Chapter twenty-seven behind
"Is there really such a thing?"
"It really does, so you have to find a way to get a project, whether it is a star-like device or a tokamak, or a billion knives, just burn billions of knives to pretend to be studying this. In this way, if we take out this thing in the future, at least it will look like that. Of course, this is a secret, and you can't tell anyone else. If anyone else asks me about this, I will say I don't know."
Heidi's attention has been focused on moving away from the exoskeleton armor.
"This is...the technological legacy of the Second Era?"
"Shh, fool! You know that's my nonsense." The little girl said softly. "Don't worry about this, the repair of this set of mechanical armor must be completed in two weeks! Heidi, only two weeks. This is very important, and everything else must be put aside first! After completion, it is time for you to break away from the identity of a genius financier and become a new era genius scientist. You have mastered the mystery of the earth and can accurately predict earthquakes. The government of the Republic will be shameless for you, and the United States will have no choice but to do anything about you! By the way, if you have time to check your phone later, I will send you the latest news today."
“What news.”
"The family of the high school student's disappearance is filing a complaint, believing that the police are incompetent," said the little girl. "As a matter of fact, they have started to make trouble in this regard. The speed is too fast, I'm sure they have discovered something."
"What do you mean, are you leaving?"
"I've been commanding the team here for several weeks, and I can only leave the rest to you."
"Is there anything urgent?"
"Yes, a lot of urgent matters about me. The school has already questioned my absence from attendance, and the counselor is also asking me to discuss issues about life in the Republic. My mentor, Professor Armstrong, asked me to go to the frozen soil of the Great Mao Kingdom. Because he seemed to find some ancient records and wanted to discuss it with me. In addition, there is... it seems that everyone treats me as a child! Even Brother Zhang Cheng is the same. On the one hand, he thinks I can help him solve the problem, and on the other hand, he thinks I am a complete child and knows nothing about emotional life. Are men's thoughts so divided?"
"Hello, Miss Mary." A man in a uniform came over next to him, holding a report in his hand. "This is a test report... Oh, this is..." He stopped and hesitated for a few seconds. "Miss Heidi?"
This is the big boss here, the kind you can't see at a casual time. However, he has seen the boss's photos.
"It's me," Heidi replied. Her voice became calm and confident, "How is the progress?"
"Ah, everything goes well, testing, manufacturing and testing, these technologies... are amazing!"
"Who is this?" Heidi asked whispered.
"Professor Guan, the leader of the research and development team. I appointed it, but you signed it to agree." The little girl replied in a low voice. "I have established 6 groups here for different projects. Of course, the information they received is misleading, so you don't have to pay much attention to it. For example, I told Professor Guan that this thing was stolen by a commercial spy from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of the United States."
"Will he believe it?"
"Whether you believe it in your heart or not, at least you believe it verbally. That's fine."
"Mary, how can you... command so many people?" Heidi asked in a low voice. Over the past few weeks, the little girl has obviously managed this place very well.
"Of course I have practiced it!" the little girl replied. "Others can look down on me, but they can't look down on you. I just need to be suppose to be a tiger." Of course, in another world, she has done all the related things once. She must say that there are differences, that is, the difference in identity. One is the lord's fiancée, and the other is the boss's good friend. But it is essentially the same thing. Anyway, everyone believes that no matter what she does, someone will pay for it. Power is that simple.
...
"Heidi...Heidi..." The commissioner sat in his seat and repeatedly muttered the name.
All the passengers in the hotel involved, including those who died and those who were still alive (those who fled to the rooftop waiting for rescue), as well as all the employees in the hotel, were investigated in a detailed and comprehensive manner. In addition, there were miscellaneous matters such as meeting rooms. This work was complicated and complicated, and now the result was the result of the subordinates working overtime.
There is nothing to say, such as demon worship, ancient civilization research, supernatural lovers, special performance, etc. Just use a limited label to cover all the people involved in this hotel, and you will find that the final result is very obvious.
Among all the people involved, only one is suspicious: Miss Heidi who lives here under the name of an impersonation. That's right, the new star in Wall Street and the latest legend in the field of financial investment, Heidi.
She secretly moved into this hotel that was completely inconsistent with her identity and property. Not only that, she was obviously at the scene before the incident, but afterwards, she disappeared without a trace.
The hotel's surveillance systems were destroyed by armed gangsters, so there was no way to know how she left.
In addition, the holidays between her and the real messenger behind the matter, that is, Bison Bill... If others may not know, then the commissioner knows it clearly.
It turns out that Miss Heidi won. The final result of Kate's murder proves everything. And Bill wants to find an opportunity to kill Heidi... it seems that it is not incomprehensible.
Now you look back at the achievements Miss Heidi has achieved in a year, and you will find it incredible. Just one year ago, I was silent and an ordinary student in a third-rate high school (even a year off), and I had a father who lived with the dual identities of gambling and poisonous insects, relying on help from help. A year later, I shone brightly, had at least billions of dollars in wealth, and owned my own financial enterprise on Wall Street.
Even if you sign a contract with the devil... as legendary, you will not get more than this if you sign a soul-selling agreement on a piece of fiery red parchment.
Sure enough, are there any other reasons behind success?
"Are you going to see her? Or, let's send someone to try to get in touch first?"
"No, it's not suitable." The commissioner pondered for a moment. The identity of Wall Street practitioners is always more sensitive, especially in this case. "It's not suitable for us to contact us now."
