Chapter 1879: Theo (What Dream I Forgot Today)
"Woo..............."
Alyssa opened her eyes and stared blankly at the crumbling ceiling in front of her.
How long has it been since then?
Alyssa turned her head slowly and looked around, but at the moment she couldn't even think smoothly. She had been like that since that day, the day she was attacked.
“—————!!”
Severe pain came from Alyssa's right hand, which made her moan involuntarily, and turned her head, only to see that her right hand had completely changed at this moment, it was no longer like a human arm, but more like the limb of some kind of monster.
"Aragami ......... Has it begun? ”
Seeing this, Alyssa also bit her lip, and a sense of powerlessness came from her heart.
The God Eater is not a perfect warrior.
They were injected with oracle cells, giving them superhuman strength and speed, which is why Alyssa was able to pick up a sword heavier than herself with one hand. But on the other hand, this is also a double-edged sword, in fact, the thing that looks like a giant bracelet in the hands of the God Eaters is actually a kind of "suppressor", if this suppressor does not exist, then the God Eater who has been injected with oracle cells will inevitably transform into the form of Aragami, and finally become a new Aragami.
The same is true for Alyssa, who had left the battlefield in search of support in the previous battle, but after this, Alyssa had nightmares she had never imagined.
The same Aragami who had killed her parents reappeared in front of her and led a bunch of Aragami to attack Alyssa.
Although Alyssa tried her best to kill those Aragami, and even injured the giant Aragami led by one blow, forcing the other party to flee, but it was also in this final blow that Alyssa's bracelet was shattered by the other party and lost consciousness as a result.
When she woke up again, it was in this dilapidated house.
I have to go back, I have to tell you about the minister's plans.........
Thinking of this, Alyssa tried to stand up, but her legs had no strength at all, and she trembled involuntarily just by moving slightly.
“……………?”
And at this time, suddenly, Alyssa felt a cold sensation coming from her right hand as if it was being burned by flames, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. She turned her head and looked to the side, where a girl with short white hair and a tattered robe was sitting beside her, looking at her worriedly.
"Sheo ........."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Alyssa exclaimed in a low voice, and the girl blinked curiously and stared at her.
Although unconscious, the girl has been by her side since she woke up, so it can be inferred that she rescued herself. But what gave Alyssa a headache was that the girl in front of her didn't seem to have any ability to interact with people, she didn't even know how to speak, and she couldn't understand what she meant.
Not even a name.
At first, the girl only makes sounds like "ah" and "woo", but gradually, she begins to learn to repeat Alyssa's words like a baby, but because she has no name, Alyssa names her "Theo".
But how did this child survive?
Alyssa felt that this girl was full of mysteries, you must know that this is a wasteland world, it is difficult for a child to survive alone, of course, although it can also be considered that the other party may have lost their parents at a very young age, but if there are parents to raise them, the minimum communication skills should also exist, why is it like a baby.........
But none of that matters.
She must go back, go back and tell everyone about the minister's conspiracy......... But now Alyssa can't move at all, and Theo doesn't understand what Fenrir is at all, and her communication skills are very limited, so it's impossible to ask her to find someone to talk to her. And Alyssa is also worried that if the minister finds out, Theo may be in danger because of this.
Can we only rely on search teams? But Fenrir's men .........
Thinking of this, Alyssa couldn't help but fall into deep despair.
However, in places that Alyssa could not imagine.........
"Didn't you find it over there?"
"No, nothing was found."
"Thanks, please move to another area."
"No problem."
Watching the elated players leave, Fili sighed and looked at the map in front of her with a frown.
"Something is wrong."
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, indeed."
In the face of Fili's words, Mikoto Misaka still looked confused, but Shirai Kuroko nodded as if she understood what Firi was talking about.
According to the descriptions of the people who acted with Miss Alyssa at the time, they were attacked by a considerable number of Aragami at that time, and in this case, Miss Alyssa originally wanted to resist herself and let them escape, but in the end she chose to leave because of the other party's request. With Miss Alyssa's personality, she should immediately return to Fenrir for support. ”
"But so far, Miss Alyssa has been attacked on the road......... Well? ”
At this time, Saten's tears seemed to react, and Shirai Kuroko nodded.
"That's right, if nothing happened to her, then she should have come back as best she could, ten thousand steps back, since we didn't find Miss Alyssa there at the time......... remains, it means that she should be alive. But in this way, there is a contradiction. ”
"Contradiction?"
"Yes, if Miss Alyssa is seriously injured, then she shouldn't be too far away, but if she is not seriously injured, then she should go back to Fenrir as soon as possible, but we've searched around Fenrir so far, but nothing has been found, which is weird."
"That's it."
Firi nodded, agreeing with Kuroko Shirai's words. Hearing this, Zuotian's tears suddenly lit up.
