Chapter 457: The Puppeteer
These two days are the most joyous festivals in Atlantis, and all the billboards are pasted with news about the Praise to the Goddess Contest, and Lisa's butterfly-like shape is so picturesque that people can't help but stop looking.
Although Lisa's father thinks that Lisa can't win, as long as she has ears, she can hear it, and Lisa's voice has evolved again this year and has become extremely durable. It abandons the youth and immaturity of the first session, with a particularly comfortable hoarse voice.
Her voice is like a force that pours into the body of every listener, making it as if people have learned to fly. Even her rivals admit that they are fans of Lisa, and the difference in rank between the two is about 15,000 kilometers.
In particular, the finals held in the newly renovated stadium will be a venue with a capacity of 80,000 spectators, and the acoustics will be improved to the extreme, and it is bound to be a performance that will take Atlantis away.
Tickets for the finals were sold out half a month ago, and the first 10 rows of the most expensive were expensive enough to buy half a car, and only the upper management and the wealthy could afford to spend it, while ordinary civilians would wait in front of the TV with their families to watch this exciting moment take place.
But just when everyone was looking forward to this day, Zhou Xian didn't want this moment to come at all, she just felt that the time was too short and too little, and it was not enough for her to complete the layout outside.
"Vardy, I need your help." Zhou Xian woke up from the state of data connection and said seriously.
"Tell me, you command, and I will do it." Vardy has resigned himself to his fate.
"I will give you a list, it is the whereabouts of all the high-ranking officials of Atlantis who have god cards, I need you to get all their god cards within 1 day, but you can't hurt a single person's life, and you can't be discovered." Zhou Xian said that she had opened the secret compartment of the room and took out the information directly, proving that she had been preparing for a long time.
"Actually, I've already gotten two pieces, which were originally intended for me and Zhang Lan to escape, why do you want to collect this thing?" Vardy wondered.
"The Divine Card is the key to crossing the Divine Blessing Force Field, and so many people must collect all of these things if they want to escape the realm of Atlantis."
Zhou Xian had already planned everything, but in the past, she could only rely on herself to complete it, but now she has a very good helper.
"Anyway, you went to collect the magic cards with such fanfare, and you weren't afraid that they would report it, wouldn't you be able to finish eating and walking?" Vardy wondered.
"Do you think they dare to report the crime of losing the god card at will? Crossing the Divine Blessing Force Field without permission is considered a defection, and the person who provides the Divine Card is an accomplice and is a capital offense. Even if they wanted to report it, they would only dare to report it to me, and they would never dare to go beyond the level and tell the priest directly. Zhou Xian was also out of the way.
"Understood, but I'm leaving like this, are you sure you can handle the situation? I'm worried about your safety, after all, Zhang Lan gave me the task to protect you. Vardy was a little worried.
"Don't be nervous, I'm also the only demigod in the entire Atlantis except for the priest, as long as it's not the priest himself, no one can threaten my existence." Zhou Xian is extremely confident.
"Okay, then I'll go." Vardy opened the window and jumped from the stairs, turning into water and flying into a spot that no one could see.
"Huh, it's finally about to start, Zhou Xian, don't be afraid, you're not fighting alone."
Zhou Xian sat on the sofa, her hands trembling uncontrollably, obviously she had received so much training, she should have forgotten her fear a long time ago, but at this moment, she felt like she was sitting in the hall of the Creation Temple covered with blood, and she was about to die.
But in the world of the Internet, someone took the initiative to ask her to connect......
Zhou Xian was stunned, but she didn't expect it to be, Zhang Lan.
"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be in prison at this time? Zhou Xian said puzzled.
"Didn't I say I wasn't in jail? Just worried that you don't know what to do, so come over and see if you can help. Zhang Lan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, with a smile on the corner of her mouth when she spoke.
"Don't mess around, I told you you can't leave your cell for half a step, and your mind is limited to the internet connection." Zhou Xian ordered solemnly.
"So what are you going to do? Report me? I'm just worried about the layout of your plan, so I wanted to come over and help you. Zhang Lan expressed her intentions.
"The Vardy you sent me is very useful, he can do a lot of dirty work in my place, for now, I'd better not be overly public, after all, I know too many secrets about the priesthood, and now in the whole city, the person who poses the biggest threat to him is me."
Zhou Xian is very aware of her identity and status, as long as she shows the slightest abnormality, she will definitely be killed as soon as possible.
"Are you scared?" Zhang Lan asked softly.
"Why not be afraid? Priests can eat people! "Zhou Xian is not ashamed of her fear.
"It's good to know how to be afraid, because only in this way will you be able to think and calculate more finely, now tell me, what layouts have you made?" Zhang Lan wants to understand the whole plan.
"Yuna has been informed to assign the task to her, I believe she will find a way to solve it, and Vardy has been assigned to collect the god cards, which should be collected before the operation begins." Zhou Xian is still confident in Vardy's strength.
"What's next? What are you going to do? Zhang Lan continued to ask.
"Take a shower, make a delicious breakfast, go to work and read the report after eating, and act as if nothing happened." In Zhou Xian's opinion, there is no change, and it is the most needed skill to save life.
"No, you have more important things." Zhang Lan said softly.
"Tell me, which one is not sending me to death?" Zhou Xian said disdainfully.
"Go find Lisa and protect her." Zhang Lan said very seriously.
"What do you mean? Does Lisa need protection? Zhou Xian was stunned.
"Do you think that an owner will only have one dog?" Zhou Xian was stunned when Zhang Lan's words were spoken.
"Do you think the priest has any other subordinates you can use? You want to carry me to Lisa's life? Zhou Xian couldn't believe it.
"There's no surprise that people in power never put their eggs in one basket and always have special roles to do that you don't know or don't want to do." Zhang Lan said so confidently, as if she had guessed who that person was.
"I don't believe your claim, there is no basis, let me act rashly, it will increase the risk." Zhou Xian rejected Zhang Lan's proposal.
"No, I have a basis." Zhang Lan directly showed a huge holographic screen in front of Zhou Xian in the data world, and rummaged through all the news about Atlantis in the past 10 years, "See clearly, you have only been helping the priest deal with the problem for 3 years, but 3 years ago, there would be various dangerous serial murders every year as usual, and the deceased had signs of rebellion against the priests or substantive behaviors." ”
"The way they died was very cruel, they were all dismembered by a scalpel and died in their own homes, and the serial murderer was called a puppeteer because he always didn't cut the aorta of the deceased, so that the dismembered bodies were all joined together, like marionettes." These materials are anecdotes collected by Zhang Lan with Jack when she first arrived in Atlantis.
"No way, the puppeteer was already found dead in his own home the year I took office, it was a gas explosion." Zhou Xian said solemnly.
"Would you believe in this coincidence? I dare say he's alive and ready to do it. Zhang Lan said firmly.
