A few seconds later, Rommel closed his eyes and opened them again, changing into his usual appearance.
He glanced at Inogova and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Wizard Inogova, I was a little out of control."
As he spoke, he walked up to Inogova, stretched out a hand, pulled Inogova up, and said: "Where is Chekhov now? Take me to see him, I want to talk to him. "
"Hoo-ho-"
Inogova made a sound like a broken bellows in her throat. She struggled to breathe for a few seconds before she felt her strength returned. She looked at Rommel and nodded, not daring to hesitate, "Yes."
Take a step forward and lead Rommel forward.
…
About ten minutes later.
Elsewhere in the town of Pompeii, there was a knock on the door of an underground chamber.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"
"Squeak!"
Accompanied by a tooth-chilling sound, a moss-covered stone door opened from the inside, revealing Chikafu's figure.
Looking across Chekhov's figure, he could see that there was a bronze candlestick engraved with lighting techniques lighting up the room, and a table filled with various information—Chekhov had been browsing these carefully in the past two days. material.
Seeing Rommel, Chikafu was slightly startled, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Director Rommel came to see me for something? Is there something wrong with the application I just submitted for accessing your relevant information?"
"No problem." Rommel said, "If you want, I can give them all to you in a while. The main reason I came to you this time is to talk to you about the handling of Wizard Richard."
"Wizard Richard, deal with it?" Chikafu was keenly aware of the change in Rommel's words. His eyes widened a little, and he was a little surprised. Then he let out a narrow laugh, "Oh, what, Director Rommel, are you now?" Do you finally agree with my opinion? Before, you still insisted that Wizard Richard was an outstanding member, why... "
Rommel glanced, interrupted Chekhov's words, and said in a cold tone: "Inspector Chekhov, you can choose to ridicule my mistakes. If you want, I don't even mind if you laugh at me. My loyalty is to initiate an investigation, as is your right.
However, before you do anything or say anything, it's best to think about its subsequent impact, instead of just saying it quickly. Now, you can continue to finish what I interrupted, or you can tell me whether you want to cooperate with my next actions. "
Chekhov was a little unconvinced. After all, Rommel took the initiative to find him, which already proved that he was the winner. His suspicion all along was correct.
Since he is right, why should he bow his head
He should be arrogant.
But under Rommel's gaze, Chekhov felt a great pressure, and finally couldn't help but slowly lowered his head, breathed heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
"Very good." Rommel nodded, turned and walked out, "Come with me."
Looking at Rommel's figure, Chikafu bit his lip and followed him.
…
Town of Pompeii, Residence No. 1248.
Before the demolition plan was stopped by Rommel, most of the stone buildings in District 12 had been demolished. This resulted in many fewer stone buildings around Residence No. 1248, making it feel a bit lonely. Under the cover of night, it looks like a small boat sailing in the vast ocean.
Inside the "boat", in the living room on the first floor, many candles were lit, and Richard was pacing.
He is thinking.
From the moment he made the decision to resist until now, for two days and two nights, he has been thinking about how to solve the difficult situation in front of him.
Now that he is ready to refuse to believe in the true God, the easiest solution is to be denied. It will be very difficult to ensure his own safety and leave Pompeii smoothly as planned.
He had studied the warning spell set by Rommel, and it went directly deep into the ground to form a closed sphere with no loopholes to drill through. At the same time, we have also tested the effect of the alert spell using various spells. There is not much certainty that we can guarantee a concealed escape - once we choose to take the risk to escape, we will definitely fall into an extremely dangerous and irreversible situation after being exposed.
However, if he did not take the risk of escaping, there would be no guarantee for him to use other methods to overcome the difficulties ahead. In the past two days, he had formulated four different plans, each of which gave him a higher chance of leaving Pompeii safely. None exceed fifty percent.
In other words, no matter what he did, he had at least a half chance of facing off against Rommel, Chekhov and the Pompeii wizards head-on.
So he was trying to stall for time, wanting to see if there were any other variables. Unless he had to, he didn't want to use rough means as a way to solve everything.
It is true that the three implosion atomic bombs gave him a strong trump card, but these three implosion atomic bombs were what he planned to use for research, not for killing people.
He just wanted to be a researcher, not a butcher.
If he chose the latter, he would be very sad that the three implosion atomic bombs were not used in the right place.
But having said that, if the current situation continues, he will eventually have to choose to take risks. No matter how much you feel sorry for the implosion atomic bomb, you still have to use it when it’s time to use it.
Pacing, pacing.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Richard walked towards a wall. Under the candlelight, the shadow falling on the ground became longer and longer, and the sound of talking to himself came from his mouth.
"At present, Plan No. 3 seems to be the best, and the probability of solving it without fighting is up to 45%. However, the key to this plan is to provoke a conflict between Director Rommel and Chikaf, or to trigger a conflict in the South A crisis of confidence in the Free Federation branch and the headquarters of the Society of Truth. This can transfer the danger, muddy the waters, and take the opportunity to escape.
It's just a question of how much trust Rommel, the supervisor, can still have in himself before implementation. Your own delay in responding will undoubtedly cause the other party to feel resentful, disappointed, and angry. How angry will the other person be? If you still have a little bit of thought to convince yourself, then the plan can proceed smoothly. If the other party is too angry and turns away directly, the plan will be considered a failure and will jump directly to the second half of Plan 4... "
"Then what will happen to the other party now?" Richard said to himself and walked to the corner.
There was a wooden chair in the corner. He turned around and sat on it, leaning back and leaning on the back of the chair. I opened my eyes and thought for a while, then slowly closed my eyelids.
"Buzz!"
…
Business point, basement level.
In a little-known meeting hall, many wizards from Pompeii were summoned to participate in a trial meeting—a trial meeting in which the suspect was absent.
The person presiding over the trial was Chekhov, standing at one end of the long conference table, telling the participants his suspicions and evidence in detail.
Rommel sat in a corner of the hall, far away from the conference table, listening quietly to Chekhov's words. He made no comment throughout the whole process, as if he was just listening.
