Chapter 40: The Sunken Sea (7)

After Eleanor left the library, Cecil continued to walk slowly behind her, looking as if he had no intention of leaving. She turned around with a dark face and asked him why he had been following her.

"'Hui' is not in the office building now." Cecil avoided her question and said lightly: "If you want to find him, you should go to the Fifth District instead of the Judgment Tower. Why bother and waste your energy."

"I want to kill him, and you won't stop me?"

"That's because he doesn't have the ability. I don't need waste."

"And I'm more curious about what you want to do."

Eleanor not only had to deal with Cecil to prevent him from digging out the plan, but also had to distract herself to solve the weirdness. Playing dumb was not a very suitable method, but at least it could delay for a while.

Just as she was about to do so, she heard him say, "Your student seems to have the purification ability that only the 'royal family' has. Did you pick him up in the 15th district?"

She finally looked at him, and her cold eyes warned her without disguising her concern and favoritism, "You'd better not have any ideas about him. Makisuke is not an item that you can do whatever you want."

"I wanted to ask you when I first saw you."

Cecil did not reply to her, but just continued to talk to himself, "Your sea of ​​​​consciousness is so clean that it doesn't look like you have wandered in the 15th district. The pollution factors that accompany the growth of superpowers have also begun to increase after you came to the imperial capital."

"It's because of him."

Cecil slowly came to this conclusion. He stared at her without blinking, not missing any changes in her facial expression. Eleanor just played with the dagger, avoided answering and changed the subject: "You can see other people's memories and identify lies. Such abilities can do a lot in the Inspection Office."

Unfortunately, it was only disadvantageous to her.

Cecil didn't have the heart to stop her at all. He cooperated and motioned her to continue, "No matter how special it is, there will be no shortage of substitutes. For a sixth-level assistant officer to fight against an executive officer, everyone can imagine how stupid it is."

He even bent his lip and said sincerely, "Good luck."

... So despicable.

Eleanor put away the dagger and disappeared into the dark night. She was of course familiar with the representative building of the Inspection Office, and she easily found the independent office of the assistant officer of District 5.

She walked leisurely to the French window. The dark sea was surging. Occasionally, a mutated glowing jellyfish would surface. The faint light gathered together, creating brilliant colors.

She admired the rare quiet and beautiful scene, tapping her arm with her fingers. The observer was responsible for helping her monitor the route back in real time. "He came back with other assistant officers. It's best to solve it as soon as possible without making any noise."

Eleanor knocked on the window and said yes.

"He's here."

[Person approach detected]

[Iris recognized]

[Identity confirmed]

The prompt tone of the intelligent AI was drowned in the subtle sound of the sensor door sliding open. The assistant officer just took a step inside and was caught off guard by a pair of cold eyes, as if a surging tide was about to swallow him up. He regained consciousness and wanted to retreat but couldn't move.

He froze, and his passive state triggered his instincts. In the face of danger, he desperately tried to grab something to increase his chances of survival. His enlarged pupils revealed a corner of the fragment.

He saw the firelight imprint a fiery silhouette on the surface of the lantern, dispelling the coldness around him and illuminating his vision.

Yi Zi stood behind him, looking into the distance to somewhere unknown. He thought he was waiting for Shouye to show up, but the atmosphere was too silent, and he reacted belatedly.

He was staring at her.

Apart from Shouye, how could Yi Zi look at others for a long time.

When she spoke, she used the all-too-familiar, cold voice of Executive Yongtian: "Have the weirdness in this sea area been cleared?"

...Shouye?

No, Shouye was still in the inspection house, how could she be equivalent to "him"?

Which one was fake?

In his confused state, he only had time to hastily grasp the absurd thought that flashed by, nothing else.

Bloodstains splashed on the wall, heavy footsteps echoed in the quiet room, his hand covered the scarlet mark and drew it, accompanied by a short low laugh. The liquid that had not yet dried was smeared on the fingertips, like a meteor trailing sparks on the remaining clean white.

"Sorry." Eleanor forced a cruel and indifferent smile, and the shadow under her feet quickly solved everything. She wiped off the blood and said, "I don't know if you will tell others about it. If you tell other executives, it will be very troublesome."

Assistant officers have a close relationship with executives and are responsible for a variety of projects, unlike supervisors who only need to maintain safety and order.

The observer watched the whole process and was a little surprised. "Why didn't you do anything to him before?"

