Yes, Madam Prime Minister

It was filled with paper documents, with a letter and a list at the top.

The letter was written by Louise's father to Ronan, and the list was naturally there to make it easier for Ronan and his companions to find the key information they needed.

Ronan lit an oil lamp, opened the letter, and began to read.

The letter is short, with only three main parts.

First, tell Ronan that what happened in Suleiman last year was orchestrated by Frank, who was also the one remotely controlling the beaked monster. Some of the technology related to the beaked monster is in that pile of documents.

Secondly, Armandina and Frank are not in a subordinate relationship; in fact, their relationship is not harmonious, and they may even have been enemies, though he is unaware of the specifics. The events in Austria are likely related to Armandina. If you want to know more, you can contact a man named Sigrid; his contact information is in the documents.

Third, the company hasn't had any major projects in the last decade, but has been focusing all its efforts on advancing international patent law. However, Frank secretly gathered a group of people for a project. He wasn't involved, but he learned some of the details, which are also in that document.

After reading it, Ronan put the letter away.

Then, Ronan picked up the list and began to skim through it.

There are a lot of items. It's clear that Louise's father didn't just collect this information on a whim in a short period of time, adding his own memories. He must have been collecting and recording a lot of things with a plan and purpose from a very early age, and finally compiled and organized them into this box of things.

The idea that they want to protect themselves because they haven't been trusted in recent years is a lie.

He either foresaw this day coming, or he had planned to betray them all along.

"The problem is complex, but the solution is simple."

Ronan muttered to himself.

The events of decades ago are shrouded in mystery, and the relationships between Frank and Armandina, Louise and Liz's father, and other people are even more complicated. The relationship between G&A Company and some of Seres' businesses is also unclear.

Ronan couldn't sort these things out in a short time.

However, he didn't need to figure it out.

What's the best way to untie a complicated knot? Of course, it's to just cut it with scissors.

Similarly, Ronan only needs to kill Frank, and everything will naturally unfold.

In the middle of the night, Ronan arrived in Chang'an.

He called all his women over, and each of them was assigned a task to read through the box of documents that Louise's father had prepared as quickly as possible.

Midway through, the tea lost its flavor, so Ronan took the teapot outside to brew another pot. As he walked into the courtyard, he saw a faint ray of light shooting straight into the sky in the far distance.

Meanwhile, unusual fluctuations were also coming from underground where they were stationed. This underground area was the location of another dimension, where a completed portal to another time and space existed.

The women also sensed something was wrong and immediately came out of the house.

Faced with this strange phenomenon, Ronan quickly assigned tasks: "Falek, Canaan, Faith, come with me to check out the situation in the lower dimension. Isa, Ashley, Xiaoying, and Jianling, go check in the direction of that unusual white light. Anli, connect the remote communication. Hanlu, go outside and don't let anyone get close. Alice and Golan, you stay here."

Subsequently, Ronan and the three members of the technical team quickly went to the alternate dimension to begin their investigation.

On the other side, Lu Jianling is quick-witted and decisive, with strong combat capabilities; Ashley is the best scout; and Madam Zhao and Isabel possess time and space abilities, ensuring that the action team can easily evacuate in any situation.

Chapter 1276 Chang'an and Luoyang, Chaos Approaching, the Source of the Anomaly

In a different space.

After a thorough examination.

"The entire system is intact and there are no abnormalities," Canaan reported, adding, "I am absolutely certain there are no problems."

So here's the question: what was that unusual fluctuation just now?

“I guess it’s resonance,” Farek said. “There’s been a lot of unusual activity in Luoyang, which caused a resonance here in Chang’an. However, since this alternate dimension has been modified by us and is no longer the original alternate dimension, and the isolation and sealing have been strengthened, it only resonated for the first time. Otherwise, it would happen again after a while.”

Ronan thought for a moment, and realized that the white light shooting into the sky was indeed from the direction of Luoyang.

If that's true, then something terrible has happened, as Luoyang is currently the capital of Seris.

“Since there’s no problem here, let’s go up first,” Ronan said. “Later, I’ll go to Luoyang, you guys stay here.”

Outside, Guo Hanlu was dealing with a patrol team.

When a murder occurs, they proceed slowly and deliberately, but when faced with this unusual fluctuation, they practically run for their lives. The reason is simple: the former is something the master doesn't care about, it's a minor matter, while the latter is something the master cares about, it's undoubtedly a major matter.

After fabricating a lie to fool them, Guo Hanlu pulled out a few silver dollars. "The three of you have come here in the middle of the night, it must have been hard for you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please take it and have a bowl of mutton soup. It's my way of showing my gratitude." "You flatter me," the squad leader said with a forced smile. Guo Hanlu was clearly a superhuman far stronger than him, a big shot. "However, madam, we definitely have to report this kind of thing, and the special investigation team will be searching the place."

This kind of thing is far more serious than any murder case.

"I know, I know," Guo Hanlu said with a smile, appearing very calm.

They are not afraid of investigation. No one can sense the alternate dimension. Even if the special investigation team digs three feet into the ground, they will not find the entrance to the alternate dimension, let alone their project.

