Chapter 47: The Man Who Blocked the Way

"You're awake......" A female voice as weak as a spring water came into Luna's ears, and she slowly opened her eyes, and a sudden blue appeared in her blurred vision.

Bertha? No, Alice? No, she should still be lying in the hospital...... But it's been a few days now?

"Three days." The red sound sounded again, and my consciousness slowly cleared my vision, and because of this, the ensuing surprise met Luna's eyes.

Luna jumped to her feet, then pointed to the blue in her vague consciousness and said with a little trembling, "Ai...... Delin? ”

"Huh?" The other man bent his head in confusion, then glanced at Luna from the bottom up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why are you here?"

"Hmm......" she said, pushing her chin, "I'm alternate shifts with Lucius, and then I'll analyze your whereabouts, and I'll come over." ”

Luna froze for a moment, then thought of something important, and hurriedly asked, "What about Alice?" Luna's anxious look reflected in her aqua blue pupils, she thought for a moment, then said, "She's in a stable condition right now, and she's out of danger, so you can rest assured." With that, she put her hand on Luna's shoulder.

"Great." Luna rested her hands on the ground, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground, "Whew...... Hey? Luna looked around, it was an empty cavern, the important flames of the cave illuminated the faces of Adeline and me, and I looked around, "Huh? ”

Adeline sensed my confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Why is there one person missing?"

"Who?"

"Where's Bertha?"

"Bertha?" Confusion filled Adeline's face, "I didn't see her when I came here?" ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

"Hmm." The other nodded, and then Luna snapped, "Oops! A series of images of bloody violence appeared in her mind, Luna remembered everything, she fell to the ground after being stabbed, the afterglow before she fell unconscious allowed her to see Bertha lying in a pool of blood, Luna hurriedly touched the place where her stomach was pierced, the wound and hot blood were gone, but there was still a little pain from the quick recovery, Luna hurriedly withdrew her hand, and then said eagerly to Adeline, "We have to go." ”

"Wait." Adeline called out to Luna, her expression hesitant, "I know where Bertha is, we need to complete a mission before we do this." ”

"At this time, you still want to complete the task!" Luna said, "Do you know that if you delay for a second, Bertha's life could be ......"

"Don't make a noise!" Adeline's roar forced Luna to fall into silence and listen to her, she looked at me solemnly, for the first time since she met Adeline, and then continued, "That was Franklin's last mission, and this is the location, and I think Bertha should have been captured for this mission." ”

"What?"

"You must have made some so-called enemies here."

"Hmm......" Luna nodded.

"Good." She smiled, "That's a key to our mission, there's a traitor in our midst. ”

"......" Luna didn't respond to her, as I remembered what Franklin had said to me before he died.

"Don't trust anyone, do you?" Adeline looked into Luna's eyes with serious eyes, "Franklin told you before he died. She looked at Denna's thoughts.

“…… Well. Luna nodded, "He told me not to trust anyone. ”

"He's right." Adeline said, "Because in today's society, what you see and hear is not the real truth, and the person who believes in you will prevent you from stabbing him, and vice versa, the person you believe in will stab you." ”

“……”

"I'll just summarize it briefly." Adeline stood up, "There is someone on the other side that you should get acquainted, you may be surprised, but ......" she waved her hand, "If you don't want to, I won't force it, you can wait for me here." With that, she turned and walked towards the intersection.

Adeline's words caused Luna to ponder for a moment, and after a few seconds, Luna followed, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'll ...... it"

Next, Luna found the so-called informant according to Berenwell's letter, and the two followed him, the underground city is similar to the above-ground city, and it is also composed of streets and alleys, and by following the informants one by one, they finally found the traitor that Franklin and Berenwell said together.

The man, wearing a feathered hat and a dark suit, strode through the shops, his whole body shining under the xenon lamps of the underground city, and he laughed and laughed with some of the vendors, and to be honest, Luna's impression of him, although based on a distance, was that he was quite fair and somewhat benevolent in Adeline's opinion, but he betrayed Franklin and betrayed them.

During the round, the guards did not leave the left and right, and it was obvious that they were their dutiful subordinates: their eyes were constantly patrolling the market, he waved his hand to the two taller men, and then gave them the gifts he had bought at the bazaar, and in his series of movements, Luna found that he had never used his sword hand to shop or deliver things, which was good, it seemed that this was a very powerful swordsman, a real elite.

