"Miko?"
Hearing this, the surprise on Ivan's face disappeared, but he soon believed what she said.
After all, if there was nothing special about Shia, those Armed Cultists would take her away without paying any price for tutoring.
Later.
Ivan asked with a smile on his face again, "Xia, can you prove that you are really a witch? Such as witchcraft, magic and divination."
"Yeah." Siya nodded slightly and said, "I know some magic, such as this."
Then she raised her left hand, pointed her palm towards the wall, and whispered, "Incendio (Incendio)."
"Huh~-!"
As Shia said something similar to Spanish, a blazing fire formed in her palm, instantly burning the wall black.
However, the flame did not last long and went out after a few seconds.
Seeing this, Ivan couldn't help but sigh, "Huh? This is my first time doing magic.
By the way, since you know this kind of magic, why didn't you use magic to fight back when those people wanted to catch you?"
"This..." Sia, who was still a little complacent at first, her smile faltered and she explained slightly awkwardly:
"Every time I cast magic, I need a corresponding spell. I was too scared when I was in the church, so..."
"So you forgot the spell, right?" Ivan said.
"Well..."
"Haha." Ivan just smiled and said, "You are very safe at Umbrella's military base.
Even if you forget all the magic spells, those people won't be able to hurt you anymore, just don't worry."
"Yeah!"
"Okay." Ivan waved his hand lightly and continued to ask:
"So Shia, can you tell me how you joined this church? And do you know where the headquarters of this church is?"
"Join?" Siya thought for a moment.
Then he looked a little gloomy and said, "I have lived in the church since I was a child. Cult Leader doesn't let me contact any outsiders, and doesn't let me play...
He has always said that my mission in the world is to sacrifice to God of Light when I reach adulthood, and then let God's light shine on the earth.
Only Deacon Barret, who taught me mantras and knowledge, kept me optimistic and never gave up hope.
But he..."
At this point, Shia couldn't help sobbing.
After seeing this scene, Ivan didn't know what to do. He could only reach out to help her wipe away her tears and comforted her:
"I believe Deacon Barret and those monks, if they know that you can be protected by us in heaven, they will definitely hope that you can live happily, right?"
"Um... right..."
Observation room.
"I'm going..." William crossed his arms and crossed his chest. After seeing his son flirting with girls with ease, he touched Halsey with his body.
He smiled and said, "Catherine, I think if Andre sees this scene in front of him, he will definitely say that Russell Family has hope for prosperity, hahaha."
"..." But Halsey did not respond to William's joke.
She frowned slightly, crossed her arms across her chest, and stared at Shia in Interrogation Room.
He asked in a deep voice, "William, it has been at least nine years since Umbrella was established, but she is the first... abnormal phenomenon that we discovered that can use magic."
"Huh?"
After seeing his wife's expression, William also put away his smile and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"William, if spells can release magic, then why are the elites of Star of Light Church... a group of soldiers who have passed Body Modification and are equipped with High-tech Weapons?
Shouldn't it be a magician?" Halsey raised his head and looked at William.
"Listening to what you said, it's true. Why isn't he a magician?" William also nodded in agreement.
At this time, Halsey analyzed. "It's not surprising that anomalies can produce magic, but what I'm curious about is Star of Light Church, why did she need to say a spell to release the magic?
I think...
Star of Light Church In doing so, it is actually constraining her imagination."
"Imagination?" William looked confused.
But he quickly reacted and said, "Could it be that this girl named Shia doesn't know magic, but she thinks she only has magic."
"Well, almost." Halsey did not deny it.
And continued to explain, "If there is magic when you say a spell, then the company would have been exposed to or contained similar anomalies long ago in the nine years since its establishment.
However, for the specific situation, we need to wait until we eradicate Star of Light Church and obtain the information they have before we can truly understand the true face of this girl."
"Ah, yes." William agreed.
"And..." Halsey looked at Ivan and Shia thoughtfully, and William said quietly, "We must not let her get too excited.
I think she doesn't seem to be wary of Ivan, so let Ivan take care of her for the time being."
"Hey..." Hearing Halsey's words, William said with eyes like a dead fish:
"Are you cheating on your son? It must be..."
"What a trap." Halsey rolled his eyes at William and said, "Ivan now has the ability to suppress a group of elite soldiers, and a little girl is not a problem.
What's more, Ivan might be able to transform this girl into Umbrella's exclusive power."
"That's... okay."
And Ivan in Interrogation Room didn't know what his parents were discussing in the observation room.
After he coaxed Shia, who was older than him, to calm down, Ivan sat back in his seat and asked patiently:
"Now let's talk about where you escaped from. Do you know the specific name of the place? Or is there any landmark building or something like that?"
"I don't know the name of the place..." Siya shook her head, but she said with bright eyes:
"But I know that I grew up living in a very big castle, surrounded by woods and only cute squirrels and birds.
Also, I remember that Deacon Barret and other monks took me away on a speedboat."
"Really, okay, I understand."
After Ivan obtained the useful information, he stood up and prepared to turn around and leave Interrogation Room.
"Wait a minute!" When Shia saw that Ivan was leaving, she quickly stood up and ran behind Ivan.
He reached out and gently pulled the corner of Ivan's clothes and whispered, "Um... can you please stay away? Those people (researchers) have expressionless faces. I'm a little... scared."
"This..." Ivan turned to look at Xia, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, thinking about how to politely refuse.
Even if Shia cooperates again, she is still an anomaly to the company, and everything needs orders from her father.
"Click-." At this moment, Interrogation Room's door was opened.
The person standing outside the door was none other than William, and he ordered his son, "Ivan, this child will be left to your protection."
