Chapter 183 Whose Lie?
Time is urgent, but not too hasty. For some things, even if you are fully prepared, you cannot guarantee absolute safety.
The contaminated area is ever-changing. It was only the second time I entered the source of the pollution, and such a big change had already occurred. If I delayed it any further, perhaps things would get worse.
Jayne stood aside with his head down, seemingly not very interested in anything.
"Captain, why are you calling us all out so suddenly and seriously? Is there a mission that can't be discussed tomorrow morning?"
The rest of the team members were also confused.
"Yeah, and they even asked us to put on all our gear. Are we heading into the contaminated area? Aren't they saying it's forbidden to enter at night?"
Robbins was silent for a moment, exhaled slowly, and shook his head.
"I don't know either, but His Highness asked me to gather you together."
It was so deep in the night, the moon hung high in the sky, a tiny corner missing from its edge, and the clear light fell on the cold instruments. Everyone felt the tension belatedly.
Not far from the cube, twelve people occupied the positions on both sides. Si Jue straightened his back and looked at the distance. Next to him, Shen Jiaxu's eyes swept over him.
He looked so badly injured yesterday, but he is full of life today. If it's not because the weapons team has made a new breakthrough in the medicine, then he must have received intensive treatment.
If it's for intensive treatment, there's only one candidate. Why is she so gentle to everyone?
The chestnut-haired young man sneered, his eyes lowered so that his expression could not be seen.
When Lilith appeared, most people gathered around.
"R? Are you okay? Did I scare you earlier? Sorry, we..."
"Are you going on a mission too? The contaminated area is very dangerous at night. You can't take any risks."
The sentries rushed over, and Si Jue and Shen Jiaxu were pushed to the back. Qi Hanxing behind her jumped over.
"Hey, don't get so close to her, you're almost sticking to her!"
"It doesn't matter."
Lilith held up her hand to indicate that she was fine. Her eyes swept across the people in the elimination group. Although they had not been together for too long, their friendship in life and death situations was enough for her to trust her teammates.
She took a deep breath.
"Let's go, we still need to meet up with another team member."
"There's another team member?"
Lilith didn't explain. She left this troublesome matter to His Royal Highness the Prince. She only needed to make supplementary arrangements.
She glanced back and saw that the base seemed exceptionally quiet late at night.
Light footsteps landed on the ground and stopped just before reaching the cube. A tall figure wearing the same butterfly mask leaned against the huge spirit body and looked up with some annoyance.
“Too slow.”
His voice was as elegant as ever, tinged with arrogance. Lilith turned her head to look at the shocked Robbins and almost wanted to cover her face.
How could Louis escape with just such a perfunctory disguise? Even if the other teammates couldn't recognize him, wouldn't Robbins, who always reports, not know that the person in front of him is the only heir to the empire?
"temple……"
"Don't you want to introduce yourself?"
Lilith quickly interrupted Robbins's blurt-out address and blinked helplessly at the blond youth.
The other party took out a badge from his pocket, which was somewhat similar to the one Colin wore on his waist. It was a status symbol that only members of the royal family could have, but compared to Louis's own, it lacked a key part.
"I'm... His Highness's special commissioner. He received information from this R. The source of the contaminated area has appeared and has become a separate, smaller world. If it's allowed to expand, there will be serious consequences. We need to eliminate it."
Louis also seemed to be able to tell lies easily. He looked at Lilith nonchalantly, then his eyes stingily fell on Robbins, giving him a warning look, as if to warn him not to reveal his identity.
"What? The source of pollution?"
Even the members of the investigation team themselves don’t know the origin of the matter, how could R know it so clearly?
Lilith received some doubtful looks and glared at Louis fiercely. This guy was too lazy to talk and just mixed her up.
"Well, actually, I went out secretly these past two days because I had something I wanted to verify, so I entered the contaminated area after midnight."
"But the contaminated area is very dangerous at night. There are countless monsters, powerful curses, and forces that can cause people to lose control!"
Jayne retorted without hesitation. He was not targeting Lilith, but he just didn't understand why she suddenly said such a thing.
His eyes were fixed on the girl in a dark blue uniform. The belt around her waist contained a small positioning weapon and healing potion.
"No, at least I didn't encounter the danger you mentioned at night. Did you really see it with your own eyes?"
Lilith asked back. Jayne wanted to answer, but couldn't think of a suitable answer. Robbins was still struggling with his conscience. Why did His Highness appear next to the cube, and he looked so prepared?
Could it be that today's mission was just a whim of His Highness? Was he bored and wanted to entertain them?
"Oh, yeah, I went into the contaminated area yesterday, but my spirit just felt super tired. I didn't encounter any other pollutants or anything like that."
Qi Hanxing raised a finger and waved,
"What? Where did you come from? Is the contaminated area a place where anyone can just enter?"
Jayne was so angry that he almost jumped up and down.
"Why did you go there too? You really don't take His Highness's rules seriously!"
In fact, your Highness was the first one to break the rules, Lilith thought silently in her heart,
Without waiting for everyone's doubts to spread, she walked forward quickly.
"Let's go first. If you have anything to say on the way, tell me. This Louis will explain it to you."
In fact, she wanted to call him "Little Louis", but she didn't use the more teasing name because she was afraid of angering the petty prince.
Robbins was even more certain that the masked young man was their prince, and now, the only heir was planning to enter the danger zone with them in the middle of the night.
How dangerous it is,
"No, I think we need to think about it carefully. Even if R said so, I think we can discuss it again. Even if you find something, we can wait for the people in the elimination team to come together..."
"Robbins, we saw Will deep in the contaminated area yesterday."
Lilith looked back at him, her eyes were extremely helpless and complicated.
"What do you think was the reason why Si Jue was injured last time?"