"So, could it be that Alyssa knows that there is someone in Fenrir who is not good for her, so she has to choose to run away? You see, didn't those people also tell us that they suspected that the minister was planning to kill Alyssa? ”
"But in that case, she should go to us first, but so far, neither the stray bus nor Jerney's side has heard any news, and the adventurers have not found any clues."
"So it's better to broaden your search, is that really okay? I think it's a little too much trouble for those adventurers. ”
Hearing this, Fili seemed a little uneasy, to be honest, this time because of their own worries about their friends, so there was no way to give those "adventurers" any reward, in fact, Fili was just holding the idea of trying it at first, but she didn't expect that to her surprise, almost everyone agreed to her request, even if they didn't find it, they didn't mean to be discouraged at all, but hoped that Fili would continue to ask them.
At first, Fili wondered if the other party had any purpose for herself, after all, there were such people in Jerni, but soon Fili found that although those adventurers did seem to like herself, they seemed to be sincere when they wanted to entrust them with their own things, and even occasionally Fili would hear those "adventurers" discuss seriously whether they had found any clues or something, which was not at all like something they would do to please women.
These people are probably too much!
Because Fili and the others can't give any reward at all, these adventurers are basically equivalent to working for the day, so Fili and the others can't understand why the other party is so concerned about this kind of commission that wastes time and energy and basically has no gain.
"But since Sister Xiaohei has said that there is no problem, then it should be no problem."
Zuotian's tears showed calmness.
"It's great that everybody is a good person."
"That's what I said..............."
"Wha, Miss Fili, we've found a clue!"
At this time, suddenly, a group of "adventurers" rushed in and greeted everyone happily. The girls are also used to this, although these adventurers are very friendly, but they don't seem to care much about etiquette, and they face themselves differently than ordinary people......... All in all, should it be considered a characteristic unique to people from another world?
"What clue? Have you found Miss Alyssa? ”
Hearing this, Zuotian Tears hurriedly asked, and one of the players in the lead shook his head.
"No, no, but I think it has something to do with Miss Alyssa's disappearance."
"Oh? Is it? ”
"Yes, yes."
The adventurer also glanced at his companion before speaking.
"Didn't we say that the minister must have framed Miss Alyssa for some kind of conspiracy? So we infiltrated the colony and went to find out if there were any clues.........
"Uh........."
Hearing this, the girls all showed slightly subtle expressions, in fact, it was not the first time they had encountered this kind of thing. While these otherworldly adventurers are friendly and helpful, they are also quite self-centered at times, basically doing whatever comes to their minds, without thinking about the consequences.
Like now, what the girls can't understand is that almost all the "adventurers" seem to agree that Minister Kalian is the culprit behind the scenes, and then desperately dig up all kinds of black history and evidence, as if no one doubts it at all. This makes the girls really ......... I don't know what to say.
Sneaking into a mobile city to investigate like this is strictly speaking, it's a crime!
"Then we followed the minister, and we found a secret passage that connected to a very far place, and it was quite disgusting!"
"Pretty ........."
“……… Disgusting? ”
In the face of this unexpected adjective, the girls looked at each other, you want to say quite horrible or quite cruel, they can still have some ideas, but what is the matter with being quite disgusting?
"We found that the passage was a space, and it was full of flesh and blood vessels, and it looked like it was going to be a scene from a B-movie horror movie anyway........."
"yes, yes, there's a huge monster in there, but at that time we were found by that man and then died."
Dead back.........
Hearing this, the girls didn't know what to say, they couldn't understand what it meant, but at least what the other party did, they knew.
"How? I think there must be some conspiracy on that minister, so we might as well go and defeat him now! ”
"This ........."
Looking at the sparkling eyes of the adventurer in front of her, Fili glanced at the others in embarrassment, and then shook her head.
"I'm sorry, but these clues aren't enough at the moment, and to be honest, we don't know much about the legacy of the God Eater, after all, we are not from Fenrir, and if we want to know what happened, I'm afraid we need to find Miss Alyssa........."
Speaking of this, Fili was also relieved in her heart, she knew very well that there were many of these adventurers who were much stronger than herself, but what puzzled Fili was that these adventurers were obviously much stronger than herself and others, but they seemed to have to wait for her orders before acting.
It stands to reason that if these adventurers wanted to attack Fenrir, they had no position to stop it. But what is surprising is that it seems that all the adventurers regard them as leaders instead, and ask them at every turn if they want to attack Fenrir directly, and after being refused, they are not discouraged or go directly to themselves, but continue to do other tasks.
"In other words, people who know what's going on inside, I know!"
Hearing this, the adventurer nodded vigorously, and then walked out directly with the others, leaving Fili standing still.
"I just ......... Didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, right? ”
"This............ I don't know ......... either."
I don't know why, at this moment, looking at the backs of those adventurers who are far away, the girls have some bad premonitions in their hearts.
