"Then I can guarantee that the slope is now guarded by our people, and no one can enter."
"That's enough. Thank you Kangana, you did a great job."
This kind of conversation...it seems that I was not asleep for long.
But who is Sheriff Dabe?
The sheriff of Manion?
She seems to have met some new people...
I have to...I have to wake up as soon as possible.
Xia Yibing lay on the bed and tried hard to open her eyelids, but it was such a simple thing, but she couldn't do it after trying several times.
"I don't think it's that troublesome!"
This is another unfamiliar voice.
"To put it bluntly, isn't it that you suspect that there are evil followers of Eclipse behind this? There aren't many places for them to hide, except in the mountains and in the tribes of the natives! Then why don't we just arrest all the natives and interrogate them? Isn't that why you brought the army here?"
"You are a little too irritable, Belmaren..."
"No, I think he's right now."
"…Hitzfeld? Count?"
"This is an emergency, Maps, please don't look at me like that. If I can, I certainly don't want to use such drastic means, but you saw that thing before. Is its power less than that of the 'Golem God'? Even old Baal couldn't stop it... With such a threat in front of us, do we still have to investigate step by step?"
"… Then you are right."
"My idea is that Marseille and his men are going to bring those natives here. They should have received information from the prison and are here to question us. So the people they are bringing should be important enough, maybe representatives, elders, etc. We can explain the situation directly to these people. If they are willing to cooperate with our investigation, that would be the best. If not, we will do as Belmaren said."
"…What do you think?"
"I feel good."
"It's long overdue!"
"You are the leader...you come..."
How rare.
Xia Yibing found this conversation interesting. Although the corners of her mouth couldn't be lifted up uncontrollably, it didn't stop her from laughing in her heart.
Aisuen seemed angry.
Is it because of me?
Because I have been lying here without waking up...so even she, who is so gentle, has to start using thundering methods.
Reason told Xia Yibing that this might not be the case, because no matter how you look at it, the girl's proposal was the best solution. She believed that even if she was not lying here, she would make the same decision.
But perhaps due to the influence of the flower mist, her consciousness was a little confused, and she always liked to fantasize about things that could make her spirit happy. She felt happy just by thinking about such things.
"Bang-"
The sound of a door opening.
Then there was another round of standing up, one, two, three... Aisuen seemed to be sitting there without moving?
It can make others stand up reflexively, but Aisuen deliberately sits still to put pressure on them...
Her thoughts wandered, and Xia Yibing felt that she knew who was coming.
"Good evening, Mr. Glarant."
"Good evening, Count Hitzfeld."
After a brief greeting, the person seemed to be holding something and handing it over.
"what is this?"
"Your Majesty asked me to hand over something to you - in fact, it is also my interrogation record."
"Yours? Interrogation records?"
"Well... this is a long story. Wasn't I taken away by those people before?"
"Ah."
"They said they wanted to build a personality model for me, and based on the results, they would determine whether I was trustworthy... It was during this process that they dug out a lot of secrets from me, some of which I had almost forgotten. Anyway, she wanted me to give this to you, saying that it would help you use me better."
"It feels weird coming from your mouth..."
"Good evening Mr. Darent, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yeah... I didn't expect our meeting again would be like this..."
"Apart from this record, is there anything else?"
Hitzfeld spoke again.
"Because I didn't see Conte-Sixus, then she should at least ask you to bring some news about her."
Yes.
Xia Yibing reacted suddenly.
Fran Middle School - the Abbey of the Heart has been lost. No one can say for sure what happened to Sixus's heart.
If something goes wrong with her heart, will she die?
At least we can confirm how her heart is doing now by her condition, and make some judgment more or less.
"Just one word," said old Barr.
"what?"
"Dr. Sixus asked me to bring it to you. She said she seemed to remember that there was a special reason why the Monastery of the Heart was set up in this place."
"What's the reason...?"
"Someone suggested that she do this. She said that person told her, 'The magnetic field of the earth veins here is different from other places. Only here can your madness be restrained.'"
"…She said that?"
"Correct."
For some reason, Xia Yibing always felt that Old Bal seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What else did she say?"
"She also said..."
"Ok?"
"She also said that the person who gave her this advice seemed to be named 'Manion'."

Originally, I was going to post this chapter at 0: with a blessing, but a bunch of messy things made it so busy...
Anyway, I wish you all a happy new year~!
Be happy in the new year~!
Chapter 33 Intelligence Summary (Two in One)
Manion... Is Manion called Manion because there is a person named 'Manion'?
Not to mention that everyone in the room was confused, even Xia Yibing, who was eavesdropping, felt a little bewildered.
You know, she likes to read case files when she has nothing to do. She has been like this since before she took the position of director. After becoming director, she read them even more crazily in order to be competent... It can be said that no one knows more about these messy old news than her, which naturally includes the local chronicles of many parishes and cities, but she has never heard that the naming rules of Mannion City are related to people with the same name.
Did I miss it?
Or is this place so remote that even the people who record the information are too lazy to take care of it?
No... Impossible. They are all people living under the shadow of gray fog. What does this have to do with whether it is biased or not? Isn't it true that the more remote the place, the more likely it is to encounter serious evil disasters? From this perspective, there will be more and more files about Manion, not less. Hmm... So I rarely see files about this place, probably because those files were deliberately intercepted.
After all, there is the Abbey of the Heart here, which is related to an "old antique" like Sixus. Perhaps there have been some evil events surrounding the heart over the past few decades. To be on the safe side, the royal family chose to intercept the information, and even her position could not access it.
Of course, this may be because she had just taken office at that time and needed to prove her ability. Trust is not something that can be achieved by just swearing an oath under the sword. Now she knows this...
Just as she was daydreaming, the conversation between Hitzfeld and Bar-Gallant had come to an end.
