Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Mernadette put down the work in her hands and quickly browsed the documents handed to her by Antilia.

Then her expression became a little disbelief.

"Are you sure..." she couldn't help but ask.

"If there is no supernatural power that modified the memories of those people, the above content should be true." Antilia said seriously.

"But...I don't believe Sister Anna would do such a thing."

"She wouldn't, and doesn't have the ability to, do such a thing."

Anna has been Mernadette's personal maid for a long time and is also Mernadette's friend.

In the former Rocks Manor, Anna was the most unique one.

While other servants only considered themselves as slaves, Anna was the only one who considered her work at Rocks Manor as just a job.

Therefore, after Mernade established the mutual aid society, although she did not join immediately, she was one of the earliest members.

Maybe Mernadette's relationship with her is not as close as Sif and Theresa, but Anna also occupies a huge position in her heart.

Mernadette understood her.

With her carefree and heartless personality, she would never do such a thing. Even if she wanted to do it, she didn't have the ability to do it.

"I also think this is a bit impossible."

"But after investigation, she was the only one who appeared next to those who had the idea of ​​splitting up the mutual aid group."

“Her figure appears around almost everyone when they have similar thoughts.”

"Many people even came up with similar ideas after chatting with her."

Mernadette closed her eyes and thought for a long time.

"Bring her here first. I want to ask her something."

Antilia nodded calmly without changing her expression.

"While I'm questioning her, find a place for her to stay in the security department's accommodation." After a long time, Mernadé said again.

Although she didn't think Anna would do such a thing, as a leader, the most taboo thing was to act on emotion.

She was willing to believe the other party, but when it came to matters concerning the entire mutual aid association, it was not enough for her to just believe it.

She is responsible for the entire mutual aid association.

Therefore, even if there is a small possibility, she will temporarily let go of her feelings.

"Then I'll go and bring her here." Antilia stood up and prepared to leave.

Mernadette watched Antilia leave, then slowly turned her gaze to the table.

But this time, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't concentrate on dealing with the things on the table.

"Sister Anna..."

The scene of their first meeting emerged in her mind, as well as her care for herself in Rocks Manor and her ambitions that she had once told her.

"I believe you."

"But...even so, I hope you can forgive my choice until this matter is resolved."

For a moment, Mernadette lost interest.

In fact, there is no need to ask questions afterwards.

Regardless of whether Anna had anything to do with the incident, she would plead her innocence.

But at the same time, regardless of whether she was involved in the incident, Mernadé would choose to temporarily isolate her from others.

In the face of this conspiracy that could destroy the entire mutual aid association, as a leader she needs to nip all dangers in the bud.

Do this even if your actions will affect innocent people.

Soon, Anna appeared at the door of the office.

Just like before, she was still carefree and seemed unaware of her current situation.

"Mernadette, I heard from Antilia that you have something to talk to me about?" Anna asked curiously as she sat opposite Mernadette.

Mernadette nodded and said, "I have something to ask you."

Anna leaned forward to take a look at the document that Melnadette was holding under her arm, then asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"Nothing serious, I just wanted to ask how your life here has been lately."

"Have you encountered any trouble or anything unpleasant?" Mernadette asked with a forced smile.

"Of course not."

"Although there are no opera houses or other places open here right now, and I can't realize my dream of becoming a big star, I haven't neglected to exercise and live a fulfilling life every day. After all, you said that sooner or later, those facilities here will be open for us to use."

"As long as I keep working hard, I will realize my dream sooner or later."

"I'm so happy with this kind of life, how can I be unhappy?" Anna said to Mernadette excitedly.

When Mernadette first met Anna, she told Mernadette and Charles about her dream.

A simple but unattainable dream, especially for her.

"I tell you, I've been very happy lately."

"Every time I tell others about how long I've known you, after they found out I was once your personal maid, I get a lot of sighs and envious looks."

"Although I haven't really become a big star yet, I feel like I'm not that far off from being one now."

Anna happily told Melnadette what she had done recently.

Mernadette did not interrupt her but just listened attentively.

When Anna felt a little thirsty and was drinking tea from her cup, Melnadette slowly spoke, "Sister Anna, I have something I want to ask you to do."

"What's the matter? Leave it to me as long as I can do it." Anna said, patting her chest.

"Sister Antilia has run into some trouble and may need your help. So I want to temporarily terminate your work as publicity officer and ask you to help her deal with some other matters."

Anna's originally excited expression quickly withered.

She looked at Mernadette awkwardly, wanting to refuse. After all, she loved talking about her past and getting envious looks. Her current job often earned her that kind of attention.

However, when she met Mernadette's gaze, she nodded with a sad face.

"Since it is your entrustment, Mernade, I will definitely do my best to complete it."

