Carl's dark red eyes reflected on the computer screen in front of him. The lieutenant, who usually doesn't seem to take anything seriously, spoke like a different person at this time: "I just want to know who killed Yingjie." I'm going to make them pay. ”

Naoto Ito stood aside, his master's long-lost determination making him feel a little strange.

"Naoto, you go check it out for me. Individuals, groups, or companies that have transacted with Mendel University within one year...... The time, method, content, and frequency of transactions, as well as the personal transactions of the school's senior management, should be investigated as carefully as possible, and reported to me as soon as possible. Carl said, moving his hands to the computer keyboard and typing quickly, "If you don't have enough people, you can go to Major Oron and ask for someone." The reason is ...... Well...... His Royal Highness Lloyd, the Fifth Prince, wants to strictly investigate the drug cartel of the original people - let's just say this. ”

"Yes." Ito bowed his head in response, but in his mind he thought - the original drug cartel ...... This nonsense is unexpectedly applicable in the current situation. Not to mention that His Royal Highness Lloyd is also the chief scientist of the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and has a lot of insight into science, especially life science and medicine; Moreover, His Highness is an upright person, and he can be said to have a deep hatred for things such as the drug trade and drug abuse among the people; And in the course of the investigation of Mendel University, drugs were indeed searched; Not to mention that the prince and Karl still have a good relationship...... Combined with the above points, the lieutenant's seemingly casual reason actually stood unexpectedly. Presumably, even if the other party is Major Aulong, who is known for his severity, he can't come up with a reason to veto.

Although Nao Ito had calculated this big circle in his heart, there was only a short moment in time. In Karl's opinion, his squire only pondered for a moment, and then confidently agreed to the task. Subordinates don't have to say anything about themselves, which Carl has always been very pleased with.

Just as Naoto Ito turned around and was about to open the door and leave the office, he stopped at the action of reaching out and pulling the doorknob. As if he had thought for a long time before making up his mind, he suddenly turned his head to look at Karl: "Young master, there is something I have always wanted to ask ......."

Karl raised his eyebrows: "You say." ”

"When you chose your attendants, He Yingjie was obviously better than me - whether it was intelligence, physical fitness, strategy, or anything else, to tell you the truth, I was not as good as him." Naoto Ito seemed to have been writing a draft in his heart for a long time before he spoke, and there was no emotion between the lines, and he was even slightly stiff like an endorsement, "But why, in the end, you didn't choose him, but chose me?" ”

Karl nodded, as if he had been waiting for him to ask this question, and was not surprised, but replied indifferently, "It was Yingjie who rejected me." Before making a decision, he declined my invitation when he knew that only one of you and him could stay. ”

Naoto Ito's eyes widened, it was an answer he had never dreamed of.

"Ridiculous, isn't it? I didn't expect that...... There will be times in this life when they will be rejected by the Daybreakers. But at that time, Yingjie showed me the letter of appointment sent to him by Mendel University, and his attitude was serious. ”

——Being named as an attendant by the young master has been my dream since I was a child. But there are other options in my life. But for Naoto Ito, being your squire is all he has to do. Even if you think I'm arrogant or a woman, I have to turn down this job. I can't ruthlessly take away someone else's future, not to mention that as your direct attendant, Young Master, Naoto is also fully qualified.

"He took the chance...... Is it left to me? Naoto Ito's voice trembled uncontrollably, "Then if he had agreed to your invitation......" I didn't dare to say anything at this point - if he had agreed to your invitation, he wouldn't have gone to work at some original university, wouldn't he have died now?

"There are no ifs in life." "And as my immediate attendant, you're fully qualified." ”

"Young Master...... I'm ......" Ito felt a choke in his throat, and he couldn't say the rest of the words anyway.

Karl waved his hand, as if to dispel some emotion floating in the air: "Go to work." It is reasonable and reasonable, we all have to give justice to Yingjie. ”

Naoto Ito looked at Karl with awe, tried to straighten his back, slowly raised his hand to the corner of his forehead, and stopped at a sharp "snap". He gave the commander a standard military salute, then resumed his usual capable posture, opened the door and walked out.

Carl watched the door close behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, leaned his back back into his chair, reached over and selected the video of Phoebe's interrogation of the school manager in the morning on the touch screen of his computer, and opened it.

The progress bar dragged backwards, stopping precisely at the close-up of Phoebe's expression when she said something - "Dire......?" Male or female? ”

Phoebe didn't even notice herself when she said this, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly when she asked.