Eleanor waved her hand. "When I became the executive officer, my background had been thoroughly checked. There was nothing else that could not be discovered. Why would I do anything to him?"

"...Okay." The observer saw her leaning against the wall with her head down, as if she was not going to leave for the time being, as if she was in a trance. Because she recalled the not-so-good memories, the turbulent emotions in her eyes were rippling, just like the sea outside.

It was a surging tide, but also the tranquility of the night.

In fact, he could wait for her to adjust her mood. He didn't need to rack his brains, worry, or invest extra emotions in it. Apart from the interests, are they friends? Maybe. Because they are also people who know each other completely.

"Here is an analysis post about Makisuke. Do you want to read it?"

The observer whispered, trying to divert her attention. Eleanor saw that she would not expose this, so she stood there lazily leaning against the wall, "Okay, then take a look."

[The "abnormal" person with talent]

As the title says, it is also a new drama sentiment.

"The abnormal person with talent" is a quote from the original name of the manga.

The "talent" and "abnormal" are particularly eye-catching.

The high affinity shown by Makisuke has always been overshadowed by the protagonist's halo and Toto's optimistic and cheerful personality. In addition, combined with the rule that the protagonists of most boys' comics have very good popularity, almost no one has paid attention to this.

——But the updated content is simply feeding the meal to the mouth! The old thief almost nodded his head to indicate it! !

A very obvious change in expression, from impatience to attention, as if being attracted by something unconsciously.

It is not ruled out that the old thief is crazy and wants to show off the charm of Deng Deng's personality (?), but I am more inclined to associate it with "pollution".

PS: Next, I will give a detailed introduction to "pollution" based on the known information and the analysis of the big guys. If you are not interested, you can skip some of the content.

There is more or less "pollution" in the body of the awakened person, which is a side effect after using the supernatural power, such as dizziness, vomiting, shortness of breath, etc. The adverse reactions of ordinary awakened people can usually be recovered with the help of repair cabins and healing awakened people.

As a side note, it feels like a normal physical discomfort reaction, so in fact, is it possible that the supernatural power really damages the body's functions... ?

Let's not discuss this for now, I will continue.

I remember that the teacher and the authorized have mentioned that the biggest difference of the predators is the existence of the "sea of ​​consciousness".

The "pollution" of the predators is not as externalized as the other awakened ones, but is sunk into the "sea of ​​consciousness".

It cannot be cured.

Predators whose "pollution" reaches a certain level will become extreme, irritable, moody, and out of control. The most serious case is that the predators who are completely polluted may even experience the collapse of the "sea of ​​consciousness", and either die or become completely useless.

[Picture.JPG]

The teacher clearly said that the "pollution" of the predators can only be repaired by the "royal family" of the imperial capital.

Here, "royal family" is specially put in quotation marks. It feels like it is referring to a certain type of people rather than the princes and nobles in our impression. If we

think about it a little more, that is to say... the teacher's expression at that time was so mocking (Ahhh my God, such a contrast, teacher, do you know that you are really embarrassed like this? Hahaha). The background of "White Crane" has never been revealed. Does the teacher have a grudge against the "royal family"...?

Back to the topic. If this is true, there is a very contradictory point - why did the plunderers who were expelled from the "Tracing the Source" organization not have any problems.

Even if it is possible that the "pollution" is not very serious, or the teacher and the authority do not want to worry other members so they did not show it, but how could there be nothing wrong?

Take the author for example. From what we know, he has been in District 15 for nine years, but he has never lost control, not even once.

But it is clear that as long as the plunderer leaves the capital and cannot receive treatment from the "royal family", he will only have less than three years left to live! This is nine years, and it is just the time we know, how is it possible that everything is so peaceful!!

Unless the author is a traitor and is secretly working with the "royal family", it can only be that the people around him have the same ability.

Talent. Abnormal.

All pointing to us, Deng Deng!!

Ahhhh, it seems a bit too certain to say this, but I really can't think of any other reason!

I'd like to make a bold guess that Deng Deng's "talent" is the ability to remove "pollution". Other awakened people are attracted to Deng Deng because the "pollution" on them is removed, so they involuntarily feel close to her, which provides a reasonable explanation for her high affinity.

At the same time, it is also an "abnormality" that is different from others, and it seems that Deng Deng has not noticed this yet.

1L: OK, OK, the fighting protagonist has been transformed into a healing protagonist

. 8L: Very good reasoning, it makes my brain spin.

