Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

The light music in the 'reception room' had already stopped playing, and only the lingering aroma of coffee remained in the quiet room. Under 315's watchful eyes, Alai looked closely at the photos, trying to dig out some clues from his memory.

Old memories gradually became clear in my mind, and those dusty faces emerged one by one.A Lai reached out and clicked on one of the photos to enlarge it, and frowned slightly.

It was the face of a young woman, with silver hair combed back, and dark green eyes slightly narrowed, as if she was staring at someone, at first glance she seemed to be under scrutiny.

"Cecilia..." Alai murmured, and he remembered that the person in the photo was his colleague in the Mage Tower, Cecilia.

After remembering one of them, the remaining people are easier to identify. Of the seven photos, five of them are people he once knew in the Mage Tower, and two of the remaining three are people from the original company. colleagues, and one is a past client.

"We investigated your interpersonal relationship, and then cross-checked with the list of the Mages Association in District Four, and then screened out those who may have participated in the 'Sky Star' experiment. This lady named Cecilia is one of the suspects. The biggest one." 315 saw that Alai had finished reading the photos, and then explained the progress of his investigation.

The investigative ability of the third district is unquestionable. Hearing what 315 said, Ah Lai can basically confirm that the person who wants to kill him is 'Cecilia'.

But why kill him?Is it for Leviathan?

Alai tried to recall the female magician who had worked with him, but found that he and Cecilia didn't have a deep connection.To be precise, he was not very close to everyone in the mage tower at that time.

In the beginning, it was because he was selected as Leviathan's chief disciple, and he traveled between laboratories every day, and occasionally when he was free, he preferred to be alone.

Ah Zi laughed. At that time, I didn't understand what loneliness was, and I always felt more comfortable when I was alone.

As for later... After discovering that he might be a magical creature, it was even more impossible to make friends with other magicians.What's more, because I'm always afraid that I don't know when I will be exposed, so I live more reclusively.

This situation also caused Alai to have no idea what he looked like in the eyes of other magicians, and naturally he didn't know the noisy gossip in the mage's tower.

After nearly a year of planning to escape from the Mage Tower, Alai reached an agreement with the third district using Leviathan as a bargaining chip.At that time, the three districts were preparing to implement the 'Magic Creature Protection Agreement', and he just took advantage of this.

But for nearly ten years after that, Alai did not get more deeply involved in the battle between the third district and the fourth district. He just found a humble job and lived a simple but peaceful life.

What is the reason why Cecilia, ten years later, tried every means to bury such a big game and must put herself to death?

Alai was a little puzzled.

As far as the only recent changes are concerned... probably the signing of a contract with Ned and the establishment of the 'Delai Transportation Company'.No, no, he did one more thing recently...

315 has been staring at Alai's expression since just now, and now seeing his sudden realization, he couldn't help asking, "Did you think of any clues?"

Hearing this, Alai glanced at 315 subconsciously, and then remembered the identity of the person in front of him. He hesitated before asking, "Has Weixi mentioned the 'Bloodstone Star' to you?"

"Are you talking about the 'Bloodstone Star' smuggling incident a few months ago? Master... Master Weixi didn't mention it to me. This matter was handled by the noble council and the mastermind. I just heard a little bit about it. .” 315 paused for some reason before replying.

The three districts are a system of separation of powers. The aristocratic council represented by Weixi and others, the artificial intelligence led by the mastermind, and the mechanical races such as 315, the three parties jointly maintain the operation of the three districts.

On the handling of matters and the exercise of rights, especially the attitude towards the four districts, the three parties hold different views.

The noble council has always been a staunch advocate of the war faction, the mechanical race hopes to find a way to coexist peacefully, and the mastermind has so far maintained a neutral attitude.

"Is that so..." Alai hesitated a little, he subconsciously felt that Cecilia probably wanted to kill him because of the 'Bloodstone Star' incident, but now the 'Bloodstone Star' incident is obvious. It involves a struggle for rights in the three districts.

Alai speculated that at that time, the nobles represented by Wei Xi and others had reached some kind of agreement with the Magician Association of the Fourth District in private with a high probability. Unaware.

According to this, the fact that he asked Weixi for help on the "Sky Star" at that time, but it turned out to be 315 belonging to the mechanical clan, is worth pondering.

Thinking of this, Ah Lai felt that his head was about to get knotted.

He went to work as a 'deliverer' at the beginning to get away from these messy right and wrong, but he didn't expect that he couldn't get around these messy things by going around.

It's also because the days of comfort have passed for a long time. When 315 found him, he should have been vigilant and checked with Weixi again, Alai thought with some annoyance.

Speaking of which, Weixi hasn't contacted him since then, which is actually a bit weird... According to Weixi's tight-knit personality, at least he would send a message to care about the follow-up progress.

After all, Ned is actually to blame, who asked him to confess his love at this time.Then... how could he have time to think about other things!

Ah Lai thought with red ears.

He felt that since he was with Ned, his IQ seemed to have degenerated, and he didn't bother to think about anything in depth, so he thought about violent cracking.

A Lai sighed, and subconsciously glanced at 315 sitting opposite him, only to find that the other party was also staring at him, with a standard smile accurate to the micron, waiting for his answer.