"But you know, this is a shortcut!" his subordinate reminded. Although the commissioner is calm at present, the current situation of not being able to achieve results has put a lot of pressure on him. The United States urgently hopes to gain the initiative in the magic world, just like the scientific world. Moreover, this aspect is an infinitely broad virgin land for governments, and a field where one step can lead step by step.
The trouble is that as of now, the commissioner has been unable to achieve a breakthrough. In terms of manpower, he has never been able to find the second available magician except Redstone (worse facts prove that Indian witchcraft is far from being powerful in the magic world. That "magician" is much stronger than him). In terms of technology, there is still no available magic theory. Even Indian witchcraft cannot be understood for the time being.
They are now trying to crack the mystery of Indian witchcraft. But the problem is that Redstone has a great possibility that it has retained the most critical secret. You should know that the Indians do not have their own words, and they are inherited by their mouths. As long as Redstone is not mentioned, it is difficult for people outside to know the most critical secrets. Many researchers believe that this must be a skill of "breaking the window paper". Facts have proved that it is too difficult to break this layer of window paper.
But Redstone's status is now both critical and subtle. His power may not be used for combat, but it is indeed of great use. For the time being, no one dares to force him to confess or not. On the one hand, if a great wizard defects, no one can bear the consequences. On the other hand, of course, it is difficult to judge the real means of the magic world - if he curses or something, the handling personnel, or even the specialist himself, are in danger.
In short, Heidi is a much simpler goal compared to slowly getting secrets from Redstone. Even if she is a new star in Wall Street, it can even be said that because of the wealth and status she has, she is easier to compromise and explain the secrets of magic.
"I know it's a shortcut," replied the commissioner. "But the time has not come."
"But……"
"I think it's more appropriate to talk to the prisoner of the army than to discuss a deal with the new star in the Wall Street." The commissioner waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to leave. He didn't want to continue discussing this topic.
The specialist opened the office phone and called a special number. Soon, a calm male voice rang out from the other side of the phone.
"Hello, is it Mr. Redstone?" The commissioner's tone was very solemn and very polite. Now Redstone is a valuable resource for the entire United States. You can plot against him from behind, but you'd better be polite when you are in front of you. After all, no one knows where the real limit of this great wizard is. This is not good at primitive witchcraft. He knows almost everything, but he is not particularly good at almost anything.
"It's me. Are you... a specialist?" The great wizard's voice seemed a little surprised. As far as the specialist knew, the great wizard was planning a ceremony recently. It was not a ceremony in his own tribe - that kind of thing was not enough. With just a word from red stone, everything would be done by all the diligent tribesmen - but a large ceremony was held in the city.
Not for anything else, for this "gangster merger" case. The great wizard believes that there is a powerful natural spirit that is full of hostility towards humans and needs to be comforted.
However, the government does not want the "gods coming to the world" to be known to the public, so this matter has become more complicated and troublesome. So far, the great wizard has not completed the preparations for this matter. It can only be said that it has been carried out half of it. Some approvals have been passed, while others have put forward various strange demands. The same is true for funding.
The commissioner was not enthusiastic about this. He could only say that he could cooperate with the great wizard's plan, but he could not take the initiative. Although Redstone warned that once the god attacked, it would likely cause a huge disaster, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people, and it was not surprising that Redstone did not understand the ideas of government departments. For government officials, other people's children would be endless.
"It's me, I want to consult you in person." said the commissioner. "It's about that god."
"Just ask."
"What I want to ask is, what kind of power does this god have? I mean, if He was summoned by someone...how much do you know about summoning spells? How much do you know about such summoners?"
"The relationship between the summoner and the summoned creature is hard to describe." Redstone hesitated and replied. "The summoner and the summoned object are actually irrelevant. In fact, summoning is a very random thing. People without power can do anything, and summoning is a fantasy. But if a person with power engages in summoning... unless there are any special guarantees or special conditions, no one can guarantee that the summoned creature will be obedient. Of course, if the summoner himself holds this idea, or he has only a little understanding of the relevant rituals, then it is not surprising that he summoned anything, including the gods."
"That is, do you think the natural spirit is very likely to be summoned?"
"Yes, that's what I think. The second possibility is that the gods were suddenly born there... I don't deny this possibility, but it's much smaller than the first one."
"In other words, as long as you have a little power, no matter how strong or weak the power is, there is a possibility of summoning the gods?"
"In our tradition, that's what it means. Of course, this aspect is also a taboo for wizards. It's stupid to summon creatures that you can't control at all. It's meaningless and dangerous."
"I would like to propose a hypothesis: If it is a life-and-death juncture, is it feasible to use this method to fight to the death...?"
There was a long silent place. "If you are desperate, you have no choice... it is feasible. It is indeed possible to summon a powerful existence, and you may have the opportunity to use this powerful existence to take advantage of the troubled waters. Maybe your guess is correct."
"I would like to ask you - of course I didn't mean to ask you - can you summon?"
"Yes, I can. The contact between a wizard and a spirit of nature can be understood as a summoning itself. But this summoning is controllable and without danger."
Hang up the phone there, Hongshi turned his head and sighed softly.
Anticus has been sitting in meditation for a long time by his side. But perhaps because his emotions are not stable enough, he has never been able to enter a psychic state. Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, he... is obviously too excited.
