Latio threw out a gorgeous scroll and handed it to Alex, saying, "Tell the gambler to open it and take a look when he is about to die."
"I'll pass it on."
"Then I will take my leave, sir."
Alex watched Professor Latio leave. Although Latio was from Beloberg, he also belonged to the Polytechnic Society. The company funded a lot of Polytechnics and occasionally helped the company with some things. The purpose of his trip was also to provide cover for the company.
"Although the professor is far inferior to me in terms of strength, I still feel that the professor is very majestic and handsome." Alex couldn't help but sigh. He felt that the professor was even better than the Genius Club in some aspects. He thought about this problem carefully and came to a conclusion.
Professors are more like [people].
After a while, Sha Jin walked out of the room with a bag in his hand, looking extremely bad. His bright pupils had dimmed a lot at this time. When he saw Alex, he was surprised for a moment and bowed reluctantly.
"Wait for me outside the door." Alex said to Shajin, and Sunday in the house also said, "It is rude to keep Mr. Rand waiting for so long. Please come in and discuss."
Shajin nodded, and Alex walked into Sunday's office upon invitation.
Some people's offices can reflect their personalities, like Alex's office, which is full of decorations and does not store anything related to work. Sunday's office, in addition to a photo with his sister, is mostly filled with various documents and files.
Alex glanced at the folders and read almost all of them. It was obvious that Sunday was a day to manage every detail...
Sister control.
He had seen many bluebirds along the way, and he knew that was Sunday's surveillance method. Even doing such a thing as surveillance personally was indeed very meticulous.
"Mr. Rand is here now." Unlike when he was facing the gold dust, Sunday always maintained the necessary etiquette when facing Alex. Even the things that happened to his sister did not change the expression of this manager of Pinocchio. He hid his inner thoughts very deeply. After personally pouring tea for Alex, he asked, "Are you here for the company's business?"
"Please forgive me for some things. In the eyes of the family, the company is like the stone boss in "Watch Boy". I think you can understand that in order to maintain the safety of this dreamland, we have to take some self-protection measures."
Alex looked at the two gems on the table. They were called [Cornerstones] and were derived from the Supreme Stone of the Amber King.
Although the company actually has only Fleming, Schneider and Diamond as guardians, it is not possible to support such a large plate for thousands of years with just a few people. The Strategic Investment Department has ten [Foundation Stones], which are held by the ten people of Stone Heart. They are like the mask of the Masked Fool, the belt of the Knight, and the transformation device of Ultraman. Activating the power in them will gain the power of a dan - infinitely close to the power of a real guardian.
Topaz, Gold Dust, Jade, and other names of the Ten Stone Hearts are code names that have been passed down and exist with these stones. It can be said that the [foundation] is more important than their lives.
Alex knew.
What Sha Jin wants is to conceal the truth.
To achieve his goal, he must bring the cornerstone into Pinocchio - without power, he can do nothing.
But now... it's actually a set within a set. The two pieces on the table are from [Topaz] and [Emerald]. And when there is no real [Gold Sand], he still succeeded.
only……
Can what happened on Pinocchio really be hidden from Sunday, who keeps an eye on every detail and has a strong desire for control?
Sensing Alex's almost interrogative gaze, Sunday said, "After the company's delegation leaves, I will return the precious cornerstone to the company."
"You left the power of Shipei in the body of the gold dust, didn't you?"
Alex narrowed his eyes. Just on his way here, he felt Sunday using Shipe's power to torture Shajin. Due to the agreement between him and Shipe not to interfere, he did not stop it.
The way the family communicates with the Star God is different from other forces. They have the ability to invite the gods to possess them. He now understands Tongxie and Xipei. Tongxie's messengers - sometimes they are not directed at any one target. Instead, there are a group of people who can receive blessings anytime and anywhere and exert the power of messengers.
"Yes. Because of that gentleman." Sunday pointed to the cornerstone on the table and said, "He wanted to use the cornerstone to destroy Pinocchio."
