"This is... the source transmitter from Base 359? How come you... also, Dorothy..."

Ferdinand figured out the whole thing in an instant and looked at Hemer with a frown.

Then, he saw Hemer eat the source transmitter in front of everyone present.

"What are you doing?!!"

This suicidal act made Ferdinand panic and puzzled at the same time.

He couldn't figure out what Hemer was trying to do. Compared to Saria's order, Hemer's "moody mood" was obviously much more difficult to deal with.

"Even if you get the transmitter into her body, it won't have any effect! Dorothy's 'center' is destroyed!"

"But the new hub is in Kristen's hands."

Trying to calm the discomfort in his body, Hemer said with a smile.

"That's impossible! That was my experiment! Dorothy and I..."

"Not long ago, I met Director Parvez, who has a large supply of transmitters stored in his lab."

Taking a deep breath, Hemer looked at Ferdinand who had suddenly fallen silent, and then said: "Director Clooney, you actually guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?"

"You just don't want to admit it. You'd rather believe your failure was a result of a single wrong move than to believe that you were manipulated by the Commander-in-Chief from the beginning to the end."

"Hasn't it occurred to you? She's the one working more closely with the military. She has countless ways to kill your and Dorothy's experiment in the cradle, but she only shows up after the experiment is successful?"

After saying this, Hemer fell silent and waited for Ferdinand's answer.

Ferdinand is certainly not a fool to have come this far, and he also understood Hemer's subtext clearly.

He had guessed it at the beginning, but the success in front of him clouded his mind and the desire for power paralyzed him.

Now that I think about it, they are all loopholes.

"It seems that I have no reason to refuse..."

With unwilling anger burning in his chest, Ferdinand waved his hand to disperse the soldiers who were surrounding him.

"We still have a chance, Director Clooney."

"Whatever Kristen wants to do with transmitter, she hasn't succeeded yet."

"Take me to her."

"The transmitter is in my body. It's special. It allows me to be a beacon for you to find Christen."

"You... have no choice."

.........

"Sure enough...I can't get through."

Helplessly putting down the phone, Saria looked at the Tin Man's number on the screen, and her guess had become a reality.

The Tin Man...something happened.

The Melander Foundation no longer cooperates with them at this point; instead, they join the hunt.

"Careya? Who are you calling?"

Outside the door, Ifrit quietly poked his head out.

"Tin Man."

Sighing, Saria did not choose to hide it.

"That tin man uncle? Did something happen to him?"

Ifrit asked worriedly, the image of the Tin Man appearing in his mind.

The Tin Man seemed to like these children very much. He spoke kindly and always had some candies appearing on his body, like a magic trick. He was also generous and left a good impression on Ifrit.

Now that he heard that something had happened to the Tin Man, Ifrit couldn't help but feel sorry for the uncle.

He's obviously a good person...

"I'm afraid so, otherwise the Melander Foundation wouldn't join in the hunt for us."

Nodding in affirmation, Saria rubbed her chin. "Did the military reach some kind of agreement with Melander? Why did they suddenly turn their guns on us? What happened to the Tin Man?"

All kinds of doubts surrounded Saria like a mystery, making her confused.

"He was torn down."

With a crash, a snakeskin bag suddenly fell in front of Saria.

"When did this happen?"

"Not long ago, about... four hours ago."

Walking out of the darkness, Talina looked at Ifrit and Saria who looked rather embarrassed.

"Where's Homer?"

Not finding the brown Liberi, Talina asked curiously.

"She... was left behind, and she was probably taken away."

"Is this so..."

Listening to Sereia's answer, Tallinna also thought of the scene she had just witnessed.

"Let's put that aside for now. How is it? Did you gain anything?"

After calming herself down, Saria stood up with the help of the wall.

"Are you okay? Never mind... there's no point in talking about this now."

Shaking her head, Talina kicked the "object" under her.

"Um..."

The strange groans and whimpers startled Saria and Ifrit.

The room was dark, and because she was injured, Saria didn't notice what was at Talina's feet in time, but it wasn't too late now.

"Is this... the agent from Melander?"

Bending down, in the dim firelight, Saria carefully looked at Holhaiya who was tied up like a dumpling, and recognized at a glance this agent who had appeared in their sight several times.

