From Prisoner to Si Chen

Time has quietly come to the end of July.

During this period, the incident gradually fermented and its influence expanded. But Jilan, the person involved, did not deliberately inquire about it, and was not very interested.

He still went to and from get off work as usual.

Be a conscientious chairman.

That night, after finishing the tedious business, Gilan drove back to the apartment, intending to talk to Weiner and Aleviya.

The two of them took advantage of this leisurely time to have a good rest. Since breaking away from their respective secret societies, they have regained their freedom and no longer need to disguise themselves.

My body and mind were relieved of all burdens, both inside and out, and I lived very freely. So the two of them walked around the capital, Muse City, to experience the local culture and taste the delicious food.

"Weiner, Alevia, would you mind joining the Bremen Mysterious Investigation Committee?"

In the living room at night, while drinking tea, Gillan made suggestions to two friends.

"Of course, this is just a proposal, it's okay if you don't want to."

"Inquiry committee?"

Weiner was stunned as he held the tea cup.

He and the woman in the white dress next to him looked at each other and saw the surprised expression on the other's face.

"Mr. Gillan, are you planning to make us members of the committee?"

"Yeah." Jilan put down the teacup and nodded. "You two are quite capable. You have also served as high-level officials in the three major secret societies. You have a good understanding of the mysterious field. If you become members of the committee, you will have unique advantages."

He paused briefly, raised his eyes again, looked at the two friends opposite the coffee table, and said:

"In today's world, headed by the three major overlords, the two countries of Austria and Austria are at war, and the situation is not clear... You are now long-term beings with extraordinary lifespans, and you will have more opportunities to come into contact with higher-level things in the future."

"As the highest body of the Bremen Empire on the mysterious side, the committee is a good choice."

Hearing this, Aleviya suddenly laughed and said:

"The more important reason is because you are the chairman of the committee, Jilan! Arranging us to join the committee is just a matter of one sentence!"

"That's right."

Gilan did not deny it and smiled.

"However, even if you don't choose to join the committee, but plan to go to any mysterious force in Bremen, I can still handle it with just one sentence... It all depends on your own wishes."

Listening to this domineering speech, Weiner and Aleviya couldn't help but sigh.

The "Red Sage" is now in the empire. It can be said that he stands at the top of the dual pyramid of reality and mystery. His words can make any mysterious force tremble.

"Since you said so, Ji Lan, of course I won't refuse."

Alevia smoothed her hair and said with a smile.

Immediately, she put her chin on her hand and joked:

"However, we are also long-term people after all. You won't arrange for us to start from the grassroots level, right?"

"Of course not."

Gillan laughed.

"Committee members are generally level 2 mystics, and the team leader is a level 3 veteran... As Kuze people, you can definitely serve as the leader of the special operations team."

"very nice."

Alivia chuckled.

Weiner, a bald man beside him, also said cheerfully:

"This can be regarded as the return of our undercover agents, and they have been gloriously promoted to full-time positions... Before, I never thought that I could become the head of the committee's special operations team."

"It's just a pity that Mr. Franco and Miss Aurora are not here, otherwise our small team would be together again."

"Yes." Aleviya looked at her fondly. "I haven't seen the two of them in real life for a long time."

Hearing the two people talking about this matter, Gilan couldn't help but look thoughtful.

At the beginning, he proposed that the members of the "Hand of Dawn" should be dispersed and develop independently, helping each other and watching over each other when needed.

But now, the significance of this plan seems to be less important. After all, each has a certain degree of strength, and Jilan is at the pinnacle of the world.

Franco is currently a senior member of the "Recording Society", but the purpose of this secret society is to explore the secrets of "director" Yue Sichen through real films.

Ms. Crow and other senior officials of the "Screening Round Table" did not know the truth that the "director" had died.

'It's time to tell them about it...'

Gillan thought.

Whether it was his friendship with Ms. Crow or the collaboration on the "Curtain Call" remnant, he felt that he needed to tell the secret history of the "director's" death.

Otherwise, the "recording meeting" will be in vain.

As for the future of the "Recording Meeting" after learning the truth about this matter, Gillan doesn't know, and there is no need to know.

"I will contact Franco and Aurora tomorrow to ask for their opinions."

Ji Lan retracted his thoughts and said to the two of them.

