The Final Story of Miss Weird
Page 172
Night falls.
...........
In stark contrast to the remote Golden District, Victoria, the most prosperous London district, was still brightly lit, and even the performance at the Victoria Opera House had not yet ended.
However, as the manager of the entire opera house, Fiona did not stay in the office as usual, but returned to her room.
Unlike what most people imagine about Fiona, the place she lives in is quite simple, with only a bed and a dressing table.
Even the bedside table was just a small table with a candle on it that had been refilled with oil countless times.
This is not because Fiona is deliberately frugal and suffers, it is just a habit she has had for many years.
Fiona sat in front of the dressing table, gazing at the long-handled musket sacrificial vessel on the table with tender eyes, and gently touched it with her fingers. But at this moment, she seemed to think of something and sighed slowly.
Even though Fiona heard from Miss Luo Ling that Lina might still be alive, it was still hard for her to believe. The main reason was that she hadn't come back in several years... She really couldn't understand it.
Soon, Fiona's expression lost its tenderness and became more serious.
She took out a sacrificial vessel that looked like a lamp. When the lamp was lit, the whole of Victoria seemed to have lost something unconsciously at this moment.
Yes...
Fiona's presence is missing.
She briefly disappeared from Victoria's past and history. At this moment, the "Society of Destiny" only had two great constellations. Even in the records of the "Hunting" team, the captain had become Frick.
Although there are still many inconsistencies, it is difficult to notice these changes in a short period of time.
...including the "pioneer" philosophers and the "company" old men.
"Next...it's time to see the results of this period of time." Fiona took out another sacrificial vessel - as the leading weapon refiner in Victoria, the thing Fiona has the most is sacrificial vessels.
This sacrificial vessel contains Fiona's findings from the past half month. Because the information involved extremely serious aspects, Fiona did not want to be exposed to the gazes of other beings.
Fiona was unable to investigate the facts and the truth before because of resistance from many parties, which made her like a headless fly, unable to find even the slightest clue, let alone identify the real culprit.
It was not until Luo Ling brought the key information that Fiona finally got the initial clue, and the next step was the process of unraveling the mystery.
Fiona's position is very high. Given the information she has access to, she is sure to obtain much more intelligence during the investigation than Luo Ling could through surveillance alone, especially many facts that have been deliberately buried.
Under the cover of the lamp sacrificial vessel, Fiona began to check.
"As expected..."
After reading some information, Fiona curled her lips into a slight sneer and looked out the door with a stern look.
There are also shadows of other major constellations in this. Although they did not take direct action, sometimes standing idly by is another form of accomplice.
The three constellations of the "Fate Society" do not have a leader, and the leadership of the entire organization maintains the most delicate balance. However, Fiona's unique talent in refining makes her more likely to be supported by members, and her say gradually exceeds that of the other two.
Of course, as members of the "Fate Society", they did not attack Fiona directly. They just did not tell her when they found some clues.
The result was the tragedy of the "hunting" team.
The "Hunter" team was almost the most outstanding elite team in Fiona's hands. The annihilation of the entire team was a huge loss for Fiona. In addition, after all the running around over the years, the other two major constellations had completely overwhelmed her in terms of internal voice in the "Destiny Society".
However, the "Fire Envoy" is not a monolithic organization either. This operation is very confidential and not many people know about it. It is only the plan of one leader and several senior officials.
It's very simple. Once this matter is exposed, the "Fire Envoy" will also face great pressure.
Even so, the "Fire Granter" also paid some price.
"How cruel, Lin Jianming..."
There was a hint of fierceness in Fiona's eyes. She was not the kind of person who would not fight back when being bullied.
As for who it was that made her unable to find out anything...
——Everyone.
Also includes the "Destiny Society".
No one wants the truth of this matter to come to light, except one mother.
"Just wanting to save the world purely seems to be impossible..."
Fiona looked at a photo on the dressing table. In the photo, young Lina had a funny stern face, and behind it was Fiona's gentle smile.
"Lina...this world is like this, it's so hard for us." Fiona let out a long sigh.
In addition to these, there is also some more fragmented information.
After Fiona took out the remaining things that might be related to what happened that year, she inexplicably felt that there must be some kind of connection between them.
After reading it carefully, one thing flashed through Fiona's mind.
This is what Luo Ling told her.
"Back then, Victoria was about to experience a forbidden disaster called "eternal life."
"Wait, this..."
Fiona suddenly had a terrible guess. She took out all the information and after connecting them one by one, her guess was completely confirmed.
“It turns out…it’s really like this!”
Fiona covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
"The disaster of "eternal life" that year was planned by "the company", and..."
Fiona seemed to realize something and quickly stopped the thought that was about to emerge.
She must not show up. Even if she just shows up... she might be noticed, even though she is now in a state of being "forgotten" by the whole of Victoria.
Once discovered... you will be killed.
The directors were desperate, no matter what means they used, no matter what the cost... they had to kill her as soon as possible.
They have the strength.
Because the fact that this thought cannot even come to mind is an absolute taboo for the "Company".
Fiona simply took out a small wooden hammer and hit her head with it to erase the memory, but she still felt very uneasy.
She knew...it might be too late.
Moreover, this matter must not be concealed by the "company" any longer.
