CH.60 The Hidden Truth

"Al, are you awake? Does it still hurt in your body? ”

Although anger was still burning in her chest, seeing that Al had woken up, her mood had improved a bit, so she went over to help her cover the quilt and asked softly beside her.

"Sister? It's great that you're okay! ”

Al opened his eyes, confused for a moment, and when he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Xia Hou's first reaction was joy, and then remembered, but there was a pain in his chest, and he fell backwards on the mat.

"I seem to have been knocked away by that big monster......" recalled what happened not long ago, a pair of big black eyes stared at Natsu, and found that there was some dust on her delicate face, and couldn't help but reach out and help her wipe it.

"Al, your injuries are not light, lie down here and don't move, do you hear me?"

Xia held her hand affectionately and instructed her, with a hint of sternness in her voice.

"I see."

Sweetness welled up in Al's heart.

In the past, my sister was cold when she talked to herself, but during this time, she was much gentler, but occasionally she was stern...... It feels good, too.

"Let's get out, Zero, you and Al stay here and keep yourself and her safe."

Xia also instructed Zero, and then led everyone outside.

With the current strength of the zero superpower LV5, not to mention the spiritual demon of Manticor, even if there is another S-level demon, I am afraid it will not be her opponent, and it is very reassuring to have such a powerful character to protect Al himself.

"Dora, you don't wronged a good person, but now you are still suspicious, so ......"

Natsu held Dora in her arms apologetically, now that she had no weapons on her, the threat to the firearms department had been reduced to a minimum, so no one offered to tie her up.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Dora let her hold herself, only to be there sobbing heartbreakingly.

Before everyone could stand firm outside, Zero sat on the cushion and floated over like a flying carpet in a fairy tale, and Al behind him also lay on it curiously, and the two of them staggered from the air to the ground, landing steadily.

Xia pressed her forehead in distress, and she didn't know whether to be angry with Zero, a girl with pure common sense like a piece of paper.

Forget it, since she wants to come, she can come, Al looks quite happy anyway, and Xia didn't care about them when she thought of it.

"I don't know what happened, but I want to say that Dora is a good boy and would never do anything bad."

Al was very intelligent, and when he saw the faces of the crowd and Dora who was crying on the ground and had no one to take care of, he had already guessed some truths in his heart.

"I believe in her too, but the situation is complicated right now, and I can't jump to conclusions."

Natsu whispered to her in his mind.

Al blinked in surprise, but she was also an insightful eldest lady, and quickly understood that this was something similar to a spiritual spell, so she motioned for Xia to come closer, and whispered in her ear:

"I'm the captain of our first-year four-person team, and I'm quite familiar with them, so maybe you can ask me if my sister has any questions."

Xia's ears were tickled by her, and when she heard this, she thought for a moment and asked:

"What's the composition of your squad?"

"A sniper, an assaulter, a fire coverer, a scout. The sniper is Dora; The assault man is me; Shizuki is fire cover; There was also a scout who didn't usually like to talk, and that was the inconspicuous girl over there, whose name was Normanta. ”

Al introduced the situation of several people, and then looked at Xia and said seriously:

Dora also served as a medical officer, responsible for the treatment of the team's wounded. Her technique is very good, and her heart is also very kind, although her mouth is sometimes a little poisonous, but she will never do that kind of thing to hurt others. ”

"Peng!!"

Suddenly, a dull cracking sound sounded.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Zero's body.

I saw her staring at the shackles she was wearing on her hands, and at this moment the sturdy shackles had broken in two.

"This ...... Bad! Finally...... Yes, get it open. ”

Her eyes sparkled with joy, and then a white light flashed, and the lock in her left hand was shattered, followed by her right hand; This pair of shackles, which she didn't know how long she had been wearing, had finally become a waste product under her own strong strength.

"Great, Zero."

Xia Huan walked over happily, rubbed her wrist that was locked to purple, and said.

Originally, she wanted to find Delia to untie the shackles, but now it seems that there is no need to do more.

"Hey......

Zero had a mischievous look on her face for the first time since she was born, staring at the twisted and broken metal on the ground, watching them rush all the way to the distant rock pile, the sharp metal cracks embedded deep in the rocks, almost as easy as tofu.

What terrible power, what kind of magic is this?

The people who were originally in a heavy mood next to them looked cold, none of them had ever seen superpowers, and they thought that Zero was using a kind of magic:

This orange-haired girl is probably even more fierce than the dragon at the beginning!

"Master, I found a problem with one person."

Stephanie reported from the side.

"Who?"

Natsu choked his breath.

"It's the squad scout that Al said, when Zero ripped off the lock just now, everyone else showed a look of surprise, only her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be secretly excited."

"Stephanie, investigate the information about this Nomanta."

