Chapter 1047 Local Powers of the World Tree (Long Chapter, Please Submit Monthly Tickets)

Troko Republic·Fiklai

The morning sun shines through the window into the empty hall. Lin Chichi stretched and yawned, dragging her small suitcase and continued to move forward along the somewhat old station.

"It's eight o'clock."

The girl raised her head and looked at the morning light above her head, and yawned again.

Although the distance between Mote City and the capital of Troko Republic, Fiklai, is not far, the railways between Ika Republic and Troko Republic are not connected.

From the information Lin Chichi found, the isolation of the railway may be due to the many frictions and wars between the two neighboring countries in history, which has led to the two countries always guarding against each other.

But as a result of historical problems, tourists need to change trains at the border, which makes Lin Chichi unable to sleep all the way to the station.

"I should have taken a plane earlier."

Lin Chichi glanced at the empty hall, dragged his small suitcase, and walked out of the station.

In front of her, a family of three who vaguely looked like the Tia people were leaving the station.

Tourists?

The girl glanced at the three people in front of her, then slowly moved forward and followed the crowd to leave the train station.

There were already many taxis waiting at the station entrance, and the girl randomly chose a taxi.

The taxi driver got off the car to help her put the suitcase in the trunk, then took her into the car, looked back at her, and asked in Trok, "Are you here for tourism?"

"Business trip."

Lin Chichi answered briefly, then she picked up her phone, opened the map, and showed a location to the driver.

Before coming to Trok, she had simply learned some common Trok expressions.

I don't know if it's because of the improvement in physical fitness, her memory is much better than before. Many words that she couldn't remember after reciting many times before, now she can remember them after a few glances.

Of course, her current level is just barely able to do some simple communication.

"Okay, okay."

The driver raised his hand, made a clear gesture, and then started the car.

With a slight tremor, the taxi started and took her along the old and narrow road.

Fikeli is an ancient city, and such ancient cities often have many problems, such as narrow and congested roads, and old infrastructure that is difficult to maintain.

Of course, in addition to the problems of the ancient city itself, the public security here does not seem to be very good.

Lin Chichi glanced out the window and saw a yellow tent erected on the side of the road, as well as some homeless people squatting around the tent.

These homeless people were holding cigarettes, and they were more or less watching the surrounding vehicles.

There was a fierceness hidden in the depths of the turbid eyes.

Soon, the girl retracted her gaze, leaned against the back seat of the car, and closed her eyes slightly.

She was indeed a little sleepy.

The taxi driver raised his head, glanced at the Middle-earth-looking girl behind him through the rearview mirror, then lowered his head and turned the vehicle into a small road.

The old taxi traveled along the narrow alley, and the morning sun passed through the gaps between the old houses and swept across the girl's cheek.

After an unknown amount of time, the taxi stopped at the traffic light at the intersection.

The driver looked up and looked around, as if observing whether there were any military police directing traffic around.

Just as he was about to step on the accelerator and run through the red light, a cold and sharp blade pressed against his neck, "Where do you want to take me?"

A calm and cold voice came from his ears. Although the pronunciation of the Trok language was not very standard, the driver still clearly heard the meaning of the words.

"This, this road is closer."

The driver replied tremblingly, and then he seemed to be afraid that the girl could not understand his words, so he slowed down his tone, "Closer."

Then he gestured with his hand from long to short.

"You took me around a long way."

The girl looked at the odometer on the taxi, took out her mobile phone, showed the route record inside, and said awkwardly and calmly.

"I'll take you there, no extra charge."

The driver reached out to turn off the odometer, raised his hand tremblingly, and said slowly.

With a slight whistling sound and the sound of a blade being sheathed, the cold and hard object pressing on his neck disappeared.

The driver raised his head and glanced at the rearview mirror.

The cute Middle-earth girl in the mirror was still leaning on the back seat, her eyes closed, as if she had been sleeping soundly, and everything just now was just a dream.

The driver looked up and turned off the odometer, hesitated for a moment, and still did not turn it on again.

He started the car and turned left.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination - a magnificent building.

"Thank you."

The girl paid the price given by the driver, took out her suitcase, and walked towards the building.

And watching the girl's back leave, the driver leaned back in the seat and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he took out his mobile phone, clicked on a number marked as "supervisor", and sent a short message.

[Middle-earth people, from the train station to the Morning Dew Building, will use weapons. ]

Then he took back his mobile phone, put his hand on the steering wheel, and started the car.

As the car trembled, he raised his head and looked behind him in confusion.

For some reason, he felt as if someone was sitting behind him, watching him send messages.

