Mysteries: Arcana Wars

"But after this period of time, you submitted a letter of resignation to your team leader Mr. Pierce in the early morning. 'The world is so big, I want to see it.' Why did you say that?"

"...To be honest, I felt like I was going to die suddenly that night. This was the closest I've ever been to death. I felt like I couldn't go on like this, or I'd die in front of my computer sooner or later. There are still so many places in the North Continent that I haven't visited, as well as the South Continent...I'm not complaining about my boss. Boss Aiden treats me very well..."

"So did you see any strange people that night?"

"No, definitely not. I worked all night until 8am when the software went online. Apart from the police who came to handle the case, I didn't see anyone else."

……

"Based on what I heard, I believe that Klein Moretti has nothing to do with Aiden Norman F. Pierce and the loss of contact with Silver Gun and the loss of control of the tractor."

In fact, Scott also observed from the perspective of the mechanical cat how Klein behaved when he saw the wanted poster for "Field Moretti", and initially judged that he might not know this "Field Moretti" either.

"…But Mr. Scott, we Abraham…"

"Did you monitor Klein's speech on the other side?"

Interrupting Janina again.

"……No……"

"Since you think Speedy Feather has some intentions, why don't you control their communications?"

“…That’s because…”

"Because of technical reasons? Forget it! Do you Abrahams lack technology? I don't believe your nonsense about 'respecting personal privacy' and 'respecting communication laws'. You are an extraordinary organization, who are you trying to fool? It's just that you don't take the matter to heart and don't really want to deal with the subsequent mess."

"Besides, are you Abraham really 'protecting' it well?"

Scott scoffed and pulled out another stack of information.

This is a large stack of transaction records and chat records. All parties are anonymous, but deciphering these things is easy for the Mechanical Heart.

This was information that Janina had never seen or expected.

"Darken Abraham, codenamed 'Silver Gun'. Nominally he is a member of the Abraham family's secret Beyonder team, but in reality he has been engaged in murderous transactions on the black market dark web. The last order he took was to assassinate Klein Moretti, a programmer at the Speedy Feathers Company."

"In other words, Miss Janina, you don't even know that your home has been robbed!"

“…I don’t know…”

Janina picked up the file tremblingly, as the situation was rapidly moving beyond her control.

"...I...I'm just a business executive...I've never been in charge of the Beyonder forces...I'm not allowed to come into contact with the Beyonder forces of my family..."

"Where...where did all this come from?"

As soon as she said it, Janina realized that she had started talking nonsense.

"Where did it come from? Of course it's a trade secret!"

Scott is very good at using the opponent's tactics to annoy the opponent.

"Miss, the Internet is not a lawless place. Our church will always have a solution."

Having said that, Scott still felt a little sorry for this little girl. On the surface, she was a female executive with unlimited glory in the company, but in the eyes of the elders of the Abraham family who controlled the core power, she was just a human signboard they put up for the secular mortals to see, a very useful accounting maid, and the real power of the family would not let her touch it at all.

But these have nothing to do with Scott. The pain is Janina's. What does it have to do with an old man like me? Abraham did not believe in the god of steam and machinery, and he did not eat Abraham's rice. Scott was happy to have a hole in their rice bag. He had been unhappy with these high-ranking tycoons for a long time.

So he was happy to add fuel to the fire.

"Let me remind you again, Miss Janina."

"The version of [Rupert's Heart] of Hummingbird FS03 was updated at : a.m. on September , Loen time. At the same time, these tractors went out of control at : p.m. Loen time."

"Do you know what happened in Backlund at 3:00 p.m. on September 12, Loen time?"

Some information gathered in Janina's mind, like a bolt of lightning exploding in her world.

"I'm telling you, at this moment, Backlund's Harvest Church exploded!"

"The period when the tractor lost control completely coincided with the period when the explosion at the Harvest Church lasted!"

…the duration of “duration”…

There is no concept of "sustainability" in a normal explosion. It is nothing more than an explosion, a fire, and then various chain reactions, money losses, money spending, and endless chaos.

But in fact, the "explosion" of the Harvest Church only caused chaos for a short while, and soon the "explosion" was over. The ancient church was surrounded by high scaffolding and green opaque curtains by the Steam Church, and no one knew what happened inside. Under the heavy information blockade of the Heart of Steam and the Earth Church Hospital, even Janina's information network could not find out any useful details.

Was the church damaged or not? Was it being repaired? Janina had no idea.

Just watching the various videos on the Internet, the ancient church suddenly made a violent explosion, and the dazzling red light fell from the sky. However, before the dilapidated loud noise disappeared, the Steam Church and the Night Church responded quickly and raised the hazy curtain. When the Storm Church and the secular police department arrived far away from the scene, all the abnormal movements were strangled in the disturbing curtain.

She was very perceptive and had always had this suspicion, which was confirmed by Scott's words today.

