Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 259 Goodbye (Thanks to the leader of the Blade of Destruction for the reward)

Just when the scene was in chaos, the city lord burst in wearing a black mask. They were supposed to clean up the mess, but when the city lord saw the body of Lord Xia Ye, the situation suddenly slipped out of control.

I will never forget her expression at that time. The Lord of the City stood there blankly, first surprised, stunned, and unbelievable, and finally, the sadness that seemed to burn up everything slowly flowed down with tears...

The surrounding air suddenly became extremely hot, and screams broke the suffocating silence. I turned my head and found that someone's clothes were burning - not ordinary fire, but black witch's flame.

Immediately afterwards, not only people, but black flames ignited out of thin air on the ground, equipment, and even in the air. When a person's mood swings are too large, her contract ability may "spill over", but at that moment , no one knows whether the city lord accidentally spilled it, or whether he deliberately did not control himself...

Everyone only knows one thing, if no one comes out to stop her, everyone will die. But the only people present who have the strength to stop the city lord are Xia Ye and Victoria. Although Bafa Liya is also a great witch above level 8, she has never been good at fighting.

But now one of the two has become a headless corpse, and the other has just lost all the contracts he signed. At this moment, the city lord suddenly turned his head, and his eyes slowly swept across everyone present. When I saw those red eyes, my heart tightened, as if a hand was holding my cup. .

This is not a metaphor, because the next second, a scream sounded behind me, followed by a muffled sound of "pop". I turned around and saw a body falling on the ground.

The unlucky girl didn't know if she lost her mind due to the great pressure, and even tried to escape. As a result, her cup was grabbed by a hand made of black flames and pulled out of her body.

In the next second, the cup was burned to ashes by black flames, and then her body also burned and turned into a slightly larger pile of ashes.

The strength in the body holding the cup became a little stronger.

At that moment, I really thought I was going to die. I used to think that I was not afraid of death, as long as I was buried with those high-ranking witches from "Ether Exploration", but now that Master Xia Ye is dead, I realized that I was still afraid, and I was so afraid that my body was shaking. Like an automatic screening machine in a laboratory.

Just when my nerves were on the verge of collapse, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air above. Everyone looked up in shock, only to see a huge pair of scissors falling from the sky and falling straight towards the location of the city lord.

The city lord did not look to the sky like the others, but a giant hand made of witch's flame appeared instantly and accurately grasped the scissors.

The next moment, the giant hand collapsed and the scissors continued to fall, even a little faster.

More black flame giant hands intercepted them, but they all collapsed in front of the tailor's scissors that were more than ten meters long. Finally, with a soft "click" sound, the sharp blade was inserted into the side of the city lord, only less than half a meter away from her.

The city lord finally raised his head and looked at Victoria, who was standing on the handle of the scissors. The latter looked at her, jumped down lightly, and landed in front of her. At this time, Victoria still looked like a girl, looking even two points smaller than the city lord. She raised her head slightly, looked directly at the city lord, and said only one sentence:

"If we kill them all now, we will be completely unable to investigate the cause of your sister's death."

After a period of unbearable silence, the city lord finally nodded. The power of holding the cup in his body suddenly disappeared without a trace. The scene was filled with gasps. Everyone knew that he had temporarily saved his life.

This is everything that happened on August 8. After that, because I was isolated and interrogated, I could no longer learn what happened next.

It wasn't until I regained my freedom that I collected some bits and pieces of tidbits from various sources.

For example, Sir Xia Ye is the sister of the city lord - no wonder Victoria said to the city lord that day "the reason why your sister died." Sir Xia Ye has been hiding her identity from us until now, and it is only now that the answer has finally been revealed.

For another example, neither the "Ether Exploration" nor the city lord knew anything about Lord Xia Ye's experiment before the accident that day. From beginning to end, Lord Xia Ye used his own resources to advance this project in secret.

For another example, the so-called "moth disaster" mentioned by Xia Ye is just a delusion. She has promoted this delusion to the board of directors of "Ether Exploration" in the past. "Ether Exploration" has not taken it lightly at all, and has sent people to the dome many times. Although she did not find any evidence to support the theory of "moth disaster", Lady Xia Ye still insisted on her idea... In short, if I use a less polite term - Xia Ye There may be something wrong with Mr. Ye's mind.

……

All in all, the entire project was a farce, with almost no results except for consuming a huge amount of manpower and material resources and leading to the death of Lord Xia Ye himself.

For me, perhaps what I should be more worried about is the upcoming unemployment.

……

December 439, 9

Surprisingly, "Aether Exploration" didn't fire me.

Instead, I was given a special assignment: to study a "brain."

Today, in the laboratory specially arranged by "Aether Exploration", I met "Master Xia Ye" again.

