Chapter 14: Land of Sighs (14)

In the second half of the game, Slane Academy swept all the way to first place. When the scores were settled, it was no surprise that they retained the throne they had sat on for ten years and took the lead again. The senior executives gathered in the conference room, where a miniature scene model of the real-time game was projected.

"Whose child is that white-haired girl? I don't remember that there was a noble family in the dawn who inherited a magic-type supernatural power."

"Is the child of Haili actually a high-level one... His performance is not bad. I heard that the head of the Haili family did not do much to train him. It seems that the social circle will be lively again in the next few days."

"I heard that the player named Makisuke was promoted to a high-level player a few days ago. His performance in the selection competition was also very good. We can consider recruiting him."

"Is this girl You Bai? She's quite capable, and she's also a rare spatial awakener. We really need her."

The competition's main focus was on Slane College, and occasionally she would mention talents. The woman in a white suit stood up and projected the selected live clips onto the screen. Her rose-colored nails touched the personal information on the side. "This student's performance is very interesting."

"I heard she's level five? Judging from her performance, she should be close to being promoted. She's very sensitive and knows how to use appropriate means. I like this player very much."

The woman casually lifted the golden curly hair that was scattered on her chest. She was so beautiful that she was bold and unrestrained, which overwhelmed the cold purity of the white uniform, and instead highlighted her pride and confidence, attracting attention like the sun. "I want to put her on the list of 'recommended students'. What do you think?"

Her tone was so arrogant that she didn't even ask for others' opinions. Of course, as the most powerful and only plunderer in the family and the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Capital Executive Building, she naturally had the capital to make the decision.

She was responded to with silence that seemed to be tacit consent.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys continue your discussion." Kanan Sa waved his hand and left. Originally, the imperial capital sent only the space raider and several sixth-level awakeners, but the head of Naleh happened to have something important to do, so he had to entrust her to bring Motie back, so she submitted an application.

Just treat it as a short vacation.

Besides...

she remembered the undisguised familiarity of the girl with gemstone eyes when she smiled, and felt that this journey might be much more interesting than she thought.

"Where is the information I want?"

Kanan walked up to his subordinate, and his high heels made a crisp sound. She lazily played with her long hair, and said nothing more after a question, without even glancing at him. The new assistant, who knew her temperament well, was already sweating coldly.

"Sorry, Minister! We only found the information after she transferred it, and the past data... is blank."

Interesting, a blank background.

Either she was protected too well by her family, or she appeared out of nowhere, but the latter is unlikely, unless she is an exiled person.

"Pay attention."

Kanan snapped his fingers, "Don't let anyone find out, my new assistant."

The assistant remembered that Kanan's previous subordinates had a hard time finding a job after being fired, and nodded with a forced calm. She did not leave with Kanan. After watching the blonde woman go away, she turned back to the conference room and stood silently at the door waiting.

Kanan had a bad relationship with the plunderer, so she was asked to pass on some paper documents. She

waited until the meeting was over, and the assistant smoothly handed the things to the man in gray suit. She was relieved and left, and naturally she didn't know anything about what happened afterwards.

So when she was taken for interrogation at night, she was still confused.

"You mean Minister Ya...? It is said that Minister Ya has a very regular schedule. He should have adjusted to the jet lag and fallen asleep by now."

"Ya is dead."

"W-what?!"

Shocked, she suddenly realized the real purpose of this conversation. She was terrified and her face turned pale. "I, the last time I saw Minister Ya was because I had to hand over a document to him. It wasn't me! I'm just a fifth-level awakener! How could I hurt him!"

"Of course we know it can't be you, Miss Assistant, please calm down first." The interrogator tried to make his tone sound gentle and soothed, "The questioning just now was just a procedure. We are looking for you to get your help."

"You can restore the damaged things and see what happened at the time, right?"

"Yes."

"We will take you to see Ya, please be prepared."

