Endless Silver Machine

When Ling and Luoluo were called out of the room, Aika realized that the time he and Wei Xi spent alone was not that long.

At least it wasn't time yet for Wei Xi to go to bed on time.

"If you want to report on the progress of your relationship with Wei Xi, then that's not necessary."

"Sister Ling, no matter what I say, it won't be so fast..."

"I want you to meet someone first."

"Brother, who else will come so late?"

"Anyway, you will know after seeing it."

Aika brought Ling and Luoluo, who were suddenly called out of the room, to the living room, where Wei Xi was already waiting for everyone.

The two of them sat down next to Wei Xi, and Aika, who gathered everyone in the living room, started the chip-type molecular power furnace in the PDA.

Inili appeared in front of everyone, dressed in gorgeous clothes.

The silence that lasted less than a few seconds felt like it had lengthened several times.

In fact, it didn't feel that long, and Ling's tired voice remained the same.

"Who are you..."

Aika looked at Inili standing proudly with her hands on her hips, vaguely recalling the awkwardness when they first met.

"Hmph, I come from the other side thousands of years ago..."

"Wait, Inili, let me explain."

As soon as Aika interrupted and answered Yinili's unclear self-introduction, Ling's eyes locked on him.

Although she didn't say anything, the resentment urging Aika to speak quickly was conveyed through her frown.

Aika, who clearly heard Ling's heart, looked away in embarrassment, but Luo Luo was sitting on Ling's left.

She seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and her eyes still did not move away from Inili, who was standing with her hands crossed.

"Well...actually, this person has been in contact with us a long time ago and helped us erase the records when we left the imperial capital."

"...Has such a thing ever happened?"

Ling and Aika's memories are not in sync.

"You weren't awake at that time, so of course you didn't know."

"It turns out we met because of that incident..."

Only then did Ling realize that what Aika vaguely stated was an incident caused by her, and she suddenly didn't know how to react.

"Could it be that she was the one who used the PDA to help us guide us at that time?"

I don’t know what the switch is for Lolo to switch modes, but she responded to Aika’s explanation.

"Hmm...she is Cocona's friend..."

"I and Cocona are in a cooperative relationship. It's okay to be friends..."

The only person here who knows Yi Nili is Aika, and Wei Xi just met her for the first time at a very embarrassing time.

It would be too troublesome to mention the process of getting acquainted with Yinili here, so Aika skipped this step.

"Anyway, she said that just call her Yinili. Yinili, please tell them what you just said about Lan Ming."

"You are really rude when you call someone."

"I'm asking you solemnly, and you know the things over there better than I do."

Compared with Aika relaying the information conveyed by Inili, it is less likely to cause ambiguity if the person directly explains it.

Aika only learned from Inili that Lan Ming's current position was very sinister, so he forcibly left Inili here to explain.

"To put it simply, it's a coup. Lan Ming Yiela is the first heir to the royal family. Someone in August wanted her to step down, so the news came out that she planned to assassinate the emperor."

"Miss Lan Ming assassinated the emperor? This is impossible..."

"But in fact, the emperor was indeed assassinated, and it was in the Tebiri Kingdom that the Bis Empire could not monitor."

Inili added the explanation to Lolo who was in disbelief without mercy, and she used a tone that left no room for doubt.

"But it's impossible..."

"Wait, Luo Luo," Ling raised her hand to stop Luo Luo's meaningless questioning, "Before that, I have something to ask Miss Inili."

"Heinz...do you have any ideas?"

Ling's tone contained more doubts about Yinili's words, and Yinili could not fail to hear it.

But when Yi Nili was about to accept Ling's question, what came out of her mouth were irrelevant words.

"First of all...thank you for helping us when we were in August..."

Ling's hesitation did not seem rude, but Yinili did not expect that the first thing she said was not a question.

"Ah haha, you don't need to make a special trip to say thank you. I'm just entrusted by Cocona, but I helped you leave Augustus because I wanted to do so."

"I think this kind of thing still needs to be said...and then, talking about the matter, your tone seems to want to tell us that the content of the news is false."

Aika also had a vague feeling that Inili's explanations in the room and in the living room were not consistent.

However, the Pope also once said that there were divisions within Augustus, and preconceptions prevented Aika from doubting Inili's statement.

As observers, Luo Luo and Wei Xi certainly didn't know who was right and who was wrong. They could only wait nervously for Yinili to answer Ling's question.

"Your intuition is very good. There are indeed too many subjective factors in my statement."

Inili did not evade, but positively affirmed Ling's question.

