Chapter 335: Attacked
"..."
"How did you know that there were other people in the Black Mountain?"
Lumil did not let Ronald wait too long.
After a period of stunned silence, she stared at Ronald in front of her, and then cautiously asked.
And this kind of action also helped Ronald confirm something.
——On the Black Mountain that day.
——As expected, there are others lurking secretly!
Therefore, Ronald continued to ask without hesitation:
"Why, this is also something that cannot be said?"
"I just ask you to reveal their identities."
"..."
"It's not impossible."
No. Knowing what kind of psychological consideration he had gone through, Lumil looked embarrassed, but finally nodded.
In this way, the 'girl' continued to explain:
"Ronald, it may be different over there than you imagine.".
"In the mountains of Black Mountain, there is actually a base dedicated to researching and deciphering the original scriptures. However, after our family's accident, the nature of the personnel there changed." "..."
This
information The quantity is quite large.
After thinking seriously for a while, Ronald mentioned the previous detail again:
"Lumiel, I remember you said before that there were not many living people."
"Does that prove that there are still living people out there?"
"That's right. ." Lumiel simply admitted Ronald's guess and looked around the room with a slightly uneasy gaze. Then she continued hesitantly, "Based on the information I know, the living people In fact, there are at least three."
"In addition to teaching us, the original creation guys, some mysterious side knowledge, there are also people inside who are responsible for dealing with post-processing problems."
This answer is similar to what Ronald guessed.
However, because the content of the conversation was somewhat different from Lumil's previous speech, he chose to test Lumil with a relatively marginal question:
"Among these people, is the Malcolm from before?"
"And your family is the only one in the family. Didn't you attack them?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Lumil smiled bitterly as if someone had seen through.
While shaking her head, she continued:
"Ronald, this matter..."
As soon as she started speaking, Lumil suddenly stopped her story.
Looking straight in the direction behind Ronald, the 'girl' seemed to be attracted by something existing over there that had all her attention taken away.
And as the person who is asking the question.
Ronald, who was in front of Lumil, naturally saw this guy's reaction thoroughly.
...
Someone is coming?
How can this be!
Not to mention Ronald’s excellent hearing now.
Even with the power of 'fury' brought by "The Divine Comedy", Ronald did not close it after returning to the apartment.
Is there anyone in the house that Ronald can't detect?
But Lumil's reaction was too real.
He had obviously been subdued by Ronald and was still answering questions passively. It is completely inconsistent with a person's normal psychological activities to suddenly react like this at such a critical moment.
So what is the reason?
With doubts, Ronald looked back.
The direction behind him was the balcony on the third floor of the apartment. The dark night scene caused everything there to be dark, and it was impossible to analyze any useful pictures from it.
Wait...
Ronald suddenly felt uneasy.
His lack of awareness was the result of his own sensory conditions.
But what about Lumil?
His own eyesight cannot see anything that can be doubted, but does Lumil, a guy created by the original code, have the conditions to detect something in the dark night?
Snap -
Subconsciously, Ronald snapped his fingers on his right hand.
At this moment, a change suddenly came to the house.
The heavy desk that was originally placed in the living room was thrown towards Ronald. The collision immediately triggered the defensive technique that Ronald had just activated.
Then, with the white light coming from Ronald's body, the desk and Ronald himself were smashed into the corner of the room.
Meanwhile, other things were happening simultaneously.
Lumiel, who was originally tied to the chair, was now lifted up from the ground by the influence of a huge force, and along with the chair she was sitting on, she flew out in an arc toward the balcony.
Brush -
because Ronald didn't close the balcony door.
So without encountering any decent obstacles, Lumil flew out with the chair in Ronald's house and disappeared into the dark night in an instant.
As for Ronald, who kicked off the desk and got up, it was too late to stop him from leaving.
"..."
Facing the sudden scene in front of him.
Ronald was stunned for only a moment, then immediately turned around and rushed to the balcony.
This time, his excellent eyesight did not result in nothing.
In the dark night, he vaguely saw the direction where Lumil disappeared. It seemed that there was a man's figure leaving at the same time as Lumil.
So, Ronald murmured in a low voice:
"Almagest..."
If Ronald didn't admit his mistake.
The culprit who kidnapped Lumil from his home tonight was the powerful spell caster who belonged to the "Nine Rings Secret Society" and was also the holder of the original book "Almagest".
At this moment, Ronald even had the idea of summoning the Wings of Icarus and chasing after him.
But reason comes first.
Seeing how quickly the other person disappeared from sight, Ronald knew that he could never catch up with this guy at a flying speed.
He had to run the risk of being seen by his big white wings and chase him out.
It's really a bit too reckless.
"..."
Standing on the balcony, Ronald squinted at the dark night in Springs.
After quite a while, he returned to the house shaking his head.
Plopped down on the chair.
While looking at the mess in the house and the only remaining fragments of Moore's body, Ronald was analyzing tonight's encounter in his mind.
Although Lumil didn’t answer many questions.
But for myself, part of the mystery has been decisively solved.
But it happened that the people from the [Nine Rings Secret Society] took action at this time...
Did the two parties have cooperated for a long time, or was there some kind of conspiracy that I was not aware of yet, secretly unfolding in an invisible place?
"Alas -"
Ronald couldn't help but sighed.
It was obvious that he had reached this step, but he was intercepted midway. It was impossible to say that there was no blow.
So he took a pen and paper from the messy ground, and Ronald began to write something seriously and focused.
He could only accept something like tonight happening once.
And never allow it to happen a second time!
So from now on, make a plan to deal with the original book "Almagest".
In this way, the next time the two sides meet.
Not to mention taking people away from Ronald.
Even the caster himself, who possesses such an original scripture, must remain in front of him!
