The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After listening to the description of the black-robed man, Leo and Sylvia couldn't help but look at each other again, obviously they were extremely surprised by the black-robed man's actions.

Before, when Raul, the director of the Security Bureau, sent someone to look for them to assist in the investigation, they just thought that this might be the personal character and behavior of Chief Raul, but now the behavior of the man in black robes They realized that this kind of behavior is not an exception, it is likely to be the unique way of doing things in Xuecheng office staff.

It's human nature to ask someone for help when you encounter difficulties, but if you put it on official business, this kind of behavior is obviously a bit unreasonable.

According to normal circumstances, if there is no real problem that cannot be solved, or the problem has been delayed beyond control, it is absolutely impossible for those who perform official duties to seek help from others, because this approach will only lower the evaluation of others, thereby affecting the to the future.

In addition, when the matter is just taken over, before it is determined whether he can complete it independently, the person who does things as usual should not ask for help, unless the person knows that he is extremely incompetent and has no plans to even try it.

Obviously, these few black-robed men who seem to be shrewd and capable are not incompetent people who have completely lost their self-confidence. They can be sent here to investigate, which is enough to prove that the security management of the academic city. trust in them.

But now the other party seems to ask for help directly, which makes Leo and Sylvia feel a kind of weirdness that they can't tell.

"Why did you ask us for help? Shouldn't you do your own investigation now to see if you have the ability to solve this matter, and then come to us for assistance?" Leo asked very directly.

Hearing Leo's question, the black-robed man at the head couldn't help but smile and said, "Since we have to ask the two of you to help sooner or later, why do we waste time on some useless things?"

Sylvia also asked a little puzzled: "Shouldn't the useless things you say be something you have to do? Just like you, you just came to help outsiders after taking over the investigation. Wouldn't this affect the situation? Is it your ability evaluation?"

The black-robed man retorted: "Shouldn't the ability evaluation be based on the results? Since we can solve the problem in a shorter time, why delay the time?"

Although Sylvia felt that there was something wrong with what the man in black robe said, she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

However, Leo, who was on the side, gradually understood why the black-robed man had such unconventional behavior.

Obviously, whether it is the black-robed man in front of him, or the director of the Security Bureau, Raul, or the city guards of the academic city, they should have received specialized training before taking office, and this training is not just for their own training. Ability may also involve the content of psychological behavior, and those who have undergone these trainings will become the same kind of consequentialists, no matter what kind of xinxing they used to be.

In their hearts, showing their abilities to superiors or others is secondary, and completing various tasks in the shortest time is the most important thing. As for who to ask for help in the process of completing tasks, these are irrelevant. It will have any influence on them, and it will not be taken into their hearts.

That's why they asked for help from outsiders as soon as they started the investigation, and acted as a matter of course, without showing any embarrassment at all.

Lei Ou asked: "In the security department of Xuecheng, other people are like you. After taking over various tasks, if they find someone who can help solve the task or shorten the task solving time, they will find that person as soon as possible. ?"

The man in black robe asked back, "Of course, isn't this the most correct way?"

"It is indeed the most correct method." Leo smiled and then decided: "Sorry, we may not be able to assist you in continuing to investigate this matter."

The man in black robe was a little stunned after hearing this, and the man in the lead asked a little puzzled: "Why? Can you explain the reason?"

Leo said coldly: "We have our own things to do, and there is no other extra time to deal with other things, not to mention that this matter itself is your own task, and the simple truth of solving your own affairs by yourself should not need me. Did you explain?"

Hearing the explanation, the black-robed men looked at each other. Although they still felt a little puzzled in their eyes, they did not continue to insist on asking Leo and Sylvia to assist them in investigating this matter, and they did not waste time. They all stood up. ready to leave.

When sending these people out of the apartment, Leo suddenly added: "Although I refuse to assist you in investigating this matter, I can still give you a reminder that there is no need for you to look for the kidnapped Lu Xiu in the city. Now, Lucius is likely to have left the academic city."

Hearing the words, the black-robed man at the head turned to look at Leo and asked, "Why do you judge that the Lucius scholar has left the academy? Did you find any clues?"

Facing the question from the man in black robe, Leo just smiled, and without giving any answer, he turned back to the house.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the man in black robe felt that he had to apply for an injunction to the head of the security department, but this idea only flashed in his mind, and he was sure that the supervisor could not pass such an injunction, because in his In his memory, Xuecheng seems to have not used orders such as injunctions to require scholars in Xuecheng to do things they don't want to do. It's just that students have precedents, not to mention the teacher's words.

Although Leo and Sylvia failed to promise to assist them, Leo's last reminder also helped him a lot, because he never thought that Lucius had left before, after all, Lucius was kidnapped Afterwards, the second urban area was blocked, and the whole city was searched. In this case, it is basically impossible to send a big living person away, but if there are traitors among the city guards, then things will be another matter. , Lucius is probably out of town.

So, after returning to the ruins of the building, the man in black robe continued to let people clean up the ruins and search for clues, while sending two pairs of city guards with special tracking instruments to chase down the two roads that could leave the second city. At the same time, he also informed the guards stationed in the towns below the Xuecheng to closely check the people who came and went, and even if the kidnappers could not be found, they would delay their departure.

Not long after the man in the black robe gave the orders, the people who cleaned up the rubble found the bodies of several assistant students in the research lab. These assistant students all had binding marks on their bodies, and their hearts were fatally wounded. He died before the building collapsed. At the same time, the man in black robe also found some burnt documents next to the corpse, and found some useful information on the documents.

