Chapter 54: Dr. Natalia Long

Pan Long's stealth skills have undergone many practical certifications, and they were even personally tested by Bi Lingkong, the first demon god of Great Xia.

Although he couldn't enter the stealth state in front of Bi Lingkong, as long as he successfully used his skills in the distance, and then didn't get close to Bi Lingkong's radius of a hundred zhang, and didn't look directly at her, he just quietly hid in the corner, disguising himself as a stone, then even Bi Lingkong wouldn't find out.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Bi Lingkong will not take the initiative to search. If she is vigilant and takes the initiative to probe the situation around her, the stealth skill will still not be hidden from her, and she will be able to see it.

...... But even so, the effect of this skill can already be called "strong against the sky".

Being able to work on Bi Lingkong, the strongest figure in today's Great Xia Kyushu, even if the effect will be greatly reduced, it can already be called a miraculous skill!

According to Bi Lingkong, when she assassinated Emperor Jiazi Zhao Sheng in Dongshan (later renamed Taishan) Fengzentai, if she knew this trick, where would she need to lurk in the belly of the mountain for more than ten years!

"Just go a few days in advance, those masters who set up the Zen Sealing Platform and guard the surroundings will definitely not find it!" she said confidently at the time.

Although it may be the reason why Bi Lingkong herself is stronger, so the same skill is stronger in her hands, but now Pan Long is also very strong.

At least in this world, he is one of the absolute powerhouses without a doubt.

He followed the mustachioed policeman led by the Bureau of Suppression and Suppression, and walked in the corridors of the huge underground building.

After walking for a while, the mustachioed policeman turned into a nearby room.

The room was quite large, with dozens of people working, most of them with an old-fashioned telegraph in front of them. When they entered, a telegraph was ticking, typing automatically, spitting out a long note.

Seeing the mustachioed policeman come in and sit at a separate table at the back of the room, the woman who knew at a glance that it was the leader spoke.

"Douglas, I thought you would have preferred to be alone with your pipe and the Illustrated London News, but I didn't think you would come to the telegraph centre called 'Wet Market'. ”

Douglas, the mustachioed policeman, looked a little unpleasant and said, "Dr. Long, you know that I wouldn't be so busy if it weren't for the fact that there are always some nasty people in London who need to be caught like mad dogs, and apparently no one else has the time to do it." ”

"Don't get so excited, there's nothing you can do. The woman known as "Dr. Long" smiled and said, "Since you're here, how about sitting down and having a cup of coffee?" I don't have good working conditions here, but the level of afternoon tea is the highest in the entire anti-suppression bureau. ”

Douglas sighed, walked over to her table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Soon, a staff member brought a cup of hot coffee.

"It's a bit cold this year. Dr. Long opened the topic with a daily greeting, "Maybe this winter, many people will freeze to death." ”

"Yes, members of Congress should discuss now to increase this year's public welfare budget for cold protection. Douglas said.

Dr. Long looked at him with some surprise: "Old friend, it's rare to hear you say such 'soft' words. Did you get stimulated by something, or did you suddenly become enlightened?"

Douglas smiled wryly, "I just met the Holy Grail. ”

Dr. Long almost knocked over the cup of coffee in front of her, and she hurriedly asked, "Where?"

"Moonlight Street. ”

"Who holds it?"

"A character I've never seen before, and I can't even guess my identity. "At least the immortals, most likely the named." ”

Dr. Long was not surprised: "It's not surprising that the Holy Grail, as one of the most important treasures left by the Holy Son in the world, has great power. If it weren't for the Immortals or even the Named, it would have been impossible to keep it. ”

She took a few deep breaths to calm her mind, and then said, "I finally know why you're here for meβ€”you like my expertise and want me to help you analyze who this unknown figure is, right? ”

So Douglas recounted the previous events.

He was apparently trying to be as objective as possible, describing things in a third-person manner throughout, using "Detective Douglas" instead of "I" when speaking of himself...... It seemed a little weird, but at least he made things clear.

Moreover, his relationship with Dr. Long seems to be very good, because in the narrative, he even said some unbright thoughts that he had once moved, and did not hide any of them.

Dr. Long listened to him without saying a word, and then asked some questions.

Her questions are very wonderful, more than one question, even Pan Long himself didn't think of it, she had to recall it well to remember the situation at that time.

Douglas carefully recalled, answering these questions.

When the question and answer was over, Dr. Long closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he said, "You are not wrong, he is not one of those named people we know. If I'm not mistaken, he's probably someone from another part of history. ”

"What history does he come from?"

Dr. Long took a deep breath and said, "He is from the third history, the worm defeated Si Chen, and the world where people and ghosts are indistinguishable from each other. ”

Douglas's face changed drastically, and he asked in a lost voice, "Could it be that he is the embodiment of 'worm'?"

"Probably not. When the worm enters the world, Si Chen must be alert. Dr. Long said, "According to your introduction, he is a person who has a strong accomplishment in the phases of 'winter' and 'cup', and even has a very strong personality in the 'blade'. The power of both three fields is the characteristic of the named. However...... the two phases of 'winter' and 'cup' do not normally coexist in the same person. ”

She sighed and said, "Winter is the norm of silence, of the end, and of the unattainable. The cup is the criterion for fertility and feasting. These two phases are clearly contradictory in our heavy history. On the contrary, Winter and Blade are very compatible, and I can say a lot of things casually by cultivating both of these two phases. ”

"The cup and the blade are not compatible, and the two are quite different from each other. Douglas said.

