Terra's Magnetic Field

She would never let anyone see her weak side, absolutely not! Especially in front of her own daughter, she had to maintain her dignity! !

"Who? What are you talking about?" By using his power to transform his own vocal cords, Wan can make a voice that is completely different from his own, the voice of a [strange] woman.

Since the other party used a question sentence, it meant that she had not yet confirmed her identity. Anyway, only her back was exposed, so she might as well get away with it.

He suppressed his painful expression, evaporated his tears, and used his power to change his appearance, then turned around and looked behind him.

Wan saw a girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old standing upright behind her. At first glance, she reminded her of herself in her early years. The girl had an umbrella between her arms and was wearing a black and red Gothic long skirt.

The girl's long light pink hair was slightly curled at the corners, and the accessories on her head matched the horns to create a visual effect similar to a crown. Her pale and delicate face no longer had the original plumpness and playfulness, but only gloomy maturity.

Unlike Wan's strength, the girl on the other side seemed delicate, a rare "delicate" look among the strong...

Wan and Bella, the two people with the closest blood relationship in the world, looked at each other as if they were strangers, and the mother and daughter looked at each other without saying a word.

Wan saw a tall blond Kuranta man following Bella. The man was wearing a black leather coat, with a dark golden arm armor on his right arm and a sword on his left waist. He stood silently beside Bella, like a knight serving a princess.

The man looked very unhappy, with a frown on his face, giving people a feeling of depression. This reminded Wan of a man who made her particularly unhappy. She often asked that man to follow her back then.

Bella looked at the [strange] woman opposite her expressionlessly. How could this sudden disguise fool her? She understood everything, whether in the past or now... She was sensible and didn't have the heart to expose her mother's cheap tricks.

In order to maintain the remaining dignity of the downtrodden woman opposite, Bella decided to act with her. She said:

"Ah... I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Your back reminded me of my deceased mother."

"Really?" Wan sighed. She suddenly became curious and asked:

"That's right... I'm a little curious about what kind of person your mother is..."

Bella still had no expression on her face. Perhaps because she had overacted when she was a child, she seemed to have overdrawn her smile as an adult. Those experiences in her childhood made her very disgusted with deliberately pleasing others. Since she was asked this question, she said bluntly:

"Alas... She was a very annoying person. My sister, I and other people around me all hated her, but she had no self-awareness. Fortunately, she has passed away and will never appear in front of me again."

When Bella said this, the blond man beside her glanced at her and remained silent. The man's lips trembled, as if he was about to say something profound, but he couldn't open his mouth.

“…Is that so…” Wan felt very disappointed after hearing this. Her heart ached more than before. She had never experienced such pain before, nor had she ever experienced it before.

In the past, her sisters would never say such things to her, and even Xi, who had the worst relationship with her, would never be so hurtful. She had other children and descendants, but no matter if they were thousands, hundreds, or even tens, they would never treat her like this.

If it were in the past, Wan would have taken action to educate Bella who said this, but she can't do it now because her mentality has changed.

At this moment, Wan Zhen has truly become the strongest person in the world. After Xiao Er died, she regained her strength in a younger state after resurrection and can fear nothing. Now she can kill anyone in the world who dares to disobey her, take anything she wants, and sleep with anyone she wants. This should have made her satisfied and happy, but the feeling of happiness did not appear.

Kal'tsit was like this then, and it is like this now. Is unhappiness the curse that the strongest person in the world must bear?

She already knew that even if she beat Bella down and forced her to surrender, she would still not gain anything...

In the past, she could use her power to seize everything and force everyone to like her and flatter her, but at this moment, the omnipotent power could no longer do anything.

When she lost the privilege of power, Wan was nothing but a failed mother...

Maybe this pain is God's punishment for her evil deeds...

Without continuing to speak, Wan stood up, turned his back to the two people behind him, and said calmly:

"Then I will leave. I am no longer welcome here..."

Then, just like when he left Kal'tsit, Wan's figure disappeared in a flash. This speed is something that only a few people in the world can possess. It seems that Wan no longer wants to hide his identity.

Since her daughter didn't welcome her, she didn't need to put on a show.

On the calm and peaceful coast of Colombia, a person came over, yet seemed to have never been there...

"You really shouldn't talk to her like that. She is at least your elder," the blond man next to Bella said, "It would be heartbreaking for the elders to hear the younger generation talk like that..."

"Elders? Elders who make their children fight each other or even kill their children? Such people are not worthy of respect. You have no choice but to be respectful.

You need to lecture me! Remember your identity, you are just my subordinate! How can a poor knight be qualified to lecture me, the one who commands the West? ! "

Bella was furious, and the angry look finally caused a ripple on her unchanged face. The man's unintentional words hurt the most sensitive nerve in her brain.

