Chapter Twenty-Eight: Secret Secrets
"Finally escaped." Luna sighed, and sat down on the floor, she looked around at a few of them, they were leaning against the wall, it seemed that everyone was tired from the thug battle just now, Luna sighed.
After everyone rested for a moment, Luna stood up and resumed her questioning, "Mr. Samuel, where are we going?" And ......," she said, glancing around her, "here?" ”
"You think it's spacious, don't you?" Samuel's face was a little smug, and Luna nodded, and he continued, "This is a land, sea and air armored gunboat named Sparta. ”
"Sparta?" Luna looked out of the levitation window and was surprised to see that she was slowly moving away from the ground, "Can this guy still be in the air?" ”
"Yes." Samuel explains, "That's just one of the magicalities, and you'll find more of it later." With that, he looked back at Franklin, and as the two looked at each other, Samuel continued, "Let's not talk about the magic of this gunboat, let's talk about our plan first." He turned to look at Luna, "Is your mother's name Jaceline?" ”
"Well, that's right."
"Did you see her in the square today?"
"How do you know?" Luna was even more confused.
"Looks like the intelligence is right." Samuel touched his chin, his face a little anxious, and he paced back and forth in the aisle.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked.
"Looks like you can't go," said Samuel, "Lord Franklin, explain to them first, and I'll tell the driver to change lanes." With that, he walked into the cab on the right side of the aisle.
"What's going on?" Luna asked again.
"Well, Luna, did you get a secret message from your mother?" Franklin asked.
"Yes."
"What's on it?"
"I remember......" said Luna as she reached for the paper ball in her pocket and handed it to him, "she said she was waiting for us in Cagalli. ”
Franklin took the note, looked at it carefully, and after a moment, he said, "Don't you think it's strange, Lu?" ”
"Huh?"
"Your mother actually left this letter so that you could go to her." Franklin thought for a moment and said, "Then why did she appear in the square?" ”
"Isn't it?" Hearing Franklin's words, Luna's heart hung again, indeed contradicting herself, Jacelyn actually left this letter, so why did she appear in the square again? Besides, she was seen following the Lord Regent in the chapel, so why did Luna only see Jaceline in the square, but not the Lord Regent and his men?
Luna's brain is spinning, but she can't come to a conclusion when faced with these doubts. Why, exactly? Luna was a little annoyed, her fingers scratching at her hair, why?
Franklin didn't go any further, but invited a few of them to the meeting cabin on the left side of the doorway to wait for everyone to sit down and rest.
Franklin once again beckoned to Luna, who was stuck in her mind by questions, and he glanced at Luna, motioning for Luna to go and talk to him, Luna nodded, and he continued, "Everyone has worked hard, and everyone must have been consumed in the battle just now, you see how it is." As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back, "Well, Luna, can you come with me to make some cups of tea and let your friends rest here for a while?" ”
"Okay." Luna agreed, and followed him into the kitchen next to the cabin.
As soon as he entered the kitchen cabin, Franklin hurriedly turned around and locked the door, and before Luna could speak, he immediately said, "Luna, I don't have time to explain to you now, Mr. Franklin has been kidnapped!" ”
"And who are?" Luna hurriedly asked, and the figure of Franklin in front of her slowly faded from head to bottom, and after a while, a silver-haired girl appeared in front of her, and "...... Elyce" Alice hurriedly grabbed Luna's mouth and forced her not to speak.
Alice whispered, "I know you have a lot of questions, but anyway, let's find the distribution room first. She let go of her hand and began to explore the kitchen.
Finally, under Alice's careful search, Luna finally finds a hidden passage hidden in the kitchen cupboard.
Alice pulls a screwdriver out of her pocket, removes the screws from top to bottom, and the passage is opened. To be on the safe side, Alice gets inside, and only after she signals "dongdong" inside does Luna get inside.
The tunnel was small, but good enough for Luna and Alice's small size, and they squirmed slowly, as it was a tunnel, rather than a vent in the power distribution room.
After climbing for a while, the two finally reach the power distribution room at the other end, where they climb out of the vents, and soon Luna and Samuel meet up.
Finally Luna can't take it anymore and asks Samuel and Alice what happened. The atmosphere here is panicked. With their explanation, Luna finally got a rough idea of what was going on, he locked the cab, and Mr. Franklin was kidnapped!
Why, exactly! When! How I didn't know! Before Luna could ask this series of questions, Alice's hand was ruthlessly shoved back, she put her arm around Luna's waist and pulled her to the door, she covered Luna's mouth again, and with the other hand, she turned on the button of the VR limiter on their necks, and Samuel on the side disappeared without a trace after pressing the contents of their necks.
