So, the doctor stood up and quickly left the office, intending to go directly to Xia Wan and ask where she wanted to go.

But, of course, Xia Wan also knew what the doctor's reaction would be when he saw the leave note, so she had already prepared for it.

The doctor stood at the door of Xia Wan's dormitory and knocked on the door continuously for several minutes, but no one answered. He became more and more anxious in his heart, so he could only choose to use his authority to open the door lock. What appeared in front of her was a neatly organized, Empty room.

"——Have you run away already!"

Immediately, the doctor's angry voice resounded throughout the room, even surprising the operators passing by in the corridor—after that, she quickly connected to the Rhode Island terminal service, commonly known as the PRTS system, trying to find Xia Wan trail.

Every operator in Rhodes Island must be connected to this system, so that the leadership can quickly determine the location of each operator and get in touch, but it will bring a huge burden to the brain, so It will not be used unless necessary.

Obviously, now is the case.

When even such a powerful PRTS failed to bring him useful information, the doctor realized that it was too late, so he could only hastily contact Amiya to retrieve the surveillance video on the island.

At this time, Xia Wan was already far away from Rhodes Island. She used the ability of the black box to eliminate her whereabouts. The ship channel swaggered on to the departing vehicle—as long as she was not closely watched, there were very few places where she could be trapped.

What's more, the two Rhodes Island field operators who were in the same vehicle as her and responsible for transporting the ore disease infected people did not notice that there was an extra person in the vehicle.

Chapter 34 Meeting!

7:19 to go out.

7:27 arrived at the filing office of the Rhode Island Office District.

7:38 left.

7:45 back to the dormitory.

At 9:52, the door of the dormitory was opened, and it closed automatically after about 20 seconds without being touched.

From the videos recorded by the surveillance cameras placed in the corridor, there is only such a little information that can be obtained. The paradise seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and has never appeared in any camera footage.

After repeated confirmation several times, but still couldn't find anything missing, the doctor said to Amiya beside him with a stern face: "...all the personnel who left Rhodes Island from 10 o'clock this morning to now Inquire about everything with the vehicle, she can't just disappear without leaving a trace."

"I see, doctor, don't worry, Miss Paradise should be fine, she..."

"I'm not worried that something will happen to her now, but I'm worried that it will happen later. She is very likely, no, she must have gone to Victoria. In two months, God knows what will happen."

"At least we have two months left, don't we?"

Like Amiya, Kelsey, who was called on the way to work, calmly looked at the increasingly irritable doctor, and said: "It is necessary to find out the whereabouts of Paradise, and it is considered a violation of the operator's rules... ...if she is still an elite operator, she should have received orders to go to Victoria - and you are acting so flustered, which has not been seen since Chernobog."

"That was before, now she is not the paradise that can call the wind and rain on the battlefield."

"A few days ago, the second training ground was sabotaged—— Rhodes Island should have a rule that it is not allowed to provoke the operators who used to be deep-sea hunters at will, especially on the main ship of Rhodes Island, you know the engineer How much time did the crew spend on repairing the training ground?"

The doctor didn't tell anyone about Xia Wan's discussion with Skadi, but obviously, what happened on Rhodes Island is hard to hide from Kelsey. considerable combat capability.

In this way, the words are very clear.

The doctor looked at Kelsey in silence, and after a while, he asked in a calmer tone than before: "Then what do you think should be done? Let her go to Victoria?"

"It's not what we should do, but what we can only do." Kelsey said, picked up the remote control and adjusted the video to the scene when the door of the dormitory closed by itself: "Optical camouflage, electronic interference, cognitive impairment. ...I don't know what method Paradise took, but she disappeared effortlessly from Rhodes Island, which is full of surveillance and armed personnel, and people come and go. Who do you think is confident that they can survive in the environment? The more complicated and broader Victoria found her? Huh?——Calm down, doctor, the more urgent the moment, the more you need to rely on your calm mind."

"I know, I know, but..."

