From her appearance, it seems that she is not clear about Heidegger's specific identity.
After confirming this, Hitzfeld began to continue his description.
This is actually a brand new experience for her.
Because this time was not like before, she was mostly from the perspective of a bystander.
Instead, she herself became those characters in her memories.
Similar to possession.
Be able to experience everything in accordance with their thoughts.
……
Heidegger arrived in Amelen around 1941 - the specific year was not mentioned in the clip, but Xia Yibing helped to deduce the time from some events and traces of personnel transfers.
Anyway, it must have been in 1943, before the abnormal outbreak of evil. Because before that, the evil curse in the whole territory of Sara had been suppressed by the mechanical Yang stone carvings, so the young Villefort made that judgment and felt that the rotation mission was "no big deal".
Eric Heidegger's first stop was Alphonse. After getting off the ship, he was almost immediately shocked by the prosperity and wealth of the city.
In the era when the three cities of Amiron rose, the cryolite mine had not yet been discovered in Orwater, nor had it become the most famous art palace in the North or even in the entire Sara.
The essence of the North is concentrated in the three cities of Alphonse, Mistel and Rundret. On the one hand, this is because they have the first-mover advantage, and on the other hand, it is also because they are close to the sea.
More than 40 years ago, given Sara's development, railways were not able to undertake the main transportation task. This task was still in the hands of sea transportation, and cities near the sea naturally have huge development advantages.
Alphonse has towering buildings, exquisite ice sculptures, the most prosperous commercial streets and beauties that are no less beautiful than those in the South.
But Heidegger had no interest in all this. He quickly reported to the base to take over his appointment, and then began to coordinate and control Alphonse's secret police, keeping them firmly under control for the next six months.
"Tree of Death? Seed of Destruction?"
On this day, he suddenly received an urgent secret order from the capital of Wayne. It suddenly mentioned that the three cities of Amiren might be facing a catastrophe, and asked him to cooperate with the special envoy who delivered the letter to guard Alphonse, "without any mistakes."
"I've never heard of such an evil species." He looked at the man behind the table, "Can you describe it to me?"
"The Death God Tree is the most terrifying evil species." The man pinched his throat and said, "It is too important and too deadly. Usually it is the highest-level file and cannot be easily disclosed to others. Even the secret police cannot make an exception."
"you……"
"But you are about to face its threat, Agent Heidegger, so it's okay to tell you."
After a stiff exchange, Heidegger fell into deep thought.
"Hmm." He looked up at the other person again, "Hey, Special Envoy Kevin. You said this thing randomly erupts in a 40-year cycle, but I haven't heard of any relevant information from any channel before?"
He felt that he could not understand.
Since Sara is still thriving and alive with everyone else, it means that this thing did not succeed in destroying the world.
His understanding should be correct, right?
In this case, no matter how much damage it caused in previous cycles, there should always be someone who can survive and pass on the disaster situation.
There are no files or archive records because they have been tampered with and sealed.
But the White Shadow Palace can't block folk legends...
Even if an order was issued prohibiting discussion of such matters, it has been passed down from father to son and within the family from mouth to mouth. It is impossible that there has been no explanation for all these years.
But he had never heard of a similar case in his many years of investigating cases.
This is not normal.
Envoy Kevin frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with his questioning.
But he still patiently explained to Heidegger: "Please imagine how many railways there were in Sara 40 years ago."
"Maybe thirty... maybe..."
“What about 40 years ago?”
"Not a single one." Heidegger knew what he meant.
The earlier the disaster occurred, the more people’s range of activities would be reduced due to inconvenient transportation.
The reduction in the range of activities means that the range of information transmission is small and the efficiency is low. If every outbreak of the Death Tree can really "exterminate an area" as written in the secret order, then it is possible to completely cut off the spread of information within a range.
"Another reason is that the Death Tree did not appear in the last cycle."
Kevin gave him another tip.
"Didn't show up? Why?"
"Nobody knows... but I think any normal person would hope it never happens."
In this way, Heidegger felt that everything made sense.
One cycle did not occur, and it had been nearly 80 years since the last eruption.
This time is enough for most people to die of old age, and those with less luck will have to replace two generations, which can easily cause information gaps.
But there is a new problem here -
"Since it didn't show up last time."
He looked at the feminine man behind the table.
"Why do you think it will come this time? And definitely in Ameren, in Alphonse?"
"You have a lot of questions, Agent Heidegger."
Envoy Kevin was getting impatient.
"You ask me, how do I know?"
"Your Majesty must have a way to confirm this. What we need to do now is not to figure out what methods Your Majesty has used, but to obey your orders unconditionally!"
"Are you trying to question His Majesty's orders, Agent?"
Heidegger naturally had no such intention.
He immediately apologized, temporarily extinguished his curiosity, and began to cooperate with Special Envoy Kevin in accordance with the requirements of the secret order to search for the seeds of destruction throughout Amiren.
It's difficult.
The requirements of the secret order were too vague, without specifying any characteristics, only stating that those chosen to become the Seeds of Destruction would exhibit obvious abnormalities.