He was frightened and hallucinated.

He shook his head, started the car, and left.

Behind him, on the side of the street, the middle-earth-looking young man who seemed to have been standing there raised his head, glanced at the shadow of the vehicle leaving, then turned his head and glanced at the magnificent building behind him.

Then he played with the butterfly coin in his hand and walked deeper into the road.

Chenlu Building·53rd Floor

Dong dong dong——

A slight knock sounded outside the heavy office door.

"Please come in."

The man sitting behind a desk piled with documents said quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the office door opened, and a girl with a middle-earth appearance walked in.

"Mr. Senwen?"

The girl raised her head, glanced at the man behind the desk, and asked in Ika.

"Is this Miss Lin Chichi? Sit down."

Hearing her voice, the man was slightly startled. He raised his head, looked at the girl, and said with a smile, "Miss Yan Yue has already sent me your intention. Are you doing research? Do you want to get it from me?" what do you know?"

"Is such that,"

Lin Chi closed the door, opened the suitcase, and took out the laptop from it. Then she sat on the chair in front of Senwen, "I am currently doing research on the 'K' belief in various parts of the West. Mr. Senwen, do you have any questions?" What news?"

"As much as I would love to say I have a wealth of information for you, unfortunately,"

Sen Wen shook his head and sighed, "I have only been here a few days, and I still don't understand everything."

"Is your job not going well?"

Lin Chichi asked softly.

Senwen raised his head and glanced at the Middle-earth girl in front of him.

Although he didn't know the specific identity of the person in front of him, as a 'propaganda worker', the other person could get Yan Yue to greet him and cooperate, which proved that the other person's status in the institute was not low, and he might even have a good relationship with the He department. .

"You know, what we do is a little difficult,"

He shook his head and smiled, "Maybe it won't go smoothly."

Then he patted the pile of documents on the desktop, and then pointed to the pile of documents in the corner of the office, "After I came here, I told their local person in charge that I wanted to check the records of extraordinary events over the years. Then they brought these things over, and this was only one tenth, which was screened by my people.”

"Is there so much? Do you have to do all handsprings?"

Lin Chichi glanced at the pile of documents and was stunned for a moment, "Didn't they digitize it? These documents should all be electronically archived, right? Didn't the World Tree headquarters require it before?"

"request,"

Sen Wen shrugged, "But they said the workload was too heavy and the equipment was old, so they could only do a little bit every day. I've seen the computer in their archives. Maybe it's over thirty years old?"

"That's really a bit old,"

Lin Chichi sighed helplessly, this was obviously deliberately making things difficult.

Then she glanced at the files in the office and thought, "Have all the extraordinary events been resolved among these files? Is there anything special about them?"

"As far as I can see so far, most of the things that can be recorded have been solved."

Sen Wen said slowly, "If you want to say something strange, there is one thing."

He casually pulled out a document and handed it to Lin Chichi, "Look at this document. Are there any questions?"

Lin Chichi took the document in confusion, opened it and read it quickly, "Is it a haunted house incident? An abnormal incident caused by an F-class extraordinary item?"

Then she was slightly stunned, "Dozens of people died and disappeared in this haunted house incident?"

Although she had just joined the institute not long ago, due to her work, she had read a lot of records and files of the institute. She said with some confusion, "Logically speaking, such an F-level extraordinary event should not have such a high number of casualties. Most of the records from the institute are zero casualties.”

"Is the institute so powerful?"

Sen Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "The situation on the side of World Tree is worse, but there are only a few wounded at most, at least in the area I was responsible for before."

Lin Chichi had read Senwen's resume.

Senwen used to be a member of the Yggdrasil of the Republic of Ika. Because he opposed Set, he was pushed out to remote areas. It was not until Heao came to power Ika that he was promoted and reused.

According to Yan Yue, Senwen agreed with He Bu's reforms and was very grateful to He Bu for being a capable person.

She looked at Senwen and asked thoughtfully, "So these situations are 'abnormal'?"

"I can't say it's abnormal at all,"

Sen Wen shook his head and glanced at the documents on the table, "There are many similar situations recorded in these documents. The number of deaths and missing persons is somewhat outrageous, and they are basically 'civilians'."

“But if you look closely at the causes of these tragedies, it is often the failure of the World Tree organization here to discover those extraordinary events in advance, which leads to extraordinary events that were not threatening in the first place and lead to catastrophes.

"And those extraordinary events where they discovered the problem immediately, they can handle it better, at least they won't have such high casualties.

"This only seems to mean that there is a problem with their ability. They cannot detect extraordinary events quickly and are not 'professional' enough."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "But this little bit of 'negligence' and 'unprofessionalism' is a devastating blow to those families who have lost their loved ones."

