In the foggy city of England, three black cars slowly drove into a historic manor. It was obvious that it had only rained a few hours ago, but now there was no trace of water on the ground, and none of these details showed the wealth of the people here.
An English gentleman and six servants were already waiting in front of the big house. The leading British gentleman said, "You are safe, Miss Mephala. The last time we met...you were only 12 years old."
Walking in the front was a tall visitor with a shawl and long black hair who took off her hat, revealing a heroic female face, even the silver-rimmed round glasses on the bridge of her nose added a bit of majesty to her: "Walter Butler, Please lead the way. Now, I work for the Victorian Intelligence Service."
The British gentleman smiled, and led them into the inner house, where the girls Yuffie and Luoli Karen were already waiting inside, and there were three times as much steaming black tea on the table.
"Please sit down," Yuffie said first, "I am the head of Lampeluki, Yuffie Lampeluki."
"Nice meeting," Mephala sat down, crossed his hands in white gloves, and looked at the two girls in front of him through his round-rimmed glasses with a slit of snake-like eyes, "I am a civil servant belonging to Her Majesty's government , Director of the Victorian Intelligence Section, Mephala Inheim Hirsing."
Yuffie said, "Victoria... the intelligence department?"
"This year, to be precise, it is a special department established 135 days ago." Mephala said lightly: "The external name is the National Land Search Committee under the Privy Council."
At this time, Yuffie also had an impression. This land search committee has recently gained a reputation in the upper class of the UK. It has law enforcement powers no less than that of the Royal Police. When it comes to operations, it must cooperate with multiple departments. The nobles dare not obstruct them. Order your subordinates and the company to fully cooperate with them.
It is said that the nobles and the consortium had secretly held a meeting to reach a consensus. Originally, the Lampelucci family was also eligible to participate in this meeting, but because after the death of the owner, only Yuffie, an underage girl, was left. She has not been fully controlled yet, so this secret noble meeting did not invite her at all, but directly told her the results of the meeting—
'Fully cooperate with the Land Search Committee'.
It was only now that Yuffie knew that the National Land Retrieval Commission was the Victorian Intelligence Division, so she nodded and asked, "Then what questions do you have? If it was the incident at the Blackthorn Mansion yesterday, I think our Lampeluki family has already entrusted all the information to you." The people who hired the cards were most likely my aunt's family, Lord Flaxman."
Mephala said: "Don't worry, except for the 'killer' who claimed to be from Asgard, the incident has been fully investigated and the card base hidden in the fog city has also been uprooted. As for Flaxman... I believe you Lampe The Luji family has their own plans."
Yuffie: "Of course, so what are the requirements of the Victoria Intelligence Division?"
"I'm here for the 'killer' from Asgard," Mephala said. "So far, we still can't find the trace of this person, and the trains, planes and other places have also launched a comprehensive search, but I think The chances of finding him are slim."
Yuffie touched Kallen's little head, and said with a wry smile: "We want to find him too. The Lampeluki family is willing to pay any reward for his achievements... However, he disappeared."
"Yes, he disappeared." Mephala said: "Not only are there surveillance videos from five directions, but nearly a hundred people saw him disappear with their own eyes."
"It's not magic, it's not a mechanism, there's no hypnosis, there's no smoke, it's as if all the substances that make up him disintegrate into the tiniest particles and completely blend into the air."
Yuffie picked up the teacup, looked at the rippling light on the surface of the black tea, and said, "His marksmanship is also... extraordinary."
"Yes, and there is an extremely large organization behind him to thoroughly investigate this card operation." Mephala said: "He can accurately know which guests are assassins in disguise, and he will attack without hesitation. A shot is just right."
"According to the collation of our intelligence department and the confession of the card assassin, we all agree that this operation is perfect. Even if you can resist the fully armed assassin, the bomb hidden on the ninth floor will detonate, let alone the peripheral standby assassin."
"Brutal and simple assassination, the card has always liked this method, the chance of your survival is very small..."
Yuffie said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Killer appeared and helped us."
"Perhaps you who are in it don't feel it clearly, but according to the clues compiled later, we found that this mysterious killer is very scary." Mephala sighed: "In such a fierce gun battle, he can still protect some of the guests, so as to The fastest way to kill the assassin without any injuries... You know the process of this assassination has been posted online, right?"
"I know, and it can't be deleted, except shutting down the website server." Yuffie smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that I would be so famous."