She had never thought that she would see Ya again in this way, and in the archives of Slane College.

The gray formal suit was no longer clean and decent, stained with blood. The long knife that absorbed life force pierced his chest, taking away his heartbeat and pulse, making the night even more silent.

A look of panic was fixed on the face of this superior who was always good at deciding other people's lives. Ya opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately he could no longer utter words.

Although she still couldn't believe it, the assistant didn't say what she shouldn't have said. She turned her eyes away for a while to ease the shock brought by the scene of death, and waited until she was not so repulsive before approaching.

She closed her eyes and reached out to touch his cold arm.

Her supernatural power was activated. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Ya Zheng standing upright, holding an encrypted personal file and reading it carefully with his eyes downcast. She stood aside, quietly looking around.

"Hide and seek is not fun, classmate, don't you come out?"

A low voice suddenly sounded, scaring her so much that she jumped back. She looked up and saw Ya Zheng staring at her. She reacted a little late and turned to face the empty aisle. She blinked in confusion, but her confusion was soon dispelled.

A pair of pitch-black short boots stepped into the empty territory in front of her.

Uniform tight combat uniform, thin figure, white bracelet symbolizing identity, scattered long white hair, and...

a "blank" face.

She couldn't see the face of the person.

It was the difference in level! She came back to her senses and was speechless with shock, but even a high-ranking person wouldn't be like this, unless... he was a predator.

There was something wrong with this student!

White hair, a bracelet from Slane College, a petite figure that looked like a girl... She quickly combined the information she knew so far, and the answer she got made her frown.

It was the student that Minister Canan was concerned about, Dorota.

Did she kill Ya? !

How is this possible? !

"I heard that you are one of the best plunderers in the imperial capital. I came here specially to ask you for advice. I'm sorry, I seem to have disturbed you."

The girl's gentle voice was extremely pleasant, as if she was deliberately tempting him. But Ke Ya remained unmoved. He looked at her calmly and threw the file in his hand back into the cabinet. "Slaine's file room is a confidential place. Let's not talk about how you found this place. How did you break through the guards outside?"

"You said that bunch of idiots?"

Dorota smiled, "The answer is simple, isn't it?"

"But compared to this, I am more concerned about another thing."

Dorota pointed to the file bag he had just held, and stretched out her hand to signal Ya to hand the things to her, like an ignorant and curious student, without any harm, "This file is what I need, can you give it to me? Thank you for your cooperation."

The young minister said nothing, and the ripples on the water surface rippled across the space. In an instant, he was standing in front of the girl, looking down at her. Dorota, who was at a disadvantage, was not annoyed. Hard ice spikes grew from the ceiling and fell down, piercing the cold light in her eyes.

With his expensive leather shoes stepping steadily on the edge, Ya stood on top of the filing cabinet. The file was back in his hands at some point. "Breaking into the filing room is not the behavior of a good student. I'll record it."

"It's really a pity."

"But..."

Ya lowered his eyes and finally condescended to face her existence. "You give me an incongruous sense of familiarity."

"An ordinary exchange student from the fifteenth district and an executive officer above thousands of people in the imperial capital... this association is really ridiculous."

"You don't care about the answer itself, do you?"

A firm tone replaced the question. The ice froze the space, but at the same time, the space could also swallow everything. The ice spikes hung on the silver-white wall and disappeared, and the coldness didn't even have time to permeate.

Dorota stared at the information in his hand and laughed involuntarily, "I thought you would be generous enough to give it to me."

Ya threw the file into space and let it fall into an unknown corner, "Are you a subordinate of 'Night Watch'?"

"Wow, you guessed half right, guess again?"

The pure white dagger that seemed to be cast by the moonlight fell into his palm, and the edge was painted with beautiful roses in hot gold, about to bloom, retro and elegant. The black-haired woman with a blade carved by a cluster of flowers, she has closed her eyes and is sleeping, her hands are clasped in front of her, a silhouette of the past that was a gift of warmth, beautiful like a scroll.

