Chapter 266: Winter Day
Long black hair, crimson eyes, a beautiful face that resembles a few points like Summer Night, and a body curve that is almost indistinguishable from Summer Night except for the chest.
This is the lord of Debusota City, and at the same time, she is also a girl with the same appearance as her sister in Summer Night's memory.
The city lord's pace was not fast, but with every few steps, her figure would be engulfed by the sudden burst of fire, and when she reappeared, she had teleported a considerable distance forward. In a matter of moments, she had crossed more than half the distance.
An exclamation of "ah" sounded around her on a summer night, and she turned her head to find that Lillian had returned to her side at some point.
"Sister Summer Night, be careful! That's, that's ......."
- That's Victoria.
Lillian was referring to the figure behind the city lord. The figure was suspended in mid-air, bound by chains made of several black flames, and his body was covered in scars, although the clothes had long been torn to tatters, it was still possible to distinguish that it was the dress Victoria wore after her "transformation".
Victoria hung her head down, her bloodstained hair falling down and covering her face, and even though Summer Night knew she wasn't dying so easily, it was hard not to be uneasy not to look like this.
Summer Night knew that Victoria had been fighting against the Great Witch of "Aether Exploration" alone in the past few days, but she didn't expect that it would be the city lord who would make the final move. Moreover, the strength of the city lord is far beyond her expectations, in the mind of Summer Night, Victoria is already a near-invincible existence, but now ......
The air nearby seemed to freeze, and it was clear that the other party had not done anything, and everyone was already nervous and held their breath.
When he was still about a hundred meters above the ground, the city lord stopped, his crimson eyes glancing down coldly, and finally, he stopped on the summer night.
Summer Night also looked at each other, trying to find a trace of her sister in her memory from the girl, but she failed.
At this time, the city lord slowly spoke in a sentence-like tone:
"After a joint investigation by the Ministry of Security of 'Ether Exploration' and the Seventh Subsidiary of Ether Exploration Venture Capital and the submission of an investigation report, deliberation by the Board of Directors of Ether Exploration, and finally approval and approval by me, the city lord of Debussota, I officially declare on behalf of the company:
"On a summer night, you have been accused of stealing core assets owned by the city lord and the company, including:
"One, one body. The ownership of the body belongs to the director of the board of directors of the company, 'Summer Night', and after the director 'Summer Night' became incapacitated, the body was inherited by his sister, me, in accordance with the relevant regulations of Debussota. ”
"Two or three unnamed objects in the shape of a 'head'. The item was kept in the 'Aether Exploration' K6-level laboratory, where it was stolen by Project Director Mosha during the experiment and traded into Summernight's possession.
The main people involved in the above theft include: Victoria, the director of the board of directors of 'Ether Exploration', Mosa Biotech, the chairman of Mohs Biologics, and you, Summer Night.
"According to Article 24 of Chapter 2 of the De Bussota Company Property Law and Article 10 of Chapter 7 of the Urban Security Code, the security of the core assets of 'Ether Exploration' is closely related to the security of De Bussoe TC City, and any infringement of the core assets of 'Ether Exploration', including but not limited to theft, robbery, embezzlement, etc., not only constitutes an infringement of the ownership of the property of 'Ether Exploration', but also constitutes a danger to the entire De Bussota society, and 'Ether Exploration' has the right to take any coercive measures that the company deems necessary against any person involved in the case.
"Now that the company has taken its due steps with Victoria and Mosa, the next thing is you – Summer Night.
……”
At the same time that the city lord read out the crimes of the summer night, everyone on the "Moby Dick" also entered a state of readiness for battle.
The whaling cannon is aimed at the enemy, and Yaha enters the "Red Knight" state, a huge eyeball floating over the bridge, and the tentacles in the center of the deck are ready to attack; Farther in the sky, several black dots were approaching at high speed with the roar of ramjets, and the Raiding Witches were approaching from the patrol route.
Beside her, Lilian's eyes suddenly lost their luster, and the whole person seemed to be a doll in a dormant state, hanging her head and no longer moving. Summer Night knew that more "Lilian" was coming under the cover of the "Blind Sight" contract in a position that she couldn't see, and maybe one of them had already lurked close to the city lord.
But the lord of the castle did not react to these actions from beginning to end, and she read the long sentence slowly and logically, and when she finished the last word, Summer Night spoke almost immediately after:
"Can I defend myself?"
The other party didn't seem to expect her to make such a request, and after a few seconds of silence, she bowed slightly:
"Yes, but only for a minute."
Summer Night couldn't help laughing, she remembered that when she first crossed into this world, she had also defended herself, but at that time the object was Luca and Lillian, and at this time the object was the city lord; At that time, she was accused of three months' rent arrears, and at this time she owed three heads to Aether Exploration.
"It doesn't take a minute." She said, "I have only one sentence of defense: I am 'Summer Night', which is not only the summer night of the past as the director of 'Aether Exploration' and your own sister, but also the summer night now; This body is my body, these three heads are my heads, and these belong to me - I have not stolen any of the company's property. ”
Perhaps the word "sister" stimulated the nerves of the city lord, the corners of the other party's eyes raised, and the expression on his face suddenly warmed up from indifference to anger:
"You're still pretending to be your sister! You're nothing like her except for stealing her shell! Let alone...... Not to mention that someone has already presented me with evidence...... Now I'm no longer confused by your appearance, you're not a sister at all, you-"
The city lord suddenly raised his hand, and the black flames in the sky boiled. On the deck, several thick tentacles glowing with emerald green fluorescence shot into the sky—only to shrink back under the control of the summer night's consciousness.
"Winter Day."
Summer Night interrupted the city lord's words with a name, and at the same time, the other party's movements stopped instantly.
"I used to have a younger sister whose name was 'Winter Day', and she had exactly the same height, the same face, and the same hair color and eye color as you. I'm thinking...... Your name should also be called 'Winter Day', right? ”
The city lord was stunned in place, and after a while he remembered to speak:
"You... Why do you know my name? Obviously, there are not many people...... Who told you that? Victoria? Right...... It must be her ......."
Summer Night saw the wavering on the other party's face, which confirmed her suspicions, but also made her heart sink quickly—since 'Winter Day' was indeed her name, then the girl in front of her was probably indeed her sister. However, she is obviously very different from what she remembers......
With a hint of agitation, she interrupted the other party's incoherent words once more.
"I don't know your name! I mean, my sister's name is 'Winter Day'. ”
She forced her gaze at the city lord, and then, almost repeating what the other party had just said:
"—therefore, answer me: why do you bear no resemblance to her except in appearance? My sister has long since died...... So who are you? Or rather, what are you? Why did it occupy her body? ”