Ling's question obviously didn't take into account the atmosphere, but communicating with doubts will only waste time. In a sense, it is indeed the most appropriate approach.

"Is Miss Inili a member of Augustus?"

"No, I'm just in the imperial capital."

"So, what is the purpose of telling us this information? Do you hope that we can intervene in August's affairs?"

With the names of the "Chise" family and the "Heinz" family, it is not difficult to legitimately enter August.

"You and Augustus are inextricably linked. I think it is necessary to let you know, and I do not expect you to make any decisions."

"Ling, let's stop here. If Yinili really has other purposes, you can't ask them here."

"The boy from the 'Chise' family is also merciless in his words."

Aika stopped Ling and turned herself into the target.

"Feel sorry."

"My mission has been completed. As for your decision, I will not interfere again."

Aika originally thought that Yinili would say this because she was angered by Ling's series of questions, but the look in her eyes that Yinili glanced at made him change his mind.

"Don't you look forward to it..."

That clear look in his eyes was like saying the opposite.

Inili put down these unfinished words, and her figure dissolved in the air of the living room.

The molecular power furnace in the PDA stopped operating, and the screen returned to its normal interface.

…………

After Inili disappeared, there was no trace of her presence left in the living room.

It was originally a product of projection magic, so naturally it would not leave any breath behind.

But the atmosphere left by her confrontation with Ling still lingered.

Aika took back her PDA and sat down opposite the three of them.

"Ling, there's no need to make the atmosphere so tense, right?"

"Yes, Miss Inili has helped us before, so she shouldn't be a bad person..."

"Didn't you hear the meaning of her words?"

"Eh?"

Only Luoluo expressed doubts about this, while Aika was not sure.

Luoluo, who looked back and forth between Ling and Aika, really didn't know what the "implication" that Ling pointed out was.

"Sister Ling also said just now that the internal affairs of the Bisi Empire are not something we can interfere with..."

"At least there is something we can do. Whether Lan Ming has the premeditation mentioned in the news, you just have to ask him in person."

"Look, Miss Inili has caught a big fish."

There was no surprise in Ling's tone. She had expected Aika to say such words when she heard Yinili's information induction.

At this time, Aika's PDA vibrated in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door of the administrator's cabin, as if he had spotted the right moment and intervened.

Their conversation was temporarily interrupted, and Aika opened the text message she had received a few seconds ago.

"Will anyone come at this time..."

"It should be Senior Lilith, I received her text message."

The text message was sent from Senior Lilith's PDA, which roughly meant that she was now outside the door of the administrator's cabin and asked if it would be convenient for everyone to meet.

Generally speaking, this kind of text message should be sent before departure, not after you are already at the door.

Probably, Senior Sister Lilith had been hesitating whether to go back home on the way here, which resulted in this.

Aika just speculated like this, maybe it was to not give everyone an excuse to escape. There were countless reasons that could be thought of.

There is only one correct answer, and only I know it best.

Ling left her seat to open the door for Senior Lilith. In the past, this was Luoluo's job.

But tonight she was obviously thinking about other things and looked distracted.

Aika noticed that she had rarely spoken since Yinili appeared.

I wanted to take advantage of the break in the topic to ask her if there was anything she hadn't said, but Wei Xi seemed to be thinking about the same thing as him.

"Luoluo, do you still care about that sister just now..."

"It's not like that..."

"That's it..."

Wei Xi knew that her question would only get this answer. She just wanted to talk to Luo Luo.

Even if there is only one sentence, at least the psychology of the two of them can be filled more or less.

When Inili explained August's situation, Wei Xi didn't say a word.

Because what happened in the Bisi Empire was too far away from me.

Although it is not something that can be forgotten after hearing it, there is no need to take it too seriously.

"That sister knows about me. If she comes from the other side of thousands of years..."

"Don't pay too much attention to what she said. I don't think Professor Cocona can know someone from the other side of thousands of years..."

Aika's eyes fell on Wei Xi who nodded slightly in agreement, but she couldn't speak anymore.

There was a guy from far away sitting right in front of me.

"Wait, maybe it's not completely impossible..."

"Eh?"

Noticing that Aika's eyes were on her, Wei Xi turned her head slightly to understand the reason.

"But, as I say...it only lasts less than a hundred years..."

The so-called "the other side of tens of millions of years" is more often just a literary modification.

Aika was thinking about whether to explain this kind of thing to Wei Xi, who was in a delicate position. The voices of Ling and Senior Lilith talking at the entrance gradually became clearer.

He stood up from his seat and then noticed that Luo Luo, who was sitting quietly, was still not moved by Wei Xi's hard work.