"If they also agree to join the committee, then the 'Hand of Dawn' will be reunited in reality."

"In that case, great!"

Aleviya and Weiner were very happy.

…

…

The next day, Gillan took the two of them to the Triumph Building to arrange for them to join the company.

The process was smooth.

After all, the chairman of the committee holds the power to appoint and remove personnel, and it is really just a matter of words. After giving simple instructions to Maiev, she arranged all the procedures.

However, a small episode occurred during this process.

That was Alevia's temporary change of heart. She was not planning to take up the position of head of the special operations team, but planned to become the chairman's personal secretary.

This incident immediately aroused dissatisfaction with Miss Maiev.

However, the role of secretary to the chairman is not something that can be done casually. He needs to be familiar with all matters of the committee and have sufficient experience.

Obviously, Aleviya does not have it.

Although she was stronger than Miss Maiev, the final result was that she unfortunately "lost the election" and had no choice but to accept the original arrangement with a proud face.

After arranging Weiner and Aleviya, Gillan asked Maiev to familiarize them with the environment and duties, and then returned to the office.

He made a cup of hot coffee, sat on the leather chair, and directly called "Ms. Crow" the alchemy hotline.

After a pleasant sound of wind chimes passed.

Click.

"Hello, Mr. Gillan?"

A familiar female voice came from over there, with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Jilan held the microphone and said with a smile:

"It's me."

"Is there anything important Mr. Gillan?"

Ms. Crow sounded quite surprised.

In her opinion, the "Red Sage" just made a big fuss in the Federation not long ago, so he should be very busy now.

But I didn't expect to call the hotline for myself.

"That's right." Gillan said. "Ms. Crow, regarding the previous real film "Curtain Call # Part 2", unfortunately, I destroyed it."

"this……"

Ms. Crow was shocked, but didn't know what to say.

Blame him?

Let’s not say that Ms. Crow doesn’t have the guts. Furthermore, this film is a collaboration between the two parties, and the other party also has certain rights to dispose of it.

Ms. Crow just feels deeply sorry.

At this time, Jilan said again:

"I'm very sorry, Ms. Crow. I will give you a satisfactory compensation for your 'recording meeting'. In addition, I have finished watching this video and can inform you of some of its contents."

"Huh?" After hearing this, Ms. Crow was quite surprised. "If that's the case, that would be great."

Immediately afterwards, Gillan used the teleportation alchemy array attached to the hotline to send a total of 10,000 gold Caesars.

Ms. Crow was very surprised by this. "Is that too much, Mr. Gillan?"

"This film deserves so much."

Gillan sighed.

"I can't reveal too much about the content of the film, because it involves Si Sui and some dangerous secrets. It would be harmful and useless for you to know too much... I can only say that the 'director' Si Chen in February has actually fallen. "

"The 'director' has fallen?!"

Ms. Crow's voice rose, appearing in disbelief.

"Yeah." Jilan said solemnly. "On the midsummer night of 1916, He was jointly assassinated by three artistic masters: 'Miss Elegy', 'Mrs. Ya' and 'White Dove Poet'."

"That murder was called the 'Night of Exposure' because since then, real film reels have appeared around the world. This is the truth about the secret history... and "Curtain Call" is the film that the 'director' created for himself. The filmed autobiography summarizes his life."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the hotline for a long time.

Ms. Crow took a deep breath and said in a daze:

"No wonder...no wonder the Bremen Empire issued an 'Art Decree' eleven years ago, banning the dissemination of films and videos, and closing major theaters. And our 'Record Society' was founded in that year. "

"I just didn't expect that the great 'director' was dead and was killed by the three major art directors!"

Ms. Crow's tone was quite disappointed.

Even a little frustrated.

Because most of the members of the "Recording Club" are taking the path of the "Spiral of Swords" and "directors" in February.

They are all believers in "directing".

But now I know that the supreme god in my heart has long since fallen, and the sadness can be imagined.

"Thank you for sharing this secret history. This is very important to us, very important!"

Ms. Crow took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"You're welcome." Gillan said. "Well, Ms. Crow, I want to acquire the fragment of 'No. 2' that your 'Recording Society' has in your possession. What do you think?"

