Chapter 55: Dependence
If this infiltration had been Clarence's, he might have noticed that the staff had been viscerally terrified of the military personnel last night, but after only one night, their attitudes had changed almost completely, and although the medical mages were different from ordinary soldiers and the special agents involved in the investigation of the incident, could they greet Phyllis disguised as a medical mage as if nothing had happened? Is their psychological counseling too effective?
However, it was clear that these assumptions no longer made sense, and the person who carried out the mission was not Clarence but Phyllis, and now she was just thinking about how to get in touch with her commander as soon as possible, and as for other small details, she couldn't fully notice them with her mind.
Although the footsteps were a little hurried, no one passing by doubted it, and when she was about to reach the entrance of the basement on the second floor, Phyllis breathed a sigh of relief, since she had already come here, there was no way back, and after making up her mind in her heart, she reached out and tried to push open the closed door.
Squeak-
Before Fellis could hold the handle, the door in front of her was suddenly opened from the inside, and at the moment when the door was opened, a man dressed in an ordinary Demacia suit appeared in front of her, followed by a small group of soldiers, after seeing each other, everyone present was slightly stunned, although their reasons were not the same.
He is...... The Radiant Man ......, although most people will not find out, but Phyllis will definitely not admit that the cuffs of his jacket are embroidered with gold threads designed by the Demacian royal family, did they really send these guys......? A strong sense of fear instantly surged into Phyllis's heart, but she also knew that if she showed her stuffing here, then there would only be one end for her, almost just a blink of an eye, Phyllis forcibly suppressed this fear and calmly let it aside.
"Thank you" The man immediately smiled elegantly, waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to leave quickly, and at the same time did not forget to ask Phyllis, "It's hard to stay up all night, isn't the mission over?" ”
"Ah, of course not" Phyllis pretended to have a headache and pressed her forehead, "Psychological counseling or something is not our specialty, we spent a lot of energy on this, I am not a little girl anymore, this kind of work is a bit too intense...... But by the way, the rest of the people who carry out the mission here are soldiers except for us medical mages, who are you? ”
"I'm sorry, I'm an officer in the Vanguard Legion, and I've been on vacation here lately, and I feel compelled to come here to fulfill my duty as a Demacian soldier."
He's lying...... Although his smiling expression barely changed, how could Phyllis, as a spy, not be trained in this area, and his gaze briefly shifted when he heard Phyllis's sudden question just now, which just showed that he was trying to concoct a reasonable lie, and the brilliance really went out again because of last night's incident...... Phyllis pretended to be the same and nodded, "Really?" That's really hard work, our mission is almost complete, and you can continue your vacation. ”
"You too, goodbye."
The man was still smiling, Phyllis's tired expression had not changed, after saying goodbye to each other, they continued to move towards their respective destinations, but after closing the door, a sense of fear instantly filled her whole body, she barely held on to the stairs, gasping uncontrollably, if she showed a slight expression of surprise just now, and if she didn't calmly get out of the way just now but stepped back, I'm afraid that she would have been killed by that man...... Radiance's strength is definitely not something she can solve, if ......
All right...... There aren't so many ifs...... Now that it's safe, don't think about it anymore, Phyllis comforted herself as she got up and continued to walk down.
Although the official said that there was a mechanical failure here last night and there was an explosion, but from the current situation, all the work here is in order, of course, there was no explosion here last night, Phyllis found that there are no staff in the town hall here, only a few craftsmen are repairing the damage that occurs at some point, although the situation last night was quite tense, but Phyllis does not remember any incidents that could damage the walls here, It seems that the military has done a lot of work to cover up the truth...... None of this mattered, Phyllis's purpose was clear, there were no soldiers guarding the place, she walked to the room where she was visiting the information terminal, and reached out and pushed the door open.
"That's it, the new equipment has been installed, and the next ......"
This time, the people who appeared in the room were two magician engineering technicians, and next to them, there was an information terminal that looked like it had been burned, and the two of them seemed a little puzzled about the medical mage who suddenly appeared here, although they knew that there was a medical mage here to provide psychological counseling, but they didn't seem to need it: "Hello Master Master, is there something wrong?" ”
"Hey......? Just now a guy said he needed counseling and asked me to come here to him, what's the matter, isn't he here? ”
"This ......," the two technicians glanced at each other, "it doesn't seem like anyone has been here just now...... But it doesn't matter, the new equipment has been installed, our work has been done, and you can use it as much as you like. ”
"Well, thank you both."
The two men were easily fooled, and after seeing them leave, Phyllis immediately locked the door and sat down in front of the terminal to operate it skillfully.
"The line code 383258, the password 768762, and the voice fingerprint confirmation...... "Although these numbers have long been memorized in my heart, this is the second time that I have actually used them, as long as the king has no dereliction of duty, there will be no connection between the members of the phantom and the chief, Phyllis thought that these numbers will never be used by herself, but the king's sudden decision still caught her a little off guard.
Connecting ...... These three words flashed on the screen, and with them Phyllis's anxious mood, hurry up...... Hurry up and get through...... She stared at the screen, her fists clenched almost to bleed, not only for herself, but also for the innocent Demacians like herself, please...... Hurry up......
"Crimson ......? You...... Have you been released? I heard that you were arrested by the army, where are you now and how are you doing? ”
"Long ...... Sir...... "Crimson is Phyllis's code name in the apparition, and when she heard the middle-aged man's voice, Phyllis was almost choked, at least in her opinion, this voice was even more reassuring than the answer that Clarence was willing to help her last night, she forced back the tears in her eyes, wiped her nose fiercely, and lowered her voice and said, "I...... I was not released, they took me to the border with the intention of secretly interrogating and executing me, but luckily I escaped last night...... Sir...... What should I do now? I didn't betray the Motherland at all, but they ......"
"I know...... Of course I know you didn't betray Demacia, but...... Forget it, since you escaped, it would be better, remember, never reveal your whereabouts, never show up and don't try to contact me again until the storm subsides, the situation is very unsafe now, I trust your judgment and understand what I said? ”
"Huh? But...... I ......" Hearing the chief say this, Phyllis's heart seemed to be suddenly poured on a basin of ice water, don't contact him until the turmoil has subsided...... What he meant...... Have you been abandoned" Why is this happening? Is there no one to testify to my innocence? Could it be ...... Sir, have you been censored as well? What about the other chiefs? ”
......Hearing this, the man on the other end suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "That's right...... In the past two days, quite a few members of parliament have been censored, and although we have not been treated like this by you, we have ...... Near-full-time surveillance is almost the same as house arrest, and the other Phantom officers are not completely unanimous, because His Majesty intends to join the League of Legends, and some of them also think that it is necessary to get rid of the spies before joining, so the Phantom does not think that His Majesty's decision is any dereliction of duty, sorry......"
His analysis was not wrong...... The Governor's answer made Phyllis almost completely hopeless, as Clarence had previously analyzed, and even the Parliament was censored, and if this continued, the whole of Demacia would be thrown into chaos, if Noxus invaded at this time......
"Sir...... Do you know where the other captured spies are? ”
At this moment, Phyllis's voice no longer had the slightest hint of crying, and she interrupted the chief's words and asked in such a low voice.
"What? You...... What do you want to do? Don't make such jokes, now that you're the target of a nationwide want, if you take such a risk to save them......"
"Since you don't have anything, you have to take it yourself." The words I heard before are very suitable for use here, and now the situation has become clear, if there is no action, the fate of these spies may be exactly the same as their previous selves, even if they can't stop this chaos, at least they have to save these innocent comrades, it is because they are helpless, reality will force people to learn to stand up on their own.
