"Yes, the language of Cazider World is hard to remember and express. But from the looks of it, you seem to know them like the back of your hand. How did you bypass the rules? "Ness asked.
Number 03 said calmly, "I've said it before. My soul has an imprint that they left behind. It's a barrier, a cage, and a kind of oath. Using the mark, I can bypass the rules and memorize all information.
"But I know, and only I know. I can't tell anyone."
In other words, 03 was like a secret keeper. She could know the secrets of the Soul Safety Zone, but she could not tell anyone.
She paused and continued, "Just like this base. Its real name isn't Snooker Base. It's —"
Number 03 paused for a moment and gathered some water energy on her finger. She then made a few gestures in the air.
The light blue water formed a strange symbol.
Both Angor and Ness were familiar with the symbol. Just like the tablet Ness was studying, there was a twisted tadpole-shaped symbol in the middle.
"This is the real name of the base … Tower Master Apprentice Lab 4."
"Tower Master Apprentice Lab 4?" Filo repeated Number 03's words.
Number 03 nodded and waved her hand. The water symbol in the air disappeared. Following the disappearance of the symbol, the "Tower Master Apprentice Lab 4" that was still echoing in Filo's mind was erased as if it was erased by an eraser.
The only thing he remembered was "Lab 4".
Number 03's lips curled up slightly when he saw Filo's frustrated expression. "Now you should understand that I wasn't lying, right? I can't tell you anything about them. You won't remember it even if I do. "
Filo grimaced, but he seemed to have understood something.
Ness frowned and said softly, "Since you can carve this symbol, you can carve their information on the stone slab. Even if we forget it in the blink of an eye, we can use the stone slab as a reminder to remember it again."
Number 03 sneered. "As I said, I don't know their language, and I don't know how to write it either. This symbol is one of the few symbols that I can display because it is engraved on the gate of the base. It is a symbol that is classified outside the base. "
Number 03 didn't understand the language of the Stevin Faction at all, so Ness's suggestion couldn't be carried out.
Number 03 looked at Sunders, who had remained silent the whole time. "Mister Phantom, you've seen it. There's not much I can tell you about them. Due to the oath, what I've said is the limit. "
Sunders nodded. He did not comment on the "they" mentioned by Number 03. He thought for a moment and said, "Since this is Lab 4, there should be Lab 3, Lab 2 …"
No. 03 nodded. "Yes, there are indeed laboratories with other serial numbers. However, those laboratories aren't in the Southern Region. They're in the other three Sorcerer Worlds. I don't know much about them. I only know that the Southern Region's laboratory is the weakest of all the laboratories in the base. It's also the weakest in terms of overall strength. "
Number 03 was not only explaining, but also hinting that the organization behind her was a super organization that spanned across the various Wizarding Worlds. If Sunders really wanted to attack the base, the organization would definitely hold a grudge against him. Even if they couldn't do it in the Southern Region, they would still seek revenge if Sunders went to the other three Sorcerer Worlds.
Angor knew what No.03 was hinting at, but he didn't care. It was more of a begging than a threat, which was not effective at all. Even if Sunders really had to do it, he could still accept his professor's suggestion and let the Supreme Cult take the blame.
"Only in the Four Realms of Wizardry? Not in the Origin World? "
Number 03 hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes."
"Since you're so fond of numbers, I suppose the labs in the source world are also named after numbers, right? What's the serial number then? Number 0? "
Number 03: "… Yes."
Angor kept an eye on Number 03's eyes. When Number 0 was mentioned, Number 03's pupils visibly shrank.
The serial number 0 was able to make 03's emotions fluctuate so much. It seemed that this serial number was a secret in the base's laboratory, or a high-level position.
In that case, Reynolds mentioned that there was a number 00 in the laboratory. It was very likely that it was true.
Angor exchanged a glance with Ness. The latter nodded and used his mouth to send a voice transmission to No.03 when the latter wasn't paying attention.
"Be careful. Hurry up," Ness said.
Angor knew what Ness meant. The lower the serial number, the stronger the power. If Number 00 really existed, he must be stronger than all of them.
Since Number 00 hadn't shown up yet, it was very likely that he left with Number 01 and Number 02. Angor had to hurry up and scare Number 03 to get more information. He had to get everything done before the people from the base came back.
Angor didn't reply to Ness. Instead, he looked at Number 03. "Since you can't tell me about 'them', tell me about yourself."
"I can't say much about the internal affairs of the organization," Number 03 said.
Ness pursed his lips. "You can't tell me this, and you can't tell me that. Tell me your name then. Which Sorcerer World are you from? Why are you working for the organization from Cazider World? "
Number 03 looked at Sunders and saw that Sunders didn't question Ness' question. "My name is Number 03. You can call me that too."
"What kind of name is that? Don't you have an official one?"
"… All the names I can tell you are fake. Number 03 is my official name. But I can tell you a pseudonym I used for a long time, 'Aqua' Garcia. That's the name I used when I was in the Northern Territory. "
According to the feedback from Word of Truth, Number 03 was telling the truth. She did use Number 03 as her official name, while the others were fake names.
However, from No.03's emotional feedback, compared to using a number as a name, she preferred to be called 'Aqua Mysteries' Garcia.