Alex felt something was wrong. As for today's incident, it was normal and proper for him to torture Sha Jin, but using Xi Pei's power to hit a time bomb on Sha Jin and pull Sha Jin into the family was another matter. It was necessary to be punished for breaking the rules, but Sunday's actions made him feel like he wanted to make things bigger.
Diamond, Topaz, and Emerald were eyeing Pinocchio, and Sunday couldn't have been unaware that as long as the gold sand was in trouble, the company's warships would rush over. He knew all this, and still used this method to deal with it, which made him feel like he was deliberately letting the company succeed.
Hippie cares about the family, but the Star Gods have their own standards. Hippie will only take action if other Star Gods take action. Moreover, Hippie has decided to hide away and avoid all risks. At most, he can only bestow some blessings. Pinoconi is just a young branch of the family, not the headquarters of the family. It is not easy to use this to fight against the company.
The most important thing is that Alex knew about the back-up plan of the gold dust, but Sunday probably also knew it. Latio has already said that the Fools are all going with the flow.
Alex was restrained from interfering with Pinocchio's affairs. No matter what the family's choice was, he could not interfere under Shipe's watch. The only thing he could do was to save his life as he had promised Shajin.
He could remove the power that Shipe left on him. Alex didn't come here for the company or family matters.
"Lord of Extinction." Alex put his doubts in his heart and said straight to the point: "The Star Train encountered someone who was suspected to be Lord of Extinction, and he also got rid of the pursuit. Does the family have any information about this matter?"
Sunday frowned and said, "Watchmaker, has even the Lord of Extinction been invited? Sending an invitation to the Extinction Gang is already an unforgivable sin, and even the Lord of Extinction is coming?"
"Not sure." Alex said, "I'm just reminding Mr. Sunday that some people are happy to sit down and play cards together, while others only want to destroy the cards and the card table. Given the control of the Oak Family over Pinocchio, you'd better conduct a comprehensive search. You can't just guard against gentlemen and not let villains go, right?"
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Rand for reminding me." Sunday said, "I will find out the truth about this matter as soon as possible. I think there are some things that I cannot hide from you. The Dream Master asked us to go all out to prepare for the Harmony Ceremony, and my sister... Oh, now there is the matter of exterminating the Great Lord."
The matter of the Extinction Lord and the "death" of the robin were separated into two events. In Sunday's subconscious, the Extinction Lord was not the murderer. He might have known who the real culprit was.
"Let's go. If you find the whereabouts of the Lord of Extinction," Alex said, "contact me directly. I will personally carry out their destruction for them."
"grateful."
Sunday watched Alex leave without changing his expression, and then picked up his sister's photo. But after a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at the corner of the room. A rose was quietly blooming and turned into a tall silver knight.
The words "silver" and "tall" always appear together in the reports I see on Sundays, and words like "smuggler" and "evil man" are associated with them. But this one today is different.
"A pure and beautiful knight?" Sunday was ready for battle. The power released from the opponent was very strong, and he deliberately released the majesty of the word "envoy".
Wait a minute, a Lingshi? A pure and beautiful Lingshi?
"Hello, Mr. Sunday." The visitor was Yinzhi. He said, "Please forgive me for not being able to enter through the main entrance. There is indeed a reason for this."
"Pure Beauty Knight Silver Branch." Sunday naturally knew that the Pure Beauty Knights were searching the entire universe for their goddess, and that the Pure Beauty Envoy had not appeared for a long time, but the existence of this person in front of him seemed to reveal something.
The pure beauty Idrila has returned.
"What are your intentions, presumptuous knight?"
"Could you please introduce me to someone, Mr. Sunday..." Yinzhi said, "Who is the real owner of Pinocchio, the Dream Master?"
…………
"Professor Latio gave you this. Open it in times of crisis."
After leaving the Oak Family's territory, Alex saw Gold Dust. He took out the things that Doctor Truth had entrusted him to pass on and said, "It doesn't look good."
"No, I have achieved my goal. I have successfully retrieved what I wanted to retrieve, and everything is almost ready. Thank you for your concern, Director."