Lin Chichi raised his head and glanced at the dense documents around him, "How many people died suddenly and disappeared?"

"I don't know, I haven't counted it yet,"

Sen Wen sighed, "The time span is too long, and every document here will have more or less 'numbers'."

Lin Chi Chi was speechless for a moment, she sighed, "With so many people, is there no one to manage the World Tree Organization here?"

"The Republic of Trok is a big country with a population of 80 million. In the ten-year period, the number of missing and dead people is not much compared to the population of the entire country,"

Sen Wen paused, "and according to my investigation, sometimes the World Tree Organization here will wait until things ferment, many people die, and the surrounding residents panic before they start to clean up the extraordinary events.

"At that time, those residents only felt that they had met a savior. Many times, those extraordinary people would even use this to ask for more money and squeeze the people.

"As for how much slower their efficiency is and how many people died because of their actions, only they themselves know."

Lin Chi Chi opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Finally, she sighed softly, "These guys are really bastards."

"And this is why the He Department wants to reform,"

Sen Wen sighed softly, and then he smiled, "To be honest, I was actually a little confused at first about the fact that a Middle-earth person from the He Department came to manage the Western Land, but it turned out that he was the most suitable candidate."

Then he closed the file in his hand and put it in the pile of files, "We have almost sorted out this pile of files, and I have almost written the summary report. It is estimated that it will be sent to the He Department today or tomorrow.

"After finishing here, we will have time to further investigate the organizational structure of the World Tree here and what they have done over the years,"

He thought for a while, "But I can arrange someone to ask you about the specific situation of the 'K Faith' now, and I will send you the source of information and the information at that time. "

"That's a bother for you."

Lin Chichi was slightly stunned and said quickly.

"It's okay, we are going to investigate anyway, it's just a side thing. "

Sen Wen said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work,"

Lin Chi Chi nodded gently, and she returned the file in her hand to Sen Wen, "Then I will go to other places to look for clues."

"I will contact you as soon as I have news,"

Sen Wen took the file, then he paused and said slowly, "Be careful here, the World Tree Organization here will not protect ordinary people."

"Thank you, you should also be careful."

Lin Chi Chi nodded gently and put away the computer.

As a member of He Ao, Sen Wen obviously does not have a good relationship with the World Tree Organization here, but the Morning Dew Building where his office is now located is the headquarters of the World Tree here.

"Okay. "

Senwen smiled and nodded.

Then the girl packed her suitcase and left the office.

Senwen glanced at the slowly closing office door, then glanced at the pile of documents in front of him, and sighed softly.

······

When Lin Chichi crossed the aisle and walked to the elevator, a girl wearing a gray knitted sweater, a short silver ponytail, and white-framed glasses was also waiting for the elevator at the door.

The girl looked at Lin Chichi coming over, slightly stunned, took a half step back, and leaned into the corner of the elevator.

"Hello."

Lin Chichi glanced at her and greeted her friendly.

The girl in front of him seemed to be a member of the World Tree here.

"Hello... "

The girl nodded slightly, then she lowered her head and stopped talking to Lin Chichi.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chichi was slightly stunned. Knowing that the other party did not want to chat with him, he did not continue to ask.

The elevator arrived.

The girl did not enter the elevator with Lin Chichi, but hid in the corner, letting Lin Chichi go in first, and she seemed to be ready to wait for the next elevator.

Lin Chichi was a little confused by the girl's operation, but still walked into the elevator.

Soon, she reached the first floor and walked out of the Morning Dew Building.

Standing at the door of the building, the girl turned around and took a look at the magnificent building behind her.

This is the tallest building in the center of the entire Fikeli City, and it is also the most magnificent building.

"Sister, do you want an amulet? "

Just then, Lin Chichi heard some awkward Middle-earth language coming from behind.

The girl was slightly startled, turned around, and looked at a little girl holding a straw amulet in a plastic bag, who was standing behind her, holding the amulet high and handing it to her.

"Do you want to know more about K's amulet?"

The little girl looked at Lin Chichi and continued to speak in awkward Middle-earth, "It's very cheap, only 1 gold shield."

After hearing 'K', Lin Chichi was obviously stunned, then she took the amulet, looked at the little girl in front of her carefully, and asked in Tia, "Are you not from the West?"

Among languages ​​other than Middle-earth, the one she mastered best was Tia.

The little girl blinked, then nodded, and replied in Tia, "We are here to travel."

Then she scratched her head, "Just keep changing places, running a little anxiously."
