Endless Silver Machine

Luoluo obeyed Ling's words obediently and used the bathroom before her.

The water temperature was just right, and Luoluo soaked everything from his shoulders down into the water.

The suitable temperature makes people drowsy, and Luoluo almost fell asleep while soaking in the bathtub.

If he didn't go out for too long, he might worry Ling, who was waiting, so Luoluo only spent half the time in the bath.

Walking through the hall, the lively atmosphere an hour ago had gradually cooled down, and a touch of melancholy filled her heart.

Knocked on Ling's door, but got no response.

The doorknob of the room could be turned, but the door was not locked. Luoluo whispered "Excuse me" and opened the door without permission, but there was no Ling in the room.

Are you waiting in your room? Luoluo exited Ling's room in confusion, passed by Aika's room, and returned to his own room.

But Ling was still not found.

The only place where she might be was Aika and Wei Xi's room. If something happened, it would be bad to disturb them.

Luoluo walked into his room without locking the door. She decided to blow dry her long wet hair while waiting for Ling to finish her work.

Sitting at the table, Luoluo recalled the scene when she pestered Aika to comb her hair when she lost her memory, and her face suddenly turned red.

Thinking about it this way, it's been a long time since I've been coquettish with Aika like that, and now I feel very shy when I think about it.

This is probably a negative effect of growing older, so Luoluo doesn't want to grow up. She wants to go back to the time when she can act coquettishly to Aika without feeling shy.

While having unrealistic fantasies, Luoluo picked up the comb and hair dryer on the dressing table.

Only then did she notice a piece of paper pressed under the comb.

Luoluo opened the twice-folded paper. There were several rows of handwritten fonts on it, which were familiar fonts to Luoluo.

…………

"Brother! Are you there?"

Luoluo rushed into Aika's room in a hurry. She didn't knock on the door, and it was the first time Aika saw her looking so anxious.

"Lolo? What happened?"

"Sorry...but please take a look at this first!"

Rather than apologizing for her rudeness, she had more important things to tell Aika now.

Aika took the paper handed over by Luo Luo doubtfully. It was just an ordinary piece of letter paper that could be seen everywhere.

- Luoluo, I'm sorry, I can't fulfill my promise tonight. If I put forward my idea in front of you, it will definitely be rejected on the spot, so I can only convey it in this way. Don't worry, I'm not setting out to do anything weird. When you read this letter, I will already be on my way to August. Now that you have restored your memory, you should know our current situation. If you want to realize Aika's wish and maintain the status quo, then this must be the best way. August needs the background and magic equipment of the Heinz family. If I use myself as a bargaining chip in the transaction, I will not only stop them from coming to trouble you, but I can even use my power to protect you. In addition, I know you will definitely show this letter to Aika, so the last sentence is for him...

Aika saw the last words Ling left for herself.

——It doesn’t matter what the answer is.

Aika saw the end, and he desperately resisted the urge to crumple up the letter in his hand.

"Brother, do you want to go?"

Seeing Aika fold the letter and put it into his pocket with an ugly expression, and put on the coat hanging on the wall, she already knew what Aika would do.

"Well, we have to bring this arrogant fool back!"

"Brother Aika..." Wei Xi also happened to rush to Aika's room at this time, "Great, Luoluo is here too... So what happened just now..."

"Xiao Xi, what's the matter?"

"Well... someone just left here. Could it be Sister Ling..."

"It can only be her."

As expected, Liuyin also came here with her.

"That guy ran away from home, I'm going to bring her back."

"I'm going with my brother too, please wait for me."

Luoluo hurriedly turned back to her room, and Professor Cocona walked in instead of her.

"Do you know where she is?"

"……have no idea."

After being reminded by Professor Cocona, Aika realized that she only knew Ling's destination, but she didn't know which way she would take.

At this time, all trains in the area have been suspended. August is not a place accessible to ordinary vehicles, so she can only walk.

"Wait a minute, go to Augustus at this time..." Aika suddenly noticed the violation, "Why should we go to Augustus at this time..."

"Yes, if we need to go to Augustus, even we need to apply at least two days in advance, let alone ordinary people."

"Ling's situation cannot be said to be ordinary...but this is too strange..."

If the background of the Heinz family was used directly, the powerful people would be very happy to receive him even if he came in the early morning.

Luoluo had changed clothes and returned to the room.

"Brother, I'm ready."

"You should know that I won't let you go."

"But...but I have already changed my clothes!"

"That's because you had no intention of asking my permission."

"Luoluo, come along too. I'll drive the car out."

Liuyin made the decision for Aika without authorization, and turned around to walk out.

"Wait a minute, Liuyin, are you ready to come too?"

"I can't let my guests have problems during their stay."

"If I drive, can't I just go?"

Hearing the commotion in the corridor, Shunya understood the situation from the few words he heard.

"You stay here, Xiao Xi and Cocona are not allowed to go out.

"I want to go too……"

"By the way, why are Xiaoxi and I being excluded?"

"If we have an accident on the road, we will need your support then. Cocona, you should be able to guide us, right?"

"...Navigation should be no problem."

"navigation?"

Liuyin's words made Aika look at Professor Cocona.

"When she was working for the Imperial City Defense Bureau, she hacked the entire system there. There are surveillance cameras at regular intervals on both sides of the road. If Ling is still in the Imperial City now, it shouldn't be difficult to find them."

Under such circumstances, Liuyin still arranged everyone's work carefully and securely.

Only then did Aika understand why Professor Cocona initially asked if she could find Ling's location. She had planned to use this method to provide support from the beginning.

"Thanks to this, my position is also in danger."

Professor Cocona smiled bitterly. The Imperial City Defense Bureau probably didn't know that their system had been mastered by Professor Cocona, but capable people were easily suspected, so she just did it to the end.

Everyone looked at Shun. He also had a certain status in the Imperial City Defense Bureau. It's not that I want to hide this matter from him, but I feel a little worried when such a sensitive topic is mentioned in front of him.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"

But he didn't seem to mind at all.

"Ah, it's the thing you just mentioned. You don't need to worry about system problems. Ruth...the director had already considered this possibility when he invited Professor Cocona. This is based on the A commission sent based on the trust of the Holy See.”

If he said that, there should be no problem.

When Liu Yin returned to the room to prepare, Shun rushed to the courtyard and drove the car out of the mansion.

Luoluo was beside her, and her expression showed that she had no problem at all.

Professor Cocona took the personal terminal to Aika's room and sat down in her seat.

Wei Xi went to the empty rooftop in order to strengthen the barrier of the mansion.

Liuyin didn't take a long time to get ready. It seemed like she just changed out of her pajamas. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she must also be very anxious in her heart.

"Let's go, I hope this is the end."

Although Liuyin received a short-term leave from the Holy See, it seemed that she had never had a good rest in a real sense.

Aika, who was accompanying her around, also felt the same way and looked at each other with a wry smile.

"Well..." Luo Luo pouted next to him, "Brother and Xiaoyin have become very close..."

"That's not the case. We just have a cooperative relationship."

Liuyin, who was unprepared, was suddenly called out by Luoluo, and he hurriedly explained inexplicably.

"hey-hey!"

Luo Luo seemed to be just joking about Liu Yin. Seeing her panic, Luo Luo laughed lightly.

The tension before departure was swept away by the two girls, and even Aika unknowingly let go of her clenched hands.

As long as they are by your side, no matter what kind of difficulty you have, you can definitely overcome it, and Aika is even more convinced of this.

We must bring back all the lost children, Ling... and "her".
