At this moment, a cold voice accompanied by a cold current rushed in from behind, shivering the many defense department members who were sweating profusely because of the fire.
"This flame is unusual. Director Saria, please don't barge in rashly."
"..."
Saria felt the chill and looked in the direction of the voice. What caught her eye was Sakura, who should have been off work at the moment. Then she seemed to remember something and asked with a serious expression:
"Ms. Ying, I remember your Originium skill is ice. Do you have a way to suppress the fire here?"
The last time Sakura used the power of the Imperial Spirit Blade Hanyu Bingtian to save Ifrit, when she filled out the report afterwards, she directly lied about her abilities to her superiors, saying that the power of ice was her Originium skill and her sword was a special staff.
So, facing Saria's question now, Sakura was not surprised at all.
"You can give it a try. I haven't seen such a powerful flame in a long time." Hearing this, Ying did not give a positive answer.
After hearing Ying's answer, Saria nodded, and then said to the other members of the defense department around her: "Stop extinguishing the fire, and you all retreat."
After hearing Saria's order, the defense department members who were holding shields and trying to put out the fire retreated in an orderly manner and pushed the defense line back a lot.
"You try..."
As she spoke, Saria stared at the burning black flames that blocked her vision.
With a hint of worry in his eyes, he added in a low voice: "Ifrit is still in here."
"Ah."
After listening to Saria's instructions, Ying nodded slightly, then untied the sword bag and took out the exquisite and translucent Yuling sword, Hanyu Bingtian.
Then, she drew her knife without anyone, including Saria, seeing clearly.
The long sword was unsheathed and slashed out. Extremely cold wind and snow instantly rolled up in the room along with the sword energy, extinguishing all the black flames wherever it went.
Noticing that the fire had been mostly extinguished, Saria glanced at Sakura in surprise, but didn't say much. Instead, she took the opportunity to rush in, looking for the person she had been thinking about.
Sakura noticed the look in Saria's eyes and a hint of helplessness flashed across her expression. Finally, she shook her head and followed to help extinguish the remaining black flames.
To be honest, Ying felt that she had restrained her strength enough. The sword strike just now was just an ordinary slash...
If she had been serious, the black flames would not have been extinguished so easily, but would have been instantly frozen and then shattered.
……
After searching the surrounding rooms that were on fire and exploded but found nothing, Saria's face turned horribly dark...
Because she didn't find the child Ifrit, and because of the burning flames, she didn't even see any trace of him.
After checking again and confirming that there were no clues related to Ifrit, Saria turned to the members of the defense department outside and said:
"Count the injured, then check for me and find out what's going on!"
"Yes!"
After instructing her subordinates on various tasks, Saria looked at Ying who had been following her and said, "I'll have to trouble you a little bit. Go check if there are any more flames like that around."
"After confirming that nothing is missing, go and rest."
"Yes."
Hearing this, Ying nodded slightly, and then went to investigate with the task.
Of course, this check was just a pretense. Just now, she had contacted Grayshu in her mind and asked her to order the tyrant to extinguish all the flames he had released to ensure that nothing was missed.
After "checking" the fire, Ying did not rush back, but checked other hidden dangers and traces. After confirming that there was no problem, she reported to Saria before leaving.
However, before Ying walked far, she met Muirseth who was pacing outside with a look of anxiety on his face.
When Muerseth saw Ying, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over and asked, "Ying, what happened in there? What's the situation?"
Originally, after leaving the data room, Muirseth planned to go directly to Ifrit to take a look, but before he got close, he was forced by the scorching air waves and flames and dared not get close, so he stayed far away and worried.
"I heard that Ifrit lost control, but I don't know the details... As for the current situation, although the flames were very hot and terrifying, they did not spread far... So, apart from the loss of equipment, only a few people were slightly injured in this accident, and there were not many casualties."
Looking at Muirseth who looked anxious, Ying told her about the accident in a calm and serious tone.
"Is that so? What about Ifrit?"
After hearing what Ying said, Muirseth nodded slightly at first, then seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly.
"Ugh……"
Hearing this, Ying sighed softly, then lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, saying: "She is missing. Director Saria and I haven't found any trace of her."
"!"
ps: There will be another chapter later. I have recovered. I almost sent it yesterday. But misfortunes never come singly. I had my menstrual period, caught a cold and had recurring urticaria. Sigh...
Chapter 144 A Time to Sober Up (Physical)
"!"
After hearing Sakura's answer, Muirseth was slightly stunned, his expression somewhat confused, with a hint of shock and sadness.
To be honest, before getting this answer, Miss Elf had already made all kinds of psychological preparations in her mind, and even thought that because of this loss of control, Ifrit's physical condition would completely deteriorate.
However, she never thought that the child would disappear without a trace...
Was Ifrit just missing, or was he burned to ashes? Muirseth didn't dare to think too deeply at this moment...
"Don't think too much. There are no traces left at the scene, and no corpses were found..." After noticing that Muirseth was in a bad mood, Ying reached out and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her in a soft voice.
"Huh... I won't let my imagination run wild. The fire over there should be out completely, right?" Facing Ying's gentle comfort, Muirseth took a deep breath to calm himself before continuing.
"It's been completely put out. Do you want to go over and take a look? I can accompany you." After listening to Muirseth's question, Sakura nodded slightly and replied.
Hearing this, Muirseth shook his head in disapproval and said, "I'll go over and take a look, but you don't have to accompany me. You didn't sleep all night last night, you should go to rest now."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child. Seriously, I'm older than you, Ying."
"We'll make up for today's breakfast next time we have a chance. Go get some rest. I'll go see if there's anything I can help with."
finished,
Muirseth didn't give Sakura the chance to say anything else. He nimbly walked around her and ran towards the place where the accident happened.
