Night Hacker

   Chapter 106 Disappearing Friends

  After leaving the Chengzhai District yesterday, Elizabeth's team did not go back to the Acropolis mountain area, but returned to the headquarters of the Hongyu Investigation Team in Jianggu District, an old five-storey office building.

   She didn't want to go back to the Acropolis mountain area. If most of the people in the city lived so poorly, no one should live in such a hilltop villa.

  This old office building belongs to Seth’s property. A neon sign flashing “Red Rain Investigation Team” was quickly installed in the past few days, which became the office and contact address of the investigation team.

   Elizabeth had a normal-sized head office on the fifth floor, and she slept on the sofa all night.

   She is going to pack some luggage and move in, and live here for a long time in the future.

   There are rumors outside that her personality is about to collapse, but it is not that serious. The team doctor has evaluated it, and it is about 80%.

   At that time in Guangmao Building, her personality integrity did fall to a very dangerous level. But with the improvement of the redemption process, the personality has also been greatly improved.

   Retrospective + Redemption, really a super **** combination.

   Now she is an advanced second-programmer, and it has been more than half a month since the redemption program was installed.

   At this time, Elizabeth was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looking at the street scene outside, and the crowd of office workers came and went. She was waiting for a call, a call from the company.

   She knew she needed to explain her actions yesterday.

  When Miss Chiba left, Elizabeth stood on the roof, watching the silver-winged man go away in the crowd.

   "Jianbao, I have also thought about it before. It's better to join a tribe in the wilderness, travel with a group of like-minded friends, do your own thing, and develop your own goals. It will be very happy."

   Elizabeth thought softly, "But I have a way to go."

   "The user's unhappiness has increased." The sword treasure in her hand made an electronic sound, "Activate the entertainer mode: some birds cannot be locked, and some birds can dance even with shackles."

   "Thank you, Jianbao." Elizabeth smiled and looked at the long sword in her hand, "How many modes do you have?"

  Jianbao's J-level function is so powerful that she can directly become a swordsman master.

   It's still growing, I really don't know what will happen to the Q-level function.

   And it also has such and such modes, protection mode, jester mode, entertainer mode…

   "My daily pattern is formulated according to the needs of users." Jianbao said again, "I am your mirror."

   Elizabeth really loves this sword in the stone more and more. She is worthy of being a master and knows what kind of strange things are suitable for her.

   Suddenly, the video phone on the desk rang, she went to connect, and a male electronically synthesized face appeared on the phone screen.

   Behind this face is a comprehensive team composed of the authority department, public relations department, business development department and other personnel, and also has the will of higher-level personnel.

   "Elizabeth Sterling, please report to the company about your actions in the Walled District yesterday."

   Elizabeth looked at the expressionless synthetic face almost indifferently. Without any nonsense, she said directly:

   "Santo's repurchase and renovation plan for the Walled Area failed, which is beneficial to us, and we are not currently participating in this project.

   "We have invested in a lot of real estate in Jianggu District. If we demolish and rebuild the nearby city wall, and develop another middle-class area led by Santo, it will greatly reduce the value of Seth's Jianggu real estate.

   "No matter how many thoughts I have, the fact is that Mitou's failure is our success.

"Yes, I violated the company's restrictions and declared that I was a heroic superhero. But being misunderstood as a blood eater, I could not play my worth. Now my hero image is starting to build on the streets and give Seth a new corporate image.

"The boxing district and the Walled District have changed Seth's opinion because of me. How much has our product sales and commercial value increased in all aspects? It's up to you to count. But, I, Elizabeth Seth Sterling, "

   Elizabeth fixed her blue eyes, "I am a hope for Seth to beat Santo."

On the    videophone screen, the synthetic face was still expressionless, and after a long while he said calmly:

   "Elizabeth Sterling, your permission level and campaign funding will remain the same, bye."

With a   boom, this video call is over.

   Elizabeth let out a slow sigh of relief. She passed the test, and her winning hand was still valid.

   She looked at the various documents stacked on the desk, and this evening was the time to contact the master. In the case of the fire in the city last year, she now has an explanation for the city, herself, and the master.

   Just when she checked the new intelligence information email on the computer, a lot of new things happened.

   And one of the familiar names made her heart skip a beat.

  Sofia Amick, missing, a team of Gasboyne security personnel and their vehicles are all missing.

   They also went to the Walled City yesterday to join in the fun. Shortly after entering the Daxing Walled City, all their electronic devices suddenly lost their signal and finally disappeared.

  Gaisboyne and the Mystery Bureau have sent people to the Walled City to investigate and search, but there is no surveillance in the Walled City, and satellites cannot capture it.

   "Sofia, Sophia..." Elizabeth murmured, this former close friend has changed beyond recognition.

   No blood eater is innocent.

   But this matter still affects her heart.

