Chapter 1078: Fatal Details
"Wizard Inogova?" Richard raised an eyebrow and looked at the other. I saw Ino Gaova, who was 1.8 meters tall, standing on the side of the street at this time, looking at him, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand, not knowing what to do.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Richard. Try to tell yourself in your heart: the more this time, the more you can't panic. Before the real danger comes, you must not cause danger because of your own mistakes, which will lead to the exposure of the bottom line. Therefore, everything should be done in the same way as in peace, and the province will arouse suspicion.
"That's right. Inuokova replied aloud, "Wizard Richard, I have just come out of the affairs point and want to discuss something with you. ”
"What?"
"Do you remember the demolition of the dwelling at the meeting a few days ago?" asked Inuokova.
"Of course I do. Richard nodded, "I've been packing up my experimental equipment and furniture for the past few days, and I can almost move out tomorrow, and I promise that it won't affect the demolition work the afternoon after tomorrow." ”
"It's for the best. Inuokova said, then pondered for a moment before speaking, "But...... Can I trouble you to move out of your current home before dawn tomorrow?"
"Why?" Richard raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, no, no. Inuokova waved her hand quickly, "It's not Wizard Richard's problem, it's actually a construction problem." The construction team, at the beginning of the planning, was all right. But in the actual process, many unexpected difficulties have emerged.
Therefore, they need to speed up the early progress, save more time, and solve unexpected difficulties in the later stage, so as not to delay the entire construction period. I was going to talk to you, Wizard Richard, about to discuss this matter with you. What do you think, can you say yes?"
"This-"
Richard dragged his voice, thoughts racing through his head.
According to Inokova, his residence will be demolished tomorrow after dawn. If it had been according to his original plan to leave Pompey after dawn tomorrow, there might have been some conflict, but now that he had planned ahead of schedule - leaving Pompey immediately, it would not have had any effect.
Even if the wizards in the construction team were all like Sherlock Holmes, and his hidden secrets were discovered as soon as his residence was demolished at dawn tomorrow, then he would have been hundreds of miles away from Pompey and safe enough.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Richard was ready to agree.
However, before he could speak, he forcibly stopped, and thought of a detail—the stack of papers Inuokova was holding—a bit like the one he had when he first met with Inova to choose a place to live.
If he agreed to Inokova's request, there would be no problem on the surface, but the follow-up would not be easy to deal with.
He had now promised to move out of Residence 1248 by dawn tomorrow, and according to normal logic, he would have to follow closely in choosing a new place to settle down - after all, he couldn't tell Inuokova directly that he was ready to go forever and didn't need a new place to live.
And if you want to choose a new residence, you must delay a certain amount of time in Pompeii with Inuokova, and it will not be too short.
You must know that when he came to Pompey to choose his first residence before, he secretly went out of the body to investigate, and on the surface, it was determined after "careful selection and many comparisons".
If this time it is casual, the next new residence is decided, and it is difficult not to make Inokova suspicious.
Perhaps this suspicion was not fatal, but in this dangerous moment, he did not want to make any mistakes that would lead to accidents.
What to do?
Did you really stay, pretending to waste hours with Inokova to settle on a new place to live, and then leave Pompeii?
I'm afraid that if we delay for too long, we will run into the danger that Pandora predicted in advance.
Or maybe it's a trick.
He remembered that Inuokova had said that if the core members of the Truth Society left Pompeii for more than a year, their residence would be temporarily repossessed. When the members return to Pompeii, they will be reassigned a new place to live.
In this case......
Looking at Inogova, Richard spoke: "Wizard Inogova, I can promise you. I tried to be busy at night, put my things away and moved out, and I would not affect the demolition of the house before dawn. ”
"That's good. Inuokova smiled, "Then Wizard Richard, where are you going to move your dwelling? I have in my hand the information of all the vacant dwellings in Pompeii Town at present, and as compensation for you to move out of your current dwelling early, I can accompany you around and take a look at these dwellings on the spot, so that you can choose the one that is most satisfactory." ”
Sure enough...... Richard said in his heart, looked at Inokova quietly, shook his head lightly and responded: "Wizard Inogaova, don't bother." I have decided to leave Pompeii and return to my former city of Gillan, as soon as I have moved out of the stone house No. 1248. ”
"Why?" asked Inokova.
"There's nothing too special about it. Richard said, "I used to stay in Pompey because I wanted to use Pompey's conditions to help me with some of my research. But now my research has encountered some problems that cannot be solved for a long time, so it is useless to stay in Pompey, it is better to return to Jialan.
Besides, although Pompey was good, Jialan was quieter in comparison. The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about having an accident with the energy system at any time and not sleeping well. ”
Hearing Richard ridiculing the instability of the energy system, Inokova couldn't help but smile and echoed: "Okay, Wizard Richard, it is indeed a good choice for you to leave." Seriously, I used to worry a lot about the energy system, and I wasn't relieved until it did. Ha. Maybe when the new energy system is built and the stability is improved, you can come back and take a look. ”
"Yes. ”
"That way, you don't have to choose a place to live. Now follow me back to the office, sign a few documents, make sure that you have temporarily waived the right to assign a residence, and then let Director Rommel approve it. Inuokova said.
"Now?" asked Richard with a wink, "can I come later?" I was about to go down the hill and take care of some trivial matters. How about waiting for me to come back and sign the papers?"
"Are you sure?" said Inokova as she spread her hands, looked over, and said seriously, "Now that you go to the affairs point, Director Rommel is just there, and the whole process can = pass without even a minute." If you wait a while, Director Rommel leaves, and you go to the affairs point again, it will be more troublesome. ”
Richard looked at Inogova, and the two looked at each other.
Does the process take less than a minute...... The choice now is to delay for a minute or arouse Inokova's slight suspicion.
Arousing Inogaova's mild suspicion will not have too fatal consequences...... Correspondingly, a minute delay won't actually make much of a difference to the outcome...... In a minute, on the premise of maintaining his disguise, he couldn't leave Pompeii Town at all, and if something really happened, he would still be implicated.
In this case, it is better to dispel Inogaova's suspicions and save the extraneous branches.
After looking at each other for half a second, before the atmosphere became delicate, Richard opened his mouth and agreed to Inogova: "Okay, since Director Rommel happens to be there, then I'll go to the affairs point to sign the documents by the way, and trouble Wizard Inova." ”
"No hassle. Inuokova stepped forward, took the lead towards the affairs point, and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, during the walk, "By the way, Wizard Richard, I'm a little curious, what are you going to do when you go down the mountain at this time?"
"Well, it's nothing, it's just hiring a carriage or something, after all, moving the things from my residence back to Jialan City is not a very short journey, and I can't do it alone. ”
"I see. Inova nodded, a little abruptly.
