The Epilogue A Hidden Crisis
"There are two reasons."
Shellura scratched her hands, stared at the black frame of the screen and said, "The first one, if I'm not mistaken, the client must be from our side of the world." ”
"Oh, why do you think so? Couldn't it be from the side of the mythical system country? After all, the 'Mischievous Fire' was originally also a sacred art association in the country of the mythological system, wouldn't it be more convenient to entrust it like this? The voice of the stereo asked calmly.
"No, it doesn't make sense."
Sherola, shaking her head, said, "After all, if you want to entrust someone else to find the whereabouts of 'that thing', you must know both the origin of that thing and the value of that thing. The mythical system countries can't do it, not to say that they can't know the origin of such a thing, but to take a step back, even if they really knew, to take that kind of thing is at best to them just to cause strife in our side of the world. ”
"But ah, don't you think such a thing is very contradictory? After all, in the process of seizing, the slightest carelessness may cause a dispute between them and you first, isn't this a failure of their attempt to use such things to watch the fire from the other side? This is clearly a matter that outweighs the losses, so that the countries of the mythological system will not be so stupid. ”
"Indeed."
The voice of the stereo affirmed: "So, what about the second reason? ”
"The second reason is actually an extension of the first."
Shellura had a worried expression on her face: "Since the client is from our side of the world, then his intention to take away that kind of thing is worrying. Just as money is just money for the poor, but for the rich, it is a necessary tool for them to achieve their ambitions. ”
The speaker's voice muttered for a moment and then said, "I see what you mean." You mean he's going to use that stuff to do something terrifying, right? ”
"Yes."
Xue Luola's face was even more worried: "It's a pity that the intelligence at this stage alone is not enough to analyze that intention. However, since he has already discovered the location of such a thing, he can only ask your side to guard it more closely. By the way, can you move that thing somewhere else to protect it? ”
"I'm afraid it won't work. We also have our problems, not to mention that if the other party allows the mischievous fire to come and investigate, in order to cause us to panic and make us make a decision to move, then they will inevitably lurk nearby, so that they can ambush us as we move. In this way, it is right in their arms. ”
"You're right...... so until we get any further information, please protect that thing, and we'll help you if necessary."
After the other party said 'um', he cut off the black frame of the call, leaving Xue Lola alone staring at the screen in a daze.

At the same time, somewhere far overseas.
A contracted ship was carrying the Fabouti family in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands, the "self-governing state of America."
The steamer, apart from the Fabuti family, consisted of only a hired captain and a few sailors.
When Fabuti contracted the ship, it was conditional on restricting the range of movement of the captain and sailors, so the only one who could move freely around the large hull was Fabuti.
And at this time.
An anxious voice rang out: "Aisha, Aisha, where are you?" Aisha, where are you? ”
It was Fabhuti's wife, 'Gulit Yiglid'.
At this moment, her face was full of anxiety, and she pushed open the door of the cabin.
Since the door of the cabin was facing the stern part, Gullit, who pushed the door open, saw Fabuti on the phone at a glance.
Fabuti looked at his wife, pressed the microphone part of the mobile phone with his hand, and asked his wife, "What's wrong, Gurit?" What's wrong? ”
"Aisha, she doesn't know where to go."
Gullitt clenched her little hand and said, "Since the end of the duel, her spirit has been very wrong, and she even locked herself in her room after getting on the boat." I was going to wake her up for dinner, but when I got to her room, I found that the door was open inward, and Aisha wasn't inside! She...... Where the hell did she go? If something happens, what will you do with me? ”
"You're concerned about it. Aisha is no longer a child, don't worry about her all the time. ”
Fabuti was speechless and said, "Besides, the ship is so big, she can't jump into the sea, right?" So, she must still be on the boat, it's just that you didn't look for it carefully. ”
"What are you saying irresponsible!"
Gulit glared at Fabuti angrily: "Aisha is my daughter, I, as a mother, worry about her, what's wrong?" Also, what does it mean that it is impossible to jump into the sea, do you say that about your daughter? I'm really. ”
“……”
Fabouti's face trembled.
Money and daughters are the weakness of his wife, but whenever it comes to these two aspects, she will become disowned.
