Late at night.

The City of Hope is brightly lit and a prosperous scene.

On the 27th basement floor of the Oneiroi Building, in a stuffy and cramped single apartment, Char stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the beautiful harbor scenery outside the window, wisps of air with the smell of sea blowing from the exhaust fan, and he held the genetic medicine tightly in his hand.

Char was thinking about whether he would inject this genetic potion and break through to Sequence 2 Dream Builder.

"Smack..."

Char closed the curtains to block the imaginary view of the sea, lay on the bed, looked up at the ceiling, the corners of his mouth raised, and showed a sarcastic smile: "False reality, real dreams? Whether it's reality or dreams, what's fake is fake! ”

Eventually, Char did not inject the genetic potion and put it away.

Weak, there is also the advantage of being weak.

Char will evolve to Sequence 2 Dream Builder sooner or later, but not now.

Char didn't want to be a fattened pig to be slaughtered.

Char turned off the power of the new holographic bracelet and put it in the drawer of the bathroom, then picked up the old holographic bracelet, covered it with a quilt, and quietly entered the personal space.

Nanobots are installed throughout the Oneiroi Building, and every corner is being monitored.

Char must be careful not to reveal the identity of the Great Witch Hermit.

Jingle bells...

With the crisp sound of wind chimes, the white-hatted and white-robed Great Witch Hermit enters Shadow Street and appears at the Wizard's Bar.

The atmosphere in the bar was lively.

The wizards gathered around the wine table, gleefully discussing the Federation's hacking of the Oneiroi Mansion during the day.

"The daytime commotion, and the blackout, were the actions of the Federation?"

When Char learned the news, she was shocked in her heart, and her face was as usual.

"It must be because of the death of C-class agent Lucy that the Federation has taken action against the Oneiroi group..."

Char arrives at the bar and asks Bob, the black bartender, for a dark beer and sipping slowly.

"The situation of the Oneiroi Group is not good! But I'm already stuck in it, and I can't help myself. Char's gaze swept over the bar, looking for the figure of the Red Witch.

The Red Witch is in Hope City, and she must know more about the Federation's actions during the day.

Char wanted to get more information from her.

However, the Scarlet Witch does not appear at the Wizard's Bar.

Char didn't know that the Scarlet Witch was concentrating on deciphering the information left by Lucy at the moment, and she didn't have time to visit the wizard's bar.

Just when Char was a little disappointed and ready to leave.

"Hermit-sama... It's finally waiting for you. ”

Merlin, the gray-robed wizard, appeared at the bar, and when he saw the hermit sitting at the bar, his eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly, clenching the wizard's hat tightly with both fists, looking excited.

"Oh? Merlin? Do you have something to do with me? ”

Char raised his eyebrows slightly, he was not surprised to see Merlin.

Merlin is a federal agent, and he must have been aware of the Federation's actions against Oneiroi during the day.

However, Char didn't think that Merlin, as a federal agent, would risk violating discipline and tell him the information.

"Hermit-sama... It's..."

Merlin was a little nervous, took out two pages from his arms and put them in front of Char, "These two pages of Kekule's diary are to thank you for sharing the information about Fort William..."

When Char saw Merlin's nervous expression, he knew that the two pages of Kekule's diary were not coming from the right place, and that it was likely that Merlin had stolen them from the federal archives.

Char had heard a little about the discipline of the Federation.

Leaking federal intelligence is an extremely serious matter.

If this comes to light, Merlin will be fired immediately and face a prison sentence.

With just one word of his own, Merlin did it to such an extent that he even took the risk of stealing Kekule's diary.

This warmed Char's heart and moved a little.

"Merlin... You're so polite. Char said.

"Hermit, the Scar Witch took out Kekule's diary as a reward, and I naturally won't be left behind! And... I am a person who will repay my kindness and never like to owe others. Merlin said, tilting his head.

"Merlin, the Federation's hackers attacked the Oneiroi Mansion during the day, right?" Char suddenly thought of a way to make up for Merlin.

"My lord, have you heard about it?" Merlin's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "I don't have enough authority, I don't know much about this matter, and I've only heard about it. I don't know why the Federation would suddenly take such a big move against the Oneiroi group? ”

"The reason... There was a C-class agent named Lucy who died in Oneiroi Mansion. The federal special operation should have been taken to find out the cause of her death. Char understated.

"What... C-class agent dies in Oneiroi Mansion? That's a big deal! C-class agents... It is the backbone of the Federation! The authority is much higher than mine. Hearing this, Merlin's eyes widened and he looked shocked.

Merlin, who is a federal agent, doesn't know the details, and the hermit casually says it.

"It's a hermit... I thought omniscient was just a compliment, but I didn't expect it to be the truth. Merlin looked at Char with adoring eyes.

"But... Who is the Hermit? It's also too powerful. Merlin secretly guessed the identity of the hermit.

In fact, Merlin is also interested in the true identity of the hermit.

But he is not as bold as the Scarlet Witch in trying to find out the identity of the hermit.

The hermit is Merlin's idol, and for the idol, he has nothing but reverence and worship.

"Hermit-sama... I don't know the details of this operation, though. But I was in front of the Cyber Affairs Office and heard the Director furious. The operation was supposed to be a failure. They didn't find the cause of Lucy's death... If possible, can you tell us the truth? If it's inconvenient, forget it. ”

Merlin weighed over his words, wanting to find out the truth from Char.

"It's not an accident, it's a murder." Char tilted her head to drink her beer down and gently placed her glass on the bar.

"Murder..."

Merlin rubbed his hands nervously and said excitedly, "Hermit-sama, can I report this information to my superiors?" This is important for the Federation! If the intelligence is true... I should also be commended by my superiors, and even promoted to C-class agent, transferred from a boring civilian job."

"Of course." Char said lightly, "You can't contain the fire in the paper, and the Federation will be able to find out the truth sooner or later." ”

"The information you have provided is invaluable. Merlin clutched his wizarding hat tightly, and he felt that he owed the hermit another great favor.

"Two pages of Kekule's diary, as a reward for the last and this information." Char raised the yellowed diary paper in his hand, and the figure dissipated and left the bar.

"Praise to the Hermit."

Merlin put his right hand on his chest, bowed in thanks, and hurried out of the bar.

"Dear Director Wade, I have received a reliable piece of information that C-Class Agent Lucy died in a murder..."Merlin immediately submitted a report to his superiors, and as for the source of the information, Merlin naturally would not leak it.
