"It was five years ago again..." Lizi muttered: "That period five years ago was really troubled."
After sighing with emotion, Lizi continued: "The Fashion Guild has quite a lot of information about Alfred. What do you want to know, sir? I will help you search it."
As Li Zi spoke, she raised her wrist and clicked on the watch on her wrist.
Then a holographic projection appeared in front of her.
She quickly clicked on a "loading" image, and a large amount of text information appeared.
This is the information about the former noble knight that her assistant found from the Fashion Guild and sent it to Lizzy through the communicator.
"No need to search. If I ask you to turn the page, you can turn the page. I can see it."
Lizi looked at the holographic projection in front of her, then looked around the empty office, pursed her lips and nodded lightly, "Okay."
Then Lizzy began to turn the pages slowly according to Angel's rhythm.
All the information was printed in Angel's eyes.
This information not only includes information about the former noble knight Alfred, but also his life trajectory, friendship status, and even among his friends, which friends are marked as "available", "available to bewitched", and "easy to seduce".
"Rebellion"... If they had a plan against Alfred at that time, relying on this information, Alfred would probably have a hard time escaping.
In addition to written information, there is also picture information, and Angel also saw Alfred's appearance.
A middle-aged elegant uncle who looks extremely decent.
It is really hard to imagine that under such a decent appearance, there is a heart that chases girl idols.
About two minutes later, Lizi had finished looking through the information, "That's probably the situation... Is there anything else you want to check, sir?"
Angel had actually recorded all the information, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said to Lizzy: "You turn the first two pages... yes, it's the third page from the bottom."
"Look at the third paragraph of this page. It mentions a child. Do you have any information about this child?"
Lizzy followed Angel's description and locked into the corresponding paragraph.
She took a quick look.
This page records what happened five years ago, and what happened before Alfred's intelligence was about to be cut off. In Angel's words, it was some of the events before his disappearance.
The "child" mentioned in the information was the child who caused the destruction of the Asiatic Circus, and was also the child who had been troubled by Sisley for many years.
Likewise, he is also the "culprit" behind Alfred's disappearance.
"This kid..." After Li Zi finished reading, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes: "I didn't expect Alfred to be related to 'it'."
"It?" Doubt flashed in Angel's eyes.
In the spoken communication in the modern city, the third-person expressions for different situations are also different. "He" and "she" represent men and women respectively, and "it" refers to all non-human beings, including animals, monsters, monsters...
...and words such as "He" refer to gods.
Lizzy uses "it" to refer to the child. In other words, in her perception, the child is "non-human"?
Lizzy: "It looks like a human child, and it is a human child upon inspection, but in our guild's internal definition, it is a non-human. After all, it comes from a dark corner, and in our guild's dark corner records, it is
No one can come out from the dark corner, all those who come out are fashionable monsters..."
"So, it may just look like a child on the outside, but it may be something else on the inside."
Angel did not comment on Lizzy's words. He had already learned from Abigail that it is indeed difficult for human beings to return to the real world from dark corners, but it cannot be said absolutely. There are also some who are extremely lucky.
Human beings, or human beings who thrive in dark corners, can find the "door" to return to the real world.
And that "child" may fall into this category.
"From what you're saying, do you know something about it?" Angel asked curiously, because in Alfred's information, he only mentioned the existence of the child casually and did not elaborate on the content. But Lizzy
At a glance, you can tell that the child comes from a dark corner. From this, you can know that Lizzy should know the child's information.
As expected, Li Zi nodded: "Of course I know that all the magicians who were freed by the superiors were dispatched just to catch this child."
"However, I was not caught in the end..."
Lizzy paused and began to talk about the information she knew about the child.
"This child is called the 'Horn Shrinker' within the guild, because the place where he first appeared was huddled in a corner. At the same time, according to the records of the Dark Round Table, when the Corner Shrinker disappeared, he was also huddled in a corner.
disappeared..."
"The Horn Shrinker was first discovered by people from the Dark Round Table, and then we arranged for spies within the Dark Round Table to pass its information to the guild. Then, we began to hunt down the Horn Shrinker... Unfortunately, the hunt failed.
, was taken away by the current noble knight."
"But according to the information from the unexposed spy, the person who shrank his horns shrank into a corner and disappeared in front of everyone. He has never been seen again..."
"Although the Horn Shrinker has disappeared, many people have seen it, and based on this information, we have classified it as an "inconclusive person."
When Li Zi said this, she stopped: "At present, this is the information it has."
In Angel's opinion, this information should be relatively detailed, especially when compared with the information he obtained from Bonnet, it was basically consistent.
"Did you destroy a circus when you were hunting down the child...that is, the shrinker?"
Lizzy: "Sir, are you talking about Asia Circus?"
Angel nodded: "Yes."
Li Zi was silent for a moment: "We were in the age of espionage at that time, and the hawks in the guild were the dominant force. They believed that the information about the corner shrinkers must not be leaked, and everyone who had contact with the corner shrinkers should be dealt with seriously."
"If there is someone who protects him, he may even be punished immediately. The Asia Circus is said to have protected that child..."
"However, there are actually many moderates within the guild. Under their obstruction, some members of the Asiatic Circus survived, including their leader Sisley."
According to Lizzie's story, the hawks actually had the idea of killing Sisley, but due to the obstruction of the moderates, Sisley survived in the end.
But Sisley himself did not know this.
However, it doesn't really matter whether you know it or not. Even if he knew it, Sisley would not be grateful to the Style Guild.
Angel: "You just said that the child was internally designated as an "inconclusive person" by you. What do you mean?"
Lizzy: "That's the literal meaning. We can't know exactly its identity, so it's designated as "inconclusive"."