"..."
Ying stared at someone's departing back, and after a moment she shook her head helplessly, then turned around and left to rest.
She has reminded him to that extent just now. I hope Muerseth can think about the previous events sooner and realize that Ifrit is just missing, so he won't be so worried...
After all, after spending some time together, Ying has already regarded Muirseth as a friend.
It’s a pity that sometimes there are some things and secrets that cannot be told even to friends.
----------------
General Office——
"With all this commotion, is the matter done?"
In the office, Christen supported her chin with both hands, her expression showing some laziness for the first time in a long time, and asked the "uninvited guest" beside her.
"Yes, the person has been taken away without leaving any trace. I guess at this time, your dear Saria is still wondering whether the person is missing or burned to ashes~"
In response to Kristen's question, Mebius spoke with a nonchalant expression.
"However, you are really derelict in your duty as the chief. Don't you ask how many casualties there are in this accident?"
"I believe you will know your limits in this regard. My intuition tells me that you are not the kind of person who likes to kill people indiscriminately... In that case, the remaining Saria can naturally be dealt with perfectly." Upon hearing this, Christen said in a calm tone without even raising her eyelids.
"You really trust her." After hearing Christen's confident words, Mebius raised his eyebrows slightly, and then an ambiguous look appeared on his face.
Although Mebius didn't know whether Christen knew that Saria had been investigating the Hayden Laboratory and Ifrit, she could clearly feel the confidence shown by the person in front of her.
It was as if even if Saria knew about it, she wouldn't do anything to her. In Sheshe's opinion, this might be the confidence of the favored.
However, no matter what she thought in her heart, Mebius did not remind Christen of her plan. After all, she also had the opportunity to go along with what might happen later.
And in her opinion, this incident was also an important "growth" node for Christen. The departure of Saria made her gradually and completely abandon all distractions except her goals.
"Sareya is my most important friend..."
Hearing Mebius's sigh, Christen slowly lowered her eyes, and then spoke in a low voice, word by word, without disguising herself.
"Ha~"
Hearing this, Mebius chuckled but did not refute.
"..."
But it was because of Mebius's chuckle that Christen closed her eyes completely. After a moment, she issued her own order to expel the guest.
"If you have nothing else to do, just go ahead and do your work. Aren't you going to treat that experimental subject?"
"Hmm~ It's almost time. In that case, I'll take my leave first... Oh, I almost forgot, don't forget what you promised me." At the end, Mebius seemed to remember something and reminded.
"Don't worry, we've already sent people to investigate and contact the Rhodes Island you mentioned."
"Oh~ That's good."
After getting the answer he wanted, Mobius, who had taken some time out of his busy schedule to come here, turned around and left without any reluctance.
"..."
Watching Mebius's departing back, Christen thought about what she had said before, and a sense of panic arose in her heart for no reason.
Is Kristen really completely fearless?
No... not really. She was actually gambling as well, betting... that Saria would not abandon or leave her.
If she was really completely confident, she would not have hidden many things from her best friend of many years.
It was because I knew Saria's personality and character very well, and I knew in my heart that there was a slight possibility that I would be abandoned...
Therefore, over the years, Christen had kept many things from her best friend, such as the relationship between Rhine Life and [Hayden Laboratory], and Ifrit's [Evil Demon Project], etc.
"Ugh……"
Sitting in the office chair, Kristen sighed softly, slowly opened her eyes, then looked at the ceiling and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to penetrate the layers of obstacles above her head and hold the stars in her hand.
------------------
Structural Department——
After Sakura left, Saria tried her best to suppress her anger and investigated many times unwillingly. However, apart from the fact that Ifrit's "disappearance" itself was a suspicious point, she still did not find any useful clues.
The surveillance cameras didn't capture any intrusion from anyone or anything, and no one witnessed Ifrit's situation in the flames behind, and there were no debris left in the burned ruins...
……
"Muerseth, you watch here and inform me if you find any clues." Saying this, Saria left the knife at her waist, with a gloomy face, holding back her anger and walking away step by step with her shield in her hand.
If before she was afraid of missing the best time to find and rescue Ifrit, then now that no clues can be found for the time being, in Saria's opinion, it is really a good time for people to wake up.
ps: sleep
Hello, everyone.
Chapter 145: Clash of Concepts (Beautiful Women Fighting)
"Click——"
With a loud bang, the door of the general manager's office was violently pulled open by a bandaged hand.
Christen, who was sitting in the middle of the desk, was not surprised at all by the arrival of the guest. Instead, she propped up her chin and said with a smile: "Sareya, I knew you could handle this matter well."
"The structural department just submitted a quick report, saying that there are some doubts about the cause of this accident. The test subject "autonomously" exploded without any stimulation. Do you have any clues?"
"..."
With a gloomy face and suppressed anger, Saria did not immediately answer Kristen's question. Instead, she was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you sure she wasn't stimulated?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Hearing this, Kristen raised her head slightly, looked directly at Saria, who had a dark face in front of her, and said.
Saria, who was standing, lowered her eyes and met Kristen's gaze before she gritted her teeth and refuted word by word:
"You told me that you didn't feel any stimulation when you carried out such a cruel and illegal human experiment as the Flame Demon Project on a child?"
"【Flame Demon Plan】..."
After hearing Saria's question, Kristen suddenly seemed to remember this. She looked at the report in her hand nonchalantly and said, "Ah... the report refers to this project."
Then she put down the report in her hand, looked at the person in front of her with a smile and continued:
"Why bother? This is just another cooperation to meet official requirements."
