Chapter 578 "Handover" After a while, Chanem couldn't help himself and looked at Nolfi and said: "Do you have any secret collaborators?" Nolfi nodded gently and said: "Have." Both Bartner and Chanem had expected this answer, but it did not stop the latter from being delighted: "who is it?" Nolfi struggled for a moment and said: "Yes, it's Juan Oro!" Juan Oro? The president of the Fisheries Guild? Butner was shocked. The same is true for Chanem.
Did he become the boss after being undercover? He complained and asked: "Are you sure it's Juan Oro?" While asking Juan Oro to conduct a preliminary investigation into who had problems among the core members of the Fisheries Guild, Lumian, who had already grasped the true purpose of the "Mother Earth" Church, also asked Noelia of the Order of the Abundant to provide similar information, including the president Juan Oro. According to official data, Juan Oro has always been in good health. He has never been seriously ill or injured, and he has never shown any symptoms of complete lizard-like loss of control. In other words, he should not have been possessed by the time traveler "Ultraman". Of course, we cannot make a definite judgment based on this point alone. After all, when the original owners of many members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society" encountered accidents, there were no other people around. But Juan Oro's character has not changed significantly over the years. As he grows older, he becomes more and more stubborn and more inclined to return to the sea. More importantly, if Juan Oro is "Ultraman", then many of the actions on "April Fools' Day" to disrupt the sea prayer ceremony would seem unnecessary and could have been simpler and more covert. Taking several factors into consideration, Chanem had preliminarily determined that Juan Oro was not a core member of "April Fools' Day". Nolfi pursed his lips and said: "It was him. I met him half a year ago in Rayak Harbor." Layak is a port in the Reston Province of the Republic of Intis, located north of the Daliège Mountains. "You've seen it?" Chanem blurted out, "Your eyes can deceive you. What you see is not necessarily true." He couldn't control his desire to talk and continued: "Just like now, the me you see is not the same as the actual me. The difference is quite big." "You mean, the Juan Oro I saw was fake?" Nolfi was obviously a little unconvinced. "But, but he also showed the power to control the waves!" Chanem smiled: "Most of the members of the Fisheries Guild can do something similar. What if one of them pretends to be Juan Oro?" "But, but they are too similar..." Nolfi fell into self-doubt. Chanem said leisurely: "According to the intelligence we have gathered, Juan Oro has not left Santa Puerto for nearly ten years. "He is the president of the Fisheries Association and he goes to the association every day to sit down."
This was used to convince Nolfi, but it was not absolute evidence, because if Juan Oro was "Ultraman", he could ask the "crazy woman" to take him to Port Layac and back, which would not take more than two hours. In that case, almost no one would notice that he had been missing for a period of time. Nolfi remained silent subconsciously, but couldn't help whispering: "Then, who could that be?" "You ask me, who should I ask?" Chanem said what he was complaining about. He changed the subject somewhat awkwardly: "What kind of cooperation does the fake Juan Oro want to reach with you? Do you have any way to destroy the palace under the sea and completely end the sea prayer ceremony?" Nolfi's body trembled, as if fighting against an instinctive impulse. After a few seconds, she answered with great difficulty: "He will help me, help me cover up my tracks, ignore my existence, and let me take a boat and enter the sea sacrifice site before the ship of the 'Governor of the Sea' and hide. "Then, when the 'Governor of the Sea' throws out the 'Sea Queen's Ring' and recites the words of marriage, chant a few words. "That passage was taught to me by my mother. It came from the deep resonance she felt with the palace when she accepted the gift from the sea. It, it activated a self-destruction program in the palace." Nolfi spoke more and more fluently, and it was obvious that he had given up the confrontation. "Self-destruct program? Are you sure? Do you understand that language that came from nowhere?" Chanem looked incredulous. "That's what my mother told me." Nolfi said he didn't understand the language of that sentence either. Chanem asked: "What language did your mother know?" "She doesn't understand either, but she knows what that means, you know, a kind of communication on the soul level." Nolfi tried hard to defend his mother. "It's not impossible to deceive people when communicating on the soul level. Besides, it's always easier to deceive illiterate people." Chanem once again expressed his inner complaints. He frowned and asked: "Did the fake Juan Oro tell you that last year's sea prayer ceremony failed?" "No, otherwise I wouldn't rent a boat in Santa Port." Nolfi had been very upset about this matter before. If she had known from the beginning that last year's sea-praying ceremony had failed, she would have definitely guessed that this year Santa Port would be on high alert in all aspects and would certainly pay attention to those who tried to rent a boat to go out to sea. Chanem showed a puzzled expression: "Isn't the fake Juan Oro waiting for you to be caught by Lato Giallo..." Half a year ago, neither April Fools nor other people with ulterior motives in Santa Port could have predicted that Lumian would come here to investigate the sea prayer ceremony. In other words, Nolfi's original role was definitely not to lure Lumian into the trap. Maybe it was really part of April Fools' original plan until they changed their minds and planned to use the "Great Adventurer's" investigation. Under such an arrangement, letting Nolfi be captured by Lato Giallo should obviously not be a low-level loophole in the "April Fool's Day" plan, unless this is what they wanted. "The purpose of throwing Norfi out here is to confuse the people in the Fisheries Guild, to make other members suspect Juan Oro, to create a rift between them and to make it impossible for them to work together well? But this trick of instigation is not very clever... "In response to the attention of the 'Mother Earth' Church on this year's sea prayer ceremony, should we guide them towards Norfi? "Or, or..." Franka, who was pretending to be Chanem, had a guess: "Or maybe, Lato Giallo is a member of 'April Fools'!