Sha Jin picked up his handbag. Although the family withheld the cornerstone, they returned his gift money, which contained the gems he brought with him, as well as the "Sha Jin" that he had broken and mixed with ordinary gems.
He has risked everything for victory, and he knows that the company doesn't care how he achieves his goals, it only cares about the results.
All or nothing.
Alex looked at him, thought for a while and then said, "I will facilitate the trade between the family and the company. Let's put the original plan on hold."
Sha Jin looked at Alex in astonishment.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Shajin took a deep breath, feeling increasingly uncomfortable, but still followed Alex's instructions and followed him.
He had just been "punished" by Sunday using the power of the Star God, and he only had the last 17 systems. He had hoped that Alex would go out and tell the people in the company to take action after hours, but he didn't expect to hear such words.
There’s something fishy about putting all your chips on the gambling table, ready to make a desperate gamble, when suddenly the police break in and confiscate everything.
Alex took a few steps and raised his hand towards Shajin. He paused in the middle and after confirming that Xi Pei did not stop him, he gently tapped his forehead and said, "Relieved."
"You?" Shajin looked at Alex as if he had seen a ghost. That was a harmony restraint. Even if it could be lifted, it shouldn't be so easy to lift, right?
"I'll tell Diamond about it. As for the broken cornerstone, I'll go ask the Amber King for help some other day."
That's not the question. Shajin paused and asked, "Counselor, please explain."
"Although it's just a guess, I don't think Fu Xuan's speculation is wrong." Alex said: "The Lord of Extinction is lurking here, and since they dare to lurk on the same map as me, it means that Nanook will take action at any time."
No matter if Nanook really has the ability to destroy Pinocchio, or if Shipi comes out to solve the problem, the former will make the company's plan go to waste, and the latter... Shipi will appear in Pinocchio, will the company dare to touch the family?
So at this point, the company should no longer be involved in the matter here. At least, it should give up the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to swallow up Pinocchio.
"If you are still interested in Pinocchio's affairs and want to continue investigating, I won't stop you." Alex said, "But the other plan will be suspended for the time being."
"Only the starry sky above and the ideals in one's heart are enough to make people risk their lives." Alex looked at the gold dust and said, "Pinoconnie, it's not worth your life."
"..." Shajin said with a complicated expression: "My life is not as valuable as you think."
"Maybe in your own eyes, your life is just a bargaining chip." Alex said, "But there must be someone who is willing to give everything for you, even his own life. I will contact Diamond, if you want to do something, feel free to do it."
………………
On the other side, the Star Train, Luofu and Huangquan formed a common alliance, ready to uncover the truth of everything.
The current direction is naturally to find the murderer, that is, the traitor of the family.
Huang Quan was also concerned about what was happening here and wanted to uncover the truth, so he joined them.
"By the way, if we want to find the murderer, how about asking the Hound family? They have a lot of information on hand." San Yue Qi saw that everyone was thinking, and after a while, he said: "Oh, right, didn't everyone theorize that the family probably encountered death? Maybe they also have information on hand, so that we can find clues to the murderer..."
San Yue Qi was halfway through his speech when he suddenly showed a puzzled look and said, "That's not right. Since Xing said that Miss Firefly and Miss Robin seemed to have been transferred, then that monster, What's Towards Death, can't be considered the murderer, right?"
March Seven's words made Walter, Ji Zi, and Fu Xuan look over at the same time. March Seven stuck out his tongue and said, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, we can't simply judge whether the other party is good or bad based on one position." Ji Zi shook her head and said, "Don't forget, this may not be the first time it has taken action. It can be considered a murderer."
"But the murderer's purpose may not just be to kill people." Ji Zi said, "He may have other purposes."
"How about we split into two groups?" She looked at everyone and said, "One group will go to Chaolu Mansion to confirm whether there is any information about past deaths. Since the family has entrusted us to investigate, we naturally have to get some information from them. The other group will go to find the Hound Family. Xing? What's wrong?"
Xing had been thinking about something dully. When he saw everyone looking at him, he said, "I'm thinking about a question. What is the watchmaker's legacy?"
