What is this equivalent to?
The international thief with monstrous abilities does not focus on top-grade cultural relics and rare treasures. He waits every day to steal the tea vat from the second uncle's grandfather's house in the east of the village.
It was really hard for Dean to convince himself that there was nothing wrong with this.
Either there is something wrong with the "tea vat", or there is something wrong with the "second uncle", or there is something wrong with the "international thief"... Anyway, there is absolutely no clarity here.
"There is also the previous 'White Mist Incident'. I'm afraid it has something to do with them, right?"
Lensak didn't answer.
In fact, it is not difficult to think of these two things together.
The familiar elements of white mist, the almost traceless hiding ability, and the elusive whereabouts.
Even Dean, who had never been involved in that incident, could relate to it, let alone the Knights who were involved.
As early as when the news from the mist world came back, they had already pulled out the files of the last incident and started researching it.
Although I haven't found any useful information yet, at least I have a direction.
For example, the enemy does have some unusual concerns about Area 13.
Where this attention comes from and what it is for, there is no conclusion yet, but in detail... there are nothing more than two ideas.
Either you can't leave, or you don't want to leave.
No matter what the possibility is, it is not a good outcome for District 13.
Lensak leaned back on the chair and felt his shoulders sink. In his extraordinary inspiration, a dark and strange aura was like a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity to move.
This was a warning to him from his extraordinary senses. Unfortunately, Rensac was not good at divination. There was no warning, but he was powerless. He could only stare and passively face this situation where the enemy was in darkness and we were clear.
No, maybe it's not all about darkness and darkness.
White fog incident, fog world...
An extremely bad guess emerged in his mind, and just thinking about that possibility made Lensak's heart sink to the bottom.
"What did you think of?"
Dean was keenly aware of this change, and he asked directly, sharply, revealing his determination to get to the bottom of things.
Lensak still didn't answer.
He did have suspicions, but the object of his suspicions was too special. If he couldn't get evidence, things would become very complicated.
Thinking about the possible consequences, even Lensak, who was not afraid of trouble, couldn't help but feel a headache.
It’s difficult.
If it was really what he guessed, then this matter... might be really difficult to deal with.
Hiding his complicated emotions, Lensak looked up at the knights in front of him who were trying their best to support themselves but could not hide their fatigue, as well as Lucy who had already begun to yawn, and his expression softened a bit.
"I already understand the general situation. You can go back and rest first."
"Don't forget to find someone to see Lucy off. President Dean and I still have some things to discuss. I'm afraid it won't end too early."
This is what some people talk about.
Dean's straight back slowly relaxed. He waved to Lucy and warned: "Go back first and have a good sleep. I will stay here for a while longer."
The knight next to him immediately volunteered to stand up.
"Don't worry, we will return her to the breeding room safely."
Dean nodded politely and watched the student leave the room.
The originally crowded office quickly emptied out, and when the adjutant opened the door, only Dean and Lensak were left in the room.
People leave, what happens next?
Meeting Dean's eyes, Lensak knew that the matter had reached this point and could no longer be vague, so he simply confessed: "I do have someone to suspect, but I can't tell you."
"It's not that I don't want to, but..."
He stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture to his mouth.
"You know, some confidentiality rules."
"I can only say that...it involves areas that need to be banned."
What kind of information is this?
Dean felt as if he had opened the package of the Manchu Banquet, only to find a steamed bun inside.
The gap was so big that he felt like he was being fooled for a moment.
As if sensing an aura of danger from Dean, Lensak paused for a moment and added: "That's not to say I can't tell you, but I have to report to District 1 first, and I can't tell you the details until the application is approved. Information disclosed to you."
He looked helpless.
"This is already the simplest step. If you omit it again, you and I will be in big trouble."
Dean quickly caught the key words and couldn't help but interrupt him: "Am I going to be in trouble too?"
How could this still implicate him?
Lensak pointed at his tongue, and Dean looked over subconsciously. He obviously didn't find anything, but his spiritual power that was touched told him that there seemed to be something invisible to the naked eye, and it "flickered".
"These are shackles."
he explained.
"I signed the oath of being the 'Keeper of Secrets'. If I leak information casually, neither you nor I will be able to get away with it."
As soon as these words came out, Dean knew that he would never get any information from Rensak.
The profession of secret keeper is notorious in the extraordinary world.
This is a profession known for killing curiosity. They can seal information and force those who swear it to keep it secret through oaths.
The higher its energy level, the better the confidentiality effect, and the heavier the price for breaking the oath.
Unless the core "secret key" is obtained and the information is disseminated after "decryption" is completed, not only the pledgers will be counterattacked, but also the people who receive the information will be seriously contaminated.
That is pollution from knowledge. To a certain extent, it is more terrifying than infectious diseases.
It's enough to make all extraordinary people retreat.
"You should be cautious."
After saying something sinister, Dean temporarily gave up the idea of getting information from Rensak.
This is the disadvantage of not being in the imperial power system.
Although in terms of status, he and Lensak were on the same level, and it was impossible to tell who was higher and who was lower, but they were not in the same system after all.
In addition to being the person in charge of Area 13, Lensak is also a minister of the emperor, and his relationship with the empire is far closer than Dean.
If there are some things that are indeed beyond Dean's current permission to know, he won't be able to help much.
After moving his mouth, which was numb due to triggering the spell, Lensak looked at Dean and made a gesture of invitation.
"First tell me about your experience there."
"Everything is just speculation now. More information is needed to verify the specific situation."
Dean didn't mean to hide it. Regarding some of his experiences in the mist world, he really needed to find a senior transcendent for consultation.
Especially the part about that unknown force.
Raising the cup, Dean looked at the water and began to sort out his experience again.
