Chapter 2384: Setokai
"The language and writing of the Quest world are indeed difficult to remember and express. But I see that you seem to know them very well. How did you bypass the rules?" Nice asked.
No. 03 said lightly: "I said that there is a mark they set in my soul. This is both a barrier, a cage, and a vow. Through this mark, I can bypass the rules there and remember all the information."
"But I know, and only I know, I can't tell it."
To put it bluntly, No. 03 is like a secret keeper. She can know the secrets of the power of Stevin's soul safe zone, but she can't tell others.
After a pause, No. 03 continued: "Just like this base, its real name is not Snooker Base, but..."
No. 03 paused, stretched out his fingers to condense some water power, and gently gestured in the air a few times.
The light blue water light formed a strange symbol.
This symbol was very familiar to Angel and Nice, because it was the same as the stone slab that Nice studied, with a strange and twisted tadpole-shaped symbol in the middle.
"This is the real name of the base...Tagong Xietu Lab 4."
Fero subconsciously repeated No. 03's words: "Tagong Xietu Lab 4?"
No. 03 nodded, and then gently wiped it, and the water light symbol in the air disappeared. As the water light symbol disappeared, "Tagong Xietu Lab 4" that was still echoing in Ferro's mind was like being erased by an eraser.
The only thing he remembered was "Lab 4".
Looking at Ferro's frustrated look of racking his brains to think but still unable to remember, No. 03's mouth corners slightly raised: "Now you should understand that what I said is not a lie. I can't reveal their information at all, and you can't remember it if I reveal it to you."
Fero's expression was ugly, but he seemed to have realized something.
Nice frowned and said softly: "Since you can carve this symbol, you can carve their information on the stone slab. Even if we forget it in a blink of an eye, we can remember it again with the reminder of the stone slab."
No. 03 sneered: "I said before that I don't understand their language or their writing. This symbol is one of the few symbols I can show, because it is carved on the gate of the base and is a confidential symbol."
As for other texts about Stevin's forces, No. 03 didn't understand them at all, so Nice's proposal could not be implemented.
After No. 03 finished speaking, he looked at Sanders who had remained silent: "Mr. Phantom, you have also seen it. I can't tell you much about them. Due to the oath, what I just said is the limit."
Sanders nodded, without commenting on the "they" mentioned by No. 03, but pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is Lab 4, then logically, there are Lab 3, Lab 2..."
No. 03 nodded: "Yes, there are indeed labs with other numbers. However, those labs are not in the South Region, but in the other three wizarding worlds. I don't know their intelligence either. I only know that the labs in the South Region are the last sequence of all labs in the base, and also the sequence with the lowest comprehensive strength."
No. 03 was both clarifying the doubts and hinting that the forces behind her spanned various wizarding worlds and belonged to a super organization. If Sanders really wanted to take action against the base, he would definitely be hated by the organization. Even if he couldn't take action in the South Region, once Sanders went to the other three wizarding worlds, he would definitely be retaliated.
Angell heard the hint from No. 03, but he didn't care. Her hint was more like a plea than a threat, and it was powerless. Even if it really came to the point where he had to take action, the mentor's suggestion could be fully adopted, and the extreme sect could be made to take the blame.
Angell: "Are there only laboratories in the Four Directions Wizarding World? There are none in the Source World?"
No. 03 hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes."
Angell: "Then according to your preference for numbers, the laboratories in the Source World should also be named after serial numbers, right? Then what would its serial number be... No. 0?"
No. 03: "...Yes."
As Angell spoke, he kept an eye on No. 03's eyes. When No. 0 was mentioned, No. 03's pupils shrank noticeably.
The serial number 0 could cause such a big fluctuation in No. 03's emotions. It seems that this serial number is secret or high-level in the base laboratory.
So, Reynolds's previous mention of a No. 00 in the laboratory is very likely true.
Angell and Nice exchanged glances, and the latter nodded slightly. At the same time, while No. 03 was not paying attention, he moved his mouth and sent a voice.
Nice: "Be careful and alert, speed up."
Angell understood what Nice meant. According to the arrangement of the lower the number, the stronger the strength. If No. 00 really exists, it must be a high-end combat force that surpasses all of them.
Now the other party has not appeared yet, it is very likely that he left with No. 01 and No. 02, so we must speed up to bluff No. 03 and get more information. We must get everything done before the base personnel come back.
Angell did not reply to Nice, but turned to look at No. 03: "Since you can't say anything about 'them', then talk about yourselves."
No. 03: "Regarding the situation within the organization, there are still restrictions on the oath, and I can only say a limited amount."
Nice curled her lips: "I can't say this, I can't say that, then tell me your name? Which wizard world are you from? Why do you work for the forces of the Quest world?"
No. 03 looked at Sanders, and seeing that Sanders did not question Nice's question, she said: "My name is No. 03, you can call me that."
Nice: "What kind of name is this? Don't you have a formal name?"
"...The names I can say are all fake, No. 03 is my formal name. However, I can reveal a pseudonym that I have used for a long time, 'Water Ao' Cassie. This is the name I used when I was in the Northern Territory wizard world."
Through the feedback of the truth word, what No. 03 said was true. She did regard No. 03 as her formal name, and the others were pseudonyms.
However, judging from No. 03's emotional feedback, she prefers the name 'Water Ao' Cassie to a number as a name.
"Cassie, huh? I remember, you continue." Angel did not call No. 03, but chose a pseudonym.
