Chapter 935: Snow-Haired Beauty
Chapter 935: Snow-Haired Beauty
"Has Oliviah gone to the Gemini Realm to settle the matter from back then?"
After listening intently to Lyon's analysis and noticing the gradual whitening of his hair, the expression on Taurus Director's face turned solemn, and he furrowed his brows, saying, "She is indeed capable of doing that... How long has Oliviah been gone?"
"If she left immediately after I departed from her office, it's been almost two days now."
Having answered with his own estimation of the time, Lyon, realizing that finding her on his own would be difficult, sought help from Taurus Director, asking with some concern, "Your Highness, with your understanding of the Commissioner, what do you think she will do after arriving in the Gemini Realm?"
"Speaking of her..."
Taurus Director paused for a moment, then replied with some uncertainty, "She should first go to Lily City for a drink of Sherry, have some white-veined cheese and snow puffs, wander around the bustling areas of the street, pay a visit to the palace to see those nominal relatives, argue and pick a few fights, snatch some money, and then find a place to sleep."
"?"
"Really..."
Seeing Lyon's disbelieving expression, Taurus Director sighed, "At least, that's how I understand Oliviah. When you met her, she had already been stationed at the Twelve Nests for a long time, rarely taking on missions. And when she did go on missions, this was the routine she followed in every place."
"She would first indulge in local delicacies and shopping, spending all her money. Then, because of her stunning beauty or some other reason, she would get into conflicts with others, snatching money from them to continue her sightseeing and eating. When she got tired, she would find a place to sleep, and usually wouldn't wake up until noon the next day..."
Lyon couldn't help but twitch his mouth at the description of the Commissioner's relaxed state. After hearing Taurus Director's account, he stared at him speechlessly and asked, "What about the missions? If she doesn't even conduct investigations, how did she complete all those missions?"
"That very routine of hers was already part of her investigation."
"?"
As Lyon's expression showed confusion, Taurus Director explained with a peculiar look, "On the first day, while she's eating, drinking, and shopping, she can gather intelligence related to the mission. And when she causes trouble, fights, and snatches money, the mission target will definitely notice her."
"If the mission target is not a simple disaster but a sentient being with wisdom and a sense of crisis, it will actively seek her out on the second day to resolve the issue, only to be captured by her."
"If the target senses danger and refrains from approaching, she will cause a bigger disturbance, and if that doesn't work, she'll create an even bigger fuss, until she directly confronts the target."
"..."
In other words, she relies purely on luck and brute force? This sounds like a protagonist's halo; does the Commissioner possess some kind of luck-related anomaly?
"Blood-Haired Beauty is the nickname she received after annihilating the Eastern Carleva Kingdom with the power of the Thirteen Nests. She didn't have this nickname before that."
Sensing Lyon's confusion, Taurus Director reminisced about the past, a hint of sigh in his voice, "Before that incident, Oliviah's most recognized nickname was Lady of Fortune. Because of her iconic silver-white long hair, some also called her Snow-Haired Beauty. But after the incident with the Ophiuchus Bureau, she gradually became known as Blood-Haired Beauty."
Snow-Haired Beauty... Silver-white hair...
Upon hearing this, Lyon's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked, "So, the Commissioner is..."
"She hails from the Western Carleva Kingdom, a member of the royal extended family, a descendant of the White-Haired People. Before assuming the position in the Virgo Bureau due to her achievements, she was from the Western Carleva Kingdom."
"After briefly explaining the Red-Haired Commissioner's past credentials, Director Taurus sighed in exasperation and said, 'Over the years, to ensure the absolute safety of the Twelve Nests, she has kept both the Bloodhair Slayer and the Thirty-Two Sovereigns in an activated state. These two extraordinary abnormalities have occupied the majority of her power, rendering the original abnormalities almost unusable.'
'Currently, she has temporarily relinquished ownership of the Bloodhair Slayer, and without bearing the burden of this abnormality's consumption, she has regained her innate good fortune, despite losing her most powerful offensive capabilities.'
'Back when she just crossed the threshold of a true god, her uncanny good luck was already hard to manage. With her current level approaching 70 Lyon points, her innate good fortune is almost like a half-wish fulfillment.'
'Considering the Thirty-Two Sovereigns I crafted for her, which can block all forms of detection, tracking, and pursuit, if she truly wants to hide, aside from the Pisces secret technique that specializes in finding people, basically no one can locate her.'
'...'
'So, you have no solution either?'
'It's not that I don't have a method, but my methods are not applicable to her.'
Seeing Lyon's disappointed expression with a hint of disdain, Director Taurus helplessly explained, 'Oliviah is not an enemy. You can't expect me to directly take her life, ignite her soul using the items she left behind, or even join forces with the other three directors, shortening our lives by several years, and force her to appear using the Directive List, can you?'
'No mistake, one shot, one inner, one content, one in one six one nine one book, one look!'
'Alright...'
Understanding the complexity of dealing with their own commissioner, Lyon knew that Director Taurus truly had no solution, so he proactively changed the topic to another matter that concerned him.
'What about my hair then?'
Pointing to his head, Lyon asked, 'Although I don't feel any impact, my brother's hair started changing color, and he's been running a low-grade fever ever since. Many others are facing similar issues.'
'According to what I know, black-haired people's hair turns white, white-haired people's hair turns black, and for those with other hair colors, their hair changes to the opposite of their ancestral bloodline, accompanied by long-term low-grade fevers and mild dizziness, as if...'
'...as if their bloodlines are being exchanged.'
After speaking on Lyon's behalf, Director Taurus rubbed his temples and said worriedly, 'My first reaction is the same as yours. But logically, this should be impossible.'
'Why is it impossible?'
'Because of the numbers.'
Looking at Lyon's white hair, Director Taurus explained with a sigh, 'During the Snake Handler Bureau incident, Oliviah was authorized to mobilize the Thirteen Nests, completely annihilating the Eastern Carleva Kingdom, and... sending off 120 million of its citizens. Before that, the populations of the two kingdoms were roughly equal.'
'So now, there are significantly fewer black-haired humans with Eastern Carleva blood compared to white-haired humans with Western Carleva blood, a difference of over 120 million. Including the surviving population, the population ratio should be close to 100 to 1.'
'If a bloodline exchange is truly occurring, the Eastern Carleva bloodline should be diluted countless times. The number of white-haired people turning black should be a hundredth of the black-haired people turning white, not this almost one-to-one conversion ratio.'
