Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"How's it going?"

Moriarty had just returned to the city from outside, and he immediately called Natasha over to ask her what had happened here.

"As I informed you, Director, Yehe suddenly held the "Final Stage Competition."

Natasha, who was mentally prepared, began to explain to Moriarty in detail what happened that night.

“His competition item is that whoever brings Gracia Ashley to him ‘willingly’ and ‘unharmed’ will be the winner.

【Brutal Witch】Latis defeated all opponents and completed this event.

But she did not immediately take away the 100 million bonus that Yehe promised her. I am not sure what she did with the bonus and where she used it.

Then the six women around Ye He brought back [Frog Disaster] and [Lord of the Snow Mountain].

But I don't know if the three women accepted Ye He's new mission, and they quickly left with the two women. "

Having said this, Natasha paused and indicated that this was everything that happened that night.

Moriarty didn't need to think at all and immediately asked Natasha:
"Where did the last women go together?"

His question immediately made Natasha look embarrassed:
"Um...they were taken away from the sky by the woman who could control the storm and the air...

We haven't received any news about their whereabouts from our spies yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I get their latest intelligence!"

"Ah."

Moriarty responded to Natasha with a noncommittal snort, and did not hold Natasha accountable for her poor performance.

"What about the remaining women?" he continued to ask Natasha:

"Where are the other women, including that [Cruel Witch]?"

"Except for Gracia who has already gone back, the other ladies are drinking with Ye He in the pub."

Natasha answered Moriarty's question, and she thought one more thing in her heart: "I also want to drink with Ye He..."

"What did you say?! Say it again?!"

But she was immediately startled by Moriarty's raised voice and almost stuttered:

"She...they are in the pub, drinking with Ye He..."

"No, not this one! The one before that! You said Gracia Ashley went back?"

Moriarty's eyes widened, but his gaze was not focused on Natasha at all.

"Uh, yes... and Ms. Gracia and her subordinates packed up their things and left the city... Chief, is there something wrong with her?!"

Natasha immediately showed a look of willingness to go through fire and water for Moriarty:

"They're not walking fast! I'm going to catch them right now!"

"No!"

Moriarty reached out to stop Natasha, then looked at the empty space and muttered to himself:
“It’s so strange… How could Ye He let Gracia go so easily?

He should have valued Gracia's wisdom... Oh, did you find out the content of her conversation with Ye He after they met?"

"Um... they met in that pub where you told us not to even step into that street, so..."

Sometimes Natasha even suspected that Ye He and Moriarty were playing a double act and teasing her together. Otherwise, why could they maintain so much "understanding"?

"... Weird... No, that's not good! Graves!"

Moriarty fell into deep thought again, but he soon grasped the key point with his eyes lighting up, and immediately took out a doll that he carried with him.
In front of Natasha, he used this doll-shaped magic tool to send a direct contact request to Gustav.

Half a minute later, there was a response from Gustav.

The President's voice came from the mouth of the doll-shaped magic tool in Moriarty's hand:
"It's so late... Is there something urgent?"

"Sir, it's Graves! Graves' daughter convinced Ye He! Ye He agreed to help her save Graves!"

Moriarty's words made Natasha a little confused. She didn't understand how Moriarty came to this conclusion.

Although this is correct and true, the brains of these smart people... are too scary, right?
"..."

Gustav fell silent, and after several minutes his voice came again:
"Are you sure? Apart from our [Body Replacement], the only way to remove the [Soul Curse] is to [Baptize] someone with a large amount of Water of Life. Are you willing to pay such a huge price?"

"I'm sure it must be like this! Listen to me, Ye He met with Gracia tonight!
Moreover, Ye He used a method that was almost coercive to force a meeting with Gracia... one that was not under our supervision!

With Gracia's wisdom, it's not surprising that she persuaded Ye He. The point is that I have a hunch that Ye He will not stop easily!

I would like you to make a decision as soon as possible. Do you want to listen to me and start [Plan A]? ! "

After Moriarty finished speaking these somewhat illogical words in a hurry, Gustav remained silent for nearly ten minutes.

Then Natasha heard the great president sigh and say to Moriarty:

"Okay... let's start it..."

"Got it! I'll go get ready then!"

Moriarty showed an extremely excited expression, as if something he had been looking forward to, a dream, had suddenly come true.

"You continue to keep an eye on Ye He, but remember to save your own life. Don't worry about anything else. When I come back, I will reward you!"

……

"He left after saying this, and left the city in one breath. Unfortunately, I don't know what the [Plan A] they are talking about is."

Near the early hours of the morning, Natasha told Ye He at the back door of the tavern everything Moriarty had said, including his conversation with Gustav, word for word.

Ye He, with his upper body naked, touched his chin, his eyes brighter than ever.

His mind was almost filled with the urge to find Moriarty immediately and ask him to tell him all about the very interesting-sounding [Plan A].

But Moriarty's whereabouts are not so easy to grasp, even though Ye He will attach a part of Caesar to Moriarty's body through Natasha.

But in this part, Caesar would always be suddenly "left behind" by Moriarty and left behind shortly after Moriarty left the city.

So Ye He didn't know where Moriarty was going to prepare his [Plan A], and for the time being he had no way of getting a glimpse of the true nature of [Plan A].

"Huh...this is really interesting...I haven't been so impatient in a long time..."

In front of Natasha, Ye He muttered to himself.

Natasha felt helpless because Ye He was not worried about the danger of [Plan A], but was simply looking forward to the realization of this plan.

