"Ah, yes, how did you know?" Luo Ling took out his work card and said, "I want to find this..."

Just then, she saw that the servants all had the same work cards hanging around their necks.

There's just no token.

"Because you don't seem to know," the attendants replied respectfully, "the Victoria Opera House originally belongs to the Fate Society."

......

"I'm sorry, Miss Luo Ling, to invite you over in this way."

Fiona, wearing a lavender evening dress, sat next to Luo Ling. Next to her tall and proud figure, even Luo Ling looked a little smaller.

On the stage, several opera singers were performing an opera, while the nobles below were enjoying the performance with rapt attention.

Of course, some of them were sleeping.

The melodious and beautiful singing was accompanied by elegant classical music. The atmosphere in the opera house was quite elegant. Unfortunately, Luo Ling was one of those who was not very interested in it.

"Tell me, what kind of work is there?" Luo Ling asked.

"...Ms. Luo Ling has a very straightforward personality."

Fiona stared at Luo Ling's expression which seemed to be flat, and spoke slowly.

"People often say that." Luo Ling shrugged.

"Okay, in that case, I won't beat around the bush. This is a request that the "company" cannot know about." Fiona took a deep breath and said, "I know you have a special identity and have many friends in the "company", but this request must not be revealed at all. I can pay a higher "price" for this."

"Ok?"

Luo Ling instantly became interested. Was it a little secret that couldn't be known by the "company"?

"The company values ​​you because you are a suspected Seventh Path Awakener, but I am different. From the beginning to the end, I have always wanted you to walk freely in the Realm of Nothingness." Fiona said in a deep voice, "I need you to find something in the Realm of Nothingness. Maybe there will be no result in the end... but the reward you should pay will not change."

"Okay, go on." Luo Ling nodded.

Fiona was silent for a while, then slowly told the whole story.

"Four years ago, Victoria experienced the 74th boundary collapse, but it was a strange boundary collapse. There were no extraordinary strange events at the time, and there was not even any foreshadowing. This boundary collapse happened suddenly, and no one was prepared.

"In this boundary collapse, the two urban areas lost one-third and one-quarter of their land respectively, and all became a void. Unfortunately, we had an elite team of six eighth-level awakeners on a mission in this place, and we lost contact with them after the collapse... We are not sure whether they are alive or dead, but it is highly likely that they have all died.

"This was the most devastating accident that the Destiny Society has ever suffered, and it is a knot in our hearts that we still cannot untie.

"We once tried to ask the 'Company' for help, but they refused, saying that the Realm of Nothingness was too dangerous. But my intuition told me that there was something else going on, because the 'Company' was profit-driven, and they had some sacrificial instruments that could allow people to temporarily travel in the 'Realm of Nothingness'. There was no problem with them doing some simple reconnaissance work, but they still chose to refuse us.

"Until you showed up, Miss Luo Ling. Now... you are the only one who can help us."

Fiona looked straight at Luo Ling, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"In order not to arouse the suspicion of the 'Company', we have never shown any interest in the Realm of Nothingness before. Even when you first joined, we did not submit any commissions to you until the 'Company' paid less attention to you.

"Now the 'Company' has evaluated you as an awakener of the 'Judgment' path, but the degree of inclination towards the 'Sin' path is higher, which basically eliminates the possibility of awakening the seventh path.

"I specially invited you here. The Victoria Opera House is the headquarters of the "Fate Society" and can definitely isolate it from the eyes and ears of the "Company".

"Our request is not complicated. If we can find them and bring them back... that would be the best. But if not, at least bringing back some relics would satisfy us.

"Even if we find nothing, our gratitude to you will not be reduced. So, Miss Luo Ling... can you promise?"

A boundary collapse that occurred four years ago.

Luo Ling thought of Iris's kingdom of God. It was indeed a quiet and peaceful evening.

But on that evening, the entire Victoria fell into a boundary collapse.

Why is it?

Moreover, the "company" seems to have a subtle attitude towards this collapse of boundaries.

Perhaps, Luo Ling already knows the best position to "rewrite reality".

However, when she thought about what the first person had said to her mysteriously yesterday...

"You will soon encounter such an opportunity."

Luo Ling felt inexplicably irritated.

"I don't want to get involved in your feud with the 'Company', but if it's just about saving people or recovering relics... I can take it, but I can't guarantee that I can complete it, please forgive me for that." Luo Ling replied.

After Luo Ling finally agreed, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was indeed a matter where the "Destiny Society" needed help from Miss Luo Ling, and the initiative was in her hands.

Just agree to it.

"Of course I know." Fiona laughed, "Do you need some support? Equipment? Or holy medicine? As long as it is something that the "Destiny Association" can do, I will meet your requirements within my responsibility."

Luo Ling thought about it and suddenly remembered something that had been worrying her before.

After thinking for a moment, she looked up and asked,

"I wonder if the Fate Society can see the forbidden stone tablet?"

"Ah? The taboo tablet is not open to the public..."

"I mean, seeing the original with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Fiona frowned slightly and said,

"If it's like this... 'Heavenly Speaker' should be able to do it. I do have a favor from 'Heavenly Speaker' that I can pass on to you. But I have to remind you that it's a bit of a waste to do so because it doesn't make any sense."

"This is just a small request that can be easily fulfilled. In this case, Miss Luo Ling, I will give you another "high-risk and strange" sacrificial vessel."

Chapter 5: The Wrong "Falling in the Net", the Flowing Time (k)

"A 'high-risk and strange' sacrificial vessel..."

Luo Ling couldn't help but be amazed. Are all the people from the "Destiny Society" so generous?

