Chapter 69 The Fruit of Greed (2)

"Are you sure this is feasible?"

Dorota had finished her wonderful performance. Following the nun's friendly suggestion, she went to the backyard to relax. In the center of the beautifully built garden was a small rest pavilion with snacks and books inside.

Dorota sat down and picked up a book and opened it, chatting lazily with the observer: "Maybe, who knows, anyway, it's better than doing nothing."

She lowered her eyes slightly, and the warm sunlight covering her body slowed her thoughts. It was an afternoon suitable for a nap.

She felt more comfortable and slow-paced in the church. After all, Dorota stayed here as a guest. There was no complicated affairs piled up, and there was no danger of being pressed step by step. She only needed to occasionally participate in prayers and some activities.

It was as if she was being catalyzed silently by enough freedom, so that she could relax in a peaceful atmosphere, and then she would collapse even more helplessly when faced with the pressure that would follow.

Dorota was enjoying the rare tranquility now. She had behaved so normally these days that observers almost thought she was going to start directly at the ceremony. Until another ordinary night, she put on her uniform and changed into Eleanor's appearance.

"... Wait, what are you going to do?"

"Can't you tell? Go create some chaos. Isn't it that the Zhuwang District has been a little too peaceful recently?"

Eleanor said this, but her real intention was to help the source tracking team that had just been transferred. If she diverted the attention of the top leaders to herself, the organization would be more relaxed.

The observer guessed her thoughts and sighed, "Be careful, this is the Imperial Capital, not the 15th District."

Dorota casually agreed to reassure him. She put on her hood, her tall figure disappeared in the bedroom, and then appeared on the top floor of the Federal Center Research Institute, with another person following closely behind her.

"The welcome from the Hope District is too warm."

Eleanor turned to face the bishop, but her eyes revealed subconscious contempt, "You don't have to come here in person."

As a plunderer, she was still high and mighty. Was this due to the arrogance of the plunderers themselves, or was it the unknown power behind her? Baskent's eyes sank slightly, what did she and the power she belonged to want?

Guiyi didn't notice it, or maybe it was the other big families who were already plotting something.

"Your people were responsible for the accident at the research institute ten years ago?"

Her purpose was too strong. When she was stirring up trouble in the fifteenth district, she was also targeting the imperial capital. After that, she entered the Judgment Tower without resistance, as if she was just following the trend. The smooth departure of Huiying leader "Black Goat" should also be related to her.

Consortium, family, or new rebel organization.

It is not easy to overthrow the existing system of the imperial capital.

"You finally found it." Eleanor smiled with satisfaction, and every word she said was like a tease, "I thought it would take some time, it seems not bad."

"But I hate your tone, are you questioning?"

The shadow under her feet rose, forming a dark long-handled umbrella held in her palm. Night is the most suitable time for her activities. The ubiquitous darkness will be controlled by her at will. Eleanor smiled slightly, "How can a predator who needs to rely on experiments have the qualifications to say this."

This remark was undoubtedly poking at Baskent's sore spot, and his face changed suddenly. Of all the executives, or even all the predators in the imperial capital, he is the only outlier.

The Federal Center Research Institute is located in the Zhuwang District and was built by the Deni family. The forced growth experiment of the awakened was originally a research conducted for the eldest son of the head of the Deni family.

The result was quite successful. Although it caused inevitable damage to the body, after all, there is gain only when there is loss.

"Don't let me down." The head of the Deni family only left this sentence indifferently before sending his child to the institute. The family does not need incompetent people in power. The new heir must be a plunderer, not a fifth-level awakener who is standing still.

Because his child is too stupid, cowardly and weak. From childhood to youth, Babensken did not show any superior talents. He was even worse than his collateral bloodline. His qualifications were too ordinary and should not belong to a designated heir.

The institute is the last chance. If he fails, he can only set his sights on other candidates who can be cultivated.

And this child can only become an abandoned child.

Babensken spent his entire youth at the institute. Except for some important exams, all theoretical courses were taught by people hired by his father, so he hardly went to school.

When he left the institute, he had already become a plunderer, and the head of the Deni family was very satisfied with this result.

The young man's face no longer had the traces of his past cowardice. As time passed, he became gentle, humble, and good at disguise. He began to take over the family's management industry, and only when he had everything under his control did he tear off his obedient appearance and reveal his ambition.

"Family affairs are busy, so please don't bother with it any more." His expression was calm and peaceful, but the curve of his lips could not restrain his excitement. "I have arranged your future life for you."