"As soon as Norfi arrived at Santa Port and tried to rent a boat, he was captured by him. This was both a reflection of Lato Giallo's absolute control over this 'collaborator' and a corresponding protection... When the sea prayer ceremony was about to begin, he pretended to relax his guard, allowing Norfi to successfully escape and get the boat?" After making this guess, the more Franca thought about Lato Giallo, the more she felt that there was something wrong with him: Whether it is the information provided by the "Knight of the Sword" or the official information, one piece of information is clearly recorded: Lato Giaro started sleeping in separate rooms from his wife many years ago! For the time travelers, after taking over the original owner's body, the most worrying thing is that the people around them will discover that there is something wrong with them from various details. Among the people around them, the ones most likely to expose their disguise are, first, their parents with whom they have a deep affection, and second, their spouse with whom they sleep in the same bed. The latter in particular knows many habits of getting along that others don't know. In this case, finding an excuse to sleep in separate rooms is obviously a way for the time travelers to protect themselves. When she saw this information before, Franca had a moment of doubt, but she quickly dismissed the corresponding speculation. First, it was not too strange for a middle-aged man and his wife to sleep in separate rooms. Rato Giaro was not the only member of the Fisheries Guild who did this. Second, Rato Giaro was once forcibly controlled by the "Knight of the Sword" and Lumian and fed a truth serum, and the subsequent questions and answers did not reveal any trace of connection with "April Fools' Day" - he didn't even show an expression of trying to hold back a smile when he mentioned the words about marrying the sea! But what if Lato Giaro, who took the initiative to pass on Nolfi's information, had been preparing for the great adventurer to come to him in advance and concealed some of his memories through means such as "hypnosis"? The essence of truth serum is to greatly enhance the desire to talk, and things that the user is not clear about or does not understand in his or her self-cognition will not be told. The question now is, where can Lato Giallo find extraordinary people or items with similar abilities through the "April Fools' Day" channel? Franka, who increasingly felt that Lato Giallo was "Ultraman", remembered one more thing: The incoming "Governor of the Sea" Simon is a member of the Giallo family's branch! Previously, Juan Oro had, based on her suggestion, conducted blood tests on everyone on board except Lumian, in order to confirm whether they belonged to a certain family and to see if there were any outsiders impersonating them. What if, what if Simon Giaro is Lato Giaro in disguise? That method would only confirm his identity! ………… On the colorful gift boat that was falling to the bottom of the sea as if being crushed by a huge rock. Simon Giaro, who was standing at the bow, seemed to be frozen in place, with a look of panic and confusion on his face. But the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. At this moment, he recalled last night's "Governor of the Sea" handover ceremony: Simon Giallo, wearing a neat blue suit, walked into the hall and saw the former "Governor of the Sea" Miguel, wearing a retro white robe, looking at him. He followed the predetermined process and said the predetermined words: "The sea is in your hands." "It's my honor." Simon Giallo answered solemnly and walked slowly towards the other party. Miguel stretched out his right hand, and Simon Giaro did the same and shook hands with him, which represented the resignation of the former "Governor of the Sea" and the preparation of the current "Governor of the Sea". After shaking hands, the two passed each other and looked in different directions, with the corners of their mouths curled up almost imperceptibly at the same time. Under the gaze of countless statues around them, one of them continued to move forward while the other left the hall. (End of this chapter)
