Chapter 3963 Core Intelligence

Chapter 3963 Core Intelligence

Vera originally thought that Angel would mention some signs of "his own people", such as a special logo, some characteristics that cannot be concealed, etc.

But unexpectedly, Angel revealed the information that "the challenge mission failed halfway, and their people must be involved."

This information really shocked Vera.

Because this has broken the way fashionable magicians have obtained monster puzzles for thousands of years.

Even though Vera's card pool was already full and she had no immediate need for monster puzzles, she was well aware that once this matter got out, it would definitely shake the foundation of the magic circle.

The competition in the same track was already so fierce. The arrival of Angel and others directly opened up a new track outside the track, and the resources of this new track were plundered from the original track, further compressing the growth space of magicians in the Modern City, which would definitely cause an uproar.

It may even lead to a boycott or even hatred among all members.

Is this kind of thing important? Without a doubt, it is important.

When Angel shared this information, it was equivalent to handing a sharp blade that could unite the magicians of Modern City to Vera.

The sincerity is also very strong.

Therefore, just from the information about this matter itself, it is definitely enough to offset the price she paid.

only……

"Isn't it a bit too difficult to identify your people based on this feature alone? Don't you have any special marks?"

In response to Vera's question, Angel raised his eyebrows and said, "I originally thought that you would be surprised by this matter and ask the reason. But I didn't expect that you would care more about our method of identification?"

Vera: "Will you tell me if I ask you?"

Angel pointed upwards again: "I can only say that this is the power given to us from above."

Vera's eyes flashed a little, but it quickly disappeared: "It's not the same as not saying it."

After a pause, Vera asked, "...Does each of you have such power?"

Angel: "Yes. But you don't have to worry that our people will impact the magic foundation of Modern City. We have not entered Modern City much, and we can't shake any pillars."

"Also, although our people can steal the challenge missions from you, the missions we steal are much more difficult than your original challenge missions. It is not so easy to complete them. In a sense, it can be considered fair competition."

"The most important thing is that we can only obtain the magic book if we abide by the rules here. And our acquisition of the magic book is no different from that of the people here."

The upper limit of the number of pages for a low-level magician is 10. As you go up one level, even for a high-level magician, without the expansion of special pages, the upper limit is 30 pages.

In other words, their people can become high-level magicians and get at most thirty tasks. Is that a lot?

Compared to the huge magic circle of Modern City, it is too little.

What's more, it's not easy to become a high-level magician.

"We will still have to go through the promotion mission." Angel: "If we can't pass the promotion mission, then there will be even fewer pages to obtain."

Therefore, under this situation and this base number, it is impossible to impact the foundation of the magic circle.

This is another reason why Angel revealed this information.

It seems important, and indeed it is important, but when it is said out loud, it ultimately does not cause much of a stir.

The fact was just as Ingres expected. After confirming that the flow was correct, Vera did agree with Ingres' words.

I was a little worried that my magicians might be affected, but now I think that not many people will be affected...

Vera: "Two days ago, when I went to Tina Entertainment, I heard two pieces of news. One of their clown employees failed in the challenge mission he accepted; even Lily, the current chief planner of Tina Entertainment, failed in a monster series of a famous brand."

"Did your people do this?"

Angel nodded noncommittally: "To be precise, I did it all."

"You?" Vera was stunned, and suddenly thought of something: "That sensational variety show at the entrance of Tina Building before..."

Angel: "I did it too. I took advantage of a magician's assignment to organize a variety show in public."

Ingres gave the answer without any hesitation.

It even added the tasks that the clown and Lily received, and specifically pointed out that the task of "Who makes the clown laugh" was related to Sisley.

"It was because of this mission that I came into contact with Sisley and learned some secrets of the Dark Corner."

Vera was also stunned when she heard this.

Because according to Ingres, he had just come into contact with Sisley a few days ago. As a result, it didn't take long to investigate Alfred?

Progress so fast?

Angel: "If Ms. Vera is curious about Alfred's line, I will tell her next time I have a chance. But now, let's get back to the topic?"

Although they say “let’s talk again when there’s a chance”, they are actually implying that the three questions this time have been used up and they should talk about it sooner next time.

Vera also noticed that Ingres took "equivalent exchange" very seriously and had a strong sense of boundaries, so he was unlikely to extend the problem.

She was silent for a moment, but still nodded: "Then go on."

Angel spread his hands: "I have said everything I need to say. I even told you about the challenge I accepted. Isn't that enough?"

Vera: "..."

In terms of intelligence value: enough, of course it is enough.

But Vera still felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that this information was very valuable, but it didn't seem to have much to do with her...

Vera frowned and thought for two seconds: "But if we only rely on the method you mentioned, it will be difficult to completely distinguish your people."

Angel: "You still care whether our people have any special marks?"

Vera nodded.

Angel shrugged. "I'm sorry to tell you that without any other markings, you can't tell them apart just by appearance."

In fact, what Angel wanted to say was that the challenger's appearance also had characteristics, and some characteristics were even very obvious, but under the "rules of the power of wonderland", the people in the copy could not distinguish those characteristics at all.

For example, star worms.

The appearance of the star worm is so obvious that it doesn't even have facial features. All of its skin is pitch black, just like the starry sky with nebulae flowing around.

The starworms look nothing like the people here.

But no one has ever questioned this.

This is the cognitive correction made by the power of the fairyland to the NPCs in the copy.

In this case, even if a challenger with extremely obvious characteristics entered the Modern City, they would not be able to distinguish him.

