In the evening, Xiao Ran sent Sherry Dew back to the hotel. Just like the day before, he kissed Sherry Dew gently on the cheek. In return, Sherry Dew stomped on Xiao Ran's feet twice before turning around and walking back to the hotel in her high heels.
Xiao Ran and Moses went to S.M.S. again. On the way, Xiao Ran asked Moses to ask about the matter. When Sherry Dew 'disappeared', Grace did ask if she could get access to the 25th network. However, Xiao Ran reminded Grace, so she rejected the request.
When Xiao Ran found out, he immediately contacted Billy and asked him to strengthen the surveillance of the three islands of Leon, especially to see if he had secretly given access to the 25th ship's network.
Xiao Ran saw Arte, who was exhausted from the high-intensity training that Michelle had ordered him to do. Xiao Ran patted Arte's shoulder gently under Arte's resentful gaze and said, "I have faith in you. Good luck."
Arte stared blankly at Xiao Ran's departing figure. By the time he regained his senses, Xiao Ran had already disappeared from his sight. He could not help but shout angrily, "What?! I joined S.M.S. because you said something you shouldn't have said to me. You just told me to do my best and that's it!"
The little boy, Luca, appeared out of nowhere and stood beside Arte. "I feel that Senior Arte is enjoying today's training."
"What did you say?!" Arte bent down and glared at Lucca. "I enjoyed it? Can't you see how tired I am?! "
"Senior Arte looks very energetic in fact." Lucca blinked and looked at Arte innocently.
"Damn it!" Arte clenched his teeth and knocked Lucca's head. Lucca immediately squatted down with his hands on his head. "Senior Arte is too much!"
"I think the investigator is right." Michelle walked over, pushed the glasses on her nose and said, "He does think highly of you, maybe because he saw your talent in this area."
"I don't need anyone to look after me." Veins popped out on Arte's forehead. Step by step, he dragged his mechanical armour which had been shut off and began circling around.
Lucca rubbed his head as he stood up and asked, "Senior Michelle, is it really okay for you to raise the difficulty of the training so high?"
"There's nothing bad about it. If it was Normal difficulty, this guy would have already cleared it." Michelle watched as Arte ran away. She whispered, "Actually, Mr. Investigator told me to adjust the difficulty to the highest level, Nightmare Difficulty. But I think Difficult is enough."
"Ah!"
…
Xiao Ran brought Moses to meet Ozma in S.M.S.'s dormitory. Bobby and Vry were also there. At that moment, all three of them were focused on a document in Xiao Ran's hand. Ozma's brows furrowed even tighter.
Xiao Ran was holding the results of Lan Hua's most detailed examination. When he saw the highlighted words, he read it out softly, "Unknown benign symbiotic bacteria found in the body. It did not cause any harm to the body of the person being examined. There will not be any adverse reactions. It is not contagious. "
Xiao Ran put down the document in his hand, glanced at Ozma and the other two, and said, "Now it seems that we have found the reason why Orchid's song can attract the bugs. This bacteria may be owned by the bugs. It seems that the bugs treat Orchid as one of their own. I'm afraid that these attacks were to rescue Orchid from us humans? Heh, this is really … I don't know what to say. "
"Damn it!" Ozma slammed his hand on the wall and said in a low voice, "Why is it like this?!"
"In that case, could it be that some members of the 171 Investigation Group were infected with some kind of bug disease? And there were quite a lot of them. Maybe Orchid's mother was infected with this disease too. " Xiao Ran touched his chin and speculated, "Since it's benign, could it be that Orchid's mother was infected when she was pregnant and gave birth to Orchid? As a result, Orchid became the symbiotic organism of this bacteria. In that case, Orchid's life shouldn't be affected. Don't worry."
"But then again, Sherry Dew was infected because of her bloodline, and Orchid was infected because of the symbiotic organism of the bacteria. Both of them could use their songs to summon the bugs, but Orchid should be more important. But how do they use Orchid's power? I still don't understand. "
Ozma said in a low voice, "No matter what they want to do, I will protect Orchid!"
"Even if you don't protect it, I won't let anything happen to Orchid," Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Because my responsibility is to stop Grace's conspiracy. I won't let them get what they want. If they don't want us to find out, I will find out everything. "
Ozma took a deep breath and said, "I will continue to investigate Lyon Mishima through my connections."
