the world continue to be maintained.
So after the armored monster left, Kallus had no intention of pursuing him.
While he cut off the broadcast, controlled the people present, and sent the investigation team members back to the hotel, he contacted the parliament headquarters and asked for a solution.
After receiving a perfunctory reply that told him to play it by ear, Carruth became furious and almost quit.
In the end, encouraged by words such as "stability" and "responsibility" from the headquarters, I had to hurry up and start solving the problem of the Holy Gem.
Carruth locked himself in his room and thought about the decision for more than half an hour, and finally he came to the conclusion:
What the hell am I thinking!
Finn III appeared in the investigative team, appeared on TV, and was seen by people all over the world. What else could he do?
The armored geek openly admitted that he was the one who drove people crazy. No matter how much you scolded him or condemned him, what would happen?
The king is crazy, so we can’t let him continue to be king, right? We ordered a nationwide lockdown, so there’s no reason to continue to enforce it, right?
Now outside the border checkpoint of the Holy Gem Kingdom, reporters have gathered in droves, as well as a large number of arrogant protesters who dare to come. Kalus reluctantly used the armor. The weirdo may still be in the Holy Gem territory, and needs to be hunted and eliminated.
The reason temporarily stopped them outside, but they couldn't hold on for long.
Everyone knows the armored weirdo's crime style, never staying in one place for more than a day.
And once these reporters enter Holy Gem and come into contact with the people, they will know what happened on the day of the celebration and the reason why the whole city of Holy Gem was closed.
Well, these are just superficial issues. At worst, Kallus will go all out, give up the second mission, and take full responsibility on behalf of the World Parliament and Finn III. It is said that the Parliament failed to do its job in the original investigation and did not fully understand it.
The case of the Holy Gem.
As long as the kingdoms are stable, the Parliament will be stable.
A deeper problem arises with the armored monster, that is, the question of the justice of the armored monster.
Once the truth about the Holy Gem incident is revealed, even though what the armored monster did was illegal, it cannot be considered a heinous crime.
"Unless he is a Brica..."
Carruth thought with pain in his balls.
If the judgment that the armored weirdo was "heinous" from the first time he appeared is wrong, then the public will question what happened next? Did you, the World Council, make a mistake again, and the armored weirdo is actually a good person?
Kallus couldn't imagine that if the truth about the Famata, archaeological ship and other incidents were also exposed...
"Stable~Stable!"
Carruth patted his forehead, feeling a headache.
…
Although her cell phone and ID were confiscated because she was suspected of being related to the armored weirdo, and she was locked up in her room, Enid was not in a bad mood now.
She was not worried that she would get into any trouble because of this. The Lelin family helped her forge her identity, and Enid believed that the other party would solve the thank you problem for her.
This is not considered forgery. Enid did join a certain gem appreciation organization and became the president of the organization.
Although it doesn't last long.
As for Bell's identity, and even the name Enid may not be real, using a nickname to join the investigation team doesn't seem to be a big problem.
What Enid is thinking about right now is still about the armored monster.
She was almost certain that the armored weirdo was Ren.
almost.
Even though these two words exist, they have completely different meanings.
"In the absence of conclusive evidence, I have nothing to do with him. He just needs to refuse to admit it. It's okay to directly disclose his speculation, but I don't seem to want the armored monster to be caught. Damn boy, I expected it.
Do I think so?"
Enid leaned back on the sofa, wondering if there was anything else she could use.
The key to the problem lies in the uniqueness of the armored weirdo. This mysterious guy can come and go freely around the world, so the motive and method of the crime are not important at all. There is no need to consider whether the other party has the ability to complete the case. As long as you find out what can directly prove the other party.
Just evidence of the armored monster.
Such as blood.
It's a pity that the coat has been taken away by the armored monster.
"I quite like that outfit."
Enid complained slightly and turned to consider another question.
