Chapter 54: Conspiracy
As night fell, the lights of this US military base in the depths of the desert gradually turned on.
Orionna was alone in the room that had been prepared for her, and no one bothered her, not even Coulson, who surprisingly didn't come over to ask her about the day.
As a mechanical magical being, Oriona does not need to sleep to replenish her depleted mental and physical strength like ordinary people, as long as the pile of magical runes specially constructed for her by Patch on her body is not completely destroyed, Oriona can draw enough energy from heaven and earth to maintain full energy forever.
She sat alone on the edge of her bed until midnight, and when the base was completely quiet, Oriana got up and closed the curtains in the room and pulled something out of her body.
Sitting on a chair in the room, Oriana was clutching an octahedral transparent diamond-shaped cube in her hand, and as her hand emitted bursts of blue light, the diamond-shaped crystal suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.
After seeing the white light, Oriana hurriedly waved her hand, and suddenly two white pictures appeared in front of her eyes out of thin air.
"Orianna ......"
One of the images suddenly became clear from a blur, and a familiar portrait of Orianna appeared in her eyes.
"Master."
After seeing the figure, Oriona quickly nodded respectfully and greeted softly.
That's right! One of the two virtual light curtains that Oriana created connected Patch, who was still in the 13th block of New York at the time.
"Oriana, how's it going? Did this trip go well? Patch looked at Orianna and smiled and asked her out loud.
"Master, the trip went well, and after arriving in Afghanistan today, Coulson immediately sent dozens of soldiers and agents to search for Tony Stark, but apparently they didn't find anything."
Oriana's dark blue eyes flickered slightly, and she replied to Patch in a low synthesized electronic voice.
"That's good." After hearing Oriana's answer, Patch nodded slightly, and then opened her mouth again to ask, "By the way, Oriana, after arriving in Afghanistan, have you contacted Cullens?" ”
"Not yet, I contacted Kalens through the teleportation crystal during the day, but I didn't get a reply from him." Oriana replied in a mechanical tone.
"He didn't get back to you?"
After hearing Oriana's answer, Patch's eyes in the virtual light curtain couldn't help but widen a little in an instant, and then his voice sounded again: "Needless to say, Callens must be hiding where to sleep again, I don't know what is wrong with this lazy thing, but I just contracted this drowsiness." ”
Patch's voice was filled with anger and frustration, and after he extracted the dark particles to create Culens, the creature spent at least twenty hours of the day sleeping.
Although Callens is also absorbing the dark particles emitted from the universe all the time in his sleep, and his own ability is slowly improving, but because of his problem, he has missed many tasks assigned to him by Patch.
It's just that in the group of magical beings created by Patch, although Cullens has missed a lot of things, it is relatively reliable.
Compared to Owen, the completely out of tune, and Hab, the Magic Stone Colossus who has no brains at all, at least Callens can still make Patch save some heart.
But the task that Patch gave to Cullens was obviously very important to him, so Patch was a little angry.
In the hut of the thirteenth block, Patch's brow furrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, another virtual light curtain appeared from the light curtain that showed the image of Orianna.
"Cullens, wake me up......"
With a roar from Patch, the originally vague light curtain suddenly became clear, and a black mist slowly condensed in the picture presented by the light curtain, gradually forming a human form.
And this person is undoubtedly Cullens, who Patch arranged to go to Afghanistan and lurk beside Tony Stark.
After hearing Patch's roar, Cullens in the light curtain suddenly lit up with a few dim glows in his eyes that condensed into a human form.
"Master, what's wrong?" Karlens asked, pretending to be ignorant.
"Cullens, I asked you to keep an eye on Tony Stark, is that what you did for me?" Staring at Cullens, Patch asked him with a loud roar.
Hearing Patch's roar, Culens' neck couldn't help but shrink slightly, his eyes that bloomed with dark light flickered slightly, and he responded softly, "Master, am I not staring at Tony Stark?" ”
"Do you think I don't know? You guys don't know where to sleep again, and you didn't even pay attention to Oriona calling you with the communication crystal today. ”
As soon as Patchy finished speaking, Cullens shouted in surprise, "What? Oriana is here too? Master, why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
"I'm just afraid that this guy of yours will be lazy and ruin my affairs, so I specially asked Oriana to supervise you."
Frowning at Cullens, Patch said slowly: "But this time Oriana also has her mission, so you have to continue to keep an eye on Tony Stark for me, if you haven't completed the mission I gave you this time, I think you should know what the consequences will be." ”
"Okay!" After listening to Patch's words, Cullens couldn't help but bow his head and whispered a reply.
Of course, the consequences of Patch's words are clear to Culens, after all, it is not the first time that he has been punished by Patch for failing the mission, but when he thinks of the cruel punishments that his master Patch has inflicted on him before, Culens's body can't help but shudder.
Immediately afterward, Cullens's dark eyes flickered slightly for a while, and he said in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task perfectly this time." ”
"Let's hope so......"
Patch glanced at Cullens in disbelief, and then opened his mouth again and commanded: "Culens, what I arranged for Oriona this time must be completed with your cooperation, so you must complete everything Oriona wants you to do for me in the next period of time, you know?" ”
"Yes, master, everything is as you instruct." Cullens nodded heavily.
After getting Cullens's response, Patch nodded, turned his head to look at another virtual light curtain hovering in mid-air, and instructed Oriona inside: "Oriana, I won't say much about the next things, you communicate with Cullens yourself about the specific aspects, and this time you must supervise him to complete the things I explained." ”
"Yes, master."
"Well, that's it for now!" After receiving Oriona's response, Patch nodded slightly, and then with a wave of his hand, the two light curtains in mid-air disappeared without a trace.
Sitting alone in his chair, Patch muttered to himself as his eyes stared out the window at the dark night sky.
"I'll have to go about my own business next."
