Chapter 79
Lan is one of Hermann's men.
When Xia Meng woke up again, she was still more than an hour away from her destination, London.
Since she was free anyway, Xia Meng asked Li Zhou to tell her about the intelligence from the headquarters, especially about Hermann.
It wasn't that she was interested in Hermann as a person, but she wanted to know herself and her enemy so that she could win every battle.
Li Zhou said that Hermann had two sentries under his command, a pair of twins, who were very strong.
One of them is called Emil, the sentinel with the ability to split the sky.
The other one is called Lance, who has psychic powers and can control people's minds to obtain various intelligence.
Li Zhou has dealt with both of these people.
To be precise, he had dealt with them in the first few years after he awakened and was brought to the headquarters.
Li Zhou did not elaborate on the specific dealings they had had.
But Xia Meng could guess that it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.
If he didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask.
Li Zhou talked a lot about Hermann.
Li Zhou's impression of Hermann is that he is a very proud man.
Proud to the point of arrogance.
He had the reserve of a noble, but was unwilling to have too much contact with those ancient nobles.
He didn't even go back to the Castle of Dreiser very often.
Hermann lived far away from headquarters.
He doesn't often appear at the headquarters on weekdays and basically stays in his own manor.
No one knew what he was doing there.
The only people who enter and leave the manor on a daily basis are his two twin subordinates.
Li Zhou said: "Herman will most likely hide Luo Xunfei there."
If you want to save someone, just go straight there.
Xia Meng pondered for a moment, but felt something was not right.
Li Zhou: "What do you mean?"
Xia Meng: "Think about it, what chips do we have now?"
Li Zhou was stunned and for a moment he couldn't follow Xia Meng's train of thought.
However, it is normal not to be able to keep up.
Hardly anyone can keep up.
Xia Meng raised her index finger and said, "The first bargaining chip is me. Herman's target was me, and taking Luo Xunfei away was just his only option at the time."
Li Zhou listened quietly.
Xia Meng raised her middle finger and said, "The second thing is you. You and Herman are equally strong. Herman must be afraid of your power."
She extended her third ring finger and said, "The third one is my buff. As long as it's there, Herman will definitely be afraid."
Li Zhou looked up bewilderedly: "So what are your plans?"
Xia Meng didn't answer but asked, "What do you think is the most important thing in Herman's eyes?"
status?
Fame?
family?
Li Zhou looked at Xia Meng.
She had only met Hermann a few times, and she knew everything about him?
Xia Meng blinked and said innocently, "What can I know? I treat patients, not tell fortunes. I was just asking you a question."
Li Zhou said "Oh".
He shook his head. "I don't really know Hermann."
If I have to say, he probably has a strong desire for power.
It probably has something to do with the environment you grew up in.
Wang Xiangyi said that Hermann was an illegitimate child when he was young.
It was not until he showed signs of awakening to S-rank at the age of eleven that he was officially given the surname Dreiser.
The more a person lacks something in his life, the more he will value it.
Especially the influence of childhood on a person's world outlook, outlook on life and values as an adult is enormous.
As the old Chinese saying goes, it is somewhat similar to the saying "You can tell a person's future at the age of three and his old age at the age of seven". What you experience at the age of three or seven may have a profound impact on how you behave in the future when you grow up.
Xia Meng actually had some ideas.
She said: "I guess Hermann's attitude towards the Dreiser family and his father, Lorenzo Dreiser, may not be as harmonious as the outside world imagines."
She didn't know much about Hermann.
But in the few times they had contact, Xia Meng could feel that Hermann was a very self-centered person.
She remembered the first time she stepped into the Castle of Hearts in Cui Yang's mental picture.
Portraits can be seen everywhere in the corridors of the castle.
All Herman's own.
No one else.
There is no former king or queen.
The largest portrait was hidden in an inconspicuous corner.
There were finally three people in the painting.
In the painting, a man dressed as a king is sitting, young Hermann is standing beside him, and a woman in gorgeous clothes is standing respectfully behind him.
But the faces of the two people in the painting were all painted black without exception.
Only the teenage Hermann was left standing in the painting.
Luo Xunfei is very deliberate and will definitely make arrangements for all the details.
At that time, Xia Meng just glanced at it and didn't think much about it.
Looking back now, those details can actually explain some problems.
Herman's relationship with his parents may not be as good as the outside world thinks.
Even the relationship between Hermann and the Dreiser family is the same.
Xia Meng touched her chin and thought.
The Dreiser family gave Hermann everything he has today.
At least, without Dreiser, Hermann would not have reached his current heights.
Why, then, did Hermann maintain such a detached attitude towards Dreiser?
Even those ancient Shaoxiang families are unwilling to have too much contact?
Is it because the identity of an illegitimate child has never been recognized?
No, probably not.
He himself is a vested interest in the sentinel gene optimization theory.
Even though he was once an illegitimate child, his identity was completely transformed the moment he awakened.
So what is the reason?
Xia Meng turned to Li Zhou and asked, "Do you trust my intuition?"
Li Zhou answered quickly without blinking, "Yes."
Xia Meng said, "Let's go check out the Dreiser family as soon as we get off the plane. Maybe there will be a surprise."
This time, they came with the intention of launching a surprise attack.
The enemy is in the open, and they are in the dark.
If we don’t investigate now, when will we?
…
More than an hour later, the plane landed at London City Airport.
Because they did not take the Black Tower route, the Black Tower headquarters was completely unaware of the arrival of Li Zhou and Xia Meng.
