After listening to Lizzy's story, Angel tended to agree with her guess.
Indeed, if the general environment at that time is taken into account, Xia Diya might actually be a spy sent by other organizations.
"Then where do you think she is a spy?" Angel asked.
Lizzy: "It's hard to be sure. Prada Media and the Dark Roundtable, both organizers of the three competitions, are slightly more likely. But we can't rule out other secret organizations. As far as I know, there were many secretly active ones during that time.
Covert organizations, and outpost organizations from other cities.”
"They could all send spies to us."
Although there are currently only three major organizations in Modern City on the surface, there are actually many secret associations. Including the Hermits that Angel previously joined, it is actually considered a secret organization.
As long as it is an organization that is not under the management of the Fashion Guild, it is possible to send spies.
Therefore, it is still difficult to determine which organization Xia Diya is a spy.
"Is it possible to determine her identity and former residence through some circumstantial evidence without knowing which organization Xia Dia comes from?"
The focus of the side mission "Returning Home" is to return Xia Diya to her home. It does not need to be clear about which family sent her as a spy.
Perhaps, we can bypass the process and get the result directly?
After hearing this, Li Zi shook her head: "It's impossible. If you want to send her bones back to her home, you must first confirm her social identity, because it is very likely that 'Xiadia' was only when she was a spy.
His name is not his real name."
To determine her "real name", the only way Lizzy could think of was to investigate the cause of "who sent the spy."
After all, the organization that sent the spies must know the true identity of "Xiadia".
But now the problem has returned to the previous situation. How to determine which family Xadia is a spy from?
Li Zi pondered for a moment and said, "I actually have a method."
"This is not the age of spies five years ago. Whether it is Prada Media or the Dark Round Table, at least they have not broken up with us on the surface and are still in harmony." Lizzy: "So, if I use the name of returning the bones
Contact them and there may be a chance of getting some information."
"but……"
Li Zi said halfway, but hesitated again.
"But what?" Angel wondered.
Li Zi shook her head and did not immediately answer Angel's doubts. Instead, she analyzed by herself: "If Xia Diya comes from Prada Media, it would actually be easier to deal with, because Prada Media has already stretched her legs, and their responsibility is
I know Yusup, he is a money-hungry person. If the money is enough, he will give you any information."
"However, I personally guess that Xia Diya will most likely not come from Prada Media."
"After the big change five years ago, many magicians from Prada Media joined the Fashion Guild. Judging from my understanding of them and what I learned from them about the internal situation of Prada Media, Prada Media's attitude toward itself
The employees are very friendly.”
Even those magicians who left their jobs to join the Fashion Guild have never said anything bad to Prada Media. Even now, Prada Media is on the verge of collapse without being completely crushed by the Fashion Guild because of the intercession of this part of the magicians.
It can be seen from this that even if employees of Prada Media voluntarily resign, or even "betrayed" in the eyes of others, they still have a good impression of Prada Media, which is enough to show how affectionate Prada Media is to its employees and the magicians.
righteous.
"So, if Xia Diya really comes from Prada Media, judging from the importance they attach to every employee, it is impossible for them to not make any move when they find out that Xia Diya has not been contacted for five years."
"Therefore, I judge that Xiadia may not be from Prada Media."
Angel also agreed with Lizzy's point of view. Xiadia was declared missing five years ago. If she came from Prada Media, with Yusup's character, she would at least ask about it, even if she didn't search for Lizzy in a big way.
But the reality is that Xia Diya's disappearance is like a stone thrown into the mud. It sank completely without causing any ripples or even an echo.
In five years, no one came to look for information about Xia Diya.
It was as if Xia Diya was a ghost without identity, without any social connections.
This is obviously not normal.
"So, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities for Xia Diya's identity." Li Zi: "First, she comes from another city-state."
Modern City is a "new city". In the eyes of the magician organizations in other cities, it is a brand new cake. If possible, they naturally want a piece of the cake.