He wanted to be in power, and he could only feel at ease when he had all the power in his own hands. Once his ambition expanded, it would be difficult to satisfy it. The

greedy and ambitious man finally got rid of the stupid and cowardly young man, the self he hated.

The closed experiment in the institute changed him, making him realize that he must grow up and become an excellent heir. He needed power so that freedom would belong to him.

He didn't want to go back to the institute, and didn't want to experience a controlled life again. There was no hope and he could only wait.

All the pain and torture he endured in the experiment eventually accumulated into resentment, and later evolved into desire and greed.

Most people in the same circle also knew about this experiment. They regarded it as a laughing stock, flattered Babensken who had smoothly taken power, and then laughed at him behind his back as a defective product.

Other plunderers also looked down on him for relying on improper means, but so what, Babensken only needed to get the chief's attention, and he would bring countless benefits.

He became a relatively trusted person around Guiyi as he wished, and those mocking voices gradually disappeared.

He became more and more difficult to accept similar words, not to mention Eleanor's blatant contempt.

"How can a villain hiding in the dark have the qualifications to say this?" Baskent threw her words back and sneered, "I really don't know what you did, but Guiyi didn't even think of taking action."

"He wanted to use you to test me, but it seems that you are willing to do it. You are really loyal to him."

Eleanor sneered, "It seems that our chief has a useful dog."

"But I find one thing very strange. The god worshipped in Zhuwang District has not revealed his name. Is it because His name is unknown, or is it as I guessed?"

"The true belief of Zhuwang District actually refers to others."

Baskent would of course not respond to her, but Eleanor didn't care about the answer. What she wanted to do was to stir up trouble in Zhuwang District. There was no need to rush, she had plenty of time, so she laughed wantonly, "Then you must hide well."

"After all, the chief is very stingy. If he finds out what you are thinking, the position of bishop will probably have to be replaced."

She left here, but only disappeared into the thick mist, and the strange breath concealed the traces of the plunderers.

Everyone thought it was just an ordinary night. It was not until the fog cleared and the morning light fell on the ground that the anomaly was truly revealed. The wandering monsters did not disappear. The shadows that covered the sky and the ground connected from the tops of different buildings.

The entire imperial capital was once again shrouded in the shadow of darkness, and the daylight returned for only a brief moment.

"Wait...! These monsters?!"

The people who couldn't wait to go outside almost ran into the monsters head-on. They retreated in fear, and the monsters had already detoured and walked in another direction, as if they had a more specific goal.

That was the direction of the Federal Center Research Institute.

The dissipated mist gathered again, and different monsters competed to climb up the outer structure of the institute. Glass shattered, walls collapsed, and the surging black liquid tightly wrapped the entire building, like a tangled dry vine.

"This is a punishment!"

Someone in the crowd attracted by the strange scene suddenly shouted loudly, with an uneasy tone: "The experiments in the institute angered our Lord! That's why this situation has occurred!"

"Illegal experiments should be banned! What's more, the Lord has expressed His anger!"

"Close the institute!"

The faith that had already taken root was easily mobilized by deliberate provocation, and the voices of response became more and more, until it reached a deafening point. Babensken on the rooftop looked unhappy.

He was a little annoyed. He knew without thinking too much that it was Eleanor who was interfering. The feeling that the situation was out of control made him extremely unhappy, but he still put on a warm smile, "Everything that happened tonight may have led to a lot of misunderstandings."

"Our merciful Lord is not dissatisfied with this." In an instant, Babensken was standing in front of the crowd. He swiftly cleared away the weirdness that was attacking him, "This is just a test. He hopes that we will not waver in our beliefs."

"It has nothing to do with the research institute. If we are firm enough, we will not hesitate because of external influences."

The seductive voice seduced every believer present. The expressions of the people around him gradually became empty. Eleanor was among them. She glanced over casually and it seemed that he used his ability.

"What a pity, it seems that this is the only trick he knows."

Sensing another approaching breath, Eleanor put on her hood. She was interested, and within a few seconds a familiar figure appeared beside the bishop.

"Has the anomaly in Zhuwang District not been resolved yet?"

Gui Yi glanced at the building shrouded in shadows behind him, holding a retro and elegant book in his hand. He tore off a page casually, and in the blink of an eye the research institute returned to normal.

He withdrew his hand and looked at Eleanor's location with a cold gaze.

She was discovered. Eleanor turned around slowly, with a casual smile on her lips.

It's better not to face him head-on now.
