Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"Director Se...Leiya?" The girl put down the book in her hand when she heard the sound of the automatic door, and looked a little surprised when she saw Sereya walking from the door.

She subconsciously wanted to stand up from the bench, but then remembered that Ifrit was still on her lap.If she wanted to move, it would definitely wake Ifrit up, she stopped her movements in time, and looked at Serena with some embarrassment.

"That's fine, you don't need to be so nervous." Serena said lightly, "I remember...you are called Anxinyuan...Angelina, that's right."

The girl's reaction Serena has long been used to, whether it is those employees under her, or other researchers in the institute, they basically have this reaction after seeing her, and only a few people will respond to her Arriving indifferently... From this point of view, that Sakota man is really interesting.

"That... yes. I'm Angelina of Anxinyuan..." Angelina pulled herself together, for fear that she might say something wrong, "May I ask what Director Serena can do for me?"

Serena didn't keep her secret either, and directly told Angelina her purpose.

"Director Pierce is dead. You and the Sakota man are listed as suspects. You cannot leave this institute until your suspicions are cleared. I hope you can hand over the bracelet."

"Huh?" Angelina was immediately dazed by the news, "Didn't Mr. Pierce leave just now?"

"Yes, after talking to you and leaving, he died in his car...that's why you are listed as suspects."

"Okay, okay..." Angelina shrank her head, took off the bracelet with some fear, and handed it to Serena.

"Director Serena, we... what will happen to us?"

"Don't worry, after the police investigation is over, if it has nothing to do with you, you will be released soon..."

"That's it..." Angelina seemed a little relieved after receiving Selea's assurance.

Leaving aside other things, the words of a serious person like Seliya still have a high degree of credibility, at least she is not like the kind of person who would lie easily.

After finishing the business, Serena glanced at Ifrit who was sleeping soundly, and asked, "What happened to Ifrit? Why did she sleep here?"

"Is such that……"

From Ifrit pestering Li Ke to learn swordsmanship, to the sudden loss of control of Originium skills at the end, Angelina recounted the whole thing that happened before to Hemer.

When Li Ke taught Ifrit swordsmanship, Sereya just frowned, slightly expressing her dissatisfaction, and did not express her own suggestion on it.

"So that's it. I already know the general situation." Seliya nodded, then changed the topic randomly, and said, "However, Miss Anxinyuan, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Can you help me release this child?" On my back? I'll send her back to her own room...letting her sleep here like this is not an option."

"Ah, okay." Angelina said it was okay.

In fact, from the photo that Angelina found in Hemer's room before, it can be seen that the relationship between Ifrit and Saria is not ordinary, so I just listened to Saria's arrangement here.

With the help of Serena, the two of them lightened their movements as much as possible, and placed her on Serena's back without waking Ifrit as much as possible.

Angelina was okay, but Serena seemed a little clumsy when she did this kind of thing, and woke Ifrit up within a few seconds.

However, when Ifrit opened his eyes and found that the person in front of him was Serena, he muttered something and fell asleep again.

"Seriya...I miss you so much."

Hearing Ifrit's murmur, Seliya's body paused slightly, and soon returned to her nonchalant look.

"This child troubled you just now. Next, I will send her to her room... Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Serena leaving with Ifrit on her back, Angelina felt a little worried.

She knew in her heart that what happened to Pierce must be done by Li Ke... Now, they have been suspected by Serena, and it is still unknown what Serena and the police will find out next.

The road ahead suddenly became confusing.

"What will happen next...?"

……

Meanwhile, a warehouse somewhere underground in Columbia.

Several strong mercenaries were carrying something like a coffin into it.

"I said, are these rich people's hobbies so strange? They paid such a high price just to let us send a corpse here?"

With a "boom", the coffin was slammed heavily on the ground, and the coffin board was lifted due to the impact, exposing the corpse contained in it.

It was Pierce who had not died long ago and his body was still cold.

"Hey! Be careful! What if you mess up?" Because of this man's recklessness, the companion who followed him gave him a kick.

"Tsk... what does it matter? We just need to throw this corpse over here, right?" As he said this, the man roughly dragged Pierce's corpse out of the coffin and threw it to an altar-like thing in front of him. above.

The mercenary glanced at the complex patterns around the altar, and said in surprise, "What is this? An altar?"

"You care about so much dry hair? Just use the money to do things." His companion took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the corpses placed on the altar, and cursed, "Okay, it's over, withdraw, Do you still want to sleep with that corpse?"

When none of them noticed, when Pierce's body was placed in the very center of the altar, the pattern near the altar lighted up indistinctly, then dimmed randomly.

"Get out of here." The mercenary cursed with a smile, followed behind his companion, and left this strange place.

The warehouse door was slowly closed, burying everything inside in darkness.

[Physical Examination Report: Pierce, Originium Skill Adaptability: Excellent. 】

In Pierce's plan, the substitute for the last sacrifice...was himself.Four or five days have passed since Pierce was killed.For a few days, everything was calm and there was no accident.

During this period, the Colombian police also came to the door. Accompanied by Sereya, they asked some questions to the three prime suspects, Li Ke, Angelina, and Cabensis.

Li Ke naturally answered "truthfully".

The Colombian police seemed to find nothing, and the investigation was at a standstill.In the first two days, they came back from time to time to ask Li Ke some questions, but in the last two days, their focus seems to have shifted to Cabensis, almost ignoring Li Ke and Angelina. To sneak out Cabensis and interrogate for several hours.

Who told him to be the last person to talk to Pierce on the phone?