"On the Internet, many people think that this is a movie, because the killer's cautious, calm, and perfect way of killing will only appear in movies. In reality, it is a fantasy." Mefara said: "And the organization behind him is still in control of huge energy... Moreover, we asked many people based on the location of the video camera, but without exception, they did not find the existence of the shooting device."
Hearing Mephala's unraveling, Yuffie also had a sliver of understanding: "In other words, the killer is an existence more shocking than playing cards?"
"Yes, although the details cannot be disclosed, the organization behind the killer is definitely beyond everyone's imagination."
Mephala nodded and said, "And I'm here now to find out the purpose of this person."
At this time, both Mephala and Yuffie naturally looked at the obedient Luoli Kallen who was sitting obediently aside. Karen blinked, sat down next to her sister, and grabbed Yuffie's sleeve tightly.
"There is no doubt that he wants to protect the two of you." Mephala said: "But according to the killer's performance, his most important goal is probably to protect Miss Kallen."
"But my sister..." Yuffie hugged Kallen gently, a little puzzled: "Is there anything special about her?"
Mephala paused, then turned to look at the British gentleman, who immediately understood and called the other servants to leave. Yuffie said suddenly: "Butler Walter doesn't have to avoid it."
Mephala didn't care, and asked her subordinates to leave too. When only the four of them were left in the living room, Mephala said, "I suspect that Miss Kallen has special talents."
"Special talent?" Yuffie was puzzled.
"Actually, some consortiums and nobles already know about it, and Lampelucci also belongs to the class that is entitled to know, so I'll be blunt." Mephala looked at Yuffie, and said seriously: "What method do you think the killer used to disappear?"
"Huh?" Yuffie didn't quite understand why Mephala suddenly changed the subject, but she still replied, "Probably...some kind of unknown ability."
"We think so too." Mefala drank the lipstick tea and said, "However, half a year ago, people with 'some kind of unknown ability' started popping up one by one."
"Generally speaking, such people are called superhumans, and their special abilities... are called superpowers."
Yuffie, who came from aristocratic background, quickly figured out the link: "Could it be that the goal of the Victoria Intelligence Division is..."
"That's right, it is the duty of our intelligence department to search for extraordinary people and search for information about superpowers."
Yuffie was silent for a moment, she was not an ordinary person, and she also experienced the special incident last night, and Mephala didn't need to lie, she only needed a phone call to check the truth: "You think my sister is also one of them? But she It's so small, and I haven't shown it... "
Mephala said: "We don't know what abilities your sister has. Extraordinary people have all kinds of strange abilities. But it's not difficult to check for such talents..."

Treasure chest
It was only then that Ren Suo remembered that he cleared the free game and got a treasure chest in addition to meritorious service, but at that time he was too sleepy and tired, so he went to sleep directly.
In the content storage library, there is only one item, which is the one-star treasure box.
"One-Star Treasure Chest: Don't expect any artifacts to come out of it."
"Is it on?"
Of course Ren Suo chose yes, but in the next second, the system popped up a prompt: "Your remaining treasure chest keys are: 0."
Ren Suo blinked.
Do you need a key to open the treasure chest
Seeing such a normal request suddenly, Ren Suo was a little confused.
"Yes, do you want to recharge..." Ren Suo was ready to take out his wallet. After all, this small world game console looks mysterious, and the game process played in it will happen exactly the same in reality...
Isn't it just money, take it!
Ren Suo knew that he must have encountered a great opportunity now!
However, the system prompts: "Searching for keys... Searching for keys..."
"Do you keep searching all the time? Note, if the key is successfully searched, 1 point of merit will be deducted automatically, and the search will automatically stop when the merit is 0."
What the hell? But it seems that if you don't get the key, you won't get the credit, which means it doesn't matter if you keep it on. Ren Suo saw that he still had 15 points of merit, so he kept it on.
"Wait for me to tear apart half a mile of this morning and twilight universe, and the three-foot blue light will wash away the smoke and dust~"
The phone rang suddenly. Ren Suo picked up the phone and glanced at it. He immediately connected and said, "Director Ye, what's the matter?"
"Yes, Xiao Suo, there is something urgent here, can you come here before three o'clock?"
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I got busy and forgot that today is a civil servant medical examination, and newcomers who have not yet joined the job must also participate. This is very urgent, and it will be completed today. I just remembered that you newcomers haven't been notified yet, and the superiors require you to participate."
"Okay, I'll come right now."
