Skadi, returning to infinity

"Hopefully, this isn't the first or second time I've been betrayed."

"Even if there is absolute trust between the two parties, they should still be wary, otherwise, if problems arise, it will not be a good thing for either of them."

"The only people I can absolutely trust right now are Princess Theresa and Dr. Kal'tsit."

"These two are people I can entrust my life to; the others are merely collaborators for now."

Speak frankly about your thoughts and the people you currently trust.

Her frankness was almost a declaration that she didn't trust them.

"Haha, I like Miss Skadi's straightforwardness."

Skadi was chatting with Mr. Lei, while Mrs. Lei had finished talking with Lei Zi and learned about the current situation.

She was overjoyed that her daughter had returned safely and was filled with gratitude for Skadi.

"Thank you so much, Miss Skadi. If it weren't for you, we might never have seen her again..."

Mrs. Ray was very grateful to Skadi for curing her daughter.

If Lei Zi dies because of this, she will never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Madam, do you remember what Miss Lei ate or where she went before she fell ill?"

Lei Zi may not remember, but surely Madam Lei must have some memory?

"Lei Zi usually stays at the manor and the academy."

“We will take her to the college, and someone will pick her up when she comes back.”

"After she fell ill, we sent people to the college to confirm that there were no problems."

"As for other places, she hasn't been there recently."

"I've never eaten anything other than what I eat at home."

"Therefore, I cannot determine exactly what caused it."

Mrs. Lei thought about it for a while, but still couldn't determine what caused it.

Because of his age and status, Lei Zi's activities are restricted and protected.

Before the incident, there had been no deviation from their original plan.

So even though they were puzzled, they couldn't find any reason.

Is that so?

"Then we should ask her if she has encountered any accidents."

As a mother, Mrs. Lei provided more than enough information.

Skadi also felt that it had little to do with these places, and that the person she needed to ask to find the real answer was Rai.

Only when she regains her memory will she be able to know what really happened.

"Shouldn't Gu worms only exist when Gu is cast?"

"If he didn't go to some place he shouldn't have gone, then he must have been approached by someone and poisoned with some kind of curse."

"Check if any outsiders have visited the manor recently, and then eliminate any suspicious individuals to find out who it is."

The guard spoke up at this moment. He seemed to hold a high position in the Lei family and was able to chime in.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

"If it's a Gu worm, then someone must have planted one..."

Mrs. Lei suddenly realized what was going on, and an indescribable joy appeared on her face.

If we can find the person who cast the curse, and then follow the clues to find the organization behind that person, we'll never have to worry about encountering the same thing again.

The.

"This little guy isn't as fragile as he looks. If you put him in certain items and give him a specific medicine, he'll fall into a deep sleep."

go with. "

"This dormancy period can last from three to seven days to one or two years."

"During this period, it shows almost no signs of life; it will only wake up when it is touched or encounters a target."

"If the time comes and it hasn't been touched or reached its target, it will die and turn into a puddle of water."

"It's practically impossible to find the person who casts this Gu worm, which can be controlled remotely and even has its duration set."

Skadi shook her head. This information was obtained after she had just spent 1000 units of willpower to have Xiao Ai conduct a deeper analysis of the Ice Soul Gu Worm.

This kind of profound information is useful for every living being and every object, but the problem is that it requires willpower, and the higher the mystery of the object, the more expensive it becomes.

expensive.

Therefore, Skadi rarely uses Ai for analysis; she prefers to spend time collecting information herself.

However, Skadi herself had no information about the Ice Soul Gu Worm.

After listening to what Mrs. Lei said, Skadi thought for a moment and then used 1000 units of willpower to help Xiao Ai analyze the specific situation.

What she described were the hidden characteristics of the Ice Soul Gu Worm, and that's where the real trouble lies.

"According to Miss Skadi's analysis, even if Lei Zi regains her memories from the time before she fell ill, it will be difficult to find the person who used the Gu poison, right?"

Master Lei finally understood who was targeting Lei Zi.

"Yes."

"I don't have enough information about the Gu worms. The information I have is only because I just spent a great deal of money to obtain it from sources that require a high level of expertise."

It was only found in the permissions information database.

Skadi raised an eyebrow, the implication being, "I've gone to great lengths to do this; you'll have to deal with it yourselves."

"Is that so? But I didn't see Miss Skadi make any move..."

Mr. Lei was somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he thought Skadi was deceiving him, but rather he was curious about what method she used.

"this.

Skadi summons a virtual screen in front of her, then makes Xiao Ai's virtual image appear on the screen.

"It can be put away normally, but I can communicate with AI Xiao Ai using brainwaves."

"She will do anything that is possible."

"She just went to the highest information database of the Tower of Babel, found some of the information, and then combined it with a lot of intelligence before sending it to me."

"This took a lot of time and came at a great cost."

"However, it's a good thing to be able to obtain such important information."

Skadi is a master at making up lies.

Especially after she entered doctoral mode, her expressionless face and calm tone made it impossible not to believe her.

"These expenses will all be included in the medical costs and will then be directly deposited into Babel's account."

"I only hope that Miss Skadi can stay here for a couple more days to check on my daughter's condition."

"Also, if possible, please help check if there are any similar Gu worms around here."

“We are worried that the other side has already deployed a lot of Gu worms, and if we can’t find them, it will be a big threat to our future.”

Mr. Ray was a shrewd man. Although he was extremely interested in the latest technology Skadi had demonstrated, he also knew that now was not the time to talk about it.

Skadi's statement clearly indicates her needs.

Mr. Lei didn't find anything wrong with her request for compensation; on the contrary, he thought it was perfectly reasonable.

The other party was not a collaborator with them. The "Doctor," a figure of paramount importance to the entire Tower of Babel, traveled a great distance to the Great Yan.

Within the country, treating their daughter was already an immense act of kindness.

Now, the other party has not only cured their daughter, but also found the corresponding cause of her illness.

Even something like "Gu worms" has been brought up, which clearly means that they are facing a very serious threat.

In this situation, it would be necessary to pay a sufficient price to keep Skadi here and have her help resolve potential problems.

Even if there are no potential threats, it is still important to conduct a thorough investigation.

Paying money for peace of mind is the norm for large families like this.

I will stay here for two to three days.

"I'll help you check for similar items during this time."

"But even if we find them, you can't expect me to follow the clues and find the person who cast the curse."

"After all, this isn't my forte, unless I find a professional."

When Skadi thinks of professionals, she thinks of one of her summoned creatures.

Perhaps she could help?

She had this idea in mind, but she wasn't in a hurry.

Letting her out now might alert the enemy.

Moreover, relying solely on the Ice Soul Gu Worm might not be enough to find the other party.

First, look for any other Gu worms. Once Lei Zi's memory returns, see if there are any new clues.

If none of these work, then we can call her out again and see how it goes.

“It’s alright, we are already very grateful that Miss Skadi is willing to help.”

Mrs. Ray spoke up at this moment; she had been listening to Skadi and her husband's conversation the whole time.

After explaining Lei Zi's situation, she was also waiting for Skadi's response.

At this moment, she saw her husband and Skadi reach an agreement, and Skadi seemed willing to help them solve their current problems. As a member of the Rai family...

The lady of the house, of course, had to express her gratitude.

"This is just a collaboration; you don't need to go to such lengths."

After Skadi finished speaking, she nodded to Raiko and walked out of the room.
