On the other hand, Rei was pulled over by Astor and Celestia for a chat. After all, as sword spirits, both of them had never seen a race like the Holy Angel and were rather curious about Rei. On the other hand, Rei had never seen a sword spirit before.
However, Tears was in a miserable state. Ever since she returned, Shiroi Kuroko had pulled her aside and lectured her about how she shouldn't have acted rashly. She should have informed them first if something happened and to be cautious in everything … Tears had no choice but to put her palms together and beg Fangzheng for mercy.
"Alright, alright. It's my fault this time. Next time, I will give each of you a personal terminal. Tears was just unlucky."
Upon seeing Tears begging for mercy, Fangzheng stepped in to smooth things over. He wasn't wrong. In fact, if Tears had a personal terminal, she would have definitely contacted the others immediately. Unfortunately, Tears didn't have any means of communication back then. But if it weren't for this, perhaps Rei wouldn't have shared the same fate as her. So, as for whether Tears' luck was good or bad …
She was definitely good.
"Thank you, Mr. Fangzheng!"
At this moment, Tears, who was rescued by Fangzheng, hurriedly thanked him and asked curiously.
"So, Mr. Fangzheng, how's the investigation going? Do you have any results? "
"I think I have a clue now."
Fangzheng shook his personal terminal. After scanning the abandoned core of this mobile city, Fangzheng had indeed obtained another set of coordinates and manufacturing information. However, as the core was dead, most of the information had turned into gibberish and Fangzheng had to use his divine powers to barely activate it before successfully decoding it. But no matter what, even though it was a little troublesome, he still obtained the information that he needed.
"Alright then, we should get going … Where is she?"
"Eh?"
Upon seeing Fangzheng turn to Rei, Tears instantly became anxious.
"Mr. Fangzheng, do you intend to leave her here alone?"
"Of course not. What I mean is, does she have anything to do after she wakes up? Or should I stay by your side? "
Fangzheng remembered that the anime mentioned that Rei was going somewhere, but that world was obviously different from this world, so he wasn't sure about Rei's current situation. At this moment, Ruiko seemed to have returned to her senses. She hurriedly ran to Rei's side and asked in a low voice. After a while, Ruiko raised her head and looked at Fangzheng awkwardly.
"Erm … Mr. Fangzheng?"
"Hmm?"
However, before Lei Zi could say anything, Rei came in front of Fangzheng and stared at him.
"I want to go to Eddie Lu's courtyard."
"Eddie Lu's courtyard?"
Hearing this name, everyone looked at each other, and Rei nodded.
"That place of tranquility is above the sky, within the clouds, unseen. What is there is nothing, and what is there is nothing. Dazzling in gold and jade, free of worries and worries, creating new wealth and establishing a new foundation …."
"Ugh …"
Hearing Rei's description, everyone was dumbfounded. Fangzheng frowned and looked at Felicia.
"Have you heard of Eddie Lu's courtyard?"
"No, I've never heard of such a moving city."
"But the city that Rei mentioned, from the description, should be in the sky! We should be able to help Rei find that place! "
"That's not a problem, but the problem is …"
With that said, Fangzheng shrugged.
"None of us know where Eddie Lu's courtyard is, right?"
"Ugh …"
This time, Ruiko was speechless. Indeed, even Felicia, who was born and raised here, had never heard of such a place, not to mention outsiders like them.
"I …"
At this moment, Rei spoke.
"I can feel … it's calling me …"
Rei said and shifted her gaze to the North.
"Well, it seems that we still have a human radar."
Fangzheng shrugged and stared at Rei sternly.
"So, Rei … can I call you that? I have something to tell you."
"… What's the matter?"
"First of all, you have to know that it's been a long time since your era. 100 years, 200 years, or even longer. Do you understand? You see, no one knows what a Holy Angel is, and no one knows who all of you are. "
Fangzheng pointed at Felicia. At this moment, everyone came to their senses. Although Rei didn't seem to be any different from an ordinary person, come to think of it, she was found in a warehouse in this city. According to Felly, this city had been conquered by the Corrupted Beasts almost a hundred years ago.