After a while, a little boy bursts out of the crowd, and Luna immediately turns her gaze to the guards, noticing their tense bodies, and ......

They breathed a sigh of relief? And then laugh at yourself and be surprised?

No, the two of them were still tense, and Luna could see their quivering eyelids, and they were on their toes. Because they are not stupid, they understand that the boy in front of them may be a trick.

They're so good that Luna even wonders if their employer is a man who says one thing and does another, or someone who often instigates and corrupts his subordinates. Hopefully not, because she had decided to spare their lives. On the surface, it seems that this is true, but in fact, I don't want to do much to spare them, and Luna is actually worried that I will fall into a head-to-head confrontation with two opponents who are not weak, but in reality this appearance is wrong, they may be very vigilant, and they know the way to death, and believe that they will also use their superb swordsmanship if necessary.

However, Luna is also very vigilant now, and she also understands the way to die and the pain of injury, because she feels the residual pain of the wound that has been healed through her, and in addition, Luna has mastered exquisite swordsmanship, but Luna is not very fond of killing, she does not take pleasure in it, she is simply good at it.

For the next two hours, Luna and Adeline followed the traitor, and although the hired staff around him changed over and over again, they believed that Bertha was in the hands of the gang, and eventually they were guided to a hotel.

The hostess greeted them happily and invited them to their rooms on the second floor after they had registered for their homes.

After entering the room, in order to prevent others from overhearing their conversation, Luna swiped the screen in the air to set up a virtual scene, then searched for Adeline's domain name, and clicked on the name in the list while thinking about it, and after everything was set, a menu popped up in the lower right corner of Luna's body, and Luna selected [DUEL] in the menu, and then selected [YES] in the next pop-up window, YES/NO dialog box.

In an instant, the appearance of my Luna enclosure began to change, the whole room and even the entire underground city disappeared from the cyan and static salon, the columns and tables changed back to their original colors but began to decay as if they had been weathered, and a thick layer of dust was attached to the glass.

Finally, the sky was dyed sky blue. Out of nowhere, a dry wind blew, and the nameless grass growing all over the ground swayed in the wind.

Not far from her, Adeline stood as Luna stepped up and put her shoulder on the shoulder, and she looked back suspiciously, "Luna?" What's wrong? ”

"Hmm......" Luna said, "aren't we in the same room on a mission?" ”

"Room? Task? Adeline was even more confused, "What are you talking about?" Luna was stunned by her answer, and she froze where she was, grabbing Luna's hand, "Where are you now!" Alice's condition is somewhat ...... Anyway, you come back first, it's been a few days, and we can't contact you anywhere! What are you doing! By the way, is Bertha with you? Where is she! ”

"I ...... You haven't been able to reach me for a few days? ”

"It's been five days!" Adeline's tone became even more anxious, "Anyway, you come back quickly!" Then she turned around, "Alice's condition is a little unoptimistic, anyway, now I have to go, the doctor called me!" With that, she ran forward, eventually turning into a cyan mist.

Luna clicked the timer button in the lower right corner of her body, which read: December 5th...... The hospital where she left on December 4...... Hey, no, didn't that Adeline just say that she contacted her for five days? How it is shown here is the day after she left the hospital.

Luna swiped her finger to the right in the air, and the next folder appeared in front of her, Luna moved out of the holographic keyboard, and after a series of searches and inventories, Luna found a strange system command character, she took a closer look, and sure enough, ...... Her VR limiter was implanted with a virus.

Thankfully, this space is the only stand-alone system given to them after going to Victoria's ruins, and it has the ability to block all cyber hackers' instructions, so thankfully they weren't able to find out what Luna is doing now.

But it's also a little funny to think about, who the hell did the VR limiter that fooled Luna so much? And what exactly is the red in that blurred effect? Another important question is who is this person in front of Luna? These questions prompted her to click "Yes/No" on the next pop-up under "Whether to clear the virus?", and then Luna used a unique mirror transmission command to fight back against the other party's virus, so that I could know the other person's identity directly, but it would take some time......

Luna sends an email to Adeline's system via Identity Secure Transfer. Things got interesting, and she pressed the [Shut down its interface] button that was floating in the air.

The Phantom returns to reality, and Luna returns.
