"And who do you think is the most likely usurper?"

"West Factory and East Factory, in addition to the people who hold power and know the country, without exception, are under the surveillance of the East Factory, and this is the credit of centralized power. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, if the two organizations closest to the emperor rebelled, Zhu Yuanfang was the most difficult to react. Unless... Unless Zhu Yuanfang has a trustworthy organization in addition to the West Factory and the East Factory. ”

Dior is afraid of the existence of such an organization. Organizations like the Hunter Department or the "D-10" are inconvenient to operate under the watchful eye of many parties. After the CIA and MI6 became known, similar problems did arise, and the mystery of the KGB organization was revealed by the revelation of a KGB employee. Even so, the internal composition of the KGB remains a mystery at the moment.

If Zhu Yuanfang really had such an organization at hand, then Dio would have to re-examine the situation in the Ming Empire. At least, there are no messages on the surface that suggest the existence of such a secret organization. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

"When are you going to go?"

"When are you ready, when are you going," Dio pulled out the dagger he had given her sixteen nights before, "do you still want this?"

"This is my "token of love", you have to put it away. "Sixteen Nights' eyes sparkled.

The corners of Dior's mouth twitched, and she wanted to throw the dagger in the trash, but she held back, sighed, and put the dagger back.

When to get ready, when to go, the short break is coming to an end, originally Dior thought so.

But the next day, all flights to foreign countries were suspended.

A cold snap that is rare in a hundred years swept almost the entire Ming Empire, and the time of the entire Ming Empire seemed to stop overnight. Originally, it was close to the New Year of the Ming Empire, and there was no special problem during the statutory holiday, but for "D-10", it became a big problem. Neither the D-10 nor the Hunters were able to move on time, and the Nanjing-Shanghai traffic line was being urgently cleared, and it would take at least a few hours for normal transportation to resume.

“... That's a big problem. ”

Dio stood in front of the laboratory door, holding his forehead.

White snow covered the streets, and there were no pedestrians in sight. Not only that, but in the weather forecast of the Ming Empire, there will be a heavy snowfall in the middle of the night today. Further south, where the disaster was more severe, there was even an abnormal freezing phenomenon, the roads were icy, and the airport was suspended. This abnormal weather doesn't look like normal, but no matter how much Dior suspects that this weather is true, he can't find the 'culprit'.

"Perhaps, this is the Ming Empire trying to keep you, maybe it?"

Sixteen Nights is rarely wearing a red winter coat, Sakuya and her are wearing the same plaid scarf, the two of them wear the same pair of mittens, and there is a thread in the middle, even so, she still holds Sakuya's hand tightly.

"Who designed your festive and stupid clothes?" said Dior, sighing again, kicking his foot on the snow, splashing the snowflakes.

"What's wrong, it's almost Spring Festival anyway. It's you, and wearing so little in this kind of weather will be considered a weirdo. ”

"It's a monster. ”

It's just a casual wait, and a snow won't affect Dior's mood. Moreover, Su Yuan had already reminded her of this matter. Dior was faintly uneasy in the depths of her heart, and in order to get the unexplained uneasiness out of her heart, she and Sixteen Night took Sakuya around the city together. However, due to heavy snowfall and the Chinese New Year, many stores have closed.

In the afternoon, the railway was finally cleared, and Yuru also took Liao Xueqing and the others to prepare to set off, and at this time, Dio stopped them.

"Liao Xueqing, you stay. She said suddenly.

Liao Xueqing had no reason to refuse, and Yuru only took Su Yuan, Mei Kexin, Old York and others on the train when Dior changed his mind and said goodbye.

"Please give the order. Liao Xueqing just looked at Dior blankly.

"Continue the exercise with Zi Buyu and Daria, and keep in touch. ”

Dior didn't say a word more. She returned to the laboratory and looked at Sixteen Nights and Sakuya who were sitting by the fire, and when she saw Dior coming back, Sakuya ran over and hugged her. And Sixteen Night looked at her with a little meaning, stood up helplessly, crossed his waist and said:

"Why did you ask Liao Xueqing to stay?"

