[Comprehensive fear] Borrow your life

This time Will arranged the residence seems to be particularly hasty, as if he directly bought a house in an ordinary residential area.Alice walked into the community and was still a little uncomfortable when she opened the small door.

Surprisingly, neither Will nor Lillian were in there, only two Japanese women—by visual inspection, the ones in charge of Lilian and Alice’s daily life, and one man—who was in charge of bodyguards following Lilian today.

As soon as the bodyguard behind Alice entered the door, he handed over the book he had been carrying to one of the women, verifying Alice's idea.Alice was no longer restrained, and sat directly on the sofa in the living room, naturally took the hot tea handed over by another woman, and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

Then, she set her sights on Lilian's bodyguard: "Why are you the only one coming back, where is Lilian?"

"Mr. Will came to pick up the two of you before, but when you stopped, he took Master Lilian to visit the new company. I'm afraid neither of them will come back tonight. Please stay here for one night, and we will meet tomorrow." Arrange a new residence for you."

"New company?" Alice was stunned.

"Yes, it's the company that Mr. Will recently acquired." The bodyguard seemed to be giving Alice some kind of hint.

Alice understood right away: the only company Will has acquired recently is the Tokyo headquarters of the ruined Umbrella Company, which is eager to sell.Even if it is sold at a low price, only Will can buy it so decisively. I am afraid he is too embarrassed, at least he will not be able to make any big economic moves for a long time.Now, I'm afraid they are busy taking over the industry.

Bringing Lilian over...was it to let him know about his family's property in advance?This is too early, it seems that the plan to bring Lilian to Tokyo to have fun is impossible to realize!

Alice felt a little lonely suddenly.She knew the two bodyguards here, and the two women even served her.But she felt that she was the only one here, and she had nothing to say to these people.

She took a quick shower, flung herself on the bed alone, and played with her exclusive laptop computer in boredom.She didn't realize that she forgot to go to the Tokyo headquarters today until halfway through the news video she watched.

Let's go tomorrow.Alice suddenly lost the mood to read the news, and gently closed the web page.

Then I suddenly thought of something I missed today, opened layers of folders in a familiar place, and finally selected an Excel table named "Records".

Double-click to open it, and the screen is suddenly occupied by a dense table.Alice pulled the form to the bottom without looking at it, and recorded the latest data.

Time: today's date.

Venue: Signing point in Takakuizumi, Tokyo, Japan.

Character: Yue Shanxi

Fate: 1089

This form has been continuously updated by Alice since she got the computer.Every day, she would record the fates of people she cared about and knew, which was a habit.Occasionally this habit comes in handy.

Alice thought about it again, and added another line to Yue Shanxi's line of data this time.

Time: today's date.

Venue: Signing point in Takakuizumi, Tokyo, Japan.

Character: Unknown man in a blue hoodie

Fate: 2067

The fate of this unknown person is too astonishing. Even if she may never have any interaction with this person in the future, Alice has to write it down for this powerful fate.In retrospect, she felt a little regretful that she left in such a hurry that she didn't ask the other party's identity.

However, establishing a connection with Yue Shanxi is not bad.

Alice looked at the packaged set of Gao Yuquan's signature book, and somewhat relieved her regret.

Three days later, she will meet the person with a huge number of lives again, and she may take this opportunity to observe how this person has so many lives.

This is by no means normal.

Among the people she has observed so far, whether they are young people or children, the highest number of lives is only close to four hundred.This time, Yue Shanxi was already a young man, but he suddenly surpassed this record by twice, not to mention the man with more than 2000 lives.

Do the Japanese generally have more fatalities than the Americans?According to the observation of pedestrians today, it is obviously not, otherwise, the average life expectancy of the Japanese would be terrible.

Alice couldn't figure it out, so she had to wait three days to solve it.And tomorrow, she plans to patronize Will's new company.She can only be so leisurely before making arrangements for school related matters.

Early the next morning, she dragged her bodyguards to the Tokyo headquarters.

From a distance, she saw the tall building that was not inferior to the Tokyo Tower.

This headquarters obviously took a lot of effort to build. Not only is it a good location, it is located in the economic center, and every design has put some thought into it.The security is not bad. It is said that every part of the company is equipped with remote monitoring devices, there are no dead spots, and there is a lot of firepower hidden in it.

Such a place could be called a military base.

When Alice approached, she found that the company really looked like a military base. After installing a security device at the door, it was still moving and installing some kind of door-like equipment.

"What's that?" Alice immediately asked the bodyguard beside her.

The bodyguard also seemed very puzzled: "I'm very sorry, I haven't seen this thing before, I'll go over and ask, just wait a moment."