Alice was afraid of Luna's voice, it seemed that the last time Luna escaped from prison and didn't listen to orders in the sewers gave her a real headache until now, she covered Luna's mouth tightly with one hand, and pressed Luna's abdomen hard with the other, which was not enough, at least she felt so, she pressed her knees tightly against my crotch, forcing Luna to struggle at all.
Luna could only obey because my knees would strain when I moved slightly.
"Knock knock", footsteps came from the corridor in front of the power distribution room, Luna turned her head, and through the crack in the door, she saw two people, two soldiers with assault rifles and masks, could it be assassins again?
"That's where the voice comes from!"
"Let's go inside." One of the soldiers ordered, and they walked forward slowly, keeping their eyes off the scope of the gun for a moment, for fear of some accidents, they moved forward slowly, and when the two entered the power distribution room, they shone the flashlight on the barrel of the gun, and then put down the gun in their hand, Luna put it down in a hanging heart, it seems that there are no thermal imaging and heartbeat sensors on the barrel of their gun.
"There's nothing."
"I guess it's a mouse."
"Go back early, those three guys don't know where they are yet."
"That's right." One soldier stretched, "It's so easy to sneak in, it's exhausting." ”
"Let's go, let's go, go back and report to Mr. Adolphus, it's OK, they don't dare to fight us head-on anyway, you must know that Franklin and his family still have a lot of hostages in our hands." The soldier waved his hand, "So don't worry, it's all in Adolf's calculations." ”
Alice let go of her hand, and she slowly moved behind the two soldiers, and then waited quietly.
"Alright, let's go back." The two soldiers turned to leave, Alice looked at them quietly for a few seconds, well, from the conversation they had just had, they were tired, they were in a state of flux, and it was easy to deal with them now.
Alice moved slowly, curling slightly. She steadied her breath and watched carefully at the two soldiers, especially the one behind her, adjusting her position until she came behind them. Her hands are raised high: the dagger is held high in her left hand, and her right hand is claw-shaped.
In the next second, Alice attacked, and she stabbed the dagger in her hand deep into the soldier's spine, and before he could scream, she had already covered his mouth with her right hand. A hairy hug, and the two were frozen for a moment.
In a few moments, the soldier curled up in a ball, and Alice gently lowered him to the ground, closing her frightened eyes. As military men, the two of them made fatal mistakes. Alice continued to approach the soldier in front of her, and for a split second, she wiped the neck of the other soldier, and the two of them paid a terrible price for their mistakes.
After dragging the bodies of the two soldiers into the house and hiding them, Alice took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood from the blade before beckoning Luna and Semuel out.
"Well done." Semeil praised, "Worthy of the silver fox." With that, he picked up two assault rifles on the ground and handed one to Alice.
Alice took the assault rifle, straddled it on her back, and continued to rub the dagger with a blank face.
"It seems that I have just improved a lot." Semuel scratched his head, "Anyway, let's settle the dominance of this gunboat first." With that, the two of them prepared to walk out of the room.
"What the hell is going on?" Luna's doubts hold them back again.
"We just told you so much and what she did, and you still don't understand?" Semeil asked.
"I really don't understand." "Because I don't feel like you've got me into the storyline. ”
"I can't help it." Semere shrugged, "I'll just tell you briefly. His hand touched his chin, "This gunboat has been taken over by that Mr. Adolf......"
"When?"
"Just now."
"Is it when you asked me those words?"
"No, in advance." "The exact time is when there was a panic in the church, and you should remember that Lord Franklin had fallen to the ground." ”
"I know that."
"That's an illusion, but there were a few things we all overlooked at the time." "First, Berenwell created the first illusion, and you should remember that a masked man fell from the sky and came into my field of vision." ”
"Yes." Luna replied, "That's my companion." ”
"Good." Semere said.
"What does that mean?" Luna retorted.
At this time, Alice opened her mouth, "Didn't Huang Xiu leave Wharton with William for a while?" ”
"It's possible that Bertha has already gone back to inform them, so they ......"
"......No," said Alice, putting away her knife, "it was already dawn when you came out of the church, and the sewers where we lived were some distance away, and Bertha couldn't get there, with the messy sewers. ”
"Then she can contact Cafrien and them first?"
"No, she can't?"
"Why?"
"No why."
"Then you can make it clear!"
“…… You don't understand her. ”
"Don't act like you know her well just because you're a sister."
In this way, Luna and Alice argued, and Semeul, who was standing on the sidelines, felt a little embarrassed, and she seemed to hesitate whether to persuade or not, but apparently, God did not give him time to hesitate.
Just as the two were arguing and chattering, there was a loud "boom" behind them.
