Chapter Twenty-Three: The Second Lucky Confinement
"So they all have no clues?"
"There were, but the lead confinement was crushed to scum by you, and they couldn't compare the DNA data of the data."
"That's just an excuse to shirk. The confinement man's explosive head is so recognizable that it is estimated that it is also well-known in the underworld and the syndicate. So there must be a senior executive in the FAC who has blocked the plan to continue the investigation. β
Still enjoying a paid holiday, Kyle arrives at Earl Chelsea's Earl's Court and joins her in drinking high-end black tea to talk about the previous attack.
"And if I give them money, will they find out anything?"
"Of course they'll find out something, but it's probably just throwing out a substitute for the dead, the backstabber. And most importantly - your image of throwing money when you are in trouble will be further exploited by them. β
How terrible the greed of those people wasβthe time-traveler had felt it in his previous life, so he didn't think that changing the world would make those people clear and clean.
As long as the Earl of Chelsea gives them a lot of gems and money as if he were relenting, then the other collections in her basement will also be coveted by them, and they will want not only the treasures of the Earl of Jewels, but also the collection and accumulation of the former Earl, which will also become what they want to collect.
"So what should I do? What a hassle. By the way, you really don't want me to keep you? Kyle, you're a patrol officer by profession now, and working in a dangerous place like the General Bureau of Public Security is a terrible thing, so why don't you stay by my side? β
"Ahh
The Earl of Chelsea's casual chatting personality really gave Kyle a headache, but her instinct to say whatever came to mind also brought them closer quickly.
After a casual conversation, Kyle learns that Earl Chelsea was not a Earl and had been a gemstone maker before, and according to her story, she had made gems that the members of Parliament had fallen in love with, and that previous Earls had always paid a lot of money for her to work rough gemstones. However, the reason for how she became a confiner, and how she became the current Earl, was not made clear to him.
Referring to Macchiato's 'transformation' experience, the reason for becoming a confinement is definitely not a good thing for them, and it is more likely to be a bad thing that causes their emotions to fluctuate strongly.
So at this stage, Kyle is just talking to her about the follow-up investigation of the 'Explosive Head Attack Case', but her out-of-the-box and extraordinary-like view of money often makes the topic often deviate, as if she always jumps from the red envelope of the Spring Festival to the mid-year festival to cure mental internal friction by shaving her head.
"Of course. When you become what you call a high-level executive, won't you be able to help me find out who is behind it? Once I've found him, I'll turn him into a gemstone statue. β
"Wait, why are you going to make me a high-ranking person?"
"So what's not? I'm a confiner, and no matter what department I go to, I can't get to the top position. β
Kyle was a little speechless by the Earl of Chelsea's clear brain circuit, but it seemed to be ...... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. Although Chelsea now have a lot of gems for free with the help of many high-ranking figures, once Chelsea can reach out to them to be able to change the power of the city, then they are no longer friends.
After all, the confined are so-called 'monsters' to most people, and they are all psychopaths who spread madness and degenerate the normal people around them into death servants. Therefore, they have no possibility of becoming high-level on the surface.
"There is a three-point truth to what you say, but the truth will be the same, I will be labelled as another soft bone raised by the Earl of Chelsea, and then with your help I will become the senior mascot of that department."
The Earl of Chelsea pondered in distress that she wanted to get Kyle for money, but Kyle didn't want to be labeled as such, he also needed an 'innocent' identity, at least not in any apparent relationship with the confinement at this stage.
The Earl of Chelsea, who had been rejected continuously, did not show the slightest bit of displeasure, but smiled and asked the robot to serve a dessert that cost more than a thousand discoins, and then touched the cold gem leopard while taking a small bite of these excellent pastries.
The delicious taste in her mouth made her pink eyes narrow, and the cool camisole gave her a clear view of large areas of her fair skin, making it difficult for Kyle to concentrate on figuring out how to figure out who was behind it.
"Kyle, you've thought a lot about me, and that makes me happy. But it's all unnecessary, as long as those people need me to customize gems for them, they will definitely not send FAC troops to kill me, and as for who is behind the scenes, since I am not dead, then he will definitely continue to play his cards until we can confirm his identity! β
Speaking of which, under the mood swings, the teacup in her hand turned into a crystal clear gem, and the black teacup turned into a jewel teacup. With the thought that this cup has been blessed with the talent of not being broken, perhaps there is still a lot of room for development in the usefulness of her ability.
Kyle didn't look away, and continued to enjoy the teacup, and after hearing such a bold statement from the Earl of Chelsea, he knew that the time had finally come to raise the 'shackles'.
"This kind of adaptation to change is indeed one of the methods, but you are in a state of being vulnerable to attack the whole time, and the killers can always find a close time, which is too dangerous for you."
Most of the time, after the enemy bites it, they will not let go even if they die.
"Haha, I've got the money, I can hire enough bodyguards to live in the manor near the Earl's Court, and Kyle - you're going to come to my rescue when I'm in danger, right?"
Kyle was silent for a moment, then silently raised his right hand, the red brambles converging into a crown, and the sudden appearance of the crimson intangibles made the Earl of Chelsea suddenly feel breathing pain.
"W-what is this?"
"It's the shackles that control the confined. If you want, shackles can enhance your abilities and tie your sanity. The most important thing is that it allows us to know where the other person is and what they think. β
In addition to increasing the Lockdown's abilities and limiting the infection of the Confiner, the Shackles also allow Kyle and the Lockdown to vaguely sense each other's location and current mood.
This is sorry for the macchiato, but from now on, Kyle doesn't want to use violence to put shackles on the confinement unless there are special circumstances.
You can say he's naΓ―ve, you can say he's hypocritical, you can say he's vulnerable. But Kyle doesn't want the shackles of the Locker to close his heart to him forever, preventing them from forming a real bond with each other. So this time he chose to tell the truth and let the other party judge for himself.
To be honest, even Kyle himself can't believe that anyone would be willing to do this, and after all, no one would really be willing to fight for-
"Okay, come on."
"What!? You- you just agreed? β
The Earl of Chelsea's unbelievably fast promise sent Kyle into a mess, and he really didn't expect it to work out at once. It's like a character who draws a limited pool.,Obviously, I'm ready to eat the bottom conscious.,As a result, it was shipped directly when the first ten consecutive tests were made.γ
It seemed like I was dumbfounded.
