"Ugh …"
Alisa opened her eyes and stared blankly at the broken ceiling in front of her.
How long has it been since that day?
Alisa slowly turned her head around and looked around. She could not even think smoothly at that moment. Ever since that day, the day she was attacked, she had been like this.
"— — — — — —!!"
An intense pain came from Alisa's right hand. She could not help but let out a low moan. She turned around and saw that her right hand had completely changed. It no longer looked like a human's arm, but more like the limb of a monster.
"Has the Aragami transformation … begun?"
Seeing this, Alisa bit her lips as a sense of helplessness rose from her heart.
The God Eaters were not perfect warriors.
They received the injection of the Oracle Cells, which gave them superhuman strength and speed. This was also why Alisa could single-handedly pick up a greatsword that was heavier than herself. But on the other hand, this was also a double-edged sword. In fact, the thing that looked like a huge bracelet on the hands of the god eaters was actually a kind of "suppressor". Without the existence of this suppressor, the god eaters that were injected with the Oracle cells would inevitably transform into the Aragami form, eventually becoming a brand new Aragami.
It was the same for Alisa. In the previous battle, in order to seek support, she had left the battlefield. But after that, Alisa still encountered a nightmare that she had never imagined.
The Aragami that killed her parents had once again appeared in front of her, leading a group of Aragami to attack Alisa.
Although Alisa had used all her might to kill those Aragami, she even managed to injure the gigantic Aragami that was leading the pack, forcing it to flee. However, it was also during that final attack that Alisa's bracelet was shattered by the Aragami, causing her to lose consciousness.
When she woke up again, it was in this shabby house.
I have to go back, I have to tell everyone about the Minister's plan …
With that thought in mind, Alisa tried her best to stand up, but her legs had no strength at all. Just a slight movement would cause her to tremble uncontrollably.
"…?"
At this moment, Alisa suddenly felt an ice-cold sensation from her burning right hand, which made her heave a sigh of relief. She turned her head and looked to her side, only to see a girl with short white hair and wearing a tattered robe sitting next to her, looking at her worriedly.
"Sihathor …"
Alyssa whispered to the little girl in front of her. The little girl blinked her eyes curiously and stared at her.
Although she was unconscious, this girl had been by her side since she woke up, so it could be deduced that she was the one who saved her. But what gave Alisa a headache was that the girl in front of her did not seem to have any communication skills. She did not even know how to speak, nor could she understand her.
He didn't even have a name.
In the beginning, the girl could only make sounds like "ah" and "woo". Gradually, she learned to repeat Alisa's words like a baby, but because she didn't have a name, Alisa gave her the name "Sihathor".
However, how did this child survive?
Alisa felt that the girl was full of mysteries. After all, this was the Wasteland World. It was very difficult for a child to survive alone. Of course, she could also consider the possibility that the girl might have lost her parents at a young age, but if she had parents to raise her, she should at least have the ability to communicate. Why did she behave like a baby …
But that was not important.
She had to go back and tell everyone about the Minister's conspiracy … But Alisa could not move at all, and Sihathor did not understand anything about the God Eater or Fenrir at all. Her communication skills were also very limited, so it was impossible to ask her to find someone to pass the message. Alisa was also worried that if the Minister found out, Sihathor might be in danger.
Could it be that she could only rely on the search party? But Fenrir's manpower …
Thinking of this, Alisa fell into deep despair.
However, in a place that Alisa could not imagine …
"You didn't find anything over there?"
"No, we didn't find anything."
"Thank you. Please go to another area."
"No problem."
Seeing the players leaving in high spirits, Phyllis sighed and looked at the map in front of her with a frown.
"Something's not right."
"Is it?"
"Yes, it is."
Misaka Mikoto was still confused by Phyllis's words, but Kuroko seemed to understand what Phyllis was talking about and nodded.
"According to the description of the people who were with Miss Alisa, they were attacked by a considerable number of Aragami. Under such circumstances, Miss Alisa originally wanted to defend herself and let them escape, but in the end, she chose to leave because of the other party's request. With Miss Alisa's personality, she should have immediately returned to Fenrir to seek support. "
"But from what we can see, Miss Alisa was attacked on her way … Hmm?"
At this moment, Zuo Tianlei seemed to have reacted, while Shirai Kuroko nodded.
"That's right. If nothing happened to her, she should have tried her best to come back. Even if we take a step back, since we did not find Miss Alisa's … body there, it means that she should be alive. But that's why there's a contradiction. "
"Contradiction?"
"Yeah, if Miss Alisa's injuries are serious, then she shouldn't be too far away. If her injuries aren't serious, then she should return to Fenrir as soon as possible. However, we've already searched the surroundings of Fenrir, but we haven't found anything. This is very strange."
"That's right."