There was nothing to talk about in the first place, and the current situation was not suitable for small talk and reminiscing. She couldn't ask Old Barr a question like "Why did you choose to join Shadow Lion" in front of Frick and others who were not very familiar with him.
"Knock knock knock" the sound of knocking on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened again with a strange "ah" sound, and then Ashley's voice came: "The Maasai Knights are back, and with them comes the chief priest of the Dab tribe, 'Fram'."
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes and observed the people in the room. Hmm... her mother Xiasha was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, and Heath's mother was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands folded. Next to them were Knight Frick, Knight Carlo, and Agent Darent... Was that old man the dragon?
She was a little surprised that she didn't see Daryl, but she quickly remembered that the protection work Daryl was responsible for had always been carried out in secret, and being easily seen by others would mean the failure of this job.
So she didn't say anything more, and followed Hitzfeld's instructions to invite those people, and they would meet them in the public reading room next to this room later.
After this episode, the people in the room left one by one with great courtesy - the layout of the public reading room was similar to the lounge of the Xixinna Administrative Building, and they planned to stand outside first to give the patients and their families some privacy.
Hitzfeld didn't think too much about it. After everyone left, she turned back and leaned close to the woman's face and said to her, "How long are you going to pretend to be dead?"
Since returning from the Land of Origin, what miraculous changes have taken place in the two of them, let's not talk about it for now, but the connection between their spirits is closer than ever. Of course, she had already felt that Xia had woken up.
This was probably why she acted relatively calm. Xia Yibing guessed that she agreed to use force against the natives only because she was angry, but she was not that angry yet, otherwise this meeting would have directly escalated into violent detention.
She was very sure that this would happen... because this was the person she cared about and loved the most, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to remain sane if that situation really happened.
"I'm so sleepy and tired, I need a kiss from the princess to wake me up."
Xia Yibing's lips were dry and cracked, so she tried to speak these words using ventriloquism. It sounded a bit rumbling, but Hitzfeld still understood it.
Princess? There is only one princess here, and that is her, the Mechanical Princess.
Looking around to make sure there was no one else here, Hitzfeld casually lifted the hair on the left side of her body, leaned over, and pecked the woman's trembling lips.
A magical thing happened - Xia Yibing suddenly felt that she had regained control of her body. She immediately opened her eyes and looked at the girl. They stared at each other for a long time, and then she lay down and said, "Lana is still alive."
She knew that Hitzfeld had just gathered everyone to summarize the intelligence, and she also knew that the most important part missing in this job was herself.
Only she - only I know what happened in Fran Middle School. Only I have seen Lilan Yongdor. Only I know that there are billions of Mithros undead imprisoned in Lana's dream and are trapped in eternal reincarnation. Only I know that the monster is most likely Lana.
She had heard the conversation just now and knew that Hitzfeld would have to go to the reading room to meet someone soon, so he had no time to be affectionate with her. He described what happened to him and Darent at Fran Middle School in a concise and hurried tone.
"That's great news." Hitzfeld's mood seemed to be more lively. "I'm so happy... You really are a lucky star~"
Is this good news?
The women were unable to react for a moment, they realized that they were being targeted by a great being!
“Being coveted by the Great One is bad news. But the good news is… this Great One is not on the same side as the Gray Mist Evil God.”
Hitzfeld twirled his gray hair with his left hand, a sly smile on his face: "We don't have to worry about it calling for help. As long as we solve this problem, we can quell the hidden danger. Isn't this good news?"
Are you sure you want to think so?
Xia Yibing blinked. She knew that was the truth, but the problem was that he was a great being after all! Could he just solve it?
"Lana has weaknesses." Hitzfeld narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at her, highlighting the delicate chin and white neck.
"You should have heard it call me 'Julia'."
"I heard it..."
"Your incarnation in the dream world is 'Xia Lan', and I am 'Julia'. I speculate that the body is one of the gods of Mithros. Here we must first confirm one thing, that is, Li Lan-Yondor, does he think Lana is out of control?"
"I..." Xia Yibing really wanted to recall the conversation with Li Lan, but for some reason, she, who always had a good memory in this regard, couldn't even remember any details of the conversation.
"I'm not sure he ever said the word 'out of control.'
"Then let's just call it an inference... At least that's what I think - the Mithros originally wanted to use Lana's specialness to deposit their spirits in her spirit, that is, in the dream world and travel far away. They have obviously fought with the Gray Mist Evil God here. You can clearly see that this operation is more like the Gray Mist side, which means they are also learning and borrowing. They want to control, not only Lana, but also the skills learned from the 'Mother of the Void'."
Just like the Sara people learned to draw strength from nightmares - Xia Yibing nodded slightly in her heart.
It would be strange if the two sides had really experienced a long and drawn-out war and the people of Mithros had learned nothing from it.
"They had been controlling Lana before that," Hitzfeld said. "This control was very stable. I don't rule out the possibility that it was because they had real bodies at the time, but I'm more inclined to believe that the reason why Lana lost control was that all the Misros people who were truly qualified to control her died in the battle."
"Are you saying 'Julia' is that kind of person?" Xia Yibing reacted quickly and immediately realized that she was talking about that name.
'Julia' is a super extraordinary person from Mithros. She and some others can control Lana, but with the defeat of Mithros, these people died, so Lana lost control. The "Dream World" plan of the Mithros people failed. Lilan-Yondor, as the only exception, had to come out for help, but no matter how special he was, he could not control or suppress Lana's madness, so after he escaped, Lana naturally went berserk. This rage was immediately stopped after sensing the existence of Aisuen, because it recognized... recognized Aisuen's spirit, which was very similar to the character she attached to in the dream world.
...Could this be the truth?