The blond man remained silent after hearing this.

Maybe he was afraid of Bella's identity, or maybe he realized that it was foolish to persuade a daughter who had been hurt by her mother to forgive her...

After all, he is just an outsider. Since his own family affairs are a mess, what qualifications does he have to interfere in other people's family affairs?

All happy families in this world are equally happy, but each unhappy family is peculiar in its own way.

Finally, the man sighed and followed Bella back to the Rhine headquarters.

That’s all for today.

Volume 387: Chapter Chapter The Indifferent Mother-in-law

"Hmm..." Xiaodao stared at the black and white photo in his hand and frowned, his face was not happy. The photo was a little distorted, and it was suspected to be a candid photo. It was taken of an old warehouse with a barbed wire fence outside and guards.

The warehouse in this photo is the destination of their operation this time. After waking up in the morning, they marched for several hours around the civilian area and arrived here. The photo was provided by Kal'tsit, who had worked at the Ursus Research Institute. She also gave the specific location of the warehouse and the method to sneak in.

Froststar had repeated Kal'tsit's original words on the aircraft. At that time, the white rabbit had deliberately acted confidently, patted his chest, and imitated Kal'tsit's tone:

"It's an old, semi-abandoned warehouse with some obsolete military equipment piled up inside. No one cares about that place. The guards patrolling outside are just there for show. They even make extra money by reselling the equipment inside. This is not uncommon. Give them a bottle of vodka and they can take you in for a tour..."

That's what Kal'tsit said. At that time, Xiaodao watched Froststar's performance with a sense of joking, and was already thinking about what unexpected situation would happen next. This was a habit he had developed over the years of work. It seemed that the people he worked with always liked to find ways to make things go wrong.

So after being mentally prepared, Xiaodao was able to remain calm in the face of such a big mistake. He moved the photo away with a cold face and looked to the other side of the mound where they were.

About three kilometers away stood a huge building that was obviously a high-level military base, a giant tower over 40 meters high...

Outside the tower, there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every ten steps. Densely packed guards were jogging around the place, and patrol cars were driving non-stop.

The noisy quarrels echoed around Xiaodao, and the other members of the team were divided over this serious issue. The group led by Platinum advocated returning to Rhodes Island directly to make a long-term plan. She didn't want to be hacked to death by the guards; while the group led by Jeston was more conservative. Since they were already here, they should try to complete the mission. He didn't want to go back to clean the toilet.

The panic of the people around him did not infect Xiaodao, as he was already used to dealing with emergencies. He shook the photo in his hand a few times, making it make a "swish" sound, and asked Shuangxing, who was also lying on the mound next to him:

"What to do now?"

"………………", Shuangxing had no clue. In response to Xiaodao's question, she could only put on a stiff smile, took out a mini walkie-talkie from her coat pocket, and said in a business-like voice:

"Why not ask the all-knowing Dr. Kal'tsit?..."

This joke was not funny. Xiaodao did not understand Shuangxing's humor. The man's cold face remained expressionless. His two evil black eyes stared straight at Shuangxing, giving the woman goose bumps.

The quarrel among the others was still going on, and Froststar dialed the intercom in front of Xiaodao. This thing used the bad guys hovering in the sky as a transit station, connecting to the Rhodes Island signal station to achieve encrypted communication.

"ACE, please help me get through to Dr. Kal'tsit and tell her it's something urgent..."

The communicator made a noisy sound of electricity, making the atmosphere even more tense. Froststar could only pin her hopes on Kal'tsit, hoping that the omniscient lynx could come up with a solution so that she could shift the blame to him.

“…………………Zizi～…Ding…” After more than thirty seconds, there was still no response from the other end of the intercom. Although Xiaodao did not respond, Froststar was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and fill herself in it. She used all kinds of Ursus swear words to scold Kal'tsit for her negligence in her heart, and devoutly begged the lynx to answer the call as soon as possible.

More than twenty seconds passed, and after a long wait, Kal'tsit finally answered the call. All she could hear was the lynx's cold voice:

"what's up?"

"Um... Doctor Kal'tsit, there's something wrong with the photos you provided us... It's like this, when we arrived at the location you provided, we found that it was a little different from the actual location..."

Watching Shuangxing stammering, Xiaodao took out a chocolate bar from the side pocket of his backpack without blinking, and the outer packaging had a cartoon shark printed on it. This was his chocolate bar for today.

For lunch, eating high-calorie food makes him happy; he needs this sweetness to improve the bitterness of life.

Xiaodao ate a sweet chocolate bar while enjoying Froststar's performance. Although this guy still had no expression, he was happier than before.

He didn't care. If this operation ended in failure, he would evacuate with the others; if Kal'tsit's next order was for them to force their way into the tower ahead, he would not refuse.