At that moment, he said more and more carefully: "Have you looked for the direction of the bow of the ship?" When I rented the boat before, I saw that she had been staring at the bow of the boat. ”
"I haven't looked for it there."
Gullet's face slackened, but at the end she added: "If you don't find Aisha there, don't blame me for throwing you into the sea to find Aisha, if you can't find it in the sea, just wait to feed the sharks." ”
“……”
While Fabuti was speechless, his wife's figure had disappeared in the direction of the corridor leading to the bow of the boat.
"What's wrong? Why don't you talk all the time? ”
At this moment, this sound came from the earpiece of the mobile phone.
Fabuti hurriedly let go of the hand that was pressing the microphone part of the phone and put the phone back to his face.
He said, "It's nothing, it's just that something happened just now, and it's okay now." ”
"Really?"
The voice of the earpiece continued: "Anyway, this commission is really troublesome to you. ”
Fabuti's eyes flashed: "It's not troublesome, but there is one thing, I would like to ask your opinion." ”
The voice of the earpiece asked, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”
"At the same time that you hired us, you also hired another Sacred Society, right?"
Fabuti said expressionlessly: "And let them lurk near us while we were dueling, and even ambush near that location immediately after I reported to you the exact location of that thing, am I right?" ”
The voice of the earpiece was silent for a while, and Fabuti had no intention of urging, quietly waiting for the other party's answer.
After a few moments, the voice of the receiver finally said, "This is indeed the case." Although you are famous for your 'mischievous fire', after all, you are separated by a world, and there is a saying that doesn't say so? 'Interlaced lines are like mountains', let alone separated by a world so far away. Hiring another Sacred Society is just a means of insurance, and it is not to underestimate you. What's more, the credit relied on is built on results. At that time you hadn't shown that kind of results, so it's normal for me not to trust you. ”
Fabuti smiled coldly: "Oh, that sounds like that. But that's not my guess. ”
"Tell me about it." The voice of the earpiece was unmoved, and said lightly.
"Then you're going to have to listen up."
Fabouti turned and leaned his back against the railing, letting the sea breeze blow his clothes and hair.
"If hiring another Sacred Formation is just a means of insurance, then there is no need to lurk around in the face of a duel between us, even if we are afraid that we will fail, and it is impossible to do so. There's only one reason for this, and that's that after we fail, we'll attack and kill us in case we leak your affairs, right? ”
The voice of the "......" earpiece did not speak, and I don't know if it was acquiescence or something else.
Fabuti didn't care either, and continued: "That's the first point. The second point is that as soon as I report the detailed location to you, they will immediately set off and lurk near that location. lest when you entrust them with commission, you will say: 'If the fire of mischief fails, kill them; But if it succeeds, you immediately go to the place where they report and lay an ambush, and if there is any team that tries to move that thing, you kill them and grab that thing', right? ”
"If you fail, you'll stab them in the back, but if you succeed, in addition to knowing the location, there is also a possibility that the New Metropolis Development Area will move that kind of thing because of the fear that the location will be revealed, so let the people of the Holy Art Society go and lurk. You're really doing too well with this wishful thinking, aren't you? We have always been the only ones who play with others with the fire of mischief, but no one has ever dared to calculate us in this way. You're making too much of a joke, aren't you? Do you think we don't know who you are, so we can't find you to vent our anger? You are underestimating us, Your Excellency, the Master of Satan. ”
"How do you know who I am?" The sound of the earpiece froze.
Despite the phone, Fabuti could still feel a very ominous aura from his phone.
This made him subconsciously burn a strange flame from his whole body, which slightly reduced the discomfort caused by his breath.
"There's nothing surprising about it."
Fabuti changed his joking tone and said: "In our industry, it is impossible to rashly accept the other party's commission without knowing the client's information. But don't be angry, even we have spent a lot of effort to find out that you are the leader of the Satanist Sect, and nothing else can be found. ”
When the other party heard this, his cold tone eased slightly: "It seems that you want to show Xiàn in front of me, you are very good." ”
"Each other, each other. You calculated that we had made a peace with us to secretly investigate your information, so let this matter be over. ”
Fabuti glanced at the blue gleaming sea with his peripheral vision, and continued: "But I'm a little curious about your purpose, as the leader of the Satanic Sect, why did you want to get involved in such a thing? Even though I'm an outsider, I can feel that this matter seems to be very strict. ”
"Why, you only regret accepting my commission until now?" The voice of the microphone mocked.