Therefore, there are actually many secret societies from the outer city within the modern city.
If Xia Diya comes from these secret societies, it is reasonable for her to have disappeared for many years without being noticed. Because the number of people in these societies is not large, if there are spies among them, they will basically die. In other words, they were sent here
The original intention of becoming spies may have been to give up death, so even if they really died, they would not cause any ripples.
"But isn't Xia Diya an ordinary person? Moreover, her position is still that of a cleaning lady. Can she really be a death chamber?" Angel was a little doubtful.
Li Zi: "Of course, death is not necessarily their voluntary choice. The more ordinary people are, the easier it is to exploit their weaknesses. For example, threatening them with their relatives, threatening them with their children... Moreover, ordinary people have no mental resistance and are more susceptible to magic.
Teacher’s brainwashing.”
All in all, even if Xia Diya is an ordinary person, she may die.
"The second possibility is that Xia Diya may come from the underground neighborhood."
According to Lizi's analysis, if Xiadia is not from another city-state, then the only possibility left is the "underground neighborhood".
Because the underground streets seem to have a certain order, but if you get to the bottom of it, they are actually chaotic.
No birth certificate, no death certificate, no identity statistics, no social contact...
This is the norm in underground neighborhoods.
"There are many digital towns in the underground neighborhoods, such as the first town, the second town...and so on. The people in these small towns are a little better. At least they have social relations such as neighbors."
"But what's more common in underground neighborhoods is people who hang out outside these small towns. These people have no social identity at all..."
If Xia Diya came from an underground neighborhood and was not a resident of a small town, then it would be reasonable for her to have been missing for many years without being noticed.
Even if Xia Diya is a resident of the underground town, her disappearance will not cause any trouble.
Do the people in the underground neighborhood still dare to go to the surface and even surround Tina Building to speak out for Xia Diya?
Obviously impossible.
Moreover, most of the organizations that use ordinary people in underground neighborhoods as spies have a "use and throw away" mentality and will not care about Xia Diya's unexplained disappearance.
Li Zi sighed: "I'm afraid of these two situations now. The former will never be found, and the latter will have to be found by luck..."
Angel thought for a while and said, "She shouldn't be from the outer city."
The scope of the dungeon is limited, only within Modern City, and the font color of the "mission objective" is normal, which means it can be completed.
In other words, Xiadia's home is definitely not in another city-state.
"It's not the outer city..." Lizi didn't ask Angel how he judged, and just murmured in a low voice: "If Xia Diya comes from the underground neighborhood, then I can only pray that she was sent by the Dark Round Table.
"
At least, there is still a certain order in the Dark Round Table, and there may be information about Xia Dia.
As for other organizations in the underground neighborhood... they really don't treat spies as human beings.
"I'll contact the Dark Roundtable and Prada Media later." Lizzy: "Although according to my speculation, the possibility of Prada Media is not very high, it cannot be completely ruled out."
Angel nodded: "Contact me when you have the results."
Li Zi nodded, "If it doesn't work in the end, I can only go and see if anyone's style eye has awakened the information ability..."
"Style Eye awakens information ability?" Angel was stunned.
Li Zi: "The Stylish Eye has the greatest bonus to the ability to 'see', especially the hidden abilities of the Stylish Eye. Many of the bonuses to the eyes are like the pupil technique in a novel."
For example, Lizzy heard that someone has an eye for style and can see hidden information in things.
Like Xia Diya's bones, Li Zi seemed to be able to confirm the gender of the bones at most; but a magician who had awakened the ability to "see hidden information in things" might be able to identify Xia Diya's identity at a glance.
"However, I just heard that someone has such an ability, but it's not true, and I don't know. Anyway, I'll tell you when the time comes. At least the clues in this case are not dead ends yet."
Lizzy's words also reminded Angel.
In fact, it is not necessarily necessary to check step by step.