Carl looked at the freeze-frame screen, and the delicate face of the female soldier on the screen, and then raised the corners of his mouth: "Phoebe...... Hehe...... What are you hiding from us? ”

Two hours later, Phoebe, who had completed the interrogation of the prisoner and submitted the interrogation report and materials to Naoto Ito, left the MI building and walked in the direction of the Fourth Armory.

In the past 24 hours, Phoebe has received a lot of goods -

The final test of 'Wing Humanization' was successfully completed.

Carr specifically named her as a 'Military Intelligence Ombudsman'. Tomorrow, her archives will also be transferred out of the Army Corps Archives and moved into the MI Archives.

As soon as he reported to the Military Intelligence Department, he was reused, and was even assigned to directly try the important witnesses of the 'illegal wing planting case'.

It is conceivable that in the near future, she may have more opportunities to perform after completing the 'winged humanization'.

However, when Phoebe hurried to the armory, she was not very happy in her heart—

Dire ...... What is the origin of this mysterious figure?

Why does he call Nina and Phyllis his subordinates? What organization do they belong to?

Is there a deal between the school's management and the Dire? Is the manager's speculation credible?

And...... Where did the students' weapons come from? Not to mention that there are a lot of cold police weapons and nail guns in the school, which can still be obtained on the black market for some money...... What's up with the single-shot rifle that Phyllis takes? We are wearing military bulletproof vests, how can armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate bulletproof vests flow to the people? Not to mention optical camouflage...... That's real high-end military equipment, not even in the Fourth Arsenal of the Empire, how did a few students get it?

And Phyllis's sentence before he died - the world belongs to human beings. This line of thinking ...... Is it to overthrow the Winged Men regime and establish an empire ruled by humans? But with the power of the original people in the empire, it is really impossible to talk about this. But think about it another way, what if they wanted to trigger a second Black Independence Day? It's not impossible, right? …… For example, in this winged empire, a territory belonging to humanity has become independent.

Phoebe's mind was filled with all kinds of questions, and before she knew it, she had already walked to the door of the armory. At this time, two winged women were walking from the second armory exclusive to the wingmen, and when they saw Phoebe hurrying away with a blank face, they immediately recognized her appearance, and lowered their voices and whispered—

"Look at that original man, it seems to be a newly recruited subordinate of Lieutenant Orlando."

"Huh? Is it just her? Looks like a little kid...... Underage, right? ”

"So the aristocracy of Young Master Karl's aesthetic vision is unique! Before, he was still a plump Daybreaker, but now even the inferior primordials want to try it. ”

"What's wrong with giving it a try? People are rich and capricious, and they are tired of playing with the royal sister and want to try the little Lori, but it's all upside down anyway......"

"Well—it makes sense for you to say that. And you see, the little girl looks a little bit good. ”

"Shh......h Be quiet, and be careful to be heard. ”

"What if you are heard? Can she still go to Lieutenant Orlando to complain? Haha......"

Phoebe passed them with a blank face, rolling her eyes inwardly - are the Imperial soldiers so bored now? Peace has been going on for too long, and I don't know where to go with a sense of crisis.

Two more steps into the fourth armory, Phoebe checked her ID in front of the huge iron door, and made her way to the weapon collection window. It was also a coincidence that when the soldiers on duty came to borrow weapons with her and Wang Gong at this time, they saw the same person. The soldier checked the permission to use the weapon she handed over on the computer, and when he looked up, he couldn't hide a trace of sympathy in his eyes, and confirmed: "You're here to return your own weapon, right?" ”

Phoebe nodded, "Yes." ”

After Wang Gong's death, the Wingman soldiers sent by Karl to support him took his body and recovered his weapons along with them. So at this time, she didn't need to return the weapons of her fallen comrades, but thinking of this, Phoebe still felt uncomfortable in her heart. Although she knew that a soldier like Wang Gong should have been mentally prepared to sacrifice for the mission, this did not alleviate her sadness.

"Wait a minute." The process was exactly the same as when they borrowed the weapon, and the guards also informed Second Lieutenant Andrew on the phone at hand this time.

A moment later, Phoebe followed the ensign who had arrived to enter the armory and come to the silver weapon rack they had borrowed from the previous time. After Andrew confirmed that the cameras above their heads were no longer able to record the conversation, Phoebe preemptively asked, "Will you report to your father these two days?" Can you bring me a message? ”

Andrew frowned slightly: "What is so anxious?" ”

Phoebe put her right hand on her ear and operated on the video headset a few times. A photo taken in the middle of the night in a dark setting has been sent to Andrew.

