Half an hour later, Tessa, who had washed herself clean, reappeared in front of Xiao Ran wearing a men's casual shirt and large pants. This set of clothes was not specially prepared for Tessa, so it looked a little loose on her body.
The shirt on Tessa's body could be seen as a miniskirt, and the large pants felt a little like beach pants. In short, it looked a little out of place on Tessa's body, but it made Tessa look small and cute. The only thing that was certain was that the clothes inside were still on her body.
Xiao Ran looked at Tessa from head to toe, and Tessa's face was a little red. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"No, it's just that it's not very suitable for you. It's better to ask Chidori to prepare a set of fitting clothes for you later." Xiao Ran smiled slightly. Although he looked at Tessa from head to toe, he did not have any other thoughts. He just felt that this girl was quite cute in this dress.
"Phew." Tessa exhaled slightly, sat opposite Xiao Ran, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you this time, Mr. Arikos, but in the current situation, I can only ask for your help."
"You don't have to call me Mr. Arikos, just call me Xiao Ran or Arikos." Xiao Ran waved his hand and said with a serious face, "Looking at your appearance just now, you should have escaped from somewhere. With your identity, you shouldn't be alone. What happened?"
Tessa bit her lips, organized her words, and said, "We were originally investigating an AS theft case, and Sosuke Xiangliang's actions in the past few days were related to this. Today, we suddenly received news from Japan that a suspected member of the A21 organization was arrested, which is the child named Pony."
"After the inspection, Kalinin told me that the other party seemed to have been tested by the user of the lambda-driver system. He needed me to make a specific judgment, so I came to Japan."
"But we didn't expect that the place where we were being held would be attacked by unknown militants. Their purpose was to rescue this child. Although we can confirm that the other party is the A21 terrorist organization that stole AS, we weren't prepared for this at that time. In the end, we had to rely on the research institute's car to escape."
As she spoke, Tessa lowered her head in disappointment. "But because of my wrong judgment, Major Kalinin's life is now in danger … I'm so useless. I'm useless as soon as I'm on land."
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so there's no need to blame yourself too much." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and said, "If it's that man, then he shouldn't die so easily if he can nurture someone like Xiangliang Zongjie."
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran with a weak look. "But in that case, Major Kalinin was also in danger. Maybe he was seriously injured, maybe he was caught by A21, maybe …"
Xiao Ran comforted Tessa and interrupted her words. "It will be fine. In my opinion, that man is not easy to deal with. He won't lose his life so easily. Not to mention, you still have that kid in your hands. In exchange, the other party won't hurt Kalinin's life."
Although Jia Linin did survive in the storyline, there was no guarantee that things would still be the same as in the storyline now that the world had changed to a certain extent. Xiao Ran didn't know the specific time of this incident, and it wasn't convenient for her to warn Zhang Heng. She could only say that such a thing was destined to happen.
"That's true. After all, we still have people they need." Tessa nodded in agreement. Looking at the young man who was still in a coma, she said, "Then we can only find a way to get information about A21 from him after he wakes up."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Don't worry too much. How do you want me to help you now?"
"I want to get in touch with the Son of Dan Nu. I've lost contact with them for three hours now. Vice-captain Richard should already know about the attack on the research institute. The Son of Dan Nu must be on its way to Japan. They must immediately investigate the location of Major Kalinin and then start the rescue operation."
Tessa sat on the sofa with her feet together and her hands on her legs. She said seriously, "But now, because of this kid called Pony, I'm in a very dangerous situation. A21 will definitely kill me and take Pony away. So, before the reinforcements from the Son of Dan Nu arrive, I need you to protect me … No, protect that kid. I've already made up my mind."
Hearing Tessa's words, Xiao Ran smiled. "Haha, don't worry. No one can hurt you here, and no one can take anything from me. However, I can't contact Mithril directly, so I can only pass the message through El Erf. "
Tessa stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao Ran again. She said solemnly, "Sorry to trouble you."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He took out his phone and sent a message to Sosuke Sagara, who was protecting Chidori at school. He briefly explained Tessa's current situation and asked him to immediately bring Chidori and a set of women's clothes. Then, he used the team communicator to contact El Erf.