Fu Xuan: "The cornerstone of Pinocchio's dream?"
Huang Quan: "Secrets and truth?"
Walter: "Authority?"
Jizi: "Star core?"
Everyone was speculating, but San Yue Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Some kind of ability? An ability like the Clock Boy?"
Xing snapped his fingers and pointed at Sanyueqi, saying, "Yeah, I think ability counts as one of them. Didn't I tell you that I can do clock tricks and control emotions? Just like the clock boy in the cartoon turns the hour hand, I can easily adjust other people's emotions. Even though it's in a dream..."
Xing asked doubtfully: "Don't you think this ability is too incredible?"
In fact, Xing had never demonstrated this ability in front of everyone, and everyone didn't know much about what she said. Xing saw the doubt in everyone's eyes and said, "Come, I'll show you now. That... little brother Yanqing, can you help me?"
Yanqing walked up to Xing and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Everyone, look carefully. Little brother Yanqing is calm now." After Xing stretched out his hand and fiddled with Yanqing's head, a sad expression immediately appeared on Yanqing's face.
"Why am I so useless? I didn't understand a word of the discussion just now. The only thing I can do is fight. No, I didn't even agree to fight... Why am I so useless..." Yan Qing, who always pretended to be mature, suddenly started to shed tears. Fu Xuan's jaw dropped.
“You see, it’s quite useful.”
Huang Quan became interested and said, "Try it on me."
Xing looked at Huang Quan, shook his head, paused, and shook his head again.
I can’t do it. I really can’t do it.
She stood beside Yan Qing who had dropped the little pearl, crossed her arms and said, "Do you think I have already received the watchmaker's inheritance?"
"It's not clear yet, but if you encounter the Clock Boy or the doorman you mentioned in the next operation," Ji Zi said, "don't let them get away. Dream builders can weave dreams, and your ability is far superior to theirs. You can affect every individual in the dream. It seems that you are already standing at the finish line."
Chapter 314 Killing the Robin
Sometimes the truth seems to be right in front of you, but it is separated by a thin layer of fog, making it impossible to see its true face.
The Starry Sky Train team is trying to find out the truth about Pinoconi, who is in danger of death. They split into two groups, with Jizi, Walter, Sanyueqi, and Huangquan going to Chaolu Mansion to get as much information as possible. Xing, Fuxuan, and Xianzhou's friends form a team to find the hound family to inquire about the situation.
Xing looked at the composition of the team. Yanqing, Huohuo, Sushang and Qingque all seemed absent-minded. Fu Xuan kept all his thoughts to himself. Would this really work?
"By the way, does anyone here know anyone from the Hound family? It would be best if someone can speak to you."
This question startled everyone. Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "When I met Liuying, I saw a few people from the Hound family, but they left without even saying a word. What about you?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone shook their heads.
Xing said speechlessly: "Why don't we just die once."
You died before accomplishing your mission. I am very worried about the future of your fairy ship. So you are just making up the numbers?
"No." Fu Xuan looked at Xing and said, "Death is not something that can be done easily here. If you want to seek death, you will be forcibly disconnected and returned to the hotel in reality."
Xing rubbed his head with a headache. Is it not easy even to die?
"If I could go to the murder scene," Huo Huo suddenly became nervous and stammered, "Maybe I could figure out something."
"Ah!" Tail Master couldn't help but reveal himself and said, "The little girl is the judge of the Ten Kings Division. Although she is a useless guy, she can judge the life and death of others. If she is allowed to check, she can confirm the pioneer's speculation. That's it."
"Qingque, please express your opinion, otherwise I will give you more work when I go back." Fu Xuan suddenly looked at Qingque.
"I didn't expect to be involved in something like this." Qingque was helpless. She had thought that with Master Taibu here, she could just relax and not think about anything, but her leader was a bad person and forced her to use her brain. Qingque said, "Didn't we say that during the review just now? The goal is the same. The key point is who is the traitor of Pinoconi. There is no need to investigate the murder case any further."
"Then how do we find the traitor?"