"...... this?" Andrew also turned on the video headset and unfolded the image on the blindfold screen, "Is it a winged man?" ”

Phoebe nodded and asked, "Do you know him?" ”

Andrew carefully identified the person in the photo: "I don't think I've seen it...... Where was this photo taken? ”

"Mendel University." Phoebe said, "He's a Blackwing, and he calls himself 'Dire'. ”

"Blackwings!?" Andrew had a look of surprise on his face, "Is there really a Blackwing!?" ”

Phoebe smiled bitterly and pointed to the screen in front of him, "Otherwise, what do you think I photographed?" ”

"This ......" Andrew narrowed his eyes, zoomed in on the focus, and looked at the figure in the photo repeatedly, calming down his emotions before lowering his voice and saying, "This photo is really not very clear." Although there was moonlight at night, the focus was not aligned, and this person only had a side face......"

Phoebe hung her head, "It's already the limit." If I had done anything else, he would have killed me on the spot. ”

Hearing this, a deeper wrinkle appeared between the ensign's brows. He stared at Phoebe and said worriedly, "Listen to my advice, don't check it again." ”

Phoebe shook her head.

"I never hoped that you were wrong." Andrew sighed, "We always thought that this matter was a matter of chasing after the wind - it is unknown whether the Blackwing Man really exists, not to mention that Lingxiao City, which appeared in the capital of the empire, is a small probability event among small probability events. So from the very beginning, no one expected you to find out anything, Mr. Grant only hoped that you would be able to take this trip disguised as an Imperial Native as a life experience and grow somewhat. But if Black Wing really exists, then the nature of this thing is completely different. Not to mention you, even Mr. Grant may not be mentally prepared. ”

"I know. I knew my father didn't believe me from the beginning. Phoebe whispered, "But it's okay if he doesn't believe me, and I'm not trying to prove to him how right I am, I'm just ...... It's just ......" At this point, her shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Andrew looked down at the short, slender girl, and at this moment, he could feel the suffocation in her heart from her trembling shoulders...... It can even be said to be aggrieved. The second lieutenant sighed again, and reached over with his right hand to rub Phoebe's soft hair: "I know ......"

"You don't know!" Phoebe looked up, her eyes a little red. She tried to suppress her voice, but her tone was extremely excited, "You all treat me as children!" My father too, my brother too, you all think I just need to live happily and do whatever I want. Even if you don't do your job every day, even if you only know how to eat, drink and be merry...... But I don't want that at all! I want to help my father, a little bit! I know he's busy right now, surrounded by countless things, and he must think that I'm causing trouble for him by running around at this time, but if I don't continue to investigate now, and wait until the matter of the Blackwing Man is really confirmed, then it won't be as simple as being troublesome! The black-winged man wasn't a human at all - I didn't know what was written in the treacherous information until I really saw it. This Dire, he's a humanoid weapon at all! ”

"Humanoid weapons ......?" When Andrew heard this, he suddenly sighed as if he understood something, "Could it be that Wang Gong was ...... by him?" ”

"No, it's not." At the mention of Wang Gong, Phoebe's voice was obviously trembling, but she forcibly suppressed the emotions surging in her heart and said fiercely, "He was killed by other wingmen, and I also killed the wingman who killed him." She took the laser rifle from behind her back and handed it to Andrew, "That's how I used this gun to pierce the wingman's heart with my own hands." avenged Wang Gong. ”

"You ......" Andrew simply didn't know what to say. Almost reflexively, he took Phoebe's rifle, which was splattered with mottled and blackened blood.

"At this point, you should understand, right? Andrew. Can you continue to treat me like a child? My hands are stained with the blood of the enemy, and I am no longer the innocent little girl in your eyes! Phoebe's tone was resolute, revealing a wolf-like violent, immature, but faintly fanged.

Andrew closed his eyes in agony, as if the beautiful picture had been shattered on the spot before his eyes. There was a faint sadness in his voice, as if he was blaming himself, and he seemed to feel a little disappointed: "I know. The second lieutenant whispered, "I will report back to Mr. Grant as soon as possible." But don't act rashly until further instructions come down. ”

Phoebe reined in her previous hysterical state and let out a faint "um".
