Chapter 139: Page 139

She couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"So I asked you if you came into contact with any strange people at that time."

Looking up, Year Rings stared at him with two light yellow eyes.

"If you are sure that the data in this table is correct, then I guess you have encountered someone who also has a divine organ... because the feeling you described is exactly the same as the collision reaction between the 'God Devourers' mentioned in the literature."

"You said you met ..."

“It’s the most direct physical contact.”

"That shouldn't be the case." Hitzfeld shook his head affirmatively.

"I never liked—"

She suddenly paused.

My memory goes back to the night when fatigue broke out.

I seemed to see a black-haired girl wearing glasses running up the stairs again.

He exclaimed and bumped into her who was caught off guard.

Chapter 50: Instinct Online

On Sunday, a mechanical sun was high in the sky.

Standing on the empty street in front of the library, looking up, Hitzfeld found that she couldn't see it clearly at all - all her vision was blocked by the strong light.

A hand covered her right eye, and her vision went completely dark.

"Looking at it for too long will hurt your eyes." Xia Yibing said, "...When did you start to be interested in this thing?"

"From when they mention 'bishop' and 'rite.'

Hitzfeld replied softly.

The wooden man at the counter - she still called it a duck's voice, and that's what she did say at the time.

This stands for the "Cult of the Goddess of Machinery and the Sun", a religious organization that is also closely related to the Wheel of Fortune. At least many of the high-ranking bishops are disguised wooden figures.

From this perspective, the power of the Wheel of Fortune is too great.

It is like a giant tree standing in the port of Wayne, with endless roots drilling into the soil and underground, intertwined with those human forces. Everyone...even the royal family, has to rely on the shade of the tree to survive.

No wonder even the king couldn't borrow books casually.

Those rules that seemed exaggerated before are now easy to understand.

"Shall I take you back?"

Xia Yibing didn't know how to continue the topic, and her tone changed abruptly.

"Alfred doesn't have much time left. If he is discovered, all his thirty years of experience will be wasted."

"Yeah." Hitzfeld responded.

"But I need to buy a newspaper first."

The library is also located in the city center, and the post office is less than 200 meters away.

It was not even 6am yet, so the post office would not open so early. But this was obviously not a problem for a Shadow Lion agent. Xia Yibing picked the lock in two or three moves, and the two sneaked into the newspaper office.

"Why do you suddenly want to buy a newspaper?"

Looking at Hitzfeld taking a copy of the stacked "Wayne Daily" and leaving a 22-beck bill in the drawer, Xia Yibing said curiously.

She had read all the contents of the newspapers - most post offices were closed during the night and shops were also closed, so the contents of Saturday's newspapers would be twice as much as normal. She had read them all yesterday.

But Hitzfeld reading the newspaper is amazing.

Almost every time she went to see her, she was either reading a book or copying something.

newspaper?

Gossip and rumors are not as important as knowledge.

"Because what I learned last night reminded me that I shouldn't limit my thinking to a small circle."

After leaving the newspaper office, Hitzfeld flipped through the Wayne Daily as he walked.

This trip to the library for help was really fruitful.

One is to know the secret of the wooden people, and the other is to get some guesses about the truth of the evil spirits.

Of course, as the tree rings say, these secrets are of no importance. As long as they are not known to everyone and cause unrest in society, it is useless to spread them around.

Her real reward was determining that the eye was harmless.

It was determined that the collar was protecting her heart.

And most importantly, it determined that there was something wrong with Aglaia.

According to the tree ring theory and comparing the data in the two tables, Hitzfeld can be sure that the crazy study in that week did not put too much strain on the body.

Then the reason for the illusion of neurasthenia and the reason that caused Sixus to misjudge could only be the collision with Aglaia on the steps of the Dream City.

She recalled carefully and found that the headache did indeed occur after the impact.

Aglaia is most likely also a divine eclipse.

Look at it this way: a God Devourer who didn't know what god's organ he had fused with, concealed his identity and sneaked into the royal capital, sneaked into Pusilint, and even gained the trust of the dean of the Divine Academy.

It's hard to say that she is harmless.

If we consider Ferdinand's connection with the death ticket case, then Aglaia's purpose is even more terrifying.

"summer."

"how."