13L: Boss, you... I can only say that you are still the boss. When I saw the passers-by's expression change, I just sighed. Our Tianyi can't escape the fate of being sprayed.

26L: I think your analysis is quite reasonable. I remember that Deng Deng was picked up by the teacher in a ruin. The old thief can freely play with the origin.

29L replied to 26L: It's bad. The old thief found a bug.

38L: But it's not right to think this way. It's completely illegal to eliminate pollution with just ordinary contact, right? Would the old thief give Deng Deng such a powerful buff?

42L: I don’t know.

65L: Right, and this is when Deng Deng is still unaware. When Makusuke finds out about this later, won’t she be invincible?

72L replied to 65L: Wake up, Deng Deng just turned on the healing cheat, it’s not that the attack points are maxed out.

84L: And before the teacher left, he suddenly pushed Makusuke to the position of successor. This behavior is also very strange. I feel that the teacher and the authority should know this, right?

86L: The memories of the dead suddenly started to attack me...so can you arrange for your deceased wife to be resurrected and tell me the reason?

90L: It’s terrifying to think about it. Could it be that the teacher actually knew all along and used Deng Deng as a pawn?

92L: Damn, in fact, the teacher is the biggest villain, right? He picked up Makisuke and founded the source to ensure his own survival while overthrowing the imperial capital and taking the supreme position... No, why does it make more sense the more I think about it! !

98L replied to 92L: Don't say that, I don't accept it!

102L: Give me the claws if you are talking about conspiracy! Don't slander my late wife TT

108L: As we all know, being a teacher is a high-risk job, especially the teacher of the protagonist, either he is a bad guy or a villain.

……

"Are you trying to tell me that Makisuke is abnormal?" The meaning of the observer regarding this post as the key point is obvious. Eleanor took off the hood of her cloak. "Almost all the senior executives of the source-tracing organization know this, but Makisuke himself does not know."

Eleanor thought thoughtfully. "The analysis of the forum is very comprehensive. It can even infer the 'purification' of the royal family."

"But it is not certain whether Makisuke's ability is also 'purification' or a similar ability."

Eleanor said, and did not avoid surveillance. She walked out of the basement through the door. The observers were stunned for a moment. "You... are too blatant."

"They will definitely find out that Hui's death was caused by you, and then you will inevitably be locked up in the confinement room... wait?" "Did you

do it on purpose? What are you doing in the confinement room?"

"Create some alibis." Eleanor answered his questions sincerely, "Stay in the Judgment Tower where you can't use your superpowers and are locked up in a confinement room. Then, no matter how big the accident is, I won't be suspected."

"Guess the unlucky one without a prize. Which unlucky person will be pulled out to be the scapegoat? I'm really looking forward to the quarrels over shirking responsibility in the imperial capital—"

Her tone was high-pitched as if she had planned it for a long time, her emotions were full of exaggeration and teasing, and flickering flames burned in her eyes.

Cannot be ignored.

Eleanor did not return to the Judgment Tower immediately, she walked in front of "Night Watch".

It was like a mirror, reflecting different looks and matching insides, and in essence "he" was her again. This novel cognition made Eleanor feel happy involuntarily.

There was no difference in her pupils, which were stained with a smile.

Of course, she had no reason not to love herself, no matter what form it was. Eleanor's fingertips stroked, and the two moles on the black-haired young man were as light as "him" himself. The young man, who could only react when being controlled, blinked and tried to respond to her.

It was indeed a surprise for her.

Yi Zi happened to rush back at this time. When he saw this scene, he suddenly blocked in front of "Night Watch" and warned her vigilantly not to get close.

Eleanor looked at him with amusement, crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows, and called him jokingly: "Yi Zi." Yi

Zi showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He turned his head blankly and glanced at the people behind him, "... Sir?"

The night watchman raised his eyes, "Don't be so surprised, you guessed it right, you may meet again in the future."

After that, Eleanor returned to the Judgment Tower and handed over the container containing the dark blue liquid. The coat she had just changed was still hanging on her arm. The black goat had already stood beside her, "Teacher, Makisuke knows about the 'weird' thing."

Eleanor nodded slightly, and she changed the subject instead: "Where is the base of 'Echo'?"

"District 13."

She didn't say any more, but Heishan understood what she meant. "You can take away all the memories of 'Echo', but..."

"Even if it's insignificant, I hope to give it as a gift."