As long as she thinks of Xia Wan being alone in the turbulent Victoria, her mind will be in a mess. In order to allow herself to think clearly, the doctor even bit her lips to bleed, but the effect is still very small. She had no choice but to stand up abruptly. Get up and walk out the door: "Give me a little time, I will think of a way."

Amiya, who was a little at a loss, and Kelsey, who looked very indifferent, were left behind.

After about ten minutes, the doctor who calmed down took off his hood, and returned to the office with a pale face and water stains on his face.

Seeing her like this, Kelsey raised her eyebrows and asked, "Calm down?"

"...Fortunately, at least I know what to do."

With that said, the doctor went to the desk and picked up the remote control, turned around and turned off the surveillance video.

"Things have already happened. Seeing this kind of thing is useless at all. What we should find out now is where the paradise went to Victoria, which mobile city-state can make it impossible to perform field missions for more than a month, and even It was Paradise who still carried the ban on her body and chose to sneak away from Rhodes Island alone, and there is a high possibility that the place she went to was the place where the surging undercurrent in Victoria officially erupted."

"But how does she know?"

Unable to keep up with the doctor's train of thought, Amiya said doubtfully: "Even we have no way to determine what's going on in Victoria right now."

"Just as she knows each of us, Amiya, she also knows things that no one else knows."

Instead of the doctor, Outcast came to respond to Kelsey's contact. She lowered the brim of her hat to gesture to the doctor and Kelsey, and said, "I thought she would apply for a transfer order from you, but I didn't expect that she was alone. Go first, what an amazing girl."

Hearing this, Kelsey turned her attention to Outcast: "What did you tell her that made her decide to leave immediately?"

"Well, I just said when the transfer order you gave me will take effect. She should already know when Rhodes Island will act. It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can't hide it when the time comes."

"Will you tell her in advance so that she has room to play? It's really like your style."

"Since she has something she wants to do, just let her do it. You have already let her move freely in Rhodes Island. Don't you just want to see what she can do?"

Outcast didn't care about Kelsey's accusation. This sentence was not so much a refutation, but more like a statement to the doctor.

Of course the doctor could hear it, and replied with a slight sigh: "Wanting to do it and being able to do it are two different things, Outcast, I dare not say that I understand Paradise, but... at least I don't think she has that ability now, We can't leave her alone."

At this time, Kelsey reminded: "Let me remind you, Rhodes Island will not act because of private affairs."

"Of course, all I'm asking for is a slight change to the original order, and the purpose of Rhodes Island will not change."

The doctor is very clear about Kelsey's rhetoric, and it is naturally impossible for her to really disrupt the layout of Rhodes Island in the entire Victoria.

The solution she came up with was actually very simple.

"Amiya, let all the elite operators who are scheduled to enter Victoria, as well as the Rhodes Island office originally established in the city-states of Victoria, if the park takes the initiative to contact them, or if they witness the park, please report and fully cooperate Her actions, only in this way can we grasp the whereabouts of the paradise and the situation in Victoria as quickly as possible."

Chapter 35 Linguists, come on stage

Hill County.

Perhaps this ordinary mobile city-state is not so ordinary, at least it also has a feature that other Victorian mobile city-states rarely have.

That is, this city-state has not been acquired by any Duke of Victoria, and the current power is essentially the Victoria City Defense Force.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it will be regarded as a target.

"...The storm is currently, but it is so peaceful."

As soon as she stepped out of the passenger car full of travelers, Xia Wan raised her hand to block the somewhat dazzling sunlight, and looked up at the bright sky that was rarely seen in Rhodes Island.

After leaving Rhode Island for more than a week, she finally came here and set foot on the land of Xiaoqiu County.

In this mobile city-state that is biased towards agriculture, there is a breath of harvest. The Victorian buildings have heavy traces of history, and most of the pedestrians around are dressed in exotic costumes.

Traveling alone and coming to a strange country is rare in Xia Wan's entire life. She has never had such a precious experience——of course, if she comes to "Tomorrow's Ark" As part of the journey, this lonely journey has lasted for a year.

Although the time is short, it must be okay to enjoy the style of Victoria a little bit.