Phyllis nodded in agreement with Kuroko's words. Zuo Tianlei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Then, could it be that Alisa knows that someone in Fenrir is plotting against her, so she had no choice but to escape? Look, didn't those people tell us that they suspect that the Minister is plotting to kill Alisa? "
"But if that's the case, she should be looking for us first. But so far, there's no news from the Wanderer Bus or Jelnie. The adventurers haven't found any clues either."
"So we still need to expand the search area. Is this really okay? I feel like it's too troublesome for those adventurers. "
Phyllis felt a little uneasy. Frankly speaking, they were worried about their friend, so they couldn't offer any rewards to those 'adventurers'. In fact, Phyllis only wanted to give it a try, but to her surprise, almost everyone agreed to her request. Even though they didn't find anything, they weren't discouraged at all. Instead, they hoped that Phyllis would continue to ask them for help.
In the beginning, Phyllis suspected that the adventurers had ulterior motives. After all, there were such people in Jelnie. But soon, Phyllis realized that although the adventurers seemed to like her a lot, they seemed to be sincere in asking her for help. Sometimes, Phyllis even heard those 'adventurers' seriously discussing whether they had found any clues. It didn't seem like they were doing it for the sake of pleasing women at all.
Aren't these people being too nice?!
Since Phyllis and the others had no way of paying them, these adventurers were basically working for free. Hence, Phyllis and the others couldn't figure out why these adventurers would be so interested in a mission that was a waste of time and energy without any reward.
"But since Sister Blackie said there's no problem, there shouldn't be a problem."
Zuo Tianlei was rather calm.
"It's great that we're all good people."
"You're right …."
"Wahahaha, Miss Phyllis, we found a clue!"
At that moment, a group of 'adventurers' suddenly rushed in and greeted them excitedly. The girls were already used to this. Although these adventurers were friendly, they did not seem to care much about etiquette. Moreover, the way they treated them was different from how ordinary people treated them …. In short, this should be a characteristic unique to people from another world?
"What clue? Did you find Miss Arisa? "
Zuo Tianlei hurriedly asked, and the leading player shook his head in response.
"No, no, but I think it has something to do with Miss Arisa's disappearance."
"Oh? Is that so? "
"Yes, yes."
The adventurer exchanged glances with his companion and replied.
"Didn't we say that the Minister must've framed Miss Arisa for some reason? That's why we snuck into the stronghold to see if we could find any clues …. "
"Uh …."
The young ladies revealed subtle expressions when they heard this. In fact, this was not the first time they encountered something like this. Although these adventurers from another world were friendly and willing to help others, sometimes they were quite self-centered. They basically did whatever they wanted without considering the consequences.
What the young ladies couldn't understand was that almost all the 'adventurers' seemed to unanimously believe that Minister Karian was the culprit behind all this. They were desperately digging up all kinds of dark history and evidence, as if no one had any doubts about it. This made the young ladies a little … .speechless.
Strictly speaking, sneaking into a mobile city to conduct an investigation was against the law!
"Then we followed the minister and found a secret passage. This secret passage leads to a very distant place. It's quite disgusting inside!"
"Quite …."
"… Disgusting?"
The young ladies looked at each other in dismay when they heard this unexpected adjective. If you said it was quite horrifying or cruel, they would still have some idea, but what's with 'quite disgusting'?
"We found that the passage was connected to another space. It looked like it was corroded by flesh and blood vessels everywhere. Anyway, it looked like a scene from a B-grade horror movie …."
"Yes, yes, there was a super huge monster inside, but at that time, we were discovered by that man, and then we died and came back."
Came back dead ….
The young ladies didn't know what to say. They couldn't understand what that meant, but at least they knew what the other party had done.
"What do you think? I think the Minister must be plotting something. Why don't we go and defeat him now? "
"Well …."
Seeing the sparkling eyes of the adventurers in front of her, Phyllis looked at the others awkwardly, then shook her head.
"I'm sorry, but the clues we have so far aren't enough. And to be honest, we don't know much about the inheritance of the God Eater. After all, we're not Fenrir's people. If we want to know what happened, I'm afraid we'll have to find Miss Alisa …."
Phyllis breathed a sigh of relief. She knew very well that many of these adventurers were much stronger than her, but what puzzled her was that these adventurers were obviously much stronger than her, but they seemed to be waiting for her orders before taking action.
Logically speaking, if these adventurers wanted to attack Fenrir, they had no right to stop them. However, what was surprising was that it seemed that all the adventurers regarded them as leaders. They would often ask them if they wanted to attack Fenrir directly. After being rejected, they were not discouraged or directly attacked by themselves. Instead, they continued to do other tasks.
"In other words, someone who knows what's going on inside, right? I got it!"
Hearing this, the adventurer nodded vigorously, then walked out with the others, leaving Phyllis standing there in a daze.
"I … .didn't say anything I shouldn't have, right?"
"This … .I don't know either …."
For some reason, looking at the backs of the adventurers leaving, the young ladies had a bad premonition.
