The Final Story of Miss Weird

“I’ve met the director.”

Luo Ling bowed slightly.

There was only one figure in the meeting room, the woman who was sitting on the sofa in the cabin at that time.

She was still the same as the last time we met, wearing a gorgeous fur coat that was a favorite of upper-class ladies, and her young face was covered with a pair of chain-link gold-rimmed glasses that looked a bit old-fashioned.

"There's no need to be so polite, just be casual."

The woman motioned for Luo Ling to sit in front of her, and then asked directly,

"Student Luo Ling, have you been in contact with Ms. Fiona in the past month? This is very important to us. Maybe we can find the missing Ms. Fiona."

She stared at Luo Ling intently, her beautiful eyes behind the lenses showing a bit of anxiety and worry.

"I don't."

Luo Ling shook his head, and a hint of sadness could not be concealed in his indifferent expression.

This is not acting, but rather the result of Luo Ling's restraint.

When Luo Ling heard the news from Lu Fangling, he immediately called upon the spores located in the Victoria Opera House.

But for some reason, these spores lost their effectiveness, or more precisely... disappeared, and Luo Ling could no longer sense their presence.

It was unknown what force destroyed them all in an instant, and even Luo Ling did not notice anything unusual.

This situation can only mean that... the person who attacked at that time was too powerful. Although I don't want to believe it, I'm afraid... what Grandma Lu secretly told me is most likely true.

Who killed Aunt Fiona?

...It seems like anyone could be involved.

But at this moment, Luo Ling could only show a little sadness and could not do anything.

The woman stared at Luo Ling for a while before saying,

"Student Luo Ling, don't worry too much. Ms. Fiona is just missing. With her strength, there are not many people in Victoria who can kill her... Even among the strange forces, only the top agents are qualified."

"Hmm...Thank you Director, I understand."

Luo Ling nodded, and some of the emotions disappeared from her face.

"Have you told her what we talked about at that time?"

Suddenly at this moment, the woman asked unexpectedly.

At the same time, Luo Ling felt that her voice was completely out of control for a moment, and she almost spoke out the first thought in her mind.

"Never said that."

"...Very good, Luo Ling, you kept our promise."

Hearing Luo Ling's answer, an indescribable look flashed across the woman's face. She nodded slightly and said,

"However, I still want to remind you that some knowledge itself is poisonous. The more you know, the better. Ignorance is often a blessing... I believe you will understand this clearly."

What he meant was that what was discussed at that time could only be known by Luo Ling, and if she told anyone else...it might not be very friendly to others.

So, could it be that the director of the "company" killed Aunt Fiona because of these things?

But the board of directors of the "company" told him directly without restriction, and they must have anticipated that Luo Ling would reveal the situation to others in private, and it was impossible for them to go to the point of killing a high-level awakener who could use power.

Also, if this is the case, there is no need to ask her the question just now.

Luo Ling knew very well that she had been inevitably drawn into the vortex of the impending Victorian storm, and the first victim might be Aunt Fiona.

"I understand." Luo Ling nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If Aunt Fiona has any news, please tell me as soon as possible."

"Of course, Luo Ling." The woman nodded, and her figure gradually dimmed. "If you have anything else to tell us later, just come to the headquarters.

"Goodbye."

The woman's shadow completely disappeared, but Luo Ling still stood there, with a look of indifference.

After a moment, a barely perceptible strand of white silk fell from behind her head and disappeared into thin air.

The blocked memories flooded back into Luo Ling's mind, and the unconcealable self-blame once again hit her heart, and the black-haired girl's eyes were filled with crystal clear colors.

"Perhaps, it's because I told Aunt Fiona the truth that she..."

Before entering the meeting room, Luo Ling had already anticipated that the directors might search her memory, so she sealed this part of her memory into her hair in advance.

No matter what means the director used, the only result he could get from Luo Ling was "he had never had any contact with Fiona recently."

It was not until this moment when he recalled everything and combined it with the woman's behavior that Luo Ling roughly guessed why Aunt Fiona had died.

But... maybe he hasn't died yet.

The behavior of the "company" directors is quite abnormal, and the specific situation remains a mystery.

When walking out of the conference room, Luo Ling had already hidden all his sadness deep in his heart.

At the same time, throughout Victoria, the intelligence network belonging to the "White Witch" was put into action, trying to find even the slightest clue.

"At least...I have to see Aunt Fiona, even if it's just her corpse."

.......

In the cabin, the figure of a woman slowly appeared, and next to her were an old man and a young man who were waiting for the result.

But...the old man and the young man looked very weak at this moment, as if they had suffered some serious injuries. That was why they did not follow the woman to the conference room to meet Luo Ling.

"She knows almost nothing about it, and probably...she hasn't revealed anything about the 'forbidden' disaster to anyone else." The woman said simply.

"Heh... It's a little different from what I expected." The old man said slowly, "But even if this girl is a big mouth, it doesn't matter if I tell Fiona. The only thing I'm afraid of is..."

At this point, the old man's cloudy eyes had a little more brilliance, "People who shouldn't know know more than just these truths."

The reason why the information about the "forbidden" disaster was directly told to Luo Ling was because it was not an absolute secret. The "pioneer" and several awakened people who participated in it back then were all well aware of it.

but...

If other secrets were uncovered from the truth of that year and combined with this incident, coupled with the knowledge of Victoria, it would be very likely that the key secrets that had been under long-term surveillance by the elders of the "Company" and the philosophers of the "Pioneers" would be touched upon.