The only thing to worry about is another abnormal fluctuation. At that time, even if the officials in Luoyang can't find anything, they might still order their detention, cordon off the area, and then investigate their actions over the past year or two. That would be troublesome.

Fortunately, there have been no further fluctuations so far.

After seeing the three patrol officers off, Falek and the others came over and said something. Guo Hanlu instantly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no more disturbances, there wouldn't be any trouble. "Even if there were, they probably wouldn't be able to care about this side," Canaan said.

Guo Hanlu was taken aback, and then Falek repeated her speculation.

"This, this is really..." Guo Hanlu was speechless for a moment.

Chang'an is so close to Luoyang, if something really bad happens in Luoyang, they really won't be able to take care of things here.

the other side.

Lu Jianling and Isabel were outside the city ready to provide support at any time, while Ashley led Madam Zhao into the city.

At this moment, the altar, which had been used for grand sacrificial ceremonies to heaven for the past thousand years, was surrounded by people. After nearly two hundred years, strange phenomena had once again appeared here, and the last time it had caused the collapse of the dynasty and chaos throughout the land.

The altar was surrounded by powerful figures, and it was foreseeable that it wouldn't be long before the top superhumans in all of Seris arrived. Although there were many people and chaotic auras here, making it difficult to sense any particular person, Ashley did not take Madam Zhao any closer for the sake of caution. If they were discovered and identified as suspicious, it would be troublesome.

Anyway, they have already determined the location of the incident.

As for what exactly happened, even if the two of them went closer to investigate, they wouldn't be able to get a reliable result. That's something that only professionals like Falek and Canaan could make a judgment on.

Ashley led Madam Zhao back and left Luoyang.

When they reunited with Lu Jianling and Isabel, Ronan arrived just in time.

Ashley described the scene she had seen to Mrs. Zhao.

"From the center of the altar grew a tree that emitted a white light, like mutton-fat jade. It was bare, with only branches and no leaves, and not very tall, only four or five meters. However, at the top of the tree were a cluster of branches that looked like outstretched fingers. These branches, like hands, held up a large, bright white sphere of light in the air."

Its diameter may exceed ten meters, much larger than the entire tree, and the white beam of light shooting straight up into the sky was also emitted by this white sphere.

From the distant Luoyang, it appears as a thin white line, barely visible, almost like an illusion. But up close, it is an extremely thick and dazzling pillar of light that is so bright that one cannot open their eyes when they get close.

"Besides this, there's something else unusual. The area around this altar has been completely sealed off by soldiers, yet people are constantly being carried out of it. Although the people being carried away are covered with cloths, these soldiers aren't exactly formidable. I still managed to observe the situation. Those being carried away are likely some residents from the surrounding area. These people are still alive, but they look like zombies." Zombies?

"Forget about Luoyang for now," Ronan said. "Let's go back and continue looking at those documents."

There are priorities, and the most important thing is to get rid of Frank. Besides, because of the abnormal fluctuations below the house, he was too busy hiding from the Seres to get involved in their troubles.

Furthermore, it's hard to say that the anomalies in Seris are unrelated to Frank.

Meanwhile, the same thing is happening in France, thousands of miles away.

New Sea City, Ronan-Wright Higher School of Magic.

This school was originally a primary school built by Ronan on the site of a small castle left by Baron Léte, where he renovated and converted it into a basic school to test aptitude and teach some basic French and mathematics, as well as some rudimentary advanced knowledge. But two hundred years later, it has become a university, and the most famous university in southern France.

This was inseparable from the support of several generations of kings starting with Ronan's son, Lluín the Younger, as well as Ronan's former protégés and officials, but more importantly, the economy of New Sea City remained very good.

It connects to the southern continent on the other side of the Mediterranean and is itself a trading port and naval port with a thriving commerce. In addition, sugarcane, rubber, cotton and copper ore from the southern continent are transported here, naturally forming large-scale sugar production, imitation, rubber and copper processing industries, along with other miscellaneous industries, providing a huge number of jobs.

At this moment, in the open space of the training ground where the auditorium was a hundred years ago is now, a tree has sprung up, and at the top of the tree is a huge white sphere of light, from which a huge beam of light shoots into the sky.

The school's teachers and students had already evacuated, while Garcia, who moved with Frank's physique, the composed Amandina, and a group of people "invited" by Frank, were all around the white tree, watching this strange sight.

What exactly it is, no one knows.

But many people think this is not a good thing.

After all, some students at the school, as well as many ordinary school staff, have experienced terrifying mutations in their bodies.

Apart from Garcia and a few others, no one present knew that a larger-scale mutation was occurring in other parts of France.

Chapter 1277 Chaos, Flames and Zombies, Observing the Circumstances

On December 29, 1785, in Paristo, which was still covered in snow, a strange change quietly occurred.

The handsome, blond-haired young man, Anthony, took out an exquisite silver flask, took a swig of brandy, put on a long black cloak, and went out. "Sigh, it's my turn to be on duty."

Anthony couldn't help but complain.