With the internet, the team communicator could still achieve the same frequency worldwide. On the other hand, when there was a way to contact Mithril, there was no need for Tessa to tell Xiao Ran the emergency communication method of Mithril. After all, that was the internal communication method of Mithril. So, Xiao Ran didn't ask how to contact Mithril. Instead, he directly contacted El Erf.
After the communication was connected, Xiao Ran directly explained the situation to El Erf on the other side of the communicator. The research institute was attacked, and Tessa brought the captured people to his base. They needed the Son of Dan Slave's support as soon as possible.
After hearing Xiao Ran's words, El Erf replied, "I understand. I will contact the Son of Dan Slave's base and inform them of the current situation. However, please pay attention to this. Since the research institute is classified as a confidential organization, the location shouldn't be so easily discovered by this organization called A21. Check if there are any tracking devices or communication devices on the captives. If the other party has AS and high-firepower weapons, it is recommended that the captives immediately leave the base after checking the communication devices."
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. Through the door, he glanced at Chuo, who was left in the bedroom, and said, "Okay, I will check on him later. After confirming the time of the reinforcement from the Son of Dan Slave, reply to me."
"Understood."
After hanging up the communicator, Xiao Ran directly walked into the room. After closing the door, he directly picked up the unconscious guy who was injected with too much tranquilizer.
Xiao Ran began to check the guy bit by bit. After being reminded by El Erf, he remembered that there seemed to be a communication device on the guy's body. It was impossible for it to be on the guy's clothes. Otherwise, it would be detected immediately.
"Then it must be an implanted communication device." Xiao Ran directly pulled up Chidori's sleeve and saw a conspicuous bulge on the guy's left arm. After that, he carried Chidori out of the bedroom.
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran closing the door and then opening it again. She blinked her eyes blankly, wondering why Xiao Ran did this. After Xiao Ran threw Chidori to the ground, he directly said, "This guy has a communication device on his arm. Is there a way to deal with it?"
"Ah." Tessa covered her mouth. Now she knew why the research institute was attacked. But looking at her exposed arm, Tessa was a little embarrassed. "But I don't know any surgical skills." Tessa said, "I don't know any surgical skills."
"Then forget it." Xiao Ran shook his head and directly chose a more decisive method. He stretched out two fingers and pinched the communication device, which was the size of a cigarette butt, directly into Chidori's flesh and bones. Chidori also woke up with a scream.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, Chidori's eyes rolled back and he fainted again. Xiao Ran withdrew his hand from Chidori's neck.
Tessa looked at Xiao Ran's action and said with some pity, "Isn't this too cruel?"
"I don't know any surgical skills, and I don't have any microwave equipment here. Besides this method, I don't have a better way. Anyway, as long as there is a qualified doctor, it is very easy to remove these fragments." Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and directly rummaged through the cabinets to find a backpack. He then stuffed a lot of weapons and ammunition into the backpack.
After carrying the backpack on his body, he held Chidori with one hand and tilted his head to Tessa, "Let's go, this place is no longer safe. If the other party uses AS regardless of the consequences, it will also implicate those innocent people."
"Oh." Tessa nodded quickly and followed Xiao Ran out of the house.
When Xiao Ran walked downstairs to the parking lot with Chidori, he directly threw Chidori into the trunk, completely treating this kid as a burden. A kid who could use the Lambda Driver after receiving drug modulation, not to mention his poor driving skills, had some problems with his brain. Xiao Ran really looked down on such a guy.
When he got in the car, Xiao Ran also received a message from El Erf. The reply told Xiao Ran that the Son of Dan Nu was already on the way to Japan, but it would take at least three hours and twenty minutes to meet them.
Three hours wasn't a long time, but it wasn't a short time either. Since the crossbow was taken away by Sōsuke Xiangliang for a mission, and the only M9 was also taken away by Kirrlutz, Xiao Ran didn't have anything to fight against AS, so the next three hours would be a very tough three hours.
