Chapter 139: Is Your Highness hiding something?
—This doesn't seem like a good time, Lilith thought as she walked into the room where Louis was.
Colin was not there. Xie Huan was standing beside her with his back to her, looking a little tired.
"Your Highness, I believe I have made it clear that the existing equipment is insufficient for the exploration team to safely explore the depths of the contaminated area."
"But the contaminated area is expanding. If we can't find the source of the pollution and contain it, one day even this base will become unsafe. Professor Xie, how can you guarantee that the contaminated area won't spread to the Central Star in a month, six months, or a year?"
Louis sneered. He saw Lilith's figure, glanced at her eyes and hair, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, turned his head away, and continued to say to Xie Huan,
Xie Huan retorted reflexively,
"That's impossible!"
If the contaminated area expanded to the central planet, how thick would the fog be? No matter how you think about it...
"Nothing is impossible. In just six months, the contaminated area has expanded five times more than it did in the previous twenty years."
If he had not been in charge of the relevant data of the cube, it would have been difficult for him to discover this subtle change. Of course, this matter could not be exposed for the time being, so as not to cause panic among the people.
Xie Huan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said,
"If you insist, I will provide a batch of newly developed potential enhancement drugs. However, without clinical trials, I cannot guarantee that they will not have other serious side effects."
Is Xie Huan admonishing Louis? Lilith breathed softly at the serious and oppressive atmosphere.
Louis nodded.
"All the sentries in the exploration team have agreed to become test subjects for the potion. Let them rest for a day. Then, I need to know the source of the contamination as soon as possible."
"I understand, Your Highness."
Xie Huan bowed, turned around and saw Lilith wearing a mask. He nodded slightly and walked around her to go out.
There was no one else in the room. Louis put his hand on his chin and glanced at her.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? Would androids be scared by contaminated areas? If you want to withdraw, just tell Colin."
It was Louis who forced her to join the investigation team, but now, the other party suddenly changed his attitude, inexplicably,
Lilith shook her head.
"No, I mean, I want to continue exploring the contaminated area with the exploration team."
This was a decision she made after careful consideration. After all, if she gave up now, she didn't know when she would be able to reach S-rank.
Louis was a little surprised, but when he thought about it being a android, he didn't seem surprised. After all, those disgusting guys in the Federation might have made it impossible for them to retreat when they set up the underlying program.
His recent dreams were too chaotic. Occasionally he could sleep soundly all night, and sometimes his dreams were peaceful and tranquil.
But yesterday, things suddenly became horrifying and terrifying. He seemed to see his sister being chased by something and dragged into an endless abyss.
That's why Louis had Robbins, Weir, and Xie Huan discuss this for almost the entire night. He had a feeling that he might be able to find her soon.
Therefore, the Sentinel's potential stimulating potion must be promoted as soon as possible.
"It's up to you. Is there anything else? If not..."
"have!"
Perhaps it was Louis's slightly gentle tone that made Lilith feel that she could be bolder. She lowered her voice and spoke as if to verify.
"Your Highness, have you ever been deep into a contaminated area?"
Louis doesn't look like a well-behaved child. Since he cares so much about his sister's words, it's impossible for him to just listen to his personal guards and stay in the base quietly and do nothing, right?
How can the investigations of others compare to going to the contaminated area and taking a look yourself?
Lilith felt that if her friends or close ones disappeared in the contaminated area, she would definitely try to go deep into the area to look for them, no matter how dangerous it was.
So she also doubted Louis,
The next second after he finished speaking, the blond youth's blue eyes immediately became dangerous. Although the color was clear, under the bright overhead light, they looked like snake pupils.
"What did you see?"
Some strange questions, what can she see?
Lilith was a little confused, but soon, Louis discerned the confusion on her face and sneered.
"So I was just guessing. Yes, I have indeed been to the contaminated area. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Louis did not approach, but his spirit body rolled up the girl, and the cold snake scales wrapped around her waist, causing her breathing to become stagnant.
This is a dangerous topic. Lilith has realized this, but she still doesn't want to give up. Louis's behavior is very strange. He seems to know a lot of secrets.
"Your Highness, don't you want to find your sister?"
Lilith spoke quickly, so as not to be thrown out by the unpredictable prince.
"You said my spirit body is very similar to hers. Then, maybe I can sense her, as long as she is still alive."
"She must be alive."
Louis repeated it word for word. He stared into Lilith's eyes. The deliberately disguised gray-blue pupils were annoying to him.
He obviously hated the fact that the android in front of him was using his sister's face, but when she really pretended to be in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"You don't need to hide your eyes in front of me. They are really ugly."
It's ugly, but you're still staring at me... Lilith wanted to roll her eyes speechlessly, but after all, her life was in someone else's hands. She smiled and said perfunctorily,
"Yes, she is still alive and has been waiting for you to find her. So, Your Highness, please tell me what happened after you separated from your sister. That way, I can be prepared."
Her body was suddenly released. Lilith stood firm, prepared for this. She glanced angrily at the golden-scaled snake. The huge cold-blooded animal spit out its tongue, and its forked tongue almost licked her cheek.
Lilith stiffened for a moment and looked away.
Louis put his hands lightly on his head, as if lost in memories.
"She told me to run, but she was swept away by something. I tried to chase her, but Colin, who was late, stopped me."
"Later, I was placed under guard. As the second heir, after my sister disappeared, those ministers wanted to keep their eyes on me."
"It wasn't until I came of age that I formed the Far March Army, using the excuse of defeating the Federation and training an army. The sky is high and the grounds are distant, so they can't control me."
"But Colin refused to let me enter the contaminated area. He said that if I insisted on going my own way, even if it meant disobeying orders, he would definitely ask the Queen to put me under house arrest."
"I agreed on the surface, and the next day, while Colin was reporting on his work, I secretly entered the thick fog."
