Richard continued: "Inspector Chekhov, you think it's strange that I took out a fourteen-year-old pregnant girl alone. In fact, I'm also surprised that you took out a kind of ore from the mine alone.
Yes, this ore is indeed somewhat different from other ores, but it is just an ore, so why give it too much meaning that does not belong to it
You think it’s abnormal for me to mine a large amount of it and store it in hidden underground warehouses, then I’ll tell you why I do this. This is because this kind of ore exudes corrosive energy at all times. If it comes into contact with living creatures for a long time, it can cause biological mutations with a certain probability and make them become extremely cruel.
If we really want to explain this matter, we have to start talking about it a long time ago. At that time, before you came to the branch, there was an inexplicable incident of demonic creatures injuring people near the town of Shambhala. In order to ensure stability, the branch specially sent wizard Joseph to deal with it.
Prior to processing, Joseph and I had a brief encounter with the intention of sending me a crystal ball. It was at that time that I told him about my suggestions for improving the crystal ball. It was also at that time that I learned from him the name of the town of Shambhala and some information about demonized creatures.
Later, Wizard Joseph dealt with the demonized creatures. By chance, I went to the town of Shambhala and came up with the idea of mining ores in the town of Shambhala. As the ore was being mined in the town's mine, I discovered a kind of ore that might trigger riots by demonized creatures, and only then did I understand the inside story of Wizard Joseph's mission.
However, I was not completely sure at the time. To be cautious, I could only have these ores mined together, put them into lead boxes that can isolate energy, and seal them in underground hidden warehouses.
After sealing it, in order to prevent outsiders from contacting it, I sent people to strictly guard it. At the same time, in order to understand the mechanism by which this ore causes demonized creatures to mutate, I specially invited Aldrich and Baal wizards to test it, but they did not give me a satisfactory answer. I just had to try to do my own research. "
"You want to study it yourself?" Chikafu said coldly.
"Yes, I want to research it myself." Richard responded, "Is there anything wrong with that? Before joining the organization, I was a wizard from the General Society and had a strong pursuit of unknown things.
In fact, in my opinion, the Puro Society and the Truth will be very similar. They both pursue something eternal. —What the Puluo Society pursues is endless knowledge, while what the Truth Society pursues is absolute truth.
It was this similarity that made me decide to join the Truth Society, contribute to the Truth Society, and let the Truth Society help me develop at the same time.
But now, it seems to me that there may be some misunderstanding. Maybe the truth will not be as beautiful as I thought before.
Otherwise, why am I deeply suspected by some people because I just want to study an unknown ore, thinking that I am detrimental to the interests of the organization? I didn't feel how great such an organization was. Instead, I smelled a rotten, rigid, and targeted atmosphere.
I thought maybe I was blocking someone's path, maybe I was being used as a pawn. If this is the case, then it would be a wise choice for me to quit the Truth Society. "
"You feel that you are being targeted and persecuted, so you want to withdraw from the Society of Truth?" Chikafu gritted his teeth and squeezed out his voice from between his teeth, "Wizard Richard, it goes without saying that the words are so obscure. If you feel that I am persecuting You, if you feel that I am deliberately retaliating against you for some reason, you can say so!"
"Really?" Richard took a deep look at Chikafu, without any hesitation at all, and nodded, "Okay, Inspector Chikafu, I'm talking about you. I just think now that you are persecuting me. , you are targeting me, you are using me as a pawn to deal with certain people."
"Bold! Nonsense!" Chikafu slammed the table and yelled.
But Richard was not afraid. He glanced at his supervisor, Rommel, who didn't say anything. He looked at Chikafu and continued without any shame:
"Am I bold? Am I talking nonsense? Inspector Chekhov, in fact, I think these two words are more suitable for you.
You said before that you have a title, Hound, which you got after making six major contributions to the organization, and you are proud of it. I admire this very much.
However, you use this title as evidence and your intuition as a reason to say that I am suspected of harming the interests of the organization. I am not convinced. I think you may have messed up some logic.
You have to know that it was you who found the loopholes and made your contribution that earned you the title of 'Hound'. Instead of having the title of 'hound', you can find loopholes and make contributions.
The title is a kind of honor and represents past achievements, but it is not a symbol of ability. It doesn’t mean that just because you have a title, you can falsely accuse others at will. I admit that your status is higher than mine, you are the inspector, I am just a peripheral member of the organization, and you are from the headquarters, I am only in the branch. But no matter how high your status is, you still have to be reasonable.
Why did you think there was something wrong with me from the beginning? If I really have a problem, please find evidence. If you can't find evidence, clear my name.
You think the ore is suspicious and may endanger the organization, then please tell me why it is suspicious and how it endangers the security of the organization!
My guess is good. Since you snatched the mineral powder back, people have tried to identify it, trying to find out the details of the mineral powder. However, as of today, you have not obtained any results, so you can only ask me in a loud voice, what is this mineral powder and what is it used for.
But actually, I don’t know, I can’t give you the answer at all. It was like someone suddenly pointed at me and said I was a thief. I'm obviously innocent, how could I admit it? Even if the other party scolds or threatens me with his identity, I will not admit it. I believe that the onlookers will not believe it either.
After all, this world is a normal world, and most people are sensible people. Only those very few people who are so wise that their brains are a little confused can think this matter is reasonable. If now, the other party is still pestering me and insisting that I am a thief, then I have only one thing to say.
That is, the other party's level of shamelessness and wisdom really exceeds everyone I have ever met, yes, everyone. "
"You!" Chikafu's eyes widened and he pointed towards Richard with one hand. His body was trembling.
His face was extremely scary, with a purple-purple color and protruding blood vessels, like a dying, shriveled earthworm, twisting under his skin.
"puff!"
Chikafu suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground on his back. The sudden change shocked most people in the conference room.
However, Richard was not surprised. He just looked at Chikafu calmly, with a somewhat unfinished expression on his face, as if he was ready to wait for Chikafu to stand up before saying a few words.
