Chapter 54: Rescue and Assist
In any case, overturning the table is the final choice. Anti doesn't want to make the relationship with a city in the dream world so awkward right from the start.
Moreover, behind the Sun City is the Zhuyang Empire. Although Anti estimated that the people here would not be so martial as to turn the entire country against him just because of a trivial matter, it would be better to try to make money in peace if possible to avoid a disastrous ending.
Otherwise he would fire a stranger.
Instructor Xu took Lin Jinghong and Nie Hong away first. This incident during the internship must have been a headache for the school.
The room was silent for a while, and Anti suddenly looked at the guard at the door and said, "Don't be nervous, relax."
guard:……
Anti was planning to continue playing house with weapons, and just as he was rummaging through his bag, he suddenly found something that seemed like it might come in handy.
Sanctuary postcard.
"Um……"
His half-Blue Star identity was not convincing to Sun City, so what about his half-Sanctuary identity?
……
Nino entered the inner city at night to attend a meeting regarding the sudden attack.
However, he did not have any expectations about what specific results would come out of this meeting.
The inner city center and the outer city of Sun City have been separated in the relatively peaceful times. To put it bluntly, people in the inner city may not care about such a small matter in the outer city.
When he arrived at the venue, everyone was already seated and waiting.
"You're finally here. Please report what happened right away." Someone present said impatiently.
Nino looked around, sighed in his heart, and then told everyone without reservation about the investigation he had conducted after the incident and the current progress, as well as Anti's affairs.
"So the people who committed the crime are from the Jiaodi area?" someone asked as soon as he finished speaking.
Nino frowned slightly. "According to the investigation, the clues we have so far do point to the people from the Land of Destiny. The flesh-changing believers are not without their own..."
"I said at the beginning that we shouldn't let these dependents move around freely in the city. Something bad will happen sooner or later." The man interrupted directly, and even what he wanted to say seemed to have little to do with the matter.
"That's easy to say. If you don't choose to accept them, can you still restrict their actions after opening that teleportation point? At least give them a name with our identity, which will make everyone more talkative and include the people of the dependent land under a certain scope of management."
"But now we just need to take care of the accident, right?"
"…The policy is definitely correct. The status of Sun City has improved significantly after the people from the Familiar Land joined us. We are no longer the capital we once were, and we have no reason to be proud of ourselves."
"So how do we handle this?"
"..."
"Except for the initial influx of people from the Dependent Land, there hasn't been such a vicious incident in Sun City for a long time. We must give an explanation." Another participant spoke at this time.
"Didn't they capture a dependent? He is the criminal."
Nino's brows had been furrowed since then, and he spoke again after hearing this: "This matter has not been confirmed yet..."
"The third Zhuyang plan is imminent. This kind of thing does not cause any real harm but only has a bad impact. Our main task is to calm people's hearts and reduce the impact to a minimum or even zero as quickly as possible. This is the most important thing." An old man looked at Nino and spoke word by word.
Since the plan to replicate Zhuyang began, a lot of Sun City's funds have flowed into this plan, and many expenses have been reduced again and again, including the armed expenses of the border guards where Nino is.
As the situation declines, naturally, he also has the right to speak.
"Then let's leave it at that..."
Suddenly, a guard walked into the meeting room and said, "Reporting to everyone, the envoy of the Holy Temple is outside and hopes to participate in the meeting."
"What does this have to do with them? Why should they get involved?" someone asked unhappily.
"But the Sanctuary has funded a lot of the Zhuyang Replica Project..."
"..."
"Please go first..."
……
Anti saw Nino walking into the house with a gentle-looking man wearing a white hooded cloak. "Good evening," Anti said.
After seeing the tower-shaped mark on the man's clothes, Anti realized that this was the reinforcement that Offi had called for him.
He had called Aoi with a postcard before, and after chatting with Aoi about recent family matters, he almost forgot about his own affairs.
When Aoife learned about Anti's predicament, he immediately expressed his willingness to provide help to the best of his ability.
But since it wasn't explained clearly, Anti could only continue to wait.
And obviously, he seemed to underestimate the weight of Aoife's promise.
Look, his weapon actually appeared not long after he started playing house.
"Good evening, are you Mr. Anti?"
"it's me."
"I'm Salomo, the ambassador of the Andemiye Sanctuary to the Sun City of the Zhuyang Empire. Miss Aoi has told me everything." The man said with a smile and shook hands with Anti.
Anti didn't reply immediately but looked at Nino next to him.
Seeing this, Nino also spoke up: "Sir, you have been guaranteed by the Sanctuary. Although some events are still unclear, we will withdraw our presumption of suspicion against you."
"So simple?" Anti didn't carefully check the influence of the Holy Place within the Zhuyang Empire, but it seems to be quite powerful now?
"Convince people with reason. As long as you speak nicely, everyone will always understand each other." Salomo still kept smiling.
Anti looked at Salomo for a moment.
Your sanctuary isn't all about cutting white into black and then cutting white, right?
Nino's expression on the side was also very subtle.
Salomo continued, "However, this incident did have a significant impact on Sun City. So I would like to ask you for help investigating this attack. Of course, this is also what Sun City wants."
It turned out to be the case.
In a sense, assisting in the investigation is also another way of tying Antii down. Although Antii is given freedom in Sun City, it is difficult for him to act completely independently in various activities if he participates in the investigation, and it is not easy to just walk away before the truth is revealed.
It’s a gentler approach.
Of course, Anti could also refuse, but he was sure that if he refused, the next step would be to ask him to leave Sun City.
"I agree." Anti agreed.
None of the doubts he had about coming to Sun City had been resolved. The group of slimes had provoked him twice - although he was the one who rushed forward the second time - and he was somewhat concerned about the whereabouts of the "nymphs".
It is obvious that the "nymph" is also a wandering god who is in an incomplete state for some reason.
Anti doesn't have the ability to provoke the complete Youshen now, but he can try to test the incomplete one.
He will do his best to complete the "main task" given by the financial sponsor.
Hearing Anti's response, Salomo turned around and looked at Nino. Salomo didn't say anything, but Nino was obviously relieved.
"Thank you for your cooperation," he said.
"It's okay, but I have something very important to do now." Anti said seriously.
"What?" Nino also became serious.
"I'm very hungry and I want to eat something, a lot of food." Anti said, covering his chest.
He wanted to ask why Anti was holding his chest because he was hungry, but Nino held back and only twitched the corner of his mouth.
Salomo laughed twice: "Okay, okay, then I will arrange it for you directly."
"Well, I hope to be alone in peace and quiet when I eat." Anti struck while the iron was hot and added conditions.
"No problem." Salomo agreed immediately.
But Nino was a little uneasy.
I always feel like asking this person to assist in the investigation is like hiring a big shot, right?