Dorota raised her finger and stroked the corner of her eye. I don't know what she thought of, and she curled her lips to reveal a smile that was not true. The angle is always perfect, and whether it is true or not is just a foil.

"Or should I say..."

A pitch-black crack opened behind her, and the monster's twisted vertical pupils were full of greed in the crack. Her black boots scraped across the smooth floor, and she leaned sideways, her eyes rolling slightly indifferently. She turned her wrist and swung out a beautiful blade flower, and in an instant, the sharp ice spike pierced into the crack.

But it just passed through.

It is true that space-type awakeners can easily restrain all magic.

But this is just right, isn't it?

The suction generated by the crack kept pulling her to the space behind, and the cold breath almost froze people's thoughts. Her messy long hair covered her side face, and she suddenly dropped her hands, as if she had given up the struggle because she could not resist, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Ya noticed her change. He had no intention of killing her. After all, if she was really a member of the Night Watch, it would be of no benefit to him to offend the Night Watch. He was about to stop, but suddenly saw the girl's interested smile.

Is she...smiling?

"It's the Executioner himself who can't say for sure."

The pure white blade pierced his heart, and the dripping blood wet the golden rose, turning it scarlet. Only the eternally quiet woman was still gentle and beautiful. Ya turned around stiffly. He looked at the person behind him in disbelief. The long knife sank into his body, forcing the unspoken words to stop. He staggered and fell to the ground.

Dorota wiped the blade in her hand nonchalantly. Her movements were so careful that they could be called meticulous. She waited until it was clean before throwing the flannel away. She was unwilling to take it for even a second longer. She was extremely disgusted. "The blood of the lackeys in the imperial capital is indeed dirty."

"There is no way. Who let you participate in the battle four years ago? I have kept you for so long. I have already done my best."

Dorota put away the dagger and jumped off the shelf. She flipped through a few pages of files casually. She closed them after confirming that they were what she was looking for. She walked slowly past. Two identical figures overlapped and dispersed. At the same time as the crack disappeared, the phantom standing in front also turned into a light spot and disappeared in the wind, deceiving her eyes and deceiving all the truth.

Her ability [Gazing Eye].

[Reality and nightmares overturn, distorting everything you look at. Whether it is a lie or truth, it is only defined by her, and what you think and think will come true.]

She is the truth.

Rules?

She approached the assistant who was still unaware of the danger with an urgent step. The shadow of the past was covered by the existence of reality at this moment. She raised her hand and stroked the woman's collarbone, then stopped and said goodbye to the assistant with a terrified look and a cut neck.

Don't believe in rules.

"I'm sorry, you saw me, so you must die."

The awakened person's supernatural power will disappear after death. Dorota withdrew from the memory field. She hid her breath and looked at the temporary investigator who was at a loss because of the sudden accident. She found it particularly funny. She was particularly leisurely in the panic, "Really amazing, prophet."

"Although I can predict that Kanan's assistant will come here, a prediction requires a lot of energy. I'm afraid I won't be able to predict anything else in the next few days." The observer paused and said worriedly, "The imperial capital has already held a meeting. Someone should be sent tomorrow. You have to be careful."

"What are you afraid of?"

Dorota flipped through the personal file in her hand slowly. "As for the situation in the imperial capital, the representatives of those forces would have argued for a long time at the meeting. By the time they arrived, I would have already run away."

"The news came quite quickly. Was it also told to you by prophecy? I am curious, is your prediction active or passive?"

"It's not a prophecy," the observer replied to the previous question, "It's because of a superpower I devoured [Data Sea]. I can invade the data world and obtain information."

Dorota lowered her eyes and lifted her eardrops involuntarily.

This superpower... is very similar to the moon-grabbing power.

"Let's go, it's time to leave Dawn." She said in a brisk tone.

"I hope the Elu District will bring different surprises."