Xia Wan dragged a slightly bloated suitcase, which was full of clothes and props she bought along the way before she came to Xiaoqiu County——important props, she needed a non-Rhodes Island operator, which was easier to use Accepted identities for which these props exist.

First, the map.

As a tourist, it is difficult to move without a map.

She looked left and right in the station and walked towards a newsstand.

"Hello, please give me a sightseeing map, thank you."

A strange and mature language was woven out of her mouth, which made the owner of the newsstand, a male film boy wearing a newsboy hat, stare in surprise: "This...your Tara language is still Really skilled."

"Ah, is it?" Xia Wan smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm a linguist, and I'm dedicated to studying these languages ​​that are about to be buried, which makes you laugh."

"It sounds really nice that someone else is willing to study our language."

The owner of the newsstand smiled heartily, and handed Xia Wan a sightseeing map: "Then let me give you a gift, lady from a foreign country, at least I can still afford this thank you gift."

"No, how can this work? The purpose of my research is not to get these gifts."

Of course, Xia Wan declined the boss's kindness, lowered her head and took out a Longmen coin from her pocket to pay for the map, and then said: "However, I still want to thank you for your generosity, please can I write this paragraph in my Is it in the book? Maybe it will be published in Victoria in the future.”

"Haha, of course, I'm flattered to be able to write such a small person like me, ma'am...uh, how should I..."

"You can just call me Zhuhuo. Well, this is a pseudonym, because my real name is Yan Guo's name, and it may be a little difficult to pronounce."

The owner of the newsstand showed a comprehensible expression, lowered his voice and asked, "I see, Ms. Candlelight, did you come to Xiaoqiu County to study the Tara language? Or simply for sightseeing?"

"Let's do research while sightseeing. I will live here for a while. Before coming here, I have traveled through several city-states in Victoria. In order to understand the current life of the Tara people, and to satisfy my personal preferences .”

As Xia Wan said, she blinked her eyes and pretended to be thinking. After a while, she suddenly bent down and opened her suitcase, and took out a book that had obviously been read many times but was still A well-preserved book—an anthology of poems.

"By the way, boss, may I ask the author of this collection of poems, does Mr. Seamus Williams live in Hill County? I've always wanted to see him."

The boss glanced at the collection of poems, and confirmed from its frequency of use and proper preservation that Xia Wan was indeed a pure researcher, or a fan of Seamus Williams. The only remaining vigilance in his heart gradually disappeared, revealing He replied with a kind smile: "Mr. Seamus, come on, let me mark it on the map for you, but he rarely receives guests, and may need to visit many times."

"It doesn't matter, I will go no matter how many times, thank you again... Ah, as a thank you, please give me a copy of the latest newspaper."

Therefore, Xia Wan spent another copy of Xiaoqiu County Evening News to get closer to the owner of the newsstand. Then she hesitated, leaned over the small window of the newsstand, and looked up at the newspaper stand owner. The boss who was several heads taller asked in a low voice: "Well, although I know it's not a good question to ask, but, boss, can you tell me where most of the Tara people in Xiaoqiu County live? I want to live too. There, after all, to understand Tara life, one must live with them."

The Tara people have a strong sense of grouping, and their xenophobia is even worse. It is difficult to get special information such as gathering places from them.

Although Xia Wan already knew the answer to this question, and even if she didn't ask the Tara people, she could just find a resident of Xiaoqiu County on the side of the road to ask, but she still chose to do this to confirm whether her disguise was obtained. Enough results—after all, she intends to win the trust of most of the Tara people living in Xiaoqiu County in the next ten days.

"Uh......"

The boss looked at Xia Wan who seemed a little embarrassed, and looked at her with embarrassment.

But this is not because Xia Wan's camouflage effect is not good, but another reason.

"It's fine to tell you the gathering place, but, Ms. Candlelight, you...you seem to come from an extraordinary background, do you really want to live in that kind of place?"

"Born out of the ordinary?"

Xia Wan froze for a moment, then frowned slightly and looked down at herself.