When they discovered this information, the black-robed men immediately sealed the documents as if they were facing a major enemy, and also ordered the cleaning staff to stop cleaning, and then hurriedly left the second city with the burned documents. , returned to the third city, and reported the things and their findings directly to the highest-level director of the security department.

After learning about the situation, the supervisors immediately brought their belongings to the Truth Building where the management of Xuecheng was located, and reported the matter directly to the top management.

"The Primitive Church? How is that possible? Haven't they all been wiped out?" Someone in the management couldn't help but exclaimed in shock after learning about the situation.

Another person said coldly: "It's just the church's claim that it was destroyed, no one knows the real situation, and even if the Primitive Church is besieged and suppressed, the books of the Primitive Church are still there, don't forget, even we There are also several sets of books of the Primitive Church in the library of the Xuecheng, and those who read these books will inevitably find some people who want the Primitive Church to revive."

Someone immediately retorted: "Impossible, the books of the Primordial Church collected by Xuecheng have been edited and edited, and there is no possibility that there is any content related to the Primordial Church, even if the Primordial Church really resurfaces, it is impossible. It's because of the books in our library."

A sensible person interrupted other people's discussions about the resurgence of the Primordial Church, and said in a deep voice, "This is not the time to talk about this. How should we solve this matter now?"

After a moment of silence in the room, Andris, the dean of the inner courtyard, said solemnly: "The fact that there is a trace of the Primitive Church in the Xuecheng cannot be spread, and you should know very well what the lunatics of the church will do when they find out about this. , All people related to this case will be temporarily placed under house arrest. After the matter is over, use thinkers to reshape their memories and erase relevant content. The matter of tracing the kidnappers will be handed over to the Belmont family, and they will hunt down the prey. Expert." After speaking, he paused again and said: "Let the silent scholar go to the second city to investigate what Lucius is researching, and it will cause the people of the Primitive Church to risk his identity. kidnapping."

After everyone heard the words, they discussed it seriously, and felt that this arrangement was very suitable, so they all passed it, but after passing it, Thomas, the dean of the outer court, suddenly said, "I have a question, have you read the homepage of the report, which mentioned this above. Among the people involved in the case seems to be the couple who just joined the academy."

"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. They quickly opened the homepage of the information in their hands and looked at the list listed above. The expressions on their faces also changed. Some were puzzled, some worried, and some suspicious.

Someone was full of suspicion and said with a hint of hostility: "The above mentioned that they only arrived at the academy today, and it was also mentioned that they were the discoverers of the Lucius kidnapping case. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"

"What are you suspecting? Do you suspect that the couple is the kidnapper?" Feeling this targeted hostility, someone said with extreme dissatisfaction: "If they are really the kidnappers, they don't need to say it at all, they just need to keep Silence is enough. For a long time, no one will find that Lucius is missing, and the traces of the Primitive Church left in the collapsed building can be completely cleaned up, and there is no need to destroy a building in order to clear the traces. , making such a big noise, they won't be suspected by a guy like you."

"You..." Being attacked directly by his colleagues, the man felt a little annoyed and was about to refute.

"Enough!" Thomas, the dean of the outer court, knocked on the table, cut off any possible disputes, and then said solemnly: "The real identity of the lady is still uncertain, and from various circumstances, the couple both Possessing extremely powerful supernatural powers, even the Paladins of the Church of Delusional Heart follow them as students, and rashly confronting them will only make us passive. These commands to shape memory do not apply to them, and we still keep our eyes on them secretly."

"I also agree with Thomas' proposal." Andris, the head of the inner court, also nodded, and added: "Her Majesty has understood the situation and sent someone to investigate the identity of this lady Sylvia. This is the royal family. We should not rashly intervene in the internal affairs of the people, so we just need to treat them as ordinary mentors." He thought for a while, and then said, "They seem to carry some bad luck on them, wherever they go, where are they? Just when an accident happened, it was the case in the Green City, and it is the same now, we should find something for them to do to prevent them from walking around and causing trouble."

Hearing the words of Dean Andris, the high-level officials of the academy in the room nodded in unison, even those who suspected that Sylvia was the royal family of Teresa and had a trace of inexplicable respect could not refute this A troublemaker's word.

Someone asked: "So what are you looking for? They probably won't be interested in general things. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Another person said: "How about taking out all the projects that are currently stagnant and temporarily abandoned and let them choose?"

Someone put forward a different opinion, saying: "It's better to let them set up research projects according to their own interests."

After some discussion, the management finally decided to take out the existing research projects of the city for Leo and Sylvia to choose. If there is no suitable one, let them set up their own research projects, and they will also be given projects. The maximum support, of course, many of the content of this maximum support will only be nominal, and they will still have restrictions in the academy until their true identity is determined.

Just when the management of the academy was discussing related matters, Leo and Sylvia, who were supposed to rest in the apartment, left the Second City District silently, and came to the book town at the foot of the mountain, standing on a fourth floor. On the roof of the tall building, I watched a group of out-of-town booksellers packing their bags not far away.

It seems that this team of booksellers has bought enough books and is ready to leave the book town, but the book town guards suddenly and strictly inspect the caravans and pedestrians entering and exiting the book town, and many people are blocked at several entrances and exits of the book town. Therefore, the caravan is not able to go on the road for the time being.
