Chapter 45: Journey
(Wow, why is this happening!)
The moment Elus held Lonis in her arms, Lonis was terrified… She thought Elus was angry and was going to do something to her before the man could.
However…
…
“Idiot fox, don’t move around.”
“Wuwu?”
…
Although Elus held Lonis, she didn’t hit her. Instead, she took her and began to circle around the room!
And perhaps because Lonis’s appearance with her tail raised was so annoying, Saimang ignored Bai Ye who was operating the equipment and chased after them directly.
…
“Die, die, die!”
Saimang roared, and his blood-red eyes were filled with murderous intent—but the moment he was about to catch up, Elus jumped forcefully, and with Lonis, “flew” up.
“Wah!”
“Idiot fox, raise your tail, don’t block my sight.”
…
Thus, Elus held Lonis and spun around the room. Before long, news came from Bai Ye.
“The system can be accessed, but… what is this?”
“Bai Ye, what’s wrong?”
“Vice Admiral Saimang doesn’t know the formal way to activate the amplifier, so he used his own body as a terminal… Unless he is killed, it cannot be shut down.”
“What!”
“I… I don’t know what to do either. Sister Elus… I…”
“Bai Ye, don’t blame yourself, I know.”
…
Elus sighed. Although she wanted to save everyone she met and complete Lonis’s goal, reality was cruel, wasn’t it?
It seemed that Vice Admiral Saimang had to be killed.
However, she couldn’t let the naive idiot fox do it… After all, if Lonis did it, she would definitely have psychological scars.
Therefore…
Elus smiled coldly, and the darkness in her palm shot out directly, piercing the man’s body.
…
Everything ended just like that.
After Saimang fell, Bai Ye quickly operated and completed the shutdown of the heretical amplifier.
Everything returned to peace, and the violent feeling that lingered in the air finally disappeared. However, Vice Admiral Saimang had also completely died on the floor, without leaving a single last word.
“El, Elus…”
Elus’s actions were so fast that Lonis didn’t even have time to react.
…
Now, she could only try to hold Elus’s palm and stay by her side.
…
“Lonis, I’m fine. Although I killed one of our own just now, I only knew Vice Admiral Saimang’s name for about 3 hours, so I didn’t develop any feelings for him and I don’t feel lost!”
“Elus…”
“Besides, I also tried to suppress my impulses and save Vice Admiral Saimang with all my might. But since only his death could shut down the heretical amplifier, we had no choice… Dragging this on wouldn’t solve anything, and it would put many staff members in this fortress who are still in a rage at risk of death.”
“Mm, that’s right.”
…
Lonis nodded, and she knew that Elus’s actions were completely correct and without any mistakes.
But even if there were no mistakes, was it over?
Others might not know Elus’s personality, but Lonis knew her wife too well!
When she was very down and bewildered in her heart, this black-haired girl would become exceptionally rational, like a machine, only doing “correct” things.
But life wasn’t just about “correctness” and “rationality.”
Therefore…
…
“Elus!”
“Huh?”
“Don’t force yourself. If you feel lost, just say it! Because on this matter, we are the same!”
(Idiot fox…)
Looking at Lonis who hugged her, Elus gave a bitter smile.
If it weren’t for Lonis by her side, she probably wouldn’t have realized that she had suppressed herself to this extent.
Because since arriving near Jupiter, she had encountered nothing but helpless things?
…
The diligent ship’s crew, their whereabouts and lives unknown.
Crazy staff, many of whom were buried in the ruins.
The Supreme Being who had once helped humanity had seemingly been retaliated against by the Supreme Being civilization and had completely disappeared.
Even though she suppressed her inner anger and tried to save Vice Admiral Saimang, the final result was futile.
This journey was simply filled with failures!
If it weren’t for that idiot fox-eared girl, shaking her ears and acting cute, she might have lost control of her “rage” long ago and vented it completely.
So,
“Hoo… As expected, an idiot fox is an idiot fox, always able to be useful in unexpected ways.”
“E, Elus?”
“It’s okay, I mean… I’m really fine. It’s just that after the feeling of anger subsided, my heart is a little empty and confused… This should be a side effect of the heretical amplifier, right? Don’t worry, I should be fine in a while.”
Elus took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her mood.
In fact, if it were just the little fox in front of her, she might have shed a few tears to vent.
However, with Bai Ye and the others around, she couldn’t be so embarrassing, not wanting them to worry.
…
…
Meanwhile, the companions were also calming themselves down.
Zhisheng Luo rubbed her forehead, seemingly no longer able to bear looking at the mess, while Isumi looked elsewhere blankly, as if lost in thought.
Only Bai Ye seemed to be relatively safe, so she rushed over and comforted everyone:
“Everyone, are you okay? Ah, that… If you don’t mind, Bai Ye can also perform tail-shaking, let Bai Ye make everyone happy by shaking her tail!”
As a puppet, Bai Ye had a strong learning ability… so she mimicked Lonis’s appearance and made a cute expression.
…
“Mm, Bai Ye, just help us wipe the stains off our bodies.”
“Oh…?”
“With the idiot fox to play with, I’m basically fine. I wonder about Senior Isumi…”
“Mm, I’m fine too.”
“But Miss Isumi’s expression is still a bit strange… Did she discover something?”
Zhisheng Luo also shook her head, trying her best not to think about negative things.
“Mm, actually, when the heretical amplifier stopped just now, I think I saw many fragmented images.”
“Fragmented images?”
“Yes, that should be something that happened in this room. Mm… although it was a bit terrifying, everything has passed.”
“!”
Hearing this, Lonis was startled.
Because, although her mental connection with Isumi had ended, Senior Isumi still seemed to retain some ability to observe the past.
Just now, she might have seen a massacre that happened in this room—their former comrades tearing each other apart. Nothing could be more despairing than this reality.
So…
Lonis also nodded and quickly changed the subject:
“Ah, forget it! Let’s not worry about the heretical amplifier for now. As long as it’s stopped, that’s enough!”
“Mm…”
“Shall we go to the other side? I remember that’s where the Book of Fate is. Maybe there’s a way to contact Luo Bei and the others?!”