"Exactly. Therefore, in our history, there should be no existence that can master all these three phases to an extremely high realmβ€”after all, that is something that even Si Chen can't do. ”

"Then why is it determined that he comes from the history of 'worms defeating Si Chen'?"

"Because only when the worm defeats Si Chen and the rules of the world fall apart, it is possible to breed such a character in a chaotic world. Dr. Long sighed, "When you told me about it, I was puzzled. It is not uncommon for a named person to enter the world. But it is very rare for another historical namer to enter our history, and we know nothing about it. ”

She said: "The named person is the person who serves Si Chen, and their every move reflects Si Chen's wishes. A nominal person who does not belong to our history, if he wants to enter our history, Si Chen will definitely react. And once Si Chen reacts, the named ones will know. ”

She smiled slightly: "Since the named people know, of course the Anti-Suppression Bureau will know soon." ”

Douglas nodded, not at all disagreeing or skeptical.

This made Pan Long even more sure that there was indeed a named person behind the Anti-Suppression Bureau, and ...... There may be more than one.

"But if he is a figure from the Third History, then he is not a named person at all, but a 'self-reliant immortal'. ”

"Self-reliant Immortals?, what's that?" Douglas couldn't help but ask, hearing words he had never heard before.

"That is the person who independently entered the highest place of Mansu, immersed himself in the supreme infinite light, and obtained immortality without the help of Si Chen's power. Dr. Long said, "There is no such person in our history. Because of the existence of the Three-Pointed Gate, everyone must get Si Chen's permission and guidance before they can enter the top of the Mansu. But in the third history, Si Chen has lost control of Mansu, and as long as a mortal has enough wisdom, talent, resources, and luck, he can reach the highest place of Mansu on his own and obtain eternal life. ”

Douglas shook his head: "The third history has begun to disperse because of the worms. It is very difficult for mortals to get out of the state of being alive in a state of confusion. Not to mention entering the highest part of the mangaku. ”

Yes, according to common sense, it is. Dr. Long nodded, "So the existence of the 'Self-Reliant Immortal' has been just a guess for a long time. Or rather, it's just a pure conjecture based on the academic field. ”

Her eyes lit up, and her face showed a little excitement: "But now, this may not be a conjecture! Just now, a figure who is likely to be a self-reliant immortal, and who has reached an extremely high level on that path, even comparable to the named, appeared in front of us!"

"If you can find him and talk to him well, you will definitely be able to get a lot of information about the Third History from him, and even a lot of information about Mansu!" her voice was a little louder, and she couldn't help but get excited, "About the highest place of Mansu, the three-pointed gate, and everything behind the door...... The immortals of our world can't narrate, and the named ones don't want to introduce it, because Si Chen has restrictions on thisβ€”but he doesn't have this restriction, he can speak as much as he wants!"

"Calm down! Dr. Long! Calm down!" Seeing that she became more and more excited, even a little too excited, Douglas hurriedly spoke out to dissuade her.

It took him a while to persuade Dr. Long to calm down again.

Pan Long watched coldly from the side, and couldn't help but be a little amused.

This "Dr. Dragon" seems to be a quiet and silent scholar, but when it comes to the knowledge she cares about, he is more excited and excited than Detective Douglas who faces the temptation of treasure.

He believed that if he appeared in front of this woman, as long as he revealed a little information about the "other worlds", he could easily deceive the secrets of the Anti-Suppression Bureau from her.

(maybe...... Can you give it a try?)

He couldn't help but think so.

Exchanging knowledge for knowledge is a fair and reasonable thing. He was indeed able to give her the news of "other worlds", although it was not the "third history" she imagined, but at least in the "other worlds" point, he did not lie.

It should be a fair deal to exchange this knowledge for information about the Anti-Suppression Bureau, right?

Pan Long thought about this very seriously.

Dr. Long, who had regained his composure, took a sip of the coffee in his cup, and then said with a high spirit, "I'm going to look up the information, find information related to the Third History, and try to find a way to contact that person." Douglas, my old friend. If you meet him again, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please contact me at once – you know how to contact me. ”

"Use a life charm for something like this?" Douglas was taken aback, and even changed his name, "Natalia Dragon, you're one of my best friends. I'm willing to take risks to help you if you really want to. But...... It's too wasteful and too dangerous to use a life charm just to deliver a message!"

"The life spell isβ€”"

Dr. Long interrupted his persuasion: "Don't persuade, Douglas, my good friend. Of course, I knew that activating the Life Charm would hurt me, and that it wouldn't be able to heal anytime soon - it was meant to be used as a last resort to spur me to sobriety when I might lose control and fall into an anomaly like madness. But please understand a woman who has been ridiculed in the analysis of multiple histories, squeezed out of academia, and discredited!"

She shook Douglas's hand, and Pan Long noticed a deep scar on her wrist β€” the mark of a suicide attempt to cut her wrists.

"Douglas, you saved my life, words are not enough to express my gratitude to you. I'm always willing to take the risk for you if you need it. But now, I really ...... I really need to find that person! The study of multiple histories is one of the most important things in my life! Please understand me!"

Douglas looked into her eyes and was silent for a long time, before finally sighing deeply.

"I shouldn't have come. He said.

"But you're already here!"

"I regret it. ”

"You shouldn't regret it, you made the right choice!"

β€œ...... I feel like I'm wrong. ”

"No! you don't!"

Douglas had a look of exhaustion on his face, the first time this arrogant, unfriendly, greedy man had shown such a weak expression.

"I see, Natalia, I assure you. If I see that person again who may be a 'self-reliant immortal', I will try to persuade him to meet you, but if I can't, I will use the Life Charm to inform you as a last resort. ”
