Chapter 88: Tomorrow (7)
Eleanor easily deceived the observer with just a few words, but she forgot one thing: her companion was a local who had been locked up for years and could not go out, while she had just arrived. The two of them were only familiar with two streets in the Zhuwang District.
The observer stretched out his arms and shook the terminal, as if this would load the blank map page. He was still biting a piece of mille-feuille in his mouth, and mumbled: "You didn't say that this place would be so remote that we couldn't receive the signal! And the signal range of the imperial capital is not covered in all directions?!"
He got lost in the middle of eating because of wandering around, and he was still in the Zhuwang District. If this got out, he would definitely be laughed at.
...He didn't want to be popular with Eleanor. He could even imagine the headline, something like "The new executive of Zhuwang District and the bishop accidentally got lost during a secret tryst. They actually..." The media would definitely write nonsense for the sake of popularity!
He felt that the cake in his mouth was no longer delicious.
Eleanor was very optimistic. She waved her hand nonchalantly and answered his question: "How is it possible? How much money will it cost to cover the whole thing? There is no relevant awakened person who can replace the ability, and the top management is still so stingy."
Eleanor forked a small cake from the box. Looking at the silly expression of the observer, she wanted to remind her that she could just teleport back. But she just chewed the cakes in the end, chose to let him continue to embarrass himself and pretended not to know him.
Eleanor turned around, and when she saw something, she suddenly froze, and subconsciously protected the cake box in her hand.
"What's wrong?"
The observer caught a glimpse of her movements as if she was facing a powerful enemy, and stopped debugging the terminal in confusion, "Someone wants to steal your food? No way, who is so brave?"
Eleanor had turned back again, she tilted her head, "Why don't you just take a look."
Hearing this, the observer looked in the direction she had been before, and then froze, and was then woodenly dragged to the side by Eleanor.
"No, why is Makusuke here?"
"How should I know."
"...Didn't the damn emperor ask you to take him? How come you don't even know where he's going? Who told you to draw the water like this?!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time."
Observer: "......?"
You think I didn't hear you clearly!
"He won't see us, will he?"
"If he sees us, he will." Eleanor resumed her casual attitude, as if the slightly out-of-control person just now had nothing to do with her. "What's wrong with the snack street? Do you look down on the old city?"
Observer: "...It doesn't fit your status."
Eleanor: "What nonsense, why can't bishops and executives squeeze into the market! This is status discrimination!"
Observer:.
Are you poisoned?
"What if they are drawn in?"
"Think positively, maybe it's just a casual passerby, but with the microscopic level of the forum, it is very likely that they will be dug out. But there is another possibility, maybe we will run into them directly later."
The observer's eyes were clear and stupid, "And then queue up with them for snacks?"
Eleanor: "..."
Although she didn't read comics much, there probably wasn't any comic that would draw something like this.
It should be because of something else, but at the moment, she didn't know what would happen, and Eleanor had a bad feeling.
"Hmm... Where did Makisuke go? Youbai and Suodu are missing too." The observer suddenly asked in confusion, muttering a few words, "Why are they out together? Won't something happen if they are photographed?"
Eleanor felt helpless when she heard the second half of his sentence. She raised her hand and pointed in the opposite direction, "No, Youbai and Suodu's identities are still safe for now. Let's go and follow them first."
The observer followed her obediently. Eleanor stopped halfway and lowered her eyes.
No, Makisuke's condition was very strange. His breathing and heartbeat were very chaotic, as if there was a sense of panic. The next second, an overly real pain was transmitted. Eleanor directly pulled the arm of the person next to her, "Something happened."
Although the observer didn't understand, she knew from her reaction that something went wrong with Makisuke. He closed his eyes to adjust to the dizziness brought by the sudden transmission, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in front of an abandoned building, and heard a faint sound not far away.
"Why is it Fran Valley?" Eleanor was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it should be Guiyi's instruction. She was about to tell the observer, but turned around and saw him looking seriously at the electronic screen, which was broadcasting the situation on Makisuke's side.
Eleanor: “…”
Eleanor: “…What is this?”
“A panel specially equipped for the system.” The observer explained a few more sentences to her, “It can also monitor your physical condition in real time, and can connect to the federation’s main network.”
Eleanor understood. If you round it off, it’s actually similar to the terminal, except that it’s about them.
"The situation is not good."
The observer who was more concerned about the main topic split another screen. He looked at the changing body data and his expression gradually became worried. Eleanor's focus was a little off. "The panel can be split? Then you can watch while playing?"
Observer: "Three folds, there is always face."
Observer: "No, can you pay attention to Makisuke? He can't hold on any longer!"
Eleanor lowered her eyes slowly after hearing this, and she looked at the broadcast screen. There is no point in comparing the gap between high-level awakeners and predators, let alone young people who are still growing up, and the man in front of him has been at ease from beginning to end.