This range is too large.
Amiren is covered by the Xieyang Stone Carvings, and the number of cases of evil spirits invading is much less than before. But once it happens, all those who have witnessed the disaster and come into close contact with those dirty things will most likely be left with psychological trauma.
Hysteria caused by evil spirits and accidents is common, and even the extraordinary people themselves may be the source of hysteria - being hurt by the extraordinary people or misunderstanding the abilities they hold may cause this effect. It is almost impossible to accurately find the seeds of destruction from such a large group in a short period of time.
The secret order gave a time limit of six months.
Heidegger didn't know what the deadline was based on, but he felt that it would be impossible to complete the task in half a year.
This amount of time is not enough to even check all the hysterical patients in the three cities.
But Special Envoy Kevin repeatedly stressed that this was a dead mission.
In addition, the bureau also sent confirmation information, so Heidegger could only do his best.
He began to personally participate in the front line of the search and acted separately with other police officers.
Time passes day by day.
Just when he was about to lose his patience and decided to write a letter himself to tell the headquarters that this was definitely a waste of time, he made a shocking discovery.
This discovery has nothing to do with the case.
It's about him.
It was a sunny afternoon. When Eric Heidegger was riding his bicycle under the tree-lined avenue, he was so worried about the case that he ignored the road conditions and accidentally knocked down a girl.
This is nothing, it can be solved by making an apology.
But when the girl looked up, Heidegger was stunned.
He didn't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world.
Because this girl looked exactly like Doyle's mother.

Chapter 42: The Destruction of Amiren 4
"May I have your name."
"Lijia..."
"The city has issued an ordinance prohibiting minors from going out in the afternoon. Why don't you obey it? What are you doing?"
"I... I didn't know about this decree... I have to go to the convent. I have an appointment with Sister Ilan, who will teach me to read and write..."
"Sister Ailan?"
After the conversation, Heidegger was somewhat shocked and angry. He was shocked that the girl seemed to be mentally incomplete. She looked like a 10-year-old, but her mental state was at the same level as a 6-year-old. He was naturally angry because someone knowingly committed a crime, and he vowed to thoroughly investigate this Sister Ailan.
But an hour later, when he drove Lijia to an extremely dilapidated monastery, he could no longer utter the accusations he had prepared.
The wall tiles looked like they hadn't been washed for years, and the building was old and looked particularly old and dirty. Like most monasteries, there was an iron gate, but it was completely rusted and I was afraid that if I grabbed the lever and pried it hard, I could tear it off the wall.
Heidegger simply couldn't understand it. He felt that even if the nearby residents were not religious, a monastery would not fall to this point.
"Because Sister Ailan is a flawed person." Li Jia seemed to sense his confusion and said, "Everyone thinks that if the goddess really exists, she will definitely not bless such a cursed servant. They think Sister Ailan herself can't see the goddess, so she has no right to say anything about them."
Although this child's mental development is slow, he is surprisingly sensible.
Heidegger couldn't help but look at Lijia a few more times, and the more he looked, the deeper his frown became.
So much alike, so much alike.
Whether it is appearance, hairstyle, hair and eye color, or even part of personality.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world? Can two people who are almost the same but different be born?
Especially since they are not twins, there is a gap of several decades between their births.
If Heidegger had not grown up with his wife and knew everything about her from childhood to adulthood, he would have suspected whether his wife had distant relatives outside.
Otherwise there’s no way to explain…this girl.
"Is there anyone outside the door?" At this moment, a soft voice came from the monastery.
"Lijia, bring the guest in. I've told you many times not to talk at the door - it's disrespectful to the guests and the goddess."
"Yes, Sister Ilan."
Heidegger soon met Sister Irene.
He now understood what Lijia meant before. This Sister Ailan was actually completely blind!
She should be around 30 years old, not young. Her appearance is just okay, but her eyes staring straight at me are very creepy.
After thinking about it, I realized that the Xieyang Cult did not have a rule that blind people could not become clergymen, but those were usually larger monasteries, and places like that would not be reluctant to support a few idle people.
But this small monastery was obviously in a very dilapidated state. There was no priest, no gatekeeper, and only this one nun was left, so naturally all the functions of the monastery fell on her shoulders.
Ordinary people may not care that there is a blind nun in the monastery, but if she is the only one and they have to preside over their prayers every time, they will definitely not be happy.
They must have all run to other streets and chosen other monasteries as places of prayer.
Senseless discrimination.
Heidegger made a judgment in his mind, briefly introduced himself to Sister Ailan, and then asked her what was going on with Lijia.
"She was an abandoned child just like me," the nun said softly. "When I found her, she was leaning against the wall, in a cardboard box. There was no letter or any instructions inside, so I brought her back..."
"She has no place to stay anywhere else?"
"No."
"What about the asylum? Why not send her to the asylum?"
"We tried." The nun shook her head, "But no matter what kind of asylum it is, they will send it back to the Ritz after a while."
"why?"