"It's just a little uneasy," Dio touched Sakuya's head, but his eyes were a little dim, "I don't think this snow is just a natural phenomenon... Just a feeling, without any basis. For me, it would be foolish to speculate without any basis, but if something happens, Liao Xueqing might be able to come in handy. ”

"What do you mean?"

"She knows the country better than we do. ”

This is the end of the short conversation. Time continued to pass, and the bored Christian Dior had to play cards with everyone in the laboratory.

A day later, Dio's ominous foretaste came true.

On this day, Wakatsuki Bai came to the laboratory accompanied by her subordinates, and she looked a little haggard. Jacqueline didn't look at her for sixteen nights, nor did she ask her why she came, but Dio was the first to greet her:

"What is it that can bother the governor of the West Factory to come?"

“... As you can see, this abnormal weather," Wakatsuki rubbed her temples, her bitter expression made people feel a little distressed, "even most domestic flights have been suspended now, and according to the forecaster's forecast, this kind of weather will continue for a whole month." ”

"It's not just a natural phenomenon," Dior raised a frown, "You'd better be clear, I hate people who ask for things and like to talk around the bush." ”

"There has always been a legend in the Ming Empire, and even in the past and present dynasties. This country is guarded by the divine beasts of the four directions, and I think you should know that you are full of scriptures. ”

"And you want to tell me that this weather has something to do with something that can't exist?"

Dio couldn't help but scoff.

Even if there is really that kind of monster in this world, it will go to the fairy land a long time ago, and it has nothing to do with this world. If there really is a youkai that can cause such a large-scale disaster, there is nothing that can be done by human power.

"Doesn't Dio believe it?" Wakatsuki smiled bitterly, "Originally, this wasn't something that should have been done by foreigners, but... Now you are the only person who has anything to do with "that monster". ”

"The youkai?"

The youkai who have something to do with Dio.,Capable of solving this kind of incident.,One of them is sealed in the space where Sixteen Nights' ability is generated.,The other...

"So what? I don't know where Bai Ze is. ”

Dio shrugged, took the coffee Ihittab brought and took a sip. The intention behind Ruoyuebai's seemingly pitiful expression was too obvious.

If such a snowy weather was really an unbearable disaster for the Ming Empire, then Zhu Yuanfang would summon her directly, instead of letting Ruoyuebai come to her. As for the news that "D-10" was asked to go to Warsaw to escort an important member of the Ming Empire, Zhu Yuanfang also did not summon her. There are two possibilities in this, one is that this incident is not important at all, and Zhu Yuanfang did not want to summon Dior in a serious manner; the other possibility is that these things have little to do with Zhu Yuanfang in essence, and everything is the means of the governor of the West Factory in front of him.

There is nothing more resentful than the sudden appearance of a talented man in the empire who is trusted by the emperor.

If it doesn't matter, why does Ruoyuebai put on a look of 'really can't help it'?Dior sneered, put down the coffee cup, and looked at Ruoyuebai with disdain.

"It's almost time to tell me why you're coming to me. ”

“......”

Wakatsuki's bitter expression disappeared from her face in an instant, and she glanced inside the lab before staring at Dior. Dio nodded knowingly, stood up and walked over to Wakatsuki's side, and walked out with her subordinates.

There was still a snowy field outside the lab. Dio glanced at the girl in the wheelchair, only to see her unhurriedly take out the cigarette stick, waiting for her subordinates to light a fire for her.

She took a drag on her cigarette, and the smoke mixed with the heat, making it impossible to tell which side was the smoke and which side was the heat.

"Dio Connor, what do you think is the most powerful organization in the Ming Empire besides the emperor?"

"East and West Factory. Dior said casually.

"Actually, Your Majesty has another organization in his hands," Ruoyue Bai patted the cigarette stick and closed his eyes, "The organization that even I and the Governor of Dongchang don't know about, that is the most powerful weapon in Your Majesty's hands." ”

“......”

"The members of that organization are the 'elites' selected from various institutions, and they are actually 'good to control' people, that is, those people are His Majesty's 'dead soldiers'. Originally, 'smart people' like you and me would not have been chosen, but... You might have this opportunity. ”

"Oh?"

Interesting. Dior raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"If it weren't for that organization—" Wakatsuki squinted, her deep black pupils peering at something she didn't have.
