Olivia Wind Chime glanced at Sean with confusion: as a candle bearer, she had always been vigilant and observed her surroundings with her sharpest senses to prevent anyone from approaching or eavesdropping. However, she didn't realize anyone was coming before the doorbell rang.
Not only that, but Sean was unaware of the ectoplasm that dispersed. It wasn't until the doorbell rang that he felt someone standing there.
who is it?
He signaled his teammates to be calm with his eyes, and walked steadily to the door. After looking outside with a peephole, Sean opened the door in surprise.
The person outside the door was wearing a black pinstriped shirt and a gray suit jacket draped over his shoulders. The stubble had just sprouted on his face, and he smelled faintly of tobacco.
Arthur Merlin.
Unexpectedly, this Ace-level ally would appear, and Sean was slightly dazed. Arthur's smile was a little tired: "You won't invite me in?"
Only then did Sean welcome this rare guest in.
"The new house is nice." He turned around and winked, "Also, congratulations on your promotion!"
"To be honest, I should have brought a gift to visit you," he said, turning to the living room and seeing Sean's teammates there, "Are you guys here too? That's just right."
He hung his coat on the hanger, his tired smile faded, and he looked at everyone present - Sean had never seen him show such an expression before. "Something happened to Alicia," he said.
·
Arthur Merlin listened to Sean's story about prophetic dreams. His expression was calm and he kept frowning. The ice cubes in the glass slipped and made a crisp sound in the whiskey.
The Ace-class soul is so vast, as if a large amount of sea water has compacted the flow of emotions here. Everyone feels less upset and remains peaceful.
"This is not good..." Arthur caught a glimpse of Alicia being swallowed by blue fire in Sean's description.
He put the wine glass on the table: "The scene you saw hasn't happened yet...
"However, I'm afraid it will become a reality soon." Arthur's eyes could make people's hearts freeze.
"What happened?" Yueguang felt a little depressed.
Arthur took out a cigarette, asked Olivia, the only woman present, and lit it after getting permission: "After leaving Ocean City, she has been taking Wright to find a way to destroy the Philosopher's Stone and lift the eternal curse..." Snap With a bang, Arthur closed the steel lighter and took a deep breath of cigarette, "As a result, they were caught by people from the European Daedalus Foundation.
"The Foundation is headquartered in Vienna," Arthur sighed, "They have had law enforcement rights against insiders since the sixteenth century.
"The current Continental President, Erwin Schrödinger, plans to put Alicia on trial."
After Arthur said the next words, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, as if the sea had frozen——
"Alicia killed the three powerful men, as well as Rabbi Lins...the outcome of the trial is no other than the death penalty."
Sean raised his head and saw Yueguang's shocked eyes: Alicia, that all-powerful female chess player has been caught? !
This was the worst possible situation for her. Not only that……
"Where's Wright?" Sean narrowed his eyes and felt the blood vessels on his forehead pulsing - Wright is the human-shaped philosopher's stone, one of the most powerful mysterious weapons in the world. Alicia was captured, which meant that he was also likely to fall into the hands of Daedalus in Europe.
"He was arrested by Schrödinger." Arthur closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, "The Ocean City branch has become a mess..."
Sean was still calm: "Erwin Schrödinger? Is he capable of catching Alicia?"
In Sean's mind, the female chess player has the most clever and far-reaching strategies in the world, and the world is her chessboard. As long as she wanted to, it was possible to regain the European branch within ten years. Why was she caught by Schrödinger?
Arthur spread his hands, the meaning was clear: even if it was impossible, it had already happened.
"Who is Schrödinger?" asked Evan Burns. Beyond the mystery involved, it was a mystery to him.
"A well-known Austrian scholar, as reported by the news media a while ago, used modern scientific methods to explain the mysterious superposition state. The cat that was both dead and alive in the box was proposed by him."
When it came to who Schrödinger was, Ivan didn't know; but when it came to his cat, the mystical scholar nodded.
Quantum mechanics proposed by Schrödinger, which is esoteric and difficult for the public to understand, from the perspective of explorers, is to use modern scientific methods to explain subtle mysterious phenomena. In Ivan's eyes, this man is similar to his predecessors who studied precision alchemy hundreds of years ago. The Daedalus Foundation has inherited its academic research background since ancient times. Today's brightly-named quantum mechanics and biology are just like precision alchemy and life weaving back then. The Foundation is not only an organization that monitors the containment of forgotten angels and dangerous objects, but also a mysterious academic institution.
It is not surprising that Erwin Schrödinger succeeded Rabbi Lins Pompeo as director of the foundation.
However, although Schrödinger was an outstanding thinker and scientist, Sean knew that he was not a strong leader or strategist. Hearing that the European branch he led had captured Alicia was just like hearing that he had defeated the world's top professional chess player, which always seemed impossible.
"Is it possible, is..." Sean didn't finish his words, but Arthur completely accepted it.
"There is no evidence to support this conjecture." Arthur did not think that Alicia was deliberately caught by Schrödinger, because...
"Because as far as I know, she was almost able to achieve her goal, liberating Wright. But she fell into a trap at the last step and fell short... There was no need for her to let the situation deteriorate so much."
Now, Alicia has been stripped of her powers by Daedalus' technology and is being guarded by a team led by Ace. Wright, who was the philosopher's stone, was imprisoned separately...
Even if there is still some time before the trial, she may die in prison at any time.
This situation was completely uncontrollable and could not have been planned intentionally by her.
The most cunning chess players actually step into the trap.
From this point of view, there is only one possibility for such an unexpected result: Alicia underestimated the enemy.
Moreover, Schrödinger most likely took advantage of her strong desire to liberate Wright and laid a trap in the final stage when she was about to achieve her goal...
That super scholar who dabbles in quantum mechanics, biology, and anthropology, Schrödinger, who seems not to be proficient in strategy, is much more terrifying than imagined.
"What can we do?" Sean said. "I mean, how can we rescue her?"
Sean has not forgotten that he is a member of the Candlelight Reading Club, and has not forgotten how Alicia helped him find Aaliyah. Even for the purpose of preparing for the horror of the future, everything points to a Fact - the female chess player, he must save.
Arthur drank down the glass of wine, stood up, and stood in front of the window and looked out: "I have given my teammates a gathering order, and I want to join them first.
"You should set off as soon as possible and rush to Vienna as quickly as possible. We will meet on the European continent."