No. 03: "The power behind us is not in the Four Directions Wizarding World, but in the Source World. The name to the outside world is called the Setai Society. We are not working for the forces in the Quest World. We are just cooperating, but the level of cooperation involves too many secrets, so we need an oath to constrain it."
No. 03 still did not lie, but when she said that the power behind her was the "Setai Society", she used the "external name", which actually also showed that the Setai Society was not the real name.
Angel: "Setai Society? I don't think I have heard of it."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Huanmo also knew about the forces in the Source World?" No. 03 smiled and complimented, but he was quickly going through the information in his heart. According to the intelligence collected by the base, Sanders did not seem to have been to the Source World.
Angel: "I know a few wizards from the Order Guild."
No. 03 was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"
After asking, No. 03 suddenly realized the gap between their status. This kind of rhetorical question was not only abrupt but also impolite.
If Sanders took advantage of this, it would be possible to kill her.
Thinking of this, No. 03 quickly added: "We are in a cooperative relationship with the Order Guild, and there is no hatred. Moreover, there are also people from the Seti Society who have joined the Order Guild, so I think if the person Lord Huanmo knows happens to be from our Seti Society, perhaps the misunderstanding can be better resolved."
After No. 03 finished speaking, he raised his head and secretly glanced at Sanders opposite.
But Sanders' expression was obviously more serious than before. Although her eyes were still calm, this calmness made her more afraid than before.
After the air was condensed for a few seconds, Sanders snorted coldly: "This is just this time. If there is a next time, you don't have to speak."
No. 03 lowered his head: "I understand."
After a period of silence, Sanders spoke again, but with sarcasm: "You said that the Seti Society and the Order Guild are in a cooperative relationship. From this point of view, your Seti Society is quite powerful and is qualified to be on par with the Order Guild."
Angel knew very well that the Order Guild was a super-star federation and had a very high status in the source world. Even if the Setei Society is a secret organization, it is absolutely impossible to be compared with the Order Guild. However, judging from the feedback from the Word of Truth, No. 03 did not lie, but he definitely exaggerated.
No. 03 looked a little embarrassed, "It's just peripheral-level cooperation. We have information channels in the four wizarding worlds, and we can pass on some intelligence from the nearby world to the Order Guild."
Angel did not comment on this and spoke again: "Have you heard of Kuroli?"
No. 03 was stunned for a long time before saying: "Is the Phantom Lord talking about Kuroli Drakor?"
Angel nodded.
"He... is one of the directors of the Order Guild. I, I have naturally heard of him, but I have never met him." No. 03 wanted to ask if the wizard of the Order Guild that Sanders knew was Kuroli. However, after the previous incident, she didn't dare to ask casually again.
However, from the context, No. 03 felt that the wizard of the Order Guild that Sanders knew was probably Director Dracor...
Sanders actually knew a director of the Order Guild! The people of the Setai Society in the Order Guild were all peripheral members, and Sanders was actually directly related to the director.
This is big news!
However, No. 03 still has some doubts... With Sanders' status, why would Director Dracor value him?
Or is it that Sanders is not familiar with Director Dracor?
No. 03 couldn't judge and wanted to ask, but didn't dare.
"Is the Setai Society just an intelligence channel?" Angel didn't dare to talk more and changed the subject. After all, he didn't really know Kuroli, and he was just waving a banner. It was enough to deter him.
"Selling intelligence and consulting is just something that the Setei Society does. We are more like a research organization, but there are many research contents, and I cannot reveal the core. This is a secret that is clearly stated in the oath that cannot be leaked."
Nice: "Then is the laboratory you opened in the South Region considered core research?"
No. 03: "All numbered laboratories have a part of core research."
Nice: "That is to say, there is also a part that is not core research. So why don't you tell me what projects you are doing in the South Region that are not core research?"
No. 03 hesitated for a while before saying, "Core research and non-core research are intertwined. I can only tell you that this involves organ transplantation and soul harmony."
The name of this research topic immediately reminded Ferro of the hand of the Night Butterfly Witch soaked in nutrient solution.
The already somewhat suppressed emotions surged again, and he couldn't help but say, "Just from the name, I know it's not a good topic. It's full of evil and blood. I don't know how many people you killed and how many organs you took."
As soon as Ferro finished speaking, Nice wanted to hold her forehead... Although the research topic mentioned by No. 03 did not involve evil and blood, they knew that there must be evil behind it. But this shouldn't be said now.
Ferro's words simply revealed too much information.
This guy is so stupid. For a witch, he was so crazy, and he had the courage to mock me before. Nice couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
No. 03 naturally heard Ferro's implication. She was not stupid either, and immediately understood why Ferro suddenly came to the door.
It is estimated that some altar was discovered.
Moreover, from Ferro's intense emotions, it is estimated that some of the organs on the altar are from people he knows and is familiar with.
This is a bit difficult... because all the people whose organs were removed are undoubtedly dead.
It is estimated that it is not so easy to solve the problem involving the dead.
However, No. 03 is not too anxious, because at least now we know why the people from the Savage Cave are here. Knowing the reason, there is always a way to get out of it.
No. 03 thought for a while and said: "Evil and blood are not the themes of research. Moreover, compared with many research topics announced by the current southern wizard world, we are not too extreme."
"However, I also admit that some of the research topics do involve some sensitive content. If this affects Ferro Wizard or the Savage Cave, we are willing to compensate for it."
