The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 272: remember

A strangely shaped helmet was placed on Alicia Pompeii's head.

The female chess player whose consciousness was chaotic, her soul sensed something, a "priest" chess piece in the depths of her soul shattered, and the power contained in it penetrated into her soul...

The memory-seeking machine was activated, and the electric light was swirling around, increasing the power of divine magic. The unreasonable power directly began to peel off Alicia's spiritual essence and spy on her soul.

The pain of the soul is unbearable, and Alicia's screams resounded through the interrogation room.

"Searching for the concept - the touchstone."

The interrogator sitting in front of the operating table was inexplicably excited when he heard Alicia's howl - he liked his job very much. He was inexplicably pleased that Yu Jin was able to torture the once proud Foundation advisor.

At this moment, Rabilins has returned to the room, staring at the fog mirror lit by electric light where memories can be seen.

The first memory emerges...

one night.

Alicia, who couldn't sleep, was walking in the corridor of her house with her fox puppet in her arms—she wanted to find grandpa.

Usually, if little Alicia can't sleep, she can find her grandfather, Edgar Pompeii, in the lit library.

In this case, Grandpa would say with surprise, kindness, and a little bit of reproach, "Looks like our little princess can't sleep again."

Then, he would hold little Alicia on his knees and tell her an ancient legend...

Today, Alicia found that the library door was closed.

Not only that, but the voice of a man speaking loudly came from the door.

That voice, Alicia is very familiar, it is the voice of Dad, Labillings Pompey.

"...The Foundation's rules for using the Philosopher's Stone have long been clichés!

"For the well-being of mankind, why don't we use it a little more boldly?!..."

Her father's voice was loud, and Alicia was a little scared, but now she didn't know whether to go back to her room or stay here, so she had to helplessly guard the door of the library.

"The price? What price are you afraid of?!

"Which new technology, which kind of powerful force, does not need to pay a price?

"Pushing for gold costs people's lives, oil fields pollute the environment, and light and heavy industries all squeeze the common people...

"If the Philosopher's Stone is used for the well-being of most people, at a small price, what are you afraid of?!"

Grandpa's voice was much lower: "Rabilins, as a senior member of the Foundation, why do you speak like a politician?"

"Father, what I said is reasonable."

"What you said is not reasonable." Grandpa's voice was cold - Alicia had never heard him speak in such a voice, "It's an excuse."

"If you want, you and I, we can abolish the restrictions on the use of the Philosopher's Stone right now! - With stronger power, the divine court will cooperate more thoroughly with us...

"Enough! Rabilins! I don't want to hear your words whitewashing your ambitions.

"Regarding the rules of the Touching Stone, nothing will change!"

Rabilins' voice stagnated, and after a while, his tone was cold: "Restrictions, rules, restricted areas...

"It is precisely because you old antiques have only these things in your heart that the Foundation will go downhill."

With a bang, the door of the library was pulled open.

In front of Alicia, was her father's tall figure like a mountain.

Because of the light behind her back, Alicia couldn't see his expression.

"dad……"

Before he could say anything, Rabilins left as if he didn't see Alicia.

Holding her fox, Alicia looked at her grandfather who was sitting alone in the library.

Before Rabilins left, Grandpa was standing quite energetically.

After Rabilins left, Edgar sat down in his chair, hunched over.

Alicia has never seen her grandfather like this.

The first memory was over, and the magic began to search.

In the interrogation room, Alicia, who had already passed out of consciousness, had stopped screaming. She just rolled her eyes and twitched slightly.

The second memory begins.

Alicia, who was obviously grown up, walked angrily down a corridor.

She suddenly pushed open a door, and was seeing Rabilins in the room, her hands wrapped in the dawn light from the Philosopher's Stone—

He was experimenting with the properties of the Philosopher's Stone.

"When Grandpa disappeared..." Alicia couldn't suppress her anger, "You don't pay attention..."

"Did you do his disappearance!?

"Because you want to be the president of the foundation? Because of all the decision makers, only grandpa is against you being the president?!"

Alicia, who had been searching for the truth about her grandfather's disappearance, finally broke out, pointing to Rabilins and questioning.

Putting down the touchstone in his hand, Rabilins turned around and said, "Alicia, I won't investigate the tone of your speech to me...

He turned his head, but there was no anger in his eyes: "I just focused on my work, so I didn't get distracted to look for Edgar...

"How can you think of your father like that?"

There is no evidence, Alicia can only express her conjecture in a way of venting.

She gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how long it takes, I will get my grandpa back. I want him to prove that you did all this!"

Alicia slammed the door away.

The second memory is over.

Rabilins frowned while watching Alicia's memories alone...

The third memory doesn't seem to be far away from now.

Alicia hid outside a door and used the esoteric to eavesdrop on the sound in the room.

Rabilins's voice sounded in the room: "...this is a great opportunity, I plan to use all the Golden Stone reserves in exchange for the temporarily vacant divine position in the Utopia...

"We can't hesitate, a vacant divine seat is like a fresh antelope carcass on the grasslands to them...

"If I don't do it~lightnovelpub.net~Once other gods learn about the situation in Ocean City, they will definitely **** this divine position..."

Ralph Franken's voice sounded: "However, this may cause millions of deaths, I'm afraid public opinion will..."

"What public opinion are you worried about?" Ashur's voice was obviously contemptuous, "The president will already be a **** by then, and public opinion can change this fact?

"He will always bless the Foundation. Whether it's your experiment or my project, it can make a huge leap...  

"We may even become an organization on an equal footing with the imperial court..."

The conversation continues.

Alicia, who was worried about being exposed, hurriedly left the door.

The magic of memory search cannot target a specific piece of memory, but can only search based on "key concepts".

Therefore, what Rabilins saw were the memories of the "Philosopher's Stone" in Alicia's mind.

Staring at the fog mirror, Rabilins held his face in one hand.

He didn't feel impatient, on the contrary, his heart was a little excited-because he knew that, as he watched, Alicia's memory of hiding a little gold and stone reserves would appear...