Soon, Alice got the answer. It turned out that this is a machine specially used to detect ghouls. If a ghoul passes through the door, the instrument will react and alert the security personnel.

After listening to Alice, she asked Galen, her bodyguard who had been following her yesterday, in distress, "What is a ghoul?"

"Don't you know?" Galen was very surprised. "It's a monster that eats people. It looks like a human, but it lives by eating people. This kind of monster exists all over the world, and of course there are here in Japan. , don't you know?"

"Human-eating monster?" Alice said that this was the first time she had heard of it.It was as if a strange thing suddenly appeared in this world overnight, and everyone else knew about it, but she didn't.

Even after Galen explained to her in detail and described the characteristics of the ghouls, she didn't have any real feeling, feeling like a fantasy.

However, everyone said so, and even the news about ghouls eating people was broadcast on the huge screen outside, and she reluctantly accepted this shocking information.

Walking and talking like this, Alice arrived at Will's office.

Here, Lillian and Will, the father and son, are happily talking to the computer.

"Alice, you're here." Will waved happily, "Come here quickly. We are showing you the school. I arranged for Lillian's school and classes yesterday. It will take a few days until the formalities are completed. He can go. It's up to you now, and I'm not too sure which school you prefer."

"Oh? Which school is it?" Alice also stared at the screen curiously, "Forget it, just tell me where it is, I don't have any idea about the middle school here."

Alice tried to capture information from the webpage, and found that the school was near the Tokyo headquarters by accident.

"Lilian, are you planning to live here for a long time?" Alice was a little displeased, always feeling that the attitudes of Will and Lilian had changed subtly overnight, and it seemed that they were very cooperative in releasing Lilian In the position of the future heir.

She doesn't care who will inherit Will's family business in the future, she just thinks it's too early. After all, Lillian is still young, and the life he has really experienced is only 11 years old. If he will live to inherit the family business in the future... Liz didn't want to see this situation, but she also knew that she shouldn't say anything more.

"Isn't it good to live here? Dad may live in the company for a long time in the future, so I might as well stay here. Elder sister, you can choose one too." Lilian's sincere smile made Alice feel a little relieved.

Based on her curiosity and longing for the University of Tokyo, Alice chose a high school near the University of Tokyo.Because she realizes her worries are unnecessary.

Will loves Lillian more than himself, and he will never let Lillian feel even the slightest bit of unhappiness, so this time he probably just wants to keep Lillian by his side and protect him.

As for Alice, Will didn't dare or want to tie her by his side.He clearly knew that Alice was a person who did not want to be bound, and simply did everything according to her own wishes.

In the end, as he thought, Alice chose a school far away from the Tokyo headquarters according to her own ideas.

"By the way, which class is Lilian in? Don't worry, I won't be able to find you in the future."

"Class three, three years." Lilian stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Then I'll wait for you to come to me."

This is the beginning of their life in Tokyo.

During this period, it may be that Alice's restlessness was a little obvious, and Will avoided everyone to talk to her in his spare time.

"It's nothing, it's just that I have to rent a house or live on campus there in the future, and it's a little sad not to see you often."

"You really haven't grown up!" Will smiled and looked at her kindly, "Then you should choose the high school here from the beginning."

"No, I still prefer Dongda. I've always heard that there are a lot of weird stories there, and I'm somewhat interested."

"You are really willful, for this reason." Will blamed.

"Dad, what exactly are you trying to tell me? Don't need to go around the bush." ​​Alice finally noticed Will's unnaturalness.

"Actually, it's nothing." Will lowered his voice a little. "I just want to ask you, after coming to Japan, do you find any strange things? Like ghouls."

Will finally spoke out about his strange experience yesterday.

He came to Japan to meet the requirements of the two children and to take over the protection-umbrella company.

But he didn't expect to receive a big order as soon as he arrived in Tokyo-the cooperation plan of CCG in Japan.

At that time, he was stunned, because he couldn't remember what CCG was.But the businessman's sophistication hid his surprise well, and he talked with the representative sent by CCG calmly.

Naturally, the self-introduction that Will has been waiting for is indispensable.

CCG, Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau, the English full name is Commission of Counter Ghoul.An organization dedicated to fighting ghouls and protecting the safety of human beings.

Will was shocked again at this time, because he, like Alice, had no idea what a ghoul was.

But then slowly, he realized that he had automatically understood the existence of ghouls and accepted the organization CCG, as if his memory had been revived.But that strong sense of disobedience has been lingering.

To clarify, he asked the people around him.

Local people in Japan seem to have known the existence of this creature and CCG a long time ago.And the people he brought from the United States hesitated like him before remembering these two things.Then he tried to contact the people who were still in the United States, but found that the people there also took the existence of ghouls and CCG for granted, just like the Japanese.

