Chapter 110-109- Liana Renee
By the time Yvette left the Soul Fire Church, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The church gate was closed at this time, so she had to go out through the small door. With the nods and greetings of several black-hooded deacons, she walked calmly to the small square outside the church in the night breeze.
She finally accepted the commission from the requiem priest Hoyle Koth. On the one hand, it was because he was very sincere, making people feel that he might not be the corrupt internal staff who colluded with human traffickers. On the other hand... he really gave too much.
Originally, the mysterious figure "General" of the Ghost Hand Society had been behind the scenes for a long time and was rarely known to the public. There was no bounty on his head in the Federation. Even if Yvette was interested in finding and killing him, she could only make some money from the spoils, and there would be no additional income.
But now, if she could really catch the general, she would have 5 million yuan, which is not a small amount. She could buy a 160,000 yuan magic terminal.
By the way, the 16w specification is the technological limit of the origin civilization, but this is not the upper limit of the symbol point cache, but the upper limit of the element chip. If there is no breakthrough in manufacturing technology, 16w will be the limit of personal terminals for many years to come.
Of course, some people may be curious. Since 16w is the limit of cutting-edge chips, and the Origin Civilization also has higher-specification super-large techniques, even million-level techniques, how to use them?
this!
This requires the use of a super-large spell-casting unit composed of sophisticated magical machinery.
And this is a completely different concept. It is somewhat similar to Yvette's idea on the Elemental Magic Codex - it is a chain-by-chain stacking combination method. It does not require high-precision chips, but a large number of sturdy and durable mid- and low-end chips, and finally achieves an effect comparable to the specifications of a million-level spell.
All I can say is, there is nothing new under the sun.
…
Although she had accepted the commission to investigate the Ghost Hand Society and the General, Yvette wasn't in a rush at the moment. Hoyle had given her a two-year deadline, which was a bit too generous. She could only stay in the dream for six months.
After returning home, Yvette sent emails to several detective agencies online, asking them to conduct investigations near the two human traffickers' industrial parks to see if there were any unfamiliar faces or unusual phenomena. The remuneration was between 10,000 and 30,000 yuan.
Of course, this is not outsourcing. She will also investigate it herself, but more manpower always means more strength.
The next morning, after getting up, Yvette bought a motorcycle as a means of transportation, and drove to an urban-rural fringe area called "Dodan Town" where the two previous industrial parks were located.
After asking around in Dodan Town for a while, Yvette didn't get any information about the Ghost Hand Society. Apparently, the locals here were very tight-lipped and wouldn't reveal anything about human trafficking, even if paid.
But one piece of news caught her attention - two days ago, two little girls from outside stayed in Dodan Town, but left soon and headed towards Shalin Town in the east.
During the two days they stayed there, someone mysteriously disappeared in the town. They were two young men who were usually idle.
Although the two things sounded unrelated, they happened to have occurred in the past two days and had nothing to do with the Ghost Hand Society. They were told to Yvette by the aunt at the entrance of the village in a thick rural accent.
It seems that Zero and One are most likely in the neighboring town of Shalin now, and they are very close... Yvette's mood was suddenly touched, and she thought of a problem that she had never considered before.
——In what capacity should she approach Zero One?
Of course, to clarify this issue, the first thing we need to determine is what is the purpose of her contact with the two of them?
The answer is clear. Naturally, it is to find out the original owner's secret, understand the original owner's personality, and his life experience.
On this basis, a very important condition is extended, that is - her appearance cannot destroy the original owner's life in the dream.
If she declares that she is the future Zero and Zero believes it, then many of her subsequent actions will directly affect Zero's choices. Under the butterfly effect, the world line of the dream will be destroyed, and she will never see the real past.
So she had to find an identity for herself that would allow her to be a cameraman nearby without affecting the life trajectories of both of them.
So it can only be that, right?
That’s right!
From now on, she is Zero's biological sister whom he has never met!
…
In early May, the plum rain arrived earlier than usual in Shalin Town.
At first, there were only sparse raindrops, tentatively hitting the dirt roads and iron roofs in the town, but soon, heavy rain poured down like a broken dam. The eaves of the small bungalows were already soaked, and the dark rain pressed down on the bamboo walls.
The river rose, swallowing half the stone steps. Cheap neon signs sank into the water, staining the murky surface like an eerie, oil-colored smudge. The sound of heavy rain warnings and expired advertisements buzzed in my ears, then froze completely in a burst of electric noise.
In a narrow alley beside the road, Liana Renee squatted there, silently watching the rain outside. She seemed to enjoy the leisurely feeling of being able to quietly appreciate the torrential downpour from outside while staying in a safe place. She hummed softly, her voice sweet like a summer wind chime.
Dozens of minutes passed, perhaps even longer, before she stood up and returned to the alley. At the end was a courtyard, surrounded on three sides by simple, semi-open corridors with tiled roofs. Only a small area in the center was completely exposed to the sky and pelted by the rain.
She stood under the eaves, lost in thought, gazing at the muddy depression in the courtyard. A moment later, the earth suddenly surged, and a hideous, gigantic worm emerged. Its hideous mouth opened, revealing a silver-haired little girl, too beautiful to be mortal. She emerged gracefully and calmly from its maw.
The green wind swirled above her head, separating the billions of raindrops falling from the sky, and not a single drop wet her clothes.
Then, the little silver-haired girl came over, hugged Liana gently, and rubbed her face affectionately: "I'm back."
Liana's body visibly stiffened, and she said uneasily: "Yvette...what did you go out for again?"
"You should be able to guess it." The silver-haired little girl smiled slightly, her dark red pupils revealing a cruelty that was clearly inconsistent with her age. She smiled and said, "I said, I will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt you, even if it's just verbal."
"Don't do this, Yvette... You've already killed so many people, you will fall into darkness..." Liana shook her head vigorously.
Previously, in the town of Dodan, two young men were rude and looked at the other person with obscene eyes. Yvette secretly killed them both and fed them to the monsters underground.
Now in the town of Sharin, a local boy of five or six years old was killed by Yvette again because he laughed at her for not being able to speak the Rustbone dialect, and became food for the monsters.
If she keeps killing like this, won't she feed everyone in the world to the monsters she raises?
"There are so many people in this world, what's wrong with a few deaths?" The silver-haired little girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.
This ridicule was certainly not directed at Liana, so who was it directed at? Was it the world?
Immediately, noticing Liana's fearful gaze, her eyes quickly softened, like a setting sun obscured by clouds. She held Liana's hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't destroy this world. This world will become what you want it to be... I promise."
"You have lost yourself in power, Yvette, you can't do this." Liana said softly after a long silence.
"I didn't... Well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." The silver-haired girl sighed, "Then, if you think someone doesn't deserve to die, I'll give them a chance to live. Is that okay?"
"But it's not just that... I think our power should be used for more correct things, what do you think, Yvette?" Liana said.
"Again?" The little silver-haired girl's gaze drifted unnaturally towards the alley entrance. Her tone suddenly became relaxed and cheerful, completely different from before. "Where's Yinghuo? I asked her to go buy food, why is she taking so long..."
"Don't change the subject."
"Oh, there are guests coming~"
"Still changing the subject!" Liana said angrily.
"No, Liana, there really is a customer~" The silver-haired girl pointed to the narrow alley entrance, but then she noticed the customer's face, which was almost exactly the same as hers, only more mature and more girlish, like a real sister who was only a few years younger, both of them were extremely beautiful.
She was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly a playful look appeared on her face, as if she found this development quite interesting.
She turned her head and said to Liana with a smile: "See, I didn't lie to you."
