Chapter 331 Big Shot
The disappearance of cousin Huck is indeed related to the disappearance of Grand Duke Stuart's parents.
According to all the information Levi obtained from Hong's memory, when the academy was just destroyed and the rules for becoming a scientist were completely unlocked, the bottom students of Xinlan School had just experienced a bloodbath.
The cause was just because a second-generation upper class used cheating to pass the assessment of obtaining the key, but after he actually got the key and injected it into his body, he failed to become a scientist because of his lack of understanding of the natural rules of this world.
This put great pressure on the second generation who was highly expected by the family. He didn't want the outside world to let his family know about his incompetence, so he framed a group of farmers and workers' children who stole the keys issued to him by the school.
But what he never expected was that because the West District could not produce keys independently, the keys owned by these cities were all inventory from hundreds of years ago. One less key was used, resulting in the control of keys in each city in the West District even exceeding the academy.
After receiving his report, all the low-level students in Xinlan School were strictly controlled, and the police officers used severe torture on more than ten students who they thought were the most suspicious, resulting in half of them being tortured to death, and the remaining half were forced to admit that they participated in the key theft in order to survive.
Later, this incident affected many people, and more innocent people were implicated.
It was at this point in time that the rules and restrictions on becoming a scientist were lifted.
Some of the low-level students who were originally detained in the police station awakened the power to master the rules and escaped from the prison in the police station.
Then they accidentally escaped to the manor where Grand Duke Stuart's parents lived in the suburbs all year round, and held the old couple hostage, trying to escape from Xinlan.
However, these people's efforts were not successful in the end. The Grand Duke Stuart personally took action and caught almost all the students who fled in less than two days, killing them and throwing their bodies in a mass grave in the suburbs.
But there was only one person who disappeared with the Grand Duke's parents, and that person was Huck's cousin.
This student who had just awakened to become a first-level scientist, along with two disabled elderly people, seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. With Xinlan strictly checking the people entering and leaving and controlling the station, no one could be found in the entire city.
When Hong came to Xinlan, he also brought an extremely critical piece of information.
Once, someone from the Stuart family contacted Green Day privately, claiming that the current Grand Duke Stuart had a big problem with his identity!
Even whether he was a member of the Stuart family, how he got to the position of the Grand Duke and became the Chosen One, was still unknown!
The "parents" who had never returned to the Newland city area after the current Grand Duke took the throne and always lived in the suburbs under strict supervision, knew the truth of the matter. They were not kidnapped by Huck's cousin's students, but voluntarily helped these students and escaped together.
After Hong came to Xinlan, in addition to the first meeting with the Grand Duke, she has always wanted to find Huck's cousin and the Grand Duke's nominal parents.
This is an extremely critical handle. Even though the current Grand Duke has secured the title of Duke and has the power of the Chosen, in the final analysis, the Stuart family, whose original name is Wei, is different from other families in the Western Region.
As one of the two royal families that divide the world, a considerable number of people and forces are closely united around the Stuart family because it is the only family in the world with royal status.
Just like the Western Region Education Foundation, the people in this organization are not all from the Stuart family. The purpose of these people gathering together is that every Grand Duke Stuart has the noble blood of the royal family flowing in his body.
But now, if it is revealed that the current Grand Duke Stuart is actually just an outsider and not a true royal descendant, then these people will definitely not stay in Xinlan as they do now, and the reputation of the Stuart family will inevitably plummet. In the future, there is no need to mention returning to the central government to drive away the An family and become a royal family again.
If the blood of the descendants is not pure, what qualifications do they have to be emperors?
As for Green Day's recruitment, the Grand Duke's reply was ambiguous. Obviously, he felt that the situation was not clear yet. No matter which side he joined, it would be a very risky choice. It is better to wait, either until the situation is clear or until the last critical moment, and then make a choice.
Green Day would certainly not be satisfied with such an answer. Hong naturally took out the pair of lost "parents" half as a threat and half as an inducement. As long as the Grand Duke is willing to completely turn to Green Day, no matter whether he really has royal blood flowing in his body, there will only be a positive answer in the future. No one will have this question again, and he will not have any concerns.
The Grand Duke did not agree immediately, and Hong actually did not find Huck's cousin and "parents" at all.
The two sides were in a stalemate for the time being, and Hong had been keeping an eye on Huck's family for two weeks, hoping to find a breakthrough from this family and completely get a hold of the Grand Duke's handle in his hand, so as to take the initiative.
Looking at the half-dead bird lying on the ground, Levi slowly stood up. He smacked his lips and felt that there was no safe place in this world.
Originally, he thought that the West was far away from the emperor, and there were no major conflicts. Compared with the East District and the Central District, it should be more peaceful.
But in fact, this side is the most chaotic, and now they are ready to beat the dog brains out and force all the Chosen to take sides!
However, from Levi's point of view, chaos is a good thing.
If all the Chosen in the West are in harmony and play the drama of unity and family, it will be a real trouble for Levi.
After learning all the information about Green Day and the city of Xinlan from Hong, this parrot is completely useless to Levi.
Levi has no idea of controlling her and letting her do something in Green Day.
From Hong, Levi learned that the power of the Chosen inherited by someone in Green Day is the mind control in biology. At the level of the Chosen, that person's control of the mind can even change people's cognition on a large scale in a subtle way!
It is very easy to see through Levi's current mind control, and Hong is not an ordinary third-level. She is similar to Le Yue in the past. Levi can control her mind, but it takes a lot of energy to do so. Keeping her is not worth the loss.
