Chapter 98 Chapter 89 Betrayal and Deeper Betrayal

Ni Lan was so frightened that her breathing became unstable and she almost exposed herself.

He wanted to turn around and run, but knowing his friend well, he knew that he should not act rashly now.

If you turn around and run away, you will really be discovered.

"Alan."

Pomo's tone was indeed so firm, and he intuitively felt that it was the radar that the boy had turned on that was clicking. He felt that even if Ni Lan was not in this corner, she would be able to hear his voice at this moment.

Of course, the quickest way to test this would be to ask Puezla to come over and open a territory, but he didn't do that.

"Alan, we found her, but for some reason we didn't bring her up. There are some things we need to confirm!"

This was definitely the most stable and accurate time that Bomo's intuition was used. If the person standing here was not Ni Lan, but some other hostile person, something serious would have happened.

Ni Lan shrank back, feeling a little sore in his palms. As he listened to what Bo Mo said, he finally had a clearer understanding of the real time.

However, he should not show up at this time.

Pomo only talked like this for a minute or two. Seeing that you were still unwilling to show up, he became even more frustrated, like a golden retriever that got drenched by the rain in the summer. His tail stopped wagging and his ears drooped.

"Iss and I are leaving. Whatever you are doing, be safe! We will find you soon!"

No matter where Ni Lan went or what kind of danger he faced, they would never give up and would always be by his side.

Ni Lan hugged herself with both hands and pinched the flesh on her shoulders, so that she could control her desire to go out.

It was less than an hour until midnight, and he would soon be heading towards a brand new past. Clinging to the momentary warmth was like playing with fire for him.

The artificial evening breeze blew in gusts, Bo Mo did not move forward, and Ni Lan did not come out either.

After a long stalemate, only a strange tacit understanding increased.

Pomo returned to Puisi, and Puisi waited very patiently without urging him until he came back on his own.

"What did you find?"

"I thought Lan was there just now, but I couldn't find her..."

"...Do you want me to go check it out?"

It was actually Ni Lan? He almost thought that Bomo's intuition came from a gift of supernatural power.

Pomo shook his head.

"I don't think Alan can see us right now."

It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.

Puis was silent for a while. How could Pomo, who was always moving forward both in action and in emotion, suddenly hesitate?

"What does your intuition say?"

"...Alan has something important to do, don't disturb him..."

Bo Mo was very frustrated. He thought that if he just walked a little further he would be able to find Ni Lan, but in the end he did nothing.

Puis patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go and find Abrey. We'll get there sooner or later."

He is very good at waiting and lying in ambush, and at the same time he has enough trust in his partners. Alan knows very well what he is doing and is more determined than him and Pomo in this regard.

As long as they keep moving, they will always meet Ni Lan again.

"I know - I just want Alan to trust me unconditionally for once."

Pomo said this without knowing anything.

What he didn't know was that one day in the future, in that small room, at the end of time, the blue-haired boy would say exactly the same words.

Even if time goes back, even if you no longer remember me, I will still trust you unconditionally.

——

The two failed to find Abreu, and when they arrived at the street where they first saw Abreu, they found that the entire street was blocked.

It was so late, but there were still many people watching the excitement. Pomer and Puis found a high point and could see the Dome Troopers coming in and out of the room in Ebre from a distance.

Not only the Vault Troopers, but also someone who looked like a doctor was there.

"Let me take a closer look."

When the reconnaissance area was just enough to reach the inside of the house, Puis' eyes widened in shock.

Pomer quickly asked what happened.

"Abrey...is dead."

Puis saw the man's body lying in a twisted manner in the middle of the garbage. His legs and arms were removed and stretched straight, intertwined like a snake, and the spurting blood dyed a large area around it red, which was extremely weird.

His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrifying and died with his eyes open.

"Eh? How come?!"

They were only there for one day, and in such a short time, Abre was targeted and killed.

Isn't Abree on the side that is hunting down Rixun? Who is targeting him?

The last time such a weird scene appeared was at the sacrifice site chosen by the Lightless One. Puis frowned, realizing that this trip might be fruitless.

"Let's wait until the Dome Troopers leave before we go in and take a look."

Maybe Abre left some clues behind, but they couldn't just leave like this.

Pomer nodded.

By the time the Dome Troopers had searched the house thoroughly and carried away Abrey's body, it was already late at night.

Finally, they left two people standing at the door to guard the scene, and the others left. The crowd watching the excitement had also dispersed.

The two of them waited patiently for a while, and saw the two Vault Army soldiers start chatting, then dozing off a little before approaching.

