CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 529: ANOTHER ALLY?

Indeed...

The shabby man heard this and couldn’t help but lower his head, his eyes becoming increasingly complex.

Andre, when he was a child, was a very lively and cheerful kid, but after Feiliya died, he became more and more silent, and more reclusive, rarely stepping outside.

Fein’s temper also gradually became odd, and after the death of the Prince, he became even more irritable and prone to anger, distancing himself from this friend, even speaking harshly, and all these changes seemed to have started from Feiliya’s death due to her brain illness.

If Feiliya didn’t die from her brain illness, but was... then all the inexplicable parts seem like they can be explained clearly.

Andre’s motive for massacring the royal family was to avenge his murdered sister, and the person who made the decision at the time to allow Feiliya to be killed could only be the King, Fein...

"Mr. Bell."

Glancing at the shabby man with a pained expression, Leon comforted him:

"All of this now is still just our speculation, the situation may not be so extreme, and whether we can find out what happened back then depends on whether you can take us into Research Area 1."

"I’ll do it."

Hearing Leon’s words, the shabby man, coming to his senses, first clenched his fist, then actively asked:

"What were you planning to do originally? Directly control me and then follow all the way?"

"Yes."

"Then you wouldn’t even get past the first checkpoint."

After giving his judgment, the shabby man said seriously:

"Even if you have a way to make others not see you, most of Area 1’s core is underground, and the shaft leading underground can only enter one person at a time, and there is only one position, it’s impossible to squeeze in even if forced.

Even if you have a way to enter underground and break the integrally cast inner wall, there is still a series of different detection methods in the entire Area 1, as long as one is triggered, the alarm will immediately sound, and each area will immediately self-seal, split into more than twenty small areas and then move.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Leon raised his brows slightly, then politely inquired:

"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"In my opinion, you might as well give up entering Area 1 completely."

The shabby man said:

"You Cleaners have many special abilities, some of which even miraculously contradict the laws of science, but the detection methods in Research Area 1 are staggering, heat, smell, magnetic field, abnormal fluctuations, brain signals... just more than twenty kinds that I know of.

And because there was an incident of a previous Cleaner infiltration, there are now some techniques specifically targeting people like you, no matter what strange abilities you have, if you don’t hide in another layer of space and need to physically enter Area 1, there will always be moments where you can’t hide.

And the positions of these detection instruments are not completely fixed either, they are moved periodically with specially assigned personnel for supervision, and if any suspected damage or signal disconnection occurs, it will likewise call for an investigation."

Isn’t it... although I know how important Area 1 is, isn’t this too much defense, don’t you guys find it troublesome?

After blinking speechlessly, Leon couldn’t help but ask:

"Can I ask, what exactly did that Cleaner do when infiltrating Area 1 back then to make you defend so tightly?"

"That Cleaner..."

Hearing Leon’s question, the shabby man’s mouth twitched slightly, then he said with an odd expression:

"It was about thirty years ago, that person heard that Area 1 had research on body regeneration, so they directly broke in and kidnapped forty scholars of level three or above, demanding that we resurrect his dog, and if we couldn’t, he would burn all our research data..."

"..."

What a character...

Although knowing this wasn’t the time to ask about this matter, Leon couldn’t help but ask upon hearing such an absurd situation:

"And then? Did you guys resurrect his dog?"

"It’s because we didn’t succeed that we’re on such high alert now, afraid someone else might break in!"

The shabby man said with a face full of grievance:

"To send that person off, we tossed around for two weeks, even managing to create a similar dog, restoring even the missing tail tip.

But that person still wasn’t satisfied, made a huge fuss, although in the end, they didn’t actually destroy the data, they made quite a scene, causing the scholars who were tied up considerable trouble, and only then were they dragged off by your Clean-up Bureau people."

Oh dear...

Hearing about the outrageous actions of a past Cleaner, Leon clicked his tongue, finding it hard to hold steady for a while.

Never thought, the ruckus caused by a Cleaner thirty years ago would cause me to struggle so much thirty years later, it’s really a case of ’the predecessors chop the trees, and the successors suffer under the sun.’

And after that predecessor’s havoc, the current Research Area 1 learns from the past and directly maxes out the preventive measures, relying on just a Secret Tail, it may really not be enough to sneak in...

Frowning in thought for a while, Leon glanced at the shabby man, then said thoughtfully:

"Then Mr. Bell, if Research Area 1 is hard to enter, then according to your idea..."

"My idea is, if you need any information, I’ll check it out for you!"

The shabby man clenched his fists, with a determined face he proposed:

"No matter what exactly happened back then, Fein is my friend, if he really might have been killed, then I have to find out the truth!"

"You better think it through."

After glancing at the shabby man, Leon reminded:

"Mr. Bell, this matter is very dangerous, if you get discovered while investigating and we’re not around you, we won’t have a way to protect you."

"It’s fine, I’m not afraid of death!"

The shabby man clenched his teeth, as if out of extreme nervousness, beads of sweat appeared on his graying temples, but he still firmly said:

"If it weren’t for Fein pulling me up back then, I would have been just a poor student all my life, never having a chance to realize my ambitions, if I end up in trouble for helping you investigate, then that’ll be my way of repaying his favor!"

"Alright."

Seeing the shabby man insisting repeatedly, Leon had no choice but to sigh and agree to his proposal, then gestured to Alger to remove the strings in the shabby man’s body, then said with slight admiration:

"Mr. Bell, for the next three days, we’ll be hiding at the embassy in Administrative Area 3, if you find anything, you can find us there."

"Okay!"

As the shabby man nodded vigorously, the hovercar approaching its destination began to decelerate, he then expressionlessly got off the hovercar, and under the watchful eyes of Leon and the other, he entered the shaft leading to Research Area 1.

"Ding..."

Accompanied by the sound of the passage bell, the single-person passage in front of the shabby man opened, he steadfastly stepped inside, then rolled his eyes and collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Meanwhile, on the control desk in the central hall of Research Area 1, a small red light quietly lit up, flashing for several beats in a specific rhythm, and the operator at the control desk, who had been watching the indicator light closely, stood up with a start.

"Brain activity of Receptor Code 9 is abnormal, possibly in close contact with the target!"