"Do you regret it? Unfortunately, I told you that regret is never in my dictionary. ”
Fabuti's gaze became a little misty: "I have already decided from the past, even if the world is ruined, it has nothing to do with me, I only care about my family." ”
"Really?"
After a slight pause, the voice of the microphone suddenly said, "The next commission, the price is twice as high as the current one, are you interested?" ”
"You still trust us?" Even Fabuti was a little surprised.
"Didn't I say that? The credibility of reliance is based on results, not to mention that in addition to completing the commission, you have even found some eyebrows in my information, which is enough to show that you are excellent. How about it, do you still have to accept the commission? ”
"Of course." Fabuti said without hesitation.
"Okay, then specific, let's contact next time." As he spoke, the voice hung up, leaving Fabuti alone staring at the phone with flickering eyes and groaning.

"Aisha? Thank goodness I've finally found you. ”
Walking through the corridor, Gullitt breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Aisha staring at the sea with her hands on the railing.
"Mother...... Mother? ”
Hearing Gullet's voice, Aisha spontaneously came back to her senses in a daze, and couldn't help but turn her head to look.
"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? Gurit stepped forward a few steps, keeping her position parallel to Aisha.
"What do you mean?" Aisha lowered her head so that Gurit could not see her expression.
"Silly girl, of course I mean you." Gurlitt said angrily.
"Me? What can I do? Am I fine? Aisha couldn't help but raise her head and shook her arm a few times.
"You, you are a piece of meat that I was born with, how can you deceive me as a mother?"
Gullitt couldn't help but glance at her: "What's more, if it's really okay, you will stay alone in such a place?" And after getting on the boat, he kept himself in his room. ”
"I'm ......, I'm ......, woo~" Aisha whimpered as she spoke.
This made Gullit, who was watching, panic, and she couldn't help but comfort: "Aisha, what's wrong with you?" Why did you cry all of a sudden? Don't cry, isn't there anything you can't say slowly? Mother will listen. Did someone bully you? I really ate the gall of a leopard, even my daughter dared to bully, where is that? I'm going to have to skin him!! ”
Aisha wiped her tears and shook her head and said, "No...... No, no one bullied me. I was just scared of myself. ”
"Afraid of yourself? Why? ”
Gullitt couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Oh, Aisha, you ...... This really makes my mother more and more confused, what the hell is going on? ”
"Woo, in fact, I have found out a long time ago, but at that time, because the opponents were all strangers, I killed them, and I didn't feel anything."
Aisha sniffed and said, "But this time is different, this time the supermaster gave Aisha a help when he couldn't read the bus sign when he came to the New Metropolitan Development Area for the first time." I could tell he was a very kind man. Can...... However, when I faced him, it was as if I had changed into a different person, and even though I had knocked him to the ground, I wanted to continue the attack without mercy, as if it were a matter of course. I...... I'm scared of myself, like I can't control myself. ”
"Aisha......" Gurit didn't know what to say.
Aisha stared at Gurit and asked, "Mother, am I crazy?" Why am I like this? ”
"Of course not."
Greeting Aisha's gaze, Gullitt shook her head and said, "You are doing this because you are trying too hard to protect this family, it is not your fault, nor is it the fault of other people, the fault is that you are in a different position from him." So you don't need to feel guilty about yourself. ”
"Yes...... But ......"
Aisha was about to say something, but was interrupted by Gullit: "Don't be, listen to Mother." ”
As she spoke, Gullet reached out and gently stroked Aisha's head.
Aisha moved her lips and finally said, "But ...... But I always felt like I had to say sorry to him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. ”
"This ......" Looking at Aisha's decisive eyes, Gurit hesitated.
"Mother, please." Aisha's face was pleading.
After a moment's hesitation, Gullet sighed and said, "Oh, well. If you have a mission to be there or near the New Metropolitan Development next time, your mother will allow you to go there. ”
"Thank you, Mother." Aisha then turned from crying to laughter, jumped and ran away.
Gullitt looked at it, and suddenly a question rose in her heart, but she forgot to ask the girl, is the superhero she said male or female?
