Chapter 3858 Spy Suspicion
After listening to Lizzie's story, Angel tended to agree with her guess.
Indeed, if we consider the general environment at that time, it is possible that Shadiya was a spy sent by other organizations.
"So where do you think she is a spy from?" Angel asked.
Liz: "It's hard to be sure. Prada Media and the Dark Round Table, both organizers of the three major competitions, are more likely. But we can't rule out other secret organizations. As far as I know, there were many secret organizations operating in the dark during that period, as well as outpost organizations from other cities."
"They could all be sending spies to us."
Although there are only three major organizations in Modern City, there are actually many associations in secret, including the Hermits Society that Angel had joined before, which is actually also a secret organization.
Any organization that is not under the management of the Fashion Guild may send spies.
Therefore, it is still difficult to determine which organization Shadiya is a spy for.
"Is it possible, then, to determine not which organization Shadiya came from, but to use some circumstantial evidence to determine her identity and former residence?"
The focus of the side quest "Return Home" is to send Shadiya back to her home, and it is not necessary to clarify which spy she is.
Perhaps, we can bypass the process and get the result directly?
Lizzie shook her head after hearing this: "It's impossible. If we want to send her remains back to her family, we must first confirm her social identity. It's very likely that 'Shadiya' is just the name she used as a spy, not her real name."
In order to determine her "real name", the only method Lizzie could think of was to start from the reason of "who sent the spy".
After all, the organization that sent out the spy must know the true identity of "Shadya".
But now the question returns to the previous situation. How to determine which spy Shadiya is from?
Lizzie pondered for a moment and said, "I actually have a way."
"This is not the spy era of five years ago. Whether it's Prada Media or the Dark Round Table, at least on the surface, they haven't torn their faces with us, and they are still relatively harmonious." Liz: "So, if I contact them in the name of returning the bones, maybe there is a chance that I can get some information."
"but……"
Lizzie hesitated halfway through her speech.
"But what?" Angel wondered.
Lizzie shook her head and did not immediately answer Angel's doubts. Instead, she analyzed on her own: "If Shadiya is from Prada Media, it is actually easier to deal with, because Prada Media is currently in a slump. I know their head Yusup, and he is a money-grubber. If the money is in place, he will give you all the information."
"But, I personally guess that Xiadiya is unlikely to come from Prada Media."
"After the great change five years ago, many magicians from Prada Media joined the Fashion Guild. From what I know about them and what they have told me about the internal situation of Prada Media, Prada Media is very loyal to its employees."
Even those magicians who resigned and joined the Fashion Guild never said anything bad about Prada Media. In fact, the fact that Prada Media is still on the verge of collapse and has not been completely crushed by the Fashion Guild is also due to the intercession of these magicians.
From this we can see that even employees who voluntarily resigned, or even those who were considered to have "betrayed" Prada Media by others, still had a good impression of Prada Media, which is enough to show how loyal and righteous Prada Media is to its employees and magicians.
"So, if Shadiya really is from Prada Media, considering how much they value every employee, it's impossible that they didn't make any move when they found out that they couldn't contact Shadiya for five years."
“Therefore, I concluded that Shadiya might not be from Prada Media.”
Angel also agreed with Liz's point of view. Shadiya was declared missing five years ago. If she was from Prada Media, given Yusup's personality, he would at least ask about her, not to mention looking for Liz in a high-profile manner.
But the reality is that Shadiya's disappearance is like a stone thrown into a quagmire. It sank completely without causing any ripples or even an echo.
In five years, no one came looking for information about Shadiya.
It was as if Shadiya was a ghost without an identity and without any social connection.
This is obviously not normal.
"So, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities for Xia Diya's identity." Li Zi: "First, she is from another city-state."
Modern City is a "new city". In the eyes of magician organizations in other cities, it is a brand new cake. If possible, they naturally want to have a piece of it.
Therefore, there are actually many secret societies from other cities within the Modern City.
If Shadiya came from one of these secret societies, then it is reasonable that no one cared about her disappearance for many years. Because these societies have a small number of members, if there are spies among them, they are basically dead. In other words, the original intention of them being sent as spies may have been to abandon death, so if they really died, it would not cause any ripples.
"But isn't Shadiya an ordinary person? Moreover, she is a cleaning lady. Can she really be a death spy?" Angel was a little skeptical.
Lizzie: "Of course, they don't necessarily volunteer to be killed. The more ordinary they are, the easier it is to exploit their weaknesses. For example, threatening with relatives or children... Moreover, ordinary people have no mental resistance and are more susceptible to brainwashing by magicians."
In short, even if Xia Diya is an ordinary person, she could be a dead spy.
"The second possibility is that Shadiya may be from the underground district."
According to Lizzie's analysis, if Xia Diya was not from another city-state, then the only possibility left was the "underground block".
Because, although the underground blocks seem to have a certain order, if you trace them back to the source, they are actually still chaotic and disorderly.
No birth certificates, no death certificates, no identity statistics, no social connections…
This is the norm in underground neighborhoods.
"There are many digital towns in the underground blocks, such as the First Town, the Second Town, and so on. The people in these towns are a little better, at least they still have social relationships such as neighbors."
"But the underground streets are mostly people who live outside these small towns. These people have no social identity at all..."
If Shadiya was from the underground district and not a resident of the small town, it would be reasonable for her to have been missing for many years without anyone noticing.
Even if Xia Diya was a resident of the underground town, her disappearance would not cause any waves.
Do the people in the underground neighborhood dare to run to the surface, or even surround the Tina Building to speak up for Shadiya?
Obviously impossible.