Then Mernadette pressed the bell on the table, and Antilia came in and took Anna to the place she had arranged.

Until everything is clear, Anna is no longer suitable to meet too many people.

In the end, she didn't do what she should have done.

Compared to a true leader, she still has a long way to go.

Chapter 426: Diana's Little Thoughts, the Future Sif Sees

When Anna was confined to one area, the class struggles over seniority in Fort Nassen came to an abrupt end.

It seemed as if all this was caused by Anna's outspokenness.

In the office, Mernadette kept looking through the documents she had handled recently, and took time every day to ask others about some normal or extraordinary things that happened in Nassenburg.

Although the matter seems to have been resolved this time, Mernadette is not so naive.

Anna was not the culprit.

This conclusion was not reached because Mernadè believed her.

It's also because she herself doesn't have the ability to do such a thing.

Although this statement is a bit hurtful, given Anna's personality and abilities, there is absolutely no way she would do such a thing.

After all, Mernadette believed that she might make a mistake, but Charles, Sif, Perozzi, Theresa and others would not all make the same mistake as she did.

There must be a real culprit in Nason Castle now. His plan will definitely not end with a splash like before. There must be some deeper conspiracy waiting for him.

She wanted to find the other person, but no matter how many times she looked through the latest information about Nason Castle and the information about the members who joined here in the past year, Mernadette could not find any clues.

As if her guess was wrong and did not exist.

"Sister Sif, is there no trace?" After leaving the office, Mernadé found Sif.

Sif shook her head at her words. "It's not just me. When I received your commission, I even called her out, but I didn't get any useful information."

"But you're thinking in the right direction."

“For some things, the biggest flaw is the lack of a flaw.”

Diana, the goddess of night, personally performed divination, but she only got the revelation that Anna was innocent and that everything that happened before was a coincidence and no one intervened. This situation seemed false no matter how you looked at it.

"She told me there are two possibilities for the current situation."

"One possibility is that an enemy used terrifying power to twist the souls of some people, silently changing their minds and causing them to abandon their beliefs and take certain things for granted, thus triggering this chaos."

"Another possibility is that the terrifying enemy sent his own men to infiltrate here. Because the men possess the enemy's abilities, her divination is ineffective."

"It's just that she doesn't want to talk about more things."

Facing the threat of the One Creator, knowing more would not bring them peace of mind. This was Diana's thought.

After all, they don't have the ability to fight him at this time.

In Diana's opinion, instead of thinking about how to defeat the invincible enemy, they might as well do what they like happily.

If the power of the sole creator becomes restless again at this time, she will seize the opportunity to temporarily resolve the other party's invasion.

To be honest, Diana was a little curious about the power of the only creator who appeared in Fort Nason.

In the past, the only creator of the dark side had done many things that crossed her bottom line.

But no matter what the sole creator of the dark side did, his activities were largely confined to that afterlife.

Apart from his initial modifications to the souls of life, he hardly ever interfered in the affairs of the world of the living.

This time, he suddenly took advantage of some loopholes and used his power in the world of the living, or sent the people around him here.

Diana was a little curious about why he did this, but she also tried her best to prepare herself.

Although it's a bit excessive.

But now Diana regards herself, Mernade and the Mutual Aid Association as bait, quietly waiting for the One Creator to show his true colors.

As to whether the power existing here was a trap set to attract her, Diana thought the probability was very small.

After all, it is difficult for the other person to do something similar given his personality.

The world of the living should be very special to him, so even if he wants to assimilate this place into an existence similar to the afterlife, he will not use any tactics, but will directly win by force.

It was like the dispute that arose when they first entered the afterlife and wanted to persuade each other.

In that battle, he had many better ways to easily deal with them.

After all, the righteous gods have great flaws in their characters, but the only creator did not do that, or he disdained to do so.

In the world of the dead, he can do anything without any bottom line.

But in the world of the living or facing the lives in the world of the living, although he did not become the only creator in their impression, he seemed to have concerns about many things.

Here, compared to using strategies, he prefers to defeat the opponent openly.

It is precisely because of this that the five gods have the opportunity to restrain each other with their lives.

"It should be related to the danger that my brother mentioned to us before." After thinking for a moment, Mernade said to Sif.

"Should we notify Rocks?" Sif asked nervously, holding her chin.

Although she is able to unleash power that surpasses Charles in terms of strength, she is still just an ordinary person in terms of character.

When encountering danger, I always want to rely on the people I have always relied on.

"Let's not do that. My brother has his own things to do."

"Sister Sif, can you do me a favor?" Mernadette asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I will try my best to do whatever I can." Sif said with a smile on her face, "But I want to hold you in my arms when I sleep at night."
