Chapter 1682 Negotiating Countermeasures
"why not?"

Ripple asked directly.

Yekaterina bit her lip and said:

"As Jim's childhood sweetheart, I am very sure that the body is his. I don't want Jim to get hurt. Besides, we have no evidence. If it is just based on feelings, even if I tell Mr. Javier, he will not believe it."

Lianyi understood that Ekaterina wanted to investigate on her own, and in the process it would be best not to alarm the current "Jim" and not let Jim's body get hurt. After obtaining certain evidence, she would tell the upper echelons of the hunter organization.

"I understand what you mean and your thoughts, but it is unrealistic for us to investigate on our own."

Lianyi also expressed his thoughts.

"I know, and I've thought of someone who can help us."

Ekaterina said as she looked at Lianyi.

"who is it?"

"Master Philot."

"Him? What do you want Mr. Philot to do?"

Lianyi asked doubtfully. In his opinion, Philot was just a fragile nurse with almost zero combat power.

"I once read an old tome of divine texts. There is a divine text in it that can temporarily seal the body of a shadow hunter and put the soul into a deep sleep, buying us more time to find out the cause."

Ekaterina needed an ally now, so she did not hide her thoughts.

"Will Mr. Phillot help us? What if he thinks we are harming Jim?
And we have temporarily incapacitated Jim, so what's the next step? Which clue should we follow?"

Lianyi put forward all her doubts, even if she wanted to intervene, she had to have a direction and a goal.

Obviously Ekaterina was stumped by the question. She only thought about temporarily imprisoning Jim's body, and she didn't really think about what to do next.

"So do you have any better plan?"

Ekaterina asked bluntly.

Lian Yi thought for a moment and then said:

"I agree with your suggestion to temporarily seal Jim's body, but before that, I think we should first figure out who the current 'Jim' is? Where is the real Jim?
According to your feeling and my speculation, I think Jim's soul must have been replaced, which also explains why the other party repeatedly tried to capture him instead of killing him directly. "

After hearing Lianyi's words, especially the second half, Yekaterina's hands suddenly tightened and her face turned extremely pale in an instant.

In fact, she had this guess a long time ago, but she had always refused to think about it, and even comforted herself with some self-deception. However, as she observed Jim more and more, the answer was about to come out, but she had never said it out loud. Now that this guess was said by Lianyi, it became the last straw that broke her back.

Lianyi sensed that something was wrong with Yekaterina's mood. She immediately understood her ostrich mentality when facing Jim's question. She sighed and said:

"Ekaterina, Jim is your lover and your partner. In fact, you have noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but you couldn't face it at the moment and couldn't find any solid evidence, so you chose to remain silent.

If I didn't come to you today, how long could you have kept it secret for the other party?

Have you ever thought about what the person who replaced Jim and entered the Hunter General wants to do? Will it be detrimental to you or the Hunter Organization? As the person closest to the other party, you are the most dangerous. "

Therefore, Lianyi hates love-brained people the most. Many things can obviously be avoided, but because of concerns about this and that, they will choose to compromise again and again. The enemy will then take advantage of the opportunity to attack and conquer.

After listening to Lianyi's analysis, Yekaterina was silent for a while longer. Then she let out a long breath, wiped her face with both hands, and then said:

"You're right. To save Jim, I can't be impatient, nor can I alert the other party. At least before the other party's real purpose is achieved, he still needs me to cover his identity and won't do anything to me. So we should use this time to find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Seeing that the other party was willing to listen to her advice, Lianyi offered some constructive advice: "Actually, your idea of ​​looking for Master Philot is not a problem. It reminds me of another person who can help us."

"Who?"

“Wizard Klinsmann, if it involves soul swapping, then we will definitely need the help of a wizard. Perhaps Wizard Klinsmann can help us find clues.

Master Philot and Wizard Klinsmann are friends. If we can convince Master Philot, maybe he can ask Wizard Klinsmann to help us."

After hearing Lianyi's words, Yekaterina's eyes lit up and she thought the proposal was feasible.

Next, the two discussed the detailed implementation steps, and then they acted separately.

Ripple avoids Jim and Vincent and goes to find Master Philot.

Philot was reading a book. Although his eyes were fixed on the book, his mind was wandering somewhere else.

"Master Philot."

"Yes, it's Lianyi! Why did you come to me at this time? Are you injured?"

Philot quickly came back to his senses, and when he saw that the person coming was Lianyi, he asked directly.

"Master Philot, I'm fine and not injured. I came to you today because I want to ask for your help."

"Help? What help? Come and see."

Philot closed the book in his hand, obviously interested, and motioned for Lianyi to sit down and talk.

After Lianyi sat down, she briefly talked about the abnormalities that occurred after Jim was rescued, mainly from Ekaterina's perspective. She only mentioned her own special senses in passing.

After hearing this, Philot stroked the cold coffee cup in front of him. After a moment, his beautiful eyes widened, as if he had made some guesses. He cursed in a low voice and said to Lianyi:
“Lianyi, your and Yekaterina’s discovery is very important. You did the right thing by seeking help instead of investigating on your own, and the solution you provided is also feasible.

The most important thing now is to keep Jim steady and not let him notice anything. We will do the rest step by step."

"I understand. What should we do next?"

Philot looked at Lianyi with a smile and said:

"At this stage, you need to gain Jim's favor and then compete with Ekaterina for his favor."

"what?"

Lianyi was a little upset after hearing what Phillotte said. Wasn't this the same old path as her original self? And this time she was the third party who interfered with their relationship. She was a little unhappy about it.

"Oh! I'm just pretending. I know you don't like Jim, but this is to confuse him!"

Philot immediately explained.

"I don't need to interfere with their relationship to confuse him. I know how to do it. Don't worry, I can definitely confuse him."

Lianyi gave a formal smile and turned and left.

Philot pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose to cover his sparkling eyes. He felt that this time there would definitely be something exciting to watch.

When Lianyi rushed to meet up with Yekaterina, the other three were already waiting for her. Tonight was their team's night patrol.

"Ripple, you're late."