"Do you think there is a possibility that Aglaia is the dean's daughter?"

"That sounds a bit...why do you think that?"

"According to the information you gave me, the case of Mianza's murder and Ouniya's cover-up was concluded in January 1967. Ouniya was already pregnant at the time."

"After the trial, she divorced Ferdinand and was sent to Feydun Castle for six years. Six years later, the 'King of the Sun' Deepnes broke through Feydun Castle and sacrificed almost all the prisoners. That means that no matter whether Onia was dead or alive, she only stayed in Feydun Castle for a total of six years."

"Is such that."

"Taking into account the gestation period, the child would have been six years old when Feydungburg fell."

"That was 1973, and now it's 1984, with a gap of 11 years in between. If we assume that this child had always been alive, she should have..."

"She should be at least 17 years old." Xia Yibing added, "...that's true."

17 is old.

This should be very close to Aglaia's approximate age.

"And do you remember the poisoned letter?"

Hitzfeld put down the newspaper.

"You said that the bureau has set up a special investigation team. Has the investigation yielded any results so far?"

The woman shook her head.

We can’t say those people are trash, but the poison is confusing.

They couldn't figure out the murderer's purpose.

"At the time, I listed several possibilities, including revenge against Agent Tariq, dragging Director Villefort down to stir up trouble, and killing me."

Hitzfeld said softly.

"Looking back now, we shouldn't have made multiple-choice decisions."

She thinks all of these options are correct.

The most critical and strange thing here is the last option.

If Shadow Lions were infiltrated, so that the killer could get the latest information at any time, it would make sense for them to retaliate immediately after Tariq made progress in the investigation.

Then why did it affect her...and Esun Hitzfell?

Her contribution to the case was really limited, and I believe the murderer's accomplices would not - at least not at the beginning - focus their attention on her as an assistant teacher.

Hitzfeld analyzed that there are two possible reasons why it still attracted malicious intent.

First, the other party did not want Ferdinand to be noticed so quickly, and she accelerated the process, causing Tariq to begin to suspect Ferdinand, which aroused the murderer's dissatisfaction.

The second reason has nothing to do with Ferdinand, or not much to do with him, but someone on the murderer's side noticed her specialness and didn't want to give her the opportunity to get involved.

If it is the first one, there is naturally nothing much to say, the logic is very smooth.

But if it is the second one.

What did she do to make those people notice her?

Open class?

Not too possible.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid the only identity is that of an assistant teacher.

They saw it as an intrusion into territory they controlled - someone who was out of their control was also approaching Ferdinand.

From this perspective, Aglaia is really a big suspect.

The collision might have been just a test.

She discovered that there were also Devourers here.

So he planned to take her life.

"Can we go quicker?"

Xia Yibing's voice trembled a little.

What Hitzfeld deduced was too important, so she had to rush back as soon as possible to have a secret meeting with Villefort and others.

"Hmm~"

Hitzfeld considerately quickened his pace and said, "But there is one more question I don't understand."

Right now--

If Aglaia is really related to the murderer, she is hiding in Puslint as a student and has a purpose in approaching Ferdinand, then the organization behind her is almost certain to be the Eclipse Church.

After all, it was those lunatics who broke through Feyton Castle. If Aglaia was that girl, the only reason she survived was that the Eclipse Church adopted her.

Hitzfeld didn't think the organization would invest much in a little girl's desire for revenge.

But they really seemed to do it.

So what is the reason?

What made them take such a risk and come to the capital, the headquarters of the Wheel of Fortune?

She felt there was a more horrifying truth behind the case.

Makes her uneasy.

Make her excited.

She continued to look down at the Wayne Daily.

I saw a bold news in the sports section:

[受雨水影响,原定于周六下午15:00举办的红狮队和巨人队的第12轮联赛比赛将更改到周日下午15:00。]

[As compensation, all tickets for the next game are half price. Citizens who see this message, please spread the word.]

Chapter 51: The Man in Black Outside the Stadium

It's still a small wooden house underground.

Ruth-Annual was leaning back in her chair, smoking a cigarette, with her long, slender, yet sensual legs crossed.

Hitzfeld's doubts were completely correct. No matter from which angle or distance one looked at her closely, one could not see any trace of "plant" in her.

"Dong dong dong."