If someone blocked their way, he would not hesitate to knock them down. If the opponent was strong enough to threaten the lives of other teammates, he would fight to the death to cover the others' retreat.

All of the above is not because he is so "great" and "selfless" or has any bullshit "dedication", he just doesn't care and doesn't care about his life and future.

Perhaps just as his little niece Qingyan said, he was indeed a person without his own opinion, and his life since childhood had made him accustomed to obeying the instructions of others.

Perhaps, after witnessing countless sufferings and sorrows in this chaotic land, he chose to give up thinking, not to think about things that would upset him, and not to make decisions that would cause him pain.

He is conservative and will only maintain the current situation and protect his blood relatives who help him make decisions, no matter how bad the current situation is, no matter how selfish and corrupt his relatives are...

Perhaps with his qualifications and current strength, he should break away from the Simuitai that has always bound him. Like other powerful people, he can occupy a region without state management, establish a title like "God of War", and become the king of the tribe there. He has the capital to do so.

If that were the case, he would be much more relaxed.

But his character doesn't allow him to do that...

In this chaotic world, power is everything. Abuse and killing may be wrong on a moral level, but it can earn the strong great respect. Wasn't it like that ten thousand years ago? Even after many years, the strong men of Terra still fear and respect her.

Having power but not abusing it, never showing one's violent and tyrannical side, bound by morality and family affection, such a person is destined to be despised and exploited by others in this chaotic world...

Xiaodao's character destined him to unconditionally accommodate the people he cared about. Even if he had stronger power than Lin in the future, he would always be inferior to her. This was not because he was stupid, but because he valued this blood relationship. In a sense, he was willing to be used by the other party.

Maybe everything is destined, helplessness and pain are the result of people who like to pester their mothers-in-law. Maybe it is destined that people like them will be restrained by strong women like Lin, Wan, and Chen Huijie in terms of personality...

That’s all for today.

Volume 388: Chapter Chapter Xiaodao's [One Leg Radar]

"What does Kal'tsit say?"

After physically mediating the internal conflict among his teammates, Huang walked over to Frost Star and sat down on the mound of dirt next to him, watching Xiaodao on the opposite side eating a chocolate bar with an expressionless face.

"She said the photo was taken ten years ago, and she didn't expect Che City to have changed so much in the past ten years... This place has not changed much since it was built, which is very unusual."

"It's quite unusual that you didn't even confirm the target's current status before taking action." Xiaodao swallowed the last chocolate bar, squeezed the packaging bag into a small ball, and stuffed it back into the side pocket of the backpack.

"Are you going to argue with me about some professional issue again?" Shuangxing asked. If Xiaodao really wanted to make things difficult for her, she would accompany him to the end, but the other party obviously didn't have the interest now and just said calmly:

"I don't care. Will fighting with you change the current situation? Even if I win, I won't get anything. What else did Kal'tsit say? Did you give any instructions on the next steps?"

Xiaodao looked diagonally across the room, and as his pupils contracted, his sight was projected several kilometers away, using his own power to strengthen his vision. This was one of the basic uses of magnetic field power. People at his level could already survey things outside the atmosphere from the surface, and Wanna level could directly sense what was happening in the deeper universe. (Xiu Shu Xiang had sensed a cosmic monster at the MAT base. Xiao Er could even sense other galaxies remotely and then strike across galaxies)

"Even the sharp blade is here..." Xiaodao discovered that the leader of the patrolling guards was Ursus's special soldier - [Emperor's Sharp Blade]

Since even the sharp blades are patrolling here, it seems that there is something hidden in the tower. No wonder he cannot use the magnetic field to detect the internal situation. The outer wall is probably made of some material that can reflect electromagnetic waves.

[Emperor's Blade], this elite warrior selected from thousands of people is the strongest soldier in Ursus. It is rumored that it is made through physical transformation and transplantation of certain foreign organs. It is comparable to the Black Cape of Yan Country and the Deep Sea Hunter of Agor...

Deep Sea Hunter...

Xiaodao looked at the ghost shark again. The woman was now kneeling on the ground behind him in a daze, her eyes dull and sticky saliva dripping from her slightly open mouth.

The images he saw when he established a connection with the woman's brain began to flash through his consciousness again. They were chaotic and blurry, making it difficult for him to understand. Forcing himself to recall them would only give him a headache.

The only thing he knew was that the woman named [Golatia] was very dangerous, and he had to be careful if he met her in the future. He didn't plan to report this to Lin or Wan for the time being, as those women were not worthy of his trust.

As far as Wan is concerned, Ghost Shark's current condition is definitely different from hers.

It doesn't matter. She must know something, about Goletia, the inside story of the deep-sea hunters...

It seemed that coming to Rhodes Island was a wrong decision. He had hoped to leave Simi Tai to get away from the things that upset and confused him, but the seemingly peaceful Rhodes Island was actually more complicated internally than the bureaucratic Simi Tai.