"Allow me to inform the Screening Roundtable and I will give you a reply after discussion, okay?"

Ms. Crow said in a low tone.

"In fact, after experiencing the tragic loss of the last movie viewing, the secret society also came to the conclusion that that film was not something we could explore at all... So Mr. Gillan wanted the remaining fragment of 'No. 2', There should be no problem.”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After Gilan finished speaking, he hung up the hotline.

…

…

The reply from the record meeting was very quick.

That evening, while Gilan was sitting in the office annotating documents, the metal microphone on the table vibrated and lit up with a golden alchemical array.

He raised his hand to pick up the hotline and answer it.

"Hey, Mr. Gillan, the meeting passed... We agree to transfer the fragment of 'No. 2' to you, but the price may be a bit expensive."

Ms. Crow said straight to the point.

Her tone was rather uneasy, as if she was worried about offending Gilan.

Ever since Gillan became the Chairman of the Imperial Council, especially since he went to the Federation alone some time ago and caused the "Grand Opera House Terrorist Attack" that shocked the world, Ms. Crow understood that the status of the two sides was no longer equal.

Their "recording meeting" seems to be a weak party. They cannot easily offend the "Red Sage" and can only please them respectfully.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gilan, we are not asking for a higher price, but because... we are going to disband the 'Record Society' and need a large sum of money to accommodate the members."

Ms. Crow explained quickly.

Gilan was a little surprised.

"The 'Record Society' is going to disband?"

"Yes." Ms. Crow said. "After learning that the 'director' was dead, the atmosphere inside the secret society fell into a trough, and everyone seemed to have lost faith and the meaning of continuing to explore the film..."

"And there is another important reason. That is, a few days ago, we suddenly found that all the real films were invalid and we couldn't continue to watch the film."

"There is such a thing?!"

Gilan was quite surprised.

"Yes, for some reason, all the real films we collected were scrapped by an invisible force and couldn't be watched..."

Ms. Crow said in a deep voice.

Gilan thought about it and suddenly realized that this might be his own fault.

After he watched the film "Curtain Call # ", the "chief photographer" of February Apostle, Ms. Cross Melanie, personally visited him and confronted him, telling him the back-up plan arranged by the "director".

Those real films were actually a tool left to him by the "director" for him to use for rapid growth.

Now, it is obviously no longer useful.

So the "script assistant" Hera, who was in the film, and the "royal actor" Mr. A, would naturally destroy the real film.

After figuring it out, Gillan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was silent for a few seconds and asked:

"Ms. Crow, what price do you plan to offer for the "No. 2" fragment?"

"8,000 Caesars, how about it?"

Ms. Crow said cautiously on the other end of the phone.

"If you think it's too expensive, we can make it cheaper. After all, we don't know whether the fragment is the same as other real films... maybe we can't watch the movie normally even if we collect them all."

"It's okay, let's just give you 10,000 Caesars, and that's the amount of compensation you will get."

Gilan said.

This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the "Record Society", but there is no need to explain it in detail to Ms. Crow.

In addition, he believes that "Curtain Call" will not be invalid, because he has not watched the first part, which contains the secrets left to him by the "director".

Gilan's words surprised Ms. Crow.

Not only did he not lower the price, but he also raised the price.

She took a deep breath and said gratefully:

"Praise your generosity, Mr. Gilan. On behalf of all members of the "Record Society", I would like to express my gratitude to you... Then, I will pass the fragment over."

Then, the two sides traded again through the alchemy array.

Gilan sent over the banknotes of 10,000 gold Caesars, and he got the "No. 2" fragment.

"Happy transaction, Mr. Gilan."

Ms. Crow breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief.

"However, this should be the last transaction I will make with you on behalf of the 'Record Society'... From now on, I may only have the identity of a member of 'Night Rose'."

"Happy transaction."

Gilan smiled.

"Even if the 'Record Society' is disbanded, it will not affect our friendship, Ms. Crow... When I was still young, you helped me a lot, and I will always remember it."

"This is what I am grateful for, Mr. Gilan."

Ms. Crow smiled.

The two chatted for a few more words.

Gilan said:

"By the way, please tell Mr. Franco to come directly to the capital Musciti when he is free. An old friend wants to see him."

"Okay, of course no problem."

Ms. Crow responded.
