Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 82 The Departure and Stay of Number 7
When Rhines and the others returned to Morfi's base, it was already the next day.
Tao Tao really left a large room for Rheins, and they slept until the afternoon before getting up again. They had been delayed for some time to check on the place where Ella had had been in the accident, and it was not until late evening that they went to the neighbouring town, thinking that since it was late, they would have to wait until tomorrow to go back.
When Reins went to the infirmary and confirmed that Boe was no longer losing any more of his memories, the old part slowly returned to his mind, and began to taunt Seven.
"Do you know you've been dug up by the people of Roseos?" Reines pulled his hair out of the dark red bag and threw it at him, "This is the medium that makes your brother amnesiac, the affection you miss your brother." β
No. 7, who was already in good condition, had a little blood on his face that had been saved up by what she said again.
"How could it be......" he picked up the handful of hair in disbelief, "and they told me they were going to take it away and test the difference between those who fused those powers......
"How about you ask the guy next to you?" Reins said impatiently, "Only your hair should have the most important result of erasing your memory, not your brother." β
Number 7 looked at Boe with a blank eye, but Boe only looked at him apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Talos, I can't remember it yet."
Number 7 looked a little frustrated, while Reins laughed.
"Actually, if you think about it a little bit, you can probably know, right?" Reins dragged out her voice, "After all, your brother-brother-love-deep-"
ββ¦β¦β
Number 7 looked at her cautiously, as if he wasn't sure if he should open his mouth to speak, but Reins didn't care about his apprehension and continued to talk to herself.
"You've been in touch with your brother, and your brother should know what you're looking like after merging with the Gift, right?"
Given that Boe's memory had not yet fully recovered, Number Seven nodded in his place.
"With such a close communication, do you still expect Roseos not to find out? You're not really a fool, are you? Rhine stabbed him mercilessly before continuing, "That's easy, isn't it?" The men of Roses came to him with your hair and threatened him that if he did not give his own blood, then they would torture you, so - your good brother agreed. β
Although the actual process of the incident will not be so brief, at best it will only be slightly different in the details.
"Or do you smell it yourself?" Seeing No. 7's half-believing expression, she smiled disdainfully, "Although a long time has passed, even animals shouldn't be able to smell anything, but can you?" After all, except for blood...... It's hard for other things to work for such a long time. β
Number 7 hesitated, then sniffed the hairs as she had said. Seeing his ugly face, Reins knew that she had guessed correctly.
Boe didn't seem to be able to keep up with their topic at all, but he was thinking about something else, and when the conversation between the two of them came to an end, he raised his head and looked at Rhines and asked hesitantly: "You just said that Talos has been known about these things by the people of Roseos, so is Talos very dangerous?" β
Reins yawned and sat down in one of the chairs that Apaya had dragged out for her.
"There is no doubt about it. Because when we went to that altar, it was very distinctly marked by some new traps that were specifically aimed at me. "It's a pity that Roses always thinks that the family is stupid and the mercenaries are pariahs, and even if the two are nominally united, they don't think I'll let the family do something for real." β
Boe's expression visibly became anxious.
"Then the safety ...... of Talos"
Reins raised her hand to stop him.
"You don't remember, but we've talked about this before, and as long as 7 gives me all the information he knows, of course Fili's side will shelter him. In fact, there were a few fools in Molfi who really thought it would be nice to have him in the family. β
"Isn't that a bit too much?" Just came to the infirmary, Hua Shao, who heard the last sentence, protested, "Huck is a fool, forget it, I'm not." β
Reins made a surprised expression.
"To my surprise, dear Shao, I thought you were soulmates who loved each other dearly."
"That doesn't stop me from thinking Huck is a big fool." Hua Shao smiled at her, "Especially when I'm going to be dragged down." β
"What a heartless woman." Reins covered her mouth and laughed deliciously, "So wise Miss Hua Shao, there is a poor brother here waiting for you to give a positive answer." β
"They don't have to wait for my answer." Hua Shao looked at No. 7 meaningfully, "Maybe...... Mr. Talos would prefer to be a colleague of those of you who have worked with him. β
Reins' eyebrows were raised high, and she looked at No. 7 with a calm face, and couldn't help but smack her tongue.
"If I did this kind of behavior to him that I would reveal my intentions to you, which is suspected of provoking the relationship between Fili and Morfi, I will not be able to take him into Fili." "And, even if he hadn't, my Fili wouldn't have added any moreβnot even if Siruja wept and rolled on the ground." β
Her words made Hua Shao turn his head and laugh, and even Apaya, who had always been unpleasant to Siruya, curled the corners of his lips. Reins, on the other hand, continued the conversation quite seriously.