According to Li Zi, the Fashion Guild actually has a certain understanding of dark corners.
They roughly divided the life forms in the dark corners into four categories: humans, monsters, entities, and inconclusive people.
This is just a rough division. Each type has more detailed divisions. For example, humans are also divided into: wanderers, cleaners, investigators... etc., but these are not important for the time being.
In short, these four categories are rough divisions of vignetting life forms.
Among them, humans and monsters do not need to be explained, they are just literal meanings, and monsters refer to fashion monsters.
The entities refer to some special individuals of Dark Angle. Some of them are native individuals of Dark Angle, and some are transformed from other creatures.
They are distributed in dark corners, and most of them are malicious towards humans. Their strength varies, but even the weakest entities have some special abilities, and it is difficult for humans to defeat them.
The inconclusive ones are slightly more special. The first three categories are actually divided in this way even in the dark corners. The inconclusive ones are a division of the Fashion Guild itself, which refers to the general term for individuals who have no definite identity.
, they may be human beings, they may be entities, they may also be pseudo-persons taken over by monsters...
Those with shrunken corners are existences whose identity cannot be defined.
Lizzy: "If the person who had shrunk his horns was caught by the Fashion Guild, and we were asked to conduct a period of research to determine his identity, then the 'inconclusive' status of the person who had shrunk his horns would be eliminated and redefined."
But it is a pity that they did not catch the shrinker.
The corner shrinkers were eventually captured by people from the Dark Round Table, and they did not believe the data from the Dark Round Table, so they defined the corner shrinkers as "inconclusive people."
After listening to Lizzy's story, Angel probably understood.
If we use dungeon terminology, monsters are equal to monsters in the game, entities are equal to NPCs in the game, and humans are equal to players.
As for the "inconclusive person", he is a character whose identity is unknown, and any one is possible.
Of course, this understanding may be slightly biased, but Angel personally feels that it is pretty much the same...
…
Inside Qingshuiqu Villa.
After cutting off contact with Lizzy, Angel sat back on the sofa, waved his hand gently, and a book with about thirty pages appeared in front of him.
This book not only contains a lot of text, but also various illustrations.
The content of the illustrations shows Alfred's appearance in various periods.
There is no doubt that this book is the "Alfred Information Collection" generated by Angel using the information that Li Zi searched for before.
It contains all the views of the Fashion Guild on the former noble knight.
At the same time, it also objectively records the first half of Alfred's life from a third-party perspective.
If you put aside your stance and prejudice, this can actually be called a "personal autobiography".
Angel opened the pages of the book and read them page by page.
When he recorded the information before, he had actually read it once, but at that time he only scanned it completely, without taking into account many details.
Now that I have nothing to do, I naturally want to check it carefully.
Even though he was checking it carefully, Angel's flipping speed was still very fast. It took almost ten to twenty seconds to complete a page. In less than ten minutes, he finished reading this information collection.
Regarding the records in this intelligence collection, you can basically ignore the first half, because they are all about Alfred's deeds in the first half of his life. That is, what happened before he left the Seven Knights, and this probably has nothing to do with his disappearance.
.
Angel is mainly concerned about the second half. Especially the part five years ago. What did Alfred do before he disappeared? Also, what friends did he meet before he disappeared?
Because according to the description in the side mission "The Lost Knight", Alfred must have gone to the dark corner.
Before he went to the dark corner, he once sent a letter to his friend. Let’s not mention the various greetings in the letter. At the end of the letter, Alfred clearly mentioned: I will be traveling far away in the near future, and my return date has not yet been determined.
, don’t think about it.
From this, it can be determined that Alfred left in a planned manner and did not disappear "suddenly".
Since he did not disappear "suddenly", in the eyes of the Dark Round Table people, Alfred did not go to the Dark Corner. After all, the entrance to the Dark Corner appears without warning and will not leave you a letter.
time.
However, Angel has determined through the information from Wonderland that Alfred went to the dark corner, so the letter he left to his friend is a bit interesting.
Because this means that Alfred knew that he would definitely go to a dark corner before leaving.
How did he determine that? Why did he know where the entrance to the dark corner opened?
Has he already studied the rules for opening dark corner entrances?
If Alfred had really figured out the rules for opening the dark corner entrance, then given his character, he would have left a record.
Angel came to Qingshui Canal this time just to find similar records or related clues.
However, there is currently no clue to this clue, but Angel personally speculates that the clues in Qingshuiqu may eventually lead to other people.
If Alfred really researched it, he might give this secret information to someone for safekeeping.
Therefore, when Angel read "Alfred's Intelligence Collection", he also paid close attention to Alfred's friends, especially the friends he had met before his disappearance.
"Galindo, Joyce, Pesic..." Angel remembered the names of these people and the corresponding intelligence information, and planned to use God's perspective to investigate some of their homes later.
After finishing remembering the friends Alfred had met before his disappearance, Angel turned the pages of the information collection to the penultimate page.
There is a passage here that makes Angel very concerned.
"Alfred comes to the surface frequently, but his whereabouts are unknown."
At first glance, this sentence doesn't seem like a big deal. But what you need to know is that Alfred's various behaviors in the underground neighborhood were all recorded clearly. I wish I could even record how many times he went to the toilet every day.
Come down, very detailed.
However, when Alfred came to the surface, his "whereabouts were unknown". Isn't this strange?
Logically speaking, the underground neighborhood is the territory of the Dark Round Table, and it is reasonable that Alfred lacked information when he was in the underground neighborhood.
The Fashion Guild is the only one on the surface, so when Alfred comes to the surface, he should be able to control all information.
But now, there is an obvious reversal.
There is obviously a problem here.
Perhaps, someone has tampered with this information?