That's why Ingres said, "You can't tell the difference just by appearance."

Vera didn't know that cognitive correction was involved, but she believed in flow. Since there was no reaction from flow, it meant that Angel was telling the truth.

It is impossible to tell by appearance alone. The only way to tell is to see whether the challenge mission has failed, and use this to reversely infer the contactor.

The method is still quite troublesome, but given Vera's status and position, there are ways to tell the difference if she really wants to.

However, Vera thought about it and decided to forget it.

The main thing is to catch them, it seems there is no point...

Thinking about this, Vera felt that it was almost the same whether she had heard the third question or not.

"Did you reveal this information on purpose?" Vera asked doubtfully.

Angel: "This is indeed our core intelligence."

Flow had no reaction, which meant that what Ingres said was true.

But Angel did not respond directly: "What I'm asking is, did you choose this intelligence on purpose?"

This time, Angel still didn't answer, but just kept smiling.

Seeing this, Vera already knew that Angel definitely did it on purpose. But it was hard to find fault with it, because this was indeed the core information.

Vera gritted her teeth secretly, but finally took out the magic book helplessly and waved it lightly.

The flow, graffiti, and invisible cloth disappeared in an instant and returned to the magic book.

The surroundings became a quiet cafe again.

Through the glass near the window, you can see Lizzie sitting outside under the street light.

"Now that we're no longer in the flow, maybe we can just chat?" Vera said.

Angel: "If you want to continue with the questions just now, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

In other words, Angel was not happy to get information for free, even outside of the Heart Flow.

Vera felt a surge of resentment in her heart, and looked at Angel dimly: "I thought Lizzie was already very stubborn, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than her."

Vera let out a long sigh: "Forget it, don't ask those questions. But about Liz's question, I need to know an answer."

"what is the problem?"

"What is your relationship with Lizzie?"

Angel: "Friend."

Vera sneered: "I have investigated Lizzie's past, but I haven't heard that she has a friend like you."

Angel said nonchalantly, "So, you can monitor Lizzie 24 hours a day?"

"How can this be?"

Angel: "That's it. Your intelligence line can't monitor Lizzie 24 hours a day, so how can you know all of Lizzie's friends?"

Vera could see that Ingres was just being perfunctory and most likely lying.

Apart from the state of flow, Ingres's answer was not even pretending.

As expected, she shouldn't have withdrawn from the flow so early. However, with Angel's bad personality, he probably wouldn't answer any questions in the flow.

Vera: "I won't ask anything else. I just want to say that Lizzie is an excellent magician. If you have any intentions towards Lizzie, it's best not to deceive or use her."

Previously, when Vera discovered that Lizzie was using Alfred's intelligence, she once suspected that Lizzie was a spy.

But as she interacted with Liz over the past two days, she was moved by her rationality, justice and determination.

That's why Vera doesn't want Lizzie to be used by Angel.

"I have never deceived Liz. As for exploitation..." Angel thought for a moment, "Although I did ask Liz to help me with some things, this did not go against Liz's wishes. This should not be considered exploitation."

Vera suddenly thought of her previous conversation with Lizzie: "So, you told her about the information about the corpses in Tina Building?"

Angel nodded without comment.

"I have a special mission. I need to investigate the identity of a corpse. I asked Vera to help." Angel did not hide this matter.

Vera frowned slightly: "Special mission?"

Angel: "You can think of it as a challenge mission. However, the mission only investigates one corpse. The others were all investigated by Lizzie herself."

Vera stared at Angel: "But have you ever thought that this will put her in danger?"

Angel: “No.”

"???"

"I said, she won't be put in danger."

Angel left a nightmare mark on Lizzie, so that she could contact him at any time, and also as a means of protection in times of danger.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for Lizzie to encounter danger.

Vera looked at Angel suspiciously. Although she didn't know why Angel was so sure, she could see seriousness in his eyes.

Then...just believe him for now.

While they were chatting, Lizzie had walked into the store from outside without them noticing.

"I just saw that you guys had canceled the magic, so I came in to take a look..." Lizzie was a little reserved, "Or should I leave first?"

Angel shook his head. "No, we've already finished talking. We just talked about the corpses in the Tina Building."

Having said that, Angel turned to look at Lizzie.

"By the way, have you confirmed Shadiya's identity?"

Lizzie shook her head a little embarrassedly: "The latest progress is that her previous roommate remembered that Xia Diya seemed to have been to the underground block."

"So, there is a certain possibility that Xia Diya came from the underground district."

But it's hard to say.

Because according to Lizzie's judgment, Xia Diya has two origins, either from organizations in other city-states, or from organizations in the underground block.

There are many secret societies in the underground blocks, some of which may come from other city-states.

Therefore, we only know that Xia Diya has been to the underground block, but we cannot make any further inferences.

Therefore, although Liz said it was the latest progress, in fact, it was not much different from the progress when she last reported to Angel.

"It's mainly because it's been too long, and many traces have been hidden. And Xia Diya is alone, so it's hard to find clues." Li Zi: "I'm trying to find clues through fashion magic... but it's not easy to find matching fashion magic."

There was an apologetic look in Lizzie's eyes. She felt sorry that this matter had dragged on for so long.

"It doesn't matter. It's just an ordinary..." Angel wanted to say that it was just an ordinary side quest. It didn't matter if it wasn't completed. Besides, there was no time limit for this quest, so there was no need to worry too much.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a light exclamation.

"Shadya?"

"This name sounds a little familiar to me..."