Although Xiaodao knew that this was not an ordinary pharmaceutical company, just understanding the complicated interpersonal relationships within Rhodes Island was enough to give him a headache.

Take Penguin Logistics for example. He still doesn't understand the relationship between Lapland and Texas. Are they lesbians or just old friends? And what is the woman codenamed Angel? Why does she always rely on her disguise? Does she like her disguise or has she seen through it? Does she want to monitor him? Who is the woman named Mostima to Angel? Is she her sister or some other relative?

And this woman, Mostima, seems to have a relationship with all the people in Penguin Logistics, and Texas is more likely to have an affair with Sora besides his old lover, Laplander? And it seems that the relationship between Exia and Mostima is not just that of elder and junior?

It's a complete mess... When Xiaodao got to know the interpersonal relationships in Rhodes Island in depth, he realized that the multi-faceted relationship of Penguin Logistics was only at the level of a novice village, and the Rhine Life Circle next door was even more chaotic.

If Penguin Logistics is the kind of romantic drama that Longmen produced 20 or 30 years ago, then Rhine Life follows the route of Columbia's adult drama. Xiaodao once wrote in his report to Lin:

"I think Seria is the classic Colombian heroine, the one who was wild in her youth but had a lot of problems in her middle age. She is now facing a mid-life crisis, her career is in trouble, and her wife and daughter (if you can use that term) are alienating her because of their life problems."

"Her wife (Homer Olivia) might have cheated on her (it's not known who she was with, but she definitely had an affair with someone else), and she herself wasn't very loyal to her feelings. I speculate that she probably had affairs with Mel, Magellan, and the White-Faced Owl... But I don't intend to treat her as Mostima of Rhine Life, because she's in too much trouble. Her life is like a pile of all the problems that humans might encounter..."

In addition to monitoring Wan, Xiaodao's mission in Rhodes Island is to regularly report to Lin on major and minor events that occur on the island, and to compile a detailed description of the interpersonal relationships on Rhodes Island for Lin.

Xiaodao had a similar experience several years ago. At that time, Lin asked him to monitor Chen Huijie who went to study in Victoria. So he went to the school opposite Chen Huijie and accompanied Chen Huijie to study for a few years, so as to observe her emotional changes.

So when he received this task from Lin, he didn't think it was too difficult. Among the three sub-tasks before going to the island, he felt that "organizing interpersonal relationships" was the easiest.

After all, what can a pharmaceutical company have? It's nothing more than who knows who, who has a good relationship with who, who doesn't get along with who. Living with Lin since he was a child has trained him to have a special skill of seeing the relationship between people at a glance.

Xiaodao can basically judge whether two people are having an affair just by looking at the details of their interactions, which is more accurate than reading minds. (Xiaodao can see data similar to galgame favorability and achievement values)

Then he got to the island, and with this special skill he started to get confused because everyone he saw seemed to be having an affair with each other.

In his eyes, as long as two people got together in Rhodes Island, no matter if they were men or women, or men or women, or people and things that were not people, there would be an unclear relationship. Such a confusing situation made him think that there was something wrong with his judgment of human affairs.

Just the relationships between the people in Penguin Logistics made him dizzy. They were basically a bunch of red threads twisted into a ball, and one of them wanted to drag him into it as well. It was unclear.

When Xiaodao first reported to Lin about the interpersonal relationships within Rhodes Island, he sorted out the part about Rhine's life, which was about 100,000 words. It systematically summarized the rumors he heard from other people and the things he had personally experienced and witnessed. It was more difficult than the damn Si Sui Tai Tianshi grade examination paper!

After finishing it, he felt like he had written a lesbian romance novel. He tried to use a rational style to describe things that sounded absurd. For example, Texas once complained to her that Lapland liked to take off his clothes and sleep in her bed when she was not at home...

When he sent Lin the 100,000-word "Penguin Logistics Love Story" in the encrypted format unique to Simitai, Lin did not reply immediately as usual. She usually sent him an emoticon to indicate that she had received it before opening it to read the report. Then more than an hour passed like this. When Xiaodao was about to turn off his phone and go to sleep, Lin replied to him:

"Anything else?" followed by a yellow-faced emoticon with watery eyes. Many elderly people like to use this.

"Ah?..." Xiaodao was stunned when he saw this sudden reply, and then thought, so Lin has been watching this thing for more than an hour? He could probably imagine Lin's big body curled up in front of the computer, staring at the screen intently.

For some reason, seeing Lin's enthusiasm for this thing, Xiaodao thought of those old ladies who like to gossip. Their daily entertainment is to watch the 8 o'clock show with complicated relationships tonight, and then chat with other old ladies the next day.
