The lobby of the barbecue restaurant.

Xia Feng stared at the newspaper in a daze, repeating the names mentioned above in shock.

"White-faced Owl, Mel, Hemmer......."

Seeing Xia Feng's expression, Ah Guang asked tentatively.

"Brother Feng, are you ..... Meet these people mentioned above? ”

Lapland's voice came from outside.

"Boss, can't you leave?"

Xia Feng didn't answer, he walked to the innermost desk in a trance and sat on the chair without saying a word.

....

If the information in the newspaper is true, that is.

Nine months after he escaped from the Rhine with Ifrit, the Hermers finally couldn't resist the pressure and were arrested.

The newspaper was gently placed on the table, Xia Feng scratched his hair a little dazedly, his thoughts were completely confused.

Something is wrong, there are so many things that are wrong.

...

Xia Feng remembered that at that time, Hemmer had falsified the scene and data of Ifrit's escape, and if the white-faced owl was also caught, it would prove that the white-faced owl had used his authority to modify some information and assist them in escaping.

But why, did this matter come to light after 9 months?

If Rhine Life had decided that Helmer had let Ifrit go at the outset, the best thing to do was to detain him immediately and use Hemmer to threaten Ifrit, who had fled, to return on his own.

Could it be that Serena also helped?

Since it has been concealed, why did Rhine Life take extreme measures after such a long time?

...

The interior of Rhine's life was so complicated that for such a long time, it was impossible to imagine what had happened.

Xia Feng couldn't gain insight into the situation of Rhine's life, but he knew that there was a big problem in front of him at this time.

That's the newspaper in front of you.

As a state-supported scientific research institution, why would the core personnel leak the secrets of the experiment in the newspaper and tell people all over the world?

This is undoubtedly a detrimental thing to the image, just like someone's wife cheating, and after being caught by him, he has to take a loudspeaker and shout on the street, "My wife is cheating, her and the adulterer's name is XXX." ”

Rhine Life is an organization where rationality is greater than everything, there is no need to cling to irreparable things, and the most important thing is to stop loss.

But if they think they can still get it back, they will do whatever it takes.

It is somewhat inaccurate to say that unscrupulous means should be called, adopt the most scientific means.

The haze on Xia Feng's face is getting thicker and thicker, and it is obvious that this news is not for the people who eat melons all over the world, but for him alone.

Sure enough, what he feared most came true.

Because Ifrit used the exaggerated power of the fire demon several times, it finally aroused the awareness of Rhine's life, and the most recent one should be the previous trip to Ursus.

....

In the Rhine Life Archives, Ifrit 019 was not a successful test subject, as she destroyed Experimental Base 4.

However, even if she didn't succeed, she became the only one, as the Stone of Fire Demon had disappeared and merged into her body.

The Rhine life does not understand the mystery of the fusion of fire demons, and they only want to let her control this power little by little by constantly changing Ifrit's genes, and at the same time, they also have to take the risk of failure.

It was because of this method of experimentation with a high failure rate that Hermer chose to let Ifrit escape.

However, in the sea leaving Colombia, facing the attack of the trolls of the depths, Ifrit became the master of the power of the firefiend for the first time.

It's not genetics, it's not body structure, it's not medication-aided.

It's emotional.

The reason why Ifrit was unable to control the Firefiend was because her mind was very unsound, and if she continued to stay in the closed Rhine life, she would never be able to grow.

Obviously, Rhine Life does not understand the mysteries of the Flame Demon Stone, and the uncontrolled humanoid weapon will not only destroy the things around him, but also destroy himself.

After Ifrit's escape, they may have abandoned the unstable test subject and left her to fend for herself.

However, the subsequent events of the pillar of fire that took place around the world brought one thing to the attention of Rhine Life.

Ifrit was not destroyed by her own power, but was used as a "weapon" by someone.

The "weapon" that can be used has the value of existence, so as the "creator" of Ifrit, there is only one thing for Rhine Life to do, and that is to recycle.

....

"Bang!"

Ifrit snatched the door through the courtyard and grabbed the newspaper from her desk.

After a period of study, she now knows many words, and she has written the names mentioned above countless times.

"Hemer..... Hemmer she's been caught....."

At this time, Red Knife and Lapland also walked in, Xia Feng had not moved for so long, they knew that something must have happened.

Red Knife walked over to his desk and glanced at the newspaper in Ifrit's hand, and soon understood.

As a person who didn't know Xia Feng in Colombia at the beginning, Red Knife knows Xia Feng's resume quite well.

"Xia Feng, what happened to those friends of yours in Colombia?"

"Yes."

Xia Feng sat behind the desk with a dull gaze, to be honest, he was very confused now.

Confusion, this is an emotion that should not appear at this moment, if it was him before, excited, impulsive, angry, angry, this should be the emotion that dominates his behavior.

But now, he is both an executor and a decision-maker.

....

"Tear up!"

Ifrit tore the newspaper apart with her head down and threw it on the ground.

Then, without saying a word, she rushed out the door.

"Hey, Ah Guang, stop her."

Ah Guang, who was standing at the door, grabbed Ifrit, and because of the strength of the forward rush, Ah Guang, who was five big and three thick, was almost brought down.

Clutching Ifrit's shoulders tightly, Ah Guang was also a little panicked, although he didn't quite understand what was going on, but it was obviously a big deal.

"Ifrit, what are you doing here?"

Ifrit clenched her teeth, and her eyes were red.

"I'm going to save Hermer!"

"How can you save it alone, sit down first, and listen to what Brother Feng has to say."

When major changes occur, impulsiveness is an easy thing to do, especially in the face of the safety of important people, impulsiveness is a kind of self-liberation from emotions, or even escape.

At such times, people who can calm down and analyze rationally are more valuable, and Red Knife is obviously the latter.

Seeing that Xia Feng still didn't say a word, Red Knife said solemnly.

"Xia Feng, you should understand that this is a trap."

"I know."

With Red Knife's understanding of Xia Feng, Xia Feng didn't speak because he didn't know what to do, but the decision he was about to make might affect many people.

"Summer Breeze..... You. ”

At this moment, Ifrit's cry came from the couch.

Unlike the crying of playfulness, the cry of injury, and the cry of grievance before, this time, her cry was not loud, but it revealed a deep sadness.

If you want to describe it, it is the cry, which contains deep emotions, like a child who is about to lose an important person, helpless and confused crying.

Ifrit looked up, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

She looked pleadingly at the summer breeze sitting behind her desk.

"I ....."

Ifrit didn't say a complete sentence, because she had grown, and growing meant knowing more.

Hemmer was undoubtedly the most important person to her, but she wasn't sure if anyone else thought so.

...

The usual coquettishness, cheating, and arrogance have all disappeared in the face of this matter.

Ifrit didn't have the courage to say anything, so she could only look at Xia Feng pleadingly.

"I.... I want to save Hemer. ”