"Leave a message for Miss Luo Ling first."
Fiona took a deep breath.
But in the next moment, the candle went out.
Everything in the room fell into silence.
Chapter 5 The Value of Sacrifice (5k)
The next morning.
Luo Ling came to the "company" Wellington office to accept a commission as usual, but met a rare guest.
The person in charge of the office is Lu Fangling, who is Lu Manqing’s mother.
When the team was still selecting today's commission, Lu Fangling walked up to them with a complicated expression and called out, "Student Luo Ling."
"Hmm?" Luo Ling turned around and said in surprise, "Grandma Lu, long time no see."
"Mom, why are you here?" Lu Manqing leaned over and asked, "Are you planning to start a hidden mission for us?"
Lu Fangling ignored her daughter who was always talkative, looked straight at Luo Ling, and told him a shocking news indifferently.
"Last night, Ms. Fiona disappeared."
"Ok?"
Luo Ling was slightly stunned, but his expression soon darkened.
She knew that Aunt Fiona had been secretly investigating what happened that year, and that the intelligence network throughout Victoria had captured Fiona's presence several times.
Of course, Fiona was very cautious. With her status and strength, and with Luo Ling also using the intelligence network to help cover her tracks, there was no way that anyone else would notice her actions.
Unless this...
There is also a secret that even Luo Ling doesn't know.
But at this time, Eve beside him tugged at Luo Ling's clothes and asked in a low voice with a gossipy look on her face,
"Who is this Ms. Fiona? Why is it that the director is personally discussing this information with you?"
"Ah? Eve, how come you... don't know him?"
Luo Ling's expression flashed a bit strangely, "Aunt Fiona is the great star sign of the "Destiny Society", didn't you see her when she came to see me before?"
"Really? I don't have any impression..."
Eve scratched the back of her head, thought carefully for a while, then patted Luo Ling on the back and said, "I think you remembered it wrongly. There is no lady among the two big stars of the Fate Society. Aren't they all uncles?"
"...What?"
Luo Ling was slightly stunned, and his eyes shifted slightly to look at the other teammates behind Eve.
Including Elsa, everyone's eyes were confused. Elsa even came over secretly and asked nervously for some reason, "Ms. Luo Ling, where did you meet an aunt..."
"That's the problem, Commissioner Luo Ling."
At this moment, Lu Manqing spoke slowly, her sharp eyes full of solemnity, "Most people have lost the memory related to Ms. Fiona. She has been 'forgotten'.
"Thankfully, you still remember."
Luo Ling was silent for a while, then asked, "Grandma Lu, you came here specially, so you must want to tell me more than just this news, right?"
"Of course, the directors of the Company take this matter very seriously. After all, she is a top-level expert who can use power. Her safety is not only important to the internal affairs of the Fate Society, but also to all of humanity."
Lu Fangling said in a deep voice, "You have a close relationship with Ms. Fiona. The director wants to ask if you know her whereabouts and whether you met her before she disappeared?"
For some reason, when talking about the close relationship, Luo Ling always felt that the strength with which Elsa held her arm seemed to be slightly heavier.
"I don't know." Luo Ling shook his head and said, "I have been carrying out commissions with the... team during this period and have not met Aunt Fiona."
No matter what, I can't just say this embarrassing team name out loud...
And it was Lu Fangling’s daughter who gave the name.
"It's no use telling me," Lu Fangling sighed and said, "I'll just say it straight, the director wants to see you."
Hearing this, Luo Ling's heart sank instantly. She vaguely realized that Aunt Fiona's disappearance might be related to the director of the "company".
Could it be that Aunt Fiona's investigation results during this period showed something unfavorable to the "company" or the directors?
But if that's the case, I can just make Aunt Fiona disappear quietly. There doesn't seem to be any need to come and inform me...
Several thoughts flashed through Luo Ling's mind, but he quickly responded, "Do you need me to rush to the headquarters now?"
"No need. The director is already waiting for you in the conference room." Lu Fangling made way for Luo Ling and said softly.
"thank you, I know now."
Luo Ling nodded slightly, gave Elsa a look that told her not to worry, and walked towards the meeting room.
However, just as she passed by Lu Fangling, Luo Ling suddenly felt a small, gentle breeze by her ear, transmitting a slight vibration to her eardrum.
It was Lu Fangling's voice.
"I'm sorry, Miss Luo Ling, Fiona... should have died. Please accept my condolences."
Hearing these words that were so soft that they were barely noticeable, Luo Ling's pupils instantly contracted slightly.
However, she quickly calmed down her emotions and continued walking towards the meeting room as if she had heard nothing, though her steps were a little hurried.
.......
After a knock on the door, a cold voice came from the conference room.
"Please come in."
With a creak of the door hinge, Luo Ling walked into the conference room. At this moment, the complicated expression on her face had been completely concealed, leaving only the usual calmness.
She had been to the top-level conference room in Wellington once before. It was a joint interview of three companies when she first arrived in Victoria. In addition to Lu Fangling representing the "Company", there were also Fiona from the "Fate Society" and Lin Jianming from the "Fire Master".
Thinking about it now, only a few short months have passed, but it seems that everything has changed.
Even Aunt Fiona might have...