The year-end bonus that Cen Xiangyun had been dreaming about was just a "dangerous and strange" level sacrificial vessel, and it was also a hairpin made of leftover materials, but she treasured it to the extreme.

However, from Fiona's expression, Luo Ling caught some clues.

This should not be a reward from the "Fate Society", but just a personal gift from her.

if it is like this...

"Excuse me," Luo Ling asked, "Who is in this missing elite team..."

"The captain of this team is my daughter."

"Oh..."

Before Luo Ling even asked the question, Fiona answered it generously.

This matter is no secret in the "Destiny Society", which is why Fiona is so concerned about it.

However, Ms. Fiona looks to be in her early thirties. Is it possible that even her daughter is already an eighth-level awakener?

The age of a high-level awakener is really unbelievable...

Luo Ling suppressed the slight ripples in her heart and whispered,

"In that case, thank you Ms. Fiona."

"No, Miss Luo Ling, I should be the one thanking you."

Fiona's gaze slowly turned toward the opera stage in the distance. She listened to the actors performing the joys and sorrows with all their might, and gradually immersed herself in the beautiful and sad singing.

......

While waiting, as a member of the "fortune teller", Luo Ling took a tour of the Victoria Opera House and felt that rich people in any era were good at having fun.

The "Fate Society" has always been walking in the world as a performance troupe.

Recalling what happened during the day, Luo Ling asked a few questions and found that although some ordinary people knew about the awakened ones, most of them still could not have a deep understanding of the various organizations of the awakened ones.

In other words, ordinary people should not know that Luo Ling is a "fortune teller" just by looking at her necklace.

So, what about Miss Odetta?

Of course, if there is any connection, it must be related to the "Fate Society". Luo Ling was just curious and had no intention of investigating it further.

It was just a chance encounter, and I guess we will never see each other again in this life.

After a while, Fiona delivered the information required for this commission, as well as a high-level sacrificial vessel that she personally gave to Luo Ling.

A hairpin made of a mysterious dark blue crystal with some starlight dotted on it. Even if we ignore its function, it is still a very outstanding piece of jewelry.

It is even more beautiful than the one that Cen Xiangyun got with great difficulty.

"This sacrificial vessel is called 'Youmang'. Its specific origin is unknown because it is a trophy." Fiona handed it to Luo Ling, "Its ability is to deploy a layer of starlight shield to resist attacks from magic and spirit, but it has no effect on physical attacks."

It is a very precious life-saving sacrificial device. Fiona gave it to Luo Ling because she was worried that she, with her weak strength, might encounter some unexpected dangers when traveling in the realm of nothingness.

The dangers in the world of nothingness are most likely not physical attacks.

"Um..."

Luo Ling took the hairpin, but her expression was a little troubled because she had never used this kind of jewelry before.

Mainly for senior high school students, the most practical hair accessories are headbands and hair ties, but they don’t have time to dress up.

When Fiona saw Luo Ling's expression, she realized something.

She took Luo Ling to the dressing table backstage at the theater, untied Luo Ling's casually tied ponytail, picked up the comb and began to comb her hair skillfully.

"I used to dress Lina like this in the past. She was just like you, she knew nothing about this... she was born in the opera house."

"Although she is a little older than you, she is about the same height and even has a similar temperament, plain and quiet."

Luo Ling didn't say anything, nor did she make a sound to disturb Fiona who was lost in her memories.

She saw in the mirror that Fiona's eyes seemed a little swollen, which was not the case just now.

Perhaps, it's because in the past few years, I have finally... come to the moment where I can be sure of my daughter's life or death.

No matter what, there will always be some complicated emotions in your heart.

Finally, after taking care of Luo Ling's hair, Fiona gave Luo Ling a simple hairstyle and finally put on a hairpin.

She leaned on the back of the chair with both hands, looked at the quiet black-haired girl in the mirror, was silent for a while, and said,

"Miss Luo Ling, has anyone ever told you that you are actually pretty?"

In the past, the old-fashioned and ordinary hairstyle and the gloomy bangs always made it difficult to notice Miss Luo Ling's face. Now, after a closer look, I realized that I had missed a lot before.

“Yes, but she was looking at me through a filter.”

Luo Ling nodded, she was referring to her sister.

In her sister's eyes, she is the only different colorful color.

"So...I think I'm pretty ordinary."

"Then I am also wearing a filter now." Fiona said, holding her chin.

"Ms. Fiona, you really love to joke." Luo Ling stood up and said, "Tell the others in my team that I won't be going back for the time being."

"Why don't you go back first before setting off? It's been four years anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

Hearing this, Luo Ling's expression was a little helpless. She picked up the address and said,

"The location you specified is three suburbs away, and in a different direction from where we live. A round trip is equivalent to crossing the entire Victoria... I don't want to be bumpy on a carriage for two whole days just to say see you in a few days to my friends."

"...It seems so."

After hearing Luo Ling's words, Fiona was suddenly speechless.

She always felt that walking in the world of nothingness was an extremely dangerous thing, but to Miss Luo Ling, who possessed this talent, it seemed like just a long journey.

"Don't you want to rest here for a night?"

Fiona saw Luo Ling packing her things and asked again.

"I have rested enough in the carriage during the day. I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Finally, Luo Ling took the round-brimmed hat, gently placed it on her hair, and then bowed slightly to Fiona.

"Although I am not your daughter, I will try my best to bring back news about your daughter." Luo Ling said, then turned and left the room.

Fiona sat in the dressing room in silence for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

He was silent for a long time.