He was a member of the Pavis tribe, a group that was the main force of the royal guard in the dynasty preceding the Golden Eagle Dynasty. After the Golden Eagle Dynasty took control of France, most of them left France to work as mercenaries in Venetian. Two hundred years ago, Ronan ascended to the throne, and Elena also rose to a high position, leading many to seek refuge with him and infiltrate the French police system. With the advent of transformation technology, this group with their primitive beliefs suddenly became popular, and they once again infiltrated the royal guard.

Later, during the revolution, they were no longer as rigid as their ancestors and joined the revolutionary ranks.

With the rise of artificial transplantation technology, their status has increased once again, because they are particularly compatible with the transplanted tissue. With the same transplanted tissue, they can exert stronger power, and even unexpectedly awaken some superpowers. Moreover, they are very stable and will not develop mental problems due to high-intensity combat.

Nowadays, they are known as the Golden-Eyed Ravens by the French because many of them are special police officers who wear black coats and whose pupils turn gold when they activate their magic.

"Fortunately, I'm in charge of the wealthy area."

Anthony was relieved that there was little trouble in the wealthy neighborhood.

Not only that, he also had the opportunity to secretly meet his love interest.

Anthony took another swig of wine and continued on his patrol route.

Before reaching the wealthy area, he had to pass through several working-class neighborhoods. Although the people there weren't poor enough to live in cramped apartments, their living conditions were just average, so the houses were very densely packed.

Suddenly, Anthony saw a flash of light, was astonished, and rushed over, only to be instantly dumbfounded, "This, this..."

Since the time of Ronan, the population of Palisto has been increasing rapidly. Even though the growth rate has declined sharply in recent years, the influx of outsiders has kept the population close to ten million, which is terrifying.

Of these nine million people, eight million were ordinary people without supernatural powers. On this morning, the vast majority of ordinary people were awakened by a sharp, burning pain in their chests. Most of them only experienced a brief pain, but a small number of them underwent a terrible transformation.

However, even if this small portion is expressed in numerical terms, it is still a terrifying number exceeding one hundred thousand.

It felt like fire was burning inside the chests of 100,000 people. They kept drinking water and scratching their chests, trying to extinguish the fire inside their chests. However, even after they vomited water and scratched their chests, they could not relieve the burning pain. They rushed out of their homes and threw themselves into the snow, hoping that the cold ice and snow could alleviate the pain.

The pain was still intense, but the cold stimulation made their senses slow down and become numb, and they felt much better.

However, they didn't realize that they were rapidly turning into half-rotten zombies.

Along the snow-covered street, corpses lay lying face down in the snow, neatly arranged, resembling a shocking cult sacrifice ritual.

Soon, the corpses in the snow began to dry out, resembling withered trees.

Gradually, these "corpses" crawled out of the snow, and flames suddenly burst into flames on their bodies.

And this was the horrific scene that Anthony witnessed.

Upon seeing Anthony, these flaming zombies pounced on him like hungry beasts spotting a delicious meal.

Anthony blasted several bullets away, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

He then leaped onto the rooftops and hopped between the houses.

There were too many of these fire zombies, and they could also absorb the magic power of others; he alone could not possibly deal with them.

"Amell."

With his lover's name in his heart, Anthony quickly ran towards her residence.

He was eager to confirm his lover's safety; reporting back to his department was a matter for later.

Meanwhile, in the open space outside Louise's kitchen.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Louise's older brother, Bemon, shielded his sister Amell behind him, his breathing rapid as he stared ahead.

Not far from him was Louise, whose body was covered in a layer of ice crystals, and a corpse whose head had been smashed by Louise, but whose body was still on fire, with flames flickering wildly.

Louise's sister, Amell, was still sitting on the snow, shaken.

Amell is a delicate and sensitive person. She sensed that something was wrong at home, but she didn't dare to ask her mother. She hadn't slept well for two days in a row because she was holding it in.

She, who was in charge of managing the inner quarters, got up early again and found that breakfast had not been prepared. She stormed out of the main building and came to the kitchen, only to find a burning person rushing towards her, which made her scream in fright.

In terms of actual strength, she was much stronger than the fire zombie, but she was so frightened that she lost her composure and only cared about running away. As a result, the fire zombie absorbed her magic power, and the more she ran, the weaker she became.

Before Louise and Bemon arrived, she was almost caught by the zombies. "She's still alive?" Louise looked at the zombies on the ground with amusement.

Bemon wanted to finish her off, but Louise stopped him. "What are you doing?" Bemon questioned.

“Brother, this is a great research subject, don’t kill it like this,” Louise said. As she was speaking, she suddenly sensed that an outsider had entered her house. “Forget it, just kill it. You take my sister back first, I’ll go catch some mice.”

After saying that, Louise ran to the front yard.

At this moment, the blond youth Anthony was being cornered in the courtyard by Lavana and Liz. Although he tried to explain, it was to no avail. Lavana and Liz didn't know him and naturally wouldn't let him pass.

Upon seeing Louise, Anthony, though he didn't recognize her, guessed who she was. "Miss Louise?"

"Who are you?" Louise didn't recognize this person at all.