"Don't worry, Orchid will be fine. I think that after knowing that Orchid was in contact with the bugs, the traitor will definitely take action. I have also asked someone to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, he won't be able to escape. "
Ozma nodded and left first. He was a little worried about the orchid. He wished that the orchid was within his sight 24/7, but he knew that it was impossible. Whether it was for the orchid or to expose Leon Mishima and Grace, he had to act as if nothing had happened.
After Ozma left, Xiao Ran also left. He knew that nothing would happen in the next few days. Perhaps this was the calm before the storm. He just had to wait quietly for what was going to happen next. After that, he would capture Grace and Lyon Mishima in one fell swoop. Then, he would completely reverse the plot. With Orchid and Sherry Dew's ability, he would directly turn the bugs to his side. He would either trigger all three main missions in advance or make the bugs stand on his side. Then, he would use his absolute power to complete the remaining two main missions.
A few days passed by peacefully. Among the surveillance personnel arranged by Billy, they found that Lyon Mishima had used his authority to give access to the main network of Fleet No. 25. He even asked Billy's people to leave evidence.
With the evidence in hand, Xiao Ran did not allow anyone to act rashly because this evidence did not prove that Lyon Mishima was the real culprit. After knowing that Grace had obtained access to the network and could access any corner of the network, Xiao Ran began to pay attention to his own behavior. At the same time, he asked Billy and Moses to disconnect from the network and erase all traces of his previous contact with the surveillance personnel through the network and phone. He also found an opportunity to chat with Ozma. He took the opportunity to tell him about this matter. He believed that Ozma would know how to deal with it.
In the past few days, Xiao Ran only met with Sherry Dew once. It was not that Xiao Ran did not have time, but Sherry Dew was too busy. She participated in interview programs, participated in the Miss MACROSS preliminaries as a judge, and prepared for the upcoming concert. She was too busy. The only time they met was when Xiao Ran went to the concert venue with packed food and found Sherry Dew. Only then did she spare more than an hour for them to spend time together.
Finally, it was time for the Miss MACROSS finals. Orchid thought that she had participated in this event without telling Ozma, but she did not expect that she had been monitored and protected by two parties recently. On one hand, the people sent by Xiao Ran and Ozma were more of a protection role. On the other hand, it was the people sent by Lyon Mishima to monitor her.
As for the people sent by Lyon Mishima, they were naturally discovered by the people sent by Xiao Ran and Ozma. With the skills of professionals, it was not too difficult to discover their existence. Eighty percent of the people who were monitoring Orchid in shifts were found out. Once Lyon Mishima was captured, these people would not be able to escape. By then, it would be easy to find out who was innocent and who was guilty.
Early in the morning, Xiao Ran went to the hotel where Sherry Dew was staying in wearing a military uniform. He picked her up and went to the venue of the Miss MACROSS finals together. The two sat in the back seat. Sherry Dew supported her head with her hand and looked out of the window with a tired look.
Xiao Ran gently held Sherry Dew's other hand and said softly, "You must be tired. The concert is about to start. Why don't you cancel all the things in the next few days and have a good rest?"
"Forget it. Grace has already arranged everything. It's not good to cancel it now. I'll just hang in there for a while." Sherry Dew turned her head and said. Then she looked at Xiao Ran angrily and raised her right hand that was held by Xiao Ran. She had no intention of breaking free, "You're always like this. My hand is sore because of you. Did you run away or are you afraid that you can't find me? Also, why didn't you come to find me these few days? You didn't even call me."
Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled. He gently stroked Sherry Dew's hair and chuckled, "Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you one day. I won't be able to hold your hand and listen to your songs."
Sherry Dew rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran. She waved her hand and swatted away Xiao Ran's hand that was stroking her hair. However, her face flushed, "Speak human language. Don't disgust me."
"Okay, okay, okay." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and said, "I want to seize every minute and second that we have together. Also, it's not that I don't want to look for you or call you. It's because Grace has obtained the highest level of access to the 25th Fleet's network. It's not convenient for me to call you or visit you."
"Don't tell me about your matters." Sherry Dew shook her head helplessly. She reached out with her other hand and tapped Xiao Ran's forehead. "But I have to tell you. I believe that Grace isn't like what you said."
Xiao Ran's lips curled up. "If she isn't like what I said, I'll apologize to her. But I don't think I'll have the chance to do so."