Such weirdness made him a little uneasy, so he finally tactfully told CCG that he needed to think about it.

"Actually, I'm the same as you, but I don't have any real sense of these things until now. Or to put it simply, I don't think these things really exist at all, even though everyone around me thinks so." Alice believed in her feelings, He was also happy to tell his father about it.

"But I've become like everyone else and accepted it all, and so has Lillian. I always feel uneasy." Will looked genuinely distressed.

"Are you going to agree to the cooperation with CCG? I think cooperation with the government can still be considered. Of course, the key point is what kind of cooperation they want to carry out." Although Alice was as disturbed as Will, she still hoped that this cooperation could be reached of.

No matter how powerful her adoptive father was, he was only a businessman after all.The acquisition of Umbrella Company must have cost him a lot, and he could be regarded as unfamiliar with the place when he came here. At this time, it is beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with the local government, and it can even develop the current company.However, cooperation with the government is often accompanied by danger, and if it is too risky, it must not be agreed.

"Sorry, I signed a non-disclosure agreement. No matter whether the cooperation is successful or not, I can't tell you the content. Anyway, I will think about it carefully. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Will said and finally felt relieved, "Thank you for being able to Hear me whine, I'm better now, Alice."

"Then, in order to repay me, can you give me some information about Umbrella Company? It should be about the company's historical records. This kind of information should be given to me." Alice finally said her original plan to come Protection - the purpose of an umbrella company.

It was actually a whim.

Since the car accident six years ago, she has habitually carried a notepad with her to record all kinds of things she thinks need to be recorded at any time.Even with a computer, she didn't give up this original record, it was almost like a subconscious action.

Such a note pad has been kept by her.Until now, the note pad that originally wrote the events of six years ago is still in her hand, but it is worn out.

The day before departure, she found all these notepads out of nostalgia and prepared to take them to Japan.And the note pad from six years ago is too broken, people can't bear to look directly at it.

She planned to read through the notepad, transcribe it if there was anything worth recording, and then throw it away.

In the process, she discovered part of the newspaper stuck in the pad.

This was the trend of children at that time: cut out the interesting newspaper content, paste it in a notebook and collect it.

This newspaper is naturally the newspaper from six years ago.The cut content is very single, all about the umbrella company at that time.

As we all know, Umbrella Company is a large international company with a long history, otherwise it would be difficult to have such strength.However, this newspaper is analyzing how a new company, the umbrella company, has risen so fast and grown to such a large scale.

New company... Even six years ago, Umbrella couldn't be called that.Later, Alice checked the newspaper, but because she didn't have the type, date and number of the newspaper, she found nothing in the end.

She then thought of protecting the historical records of Umbrella's own family.For things related to herself, she never allowed any omissions or confusion. She hoped to find out as much as possible about this strange newspaper and umbrella company.

Will then ordered his subordinates to look for such records. After all, he had just taken over, and the organization of the materials had not yet been formally regulated.

However, what he didn't expect was that this document was read by someone as early as about half a month ago.

That person was an undercover agent he arranged for the Umbrella Company. He once obeyed Will's order to put a deadly device into the body of Bill, who became a licker, and later helped Will bring down the Umbrella Company.

That man was a born spy.He can always minimize his presence, and no one will easily notice his existence. Even if they see him, they will immediately forget his appearance.Maybe it's because his appearance is too ordinary, so people can't remember it.

After the umbrella company closed down, he took over the task of integrating the resources of the umbrella company.

One of them is organizing important data.He didn't care about the important confidential information. Instead, like Alice, he first found the company's historical records stored in the Umbrella Company's US branch.

He found that the company had a well established and long track record.However, only the records of these six years are related to the outside world.The record six years ago is like an isolated island, completely unrelated to the outside world.

Let's put it this way, in the past six years, this company has a record of cooperation and competition with other companies outside.The record six years ago is completely different, and the part of communication and cooperation with the outside world is completely fake. For example, the company and a certain company cooperated to invent something, but after careful inspection, it was found that there was no such company. It happened in another world.

The Umbrella Company did invent such a thing, but the records were wrong.

He could even find out the exact separation point of the two styles, accurate to a certain month six years ago, and in that month, a tragic car accident happened, two families' cars collided, six people died, and the remaining one He was sent to an orphanage, and later adopted by today's rich man, Hyman Will.

"So, it really is Alice's masterpiece—no, it should be called a phenomenon." He finally came to this conclusion.

But Alice's journey to find information was not so smooth.It seems that some accidents occurred here half a month ago, resulting in the loss of data, including what Alice was looking for.
