Oracle of Terra

"Then what are you doing here?"

Sidro was a little impatient.

"Come and see you, or do you say you are not happy?"

"........."

Seedro's cold expression seemed to be the answer, and Muirseth shook his head.

"It's not cute. Anyway, since I'm a colleague, I'll ask you to borrow some people if necessary. Don't you mind?"

"Whatever you want, just leave me alone."

Sidro doesn't have much interest in the various actions of the Rhine Life Laboratory itself. He just wants to go back to his mansion and his lover to vent his depression of encountering Muir Seth, the god of plague.

"A hug?"

"roll."

Muirseth was driven out of the car by Sidro. The director of the Rheinland Life and Ecology Department sighed and wanted to reprimand Sidro for being so unfriendly to his colleagues, but he thought that this person was the successor After that, Leiya's powerful faction in Rhine Life gave up this plan.

"It doesn't matter if I send it off a little bit, but I still have to find a way to get in touch with that child Ifrit. I really don't know why the higher-ups are so interested in her and don't tell me the details. It's really annoying... But Dosores should have something delicious, right?"

After thinking about it, there is a high probability that it is impossible to successfully bring Ifrit back anyway. Now, Muirseth feels that he should treat this operation as a public trip to understand the situation.

As for this moment, she didn't notice at all that the red-eyed black crow parked on the street lamp was looking at her meaningfully up and down.

315. Evil Spirit

"Mulseth, female researcher from Rhine Life, it's a pity that no operator from Rhine Life came with me on this vacation, otherwise I could still get some information."

Pushed out of sync, Telles ended his own Bayek behavior, even though he wasn't an assassin either, and the one synced was a crow.

"You intend to target her?"

"Basically, from the results of the follow-up, she chose to travel between Kandy and Dosores by bus in order to get in touch with Ifrit. Considering that the child was followed by Shirtle, I don't think she can She succeeded, but she is undoubtedly a good choice, Rhine Life's defense director, Cidro, if there is anyone who can approach him at will, this Miss Muirseth is the best choice."

Telles already has a plan in his mind, as long as he can control the man Sidro in his palm, then all subsequent actions will go much smoother, and Rhine's life has always been his confidant's serious trouble, so he will take the opportunity to bring the two together. The director of each department is in his hands, which will also be of great help in the future.

"It seems that you have a countermeasure."

"Keep an eye on this woman, Raven, and report to me as soon as she enters Dosoles. Her identity is an excellent cover, and getting her is the best choice."

"Your statement seems to me to mean something else."

Raven's bird head stared at Telles, who raised his eyebrows.

"Then I'll take the opportunity to taste it?"

"Don't you pay attention to what you want and what I want?"

"I have never been soft on my enemies."

"You are very tough in this regard."

However, considering the issue of Rhine's life itself, Raven didn't want to make irresponsible remarks on Telles' behavior, but in the end, as long as that Miss Muirseth is not a heinous person, then His Majesty will not be too embarrassing for the other party. .

"Then it's not too late. I'll make some preparations and give this researcher from Rhine Life an amazing experience."

There was a smirk on Telles's face, and then his figure withered and withered, turning into a kind-hearted old man.

And Raven probably understood that this man wanted to use Muirseth to do something.

- a few days later

"Oh, the long-distance bus is really boring, because the grand prix is ​​over, and there are not many passengers, I thought I could pass some time on the road. I knew it would be better to borrow someone from Little Sidro and come here again. The mercenaries should There will be a lot of interesting news to hear, but there is no one else on the bus except the driver, just to find out about the unusual results of this grand prix, it is really distressing, huh?"

After registering at the entrance of the city, the researcher from Rhine Life walked along the street, but soon, she saw a child talking and laughing with a red-haired Sarkaz woman.

"Ifrit? No way, am I so lucky?"

The sun is hot above the head, and the streets and alleys in this city are not too hot because of the high humidity, and Muirseth's coat is a high-tech thermal insulation suit from Rhein-Life. Generally speaking, the feeling is not bad.

"Although luck is good, luck is good, but in terms of probability, this may also be a conspiracy, right?"

Muirseth's divergent thinking prevented her from stepping forward quickly, thinking of contacting Ifrit. She just kept a distance and followed the two people, observing the red-haired Sarkaz woman.

"Ifrit is so close to people other than Seria and Hemer... No, the point is that the information is correct, her complication was suppressed, at least from the experimental records, this child was born after that It wouldn't be strange to die, let alone walking and playing with others outside like this now, and more people should be monitored to keep observation records every two days. It's interesting, even if the superiors don't want her Bringing her back, I kind of want to find a place to study her in private."

After following for some distance, Muirseth noticed something at once.