"...You mean the explosion at the Harvest Church wasn't just an ordinary terrorist attack or a cult sacrifice, but...there was a truly powerful extraordinary force involved..."

"Oh, who knows?"

Scott curled his lips nonchalantly.

There is a leverage relationship with you!

Janina's legs went limp and she slumped into the chair.

"What do you want from us..."

Andrea, the person involved, looked away as if it had nothing to do with him, and kept silent. In Loen, the Earth Church had no right to participate in local extraordinary events. Even if the church exploded, the Steam Church could only help watch. He understood that he was just a background board in this meeting, a human recorder, and the quarrel between the Steam Church and the Abraham family was the focus.

In the sixth era when the power of the chaebols rose, the church, which represented the traditional extraordinary forces, had always been at odds with these extraordinary families who were disguised as secular chaebols.

The power of the church has been declining again and again, but the extraordinary family that had been living in seclusion behind the scenes has regained its strength under the guise of secularity and taken advantage of the favorable conditions of the times. Who wouldn't be angry?

What’s more, it would be fine if our church was bombed, but why did they even spare our tractors? Isn’t that a bit too much?

Come on, old man of the Steam Church!

"If I remember correctly, there are still two astronauts in your Abraham's [Outpost] space station."

Scott pointed upwards absentmindedly.

"Our request is that you Abraham need to send out your [Outpost] astronauts to thoroughly inspect your [Rupert's Web] satellite constellation."

"This is impossible!"

Janina slammed the table and stood up.

"You are... being unreasonable! All the supplies and energy in the space station are allocated according to the plan. The temporary increase in the action plan will directly affect the normal supply of the astronauts."

"Even if we force a temporary inspection, the resource consumption of such a search is unacceptable. Just transporting the materials needed by the astronauts through the spacecraft is a huge amount of money, not to mention the risks that the astronauts will encounter. Every astronaut of Abraham is paid with real money! Sacrificing one is a huge loss to the Abraham family! This kind of money can never be paid by selling these tractors!"

"Ms. Janina, I would like to remind you that our meeting is to resolve extraordinary events, not to conduct business negotiations."

Scott tapped the table impatiently.

"So we are giving you advice on how to clean up your mess, not bargaining with you!"

"Why, now that the gods you believe in can't give you protection, you come here to act like a postmodernist? I see, why don't you just believe in our god of steam and machinery? At least sprinkle some free oil on your servers and pray for them!"

“…You!” Janina didn’t have the courage to point at the other person’s nose, so she could only reach out and clench her fist over her chest, staring at Scott with a guilty conscience, “The lost god who lost his way will eventually return to the world!”

"Last time I saw a passing circus saying that they believed in the 'Lost God'? Shouldn't you believers have a unified name?" Scott said with disdain.

"What does what we are discussing now have to do with the name of the God we believe in!?"

Janina raised her voice even higher.

"You are taking advantage of the situation! The money we earn from inspecting the Rupert's Web satellite constellation is enough to buy hundreds of tractor orders!"

"At first I thought you were quite capable since you were able to become a regional manager at such a young age. But now it seems that you old guys actually sent a business genius like you who only knows how to make money to handle extraordinary events. Are they crazy or are you crazy?"

Scott became speechless.

"Low-sequence astronauts are expensive to use and are easily damaged. Why don't you just use high-sequence Beyonders? I remember that high-sequence apprentices can roam the starry sky. Checking a satellite network shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

“The High-Sequence Beyonders who can roam the starry sky are the backbone of our Abraham family. Our gods are unable to provide protection now. If these adults die in the starry sky, it will be a huge blow to our Abraham family! Besides…”

Janina suddenly shut up, realizing she had been talking too much.

Andrea was listening with great interest, and the sudden end left him a little stunned.

It turns out that the "Apprentice" sequence exists like this. Today I picked up new knowledge about the Abraham family!

"...Forget it. There's no point in trying to reason with a little girl like you. Your thinking has long been determined by these worldly commercial things..."

Scott smacked his lips, signaling to the two that he didn't want to waste any more words.

"Go back and report my words to those old elders of yours: If you don't check your satellite constellation carefully, you will be in big trouble in the future! Just say that Scott Cartwright of the Steam Church said it himself."

"Also, next time don't send someone who has absolutely no experience in handling extraordinary events to attend the meeting. It's just causing trouble!"

Scott packed up his things, stood up and left with a tough attitude, putting his things in a net bag and preparing to leave in a wheelchair. Janina quickly stepped forward and took Scott's wheelchair, saying that we can talk more.

As the two were struggling, a sweaty man, with the logo of Abraham Technology Group pinned on his suit, burst into the door of the conference room, panting.

"Something bad has happened, Director Janina!"

The visitor cried out in horror.

"The Council of Elders reported that all the astronauts on the Outpost Space Station... just died!"