"Of course, that's not to say that you can't have anything to do with Filly, as long as you can pursue a Filly and become a partner for the other person, then you can barely be considered half Filly."
This offer seems to pique Seven's interest, and he looks at Reins with almost curiosity, and after making sure she's not lying, throws out a question that is almost equivalent to the bomb's effect.
"Can I be your partner, then?"
The ward fell into a terrible silence in an instant, and although Hua Shao looked surprised, there seemed to be a hint of watching a play in his eyes; Bee was genuinely surprised, and then looked at Reinz with a scrutinizing gaze. And just as Reins herself was about to speak, the person next to her spoke first.
"If that thing around your neck isn't an ornament, you should know I'm her partner."
Apaya's voice was full of displeasure, and it seemed that if it weren't for Rhines next to him, he wouldn't care if the other party was sick or what it did to them, and just threw the person out of Morfi's base.
"But you haven't signed a marriage contract yet, have you?" Number 7 shrugged, "Then you're not her partner yet." β
"It has nothing to do with that, my partner will only be him." Before Aphaya could get angry, Reins took his hand, "And even if I don't have a partner, I won't like you, No. 7." β
This kind of talk can be said to be quite ruthless, but No. 7 doesn't seem to care.
"Well, that's a shame." His tone didn't sound like pity at all, "Will I be able to join the family?" Would the people of the family mind that I used to be someone of Roseos? β
The question he asked later was already asking Hua Shao, and Hua Shao showed a gentle smile.
"When you came to Morfi, everyone knew you were from Roseos, and knowing that, Huck wanted you to be a member of the Wright family. After all, Huck always likes to collect some weird people back. β
This sentence was just as unkind, which made Number 7 pout slightly.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding." His demeanor at the moment is more like a coquettish little girl, "You know, this is the boring No. 4, and it is incredible that there will be lovers." β
Reins rolled her eyes at his assessment.
"Shut up, Number Seven."
"Can you be kind enough to call me by name?" He protested, "Please, my brother and I are going to be tied up in your boat." β
Reins snorted a feeling of disdain from her nose.
"I used to think you were really modified." She said sarcastically, "After more than ten years, I didn't expect you to remember what your nature was like." β
No. 7 ...... No, Talos pouted.
In Rhine's impression, when Talos was first brought to Roses, he was a noisy and joking character. It's just that because of the nature of the 'gift' of fusion, he needs to engage in espionage-type work, and after seeing more and doing more things...... It became silent and cold.
Without thinking too much, Reins got up from her chair.
"You go and follow Shao to go through the formalities first." She walked straight to the door, apparently intending to leave the ward, "It just so happens that you can also sort out what information you can provide us, I don't have time to listen to your description in a nutshell." β
Apaya followed her as well, and as they walked out the door, they heard Talos replying in a long voice.
"Oh-"
Hearing his perfunctory tone, Reins suddenly remembered something and stopped, turned around and threw a stone to Hua Shao.
"7 - I'll untie the handcuffs that Talos is wearing when you're done with the formalities, but even though he's being suppressed, he'll still have basic physical mobility, so Huck isn't there, so you'd better be careful, right? If he dares to plot against you, he will break that stone, I've already dealt with its hardness, and it can be broken with a slight pinch to the point that they both can't move. β
Talos's aggrieved look looked pleasing to Hua Shao.
"Wait, isn't this handcuff on my hand, why is my brother affected too?"
"Because your soul breath is still connected." Reine's smile was a little ill-intentioned, "Since you are brothers with deep feelings...... Of course, you have to be close and close, right? β
The silver-haired mercenary had no intention of staying for long, and before she could completely disappear from the doorway, Talos had to ask one last question of his urgency.
"What will happen to me if that stone is crushed?"
"Hmm-" the mercenary's long tail note lifted Talos's heart, "Probably like being electrified close to your maximum endurance, right?" But don't worry, it won't really affect your body, it will only make you feel that pain at best. β
Talos's whole body wilted like a frosted eggplant.
As soon as she walked out of the ward, Reine's face sank, and Apaya, who had been paying attention to her emotions, noticed this for the first time.
"What's wrong?"
"They just made me think of something." Reins pursed her lips, "That magic array...... It's definitely more than just gathering souls and triggering traps, I need to go to Ella. β
That magic array must have been a ploy by Roseos as well...... Although it was presented directly in front of her eyes by a large thorn, maybe it was just a trick, but if they didn't care about it, the people of Roseos would do something with that magic array.
Now it's all about ...... Find out what that magic circle does.
