v2 Chapter 543: Ownership of the box

After Elaine left the room with some doubts, Abner squeezed his chin and asked the same thoughtful Hugh: "Baron Larry is the one who was dragged by the living corpse and the werewolf in the hall.' Punish the knight, right?"

"Yes... this is indeed a bit weird... It stands to reason that even if someone gets something in the hall, it should be the ‘Reaper’ Myron Colonel who had no opponents at the time..." Xio hesitated.

"There must be something we don't know about... You know, the incident of'the arrest of Baron Larry' was supposed to be the secret of your MI9, but the person who just called it told a maid... It's like leaking the news deliberately." Abner thought for a while and analyzed.

Xiu pursed her mouth, and suddenly sighed: "It feels like Ruen's military is full of conspiracies... It seems that everyone has..."

Although she doesn't have much sense of belonging to MI9, she is a full member after all, so she is somewhat complicated.

That's not because George III wanted to become a god. In order to hide the truth from the Orthodox Church, he naturally had to sacrifice some benefits and cooperate with some hidden organizations... And since there is cooperation, they must not be too true to some of their small actions, or even contribute to the flames. ......It will inevitably become more and more chaotic.

Although Abner knew the root cause of the crux in his heart, it was not easy to talk to Xio, and only told her that it would be best to join Her Highness Vera as soon as possible.

After all, the princess is a member of the royal family, and she will definitely not be assigned a too dangerous task. Xio can mix credit with her without being easily treated as cannon fodder or abandoned.

"I understand..." Xio nodded, then packed up her luggage, and when she was about to leave, she looked at the direction of the basement with a bit of reluctance, and muttered, "I still haven't soaked in a hot spring..."

Although she passed the internal inquiry of MI9, she did not have any problems. Even in order to avoid being "predicted" or "divided", Abner did not tell her the details of the "ship ticket" because of the calculation. The "Ghost Empire" will dock at the dock in June next year at the earliest, so Abner is not in a hurry to tell others, so as not to leak the secrets.

However, MI9 still sent a small team to monitor her from a distance.

Speaking of it, although the team was acting secretly, it still couldn't hide from Abner's eyes, so he knew everything about the opponent's heart.

However, it is precisely because of their existence that Abner is not good at launching the "Teleportation Altar" so as not to be discovered.

Hearing Hugh’s regret, Abner smiled and said, "Isn’t you able to go anytime after your mission is completed? Besides, I’ve already changed a lot of Fosac’s Jinhorne in a concealed way. You can buy that hot spring hotel."

"Okay." Xio nodded, and habitually wanted to raise her hand to grab her yellow hair, but then remembered that it took a lot of time to take care of them before the tarot meeting, and she couldn't help but stop.

"Abner, I have something to ask you for a favor." Xio raised his head and said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Abner asked curiously.

"The kind of hat on your maid's head that can change the'hairstyle'...I want one too."

...

Byam, in the three-story building where MI9 is ​​located, the demigod Tester and Georgina of the military are questioning a local person in charge of intelligence:

"Who told you to spread the matter of our arrest of Baron Larry?!"

"Your Excellency... is... Colonel Mellen's order..." the person in charge replied tremblingly.

"Myron?" Teste and Georgina looked at each other, and then asked, "He told you that Baron Larry took the box?"

"It seems to be..." The person in charge tried to think back, and sweat also ran down his forehead.

"What is like?" Duchess Georgina asked, frowning.

"It's just... I remember Baron Larry taking the box, but I can't remember how I knew..."

The person in charge said a few words like a dream, and then he woke up, "By the way, when Colonel Mellen asked me to spread the news, I only remember the result... But when and where did I meet the Colonel? Can't remember all of it."

"Can't you remember?" Teste waved his hand to let the person in charge leave, then frowned and walked a few steps in the room before asking the Duchess Georgina in a black evening dress: "What are you doing? Look?"

Duchess Georgina thought for a while and analyzed:

"According to Mountbatten, the box was taken by Myron and Card, and it has nothing to do with ‘Larry’...

"But, if this is what Mellen wanted to divert his attention, it would be too stupid. It's not like what an official MI9 officer would do.

"Of course, maybe the box itself has a problem... The ‘Prisoner’ approach is good at cursing. He has been amplified by ‘desire’, distorted his thoughts, and even replaced by another person is not impossible."

"It makes sense..." Teste nodded, then continued, "But it does not rule out that a third party is mixing the water!

"Perhaps, they just want to mislead us to give up tracking Larry and go to Tyron instead...

"But the reverse is also possible...

"Even if we expand our thinking, the purpose of Wuzhu is to let us separate our hands and find those two ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the real target is actually Card?

"It depends on how well our opponent knows us..."

Georgina thought for a moment, and said, "This way I fall into the trap of thinking... Just like Roselle's joke: "I predicted your prediction, you predicted my prediction. ...'."

"Yes, we have to find a way to regain the initiative..." Tester pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, and asked, "Vera is coming to Byam soon, right?"

"Yes, it will be there tomorrow at the latest... Do you want to?" Georgina replied, and her eyes lit up.

"The promotion of Vera to a demigod, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes don't know...In this way, we can be divided into three ways.

"Let Vera lead the team to hunt Larry, you lead the team to find Tyron, and I go to find Card...In this way, the three parties have the demigod to follow, and you are not afraid of the people behind the scenes playing tricks."

Teste was full of confidence.

Next, after the two finalized the details, the meeting ended.

However, before Tester returned to his lounge, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Are Prince Mountbatten's words really credible? Even if he passed the questioning between me and Georgina when he was in the Southern Continent...

But then he forgot the idea and pushed open the door of the lounge.

...

On a warship that had just left the range of the violent sea, Prince Mountbatten stared at the calm sea that was completely different from the sea behind him, and asked Vera, who also looked at the seascape: "Aunty, why are we going to Bayam?"

Vera turned her head, glanced at him meaningfully, and answered the question out of the question: "You'd better be careful when you get to Byam... After all, I might not be with you anymore..."

With that, she glanced at a seagull with black eyes on the mast.

...