The two headed straight for the castle where the Dreiser family lived.
The castle is located in the suburbs of London and is surrounded by gardens.
The castle is a typical Gothic building with two parallel pointed towers at both ends. The whole looks majestic and solemn from a distance.
The process of sneaking into the castle is actually very easy.
Xia Meng didn't go.
Li Zhou went there alone.
The entire castle was filled with sentries below level A, and no one could find him.
So Li Zhou was almost like walking into a deserted place.
Xia Meng stayed outside.
She found a cafe to wait for him.
Bored, she took out her cell phone.
After not turning on the phone for ten hours, the small group chat of four people was already filled with Ou Xu's nagging complaints.
[Ou Xu: Help me, I really can't do this! ]
Ou Xu: Why are these sentries so physically fit? After climbing the Great Wall, they told me they were going to climb Mount Tai and the Potala Palace that afternoon. Do these foreigners have any misunderstandings about China's territory?
[Ou Xu: Okay, let's give them something to eat. They're finally quiet.]
Ou Xu: I now feel like the assignment Director Zhou gave me is too easy. Haha, they're telling me to visit a province a day. Haha, if you include the municipalities and autonomous regions, I still have a few days to spare.
Xia Meng could see the sneer of despair in his words "ha".
He has worked so hard.
Xia Meng typed a reply:
[Xia Meng: The organization will remember your contributions! Comrade Ou Xu!]
A few seconds later, Ou Xu replied quickly.
[Ou Xu: You've arrived already? ?]
[Ou Xu: How is the matter going? ? ]
[Ou Xu: You still have the leisure to chat with me, could it be that you've already finished it?]
Xia Meng didn't say much.
She typed a few words.
【Xia Meng: Do me a favor. 】
【Ou Xu: You say.】
[Xia Meng: Find someone you trust to help keep an eye on Cui Yang.]
[Ou Xu: Don't worry, Su Su has already asked his teammates to keep an eye on her.]
Xia Meng blinked, her eyes fixed on the two words "Su Su".
Hmm, that's quite intimate.
When did they become so close?
Didn’t Ou Xu always treat Su Fangxiao with disdain before?
Xia Meng replied with two gossipy words.
【Xia Meng: Susu?】
The group instantly fell silent.
The next second, Ou Xu quickly withdrew the previous message.
It simply makes things more obvious.
Xia Meng slowly exited the group chat and returned to the friend interface.
Sure enough, in less than a second, several messages came quickly into Ou Xu's private chat window.
【Ou Xu: !!! 】
[Ou Xu: I made a slip of the tongue!!!]
[Ou Xu: Oh no! It was a mistake!!!]
[Ou Xu: Retreat now! Please, kowtow!!!]
Xia Meng typed a question mark and sent it back.
She had no intention of letting go of this opportunity to dig up first-hand gossip.
[Xia Meng: Then tell me, what exactly is going on with Susu?]
[Ou Xu: You withdraw first! ! I’ll tell you after you withdraw! !]
【Xia Meng: Oh.】
She turned around and withdrew the group message.
Ou Xu really kept his promise.
In Xia Meng's private chat window with him, it always showed that he was typing.
It took a long time before he sent it.
[Ou Xu: ...Well, I mean, I worked overtime with her yesterday.]
Whether it is the strange disease or the evil eye, both are big deals for the Black Tower.
These past two days, except for Xia Meng and Li Zhou, the two parties involved, everyone else was almost completely busy and overwhelmed.
All members of the Alpha team also went to the scene yesterday to participate in the rescue.
The situation after the disaster is a bit hard to look at.
Hundreds of people were injured.
The police took over the affected people outside.
Inside, the area swallowed by the evil eye can only be cleaned up by the special agents of the Black Tower.
To prevent any hidden dangers.
Ou Xu went with Su Fangxiao and the others.
When I entered the depths of the building, I was almost shocked by the tragic situation there.
There was blood and body parts all over the ground, as if the rest of the body had been swallowed up out of thin air and could not be put together.
Ou Xu had never seen such a tragic scene before and vomited immediately.
I vomited until my legs were weak.
It was Su Fangxiao who helped him and led him out of that area.
Ou Xu was sweating profusely from vomiting and felt a little embarrassed.
He is a grown man, but he was so scared.
Su Fangxiao consoled him, saying, "It's normal. This is my first time seeing such a scene, so my reaction isn't much worse than yours."
Ou Xu asked: "How did you overcome it?"
Su Fangxiao: "It's not that I overcame it, I just got used to it after seeing it so many times."
Ou Xu: “…”
It was then that he found out what the daily work of the Alpha Team members was like.
Later that day, when they came out, they happened to meet a young girl in her early twenties who tried to rush in and was stopped by the police.
The two sides were entangled in a fight, and it was quite a big scene.
Ou Xu went up to ask what was going on. The officer who stopped the girl sighed and said, "It's a resident of this building. She said she lived with her best friend. She couldn't contact her best friend, and she must have been sleeping at home when the incident happened. Now she insists on going in to look for her. How can she do that? This building is now a high-risk structure and is at risk of collapse at any time. I've told her several times, but the girl just won't listen."
Ou Xu and Su Fangxiao looked at each other.
Ou Xu also sighed.
In this situation, nine out of ten people are dead.
Even if we put someone in to look for him, what would happen?
Ou Xu shook his head and was about to leave, but he saw Su Fangxiao's eyes fixed on the profile of the little girl.
Like in a trance.
After a while, Su Fangxiao said softly, "I'll take her in to have a look."
