Chapter 1587: Alfie's disdain
Although Celent didn't fully believe Mr. Zero's words and didn't immediately tear up his face with Swell, the fact that Swell didn't return to the secret base to pick them up in the end is indisputable, and he used the illusion magic array to delay them for a long time, which makes Swell's behavior even more suspicious.
"After Swell returned to the Imperial Capital from the secret base, he was teleported to the Scarlet Rose, and the arrow of time and space naturally returned to Boss Willy. This altered arrow of time and space was borrowed by me from Boss Willy. Alfie and Celent were familiar enough that without further ado, she immediately told Celent about his experience during this time.
Pascal had already told Alfi about Selent's previous experience in the secret base, and it would save a lot of time at this time.
"What? do you mean that the current Swell is Oruffi in disguise?" asked Celent, shocked after hearing Alfie's bizarre experience.
If Alfie had not lied, then the "Swell", who now appeared on behalf of the branch of the Holy See, would not have legitimacy at all. No matter how much Ishtar valued Olufi at the beginning, in the end, the position of Cardinal Archbishop passed to Swell, and Olufei's current behavior is an out-and-out usurpation!
"Now it seems that although the so-called Project X did not succeed in recreating the Chalmers mask in the end, this kind of human skin tights that can be disguised as someone else at any time has caused endless trouble. Even if we know now that Olufi is disguised as Swell, we don't have enough evidence to expose him!" Alfie said with annoyance.
"Anyway, you've finally solved the corpse case. We didn't work in vain. As for Olufei, we'll always think of a way. Sellent reassured.
"Hmph! Don't put a high hat on me! Obviously they misled us from the beginning! It's ridiculous that we have been pursuing some kind of corpse case! Now it seems that it was clearly a trick used by Olufei to attract too much of our attention with the corpse case, and to conceal his real purpose of trying to seize the power of the Holy See branch. Alfie said hatefully.
After learning that many forces had obtained the technology of ancient civilizations from Swell and secretly made so-called human skin tights, Alfie realized that he had been fooled. The dried body of Nicky found by him and Celent cannot be ruled out as having been deliberately left there by Olufi.
As for the sarcophagus space discovered later, in hindsight, it was a useless chicken rib thrown by Swell under the control of Olufei, which greatly involved their energy. It's no wonder that Boss Willie had hinted to him more than once not to continue to investigate the dried corpse case, it seems that the old guy with the talent for prophecy has long known that their investigation will be fruitless.
Thinking of this, Alfie was discouraged, he still underestimated Swell and Olufei, and was always led by the nose. It's ridiculous that he still feels good about himself all the time, and from time to time he is confused by the "small progress" he has made, as if he has really become a great detective. In fact, in the eyes of Swell and Olufei, it was a big joke.
If it weren't for the fact that in the "St. Jessica's Cathedral Rebellion" in the end, he unexpectedly took the lead and finally found some ground, and after knowing the truth, Alfie would have committed suicide in shame!
"Actually, what I'm most concerned about right now is whose hands the trunk of the Tree of Life that His Majesty Swil stole from Mr. Zero. With the experience of Swell's clone, the combination of the human skin tights and the tree of life is no longer as simple as pretending to be someone else, and there may even be a large number of clone puppets that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake. Sellent said with a solemn face.
After listening to his words, Alfie couldn't help but be impressed by Selent, but he didn't expect him to notice the core of this matter.
"I only know that a large part of it has fallen into the hands of Mr. Bishut, and the whereabouts of the rest are not very clear. It seems that Swell didn't have much left on him. When Alfie said this, he suddenly thought of a detail, that is, after Swell returned to the imperial capital, in addition to seeing Bishut, Boss Willy, and Ophelas respectively, he immediately rushed to St. Jessica's Cathedral and merged with Swell's clone there, until he was finally plotted by Opiras, and he never seemed to have a chance to transfer the trunk of the Tree of Life. Could it be that there is some hidden spatial equipment on his body, storing the trunk of the Tree of Life?
Thinking of this, Alfie immediately contacted Robert V through the armband and asked him to check Swell, who was temporarily stored in the black market, to see if there could be any new discoveries.
"It seems that it is very important to find the rest of the trunks of the Tree of Life. Celent didn't notice that Alfie was a little distracted, and continued along his train of thought.
"We have few clues at hand now, so we can only wait for the celebration to slowly explore. Alfie said helplessly, "I'm more concerned about what kind of height Robert Zero, that is, Mr. Zero, will reach after regaining his body." ”
"Do you think it's possible for Mr. Zero to become a real being?" asked Celant.
"I don't know, but I always feel like it's not that simple. Just think about what a cunning fellow his maker Augusta is, and you know that there must be some secret in Mr. Zero, but maybe even he doesn't know. "Alfie knows Augusta's style too well to say that Mr. Zero has no backhand on him, and he doesn't believe it.
"And what are you going to do with Olufei?" said Celant, gesturing to the platform above his head. At this time, the morning fog had gradually dissipated, and from their angle, the figure of "Swell" could be faintly seen, and he seemed to be listening to the report of Alcatel who had arrived on the platform.
"I haven't figured it out yet, and even if we expose him now, we don't seem to have much to gain. Alfie replied very realistically.
"Then watch him usurp the leadership of the branch of the Holy See?" asked Celant, somewhat indignant.
"In my eyes, there is no difference between Swell and Olufi leading the Holy See Branch, neither of them has the ability to take the Holy See Branch to the next level, let alone the courage to betray the Lord of Light and throw himself into the arms of other forces. These two short-sighted fellows were concerned only with the petty profits of the heads of the branch of the Holy See. Alfie commented disdainfully, but the words were ugly but very pertinent.
"The leadership of the branch of the Holy See must not fall into the hands of a careerist like Olufi. Septe said displeased. He admitted that although Alfie had a point, it was because Alfie was not a member of the Holy See, and he was suspected of standing and talking without backache.
"That's natural, but today is obviously not a good time to expose him, and everything will have to wait until after the celebration. Alfi set the tone, "I don't think you want to make a big deal about this matter, it's better to solve it internally." ”
