Chapter 262: Rockfield
It turned out to be her......
When I read the end of the diary on the 18th on a summer night, I suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and many of my previous questions were suddenly explained reasonably.
More than a month ago, Mosha suddenly found him with three heads, and before that, the two had not even made any contact. At that time, Xia Ye felt that this was a bit abrupt, but she thought that it was the result of Susha's secret push, and the study of her head distracted her, so this doubt was quickly put behind her.
If this is only a minor suspicion, then the next one is much more obvious.
Lillian stood guard outside the door of the room as she connected the three heads, and that was the question - why did Lillian know? Not only did she know that she was going to connect her head for the first time, but she also knew exactly when and where she was doing it.
Summer Night asked Lillian this question, but then the Mothbeast attacked, Lillian blew herself up, and finally confided in Summer Night about her past and the secret of the "node" contract...... After a series of accidents, when the dust settled, Summer Night gave up and continued to ask each other.
Everyone has their own secrets, and digging them out at all costs would undermine the hard-earned trust between the two of them, she thought at the time.
Now, she didn't have to ask Lillian any more, and three details from Mosha's diary gave her the answer.
"Cut out" memories, "zippers", and "colorful and weird spaces" behind zippers.
It's Victoria.
Reading Mosa's diary, Summer Night discovers an interesting thing - the "Prayer" does erase all of the contracts Victoria has ever signed, but when the tailor's abilities are "upgraded", some of them are returned in another form.
For example, she can "cut out" other people's memories, open spatial portals through "zippers", and the ability to make Black Mask ignore her in her diary is likely to be a "blind" contract distorted by the power of tailors.
If you think about it this way, the "prayer" contract doesn't seem so unfair.
Back to the point, if Victoria is the one who is secretly pushing herself to get her head, the question of why Lillian happens to be waiting behind the door is a logical explanation - Victoria asked her to come, of course.
After a series of events, the relationship between Victoria and Lillian has gradually been contoured by Summer Night—the two are not so much friends as guardians and wards.
Lillian was once a pet adopted by "Lord Summer Night", who in turn was a good friend of Victoria, and after her death, the responsibility of caring for Lillian naturally fell on Victoria.
Finally, there is one more crucial thing - for some reason, Victoria seems to be convinced that the "Lord Summer Night" did not fail in his experiments, and because of this, she will help Mosha steal his head out of the laboratory; And the care for myself all the time is obviously for the same reason.
But Summer Night knows very well that she is not the "Summer Night-sama" - this is not the kind of situation where "she loses her memory after resurrection", she is simply a person who has crossed over from another world.
When Victoria returns, maybe I should discuss it with her.
She looked at Lillian, "Did Victoria message you again?" ”
Lilian shook her head, "No. I just texted her to ask how she was doing, but she didn't reply to me. ”
There shouldn't be any surprises......
The summer night made the floating head look in the direction of the upper city, but even if the field of vision was pulled farthest, nothing could be found, and perhaps Victoria's battle with the great witches of the upper city was not in the dome at all.
"Then we'll wait." She said to Lillian.
Nowadays, there seems to be no better way than to wait.
She began to read the last part of Mosha's diary.

December 22, 440 (continued)
I've found that I'm always prone to over-exaggerating things.
An hour ago, I successfully handed over the three "heads" to "Summer Night", and perhaps because of the second time I saw her, she didn't feel so weird to me anymore.
Just like an ordinary person.
When she opened the package I handed her, there was a look of surprise on her face, but not very surprised. She had probably guessed that what I had given her was a head, but there must have been something else that surprised her—I couldn't guess what she was surprised by.
All in all, the whole process was very smooth.
When the other party took those heads, there was neither a god descending into the world, nor a corpse on the spot, and as for myself, I was even more unscathed. "Summer Night" said goodbye to me very quickly, and there was not even an agreement on the time and manner of the next meeting, and the meeting ended inexplicably.
I even have a feeling that I have been deceived, could it be that the other party has nothing special about it, but is actually a scammer who resells "Ether exploration" assets?
But the thought that the Great Witch had personally asked me to do it dispelled the idea.
Next, I'll have to figure out how to get away with it and keep the "Aether Exploration" from missing three heads.

January 18, 441
The recent month has been a bit of a surprise to me.
"Summer Night" never contacted me again, nor did she appear in public again, I went to Lin and tried to get news from her, but Lin told me that she couldn't contact Summer Night for a long time. I tried to ask the Great Witch, but I didn't know how to get in touch with her, and she never came back to me.
The inspection of the "heads" has long since ended, and with a little skill, I have completed the settlement of the number of "heads", and the "Aether Exploration" has not noticed any problems, and I have returned to "Mohs Bio" two weeks ago.
Everything seems to be back to normal, but for some reason, I always have a bit of an uneasy premonition.

January 21, 441
A Rockfield is investigating "Mohs creatures"!
Even though she hasn't found me yet, I know that her real target is not my company, her target is me!
……
January 22, 441
After thinking about it, I realized: I might be dying.
Readers of the diary, I will leave my last words at the end of the diary.
But before that, allow me to start by telling you what I know about Rockfield:
Roquefil is not a person, nor is it an organization, it is a temporary grant, a special identity.
Only a handful of archwitches have the power to grant "Rockfield" to others, and all of them are directors of the board of directors of "Aether Exploration".
Once an investigator has been granted "Rockfield" clearance, she will not only be able to enter and exit any area she deems relevant to the investigation, dispose of any person involved in the investigation by any means, consult any files in the "Book Tower" except for K6, and most importantly - she will temporarily receive a portion of the powers granted to her by the authorizer, which is achieved through the "Rockfield" contract, which is the source of the title "Rockfield".
As a constraint on this authority, after each delegation of authority, the donor must submit a report of the investigation to the full Board for review by the full Board of Directors and for the directors to assess the reasonableness of the delegation of authority and the investigation conducted by the Roundfield.
I know that, formally, Roquefil's investigation of "Mohs creatures" and my investigation is absolutely reasonable.
Because I stole three "heads", which are very confidential company assets, Rockfield can pass the review of the board of directors after the fact, no matter what measures I take, including digging up my memories through special means or depriving me of my life.
But—
If you analyze it logically, this is a very unreasonable thing.
I'm just a helpless little character, and the theft I commit is so simple and clear that I don't need to assign a Roquefil to the horse, just send out a few Black Masks to arrest me and interrogate me a little bit, and everything will be clear.
Therefore, the investigation of me is nothing more than a cover, a piece of wrapping paper to make this investigation "reasonable".
It's not me who Roquefil really wants to investigate, but the person who took my "stolen goods" - Roquefil is investigating "Summer Night".
But if you analyze it carefully, "Summer Night" is also not a person worthy of Rockfield, unless ......
Unless, after she got those three "heads", something happened that I didn't know about, but it was very important.
Only in this way is it truly worth a Roquefell.
And here, there is another very important key point that I would like to remind the readers of the diary:
Rockfield's appointment as a director of "Aether Exploration" is not the same as her appointment from "Aether Exploration" - there is a fundamental difference between the two.
This distinction means that there is one or more directors who want to solve the problem of "summer nights" in their own way.
