Chapter 168: The Afterhand
Last night's heavy snowfall never stopped, and the snow and ice that covered the mountains turned the mountains into a black and white picture.
A man in black stood silently beside a tree, with a pony panting white mist tethered to his side, and a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes made it impossible to tell whether he was resting or contemplative.
It wasn't until a big sword with a heavy face appeared and approached him on the ankle-deep snow in the forest that the black-clothed man tilted his head slightly, and greeted him helplessly and happily.
"I'm glad to see you alive, Lavertea, it seems that people like us who do behind-the-scenes work are more likely to survive."
"I just escaped by virtue of the chaos." Lavertira replied in a cold debriefing tone.
The man in black, Lulu, didn't mind this coldness either, and said in a low voice: "So, you didn't forget to do that thing, right?" ”
"Of course, I haven't forgotten that although they can't have a deeper impact because of time constraints, they will be more inclined to do what the organization wants them to do."
"Yes, well done." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Lulu's mouth: "This will be a grind for them, if they can successfully block the next few awakened people who go south, the organization will have more time to prepare, and the mistakes they made will be forgiven." ”
"Wait," Laphtila frowned, "are there really only a few Awoken?" There was something wrong with them. ”
Laphthera remembered what Miria had told her, they had been cornered.
"Probably, those awakened people are gathered together, Monica has not grown up yet, and she can't tell the specific number at all, and the current 'eye' has a more important task...... And the ordinary people who came close were all discovered by them, and the organization lost a lot of manpower because of this. ”
"How many Awoken will there be?" Raverti stepped forward, her eyes not showing the slightest emotion, only coldness.
"It's really not your character to ask such a question...... However, about eleven," the smile that had been hanging on Luru's lips slowly faded, but his tone was still relaxed, "Don't forget that those warriors who suddenly appeared made the organization arrange in Pieta Town a lot more powerful, just looking at the combat power should have a chance of winning, and besides, what does their life and death have to do with you?" ”
"You've been specially trained by the organization to be a secret weapon against 'disobedient' fighters. Although it is rude to say this, it seems that the tasks you receive are generally full of the bloody smell of warriors. ”
The words that came out of the smiling mouth made Laphthella's heart cold, and her head, which had been occupied by all kinds of thoughts since last night, suddenly sobered up a little.
“…… What's the matter with the Awoken? Because you found out that it was it, you didn't hesitate to run away, didn't you? She immediately changed the subject.
Lulu raised his hand and pinched the brim of his hat, and replied in a low voice: "Well, it was really unexpected that she would appear in the town of Pieta, her name is Annabelle, and in my eyes she is simply a miraculous existence." ”
"Annabelle...... Why is she a miracle? ”
Lulu lowered his head slightly, as if immersed in memories, and his mouth opened and closed: "When she was a warrior, her strength suddenly skyrocketed, and at the same time, she had both powerful attacks and super recovery, and after awakening, her strength was unreasonably strong, and she once killed three male awakened people alone...... The most unbelievable thing is that I just got the news that not long ago there was an abyss-level battle somewhere in the central land near the east, and from the traces of the battle, it was found that the two sides of the battle were suspected to be Annabelle and the West Abyss Liv Road, and all the traces of the battle showed that the final defeat was actually the West Abyss. ”
"It's incredible, she has been a lower warrior for more than two years, but now she is standing at the apex of the Awakened, and even the big names in the organization have decided to increase her danger level to the level of infinitely close to the Abyssal One after discussion."
The information revealed by Lulu is incredible, and the most unacceptable thing is that Annabelle has defeated the West Abyss in some way and means!
Laphthera was a little sneering for a moment, and said, "Well, then, you have a reason to run away as soon as you find her." ”
It's just that I don't know if the few people who were left behind in the town of Pieta will be able to get out in the end.
For some reason, after thinking for a while, a figure suddenly flashed in Lavertea's mind, the ordinary person who was amazingly good, but chose to stand on the side of the Awakened.
Lulu looked at Ravertila's somewhat distracted expression, and quietly showed a satisfied smile, the information he said was deliberately concealed and wrong, but it was enough to fool the soldier who spent most of his time on standby at Starff's headquarters. Laphtira, who has special talents and has undergone special training, and is ultimately used against warriors, is obviously more valuable than the "eye", after all, one is to monitor, and the other is to control...... It's just that I didn't expect her to really get out safely.
Then, the two of them, each with their own thoughts, continued to wait by the tree for a long time, but no one followed the secret marks left along the way.
I waited until the early morning of the third day, but there was still no one.
In the end, with a deep sigh from Lulu, the two finally chose to give up, and although they didn't believe that Lafana would not be able to escape, Lulu still took Laphtila and turned east, returning directly to Stuff, where the organization's headquarters were located. There are no "eyes" around, and there are no strong enough warriors, so the task of supervising the battle will naturally fail.
Because it was an improvised team and tasked with ensuring that the other fighters fought to the death, Lavertera didn't have much of a friendship with her teammates and didn't have much to worry about them not returning. Of course, this is also because she saw Monica, Judith and Jyoty before leaving, they were just captured, and they didn't seem to be in danger of their lives.
……
It was as if consciousness had finally surfaced from the depths of the ocean.
Lavana's lightly closed eyes fluttered suddenly, and then her long, slightly curly eyelashes curled.
There was a sound of conversation in my ears, and my whole body was still painful except for the back of my shoulders and the back of my head, but I could say that nothing was damaged, and what caught my eye was a roof where light and shadow jumped together.
"I'm finally waking up."
Lavana turned her head to see a warrior with red circles under her eyes and her hair tied in two bundles with a cloth ribbon on her chest, and she was talking.
Sitting up slowly, Lahuana first looked around, and when she saw the woman who had defeated her, her heart sank and she sighed, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”
"It didn't take long, and it's only the next evening." Cynthia noticed the other party's gaze, rubbed her eyes a little embarrassed, and said, "Although you were sent by the organization to supervise us, no one had the idea of taking your life, and the four newcomers who came with you were also safe. ”
"Hmm...... Thank you. Lahana sensed the demonic energy emanating from her body, and her complexion was not good, if there was demonic energy, it would be difficult to escape.
"Don't look downcast, let's go and meet them downstairs, NO.5 Lajuana." Annabelle stood up and walked to Cynthia's side, before they took the opportunity to tell each other what had happened to them over the years, Cynthia couldn't help but cry, but most of the knot in her heart was gone.