So, holding the handle of the illusory knife with one hand, Levi pointed the tip of the knife at the empty eyes on the ground with an expressionless face, as if it had become an evil bird with no soul and only a body left, and then stabbed it without hesitation!
The blade pierced Hong's heart, and in a gushing blood, one of the leaders of Green Day died.
After dealing with the bird, Levi dealt with some follow-up matters.
He changed the memory of Rachel's family, making them think that the parrot was starved to death tonight, and at the same time he fully took over the power that Green Day cultivated and supported in Xinlan.
The key is the tax officer. Levi changed the image of "Red Master" in his memory to himself. Through him, Levi can indirectly control others.
The abnormal vibrations that occurred in this area tonight can be explained more easily. The tax officer can issue a document about regional earthquakes. As the chief officer of the agricultural area, this matter is a piece of cake for him.
Just as Levi had a great harvest tonight and got on the tax officer's special car to take him back to the Hack family, he was still planning how to use the information he got from Hong to get close to the Grand Duke Stuart.
The tax officer sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly received a call.
After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and said to Levi respectfully.
"Master Hong, the people in the Grand Duke's Mansion sent a message that the Duke has agreed to join them, but he requires us to produce proof to prove what you promised him."
The tax officer was not qualified to know the conditions that Hong and Grand Duke Stuart discussed privately.
But after hearing what he said, Levi knew what the Grand Duke wanted.
Hong claimed that she could help the Grand Duke settle this matter, which meant that she was sure to catch cousin Hake and the Grand Duke's "parents". This kind of thing is not enough to say, of course, something practical needs to be produced.
Levi thought about it for a moment, and he already had a vague plan in his mind, and he spoke.
"You reply to him and ask him to wait for up to five days. Within five days, I will let him see the person he wants to see."
The tax officer gave a reply as Levi asked. Not long after, Levi was also sent back to Hake's house. When he knocked on the door, the door was gently opened from the inside.
Hake stuck out half of his face, and when he saw that the person who came back was Levi, he completely opened the door and said with surprise in his tone.
"You're back! Didn't they embarrass you? We all thought you must be in danger. Even if it's a branch station, the police station is not a place where ordinary people can get out safely after entering!"
Levi shrugged.
"I didn't commit any crime. They just checked some identity issues on me. Of course, they won't make it difficult for me."
From the memories of the tax officer and Hong, Levi learned that Xinlan and Luri had different focuses on how to find cousin Huck.
The Grand Duchess of Stuart had to send people to guard and closely watch Huck's biological parents, while Huck's cousins were handed over to the police station to follow.
As for Hong, because she had mastered the biological selection, she, like Levi, saw that Huck's thinking was specially protected at the first sight of Huck, which was obviously unusual and an extremely critical clue.
From the moment they were involved in this matter, Huck's family was actually pushed into the abyss.
Whether the person was found in the end or not, their fate was foreseeable.
Originally, when Levi came into contact with Huck, he wanted to stay at his house and wait until Huck's cousin came to him again as a cut to understand the matter in depth.
But now, after catching such a big fish, there was no need for him to wait any longer.
Following Huck into his home, the family obviously did not sleep because he was taken away suddenly.
When Huck's mother, the thin peasant woman, saw Levi coming back, she hurriedly turned on the stove, thinking that Levi must not have eaten anything at the police station, and wanted to heat up some food for him.
Julia, the little girl who had listened to Levi's stories for a week and learned to write a lot, looked at him nervously.
"They didn't hurt you, right? Wu Wei? I heard that of those who were taken away by the police, very few of them came out intact!"
Levi just rubbed her hair and said with a smile.
"Then you have misunderstood them. I am not a criminal. How could they hurt me?"
Huck's father sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette and looking at Levi without saying a word.
As someone who has lived in a farming area for most of his life, how could he not know the methods and temper of those in the police station?
Even if there was really nothing wrong with Levi, the moment he was brought into that place, he wouldn't be able to live well without a layer of skin being peeled off.
And there is only one possibility for him to come back like he is now, talking and laughing. This young man who calls himself Wu Wei is in the same group as those at the police station!
Perhaps it can also be described as a more noble status, but for the Huck family, this is a nature.
Of course Levi also saw what Huck's father was thinking.
He pushed Julia on the back and shooed the little girl towards her own room.
"Go and review the words I taught you during the day. I will check the dictation tomorrow. If you make a mistake, I won't tell you the adventure story."
After sending the youngest away, Huck's mother was still busy in the kitchen, and there were only three men left in the house, Huck, Huck's father and Levi.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, Levi sat on the chair and did not speak immediately.
Huck opened his mouth, wanting to say something to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, but he didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Levi who took the initiative to speak.
"You should also understand that because of your cousin, you are being targeted by many big shots."
When he said this, Levi was not facing Huck, but looking at Huck's father.
Although this old farmer is not as educated and knowledgeable as his son, and does not understand the real hidden story, he is the veritable head of the family.
Huck's father just looked at Levi with a tired expression.
"Of course these big shots include you, right?"
Levi said calmly.
"I'm different from them. In their eyes, your ending is just death, but I can help you survive."
The old farmer just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The promises made by big people are actually the same."
"Perhaps I am not the same person as the big shots you mentioned?"
Levi said softly.
"I remember that your family is the most sincere Twilight believer. I wonder if you have ever heard of a pastor named Sun Wei."
