Chapter 97: Coward
If, putting aside the process and only looking at the results, this time the turtle caught in the urn was very successful, even unbelievably smooth.
This has to make people admire Riveria's predictions more and more.
This guy seems to have the ability to "see through anyone's heart" to some extent......
"You're amazing, Sister Riveria! How the hell is it done?! ”
After that, Vane seemed to have another object of worship in addition to Lemuel, that is, his brother.
"Can you see the future?!"
This girl has been babbling Rivelia like this for almost an hour. But apparently she didn't feel tired in the slightest.
That's right, whether it's an exaggeration or not; In fact, this guy's curiosity is so strong.
Even as an older brother, I feel a little overwhelmed.
"That's it, Vane. If you continue to ask, you just don't understand the amorous feelings, right? ”
So, I couldn't help but knock that guy on the head.
"It hurts, what are you doing?! Brother ......"
"I'm just reminding you not to cause trouble for others. Also, learn a little bit about the atmosphere, right? ”
"Woo! What does it matter...... Do you want to say that this place is the only one you can come to? Are no one else allowed to step in? ”
"When did I say anything like that?"
However, in contrast to this justifiable denial, at the moment when the words fell, someone seemed to act like a thief with a weak heart-
"What a suspicious ——?"
In this case, it is helpless to be pointed out by my sister so unabashedly.
Realizing this, Lemuel couldn't help but sigh.
Once again, he really felt how worthless he was as an older brother.
"Anyway, please don't ignore me as if you take it for granted! Sister Riveria—"
In an instant, Vane raised his voice again. And ran straight in front of her!
By the way, her puffing cheeks and pouting her mouth are like saying......
"Please don't treat me like a child!"
Protests like these, of course, were felt by Riveria.
That's why she rested her hand on her head as if it were natural, and stroked it back and forth—
"Good ...... good"
It looked like he was comforting a pet. Seeing this, Lemuel couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, when Van Riveria wants to be perfunctory, he does so most of the time.
However, the target is limited to Vane alone.
"You're talking about a vision of the future, a vision that is close to a prophet, that kind of vision, or power...... I don't think most people have it. ”
After a while, he finally put down his pen and looked up to answer her question.
I finally got my eyes off the obscure mathematical formulas.
"And it's so easy to guess what Ozman thinks than that kind of thing."
"Seriously, have you watched too many science fiction movies?"
"That is?"
Vane continued to ask with great interest.
"That is, I mean...... General knowledge is also a compulsory course to some extent, right? Do you understand? ”
In an instant, her words were like a basin of cold water poured on Vane from head to toe!
It devastated her
Because when Riveria said this, she was not saying that she had no common sense and a serious lack of judgment!
Suddenly provoked her to squat in the corner on the side, and kept drawing circles-
And in the back that seemed to be full of care, it was written in a grand way-
"Come and comfort me!"
This can't help but make people feel a little unbearable.
"That's so understandable, that guy."
However, the more embarrassing thing at this moment is undoubtedly Lemuel.
"I'm so sorry to have such a sister!"
In an instant, he apologized to Riveria unconsciously......
"It's not your fault, what do you want to do all of a sudden?"
"That's right—"
However, just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Riveria as if he had taken it for granted......
"Compared to this, you were the only one who failed last week's test, right?"
"Huh?"
Immediately afterward, she pushed a report on the collation of test data for the new body to Lemuel, who was a little speechless.
"Brother......
Anyone could see that his frustration was very evident right now. and stubbornly thinks that he is dragging Riveria back......
As a result, the overall testing progress is too slow.
That's why the attack happened three days ago, right?
Seriously, if she hadn't predicted this in advance, she wouldn't have thought about the consequences.
Although people have caught it at this moment, the most fundamental reason is because of themselves.
"That, I'm sorry! I'll try it again until I get the hang of it! ”
“......”
Now that he has said it to this point, he can't continue to pour cold water on him now, right?
However, even so, Riveria added-
"I didn't show you this just to hear you say that. And the more I say that word, the cheaper it will only seem......"