To be precise, it was her own attire, a Victorian-style beige high-necked long dress. Although she deliberately chose a very simple style, it did belong to the category of high-end clothing in terms of the texture of the material and the weaving pattern. The price was also very high, and there was a white tulle shawl and a small top hat with a little veil that was similar to the hair color, and even the backless high-heeled shoes on the feet were very valuable.

Indeed, when I bought this set of clothing, I planned to create the background of a woman from a wealthy family, although I didn't expect it to work at this time.

Therefore, Xia Wan chuckled and shook her head: "It's okay, Boss, I have already left the family a long time ago, and now I am an independent individual. I don't think there is any problem living with the Tara people."

Chapter 36 Playing the Wrong Person

In the end, Xia Wan not only learned the location of the Tara gathering place from the newsstand owner, but also got information about which Tara people were renting out houses.

With the meticulous assistance of the Black Box, her disguise worked as well as ever.

"Well, it's here, District [-]."

Dragging a bulky suitcase and stepping on unfamiliar high heels, Xia Wan walked through most of the small hills in many twists and turns, staring at his destination with some breathlessness. This Tara man can be seen everywhere, The [-]th District is full of poverty and dilapidation, and is incompatible with other districts.

Maybe it's because outsiders are very rare, whether it's passers-by or residents who stopped to talk on the street, they all cast curious and vigilant eyes on Xia Wan.

Unless they are lost, simple tourists will not come here on purpose.

But she didn't care about that, she was thinking about another problem.

The square I just walked by is at the entrance of District [-]. It is neither big nor small. There is a square with a statue of a figure. Rhode Island's office in Xiaoqiu County is near this square, and it is easy to meet here. Operator of Rhodes Island.

Although Xia Wan didn't know how Rhodes Island planned to deal with her sneaking away, it was clear that it was not in her plan to contact the Rhodes Island operatives here so early.

After all, there is still almost a month before Outcast arrives in Xiaoqiu County, so she can't stay here for too long. She decided to delete the rental houses around the square from the candidate list, and find a house in Ten A house deep in District Seven.

Just as Xia Wan was planning to continue to go deeper into District [-], a male filmmaker wearing a Victorian military uniform walked up to her. As soon as he saw her, he had a very blunt troublesome expression on his face, and he could even hear a piercing click of his tongue. , and then quickly walked over to stop her: "Is it a tourist? This is not a place for sightseeing. I suggest you go back the same way."

"Although it's a tourist."

Looking at this Victorian soldier, Xia Wan suddenly thought of a good idea, and immediately showed a bright smile and said, "Mr. soldier, there is a block of Tara people in front, right? Studying the Tara language, as a soldier who has lived with the Tara people for many years, what do you think of the Tara people and the Tara language?"

This time, what came out of Xia Wan's mouth was pure Victorian.

"What do you think?" The Victorian soldier snorted coldly: "It's just a bunch of scum, what can you say, get out of here quickly."

After saying that, he planned to leave directly, not planning to communicate with Xia Wan too much at all, but Xia Wan didn't intend to let him go, and chased after him in three or two steps: "It seems that you hate Tara people, I can ask Ask why? Ah, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have time now, this is my business card, I plan to live here temporarily, any time, as long as you are free, you can talk to me about it.”

"Nothing to talk about!"

The soldier didn't have a business card, and he didn't even look at Xia Wan, but Xia Wan walked up to the soldier and blocked his way: "Even if you don't want to say it, please accept the business card. If you want to talk someday, you can contact me, go to my place to find me, or I can find you, please accept it."

Although Xia Wan's appearance is perfect and her smile is very dazzling, it is obvious that this Victorian soldier just wants to leave this area full of Tara people at this time, and has not paid attention to her appearance at all, but treats her like this The pestering attitude was very annoying, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was pushed aside: "'Victoria swears'! I will tell you one last time, get out of here! Don't be ignorant!"

Caught off guard, or on purpose, Xia Wan fell to the ground without standing still under his push, with a slight pain coming out of his mouth, but the soldier didn't even look at it With one glance, she walked straight away.