"Garcia, is it? I'll remember it. Please continue. "Angor chose a pseudonym instead of using Number 03.
Number 03 continued, "The organization behind us isn't from the four Sorcerer Worlds. It's from the Origin World. It's called the Remnant Society. We're not working for the organization from Cazider World. We're just working together. But our cooperation involves too many secrets, so we need to sign an oath. "
Number 03 did not lie. Merely, when she said that the organization behind her was the 'Rose Legacy Society,' she used the 'external name.' This meant that the 'Rose Legacy Society' was not their real name.
"Do you think Sayi can do that? I don't think I've heard of it. "
"I didn't know Mister Phantom knew about the organizations in the Origin World." Number 03 smiled while quickly going through the information she gathered in her mind. According to the information collected by the base, Sunders never went to the Origin World.
"I know a few wizards from the Order Faction."
Number 03 was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Who is it?"
After asking the question, No.03 suddenly realized the difference in status between them. This kind of question was not only abrupt but also impolite.
If Sunders could use this opportunity to kill her, he might even kill her.
With this in mind, Number 03 quickly added, "Remnant Society and the Order Faction are working together. There's no grudge between us. Besides, Remnant Society has people who joined the Order Faction. If you happen to know someone from Remnant Society, Mister Phantom, we might be able to resolve the misunderstanding. "
Number 03 looked up and stole a glance at Sunders, who was standing opposite him.
Sunders' expression was obviously more serious than before. His eyes were still calm, but this calmness made her feel even more afraid.
Sunders humphed coldly. "Only this time. If there's a next time, you don't have to say anything."
Number 03 lowered her head. "I understand."
After a moment of silence, Sunders spoke again in a mocking tone, "You said Remnant Society and the Order Faction are working together. So Remnant Society must be quite powerful to be able to stand on the same level as the Order Faction."
Angor knew that the Order Faction was a super-class union that enjoyed a high status in the Origin World. Even if Sei Legacy Society was a secret organization, it definitely couldn't be compared to the Order Guild. However, from the feedback from the [Truth Word Technique], Number 03 didn't lie, but he definitely exaggerated.
Number 03 looked a little embarrassed. "We're just working together on the outside. We have communication channels in all four worlds, so we can send information about the nearby worlds to the Order Faction."
"Have you heard of him, Cuolo?" Angor didn't comment further on the topic.
Number 03 was taken aback. "Mister Phantom, are you talking about Cuolo Delacore?"
Angor nodded.
"He … he's one of the directors of the Order Faction. I-I've heard of him before, but I've never met him." Number 03 really wanted to ask if the wizard from the Order Faction was Cuolo. However, after what happened just now, she did not dare to ask such a question.
But judging from the context of the conversation, Number 03 believed that the wizard Sunders knew was probably Director Dracul.
Sunders knew a director of the Order Faction! Remnant Society's members were all outer members of the Order Faction, but Sunders was directly related to a director.
This was big news!
However, Number 03 was still doubtful. Why would Director Delacore care about someone as weak as Sunders?
Or maybe Sunders was not close to Delacore at all?
Number 03 could not tell. She wanted to ask, but she did not dare to do so.
"Remnant Society only wants an information channel?" Angor did not dare to ask too much and changed the topic. After all, Angor did not know Cuolo personally. He was just using Cuolo as an excuse. It was enough to intimidate Cuolo.
"Selling information and consulting is just something Remnant Society does on the side. We're more of a research organization. But I can't tell you the core of our research. It's a secret that we can't reveal. "
"Then are the labs you set up in the southern wizarding region part of your core research?"
"Every lab with a serial number has a part of their core research."
"Which means there are some that are not core research. Why don't you tell us what you're doing in the southern wizarding region? "
Number 03 hesitated. "Core research and non-core research are intertwined. I can only tell you that it involves organ transplants and soul fusion."
The name of the research immediately reminded Filo of Night Butterfly's hand, which was soaked in the nutrient solution.
His already suppressed emotions surged again. "I know it's not something good. It's filled with evil and blood. I wonder how many people you've killed and how many organs you've taken."
As soon as Filo finished speaking, Ness almost wanted to facepalm … Even though Number 03's research topic didn't involve any evil or bloodshed, they knew that there was definitely something sinister behind the scenes. But he shouldn't have said it out loud.
Filo's words revealed far too much information.
This guy was really stupid. He went to such lengths for a witch, and he even had the guts to mock me. Ness shook his head.
Number 03 understood what Filo was trying to say. She was not an idiot. She immediately understood why Filo suddenly came here.
He must have found an altar somewhere.
Furthermore, from the intensity of Filo's emotions, it was likely that some of the organs on the altar had come from people he was very familiar with.
This was going to be tricky. Everyone who had their organs taken out was dead.
It was not going to be easy to solve a problem involving dead people.
Number 03 was not in a hurry though. At least she now knew why Brute Cavern was here. There should be a way to solve the problem.
No.03 thought for a moment and said, "Evil and bloodshed are not the subject of our research. Besides, compared to the research topics announced by the southern wizarding region, we're not going too far.
"But I admit that some of our research topics do involve some sensitive topics. If Wizard Filo or Brute Cavern is affected, we're willing to compensate you. "