  Elizabeth picked up the phone and called James Amick. James is Sophia's brother, but because he was born without extraordinary talent, he only had a second-speed gear, which was a "defective".

   But because of this, James was not a blood eater and was not involved in the war for the Gasborn heir.

  Sophia has many relatives, half-brothers and cousins, so many Amicky, James is the best one for her.

   Moreover, although James also has a lot of luxuries and lack of empathy, he is not evil.

   "James, good morning." As soon as the call was connected, Elizabeth asked, "Sophia her?"

   "Missing..." James sighed, "Liz, as far as I know, the family is ready to abandon her."

  Elizabeth frowned, however, there was no surprise…

   "Before the accident, her authority had been downgraded to the sixth-level B category. She made a lot of mistakes one after another. I heard that it has been considered by our family that she is not suitable to continue to be cultivated as a potential heir.

"Now that this has happened again, after other heirs and other families know about it, they are very opposed to harming Gasborn's interests for her. Moreover, in the current situation, increasing the search efforts may be futile, but will lead to street protests. More retaliation, companies tend to stop losses in a timely manner.”

  What James said is not a secret, but the basic logic and operation of the consortium.

   There are so many potential heirs, and there will continue to be younger ones, and Sophia has made a big mistake and has been out.

   "Liz, you know that with my identity and authority, I can't make any comments, and no one will listen to me."

After   James finished saying this, he was silent for a while before continuing:

"In the past year, Sophia has changed a lot. She has a mentality of being a convert to blood eaters, and even I don't care about it. Sometimes when she sees me, she doesn't scream. But what Yosuke Harato said , she listened to almost every sentence."

   Elizabeth was also silent.

   When I was a child, there were no such big distinctions as potential heirs, defectives, and disabled people.

   Sophia and James have a very good brother and sister relationship, and now everything has changed.

"I really don't know about her situation." James sighed, "Actually, the last time I chatted with her, it was the night you returned to the party, and you knew it. It's useless for you to ask me... "

   "Well, I see, James, take care of you too."

  This call ended like this, Elizabeth took a few steps and asked Harato Yosuke it was useless.

  Sophia became like this because of the influence and manipulation of Haradou Yosuke.

   But Yosuke Harato doesn't care about Sophia's life or death...

   "Sophia, you're an idiot." Elizabeth murmured.

   She thought for a while and called the Walled City Council, but the other party responded indifferently. Of course she was a friend of the Walled City, but to investigate this matter would violate the street rules of the Walled City.

   Besides, the Mystery Bureau is already investigating this matter, and the city is also cooperating.

   Elizabeth had no choice but to call Xiaomei, Ayako, and Daoist Yucheng to the office.

  After the ceremony yesterday, she sent out an invitation to join the Red Rain investigation team to Xiaomei, a postman friend on the rooftop of Daoist Yucheng. Xiaomei can provide the investigation team with the coordination of affairs with the Walled City.

   And the Walled City Council and Xiaomei thanked the Red Rain investigation team for their help, so they accepted the invitation and joined to see.

   Now, when the three investigators heard about this, they all said that Sophia didn't know who was wrong.

   To be able to do such a single thing, and to clean up the scene afterwards, even the traces of battle, blood on the corpse, etc. could not be found. This is definitely not a sudden distress in the walled area, it is completely aborted.

   The other party still took advantage of the festival to attract all the attention of the people.

  The scene may have created an illusion, causing passers-by to walk away without even a single witness.

   "Miss Elizabeth, the reputation of the Red Rain Investigation Team on the streets and in the city is still very fragile."

  Xiaomei said bluntly, "There are some street rules that we need to abide by in order to be respected by the street.

   "Miss Amick, the street people will only applaud and applaud. If you go to the streets for a blood eater, it will only be regarded as your true face and the essence of the investigation team.

   "Besides, we shouldn't find her anymore. She and her security guards may have been sunk in the mud, or they may have been sold to some wilderness circus, and they won't be found."

   Elizabeth listened to their opinions and pondered for a while before making a decision:

   "Let's put this case in the investigation case of our investigation team. It's a normal level. You don't have to go to the streets. Ask the mystery bureau. If there are any clues, follow up."

   She didn't want to gamble on it, Sophia didn't deserve it.

  The earliest legal code that can be traced back to human civilization is the stone pillar method of the first era, which is the characteristic of the extraordinary judges:

   "An eye for an eye, a bone for a bone"

   Sophia's battle with the street, lost, paid off.

   But Elizabeth didn't want to give up either. Sophia, if this stupid bad guy should be executed according to the law, she hopes that the other party can die simply, instead of being tortured into some more inhuman monster.

   In a daze, she quietly has another plan, a master with supernatural powers!

   Tonight's contact, she wanted to ask the master for some guidance on what to do with Sophia.

   Ask for a monthly pass, ask for support, there will be Easter eggs later, the original painting of the boxing area hitting rocks~