Natsu said to Stephanie.

"Master, it's probably her!"

Stephanie said with a solemn expression after seeing the information that was called up.

Character Name: Normanta Westminster

Race: Human

Level: 90

Class: Illusion Mage

"Level 90? And the profession is not a firearms expert or a magic gunner, but an illusionist! ”

Xia was shocked.

"This person's mind is so deep.,She's already a first-class powerhouse in the school park.,But she pretended to be a first-year freshman and ran to the science and technology department.,And didn't the owner find out.,Isn't her name very problematic?" Stephanie added.

"First ......"

Xia looked at the panel carefully, and his eyes were locked on the five words "Westminster" in the back.

"It's ...... The surname of the royal family! ”

Her heart was churning:

This Normanta is actually a royal family!

"Al, tell me, how much do you know about that Normanta?"

She spoke to Al.

"Nomanta?"

Al thought for a long time:

"She doesn't usually associate with us, and I don't know where she came from or where she came from, but this person seems to be polite and cultured, and gives a good impression; And she doesn't like to talk too much, so everyone doesn't care much about this person. ”

"Illusion mages and some people who are good at psychic sneak attacks tend to be mediocre in appearance, and the same is true for assassins who specialize in assassination; This reduces the chance of being noticed, making it easier to act and cast spells. ”

Stephanie said to Natsu.

She was also very curious about this person, why would a dignified royal family deign to be in a discipline that was not too popular like firearms, and disguised himself as a first-year freshman?

"I see!"

Stephanie suddenly tapped her little hand:

"It is said that some old women like to pretend to be young to make themselves look younger, so they go to the first grade to be newcomers, and it is easy to catch little boys......"

"Know your size!"

Natsu interrupted her angrily, and then asked Al:

"Isn't there anything different about her? For example, hobbies or places that you frequent. ”

"When my sister asked, I remembered something."

Al frowned and said:

"She seems to know Ms. Taos, and I've seen two people talking in front of the Wang Li Institute, yes! I remembered that she was an intern at the institute for a while. ”

Al uttered a message.

Ms. Taos ...... I remember that this person was the head of the institute? ”

Xia searched for the memories in her mind, and thought of who Taos was: wasn't this the person Natya Vida had said on the way to the Thousand Bell Flower Cave?

The authority of the kingdom's scientific and technological research, even the head of the school does not dare to provoke people...... It must be that she's right.

After connecting this qiē before and after, Xia had a flash of inspiration in his mind!

She finally understood why others were shocked when they saw Zero's abilities, but she was the only one who was excited:

This Normanta, I must have seen Zero when I was in the research institute!

"Oh no, I thought that Zero had been locked up in a dark place on the seventh floor, and no one among the students had ever seen her, so I took her with me with me; I didn't expect there to be a member of the royal family who knew the head of the research institute! With her identity and strength, it is not impossible to come into contact with zero. ”

"I ...... Can I share my opinion? ”

At this moment, a soft voice rang in everyone's ears, and Xia turned his face to see that it was the hidden LV90 illusion mage Normanta.

Her face looked a little red, and she seemed to be very bad at attracting attention, and stammered:

"I, I believe that Dora is definitely not the murderer!"

"I don't want to believe it, but at the moment, it seems that she is the only one who is the most suspicious."

Since he saw that the other party was acting, Xia Ye pretended to be helpless, and said with his hands outstretched.

"Actually, I have a good way to prove that Dora is innocent!"

Normanta made a sudden thought of something, and took out two transparent films from the package:

"This is a sticker that can take fingerprints, and the awl may have the prisoner's fingerprints on it, so we just need to take Dora and compare it with the fingerprints on it."

She blinked innocently and uttered a method that seemed to make sense.

"Master, this woman is so cunning, I guess she hypnotized Dora with illusion and asked Dora to stab Zero...... I'm sure that awl must have Dora's fingerprints on it! All these things that happened were calculated by her a long time ago. ”

"Dora, I'm Natsu, I want to ask you one thing now, if you want to get rid of suspicion, just nod your head, I will definitely try my best to help you! But you have to answer my question, do you hear me? ”

Natsu secretly whispered to Dora, who was sitting on the ground.

Dora's body shuddered slightly, and she raised her head.

Natsu smiled at her and made an encouraging face.

Dora was confused for a moment, but finally nodded firmly.

"Okay, tell me, have you ever left the range of the spell barrier?"

Dora nodded.

"What are you going to do, go to the bathroom?"

Natsu then asked a strange question.

Dora's face flushed.

But in the end, she nodded slightly, affirming the answer.

Natsu retracted her mental induction, glanced at Normenta quietly, and found that she was standing there, as if waiting for everyone to draw conclusions, looking like a good girl for the sake of her partner.