After walking for so long, those two people had no intention of going anywhere, nor did they feel like they wanted to go somewhere. They just stopped and stopped, as if they were ordinary tourists buying some snacks. They were not so much guards as they were. Like sisters, of course, the child raised by Rhine Life as an experimental animal has no family members, Sarkaz orphans are easy to find, just look for them, they are everywhere in the garbage dumps of the slums, basically In big cities, after the infected, the Sarkaz are the second most hated people.

However, a city like Dosores has no taboos in this regard, let alone in such a city, who can be very clear that the horns are Sarkaz and not other races.

In addition, Dosoles does not prohibit the entry of infected people at all. As long as you have money, even a dying infected person can have fun here, as long as the shops are willing to accept it.

So two people who are infected and Sarkaz travel together... There should be no problem in Dossoles.

"I always feel like I've stepped into some kind of trap. Is it my illusion?"

"It's not an illusion, little girl."

"So it's not an illusion, grandpa, so how long have you been with me?"

Muirseth turned her head, and standing behind her was a haggard old man with wrinkled skin and very thin body, but Muirseth had a special pressure on his sharp eyes and straight body. It was like facing the boss of Rhine Life.

An old Sarkaz....

She still remembered who had heard similar words, the longer a Sarkaz lived, the more terrifying it would be, and how terrifying would a wrinkled old Sarkaz be?

Muirseth recalled the research data on the Sarkaz people and some collected intelligence, and she didn't want to think about it anymore.

"You look scared."

"Someone told me that even if you make the old man angry, don't make old Sarkaz angry, otherwise you won't know how you died."

"Oh, the person who told you this must have experienced a lot, and he was able to survive an old Sarkaz man, but you don't seem to be safe. It's not good to be too confident in your spells. Manipulating water So, how much water can I have in this shriveled body for you?"

Listening to the old man's words, Muirseth's expression froze because she felt a little unbelievable.

"Are you still human? Grandpa?"

This old man didn't have a single drop of water in his body, how did he stand in front of him.

"Hehe, you're just a scumbag. You have studied the mysteries of our Sarkaz people, and it seems that you haven't researched anything. It is easy to manipulate the body itself from outside the body. Of course, it may be a little difficult for young people. point."

The old man's frivolous and thin palm rested on Muirseth's shoulder, but she still didn't dare to move casually. Manipulating the Originium skill of water is a skill she is proud of, and she can do it safely. As the prerequisite for the director of the ecology department, water is the mother of all things, and Muir Seth, who can precisely manipulate water, can successfully complete some experiments that ordinary people cannot complete by her own hands, but now, one of her ecological experiments Encountered a problem, the old man has no water in his body, but there is a lot of water in the surrounding canals that can be manipulated, but he is so close to her, Muirseth just feels helpless, maybe she should be a little stupid Solution?

"Don't think about damaging your body, little girl, wouldn't it be a pity not to let others love you with such tender skin?"

"Grandpa, you don't seem to have the ability to do this, do you?"

When Muirseth found out that the other party had seen through his means of manipulating his own blood, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. To be honest, he could only maintain a smile because of his nature. What kind of monster is this old man?

"Is the old man related to Ifrit and that red-haired Miss Sarkaz?"

The two drifted away, and Muirseth had lost sight of them from the crowd because of the strange old man behind him.

It's hard not to guess at the relationship between them and the old man.

"Those two children are children I take good care of. For those of you researchers who want to pry into ancient mysteries and some dangerous things, I honestly don't like them very much. Exploring science and the unknown itself is an act that can be advocated, but it loses humanity. But it's not good."

"The old man is here to teach?"

Muirseth heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from his tone, the Sarkaz old man didn't seem like a vicious person, but...after all, he was a Sarkaz, and he was an old man.

"Are you relieved?"

And it seemed as if he could see through her heart.

"Almost, so I just leave like this, can you let me go?"

"Ha ha."

The old man's answer was self-evident, and Muirseth also knew that he was slaughtered. Although he didn't know if the old man would ruin him, he could only accept his fate.

"Okay, okay, grandpa, I hope you will take pity on... eh?"

Muirseth's eyes widened, for just as she was about to turn her head and surrender, the old man had disappeared from behind her.

"Huh? What kind of nightmare is this? Grandpa?"

Muleseth looked around, but the old man was nowhere to be seen.

"Could it be that you let me go?"

With some lingering fear in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, and Muirseth swallowed, feeling his drenched back.

"Forget it, the idea of ​​contacting Ifrit doesn't seem to be successful. It's better to find a place to stay for one night and take a bath. Anyway, there are chances. I just don't know if that old man did anything to me. , but if he leaves like this, it means that everything is under his control, maybe if I keep in touch with him in good faith, I won't offend him, right?"

After thinking for a while, Muirsey looked around again, as if he wanted to hear the old man's voice for an answer, but this time, there were only passersby left.

"It's better to go to the hotel first."

