Chapter 247: Wanted in the City
"You can put me down first." Summer Night said, "I'll fly by myself." β
Curran nodded, tossing the summer night from his shoulder to the side. The summer night unfurled the broom in the air, and at this moment, Tang Li's exclamation of "ah" came from the other side.
She turned her head to look and found that Tang Li had been thrown out by another Curran.
Fortunately, the girl reacted quickly enough, and a broadsword suddenly appeared under her and caught her steadily.
βοΌβ Tang Li sat on the sword and looked at Curran with a puzzled expression.
"I'm sorry...... "I'm not used to multitasking, and sometimes one of Curran's movements can affect the other." β
"Oh......" Tang Li curiously stretched out his hand, pinched Curran's arm, and exclaimed: "Cool and hard, you have really become a puppet!" β
"I said I'm not a puppet...... the two Currans said in unison.
"That'...... It should be called 'Flower Witch', right? "Summer Night remembers what Curran told her before.
This time Curran nodded: "Well, Susha's experiment was successful, but it's not the same as I thought before." I thought it was a contract to control the dolls, but it turned out that my body spread out and became them. β
Curran didn't explain any further, and now was not the time to elaborate, Summer Night was flying at high speed, thinking about it, and after a moment he asked, "How many of you are there now?" β
"Seventeen." Curran said.
"And where are the other fifteen?"
"Thirteen of them organized the evacuation at the company and the docks, and the other two were out of my control, and I don't know where they were."
This sentence is equally informative, and Summer Night thought about it for a while, and decided to ask the most important thing first: "What is the evacuation going on?" We're running away now? And the ...... that exploded just now."
Rumble!!!!!!!!!!
Another loud bang interrupted the summer night, and she turned her head to look, and behind the side, near Midtown, a huge black fireball rose into the sky.
From the first time she saw it, Xia Ye had an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart, and now, she finally remembered:
"Could that be ......?!"
"That's right, Lillian's blew up." Curran said with a smirk.
ββ¦β¦ Yes? β
"But don't worry, she has so many bodies, it's easy to change, and it doesn't matter how many you fry."
Lilian has a lot of bodies, and it's not convenient to change them at all, Summer Night thought to herself, but that was before, it seems that it is different now, and most of it is also the result of Susha.
According to Susa, the "node" has something in common with the Flower Witch, and she borrowed a Lilian's body to study it.
"So...... Were those explosions blocking the enemy's pursuit? Summer Night guessed.
"Well, almost."
Boom ββ!!!
There was another explosion, this time much closer, and the aftermath swept in, causing the brooms of several people to shake violently, and it was clear to the summer night that several witches had just taken off before they were engulfed in black flamesβall of them wearing identical black masks.
"Those Black Masks are operators of the Aether Exploration Security Department." Curran said.
"Last time it was the VC department, this time it's the security department...... So what is it that provokes them this time, and they want to hunt us down? β
Curran shook his head: "It's not the Ministry of Security that is chasing us, it's the entire 'Aether Exploration' and all the companies it holds, in other words, the entire Uptown and most of the Midtown are now our enemies." β
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Ye was silent for a few seconds, and finally thought of what had been wrong since she woke up: "How long have Tang Li and I been asleep?" β
"About a month."
"A month!?" This time, Tang Li and Xia Ye were surprised together.
"Mother clearly said that after we return here, it may not even be a second...... Tang Li whispered.
Summer Night was quick to accept the fact: "It was at the edge of a black hole, and a small error can lead to a very large deviation...... It turns out that so much time has passed, no wonder I woke up and found that everything was different. So, what exactly happened during this month? β
"It's too complicated to go into detail right now...... This way! The two Currans suddenly lowered their broomsticks and plunged headlong into the buildings below.
Summer Night and Tang Li hurriedly followed. While controlling the broom to pass through the gaps between the buildings on the summer night, he shouted to Curran in front of him: "Then say it simply~"
"To put it simply, the Board of Directors of Aether Exploration passed a motion a few days ago formally accusing you of 'stealing the company's core assets' and issuing a wanted warrant authorizing any employee affiliated with Aether Exploration or its holding company to arrest you and those associated with you in any way necessary, whether dead or alive, and of course, if alive, the bounty is much higher...... In short, because of this directive, the situation in these days can almost be described as war. β
After listening to Curran's explanation, Summer Night's first reaction was: "Core assets? What does that mean?"
"Aether exploration did not explain in the announcement, in fact, why the other party suddenly reacted so much, I also tried to understand through various channels, but I didn't get any useful information at all."
"It can't be because it's Moby Dick." While flying, Xia Ye analyzed, "If it was because of this, they would have done it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have to wait until now." β
"That's why I don't know what to do...... Slow down in front, we'll pick up someone. β
"Pick up someone?"
Summer Night was wondering when she saw Curran deft into a narrow alley, and then pulled up vertically until it was about a hundred floors, and then suddenly stopped.
It was an ordinary balcony, corresponding to an ordinary apartment, and almost as soon as the four of them arrived, a crimson beam of light shot into the room.
The beam of light was so fast and faint that if you didn't pay attention, you would think it was your illusion, but a moment later, footsteps were heard in the room, and a petite girl in a cute dress pushed open the door and walked onto the balcony, and when she saw the summer night, a smile immediately bloomed on her pretty face.
"Sister Summer Night!"
Lillian cheered, ran two steps, and flew straight from the balcony. Summer Night hurriedly opened her arms, and Lillian crashed into her arms, causing the broom floating in the air to sink slightly.
"Long time no see." Although Summer Night's heart was pounding, she still spoke in a calm tone.
Lillian looked up from her bosom, her blue eyes sparkling with water, and she looked at the summer night in a daze, and after a long while, she said softly:
"Well, long time no see, Sister Summer Night, you're finally awake."
"Ahem...... We've got to go. Curran's voice interjected "out of place".
"Sister Lilian, if you don't have a broomstick, you can sit on my sword, there are quite a few empty seats here." Tang Li kindly reminded.
"No, her broom is with me."
Curran pulls out a folded broom from the storage box inside his body, which is the Doxster718 that Summer Night gave to Liliane.
Lillian turned her head pitifully, staggering their gaze for a few seconds.
"Oh, got it......"
Before he could finish speaking, the broom had already been thrown by Curran, and Lillian had no choice but to catch it, and with some reluctance to get out of Summer Night's arms, unfold the broom and sit down.
"Let's go." Curran then said.
"Where are you going?"
"Distant boat rental, hopefully it hasn't been blown to the ground yet."
Thank you for the reward that Klee-chan is not 1536, and the sunset wine is far away, thank you guys~