Puis eliminated any noise he and Pomeranian might make and climbed in through a window at the back of the house.

As soon as I walked into the room where Abre was staying, I was hit by a strong stench. The Dome Troopers had been rummaging through the garbage for a long time but hadn't touched it. The stench of the garbage mixed with the smell of blood was even more disgusting than the blood pool on Shouyu Island where Pomo had jumped before.

"Es, please look for it..."

Puis also couldn't stand the smell, but when the reconnaissance area was turned on, there was no way to switch to the defense area to isolate the stench.

"good."

The scope of investigation is limited. When it expands to a certain extent, the accuracy will decrease and many things cannot be detected clearly.

But by the same token, if the data is expanded within a certain range, the accuracy will increase exponentially. Puis can even analyze what material a piece of paper in a pile of mixed garbage is made of.

Of course, this also requires a lot of knowledge reserves, otherwise even if you "see" it, you won't be able to recognize it.

Soon, he found something that was very inconspicuous among the pile of garbage.

Puis took out a handkerchief from his pocket and picked up something from the ground.

Pomo leaned over and found that it was something transparent, which was a little difficult to see clearly in the dim environment.

He pulled out his terminal and switched on the flashlight.

"Scales?"

Puis nodded.

"Snake scales, to be exact."

"Could it be..." Pomo almost shouted out loud. Now his and Es's voices were not eliminated. Fortunately, he reacted in time. "Could it be the scales of those red snakes before?"

"Yes, and there are more than just this one. There are many. The red snake must have been here."

Unfortunately, Abre's body had already been sent away, so there was no way to confirm whether there were any marks of being entangled or strangled by snakes or fangs.

"So are we going to look for Abrey's body?"

It's like I'm being led by the nose. I haven't found any useful information in all the days since I came to Siper, but I've been running around non-stop.

But the more times like this happen, the more we cannot let our guard down, because perhaps the truth will appear after the next gap.

Puis put away the handkerchief wrapped around the snake scales, completely unaware that the snake scales emitted a strange light the moment he disappeared from his area.

They quietly left the foul-smelling room.

It was completely contrary to the "cleanliness" and "beauty" of the Hanging Castle. There was a stench and some kind of sin hidden in this place, and no one knew how long it would take to completely eliminate it.

Not long after the two left, Puys's phone rang.

It's already midnight, who could have sent him the message?

"Yun Xiangmei?"

"What happened to him?"

Puis showed off his terminal interface.

"Yun Xiangmei said that Madam Yun wants to see us, the sooner the better."

Why did he meet them at such a coincidence? It was hard for Puys not to guess whether it had something to do with Abrey.

Mrs. Yun should have no hostility towards them. Even if it's because of her status, maybe she can take this opportunity to see Abre's body openly.

"Then let's go!"

——

Clarka originally stood in front of Yun Yingxuan, not wanting to let his dear lady see such a dirty scene.

But Yun Yingxuan pushed him away, but her strength was not strong enough, so he had to move aside.

Yun Yingxuan looked at Abrey, whose face was twisted in death, with no change in expression. Even Clarkia didn't know what the lady was feeling at the moment.

Clarkia also knew this man who died in such a tragic way. They were once colleagues and peers.

He was the deputy commander of the Dome Army, and Abre was the secretary of General Yun Shi, so they were indeed at the same level in terms of position.

But before General Yun Shi disappeared completely, she fired Abrey without any reason, and all those who spoke for him were also thrown out. The army almost got into turmoil because of this incident.

But Clarka didn't know the reason, General Yun Shi warned him before he opened his mouth.

"You'd better not say it, otherwise even if you are my deputy commander, get out of here."

He had been following General Yun Shi for more than ten years and knew that the general always kept his word, so he could only sigh in his heart and at most guess what stupid thing Abre had done to annoy General Yun Shi.

Yun Yingxuan obviously knew the inside story of Abre's death, and was more concerned about the cause of his death than the sadness.

She looked down at the people.

"Have you found out how he died?"

"Forehead..."

"say!"

"Madam, not yet! This person has many strange wounds on his body. The specific cause of death still needs to be investigated... I am incompetent!"

Yunying frowned slightly, but she didn't blame the people below.

"Find out as soon as possible."

"yes!"

The coroner left with Abrey's body, his assistant, and other Dome Army soldiers who were guarding the body. Yun Yingxuan looked at Clarka again.

"Has Xiangmei contacted those two children?"

"Madam, we are here."

"So quick, let them in."
