Chapter 114 Mutation
"It's time~"
Inside the carriage, Dorothy informed Vanya twice and began to activate the corpse ring, activating the corpse coachman and moving the carriage forward. As the coachman waved the whip, the horses pulled the carriage and started moving forward.
Relying on the crow puppet's bird's-eye view, Dorothy tracked the luxurious carriage in the distance. After traveling for a while, Dorothy soon encountered the same problem as last night.
Because of the speed difference, Dorothy's carriage was gradually left behind, and soon the gap between the two sides exceeded three miles, which exceeded the maximum radius controlled by Dorothy's corpse, so it could no longer continue to track.
But this time, Dorothy made another plan.
"Sister Vanya, it's up to you." Dorothy turned her head and said to the nun who was a little nervous beside her, and Vanya nodded in response.
"Huh... got it." Vanya said as she closed her eyes, and then began to sense something carefully.
"I see... just keep going forward..."
Listening to Vanya's words, Dorothy nodded and controlled the coachman to drive the carriage forward, gradually driving out of the city and into the dense woods.
In order to avoid the situation of being lost in tracking yesterday, Dorothy used Wen Hai Hang Zhi to ask Vanya if there was any means of tracking among the extraordinary people of "Light". The answer she got was a beacon seal.
The Beacon Sigil is a symbol with the meaning of "light" that can leave an invisible mark on the surface of an object. After a lamp extraordinary person memorizes a Beacon Sigil, he can sense the location of the mark left by this Beacon Sigil.
If you don't have the special ability of "lamp", you can also use a small compass-like prop to remember and locate. This small prop can play a role by consuming the spiritual reserves of "lamp". For example, it is used more frequently in the security bureau.
In Dorothy's understanding, this is a transmitter, and each one has different characteristics, similar to the wavelength. After the "light" is memorized, it can track and perceive at ultra-long distances.
After Dorothy learned about this prop, she asked Vanya if she had it. Unfortunately, Vanya was a civilian nun and did not usually participate in tracking missions, so she did not have this thing.
Then, Dorothy went to school early that morning and bought one from Aldridge for £30. She also spent £20 to ask how to eliminate the smell so as to avoid being smelled by the extraordinary person with sensory expression "cup".
Later she got the answer that it was to be packed in a container covered with "stone" medicine.
Finally, after Dorothy had Vanya memorize this signpost symbol, she printed it on a hair accessory bought on the street and gave it to Anna as a farewell gift. The processed headdress did not retain any of Dorothy's scent.
It was an insurance policy, just in case, and now it had worked, allowing Dorothy to track it all the way to her mentor's lair.
'Now, Viscount Field, who is a mentor, has been restrained by the Security Bureau. However, the Security Bureau cannot take action against Field before there is decisive evidence. They estimate that they will have to deal with it for a while. Even if the mentor makes trouble, although he is a black level, he cannot deal with the entire Security Bureau's strength alone. According to Vanya, the director named James is not a good person either.
"So, the mentor's base and his subordinates must be dealt with, and all the other children must be rescued, so that those subordinates will not do anything extreme after losing the mentor. Since the mentor is now dealing with the Security Bureau, I will take this opportunity to deal with this side. It should be no problem if there are no black ranks present."
Dorothy thought so as she continued to drive the carriage forward, gradually going deeper into the mountains. At this moment, Dorothy thought of something strange again.
'But then again, I originally thought that the instructor would resist on the spot and fight the hunters head-on to force a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that he would just agree to go to the bureau with the hunters?
'If you are facing the risk of being exposed, you will generally choose to fight hard, right? If you surrender and follow me back to the bureau, won't you have no chance at all? There is still a chance to escape outside, but once you are inside, won't there be no escape at all? Could it be that the instructor is confident that his disguise can completely deceive the entire security bureau?
"Or...?"
Sitting in the carriage, Dorothy was thinking and had a bad feeling in her heart.
…
In the basement of the Cypress Building, inside the Igwinter Security Bureau.
In the director's office, James and Viscount Field were sitting on either side of a desk, with a cup of hot tea in front of each of them, and they were talking to each other.
In front of them was a set of lyrics.
"So... Viscount Field, what you mean is that you came across these lyrics in an old book by chance, and because you thought they were very suitable for those children, you asked them to sing this song specifically?" Looking at Field in front of him, James spoke slowly and seriously, and Field also spoke righteously.
"Of course! So if you want to ask me about the specific source of this nursery rhyme, I don't know. I found that old book by chance on White Pearl Street many years ago. Now that store has long gone, where can I find it?"
In the office, James and Field were having a tense conversation, while outside the office, a group of hunters stood at the door, holding their weapons and waiting on the spot.
Among them, Elena stared at the scene in the office through a small window. Her eyes were fixed on Field in the office, and a circle of faint yellow light appeared at the edge of her pupils.
"How is it, Elena? Did you see anything?" Greg said while standing next to Elena, and Elena spoke slowly.
"He has a protection of the meaning of 'shadow' on him, but it's not very strong. I have seen through it. I can see that Viscount Field has a large amount of 'Cups' stored in his body, more than the average thirsty person. There are also some other strange places that I can't see clearly. But no matter what, there must be something wrong with Viscount Field!"
Elena said it affirmatively. Hearing her words, Gregor breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the team members around him and spoke in a low voice.
"Draw your weapons and be ready for action at any time..."
There was tight security outside the office, but inside the office, Viscount Field was still talking incessantly.
"James, I'm warning you again! If you don't...well..."
He was originally pointing at James Field, but suddenly his brows furrowed, and then he stopped talking and rubbed his temple. His expression became strange, his hands began to tremble unconsciously, and he began to mutter to himself.
"Something's wrong...something's wrong...something's wrong...what's going on? Why am I having a reaction? Didn't I just drink? Why is it like this now?"
"Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, James frowned and asked seriously, while Field slowly raised his head and said to James with a hint of panic.
"James, James... Is my butler Luer... here to pick me up?"
"housekeeper?"
After listening to Viscount Field's words, James immediately stood up, walked to the side, opened the office door and asked the team members outside.
"Has Viscount Field's butler arrived?"
"Butler? No... Mr. James."
Greg said in confusion, and at this moment, a scream was heard from the office.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Viscount Field, who had been sitting on the chair, had fallen to the ground, grasping the ground with both hands, his whole body twitching violently, his face flushed, and the mumbling from his mouth became sad.
"No...no...no...save me! I don't want to turn into a monster! Don't abandon me! Don't abandon my mentor!!"
In the midst of sorrow, mysterious red lines appeared on Field's body.
James' eyes widened as he watched this scene.
"Identify the poison...mutation..."
…
"Snap"
In the luxurious carriage, an old man with a goatee and dressed in butler's clothes turned off the pocket watch in his hand, then he sat on the seat and crossed his legs.
"The time has come, Field's side has begun..." As he spoke, the old man known as Luer placed the cane he had been holding at the top flat in front of him. The ruby on the top of the cane began to glow faintly red as he touched it.
"Thank you for your loyalty over the years, Your Excellency, my Lord."