If it was a normal awakener, he would have died here long ago. Makisuke used his talent to the extreme and fought desperately to barely get a respite, but it was still not enough.
It was like a game of cat and mouse. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. He could only helplessly bear such a fate.
When blood overflowed from the corner of the young man's mouth, Eleanor suddenly said, "Go help him."
"Who? Me?"
The observer pointed at himself. He widened his eyes in disbelief and was so scared that he almost turned off the screen. "Are you kidding?! What am I going to do? To give away experience?"
"You don't want such a good opportunity to appear?" Eleanor smiled with interest, "And I'm not really letting you deal with him alone. I will help you."
"…I don't want to. There's a predator on the other side. It would be easy for him to kill me."
"So, if you can become a predator, you'd be willing to go?"
He was about to reply "I'd consider it reluctantly" when Eleanor, with an ambiguous smile, kicked him into the scene. The observer who was forcibly transferred had a blank mind the moment he saw the changes in front of him.
The observer subconsciously suppressed his horrified expression and maintained his composure, pulling the young man over and taking him away from the danger.
He looked calm and composed, his gilded eyes composing a prayer of praise were dazzling, but revealed dissatisfaction and anger, "You should know that Your Highness is the one I brought back."
If something happened to Makisuke, no one could guarantee whether the emperor would be angry with the church, after all, the church is now associated with the vigil.
And the vigil who failed in his duty needs to be held accountable.
But the observer was only calm on the surface, in fact, he was now knocking people madly in Eleanor's sea of consciousness.
Help, help, why am I here! Damn Dorota, I will never let you go!
"Stop making noise." Eleanor responded coldly. She manipulated the shadow to extend until it completely permeated the ground under Fran Gu's feet before continuing, "The fusion of talents can help Makisuke very well. You can try to make him adapt better."
"...Why don't you come?"
"I'm helping you. Anyway, you can't avoid being on the scene. Isn't it good to create an image of a strong protector?"
Eleanor's words made a lot of sense, and even the observer himself almost believed her lies. She slowly added the content that she hadn't said in full: "I'm afraid I can't help but kill the person directly."
That won't do. If Fran Gu died like this, where would she find another predator criminal who could be solved without considering the pressure of public opinion? It's impossible to pick another one out of the tower.
"So I can only trouble you."
The intertwined shadows swirled up, like a pitch-black cage with cold restraints, covering the plunderer's eyes that were gradually fading from a smile.
In just a few seconds, a crack appeared on the surface of the black cage, and began to expand outward.
A bony hand reached out from it and forcibly tore the shadow cage that had become solid, revealing the cold pupils behind it, which shrank slightly due to excitement.
"The night watch is also here." Franco walked out of the shadowy weaving product slowly, with a smile on his lips, "Why doesn't she come out? Is she afraid?"
His words seemed to hide a deeper meaning, but unfortunately the confused pastor had no intention of thinking. Blood flowed down his forehead, and he was supported by the bishop in time so that he did not faint on the ground. The young man stood up again and thanked the people around him.
The observer paid attention to the movements of the person on the other side. He looked at Makisuke and frowned, saying, "Don't push yourself too hard."
Makisuke shook his head. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to mobilize the talent in his perception, the bishop grabbed his arm and stopped him. "Wait a minute."
"You can try to control the pollution." The bishop guided him to think more. Makisuke, who was still in the process of exploring his own talent, might not even understand the nature of purification, let alone guess the relationship between talent and pollution.
What did the dog emperor think? He didn't teach himself. Could it be that he wanted the night watchman, who also knew little, to lead him?
The Observer wanted to tell him everything he knew, but the situation was really urgent, so he simply told him: "You shouldn't use your talent for purification."
To be precise, he shouldn't focus only on this aspect, as his talent clearly has a better chance of growth.
Shadows intertwined from the ankles, forming a completely different gentle barrier, like flowing water waves, blocking all damage.
The Observer realized that Eleanor wanted to create opportunities for him. She would not show up, but she would provide sufficient security. He simply continued: "You are just using it."
"If there is no connection between the awakened and the weird, why can you exert influence at the same time? You should have doubted it."
"You know what it is."
Pollution, only pollution.
"Don't just follow your instincts. The purpose of talent is not just to remove the pollution. You know it better than others. After all, it exists in your body."
"You realized a long time ago that purification is only a part of talent, it does not represent the whole thing." The bishop grabbed the young man's shoulders and forced him to look at him. He asked calmly, "You know that you are different from His Majesty's other children, right?"
He is a completely unexpected existence. He perfectly inherited the purest talent of the royal family. Not only can he purify, he can also control pollution like a monarch.
But he also awakened another ability at the same time. His value was overturned from the original definition, and no one could rashly evaluate it.
At that banquet, even though most people were afraid of unity, after learning this, many people still expressed their willingness to help.
He foreshadows infinite possibilities and the future.
"This is your greatest advantage, why do you want to hide it? What are you afraid of?"
"Don't run away anymore, Makisuke."
