Chapter 461 Spy Game
Half an hour later
Constance's door opened again. In order not to attract attention, the people walked out in groups of three or four. This process took five or six minutes. Finally, Constance came out.
During this time, Howard and Christina were leaning on the railing outside the door waiting for her.
Howard didn't attend Constance's meeting, which didn't make any sense, and it wasn't like he could go out there and help with the fight himself.
However, he did suggest that Christina change into the same white uniform and act as a thug. This girl is a genuine 40k cyborg who can fight her way in and out of the rebels even in high heels. Howard is very sure that if a real fight breaks out, Christina can defeat all the opponents by herself without any weapons.
But this suggestion was also opposed by Constance, who believed that asking for foreign aid was unfair.
Just let them play by themselves. Standing there might affect their performance.
"How is it?" Howard asked to show his concern after seeing Constance come out.
"The day after tomorrow night, when the food is distributed, we'll go get him," Constance said, tossing another candy into her mouth. "We've all planned it out. We won't kill him, of course, but he'll definitely get some skin on. We have to make sure they understand we're not to be trifled with."
As long as conditions allow, Constance will never let go of candy. Perhaps this is not because she likes candy, but because she is dependent on alcohol or nicotine, and she needs to keep eating candy to control her smoking or drinking addiction.
"What about you?" After briefly explaining her plans, Constance turned to Howard and asked, "Have you come up with any ideas?"
Howard: "After you come here, can you communicate with the outside world?"
Constance: "What do you mean by the outside world? Somewhere outside the Mackerel? Theoretically, it's possible."
Howard: "Explain it clearly."
Constance: "After we were captured and brought aboard from our home planet, all our communication equipment was confiscated. We went through several tests here. Some of us had our nails removed and our tattoos washed off, completely eliminating any possibility of us communicating with the outside world... But if we really had something important to report, we could theoretically go to someone like you in blue."
"That is to say, if there really are enemies among the people on the Deep Blue Universe, they would have no chance to communicate with their superiors after coming here." Howard concluded.
"That's probably the case. After all, we've only been here for two days including today. And if I were a traitor, I would definitely be thinking about hiding myself first," Constance said.
"Assuming spies truly exist among us, given the current situation, several questions arise," Constance said. "First, do these spies still possess the ability and means to proactively contact their superiors? Second, are their superiors still willing to proactively contact them... Lord Howard, so many people have impersonated you before, yet you still appeared before me unharmed. So their plan must have failed, right?"
Howard nodded.
"Then we might be facing the worst possible situation," Constance said. "That is, these spies are unable to contact their superiors, and their superiors, having failed in their previous plan, are currently too afraid to use these spies again."
Constance spread her hands and said, "Then we're completely blind. Spies don't tattoo 'I'm a Spy' on their bodies, so we can only identify them by their actions. But if they don't take any action and are just trying to hide their identity, then we're just blindly guessing."
Christina was stunned by Constance's analysis. After Constance finished speaking, Christina looked at Constance with respect and said, "That's amazing... What did you do before?"
"It's too painful to look back on, not worth mentioning." Constance waved her hand and passed over the question. "Maybe later. If there's another chance, I can talk to you about it, but now is obviously not the time to discuss this."
"The superiors of these spies should still take the initiative to contact them." Howard said suddenly.
"What's the reason?" Constance threw another candy into her mouth.
"Lia Weide's actions," Howard said, "Lia Weide decided to eliminate all of you. If I were the superior of these spies, would I suspect it was because these spies knew some secret that Liia Weide was unwilling to reveal?"
Constance: "What's this? Who is he? Where did he come from?"
Howard: "She's the current head of the Helvetic family. She was the one who picked me out from among the imitators, and she was the one who ordered the elimination of all of you... But then she promised me that I didn't have to find all the traitors. I only needed to find a few and give her a reason not to eliminate you, and she would let you go."
"They're trying to make things difficult for you," said Constant.
Howard: "I don't care."
"If you really don't care, then why are you here?" Constant said, "I guess you didn't come here to do this job directly because this guy named So-and-so assigned it to you. You asked for it on your own initiative."
Howard: "That's getting off topic."
"Alright, alright!" Constance returned to the previous question. "Your assumption is too idealistic. You can't provide any evidence to support your idea. If everything is based on 'possible' speculation, then there are too many possibilities. Perhaps the spy's superiors will think that...something...something Wade..."
"Lia Weide." Howard repeated Lia Weide's name and added, "She is also..."
At this point, he noticed Christina's expression, and after confirming that there was no connection, he said, "She is also Christina's mother."
"Huh?" Constance blinked, then suddenly bent down and stared at Christina and said, "Little sister, so you are the daughter of such a big merchant family?!"
"I'm just my mother's most insignificant daughter..." Christina lowered her head, her face flushed again. "Please stop teasing me."
"Okay, okay, let's get back to the point," Constance said. "Your idea is too idealistic. If I were the superior of these spies, I could also understand Lady Liavide's behavior as her unwillingness to make matters worse. If she doesn't pursue the matter, I'll give up my spy, and both sides will take a step back. That makes sense, but it conflicts with your assumption."
"I have two pieces of evidence," Howard said. "If your assumption is correct, then Lady Lia Weide wouldn't have agreed to let me take on this spy investigation. Also, if the superiors of these spies didn't have the courage to contact the spies here, then why did they plant spies among these people in the first place?"
Because Howard knew more, perhaps even more than Lia Weide thought he knew, which was what Hai Weian said, that these seeds would eventually be "reset", and at that time, all spies and non-spies would be initialized.
"Besides that, the most important point," Howard said, "is that we have no choice. We can only act based on this premise. If you follow your worst-case scenario, then we have no choice but to find a scapegoat."
After thinking for two seconds, Constance smiled and said, "You're right. Based on this premise, do you have any ideas?"
Howard: "If you want to make the hiding snakes move, you have to come up with something that will make them very interested. I just happen to have such a thing."
