The Modern Age of the Mysterious

"In order to ensure that Alicia is safe... Maybe we have to give up Wright."

Give up Wright? Sean and Solomon stared at Arthur.

"Even if the death penalty is not imposed, Schrodinger will definitely not release Alicia." The New Testament detective stood up and paced slowly, "It may even try to destroy her power."

Arthur looked at Sean: "He hates Alicia."

Schrodinger knew who Alicia's potential allies were, so he had released as few clues as possible for Arthur's reasoning. Although Arthur couldn't deduce the physicist's next step, he basically understood his emotions.

The foundation possesses lobotomy technology, they can turn a female chess player who is superior in tactics into a useless person. With the threat of death removed, it is not necessarily possible to relax.

"Schrdinger rejected all pre-trial communications and we could only apply pressure from the sidelines.

"According to the information disclosed by Langzhiwan, the result should be permanent imprisonment. After that, Solomon will have a talk with Schrödinger under Langzhiwan's recommendation. At that time, the bargaining chip is to make the Ocean City branch surrender.

"If the result is not ideal, it's up to me to take the lead. The demand of the negotiation is for Alicia to be free in safety and health, and the bargaining chip at that time is the last bargaining chip: give up the philosopher's stone."

Sean already understood Arthur Merlin's thinking: he gathered himself and the others to almost prevent the evil **** from coming to the world, not to directly detonate the conflict, after all Alicia is in their hands...

His ultimate goal is to negotiate, and he has already figured out the final price: recognize the Foundation's ownership of the "Philosopher's Stone", and promise that he will not **** it again, in exchange for Alicia.

Quite a heavy price to pay.

Alicia may find it difficult to achieve the goal of destroying the Philosopher's Stone (liberating Wright). The Continental Daedalus Foundation will own this contemporary treasure.

The strength of the combined team and the Ocean City branch is enough to shake the entire Foundation. They can choose to forcibly rescue Alicia or even **** Wright. But none of this would have happened had Schrödinger been willing to negotiate. Because conflict means risk, especially with Alicia under their control. There is a possibility of failure in the rescue, which is related to the life of the female chess player, so Arthur had to make the safest decision.

After a short thought, Sean realized that this seemed to be the only feasible solution.

No one is afraid of Alicia, and her enemies must want her dead. But if they are deterred by force, and then give up the golden stone at the end of the negotiation...then everything will turn around.

"Although the negotiation is divided into two steps, there is actually no room for bargaining—

"Our bottom line is this, and finally transfer the ownership of the Philosopher's Stone in exchange for Alicia's healthy freedom."

"Of course, if the other party fails to do this, or if Alicia suffers any harm in the process..." Arthur stopped, "We will make Daedalus pay a huge price."

After the sun went down, everyone lived in this mansion.

When residents living nearby pass by this building that is usually unoccupied, they will find that the building is lit today, and there are many people coming in and out, but what they have some dull senses can hardly detect is...

On the first floor of this mansion, there was a dragon-like breathing sound. The wind of the spring night blows here, and it immediately turns into a cold and damp wind. If they accidentally entered by mistake, they might see a black dragon occupying this place. It was enough to cause a heart attack.

On the second floor, a burly man was cleaning his tea set. His heartbeat sounds like the drums of hell. If you get too close to this room, ordinary people may dream that a huge monster with bronze horns is resting in the sulfur cave that night...

The moonlight-like clear piano sound came from the third floor, which revealed a treacherous atmosphere, and the lively notes seemed to make the furniture in the whole room dance, and the person who played the piano was intoxicated by it, and the whole body The keys are shining, and the romantic dance steps are twirling...

Exquisite and gorgeous dolls like sharp blades made by famous craftsmen are turning the pages of the book under the lamp. A little thunder that lives in the dark shines when looking up at the stars.

A Lyonian who was already sleeping was snoring loudly. If a bug enters its mouth by mistake, it will enter another world, where countless secrets are stored...

Not to mention the two standing on the balcony on the third floor.

One is wearing the mask of the ups and downs of the ark, and the other has a raised beard, looking a little tired.

Residents nearby know that the old house is inhabited. But what they didn't know was that there was enough power gathered in this house to completely silence the great city of Vienna, no matter how old and evil it was.

Sean was discussing with Arthur about Dionysus just now.

The newspaper upstart believes that since Dionysus is still alive, all explorers have to abstain from drinking, otherwise any incident related to him will be a lore.

The famous detective talked about him, and used some words of "one must have some weaknesses" to prevaricate.

Sean knew that the senior in front of him must have thought about this issue as well. I'm afraid, he would rather avoid Phipides than put down the contents of his glass...

This topic was obviously unpopular, so Sean had to change the topic, which was also something he was very concerned about: "How could Alicia be arrested?"

His subtext is that the Alicia he knows is impossible to miss, impossible to lose.

Breathing out a puff of smoke towards the night sky, Arthur shook his head slightly: "She once mentioned Erwin Schrödinger to me. I can tell that she thinks this Austrian will never be her opponent...

"From this point of view, it may only be because of contempt."

Sean agrees with Arthur on one thing: if Alicia Pompey will lose in strategy, it can only be defeated by her own pride.

as predicted.

This seems to be the fate of man—the prophecy has already been written in the hearts of others.

"She had an accident in Prague. This time I happened to be Gustav who was also in Prague. I just went to see the scene of her accident."

Arthur's so-called "looked at" is probably trying to piece together the truth through details that even the gods would not pay attention to.

Sure enough, the detective told Sean what happened that night in Prague in detail, and even the trap used in the fake magic lamp to restrain Wright, as well as the two top scholars who appeared at the arrest scene, he had mastered it...

"I went to the museum to have a look, and they even put the fake back in the display case." Arthur's cheeks moved slightly, "It's like a mockery, you know."

Although he has never visited the Prague Museum, Sean seems to have seen the oil lamp that has lost its luster in the eyes of the explorers, quietly displayed in the corner showcase.

Fakes are deadly enough.

"Actually, apart from the bad situation you saw, I have great confidence in handling this matter well."

"Why?" Sean asked.

"Because I know Erwin Schrödinger—he's not a lunatic. Although he hates Alicia, he won't do anything that violates his moral standards..."

"Do you mean?"

"For example, although he must have thought of killing Alicia, he will only go through the trial process, and will not kill people directly in prison... Even if it is very easy for him now arrived.

"So," the detective put the cigarette on his fingertips to his mouth, and took a light puff, "So I know that if he can put enough pressure on him and create a public opinion environment, he will most likely let Alicia die —To be honest, he is more than just being reasonable, he can be called benevolent.”

"But we don't know what that **** dream was about."

"That's right. So never take it lightly. If it turns out in hindsight it was just a projection of your deepest anxiety ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then thank God."

The two were silent for a while. Here you can overlook Hassenhill Castle in the northeast. The headquarters of the Daedalus Foundation, a royal property gifted by Hakkana IV in recognition of the foundation's protection of Vienna. Alicia Pompey is in the dungeon there.

"If she came out and found out that we sold Wright, she would kill us."

Arthur scratched his head in distress: "We have to be careful then."