"So it's forbidden to say it again. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, yes—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lemuel immediately shut up. And the loss is as palpable as it is visible to the naked eye.
"Really, cheer up! I'm telling the truth. However, there is no intention to put all the blame on you! ”
Indeed, he was just telling the truth, and he had no intention of putting the blame for the overall lag in the test schedule on Lemuel......
Let him carry it. However, with such a troublesome character, he must take it for granted that-
"It's all my fault."
It must be so, right?
He undoubtedly thought so.
However, in fact, the root cause of such a result in the end is not others, but the result of one's own self-inflicted experience-
Knowing that he would not be able to meet the test requirements in the first place......
Even resisting the premise of "face-to-face with such a being", he still let Lemuel participate in the test in such a situation......
What is this not self-inflicted?
Even if he knew better than anyone that it was a hurdle he had to overcome. However, in the end, he still imposed his own ideas on him.
Isn't that self-inflicted? Obviously, now, he is the person who knows him best.
"The hangar is still empty, right?"
"Huh......? It's still empty. What's wrong? ”
As soon as the words fell, Riveria had already guessed what Lemuel wanted to say. So—
She shoved the access card to the new simulator hangar into Lemuel's hand.
"Why ......?"
"What? Don't you want to ask me for this? ”
"That's true, but how do you know I'm going to ask this?"
Riveria looked at him with a slightly troubled look—
"If I can't even see this now, I'd rather dig a crack in the ground and get into it."
She summed it up neatly and neatly, and at the same time there was no flaw. It's just that the tone is colder than before.
"Thanks, then I'll go!"
Immediately after that, Lemuel, who had dropped such a sentence, really left the room that looked like a study.
"Sister Riveria, do you think brother can he succeed?"
Even if she felt Wayne's worries and her desperate need for an answer, she could empathize......
However, he could only tell her the "visible" facts.
"It's up to him, we can't help now."
"How can this be ......"
In an instant, her disappointment came like a tidal wave! And in this regard, Riveria can only comfort him with a wry smile.
In fact, however, she herself may have been in a more anxious state than Vaane.
But I know better than anyone that I can't be in such a negative mood all the time-
Because now there is something else that needs to be done.
So during the time when Lemuel was practicing and trying to pass the mock test......
She sees Stella and Ellen every day.
Discussing what to do with the people who participated in the attack before, they have become similar to the group of "prisoners under the stairs" at this moment.
There is no doubt that they now urgently need intelligence about Ozman from those populations, but......
"Really? It's been a week, and they'd rather bite their tongues and kill themselves than give us any information? ”
"Yes, I seem to underestimate their loyalty, too."
"I have to say, that Ozman guy has a group of loyal men—"
At this moment, Stella also expressed her opinion as if she had a feeling. But today is not the time to listen to your impressions.
Rather, it is necessary to negotiate a practical and effective countermeasure.
Speaking of which, Professor...... I don't seem to have seen Lemuel in the past few days? Is it missing? ”
Stella threw out a sneering joke with a smile on her face in the blink of an eye—
But in terms of results, it didn't meet her expectations at all......
"Huh? Isn't it funny? ”
"What's more! I'm all taken aback by you, right?! ”
In an instant, Alan slammed back with the momentum of poking his forehead straight into his forehead!
"Poof, hahahaha......!"
As a result, Riveria laughed.
He had been stuffed in the test hangar a week ago. Say yes to find a way to get the aptitude test up to the mark no matter what, don't worry. ”
"So?"
"Yes, so don't worry. After all, I've been in regular contact with that guy—"
Immediately after, the three of them returned to the topic just now.
"Do you have any good ideas about this?"
"We're going to have to find a way to get Ozman out of their mouths as soon as possible."
"Of course, but...... Those guys don't eat hard and soft. What a hassle! ”
Speaking of which, Stella's fiery temper explodes again!
“......”
This time, Ellen did not persuade her as usual, but tactfully expressed the same opinion as Stella.
Then he put forward his own idea -
"Now we're feeding them every day on demand, but to be honest, this makes Miss Millie very reluctant......"
