Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 88 Roses' Scheme
Prosoya suspects that an important person has died, after all, if it is just an ordinary member, it is not possible to choose an unconventional time to buy it with great fanfare.
And when Rhines got in touch with Mette, he was convinced of this information. After that, she immediately contacted Hua Shao and conveyed to her what she had learned.
"The news from Sister Met, they interfered to a certain extent on Prosoya's side." Reines projected a video image to Hua Shao, "and they got in touch with this person...... Got a stand-in doll, created the illusion that he was dead, and took him away from Prosoya. β
After seeing the faces on the screen, Hua Shao nodded knowingly.
"If it's him, then I'll understand."
Hua Shao seemed to have something to think about, so Rheins turned off the communication.
When getting in touch with Mette, Rheins also got some information from Mette, and this person's status in Prosoya seems to be equivalent to Hua Shao's level in Morfi.
But it's a pity that Molphy can't function like Hua Shao, but it's a little more difficult, and Prosoya doesn't have that person...... It will become a plate of loose sand.
What's that person's name? It seems to be ...... Epivos Klado?
In that case, she should also investigate the situation of this person.
After all, she had always been puzzled by a time difference - the member of the clan heard the news that it was two days before Yura and the others were actually attacked, and it sounded like they had already decided at that time, but why was there a delay of one or two days?
The next day she and Apaya will be heading to the ruins, so it will be enough to attack during daylight the next day at the latest. Why...... It's going to be delayed again.
Her instincts told her that this had absolutely nothing to do with the people who had been taken away by Mette.
And then she thought about it carefully, Rossos knew the time when she and Apaya went to the ruins through Zruo, but with Rossos's caution, would he not investigate Apaya?
The name of Morphy's Chief Engineer shouldn't be too difficult to find, and even if they don't have direct access to it due to the lack of attention paid to this information, it will be very easy for them to investigate.
Is there someone in the middle of this?
She had to make sure that even if it had helped them so far, there was no guarantee that anything would happen in the future.
Just as Rhines was thinking about this, about to do something on her own terms, a call from Apaya interrupted her plans.
In order to ensure that things are not delayed, the results are summarized and reported on a regular basis. This non-routine contact made her feel a little unusual, and although others might not be able to hear it, she could sense that Apaya's voice was a little different than usual, which gave her a bad feeling. Therefore, she decided to put aside her previous plans for the time being and rushed directly to the research institute.
After walking to Gione's base, Reins saw her lover as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.
"What's going on?" She walked quickly to Apaya's side, and naturally reached out and took his arm, "Your voice was strange, like something serious. β
Her words seemed to please Apaya in a way, and Rhines could feel the tension that Aphaya had just felt relaxed. But then, Apaya pulled her in a completely different direction than she had gone to the Institute, until she came to a very secluded location before stopping.
"I just learned that I haven't ......let them see it," Apaya said softly, "and I haven't printed it out yet, just to be on the safe side, I'll tell you the general situation." β
Reins nodded, bringing herself closer to Appaya so that she could hear every word he said without slipping a beat.
Although the statement is not obvious, judging from the tone, they have been calling for dozens or even hundreds of years of historical records about magic and magical beasts, including the relevant content of gods. Moreover, they have been intermittently mobilizing large quantities of supplies, some of which I don't understand the names of the materials, but ...... There is a considerable number of crystal nuclei. β
Speaking of this, Apaya paused, and he reached out and gently stroked Reinse's brow, smoothing out the frowning brow with a slight force.
"They also talked about moving supplies to a certain site and setting up some facilities. Since some of the supplies are operated by this branch, I think we should be able to find some traces to trace next. As long as there are no accidents, the analysis will be completed in three or four days. β
Reins blinked, to analyze the way No. 7 had gone wrong, combined with the previous ideas, and then checked with Smofa to correct the information, especially with the additional information provided by No. 7 privately - this is a huge job.
She touched Apaya's eyes with her fingers, and those light brown eyes were still bright, but they couldn't hide the faint blue-black underneath his eyes.
