Oracle of Terra

- into the night

Even at night, Kiesta was still brightly lit. Many people couldn't sleep because of the excitement of tomorrow's music festival. As for the three of them walking together under the neon lights, they seemed a bit inconspicuous.

"Okay, miss, you will help us watch the wind at the door, and I will leave this place to me and this lady from Penguin Logistics."

"I understand. Cronin will not be back tonight because of matters related to the music festival. Come on."

After Ceylon finished speaking, Hei and Dark Cable entered Cronin's private house neatly.

"You're skilled, Miss Hei."

An Suo watched Hei Na's silent movement on the ground, and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. This is not what a security captain should have. This man has definitely killed people!

"Well, although the security system used by Cronin is an old model, it is linked with the patrol robot in the courtyard. Are you okay?"

"No problem, I can open the door and shake around in the middle of the night in the big prison of the Guard Bureau. With this level of defense system, sprinkle water."

"........."

Hei always felt that it sounded strange and unreliable, but she specialized in techniques. After all, she was good at assassination, and she usually opened the door violently and then dealt with the enemy as quickly as possible.

"OK, it's done. The system is down. From now on, this place will be like the back garden. It's no problem to call the young lady outside to come in together."

"I see, miss, the security system has been paralyzed, you can come in."

After Hei used a communicator to contact Ceylon, who was outside, and entered the mansion, the three came to Cronin's study.

Ceylon hacked Cronin's computer with the help of the dark cable, and began to look through the records in it, while Black stared at the safe hidden in the dark cell of the room.

"Oh, this is still an old-fashioned safe with a purely mechanical structure... It will take at least half an hour to unlock it."

Ansuo patted the safe and curled his lips. Although this kind of old-fashioned mechanical safe is very safe, it will be very troublesome if you forget the password of the safe.

But Hei kept a calm face, and took out a small device from his carry-on bag.

"Damn it, hydraulic unlocker?"

"No, it's a hydraulic cutter."

"Forehead..."

Isn't that more dangerous? !

In the eyes of Ansuo, Hei suddenly became a dangerous person who killed people without blinking an eye. This kind of thing is only used when breaking down a door violently.

"It's not possible, anyway, that person won't come back tonight, so it's best not to leave any evidence?"

"If what the eldest lady said is true, then he won't need all the things here."

Hei's cold words made Ansuo tremble.

I'm afraid this lady bodyguard is not the kind who can do anything for this young lady, no, I'm a little tempted.

The safe was cut open by Heiqing, and Ansuo could tell that she did such things a lot.

"Uh... Origin Stone Ingot and... data?"

"Miss, please come here."

After hearing this, Ceylon came over. There were not many useful things in Cronin's computer. Most of them were photos and expense records of some sponsors of Zista, although there were also many larger expenses. However, it is impossible to rely on these to prove that he has evil intentions.

"these are?"

"What Cronin hid in the safe, high-purity origin stone ingots and Colombian currency, converted to about 1000 million cash, and this, it should be the ledger."

"........"

Ceylon swallowed. Although it was her first time to sneak into other people's homes to destroy and steal things, this young lady really found it quite exciting. Now, she will be close to the truth of some things.

After looking through the ledger, Ceylon recalled the names of sponsors and photos of some partners that he had seen on the computer not long ago.

"This... Cronin is secretly transferring part of Kiesta's income?!"

"how many?"

There was already a chill in Hei's eyes.

"About... about 10% of Kista's overall income in recent years. I have also seen the income and expenditure in these accounts. Black, is there any more?"

"Well... and these."

Hei was a little hesitant, but he still gave some information to her eldest lady.

"That's it! The observation data of the volcano, he really lied! This is exactly the same as the data predicted by Ms. Eyjafala before! And this is... Wait? Mercenary contract? High-performance originium explosive storage clause, Colombia Cronin used the money he earned from Kiesta to hire foreign mercenaries and Colombian arms dealers to resell arms, but what are these bombs used for?"

"It's not a good thing after all, miss, with these, it's enough to put Cronin to death."

"But, but I don't want to kill him, I just want him to admit his mistake, and then solve the hidden danger of the volcano."

"Miss, what his accounts represent is not just about the so-called money issues. Master Herman has transformed into a philanthropist these years in order to promote the good brand image of the independent city of Kista. Keke Luo Ning's behavior is undoubtedly the effort to discredit the master in the past few years, if he is not afraid of the master finding out, there is only one possibility."

A murderous intent flashed in Hei's eyes.

"Cronin wants to harm my father."

"Yes, miss, but this matter is still up to the master to decide. You will go to deal with the matter about the volcano with everyone in Rhodes Island. I will report this matter to the master."

"black?"

Ceylon noticed that something was wrong with her 'sister'.

"Let me tell you two, let's go together. Anyway, Mayor Herman should still be in the mansion. Brother Arte will take care of the volcano. I think it's okay for the time being."

"........."

Hei's silence made Ansuo a little scared. I'm afraid the lady bodyguard wanted to get rid of Cronin's skin cramps and hurry up.

She decided to stuff two more Origin Stone ingots into her pocket to relieve the pressure.

"Indeed, the most important thing is to give these to father."

"Miss, let me go, after all, the master will reprimand you for sneaking into the Cronin mansion."