Moreover, most organizations that use ordinary people in the underground blocks as spies have a "use it and throw it away" mentality, and will not care about Shadiya's disappearance without reason.
Lizzie sighed: "I am now afraid of these two situations. The former is definitely impossible to find, and the latter is just a matter of luck..."
Angel thought for a moment and said, "She shouldn't be from the outer city."
The scope of the dungeon is limited, only within the Modern City, and the font color of the "mission objective" is normal, which means it can be completed.
In other words, Shadiya's home is definitely not in any other city-state.
"Not from the outer city..." Lizzie didn't ask Angel how he judged it, but just murmured in a low voice: "If Xia Diya is from the underground district, then I can only pray that she was sent by the Dark Round Table."
At least, the Dark Round Table still has a certain order, and maybe there is information about Shadya left there.
As for other organizations in the underground block... they really don't treat spies as human beings.
"I'll contact the Dark Round Table and Prada Media first." Liz: "Although according to my speculation, the possibility of Prada Media is not very high, but it can't be completely ruled out."
Angel nodded: "Contact me when you have the results."
Lizzie nodded. "If nothing works in the end, I can only go and see if anyone's style eye has awakened the information ability..."
"The Style Eye awakens its information ability?" Angel was stunned.
Lizzie: "The Style Eye has the most bonus to the ability to 'see', especially some of the hidden abilities of the Style Eye. Many of the bonuses to the eyes are like the pupil skills in novels and storybooks."
For example, Lizzie had heard that some people have the ability to see hidden information in things.
For a corpse like Shatia's, Lizzie could at most confirm the gender of the corpse; but a magician who had awakened the ability to "see hidden information in things" might be able to lock on Shatia's identity with just one glance.
"However, I only heard that someone has this ability, but I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, we'll talk about it later. At least the clues of this case have not reached a dead end yet."
Lizzie's words also reminded Angel.
In fact, it is not necessary to check step by step.
Fashion magic is very powerful in functionality and auxiliary functions, and many fashion magic can actually be used for this task.
Just like what Xia Diya said about style eyes.
Also, Angel now has the puzzle pieces of the time-lapse radio. Maybe if he can extract a few powerful abilities, he can use the time-lapse radio to trace back to Shadiya's past...
Moreover, the fragment of "Style Eye" is actually waving to Angel. After he finishes his business, go to Modern Middle School and complete the task of "Miss Halloween", and you can get the fragment of Style Eye.
At that time, I can ask Com, the destined man, to borrow some luck, and maybe I can develop the ability of "viewing hidden information" of the Style Eye.
Thinking of this, Angel's depressed mood, which was originally trapped in the "return home" mission, was instantly relieved.
I even had the mood to chat with Lizzie about other topics.
For example, "Irena".
Arina, an NPC with a story that Gleipnir had discovered before.
At that time, near Prada Media Company, Gleipnir happened to hear Irina's name and saw Irina's personal information.
Irina is currently a front desk staff at Prada Media, but according to the NPC information, her true identity is actually a spy planted by Tina Entertainment.
And Irina also has a side quest called "The Girl Walking on the Tightrope".
It just so happened that they were now talking about the topic of "spies", and Angel was also very curious about Irina's information.
Moreover, Gleipnir had previously hinted that he wanted to contact Erina to complete her side quest. Angel didn't mind asking for some information for her in advance.
"I didn't expect that Sir even knew about Irina." Lizzie was a little surprised: "When I suspected that Xia Diya was a spy, I checked the internal spy list and saw Irina."
"So do you know anything about her?" Ingres asked.
Lizzie: "I haven't met Irina, but according to internal intelligence, Irina was a spy sent to Prada Media three years ago."
"Her direct department is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I don't know much about Irina's personality, style of doing things, etc. Only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows."
"However, Irina has a special place among many spies. She comes from the underground community, which is why I am impressed by her."
Angel was stunned: "Underground block?"
Lizzie nodded. "It is said that she was a cadre from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We met her in the underground district. She was originally a swindler, but she was caught because she was exposed when she deceived the cadre. Then it was discovered that she was a very talented performer. She could act like anything, so she was taken to the headquarters for training and became a spy."
Lizzie: "If Sir is interested in Irina, I can go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and apply to see her mission report."
Angel: “Not for now.”
Angel himself had no intention of completing Erina's side quest. If Gleipnir wanted to complete it, it would not be too late to check it out then.
At present, I can already explain this basic information to Gleipnir.
However, from Lizzie's description, Irina is an extremely talented "swindler", but her identity was exposed by a cadre from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs... If she was really talented, would she be exposed so easily?
This always sounds a bit strange.
Moreover, in Lizzie's story, Irina didn't seem to have any special experience: she was a scammer in the underground streets when she was young, was discovered by a "Bo Le", came to Tina Entertainment for training, and then became a spy and was sent to Prada Media...
If this is the resume of a "spy", there is really nothing special about it.
But if Irina is not special, how can she have NPC information and her own side quests?
"The Girl Walking on a Tightrope" is the name of Irina's side quest. Generally speaking, the name of a quest is actually a projection or portrayal of the quest itself.
There must be some reasons worth exploring why Irina is the "girl walking on the tightrope".
Angel silently made a note of this matter in his heart, and told Gleipnir later, letting her check it herself...
Another five minutes later, Lizzie's assistant finally retrieved the information of the former Noble Knight from the database of the Fashion Guild headquarters.
After disconnecting from the assistant, Lizzie looked at the empty office and whispered, "Sir, are you still there?"
"exist."
Lizzie breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I have already obtained information about the former noble knight of the Dark Round Table, Alfred Royster."
"According to the records, there were intelligence updates about him before, but since five years ago, his intelligence has stopped updating..."
