Chapter 54: Disappearance
"President, do you see Qilu?" asked Sixteen Nights anxiously as she ran into Peach's office. The rune he cast on Qilu www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion disappeared again.
Qilu is a child who was rescued from a fantasy by Sixteen Nights a few months ago, and he can't remember his name.
Since he has the word "Kill'Somnium" on his hand, Sixteen Nights can't be sure if he is Somnium, so he simply refers to him as Kill.
And the one who was called Peach was a gentle young woman who wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which made her look extraordinarily intellectual. She is the president of the Sunflower Guild.
"Qilu, I didn't see it, let me help you ask the patrolling vole!" But because he has a keen five senses and excellent eyesight, he "raised" it as a mobile monitor for the Sunflower Guild.
Peach took out a sound bell and talked to the vole.
She then shrugged her shoulders at Sixteen Nights, indicating that the voles didn't see Qilu either.
Sixteen Night sighed, turned to leave Peach's office, and walked towards Qilu's room. He seemed to have a feeling of uneasiness, and now wanted to confirm it immediately.
Ever since he left the illusion with him, he hadn't spoken. Moreover, he will disappear from time to time, but it will not be long before he appears.
Thinking of this, Sixteen Nights placed a positioning rune on his body.
Lately, Qilu has been disappearing for longer and longer, and Sixteen Nights has a hunch that if he can't find the boy this time, he may never find him again.
This boy has the clues they are looking for, so he must protect himself.
Sixteen nights opened the door, and the room was empty.
The windows opened widely, and the wind blew in from outside, raising the curtains high. The flickering curtains misrepresented the light and shadow, which dazzled Sixteen Nights.
This house originally belonged to Peach, but it was only recently given to Qilu.
The base color of the whole room is pink, but Sixteen Nights thinks that the color of this room is dazzlingly white. I don't know if it's because of the fading over time, or if the light is too dazzling.
"Hey, where did this kid go!" Sixteen Night sighed and silently closed the door.
The wind stirred the curtain and shook again, and the light outside the window seemed to be less dazzling. Qilu appeared behind the curtain with the doll in his arms, tilting his head and staring wide-eyed. He said to himself:
"Let's go, Pierro, it's time to work. ”
The figure behind the curtain flickered, and then disappeared completely in the next moment.
A few days later, an emergency meeting of the Magic Council***
"In this mission, the Sunflower Guild refuses to participate in the rescue!" Peach slapped the table and stood up resolutely.
"No, you must go!" a high-pitched woman shouted, her voice as piercing as nails hanging over a chalkboard. She is the temporary head of the Rose family, Jian Lanchun, that is, the stepmother of Dove and Mu He, and Sansan's mother.
Half a year ago, the committee took over a commission to rescue a high-ranking official of a certain country who had fallen into a fantasy world. Because of the great revenge, the Magic Council took it.
Originally, I thought that this kind of task would be a bit troublesome at best, but it would not be a difficult task. But what I didn't expect was that something went wrong this time.
Due to the high pay, many people who want to take on tasks come one after another. Although there is a precedent for the Commission to assign multiple teams on a single mission, it is obviously unrealistic for hundreds of people to participate together.
In the end, as agreed within the Committee, it was decided that only 20 persons would be issued with mission certificates, and it was stated that the final remuneration would be given only to the group that completed the task the fastest.
I thought it would be a simple but time-consuming task. Unexpectedly, half a year has passed, but there is no news of these twenty people.
The Magic Council had sent someone to investigate, but the results of the investigation had not been announced.
But the problem cannot be hidden.
Some families have unique spells, and they can accurately know the life and death of their clansmen - such as the Rose family.
Their current head of the house, the dove's father, has been confirmed dead in the course of this mission.
Probably because of this, the shrill woman shouted hysterically.
"Chairman, with all due respect," Peach ignored the woman, she turned to the chairman of the committee, Cocoon Yuan, and said, "It's the Magic Committee that has taken over this task, and it has nothing to do with the Sunflower Guild. If the Chairman wants to use guild duty to exert pressure, the Sunflower Guild is no longer allied with the Magic Council. ”
The members of the Sunflower Guild are all elites, and their strength is unfathomable. Chairman Cocoon Yuan has a hunch that the Sunflower Guild is not a thing in the pool.
After weighing left and right, Cocoon Yuan decided to let the Sunflower Guild do his best.
However, Jian Lanchun didn't do it. She messed around at the meeting and made everyone unhappy. She accuses Peach of being selfish, but she never thinks about how ugly her face is now.
Peach refuses to be rescued because she knows that nineteen people have already died in the illusion.
Her abilities are related to life. Under normal circumstances, she would not go to the front easily. Everyone in the Sunflower Guild has runes under the peach cloth, and with these runes, the peach is able to sense their life and death.
If a guild member is in danger, Peach can recall them as soon as possible. The Sunflower Guild is highly defensive, and it is completely safe there.
Before the departure of this entrusted mission, Cocoon Yuan also had a bad premonition. But the benefits made him reluctant to stop this mission, and in order to ask for peace of mind, he asked Peach to help.
Peach also laid runes for those twenty people, but it was only a simplified version, so it could only perceive life and death, and could not be recalled.
"You slut......" Jian Lanchun was still shouting and scolding. Those magic committee members don't stop it, they are worried now, if Jian Lanchun can annoy the peach and make her agree to make a move, it will naturally be the best.
Such ugly words made the peach, which had always been calm, feel like a breeze, but the other sunflower representative sitting on the side was not happy.
"You're a fart!" the gray-haired man next to Peach slapped the table, "Go and go, and make a wool!"
Peach helplessly held her forehead, muttering in her heart that she shouldn't take him out today.
This man is none other than Sunflower's mobile monitor, the vole. He was a sane beast, and because his mind was not bad, Peach let him run the guild.
And don't underestimate the vole, he is the vice president of the Sunflower Guild alongside Sixteen Nights.
Hearing the vole say this, Jian Lanchun suddenly stopped making trouble. However, there was no expected happiness on her face, and she just sat down silently.
"Uh...... Peach, her reaction was so strange. "The vole has a mind but doesn't understand the human heart, and he doesn't understand why Jian Lanchun suddenly stopped making noise.
Peach's eyes were slightly condensed, she was silent for a long time, and said, "Since this is the case, we will take over the rescue mission." ”