The current Horhaiya no longer has the arrogance she once had. She is tied up like a dumpling with hemp ropes, with no place on her body where she can exert force.

Several delicate locks restricted her movements, ensuring that she could not move.

He couldn't even construct the most basic Originium spell.

"Are you... a little cautious?"

When Saria saw Holhaiya's appearance clearly, the corners of her mouth twitched and she quickly stood up and covered Ifrit's eyes with her hands.

At the same time, he looked at Talina with a strange look.

"Sareya? What's wrong? Let me see!"

Ifrit, who had just taken a glance, immediately became interested and pulled at Saria's hand to see it more clearly.

But Saria held it tightly, and Ifrit tried to pry it open several times without success.

"Ahem...Don't worry about these details."

After an awkward cough, Tarina turned her head away.

This fat snake has such a great figure, it would be a shame not to do anything... ahem!

If you don't keep a close watch on it, big problems are likely to occur!

Besides, what this guy did to her before was much more excessive than what he did now. She was just retaliating slightly and had absolutely no intention of taking the opportunity to seek revenge!

She swears!

"Is it strong?"

Perhaps it was because Talina usually acted too serious, or perhaps it was because Saria was not very interested in such matters. After Talina's repeated assurances, she temporarily believed her good friend.

Just keep an eye on Ifrit, don't let her be led astray...

Quietly blocking Ifrit behind her, Saria looked at Talina curiously.

"Don't worry, my craftsmanship... ahem! The quality of the rope is absolutely up to standard."

Stepping over Holhaiya's body, Talina came to Saria's side.

"I caught more than just her, but this guy is useless. By the way, do you know Nasti?"

Seeing Saria looking over, Talina immediately asked about the other prisoner she had captured.

"Nasti? The head of the engineering department, what's going on? Is she involved too?"

Hearing this slightly familiar name, Saria frowned.

"Well, she's working with Hol Haiya, and she should be working for Christen as well."

"Where is she? Leave the interrogation to me."

With a roll of her sleeves, Saria picked up Holhaiya from the ground and took over the task of interrogation.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements for her."

Talina smiled mysteriously and looked at Holhaiya with a gloating look.

If she can't deal with this fat snake, can't she deal with a Sarkaz?

She knew a lot of Sarkaz, including two at the level of Lord of the Royal Court. If she talked about their relationship, she might even be able to have a conversation with the Master of the Banshee Royal Court.

It’s just training a mixed-race banshee, isn’t that a piece of cake?

"Okay, then I'll go pry her mouth open first."

Saria nodded, without asking any more questions, picked up Holhaiya and walked towards the other room.

"Well, I'll leave this to you."

Talina waved at Saria's back, and then waved to Ifrit on the side.

"What's wrong?" Curious Ifrit came forward.

"I'll leave this place to you for now. I need to go out for something and will be back tonight."

"You're going out again..."

Listening to Talina's words, Ifrit looked at Saria's room worriedly.

Talina could of course see Ifrit's worry. She immediately reached out and patted Ifrit on the head, then said with a smile, "I've arranged a few pairs of eyes outside. Safety can be guaranteed."

"When necessary, they will assist you and Saria in your actions, so..."

"I'll leave the rest to you guys~"

Volume 9: Chapter 82: Ignorance

The streetlights were dim and the breeze rustled the fallen leaves. Only at this moment did Tremont resemble a city.

The street was very quiet. Ferdinand was walking alone on the street, his hands in his pockets and a black plaid scarf around his neck.

The shape of the scarf is very casual, as if it was woven randomly. It is more like a piece of cloth torn at random than a scarf.

But Ferdinand cherished it very much. He tightened the scarf to block the air leaks.

This was a gift from his students, and the only gift he ever received.

It's ironic that in the eyes of outsiders, he, the director of the energy department, is in a very glorious position, has everything going for him, and is showing signs of replacing Christen.

He gave gifts to many people, but...

Only one person returned his gift.

Now, this person has also parted ways with him, and the conflicting ideas have caused the two masters and apprentices to break up.

Ferdinand clenched his fists tightly as he recalled what Hemer had just said.

Those guys...

"whispering sound..."

Spitting inwardly, Ferdinand stopped at the intersection.

The red light above his head was dazzlingly bright. Even though there were no people or cars, Ferdinand still stood there, waiting for the red light to end.