"You're trying too hard." Reins sighed, "You don't have to stay up late to do it...... You know, there are other ways to get to the bottom of Rossos, and we don't have to wait for the results on your side. β
Appaya pouted a little unhappily, then grabbed her hand that was still on his eye and put it down.
"Are you saying I'm doing useless work?"
Reinse's eyes widened in disbelief and pouted slightly after making sure the other party wasn't joking.
"You know I didn't mean that......"
"So what does that mean?" Apaya looked straight at Rheinz, "If you don't say it, I don't know." β
Reines pursed her lips, she glared at Apaya with some annoyance, but she didn't want to stalemate for too long, so after a while, she exhaled heavily, let go of the hand that was still holding Apaya's arm just now, and then distanced herself from the other party.
"You know I'm worried about your body, and I don't want you to be too tired, but you still say something inexplicable."
Caught between "the other party knows what she means but has to say it" and "but she knows that the other person cares about her, she also wants to hear the other person be able to say it directly", and Reines simply turned her back, looking at the other person's face only made her more inclined to the latter idea, and she didn't want to compromise so easily.
Although every time she thinks about it, she can't hold on to it for various reasons.
Thinking of this, Reins couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and subtly produced a frustrated mood.
However, she was not shrouded in this negative emotion for long, because the other party would not let her lose her temper, and perhaps it was precisely because of this that she became more and more accustomed to not restraining her temperament.
The warmth from behind her made Reins squint in such a way that she couldn't even bother with the other man pushing his chin into her shoulder socket.
"I love hearing you say it." Apaya's voice rang in her ears, his voice still overwhelming her to resist, "You like to hear what I say, don't you." β
The tone of the other party did not have any doubts, and it sounded very positive about what he said. However, this is exactly what happened, and it left Rhines with no way to refute it. Eventually, she sighed and gently stroked the other hand's hand around her waist.
"We're all doing what we can, and while things seem tense, it's definitely not to the point where you need to stay up all night."
Apaya's arm tightened not too hard, and she could feel his head rubbing from side to side, which made Rheins feel a little itchy. Just as she was about to divide Apayaan, the words in her ear distracted her.
"If I do more on my side, you can be less busy."
Almost instantly, Reins once again gave up on her seemingly meaningless insistence.
Well, she expected it a long time ago, didn't she?
"But you should also pay attention to your body." Now that he had decided to give up the stubbornness that he didn't know how to die, Reins simply let himself relax and leaned back into Apaya's arms, "Always overworked, the body can't bear it, right?" β
Appaia replied vaguely, which sounded completely insincere to Rhine.
"Isn't it enough to worry you that once you focus, you can get too tight uncontrollably and even hurt yourself?" Reins was a little annoyed, "Do you think you'll recover on your own or don't you care?" If you continue to overdraft your body like this, your vitality will be fundamentally affected, and you don't care at all? β
She didn't know how to cherish herself, and she didn't know to cherish her Filly. It wasn't until she met Kate and Mette that she paid attention to these things under the kind education of the two seniors. At that time, they had already left a lot of hidden dangers in their bodies, the old wounds left in the past, the damage that had been impacted by the "God's Gift", and the damage of the elements precipitated by the inability to properly control the magic power in the early stage, all of which would have a terrible impact on their lifespan.
After Elian joined them, they slowly adjusted their bodies with Elianne's help. In the days that followed, at Elianne's urging, even if the situation sometimes had to cause some serious wear and tear, everyone also developed the habit of recuperating and recovering afterwards.
Her symbiosis has never been aware of this, and even if she can get Elian to help restore her body for a while, the engineer who has been in and out of the ruins with her many times and has no resistance to magical elements is himself more vulnerable to elemental erosion than others, and his squandering of his body will once again seriously eat away at his life force.
If this kind of thing causes him to come in the futureβ
Reins gritted her teeth angrily, annoyed at her weakness that she couldn't even think about it further.
Obviously, in the past, whether it was herself, her Filly, or anyone, she could calmly face all the consequences of her best efforts - including injury, including death, including everything.
But now, he doesn't even dare to put assumptions on the other party's body.