Alai squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and decided to bypass the topic of 'Bloodstone Star' first, and focus directly on Cecilia: "I was thinking too much just now, can you tell me about Cecilia's recent situation first?" You should have investigated her? After all, she is your number one suspect, isn't she?"

Hearing this, 315 paused for a moment, as if judging whether the second half of the topic that Alai swallowed was the information he needed to grasp, but in the end 315 did not pursue Alai, but chose to answer Alai's question : "You're right, we did investigate this lady's recent situation."

315 clicked on a photo again, which also showed Cecilia's face. This photo looked like a snapshot, and the location should be an inconspicuous western restaurant. The Cecilia on the screen was more beautiful than the previous photo. He was a lot haggard, but his eyes were obviously more gloomy, with a taste of madness.

"We took this photo outside a restaurant in the fourth district through the surveillance system. In view of the identity of the other suspect, we monitored her to a certain extent. Unfortunately, the other party was obviously on guard, most of the time Stay in a residence with a shielding circle."

Speaking of this, 315 changed a photo again, and said: "According to the official news recently released by the Magician Association, Cecilia has resigned from the job of the Deputy Director of the Logistics Department of the Magician Association a few days ago. This is official news. screenshot."

"Resign?" Alai repeated the word with some surprise. In his only memory about Cecilia, he remembered that Cecilia seemed to be a person who took power very seriously. This kind of person would take the initiative to resign... It's kind of weird when you think about it.

"Yes, the official announcement is to resign. But according to the systematic analysis, Cecilia is very likely to be forced to resign by the Wizards Association of District Four, for some reason that was not announced." 315 explained sternly.

"It's just the reason for the announcement? Could it be related to the 'Sky Star' experiment? Because it was originally an illegal experiment, so even if Cecilia was accused by the association, the association had no way to directly dismiss her, and could only threaten her to resign voluntarily. "A Lai guessed based on the clues provided by 315.

"Your guess is very close to the system's analysis. After we uploaded all the clues to the system, it judged that Ms. Cecilia may have been exposed because she used the 'Star' to ambush you. The Wizards Association forced him to resign." 315 nodded affirmatively at Alai.

"That's it..." Alai echoed a few words casually, and fell into deep thought.Although the judgment of the three-zone system rarely makes mistakes, he still feels that this may not be the case.

According to my own understanding of the group of magicians, whether Cecilia used the planet as bait, or wanted to admit that murdering the magicians, it was actually not a big deal, and that group of people always had no bottom line at all.

What really made the association make up its mind should be what Cecilia did, allowing the third district to catch the handle of the fourth district again, so it made up its mind to throw away Cecilia, a pretty good pawn.

In other words, in fact, the fourth district already knew what Cecilia did, and even had relevant evidence, and because of her behavior, the third district, that is, the 315 and others in front of them, mastered the "Sky Star" experimental plan, and had Because of the handle of the fourth district, that's why he was forced to resign.

Alai silently analyzed the current situation in his heart.

At present, the third district and the fourth district are clearly in conflict. Although 315 only lists Cecilia as a suspect, they all know that Cecilia did this.

The problem lies in the fact that Cecilia is a magician in the fourth district. If the third district confirms the crime, they have to arrest her. However, the fourth district may not release her, but it may affect the third district in the end. The relationship with the four districts was finally eased.

Thinking of this, Alai couldn't help but tentatively asked 315: "I have a small question to ask you, for example, I mean, if Cecilia really wants to kill me, what can you do?" degree?"

"To what extent? I don't understand what you mean." 315 stared at Ah Lai and said with a flash of eyes.

"Then let me make it clear. I want to know, do you have the right to arrest Cecilia?" Ah Lai squinted his eyes, as if pointing out: "After all, Cecilia is the registered official of the fourth district." Magician."

After Ah Lai finished this sentence, 315 finally had some obvious changes in his eyes. He pondered for a moment before saying: "In fact, it is almost impossible to arrest Cecilia like this. The key is that we have no direct Evidence to prove Cecilia's crime."

315 paused at this point, and finally revealed his ultimate goal of finding Alai, "So, in order to catch Cecilia as soon as possible, and also for your own safety, we hope you can cooperate with our work."

"Oh, how to do it specifically?" Alai raised his eyebrows, not surprised by this.

"We judge that after this failure, Cecilia will definitely make a comeback. We hope that you will play a show so that we can actually grasp the evidence of Cecilia's intention to murder." 315 smiled and said, I don't know if it is It wasn't an illusion, there was a sense of urgency in that smile.

Although he was already mentally prepared, Alai let out a low laugh when he heard the words.So many years have passed, and the world has not changed... What the third district is doing now is nothing more than trying to use Cecilia as a bargaining chip to gain power from the fourth district, just like the original Leviathan incident.

Even this incident itself is somewhat similar to the Leviathan incident ten years ago. It involved experiments with magic media, and it was related to a prominent magician. Unfortunately, Alai was involved in it. up.

The only difference is that the current Alai is much stronger than ten years ago, and he no longer needs to rely on the power of the three districts to ensure his own safety, even...

Address Cecilia directly.