"Reluctantly?"
"Hmm. In her sense, a bunch of guys like that don't have the right to live. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Stella suddenly had a flash of inspiration-
"This is it!"
"Huh?"
And at the moment when she shouted, the corners of Riveria's mouth also rose slightly. Apparently she had already guessed Stella's thoughts.
In the end, it seems that only Alan has been kept in the dark from beginning to end.
That is, what does that mean? Do you guys have any good ideas? ”
Then, after listening to the explanations and explanations of the two, he also nodded again and again in a sudden realization -
"I see, interrupt the food supply? This is indeed a good way to be unreasonable. ”
"Unreasonable? And what else is there to talk about with them? If it weren't for Ozman's ambitions, would we be where we are? ”
“......”
So, this guy ...... Stella's sense of justice really makes people have nothing to say about admiration anyway.
"Anyway, what if they still won't reveal it, even if they do?"
"Well, kill them."
Suddenly, Riveria, who threw out this sentence with a serious expression, instantly frightened the two of them!
Suddenly, the two of them were speechless, and even their expressions became extremely stiff. It's as if it's frozen......
“?!”
“...... Professor, are you serious? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, both of them were taken aback in an instant!
"That's right, I'm serious. There is no doubt about that...... But it's a last resort—"
Suddenly, Stella and Alan seemed to feel that Riveria at this moment seemed to have become a completely different person.
Immediately afterwards, Stella, who was finally relieved, immediately raised a doubt that people couldn't ignore-
"But even so, we can't hope for ...... The breakthrough is all pinned on those guys, right? ”
"Are you talking about the possibility of our side conducting an investigation alone?"
Riveria made a supplement for her.
"Yes, can it be done?"
In this regard, Riveria neither affirmed nor denied. However, she already had some ideas in her mind......
So, when night fell and the clock hand pointed to 8, she returned to her room and had a video call with someone.
"Yo, are you still in good spirits?"
"What's the matter with contacting me at this time?"
At this moment, Levi looked like he had just taken a shower, and his hair was still wet.
"Ozman ......"
Then, after Rivelia had given as little explanation and explanation as possible, he didn't say anything, but sighed at first.
"What! That tone...... I also know it's really bad for me to bother you at this late hour—"
"No, that's not what I meant...... Actually, I'm also investigating that guy. ”
Suddenly, to say that you are not surprised at all by such an answer is absolutely deceitful......
"In that case, why don't you contact me? At least we can exchange information—"
As soon as she finished speaking, a wry smile came from Levi's side, which seemed to be self-deprecating.
What he meant was obvious!
"If I could, I would have done it a long time ago."
"Is it really because of the news blockade?"
Levi nodded quietly. It's the same as defaulting.
"Now I'm accepting your video call because of the remote location. So I'll make a long story as short as I can......"
At this moment, Riveria couldn't help but get nervous-
It seems that he will throw a heavy ** at any time, and this feeling makes her can't help but swallow her saliva!
"I've found out where that guy lives now."
"Really?!"
Levi's words made Riveria jump out of her chair! As a result, because he only cared about this side, he overturned it-
There was a lot of movement in an instant!
"What are you doing?"
Levi couldn't help but laugh as she watched her hold her feet and jump on one leg.
"No, it's okay! Go on. ”
However, the appearance of being so painful that he was about to cry and endured it was not "okay" no matter how you looked at it......
"Ahem, okay......"
Immediately afterward, Levi digitally teleported Ozman's hiding place at this moment to Riveria's personal computer in the blink of an eye.
"Remember to destroy it as soon as you read it, understand?"
"I don't need you to remind you about this!"
Throwing down these words in an instant, she couldn't wait to turn on the computer.
But at that moment, Levi's voice stopped her again......
"Wait! There's something else until then, and I'd like you to take a look at it......"
Riveria looked back questioningly—
"What?"
Judging by her voice, she seemed a little dissatisfied. Levi, however, doesn't care about such minutiae at all.
Even if he's noticed.
"That's it—"
“!”
And the moment she saw "that existence", Riveria couldn't believe her eyes......!