The old man and the philosopher both set up a barrier throughout Victoria, spending unknown amounts of money just to keep or obtain the same secret.

As long as someone touches this secret, even if it is just an idea in their mind, they will be able to detect the specific location at the first time.

...Obviously, Fiona has touched upon this secret.

So, she has to die.

Although...Fiona's current life or death is unknown.

After noticing the movement of the barrier last night, the old man and the young man did take action immediately.

However, to kill a peak powerhouse instantly in such a hasty situation would require a heavy price, as evidenced by their current injuries.

But just as the directors were waiting for news of Fiona's death, all they got was news of her disappearance.

"The Pioneers acted simultaneously."

The directors could only come to this conclusion.

There is also a philosopher who is monitoring this secret at the same time, but the old man does not know the philosopher's attitude. Perhaps he also wants to kill him, or perhaps... he wants to get more information from the person who keeps the secret.

The former is fine, since the directors just want to kill him off anyway, but the latter is an extremely disadvantageous situation for both the "company" and the directors.

With not many clues, the directors of the "company" could only try to ask Luo Ling, who was closest to Fiona, about the situation, and try to infer from her why Fiona had access to that absolutely forbidden secret.

The directors of the "company" had no idea how much Luo Ling knew about what happened back then. It was also unknown whether it was the fragmented information leaked from her that led Fiona to associate it with the forbidden secret.

The result, of course, was nothing. Luo Ling knew nothing about anything, and the woman's ability had no effect at all.

Of course, this matter cannot be left unresolved like this. If this secret is leaked, the first to suffer devastating disaster will be the entire "company".

...or rather, the headquarters of the "company".

The entire Victoria "company" is composed of sixteen offices, among which the office located in the London area is the "company" headquarters, commanding all offices and branches in various regions.

But in fact...the previous offices did not all belong to the company, but were other awakened forces of all sizes, which gradually came together through certain events and eventually formed the current scale of the "company".

The same situation applies to divisions including other boundaries.

It can be said that the "Company" is actually an alliance of awakened organizations, but the binding force of this alliance is much stronger and it is quite dependent on the three directors of the "Company".

Once this top secret is leaked, the blow to the directors will be unprecedentedly severe. Even the "Pioneers" are well aware of this, but they have not yet obtained it.

Will we learn from the missing or dead Fiona?

The three directors all showed a rare sense of uneasiness in their expressions.

"Cough cough cough... Let's start early. At this point, we can't wait any longer." The old man coughed a few times, then took out a tissue and gently wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"But I'm not ready yet." The young man frowned tightly. His injuries were no less serious than the old man's, but the pain was alleviated because of his "All Spirits" path.

"It's just a few more deaths," the old man said indifferently, "If we were a step slower, everyone would have died when the Pioneers' action began.

“We must prepare for the worst in everything. Once the pioneers get this secret... hehe, they will be able to learn more about the truth and do more things.

"Back then, wasn't it all because of us that the Pioneers were able to obtain the ritual to steal strange powers?"

After the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cabin became a little solemn.

His meaning was clear enough; the ritual was revealed by a traitor among the three.

Who exactly is a historian?

Even the directors didn't have an answer.

Even the old man could only say that it was the smallest possibility, but it still could not be completely denied.

What is certain is that historians will never allow the forces of both sides to be one-sided and will not disclose secrets on fundamental issues.

However, no one could have imagined that...

It is not only the "Pioneers" who have mastered the rituals that can steal strange powers, but also the directors of the "Company".

It can even be said that the Pioneers' stealing rituals are nothing more than a crude and crude imitation.

"Oh, right, just kill her. Remember to take out her soul. Some questions need to be answered by her personally. Maybe there will be unexpected gains." The old man's tone was the same as usual, as if he was just making a trivial suggestion casually.

There is another thing that makes the directors most uneasy: what kind of existence is this strange thing that can annihilate the boundaries?

As long as this mysterious true identity has not been exposed, the "Company" will have to be cautious when forcibly using "Boundary Collapse", which is its most important backup.

Before, because Fiona was still there, he was a little hesitant to kill Luo Ling and search his soul. Besides, it wasn't a very critical situation, so he could wait.

But now, the old man has completely lost his patience and they must get the answer in the most direct way.

"This is not a problem. By the way, we can also include her team in the sacrifice list, which can be regarded as a contribution to mankind. But... who will do it?" The young man said after a moment of hesitation.

"Wouldn't Lin Jianming, the Fire Granter, be enough? A knife that has been used once will be more useful with blood on it."

The woman shrugged and said nonchalantly, "However, we should keep the two second-generation members in the team. Lina's death last time caused a lot of subsequent trouble."

"Well... anyway, there is a higher-level awakener in there who can almost activate a point in the ceremony." The young man nodded.

"So be it."

The old man stared at the burning fireplace and made the final decision lightly.

It's just a matter of sacrificing one or several insignificant commissioners.

They have made similar decisions countless times.

...all in the name of saving humanity's bleak future.

Chapter 8 Blood Rose (k)

"Luo Ling, what happened to you today?"

A white hand waved in front of Luo Ling, pulling her slightly absent-minded gaze back. Eve looked at her with some concern, "I always feel that you are always absent-minded. Is this... Ms. Fiona really important to you?"