In other words, although this young lady looked about the same age as them, she was at least 100 years old!
"So, the Eddie Lu's courtyard that you're looking for is most likely destroyed like this city. Do you understand?"
"…"
Hearing this, Rei hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Even so, you still want to go?"
"Yes … No matter what, I have to go."
"That's fine too."
Fangzheng didn't mind. In his opinion, since it was this world, that courtyard should have the core records that he was looking for.
"Alright then, let's set off now. You can sense it from time to time. If there are any deviations, you can tell me directly. Understand?"
"Okay."
"Alright, let's head back. We're done here."
After receiving Rei's confirmation, Fangzheng didn't have much to say. Since they had to search anyway, wouldn't it be more convenient since they had a human radar?
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, the young ladies responded. Zuotian Leizi sneaked up to Fangzheng and looked at him with a cheeky smile.
"Erm … Mr. Fangzheng?"
"Hmm? What's the matter? "
"Can I go with Rei? After all, you see, she saved my life. Besides, didn't we already … commit to each other? Although I don't know what it means, it means that our fates are connected. Besides, she has been sleeping alone for so many years. I'm afraid she doesn't have any relatives or friends … "
Leizi said softly while looking at Fangzheng with a pleading expression. After all, she was really afraid that Fangzheng wouldn't bring her along because of this incident. Besides, she was really worried about Rei.
"Sure, no problem."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Looking at Zuotian Leizi's excited expression, Fangzheng chuckled. Of course, he wouldn't tell Zuotian Leizi that no matter whether they could find the Eddie Lu's courtyard, Rei wouldn't be able to leave her. When that happened, if Zuotian Leizi brought Rei back to Academy City and INDEX saw it …
When the protagonist took in a harem, most harems would get jealous.
I'd like to see how you're going to clean up this mess.
Leizi didn't know that Fangzheng had this idea in mind. Now that she knew that she could go with Rei to find the so-called courtyard, she was relieved. She hummed a tune and returned to Rei's side.
During this time, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were also very curious. They even suggested to Fangzheng if they should search the entire city to see if there was anything similar to what happened to Rei. However, Fangzheng had already scanned the entire city and didn't find anything. Besides, they only had a few people, so it wouldn't be normal for them to search the entire city ruins.
In fact, after they asked Rei, they were surprised to find out that Rei didn't know where this place was because in her memories, there was no such thing as a moving city. As for why she appeared in such a city's warehouse, Rei didn't have the slightest impression of it.
This surprised Felly. If a moving city didn't exist, then the world that Rei lived in should have been more than 500 to 600 years ago …
After that, everyone listened to Rei talk about the things that happened in her era. Obviously, the era that Rei lived in wasn't peaceful either. All kinds of monsters caused a lot of sacrifices. Because of this, in order to protect themselves, humans used many methods, including capturing Holy Angels and forcing them to fuse with them to gain power.
After all, although the Holy Angel could wield a lot of power after merging with humans, there was nothing special about the Holy Angel if there was no one to use her. For example, if Rei didn't fuse with Leizi, then she was just an ordinary girl who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. In terms of pure combat strength, she might not even be as strong as Uiharu, who didn't have a computer.
Therefore, back then, many humans were capturing Holy Angels, which was why Rei hated humans.
Felly calculated in her mind and whispered to Fangzheng. If Rei wasn't lying, then the era that she lived in should be the 'Edge of Doomsday' era 600 years ago. After that, the land dried up and corrupted monsters appeared everywhere, forcing people to rely on 'moving cities' to survive.
However, Felly had never heard of Holy Angels and didn't know anyone who could turn into a weapon. After all, so many years had passed and perhaps Rei was the only one left in the Holy Angel race. Perhaps, Rei was the only one left in the race.
With regards to this, Fangzheng did not show any reaction. All he did was nod to indicate his acknowledgment. On the other hand, Felly was excited. She had always hoped to leave the cage of the moving city and explore the outside world. She didn't expect to encounter such interesting things as soon as she came out … So then, what else would she encounter next?
At this moment, Felly was full of anticipation for the future journey.
