Sean, who was surprised by Olivia's answer, turned over and faced the direction of the girl: "Because you are dead?"
Olivia nodded with a slightly confused look on her face. Obviously, recalling is not an easy task for her: "I remember, my original last name was Finch..."
Sean sat up from the bed as if he was struck by lightning: "You, you were..."
Olivia nodded slightly: "I am the granddaughter of Dal Finch.
“I died due to some accident.
"In order to keep me by his side, grandpa used precision alchemy technology to create me..."
Was Olivia Wind Chime made by Dal Finch to save his lost granddaughter? !
In the darkness, Sean's jaw slackened and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"So... there is still a human soul in your body?"
Olivia nodded.
Resurrecting the dead granddaughter as an alchemy doll...
No matter how you look at this matter, it is somewhat deviant and controversial.
He did not expect that the legendary "Father of Precision Alchemy", the pinnacle of his life, would have such a heartbreaking and surprising story behind him.
"But..." Olivia blinked her ruby eyes, "Grandpa seemed to regret it later."
“He said he was sorry for not giving me the peace my dead man deserved.
"Because of my guilt and longing, I actually left me in this world without authorization."
"In order to make my second life meaningful, he gave me the mission of being a candle bearer after witnessing the assassination of my colleagues in the reading club.
"So, I have to protect you now, Sean."
In the darkness, red eyes flashed.
Sean was silent for a long time and asked, "Will you blame him?"
Olivia shook her head: "Peace will come sooner or later, and I will still die.
"Before that, I can see more of the world and be with Sean's... you guys.
"Although I can't laugh like I did when I was in flesh and blood, I feel very happy in my heart."
Sean sighed: "Then you have to be happy for a little longer, otherwise Dal Finch will probably scold me to death if he knows something secret - don't rely on your own body to recover, and just be my shield all the time. .”
What flashed through his mind was the image of black ice destroying the machine body.
The recovery effect of memory metal will gradually degrade - there is nothing in the world that can be restored infinitely.
Stubborn Olivia nodded.
"You are mankind's treasure and wealth, you are the granddaughter that an old man misses so much, you are our companion..." Sleep came over, Sean turned over on the bed, "You can't end up with a messy fate here with me. ...Even if I have to leave one day, I must leave intact and peacefully..."
He fell asleep talking to himself.
Olivia blinked.
In the darkness, the precise girl narrowed her eyes slightly, with a little crimson light in her eye sockets, and the corners of her mouth curved:
"Grandpa, thank you..."
——
The next morning, Sean woke up very early.
The days of group activities are over and he can finally move around freely.
According to the arrangement last night, Sean and Olivia, and Moonlight and Ivan, will go to different places to conduct visits and investigations.
The primary goal is: to find the whereabouts of the "Queen".
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Sean met Detective Solomon again in the corridor.
It is now six o'clock in the morning, and the European detective is fully dressed and holding a briefcase in his hand.
Seeing Sean, he was full of energy, smiled, and raised the bowler hat on his head: "Good morning, Mr. Dirac."
"Good morning, Mr. Solomon."
"Where are you going so early?"
"Oh... I've finished writing yesterday's news report. I'm going to the post office to send it back to the agency." This was indeed Sean's plan.
Solomon raised his eyebrows, stopped in his hurry, and pointed at Sean seriously: "I admire people who focus on their work very much."
Blinking, he hurried forward and disappeared outside the hotel door.
——
After leaving the hotel, Sean and Olivia took the tram to the Ocean City Post Office, which is located on the edge of the commercial area.
The Ocean City Post Office is a massive six-story building located next to the television broadcast station.
After leading Olivia out of the car, the two hurriedly walked into the post office - he had to save time, after all, his primary purpose was to visit and investigate.
Although it is still early and the post office has just opened, there are already many people waiting in line here.
Sean took a quick look and found that half of the six people in line were his colleagues.
"Friend, which newspaper are you from?" Sean held a document bag containing the manuscript he typed last night under his arm. You could tell he was a reporter from his dress and temperament. The short man in front wearing black glasses and a brown peaked cap asked enthusiastically.
"Daily News," Sean said with a smile, having to try his best to play his identity, "Dirac."
"Rongguang City Post, you can call me Hoffman."
The two shook hands quickly and sincerely.
"You must have just come here, right?" Waiting for the yawning postal worker in navy blue uniform to open the door, Hoffman asked easily, "How are you, do you like it here?"
"Besides the food and not being able to see the sky, everything was perfect," Sean laughed. Beside him, the petite Olivia lowered her octagonal hat, looking like a shy newcomer to the press - the Naiya Shenyu passive that continued to take effect on her made those who just saw her forget it in the blink of an eye. Without her presence, it was difficult to focus on her.
"Haha... food..." Hoffman laughed, as if Sean had hit the point, "It's either fish or shrimp, or shrimp or clams.
“I used to like seafood, but after staying here for a week, I think it’s hard for me to fall in love with seafood again.
"I can't get used to the meat they eat here. Now I just want to drink soup and eat bread."
Sean's eyebrows slightly raised in his mind: He seems to be an outsider who doesn't eat much meat... Maybe we can get some information from him?
With this in mind, Sean fully displayed the reporter's tendency to inquire for information: "It seems like something happened in the city yesterday. Do you know what happened?"
Hoffman suddenly became elated and said, "Man, I'm telling you, something big has happened!
"I heard that a core member of the Daedalus Foundation stole the foundation's most important property and is still hiding in Ocean City...
"The Ocean City Sheriff's Department and Daedalus turned Ocean City upside down last night, and they still haven't been able to find her!"
"She?" Sean frowned, "Is she a woman?"
"It seems to be called Alicia?" Hoffman waved his hand, "I can't get the list of their insiders...
"Hey, it's useless even if we do it! This is just something we can talk about between us. News involving the foundation cannot be published in newspapers around the world, as you know."
Sean nodded understandingly.
“What is that most important possession?”
Hoffman pinched his chin, frowned and said, "It seems to be a relic that contains some secret treasure..."
"I heard that the value of that thing is equivalent to half of the wealth of the Daedalus Foundation."
Sean's eyes widened slightly: A powerful organization with influence all over the world, half of the wealth?
What did the Queen steal?
When it comes to mysterious things, reporters who ask about the ordinary world can only get vague rumors.
Sean changed his mind and asked: "Mr. Hoffman, I just got here and I don't have a clue yet. Where do you think I can get something worth writing about?"
"You can go and see the United Church." Hoffman said with a mysterious smile, "They seem to be on Sunday today - that's a specialty of Ocean City. You'll know it when you go there."
United Church? What is the union of religions? Doubts arose in Sean's mind.
"Also!" Hoffman raised a finger, "Sewage City."
"Sewage City District?" Judging from the name, it seems like a place that would not appear in Ocean City.
Hoffman lowered his voice and said, "The tour guides here always want us to promote the perfect side of Ocean City.
"I think the sewage district reflects another side of Ocean City..."