To be precise, it was her head and her body. The former was the focus of the "Aether Exploration" request for me to study. When I conducted a simple examination of it, I immediately understood why they asked me to do this.

It also became a "head", a head with the same properties as those 144 heads.

It cannot be detected inside, cannot be destroyed, and with my eyes closed tightly, no matter what I do, I cannot get them to open. At the same time, it still maintains the appearance of Sir Xia Ye. Lady Xia Ye is a very beautiful witch, and therefore, it is also a very beautiful head, and it does not go against the grain when placed together with the other 144 heads.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that it has become more perfect than the way it was before Xia Ye’s lifetime. Like the rest of the head, it has an awe-inspiring sense of flawlessness.

After working for a long time, I didn't find anything more on this "head". On the contrary, when I checked Master Xia Ye's body, I found some abnormalities.

The cup in the body is missing.

I asked my assistant, and she said that no one has touched the body of Lord Xia Ye since it was transported here. The laboratory is guarded by no less than four black masks around the clock, and one of them is even a level 6 witch. So someone stole the cup...almost impossible.

I asked her if it was possible that the cup had been removed before the body was brought here. The assistant told me that this body was escorted here by the Lord of the City himself. If anyone took it away, it could only be the Lord of the City himself.

It's not impossible... I thought to myself.

After thinking about it for a moment, I reported my findings to Aether Prospecting and requested a Probe contract to examine the location of the cup.

Not long after, the reply came and the other party approved my application.

The laboratory quickly completed the preparations, and the slender "probe" entered the body of Mr. Xia Ye down the throat. We repeatedly probed the position where the cup should have been, but did not find any suspicious traces.

As we all know, the combination of the cup and the body is very tight and very strong. It is as difficult to take it out without leaving any traces as it is to steal the cup from here.

Of course, the Lord of the City might be able to do it, but I don’t think she did it. Because, if she had taken away the cup, there is no need or possibility for "Ether Exploration" to agree to our use of "probes" on Sir Xia Ye's body.

……

After confirming that I could find no other clues, I submitted a report to "Aether Exploration",

And they seemed quite satisfied with my work. I was forced to sign a confidentiality contract. From now on, I cannot tell anyone in any way about my participation in Master Xia Ye's experiment or what happened today. Otherwise, the confidentiality contract would take my life away the moment other people found out.

Then, they told me that I could go back and pretend that none of this had ever happened. I could continue to be the chairman of "Mos Biology" and get a fairly good salary to spend my life.

I can understand why they didn't erase my memory or silence me altogether - I still had some use. "Ether Exploration"'s research on those heads will not stop easily. One day in the future, maybe I will be asked to join their research team again.

December 440, 12

I originally thought that I would never write this diary again.

More than a year has passed since that incident. During this period of time, my life was ordinary and even boring, without any abnormality, and "Ether Exploration" never came to me for anything other than the company's daily business.

"Mo's Biology" has been researching dome wheat in the past year. I still remember Master Xia Ye once said to me that it was because of her investment in the past that the company that invented the dome wheat was able to come back to life - however, they It ended up going bankrupt, just a year ago. Under the coordination of the "Ether Exploration" headquarters, we acquired their business, including all research results on dome microphones.

We are doing pretty well, and the yield of the latest variety has increased by 20% on the original basis. Maybe it’s because people always like to beautify the past. Now I often think that Lady Xia Ye is actually a pretty good person. Although her delusions have led a lot of people, including me, into a trap, this is not her. original intention.

She is a gentle person who always uses reason and her own charm to persuade others instead of relying on power and violence. More importantly, as long as she has promised, she will try her best to fulfill it, including my position as chairman, which is entirely due to her support. If she had not died, maybe I would have really become the "ethereal" Exploration” middle level.

I write this not because of a whim, but because today I encountered something that should be said to be... strange? horrible? Or maybe it's something surprising...

Out of the spirit of joining in the fun, I went to watch the speech during the day today. It is a very popular thing recently. It is said that a whaling ship hunted back a huge white whale from the ether sea. In order to stir up speculation, In a hot atmosphere, those people organized a speech called "We Choose to Hunt Beluga Whales" to sell the beluga whale oil at a good price.

——These are not the point. The point is the speaker. I was lucky enough to be placed in a position very close to the podium. Therefore, when I first saw her, my whole body froze. .

Even though I've never seen her face, I'm sure, absolutely sure - I've seen her body!

I clearly remember that the last time I saw it was September 339, 9, one year and three months ago.

In the laboratory of "Aether Exploration", I stayed with this body, this headless body, for more than 16 hours! At that time, we conducted countless tests on it in order to find possible clues, so I will never forget its appearance. It is like a brand, deeply engraved in my memory.

——This is Sir Xia Ye’s body!

And now, I see it again.

It was less than ten meters away, connected to a beautiful face I had never seen before, giving a speech vividly.
