Chapter 078 Chapter 78
All in all, it was a stressful night.
By the time it was officially done, it was already dawn outside the window.
Xia Meng didn't sleep all night, and she had two mental visions in a row yesterday, so her body was already tired.
After finishing the report to Zhou Qi early in the morning, I was already extremely sleepy.
As soon as she got on the plane, she leaned on Li Zhou's shoulder and fell asleep.
She didn’t know if it was because of the spiritual imprint, but leaning on Li Zhou’s shoulder made her feel extremely safe.
It seemed as if she would always be safe as long as this person was by her side.
Xia Meng expressed her feelings.
After hearing this, Li Zhou couldn't help but chuckle and said that he was the same.
Xia Meng raised her eyelids and asked, "You too?"
Li Zhou: "Yeah, I just suddenly felt like I had become incredibly powerful."
It's like having armor and backup.
It was as if nothing could ever hurt his sense of security.
Xia Meng leaned her head back on his shoulder.
It turns out that engraving has this special effect.
very nice.
She thought.
She closed her eyes: "I'm going to sleep for a while."
Li Zhou: “Yeah.”
…
…
London, UK.
Dreiser Manor.
The Dreiser family is a noble family and owns a castle in the UK.
However, this manor is Hermann's private property, and no one comes here on weekdays.
There were only a few servants inside the manor.
Hermann usually lives here alone.
Even his mother, who once depended on him for everything, never lived here.
At this time, in a dim basement in the main house.
Hermann sat on the chair with his legs crossed, his hands resting on his cheeks, his thumbs supporting his jawbone, his index fingers resting on his temples, tapping them lightly from time to time.
He lowered his eyes to look at the man huddled in the corner, breathing heavily, and whispered, "Mr. Luo, you're putting me in a difficult position."
His tone sounded gentle.
It seemed like she was really troubled by something and was whispering it to Luo Xunfei.
Luo Xunfei panted silently.
Hermann had just kicked him in the stomach.
With his S-class leg strength, he felt that his internal organs might have been ruptured.
He was in so much pain that even his breathing trembled.
The whole person was shaking in pain and out of control.
Luo Xunfei was, after all, a weak guide with barely any muscle on his body.
I couldn't withstand that kick at all.
Herman asked again softly, "Are you really not going to tell me?"
Luo Xunfei tried hard to suppress the dizziness and said with difficulty: "I don't know what I should say."
Herman smiled and said, "Are you still going to play dumb?"
He said, "You told me before that you would help me find the guide. To do so, I lent you the power of the Black Tower. And what about you? How did you repay me?"
Luo Xunfei leaned against the wall, holding his stomach with one hand and supporting himself on the ground with the other hand, trying hard to support his body.
He replied haltingly, "...Didn't I help you find it?"
Yes, I did find it.
But he was still one step too late for Li Zhou.
Damn it, it’s actually Li Zhou.
It was Li Zhou again.
Anger welled up in Hermann.
This Li Zhou seems to be his nemesis.
From the day he showed up, Hermann felt that his luck had never been good.
Before Li Zhou awakened, he was the youngest S-class sentinel.
Among the six S-level people in the world, some are old, some are indifferent to worldly affairs, and some are not interested in this.
He is the most powerful successor to the helm of the Black Tower headquarters.
His father, Lorenzo Dresser, was the previous leader of the headquarters.
For them, it seems normal for sons to follow in their father's footsteps.
Unfortunately, the inheritance process could not be decided by just one word from his father.
The selection of leaders requires layers of discussion and voting by Black Tower branch ministers around the world.
There are more than one hundred black towers around the world.
In the first round of internal secret ballot, his support rate was only 21%.
Most of the remaining people chose to abstain from voting.
What this means is that they would rather wait for someone else who is more suitable than support him.
So, when Li Zhou appeared, Hermann immediately felt a strong sense of crisis.
Li Zhou.
That person is also an S-rank.
Much younger than him.
He was born in China, the country with the largest number of sentries and black towers.
It's hard to imagine how much support he will get in the future.
Only Hermann himself knew how much effort he had put in to climb to the position of director general.
How much effort was put into dealing with Li Zhou.
I managed to keep my position as the headquarter director with great difficulty.
Unexpectedly, the two bumped into each other again on the guide.
——From the time Hermann was eighteen years old, Lorenzo began to look for a suitable guide for him.
After all, the Dressers were big fans of the theory of whistle-step optimization.
After finally implementing the theory successfully once, Lorenzo was of course eager to continue this theory and achieve success a second and third time.
What is the probability that a child born to an S-level Sentinel will also be an S-level?
By then, with two or even more S-class people in charge, how powerful will the Dresser family be?
Unfortunately, Hermann never met a suitable guide.
He and Li Zhou are in a similar situation.
Li Zhou was unable to achieve a matching rate of more than 50% with any other guide.
He was slightly better off, as he could find some guides who were about 60% compatible with him. This matching rate between S-level sentinels and A-level guides was actually quite good.