"No, even if it's a reprimand, I have to hand these over to my father, and I can't let him have any more illusions about Cronin."

"I understand."

"Hei, you come with me."

Maybe it was subconsciously aware of something, Ceylon felt that he couldn't let Hei at this moment leave him.

"Then me? I went back to the hotel?"

Ansuo felt that it was dangerous to continue to follow the master and servant.

"Excuse me, Miss Ansuo, I will personally thank you and Penguin Logistics on behalf of Xista someday."

"It's nothing, I actually made a lot of money tonight, hahahahaha...."

So the three parted ways outside Cronin's manor, and Hei and Ceylon also returned to the mansion. Mayor Herman sat on the sofa and browsed the street view taken by the aerial drone of Kiesta today.

"Father."

"Oh, there is still black in Ceylon, where did you go? You came back so late, could it be that you found a man you like among the tourists?"

"Father, please take a look at these."

Ceylon put the stack of documents and ledgers on the table in front of Herman.

"? You don't want Dad to deal with the work at night, do you?"

"No, it's about the observation data of volcanic activity, and the fact that Cronin communicated with Colombian arms dealers to use Kiesta's funds to resell arms."

"........."

The originally benevolent middle-aged man was a little silent at the moment.

"master?"

Hei seems to have noticed something.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to dig out this matter, but it was beyond my expectation. You have grown up, Ceylon."

"what?"

Listening to his father's answer, Ceylon seemed to realize something.

"You always know what Cronin is doing?"

"No, it's not that comprehensive."

Herman flipped through the books and documents on the table, frowning every time he turned a page.

"At the beginning, he just wanted to make some money. After all, before he and I broke up, he kept his mouth shut for money. I thought he was just against me spending money for infected people, but... bomb, I just received a call from Rhodes Island not long ago, saying that the crisis of the volcano was resolved, but some suspicious mercenaries were caught nearby, as well as high-performance Originium explosives planted in the cave of the volcano.”

"Wait...you mean?"

Ceylon's expression was a little pale.

"Even if the volcano doesn't erupt, Cronin will find a way to make it erupt. After all, he has devoted himself to studying for the volcano. It's just that this skill is used in this area, which makes me feel a little chilled."

Herman sighed long, and threw the books and documents on the table, looking a little haggard.

"He originally intended to prevent the volcano from causing disasters to Kista, but now it seems that his original intention has subtly changed over the years."

Hermann rubbed his temples.

The mayor took Cronin from a young age and brought him up. He used disgraceful means to get Xista, but he wanted to make this city better from now on, but Cronin It seems that it is still stuck in the past, the era when swords and swords are either you die or I live, and every penny of money is clearly in and out.

The middle-aged man didn't know whether he was disappointed, angry, or in pain.

"black."

"I am here, sir."

"Bring in and arrest Cronin, and then ask the people from Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics to do a little favor to drive those foreign mercenaries out of Kiesta, and let Cronin follow them."

"Are you going to let Cronin go?"

Hei was a little surprised, but Herman shook his head.

"You don't have to think too much, there's no need to get your hands dirty for a Cronin, go ahead."

"I understand."

Although she was indignant, Hei did not intend to overstep, even though what Cronin did did make her feel like killing her sooner.

"Father, you just said to let Hei's hands get dirty again?"

"........"

The bodyguard lady who originally planned to act was a little silent, but she still chose to leave. The master decided to confess to the lady, which was also the master's choice. If she was alienated by the lady, it was only because she was a dirty killer.

And it all started with Cronin.

The killing intent contained in the golden eyes burst out, but she finally suppressed it.

Leave him alive and let him get out of Kiesta.

This is what the master meant.

But at the moment in the mayor's mansion, the air was a little silent.

"Father?"

"Oh... I thought tonight would be a good day, and tomorrow is the music festival, but I still have to face this day, Ceylon, I promised your mother that I would let you grow up strong, without involving some of these things. The dark side of the city."

"Father, there is darkness under the brilliance of Victoria. I actually understand some things."

"Really, it seems that I, as a father, don't understand you a little bit. You are as strong and beautiful as your mother. If I can, I want to protect you all the time, and Hei."

"Those things my father said..."

"I'll tell you about my affairs, but about Hei's affairs, you have to listen to her. If she doesn't want to, don't force her."

"I know, she treated me like a sister since childhood, and I know that Hei is a gentle person."

Herman told his daughter who had grown up, about the not-so-glamorous history of Kiesta, his iron fist, and the role played by Black.

After hearing everything, Ceylon nodded slightly. She didn't blame, but just nodded and chose to agree. She understood that everything her father did was for the family. As a daughter, she had no qualifications to take responsibility for him, nor did she have any responsibility for him. Necessary, that is the evil that used to be under the skin of today's light, and she and her family have to carry these forward.

As for Hei on the other side, this cold-faced female killer is standing at the gate of Kiesta's weather monitoring center at this moment, and behind her is the security force she has cultivated.

- the next day

As the sun rises in Xista, Telles also solved the troubles in the volcanic cave with Tianhuo and Provence, and returned to the city. His floral shirt and Provence pants were all used by Tianhuo. Fortunately, ours In order to experience Zista, Miss Big Tail put on a swimsuit early on under her coat, and the only thing that attracted attention was the strange matching sky fire.

"Huh? Mr. Telles, isn't that Miss Hei?"
