Chapter 338 Difficulties
"I almost thought you couldn't come and I had to leave."
Annan waited for more than thirty minutes after the agreed time before he finally arrived at the female mercenary Anna who was covered in injuries.
The smuggling speedboat that came to meet him was very punctual. If Annan hadn't kindly waited a little longer, Anna, who was late, would have been unable to find anyone even if she arrived at the scene.
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Now get on the boat."
Annan hugged Beatrice who was still sleeping and walked quickly to the speedboat.
Looking very embarrassed, Anna said nothing and then followed.
What follows is a silent journey that is no different from the one that came to the border of Solbia, but this time there is one more person in the journey.
However, just one more person will not affect the speed of the modified speedboat specially used for smuggling.
Annan returned relatively quickly this time. Although it still took him most of the day, he arrived at his destination before early morning.
The female mercenary, who had been properly arranged on the speedboat, was the first to get off the boat and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
However, her worries were a bit unnecessary, because this was already a safe area, and it was the territory run by the Nares Gang, which was completely controlled by Roderick.
Careful allies had prepared everything before Annan returned.
The area has been cleared so no one can stray into the area by mistake, and the corresponding vehicles are also on standby.
Annan took the little girl who had just woken up and got into the car with the female mercenary.
More than half an hour later, Annan returned to his home.
"Need a rest?"
Annan told Beatrice to go back to the room, while he and the female mercenary came to the living room.
He felt that the surroundings were a bit too quiet, so he turned on the TV and randomly selected a TV station as background music.
"I'm in good condition, just a minor injury. I just need to eat something and rest."
The female mercenary, who had been silent all the way, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Let me talk about my experience first..."
Annan's somewhat reckless plan was successful.
While he was attracting most of the people's attention, the female mercenary saw the opportunity and sneaked into the pharmaceutical factory, and soon found the secret base of the Witch Project.
Although the female mercenary has only been exposed to the experimental base of the Witch Project once, her past combat experience is very rich. It is not too difficult to find the target she wants in a limited pharmaceutical factory.
The difficulty of this matter is to prevent others from discovering it and to secretly take out the information.
"I got some things back. I didn't have time to look at them on the way, and I don't know if they can be used..."
Anna put down the small black backpack she had been holding tightly.
She opened her backpack and took out stacks of thick paper documents inside.
"There are too many things over there. If I had more time, I really wanted to take everything away. However, those crazy guys from the Witch Project, after they found out that something happened, they just took the whole thing away. The pharmaceutical factories were blown up... they blew themselves up."
"Self-destructed?"
Annan really didn't know such a thing happened.
After all, he left quickly after finishing his own work.
"They blew up the secret underground base together with the entire pharmaceutical factory. It should be an emergency treatment method. Some ignorant workers may have been implicated... I was almost affected."
There were no signs of burns on Anna's body, but she must have encountered some hard battle, otherwise she wouldn't be covered in blood.
I just don't know if it's her own blood or someone else's.
"In summary, things were not smooth. I encountered some traps and was discovered by some people, but in the end I successfully solved them and found what I wanted. Unfortunately, the time was a little short..."
After listening to the female mercenary's summary, Annan didn't ask too many questions. Anyway, things over there were over.
Anna's figure was seen as soon as it was seen. Even if someone guessed her true identity, it didn't matter. They had arrived at a safe place anyway.
For now, it's better to focus on business first.
Annan picked up the thick documents on the table.
"There are a lot of words, and they are basically all in Gram language, and the content, well, I'm afraid it will take a while to digest."
Annan couldn't understand the words on these documents, but these words combined with each other formed a difficult-to-understand content.
He felt that instead of interpreting these documents himself, it would be better to find more professional magic scholars.
"Anna, would you mind having someone else come to check these things?"
"As long as we can find content to help Zooey..."
Things have developed to this point, and Anna no longer cares about hiding any secrets.
As long as you can keep the people you care about alive, everything else is secondary.
"Don't worry, I will find a very professional and tight-spoken magic scholar."
Annan had long thought of a good person who could help him understand these difficult things.
"So, what are you going to do next? Do you want to go back and see Zooey?"
"...will go."
Anna resisted the urge to sigh.
"I have been away for a while, I will definitely go..."
Anna's current appearance is a bit shameful. She only disturbed Annan's house for a while and changed her clothes before leaving.
Zooey still lives in the same safe house, and Anna will not know the way.
"Okay, then..."
After the female mercenary left, Annan dutifully read the pile of documents on the table in the living room.
"These things should be related to the Witch Project. There seems to be some confidential information in it, and it doesn't appear to be encrypted. However, it is too professional, and the correlation between each other is a bit disconnected. It is really difficult to understand."
Annan patiently spent a whole day reading all the documents, then packed up his things and went to the academy in the other world.
"Professor Jiuxiao! Please help!"
Annan clinked the backpack containing thick documents on the desk of the college professor.
The young professor with a gentle temperament who was reading a book looked at Annan angrily.
"What's it this time? By the way, can I refuse?"
"If possible, professor, please don't refuse. I really need your knowledge and your help. Please."
Annan begged sincerely.
He knew that behind the scenes, the professor must have accepted the order from the college council to help him as much as possible.
He won't make requests that are too difficult, at least this time it shouldn't be counted.
"Professor Jiuxiao, it's like this. I have some newly released research materials about the Witch Project. I would like to ask you to help me take a look."