After all, the mental strength of both sides is not at the same level at all.
Hermann didn't care at first.
It would be nice to just follow my father's wishes and find a suitable partner.
Unfortunately, those guides couldn't even pass the spiritual imprinting stage.
His mental power is naturally extremely powerful in attack and has special attributes.
During each spiritual imprinting process, those weak female guides could not even last ten minutes and fainted.
If he insists on continuing, there is a high probability that someone will die.
More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and people around me began to get anxious.
Suitable female guides were brought to him in an endless stream.
Unfortunately, he never found anyone who could survive the mental imprint.
Until one day, the man in front of him who was struggling to survive, Luo Xunfei, took the initiative to appear in front of him.
Mao Sui volunteered to help him find the guide destined for him.
But in exchange, he wants to borrow the power of the Black Tower to find someone.
People who use Black Tower also use Black Tower’s money.
Herman knew that Luo Xunfei must have selfish motives.
But he doesn't care.
He only cares about whether he can achieve his own goals.
More than a month ago, Luo Xunfei finally brought him good news—he found a sentinel with the ability to predict the appearance of the totem of his destined guide.
As for the rest, he said nothing.
What difference does it make whether you say it or not?
So Herman could only wait patiently for his next good news.
The wait lasted more than a month.
It wasn't until yesterday that he saw Xia Meng's face for the first time during the meeting with Beijing Tower.
The moment he saw her, he knew that the person Luo Xunfei was talking about was her.
It must be her.
Afterwards, all the information Xia Meng had about the Beijing Tower was handed over to him in full.
Her identity, age, information.
When did she awaken and how did she join the Black Tower?
And what she experienced after joining the Black Tower.
Everything is written down in the report, no matter how big or small.
It was then that Hermann discovered that Li Zhou's name was involved in every event she experienced in the Black Tower.
Are we one step late again?
Hermann was furious.
It seemed as if Li Zhou was born to be incompatible with him.
Every time I can stand accurately on the opposite side of him.
Regardless of his current position, or the engraving guide.
In the basement.
Hermann took a deep breath.
It’s okay, there’s still time.
Xia Meng and Li Zhou have not been imprinted yet.
He still has a chance.
He lowered his eyes to look at Luo Xunfei: "Tell me, what else did you see through the sentinel's precognitive ability?"
He stood up and walked in front of Luo Xunfei.
A gloved hand grabbed Luo Xunfei's chin and turned his face up.
Herman asked with a serious face, "Whose engraving guide will Xia Meng become in the end?"
Luo Xunfei did not answer.
He chuckled, "I didn't see that."
Herman: "So what did you see?"
Luo Xunfei said, "If you wanted to know so much, why didn't you just kidnap the child?"
It's not like Hermann hadn't thought about it.
He even thought about taking Luo Xunfei and Cui Yang away together.
But there were too many people in Cui Yang's room.
He couldn't just take the person away in front of everyone.
Moreover, time was tight and he only had time to take Luo Xunfei away.
The same goes for taking Luo Xunfei away.
Herman believed that more than a month would be enough for Luo Xunfei to see everything he wanted to see.
He must know something.
Hermann lowered his eyes and applied a little force with his fingertips.
Luo Xunfei's breathing became rapid immediately due to the pain.
Herman said, "I've checked your background. You have no connection with Li Zhou or Xia Meng. Why are you doing this? What good will it bring you if you find that child?"
Luo Xunfei laughed intermittently, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his lips.
He looked up into Hermann's eyes.
The lights in the basement were dim.
The only light came from the lamp behind Herman.
Under Herman's cover, Luo Xunfei's eyes now looked as deep as the sea.
He stared at Hermann intently and said, "Mr. Hermann, don't you think it's too late to ask these questions now?"
There was a flash of anger in Herman's eyes.
The fingers tightened little by little.
Yes, he actually asked now.
He had never taken Luo Xunfei seriously before.
A lowly guide.
He just wanted to borrow the power of his black tower to find someone.
The power of foresight is indeed precious.
Herman didn't care what Luo Xunfei wanted to do with his predictive ability.
Maybe he wanted to change his own situation.
That didn't matter to Herman.
It's like the god standing on the top of the mountain doesn't need to know what the ants at the foot of the mountain want.
Little did he know that he would be bitten on the foot by an ant.
Hermann blinked.
There was a flash of lightning in his azure eyes.
He curled the corners of his lips coldly: "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways to make you speak."
Luo Xunfei broke out in cold sweat on his back.
He thought Herman was going to continue lynching, but Herman shook his face off and stood up.
Hermann turned around and said in English, "(Go find Lan.)"
In the darkness of the basement, a short, red-haired young man walked out and bowed his head in response.
Luo Xunfei remembered that man, the sentinel who broke through the space rift and brought him and Hermann back to England from China in the blink of an eye.
orchid……
Who again?
