Another person who came in together was a first-level staff member of the association, wearing a white and silver "First Witness" mask.
As soon as the Martyr of Truth sat down, Sean sneered in accordance with his previous thoughts: "I don't know what mistake I made. It feels like I was taken to a discipline center for questioning."
The other party shook his head and said sincerely: "Mr. Sean, don't get me wrong. The association will not treat the hero who prevented the situation from getting worse in that way - all this is routine. I will ask you a few questions, and you can just tell me the situation at that time. .
"After all, when it comes to the return of angels, the Divine Court will definitely ask." The Martyr of Truth took out a black pen from the upper pocket of his suit and slowly opened it, "The association must prepare a detailed incident report. You guys Just helping out."
He nodded solemnly and introduced himself: "Also, Mr. Sean, my name is Richard Norman."
Sean still played the role of the disgruntled newcomer: "Okay, Mr. Norman, I accept your statement. However, before I report on what happened, I ask that the association misjudge the incident level. Give me a reasonable explanation - this is not an over-the-top mistake, this is a major mistake that can destroy our entire team!"
Before the conversation, express your dissatisfaction with the misjudged matter to vaguely dominate the conversation. Not only that, Sean can also find out from the sidelines whether there is a conspiracy against him behind the misjudgment of the level.
Richard nodded: "Your attitude is correct - I am also an explorer of the association, and I don't want to die one day because of the misjudgment of some damn staff member!
Richard clasped his hands and said seriously: "The reason why we were able to launch the rescue in time this time was because the Daedalus Foundation's 'Contract Failure Early Warning System' issued a warning, and we received a transoceanic line from their headquarters. ——Without the Foundation’s warning, we might not know the exact situation until now.”
Sean nodded, his tone extremely serious: "According to my deceased companion, the association has records of all powerful containment cases, and there is no such thing as an unknown containment case suddenly appearing...
Sean paused, his plan to be very angry. But I remembered that in the cellar, when Wilson took off his mask and wanted to form a fixed team with himself and Moonlight, that young and sincere face eventually turned into a roll of dried bones...
There was really a burst of anger in his heart. He paused and tried to control the emotions in his heart: "It was because of his trust in the association that he let us enter that maze, which led to this tragedy!"
Sean's tone rose a lot, and Richard nodded slightly in the darkness to show that he understood how he felt. When Sean calmed down a bit, he continued: "This is actually an...unfortunate coincidence.
"The early warning system at Daedalus headquarters is actually the final reminder after all insurance measures have failed.
"Naturally, the association will not intentionally put you in danger, nor will it be so careless that it cannot find relevant information..." Richard sighed, "This actually involves a historical event. In this historical event, There are many similar materials that have been passed down..."
Sean raised his eyes: "What historical event?"
"The War of Independence."
Sean frowned: "Why did the War of Independence lead to the loss of containment information?"
“Sean, you have to know that Newland’s current exploration industry was actually only established after the Revolutionary War.
“After the Summer Flower arrived in Newland with the first settlers, and until the Revolutionary War, there was no native group of Explorers in Newland.
"Our ancestors encountered evil events, and they could only pay a high price and invite explorers from Europe to solve them.
"Later, as evil events and ancient religions caused more and more damage, the then King of Leon ordered the establishment of an exploratory organization in New Landel, mainly composed of Leon Explorers. All important events at that time The information is naturally recorded and kept by this organization.
"But the War of Independence drove the army and government organizations of the Kingdom of Leon back to the continent. The exploration organization, which was mainly composed of Leonese, naturally took away a batch of information and destroyed a batch of information - it was a kind of investigation of New Zealand. Randall’s independent revenge…
"Unfortunately, the containment information in the underground labyrinth of Levin Town should be among the batch of information that was destroyed...
"So when the association staff analyzed the evil incidents reported by the townspeople, they simply determined it to be a Jack-level mission based on the scale of casualties.
"In addition, Sean, what I want to tell you is that the career of an explorer is full of uncertainty. Mysteries are uncontrollable. We can only adapt to events...
The incomplete information caused by the War of Independence led to the association's misjudgment of the incident, and this misjudgment was not an isolated case. In addition, the "Explorer's Manual" also states that the mission level may change drastically due to various factors...
The expression on Sean's face was still serious, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "There is no need for the association to deceive me about this - if the reason for the misjudgment is unknown, Richard can tell me directly.
"It can only be said that in all incidents involving the Daedalus Foundation's containment, the lack of information must be due to the same reason. It seems that this is indeed an unfortunate coincidence. That organization did not penetrate into the top level of the Explorers Association. Or Said, they still don’t know that I joined the association..."
Sean nodded: "I already understand the reasons for the misjudgment. Next, I will review this incident - where should I start? From when we met?"
"Can."
…
Sean recounts the events from the time they met at St. Peter's College. The reporting process was much easier than Sean imagined. Richard did not raise any questions about Sean's story, but just nodded constantly and lowered his head to take notes in some places.
The first witness next to him was banging the typewriter on the table - his typing speed once made Sean feel a little anxious.
Sean spoke slowly and gradually, talking about how he deciphered Daedalus' cipher text in the underground labyrinth's data room and learned the most critical information - the true identity of the Skinner, who was a man who was inadvertently awakened. angel.
Richard signaled Sean to stop telling, leaned forward and asked, "According to your account, it only took you five to ten minutes to decipher and directly translate the ciphertext?"
Sean nodded calmly: "I didn't pay attention to the exact time, but based on the speed at which Egwen chased me, I guessed it was in the range of five to ten minutes."
Both Richard and the witnesses had dabbled in code deciphering and ancient text research. The two looked at each other first, and then looked at Sean blankly.
Sean shrugged: "What's wrong?"
"It is not difficult to decipher the ciphertext. After all, letters and ciphertext are in one-to-one correspondence..." Richard tried to explain, "But the writing method of Daedalus ciphertext is three-dimensional and has a unique set of writing rules. Without a lookup table, translating words one by one usually takes a lot of time...
"How did you do that?" Richard spread his hands and looked at Sean in confusion. The typist also kept glancing at Sean, as if hoping that the other party would give him a reasonable explanation.
There's nothing to hide, Sean said bluntly: "This is my function, I can do very complex text work in my mind."
"Okay..." Richard seemed to have been refreshed in his world view. He adjusted his mask and looked down at the information on the table. "I noticed that your written test score was a perfect score. I think this also shows to a certain extent. of your genius.
"You know, to achieve this level, the functional level is generally close to King level..."