Scratching her head, Muirseth turned her head and left, no longer looking for the figures of those two people, but what she didn't notice was that her shadow, the part of her head, split into a strange arc.

316. Evil spirit possessed

"But old man Sarkaz's hostility..."

After staying in a high-end hotel, Muirseth threw the shirts and underwear he bought on the bed, took off his coat, and thought about the old man who had just left him.

Maybe the old man is not too strong, but he just used his words and momentum to give her an illusion, or he was just delaying time, making her lose Ifrit and the red-haired Sarkaz woman. Through some escape spell transfer, maybe he didn't leave any means at all.

"Fortunately, I was so scared that I was sweating all over. I should have brought some strong people to protect me."

After taking off her wet clothes, Muirseth walked into the bathroom, but when she turned her head to look in the mirror, she froze.

In the mirror, a white-haired Sarkaz man looked at her with a smile. She was shocked and turned around in a cold sweat, but there was nothing there, only empty bathroom walls, tiles Her figure was reflected, and the man's smile could still be seen on the smooth surface of the tile.

"Curse?"

The white-haired Sarkaz man looks familiar. There is no doubt that he has some connection with the old man in the daytime, but now it seems that it is just a weird illusion, some kind of stimulation and illusion imposed on the mind?

"No, I'm a hallucination. To be more precise, I influence your brain to let you see the hallucinations, as if poisonous mushrooms can see things after eating too much, but I'm not a poisonous mushroom, so You don't have to worry about anything."

"There are also auditory hallucinations, but as far as auditory hallucinations are concerned, this is too real. I suddenly understand the reason why the group of people in the energy department want to explore the mysteries of Sarkaz."

Muirseth could roughly guess that the old man had imposed on her some secret techniques and profound meanings that she didn't understand at all. After all, Sarkaz's history can be traced back thousands of years, and some of their legends and myths have also been blurred. Incomplete, the history before the Originium Revolution, there are only many records in the ancient Sarkaz family, those "old antiques" obtained by the energy department, and even bought from some diggers of.

The mystery of the Sarkaz people is like the weapon manufacturing technology controlled by the Lateran people. Even if the Colombians want to reproduce that kind of precision craftsmanship, it is even more difficult.

Some even have requirements for the Sarkaz race, but now, what Muirseth has to consider is not the ancient history and the mystery of the Sarkaz, but how to save himself.

"Are you the old man during the day?"

"To be precise, it was a disguise for delay."

The Sarkaz man in the mirror approached her, and Muirseth seemed to be able to feel the breath and presence of this man, but she knew very well that it was an illusion given by the brain, which was equivalent to the so-called phantom limb pain.

"camouflage?"

Muirsey wanted to find out more information. After all, the situation can be resolved better with information. It seems that this man is the type who expresses a strong desire, and she doesn't mind asking him to say a few more words.

"You want to trick me."

"I'm all in your hands now, so it's not too much to say a few words, right? Grandpa?"

"Although I look like this, my age is indeed several times that of yours. Don't try to use such words to mock me."

"So, you are a blood demon?"

Muirseth heard that the Gorefiend has some magical spells to manipulate the human body, but she has never seen a Gorefiend who has mastered the mysterious magic. Sarkaz people, but a high-quality appearance can indeed win a better life and opportunities for Blood Demon. After all, this is still a society that depends on faces, and she quite likes that TV series, but the more it is filmed, the worse it is. bored.

"No, I'm not any Sarkaz race you know, and I don't know how to describe it to you, so you can just treat me as a Sarkaz."

"I can feel you are..."

"Avoid the topic?"

"Well?"

Muirseth was the first to say what she wanted to say, which made her have some bad guesses. The old man could guess her thoughts when she was on the street before. To be honest, this feeling is not very good. .

"Miss Muirseth, the director of the ecological department of Rheinland Life, was born in a wealthy class in Colombia. She has shown talent and talent in science and technology since she was young. She skipped a grade and entered a prestigious university in Colombia at the age of 14. After graduating in a year and a half, I didn't make many friends because of my weird personality. But in your opinion, adding friends is not very meaningful, but you really like the feeling of having friends. After three years, Published your own paper at the Columbia Science and Technology Exhibition, called "The Unknown Field of the Ecological Environment"? Oh, you are also interested in the ecological environment outside the mainland. There is a friend named Magellan in Rhine Life. Although he still maintains the experiment As a scientist, he is objective, but in essence he is still a researcher with a conscience and his own ideas, but in some respects, he is indeed out of touch with ordinary people and cannot be understood."

After listening to that voice constantly ringing in her mind and saying those things at the same time, Muirseth only felt a little tingling in the scalp and cold limbs, but soon, her body recovered, as if she didn't feel any discomfort.

"Okay, it's not good to scare yourself all the time. Let's take a bath and clean it up. We'll talk later."