This is really your style... All it takes is fun...

"Cough." Suddenly, a cough was heard from the entrance of an alley not far from the two of them, deliberately trying to attract their attention.

"who?!"

Natasha almost jumped up in fright at the cough. If this person told Moriarty that she was actually a double agent, wouldn't she be finished?
But Ye He didn't even look in that direction, because he had already noticed the existence of this person.

In addition, this was not the "first time" that he discovered that Natasha was on his side, but for some purpose, he had not publicized this truth.

"Um... Good evening? Or should I say good morning? Mr. Deputy Director..."

The man hiding at the entrance of the alley did not show up, but Natasha immediately recognized his voice.

"Wesker?!"

Wesker, whose identity was exposed, finally walked out from the alley entrance and nodded to Natasha with a smile.

"It's me, Deputy Director. By the way, good morning, Mr. Ye He."

"You...who are you?"

Natasha always felt that this subordinate was weird. Wesker was capable, but he was always lazy and unwilling to try his best!
In the past, Wesker had deliberately contradicted himself, but only after he discovered that he was appreciated by Moriarty did he start to be more respectful to him.

But Natasha would not accept the loyalty of someone who was trying to step on her to get to the top, so she always ignored Wesker.

There is no shortage of capable people in their industry, and loyalty is the most important thing.

The most dangerous is the killer who can't figure out his target. The scariest is the spy who doesn't know who he is working for!
"Me? Deputy Director, I'm Wesker? Your subordinate, Wesker, hehe."

Wesker still had a playful look on his face, but Natasha couldn't laugh at all.

She looked at Ye He, asking for help with her eyes.

What kind of help? Of course, the kind that got Wesker killed in the line of duty.

"He is a spy planted by the Infinite Eyes in the Public Eyes, but he is actually just a second-hand intelligence dealer. He can be responsible for both parties at the same time, and can also sell out both parties at the same time."

As soon as Ye He opened his mouth, he revealed Wesker's true identity, which made Wesker purse his lips immediately.

To be honest, Ye He didn't have any special feelings towards information dealers like Wesker. This was just a way of making money.

It’s just that Wesker’s “Tao” is based on his constant betrayal and rebellion against the forces he belongs to.

Such people will sooner or later become public enemies, or lose their sense of their own social value due to the complete blurring of their identities.

“Who do you work for now?”

Ye He finally looked at Wesker. What was interesting was that he had just said that Wesker was a spy planted by the Infinite Eye in Everyone's Eyes, but now he asked who Wesker was working for.

"The lady who paid me is named Zheng Yumei. Mr. Ye He should know her."

Wesker answered Ye He's question honestly. Zheng Yumei is a member of the Infinite Eyes, but in fact she should obey Ekaterina more.

So Yehe can understand that Wesker is currently working for Ekaterina.

"You came out this time to sell me information about [Plan A]?"

Ye He asked again why Wesker suddenly exposed himself.

Wesker nodded to Ye He:
"Yes, I think Lord Yehe will agree to my deal. My information is very cheap, only 500,000 federal coins."

Half a million?
Natasha was stunned for a moment and looked at Wesker in disbelief.

Ye He is so interested in Plan A. If Wesker really has information about Plan A, Ye He would pay even if he offered 5 billion, let alone 500,000.

"Only worth 500,000? That's just basic information, right? Okay."

But Ye He snapped his fingers without hesitation, causing stacks of federal currency bills to fall from the silver ripples and stack neatly on a wooden box beside him.

There are 50 stacks of 100-denomination bills, totaling 500,000.

"That's great. Hehehe, Mr. Deputy Director, you shouldn't mind me making a little extra money, right? Don't worry, your relationship with Mr. Ye He... I wouldn't dare sell this information even if you gave me three lives."

Wesker skillfully took out a purse, put all the cash in it, and then laughed at Natasha who had been looking at him coldly.

Unfortunately, Natasha didn't appreciate it at all. She firmly believed that only the dead would not reveal secrets.

"What a dangerous look...Mr. Ye He, are you going to do nothing about it?"

"I never take care of my woman."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Well, I will try my best not to die."

"Talk about intelligence."

"OK……"

A few minutes later, Wesker disappeared deep into the alley.

Natasha really wanted to follow and deal with the danger before coming back.

"No need to go, you can't beat him, he has the strength of the peak of the eighth level."

Ye He's reminder calmed Natasha down immediately. She looked at the depth of the alley indignantly, then turned back to discuss with Ye He:

"Lord Yehe, do you want to believe what he said? What about "relics of the golden age", "humanity's highest pursuit of gold and the crystallization of wisdom"... Do you think this is human language?"

“…It’s Alchemy.”

Ye He's thoughts were no longer on Wesker. He suddenly uttered a word starting with "A", leaving Natasha stunned.

"Alchemy? Ah... is that what he is talking about? But isn't this a superstition that has long been debunked... just a kind of "ancient witchcraft"? "

"No, I'm afraid this is [Plan A]!"

Although Ye He didn't know much about the history of this continent, he understood a little bit of the concept of alchemy!

This is all thanks to Selena. When Ye He brought books out of the library in Eternal Night City for Selena, Selena specifically asked Ye He for many books related to alchemy.

Because most of the secrets about "human origins" collected by the people of the Zodiac Library involve alchemy.

"The book says... the end point of alchemy is the ultimate secret technique that can even achieve [human body alchemy] and [angel alchemy]..."

Ye He suddenly remembered a sentence that Selena said casually.

So... that's how it is...
