Endless Silver Machine

The setting sun gradually disappeared on the horizon, and the northwest district became as quiet as a lonely city.

Only the pale lights of the high-rise buildings lit up this land where the latest technology of the Bis Empire was gathered.

The black motorcycle blending into the night drove out of the darkness and stopped in front of a brightly lit building.

The black motorcycle that was supposed to have left the Northwest District long ago returned here at an unexpected time.

The all-round surveillance camera in front of the building captured the image of a black motorcycle. Someone got off the car and walked straight into the building.

"I thought you had returned to Augustus, but the reception was not good... Please come to visit at this time..."

The person who led the way was the person in charge of the company. He was just a hired senior magic technician and an ordinary researcher with the title of "person in charge."

The other party had an identity that he couldn't refuse at all. After hearing the other party's request, he nodded quickly.

"...I understand, we will completely hand over the command of the Guard to you."

In fact, there was no need to hesitate at all. He had no right to refuse. It was just that he had picked up the habit of putting on airs after being in the workplace for so many years.

Just now, all control of the company was handed over to the other party. This was a matter that could be decided in just one sentence.

"Please come with me, the control room has prepared your position."

…………

Shun and Professor Cocona had just entered the room and dinner was already ready.

"You made dinner very early today. I'm usually still hungry at this time."

Shun casually hung his coat on the back of the chair and sat down at the dining table.

Although dinner has been placed on the table, no one else has arrived yet.

Professor Cocona said, "I'll go back to my room first," and walked upstairs with her personal terminal in her arms.

Ling's room did not close the door, and Professor Cocona walked towards it.

Luoluo and Wei Xi are helping Ling, who is still in a coma, to feed liquid food.

Liuyin's home did not have special medical equipment, so he could only use this method to maintain Ling's life.

Medically specialized life-sustaining devices can only provide the nutrients the body needs through infusion.

In comparison, Luo Luo and Wei Xi's care method is hundreds of times better than the cold device.

"I'm back."

Professor Cocona knocked lightly on the open door and walked in after Luoluo and Wei Xi noticed it.

"Professor Cocona, did your work go well today?"

The bowl in Luoluo's hand was empty, and she placed it on the tray beside the bed.

Wei Xi had been holding Ling's back, and now she helped her lie down again and pulled up the quilt.

On the empty bedside table was a basin half filled with warm water, and a towel draped over the edge of the basin.

This is something that must be used to help Ling scrub her body. This is what Luoluo and Wei Xi do every day.

"It's not a very complicated job... I'll come and help you after I finish handling the matter over there."

The underground management procedures of the Imperial City Defense Bureau are indeed not complicated, and are even unbelievably simple.

But Professor Cocona did not say the latter sentence.

"Cocona, don't worry about us..."

"If I had stayed in the affiliated hospital of Shimozuki Academy, it wouldn't be so difficult now. After all, I also bear part of the responsibility."

Professor Cocona's tone was very sincere. Although she had not been in contact with Ling for a long time, she was also attracted by Aika's care for her family.

They came to the imperial capital because of their own willful demands, and they were able to live as safely as now under the protection of the Holy See.

"I understand." Luoluo did not refuse Professor Cocona's request. "After your work is over, I hope you can come and help us."

"Lolo..."

Wei Xi was about to say something, but Luo Luo immediately stopped her with her eyes.

With Luoluo's permission, Professor Cocona's disappointed expression was finally replaced by a smile.

"Well, then I will solve the matter over there in one step." She confidently patted her breasts, which could not be called plump, "However, I hope that before the work is over, she will Wake up, this is not just for laziness!"

"That would be great."

"Cocona...thank you..."

Luoluo and Wei Xi understood Professor Cocona's sincerity, and all three of them looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"By the way, where are Aika and Xiaoyin? Dinner is ready and I haven't seen them yet."

"...Brother and Xiaoyin may not come back until later."

Luoluo told Professor Cocona the content of the text message Aika sent him.

"Did you just say that?"

"Um."

"This is too simple..."

"Since my brother said so, I believe there will be no problem between him and Xiaoyin."

"Brother Aika and Xiaoyin... will definitely come back tomorrow..."

Both Luoluo and Wei Xi firmly believed in this, just because they got a word from Aika.

Professor Cocona couldn't understand it, but she took it for granted.

"That's about it... I'll go back to the room and put this down first."

Professor Cocona gestured to the personal terminal in her hand, then turned and left Ling's room.

Luoluo got up and closed the window closer to the bed, and drew the curtains, leaving only the window on the other side to ventilate the room.

Wei Xi had already picked up the tray with the cutlery and walked to the door, while Luo Luo also picked up the basin with both hands. The two of them had become familiar with each other's work yesterday.

Luo Luo, who walked to Wei Xi, looked back.

"I hope tomorrow will be like what Professor Cocona expected..."

"Sister Ling must not have given up... so we will not give up either."

All that can be done now, apart from these trivial things, is to wait patiently.

Wait and hope.

…………

The distances on the map didn't look too long, and they didn't waste a lot of time on the road.

Thanks to the convenience brought by the Northwest District, which has entered a state of rest, there are no vehicles or pedestrians along the way.

"Have you told them?"

If the journey were any longer, Liuyin might not be able to hold on.

The route the two of them ran was not just the distance shown on the PDA map, but they chose winding paths to avoid the surveillance cameras set up on the street.

"I've already told Luo Luo, and she will help tell everyone."

Aika, who finally stopped following Liuyin, was out of breath. There was no rest at all along the way.

Liuyin leaned against the wall to adjust her breathing, her face turning red from the movement.

"That's good……"

Her small breasts swelled with her breathing, and the temperature seemed to become hotter as she ran.

She raised the brim of her sports hat slightly.

"There's no time, let me explain briefly."

What Liuyin and Aika need to do is not very complicated, as long as they can enter the source of the magic burst and grasp the current situation without the other party realizing their identity.

If their work yields findings that warrant a public investigation, follow-up work will be taken over by other stakeholders in the Holy See.

"The underground shouldn't be a place where you can just take the elevator and go in and out, right?"

There is no description of the underground part in the information that Aika found, so it must be an internal secret that cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

"That's true. You can't get in through ordinary methods."

While explaining to Aika, Liuyin's breathing gradually returned to a steady state, and the only thing that could not recover immediately was the fatigue in his body.

She tapped her foot on the ground to signal Aika.

"Since the target is underground, we will go directly underground."
