Chapter 1197: verify

Views:

As the most developed area in the current kingdom, Holy City obviously has more than one kind of publication.

In addition to the "Karen Times" published nationwide, the two newly opened universities in the city simultaneously published "Physics", "Nature", "Mathematics", "Medical Care", "Agriculture" and other titles. Newspapers and periodicals are full of very professional news.

Although it is not this kind of academic journal placed in the hotel at this time, it is a oriented professional newspaper "Reference Index".

These are all reports on various scientific research achievements or affairs in Houlier City. The target group is obviously mages and related industries. On its front page today, there is a prominent message: "Mages of Houlier City were killed Demon attack!"

Below these big characters is a detailed report with a picture:

"...The incident that happened on Third Street yesterday has attracted the attention of the Research Department. Foss Tarleton (male, 34 years old) is a low-level mage who originally lived in Parisian City. He came to Huobi three months ago. Lier City participated in the laboratory research projects of various magisters in Bodo. Before the incident, his assistants and friends said that Foss had heard some kind of whispering voice for days..."

"...According to the witnesses at the scene, Master Foss smashed his head into the window. This behavior caused him a head injury and bleeding on the spot. Then he lost control of his behavior and tried to attack passers-by. The police officers of Houlier City who arrived immediately uniformed After investigation, this incident is a typical 'demon attack'..."

The following is about the symptoms of "demon attack", including "hearing whispers in the ear", "uncontrollable body", "strange thoughts in the heart", etc. Talia broke out in a cold sweat, because every sentence above The words seem to be describing her own symptoms!

And at the bottom of this news, the newspaper also said: "...In view of this matter, all citizens who have suspected symptoms within the Karen Kingdom, please rush to the office at No. 3 Mayo Street to explain the situation as soon as possible. Special personnel will check and confirm your condition, if you are confirmed to have the symptoms of 'demon attack', please don't worry, we will try our best to treat and recover through magic means, and there are some successful cases so far..."

"It turns out that there are other people who have this situation!"

Inexplicably, Talia felt a lot more secure in her heart, because it meant that she was not alone and helpless, and having "patient friends" meant that other people might have researched a certain solution.

She took a deep breath and said fortunately: "How should I describe this? Someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy? I really thought I was hopeless...I never thought I would find a solution just after I came here!"

But Talia's expression froze suddenly after she finished saying this sentence—is this a coincidence

"Nafei, do you think...could this be a huge trap in itself? Just waiting for me to take the bait?"

Talia said such a sentence abruptly, and Naifei just raised her eyebrows and looked at her strangely.

But what the two of them didn't know was that at this time, countless people outside the house, on the street, and inside the magic tower were staring at the movement inside the house...

When he heard Talia's skeptical words, Rody, who was standing on the top of the magic tower in Houlier City, didn't change much expression.

In front of him is the current scene in the house of Nefer and Talia. Standing beside him are not only Akasha, Sally and other high-level officials of the kingdom, but also all the high-level dragons in Hollier City. Victor Frowning, he said: "Need to take measures?"

At the same time, more than 20 "plainclothes" outside the hotel slowed down at the same time, and a little further away, there were six elders of the dragon clan who were ready to activate the magic circle-of course, the hotel Talia was in did not appear randomly , but the "surveillance area" that has been selected long ago. Not only is there surveillance in the house, but the magic circles on the inner and outer floors are all prepared for various "worst plans".

As long as Rody nodded, Talia would be controlled by spells at any time, and would even be blown into powder immediately.

But at this moment he remained silent.

Talia on the screen stood up, looked around, and said in a low voice, "Could this newspaper be fake too? Or... everything is fake?"

She stretched out her hand to push the window open. There was a lot of people outside the window. Talia looked at all this with shortness of breath, and then ran out of the door suddenly.

Seeing this, Naifei followed, and stretched out her hand to hold Talia: "What are you going to do?"

"To verify that all this is not a trap."

At this moment, Talia's expression was a little scary. She looked down and stopped at the hand that Talia was holding her.

"I mean... how do you want to verify it? If you need my help, just tell me anytime—but you have to make it clear that this is Hollier City, not Burg Village. Guy, the price is not as simple as an apology. If Master Ethan is involved, the problem may become very serious, do you understand?"

Nafi didn't give in at all, she stared at Talia, her voice raised a lot: "I know you are under a lot of psychological pressure, but panic can't solve the problem, have you thought of a way? If you don't think of it, calm down and think about it Do it again."

It was the first time Talia saw Naifei's attitude, she immediately softened up a lot, froze for a few seconds, and said slowly: "I... I don't know what to do..."

"Then think about it first. If you think there is a problem, then start with the problem."

Naifei picked up the newspaper and looked at the information behind it, but Talia seemed to have just recovered, and immediately said: "That newspaper, could it be fake? Could it be that some devil's news...the whole thing is fake of?"

"Then let's go out and prove it."

Naifei didn't talk nonsense, she got up and walked out.

Talia was surprised by this. After all, she even doubted Nefei's identity and behavior just now, and she never thought that the other party would still be willing to help her.

But Naifei has a serious expression: "You almost smashed your head against the glass just now, do you know? If this is some kind of disease, I hope you can find a solution. If it is really a 'demon attack', then you must deal with it as soon as possible! Now you If you doubt all of these, then my suggestion is to verify their authenticity... I still have some money here, if not, let’s go buy some newspapers and verify them by hand? Or ask around?"

Seeing that Talia was hesitant to make a decision, Naifei simply took her out of the hotel, went straight to a nearby newsstand, and began to buy various related newspapers one by one.

The result is obvious: various periodicals and tabloids have more or less relevant content. And the just-released issue of "Karen Times" included "Demon Invasion" as a special report, and also stated that "all those who participated in the inspection will sign an agreement to ensure personal safety, and there is no need to worry about life and health issues" and so on.

The "Magic" journal even described the symptoms and principles of the "demon attack". Although some speculations have not been confirmed, it is obvious that these studies cannot be simply compiled.

The cross-verification of the six newspapers was not enough, Naifei even took her directly to the "originating place", and directly asked the passers-by nearby to ask, and after asking the fourth one in a row, someone finally said that what happened in the newspaper was true. What he said vividly described the behavior of Mage Foss when he was taken away...

And as time went by, Talia finally recovered from that flustered mood.
