"Before you all make a decision, would you like to hear the intelligence I have?" Holmes popped out from nowhere and said with a smile.
"Mr. Holmes, you certainly move fast." Jean Stardust asked directly.
"It is urgent intelligence after all, so I rushed over without stopping."
Jean Stardust herself had ridden a motorcycle in a nearly straight line to get here; although she was delayed for a bit, it had only taken about ten minutes.
However, for Holmes, who had claimed to be off investigating something, to suddenly appear at this camp was suspicious in itself.
Yet, facing Jean Stardust's questioning gaze, Holmes remained perfectly composed.
"According to the latest intelligence, Talulah is currently driving Chernobog, preparing to crash it into Lungmen."
As soon as the news came out, the scene erupted in an uproar.
Some cheered, some were worried, and those from Lungmen screamed; in short, the scene was in complete chaos.
Jean Stardust looked speechlessly at the cheerful Holmes; this guy was definitely causing a scene on purpose.
Seeing this, Jean Stardust casually conjured a wind sphere and dispersed it in the middle of the area, instantly sending sand and dust flying, leaving everyone, except for FrostNova who was protected by Jean Stardust, covered in grime.
"*Lungmen profanity*, what are you doing?" The hot-tempered Ch'en immediately drew her sword.
"Naturally, it is to make you all calm down. Everything needs to be carefully examined, for instance, whether Talulah is truly standing on the side of the Infected, or if it is some Ursus army that wants to start a war? What do you say, Mr. Holmes?"
Jean Stardust's goal was to prevent these people from supporting Talulah's actions. Followers of a leader are often very blind; even if they know that this matter is harmful to the Infected, they will still support Talulah. Unless there is a problem with Talulah herself, but the Black Snake incident cannot be explained at all, so she had to use her cooperation with the Third Army as the point of contention.
The proportion of Ursus people in the Reunion Movement is relatively high, so after hearing Jean Stardust's words, they all quieted down, and some members who were good at thinking had already begun to consider the situation that the Infected would face.
"Hahaha, indeed, there is the shadow of the Third Army behind Talulah. Originally, I thought it was friendly funding, but considering the hatred some of its members have for Lungmen, the motive becomes less than pure."
Holmes smiled, but his eyes remained fixed on Jean Stardust. Although Jean Stardust noticed this, she had more important things to attend to at the moment.
She kept looking around, sensing everyone's emotions, but one person's emotional color was the strangest: fear, joy of acquisition, and the desire to escape.
Then she saw one person in the group slowly backing away. "Hey! You!" At Jean Stardust's call-out, this person chose to flee rapidly.
A normal intelligence operative would certainly not make such a choice, but his speed was indeed far beyond that of an ordinary person; it seemed his Originium Arts might be related to speed.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, he could not outrun the wind. With a simple trip caused by her manipulation of elemental power, the man fell to the ground, and Crownslayer reacted immediately, taking him into custody.
It just so happened that among the Infected in Lungmen, there was someone with a truth-telling ability, which was used to confirm that he had been planted by the Ursus army.
However, he did not know any extra intelligence; it only confirmed that Ursus was involved in this incident.
But this alone changed the atmosphere of the entire camp; it was roughly, 'Talulah, you betrayed the Infected class, F*** you.jpg'—Ch'en, who was nearby, was caught in the crossfire.
Those with a bit of insight began to consider the consequences of the collision. Regardless of whether Ursus or Lungmen wins this time, the Infected will be branded as the ones who incited the war between the two countries.
The final conclusion reached was:
"We cannot let the Ursus Empire do whatever it wants." — Crownslayer.
"We must stop Talulah (Sister)." — Ch'en.
"We cannot let the Guerilla Squad become pawns of the Imperial Legion." — Snow Monster Squad.
"Jean Stardust?" — FrostNova.
