Chapter 21: The Caged Bird
For Hossmann, now Mary is his hope in the world.
Even if the latter revealed that the all-seeing eye was extremely mysterious and could give him the power of revenge, he sincerely hoped that the other party would find a chance to withdraw from it.
The world has never been as simple as imagined, let alone the 'rainbow light' high above. The leader of the two major forces in Chenghai alone, the Scarlet Queen and the Apostle are enough to stifle all threats in the city.
The two transcendent beings have stood at the apex of the world in Chenghai for a hundred years, and no one can shake them now.
In public and private, the old people don't want to see their young lady make trouble because she joined a mysterious organization, causing people to be provoked who shouldn't be provoked, and finally leading to the extinction of the Falgen family.
Sensing what the other party was really trying to say, Maria had to leave the topic for now. "Hossman, I'm tired, let me rest."
"Yes, miss, do you need me to prepare anything for you?"
"Prepare some food, I haven't eaten in a while."
"Yes, miss."
Teenage girl eating......
Half an hour later, back in her room, Maria couldn't help but sigh after using her device to browse the Internet information belonging to the inner world.
"I'm going to have trouble going forward."
The All-Seeing Eye is wanted by the Countermeasures Bureau, which is not good news for Maria. This means that when you are forced to go on a mission in the future, you need to "greet" the agents of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Thinking of such a picture gave Maria a headache.
In the battle, the sword has no eyes, and the other party is really determined to round up herself, so it must be impossible for her to be captured obediently before she is taken away by the 'world'.
And this is also a troublesome point, because the death of one "alien" will attract more "aliens".
The agents of the Bureau of Countermeasures are completely in a state of confusion when it comes to maintaining the balance between the two worlds. No matter what kind of person you are, what kind of family you are backed by, and what kind of skills you have, as long as you disturb the balance, you will be seen as a destabilizing factor.
No matter what your starting point is, violations are bound to be on the mob list.
It is precisely because of this code of conduct, and because the "outlier" group has a certain amount of power to strike hard, that over time, the transcendents of the world have accepted the so-called balance between the outside and the inside.
No one wants to provoke a group of "aliens" with abnormal brains, and the specially set rules do not actually harm the overall interests of the inner world.
A little compromise can make everyone happy, so why not?
"I hope that guy in the world can solve this problem effectively, I really don't want to deal with that group of aliens."
Over the next few days, Maria began to try to synchronize with another large Arcana card that had been added to her body.
Chenghai City is so big, she alone searched for it, maybe the final crisis came, and she didn't find anyone.
Ling Hao also thought of this, so he temporarily handed the 'Lover' card to Maria, in order to provide a locator for the general area.
At night, Maria summoned a construct to arm her entire body, and then left the villa using the card's teleportation function.
Now that the All-Seeing Eye is wanted, the Girl Hunter needs to hide her identity even more.
Crises are always hidden in the shadows, and even the existence of the 'natural disaster' level does not dare to be complacent and say that they are invincible in the world, and they can block the secret malice all the time.
When the view became clearer, Maria realized that the 'world' might have a soft spot for rooftops, and that each time they teleported to the same location.
Forget it, it's good if you're happy.
Miss Chariot, who is almost resigned to her fate, is not in the mood to complain about her boss's style, but calls out cards that do not belong to her.
Tarot cards, the Great Arcana cards called 'Lovers'. As long as she conforms to the general sensing area and finds her target, the organization will have a whole new partner to share her stress.
Thinking about this, and thanks to the core spirit that I can't run away from and can't resist, Maria of course welcomes new colleagues to come in and be squeezed by the 'world'.
[Follow the guidance of the tarot cards to find her approximate location, and leave the rest to me.] 】
The nasty voice came from the card, and the girl smacked her lips and closed her eyes to take in the exact location of the target in the area.
Different from her family's nearly deserted villa, this is a real rich area in Chenghai, and every inch of land is a more subtle way to describe it.
But in a place where housing prices can make blood pressure soar, the number of people living in it is no less than in the city center.
Therefore, after spending some magic power to block out ninety-nine percent of the irrelevant life reactions, a golden fire in the pitch-black perceptual field of vision appeared so dazzling.
"Found it."
This time Mary was completely free, and it was up to her to decide how to accomplish it.
With the stat amplification provided by the Demon Pattern Structure, Maria's speed on the roof of the building was no less than running on the ground.
Passing house after house, the girl came to the top floor of the manor where her target was.
Gazing condescendingly at the luxurious mansion below, and seeing nearly three digits of servants busy among them, Maria couldn't help but wonder when she would be able to return her family to such a beautiful scene.
The servants were orderly and apparently highly trained.
Of course, the girl who is rarely free to move today is not to see the servant, but to be the target in the side dining room.
The Demonic Pattern Construct comes with a Mana Attachment mod that allows Maria to ignore obstacles and stick to a wall to look at future colleagues without alerting the guards.
"That's ......"
Looking over, there was a little blonde girl sitting at the end of the long table in the dining room, flanked by two rows of straight-bodied servants.
The girl is like a delicate doll, with long golden and silky hair, emerald eyes, and a petite body that makes people feel a sense of pity.
But her pointed ears were clearly different from the servants around her, and the perfect appearance made people feel a little unreal.
Pointy ears? She's an elf?!
That's impossible! Mary was puzzled for a moment, and then immediately denied it in her heart.
Because the pure elven race that established the Silver Empire in ancient times is now recognized as extinct, even if there are surviving descendants, it is impossible to be alone in the family of the human race.
Combined with some of the rumors she had heard before, Maria immediately thought of the answer. "A half-elf half-blood, and it's artificially made."
Looking at the girl who seemed to be respected in the side dining room but was actually alone, Maria in the shadows gave an evaluation in her heart that was in line with the other party's state at the moment.
Like a golden finch in a cage.
With that in mind, she summoned the 'Lover' card and crushed it, allowing the tiny particles of light to pass through the window and gradually pour into the other's body.
The freedom that comes out of the cage is still chained, I wonder how you will see the 'world' when you know your own state?
Maria couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and then silently thought in her heart that the mission was completed and was teleported back to her home by the white light.