Fashion magic is very functional and auxiliary, and many fashion magic can actually be used for this task.
Just like what Xia Diya said about style eye.
Also, Angel now possesses the puzzle pieces of the time radio. Maybe with some powerful abilities, he can use the time radio to trace Xiadia's past...
Moreover, the fragments of the "Style Eye" are actually beckoning to Angel. Once things are over with him, go to Modern Middle School and complete the mission of "Miss Halloween" to get the fragments of the Style Eye.
When the time comes, if you borrow a little luck from Kang Mu, the destined person, you might be able to develop the ability of "seeing hidden information" of Style Eye.
Thinking of this, Angel's dull mood, which was still trapped in the "returning home" mission, was instantly relieved.
He was even in the mood to chat with Lizzy about other topics.
Just like "Irena".
Irina, an NPC with a story that Gleipnir discovered before.
At that time, near Prada Media Company, Gleipnir happened to hear Irena's name, so he saw Irena's personal information.
Irena is currently a front-desk staff member of Prada Media Company, but according to NPC information, her true identity is actually a spy planted by Tina Entertainment.
And Irena also has a side mission "Girl on a Tightrope".
It just so happened that they were now talking about the topic of "spies", and Angel was also quite curious about the information about Irena.
Moreover, Gleipnir had vaguely revealed before that he wanted to contact Irena to complete her side mission. Angel didn't mind asking her for some information in advance.
"I didn't expect that sir, even Irena knew about it." Li Zi was a little surprised: "I also checked the internal spy list when I suspected Xia Diya was a spy and saw Irena."
"Then do you know anything about her?" Angel asked.
Lizzy: "I have not had contact with Irena, but according to internal intelligence, Irena was a spy who was sent to Prada Media three years ago."
"The department she is directly responsible for is the Foreign Affairs Department, so I don't know much about Irina's personal personality, acting style, etc. Only the Foreign Affairs Department knows."
"However, Irina has a special place among many spies. She comes from an underground neighborhood, which is why I am so impressed by her."
Angel was stunned: "Underground neighborhood?"
Li Zi nodded: "It is said that she was a cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I met her in the underground neighborhood. She was originally a fraudster who was caught because she deceived the cadre into exposing his flaws. Then it was discovered that she is an extremely talented person.
He is an acting personality and acts like anything he wants, so he was taken to the headquarters for training and became a spy."
Lizzy: "Sir, if you are interested in Irena, I can go to the Foreign Affairs Department to apply to see her mission report."
Angel: "No need for the time being."
Angel himself had no intention of completing Irina's side quest. If Gleipnir wanted to complete it, it would not be too late to inquire about it when the time comes.
At present, this basic information can be explained to Gleipnir.
However, from Lizzy's description, Irina is a very talented "scammer", but she was exposed by a cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... If she was really talented, how could she be exposed so easily?
This always sounds a little strange.
Moreover, in Li Zi’s narration, Irina does not seem to have a very special experience: she cheated in the underground neighborhood when she was young, was discovered by "Bole", came to Tina Entertainment for training, and then became a spy and was sent to Prada Media...
If this is the resume of a "spy", there's really nothing special about it.
But if Irena is not special, why can she have NPC information and have her own side quests?
"Girl on the Tightrope", this is the name of Irina's side mission. Generally speaking, the mission name is actually a reflection or portrayal of this mission.
There must be some reasons worth exploring why Irena is a "girl on a tightrope".
Angel silently recorded this matter in his mind, and later told Gleipnir to investigate on her own...
After another five minutes, Lizi's assistant finally retrieved the information of the former Honorable Knight from the database at the Fashion Guild Headquarters.
After disconnecting from her assistant, Li Zi looked at the empty office and whispered: "Sir, are you still there?"
"exist."
Lizzy breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "I have obtained the information about Alfred Royster, the former noble knight of the Dark Round Table."
"According to the records, there were updates on his information here before, but since five years ago, his information has stopped updating..."
