Time in a collapsing world

"Qian" and "Li" were walking in the base of Fire Chasing Moth, but no matter whether it was human eyes or surveillance cameras, only "Li" could be seen.

The Eighth Herrscher can feel the location of the Seventh Herrscher's core through the same kind of aura. It is very close. As long as there are no accidents on the way, this first step of the plan should be easy to complete.

But things went counterproductive...

"Eh? Isn't this Li? You're actually here too?" Alicia's voice came from behind the two of them, "Also, who is this cute little girl next to you? Did you just meet her? Or is it something you kept secretly? If it’s the latter... Humph, just wait for my torture tonight~?"

[Tsk, trouble. 】

The Herrscher turned his head and looked back, and the expression on his face suddenly changed into an innocent expression suitable for a little girl of Qian's age.

【Huh? Who is this big sister? Brother, do you know her? 】

"elder brother……?"

Alicia blinked and immediately thought of her previous experience, "So, you are Li's sister that I haven't seen for a long time? When we first met, I was your brother's colleague and good friend. My name is Alicia. Oh~? What about you?"

[Hello, Sister Alicia, my name is Qian. 】

The Herrist also responded politely. At this time, he still needed to pretend first. After all, the other party was even immune to his own power, so he couldn't help but be careless.

"Huh? How strange?"

Alicia looked at "Qian" and then at "Li" with a puzzled expression on her face.

【What's wrong, sister? 】

Although there was a thump in his heart, the Herrist still suppressed his desire to strike first and asked in confusion.

"Li, this is your sister~ Under normal circumstances, you would definitely stop me from approaching her, but now you are silent...it's really strange."

Alicia put her face in front of "Li", and the other person took a few steps back as usual, away from Alicia.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something... No, Alicia, when did you come?!"

"Li" had a shocked expression on her face, as if she had just discovered Alicia's arrival.

"So you were distracted? Humph~ In that case, don't blame me for being rude and taking your sister away~?"

With that said, Alicia quickly hugged Herrscher's body in a princess hug, which also caused the shouts of "Li" and "Qian".

"Alicia, let go of my sister!"

[Brother, help me! I don't want to go with her! 】

The Eighth Herrscher would not allow her body to be manipulated by others, so the anxiety in her tone was completely genuine.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding, I respect the wishes of young girls very much... except Mebius."

Alicia lowered the Herrscher's body, which also made the Herrscher, who had originally planned to attack, take back the idea.

What is going on with this female human? So annoying? If I continue to be entangled with her, I feel like something else will happen... No, I have to get rid of her quickly.

The Herrscher's eyes flashed slightly, and then a soldier came out from the corner and said to Alicia: "Captain Alicia, Dr. Mei has something to ask you."

"Mei? Yeah, I understand, I'll go right away~?"

Alicia agreed, but saw that the soldier did not leave, but just stood next to her, as if he wanted to wait until Alicia left.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now."

Alicia felt helpless to meet such a dedicated soldier, so she had no choice but to say goodbye to her brother and sister: "Then I'll leave first, lovely sister Qian, and Li. I'll come see you in the evening~?"

After saying that, Alicia left, leaving behind "Li" and "Qian" who both breathed a sigh of relief.

[I know, I know, I will find an opportunity to kill her, but not now, business is more important. 】

The Herrscher said this to the real Qian in her body. She had been conveying this idea to him when she saw Alicia for the first time, especially when Alicia moved her body closer to the glass just now. When the body was moved, the restlessness in the body became even worse.

I really...can't understand such complex human emotions.

Fortunately, he was in charge of the body now, so after using this reason to excuse Qian, the Herrscher continued to take Li to the location of the core of the Seventh Herrscher.

After taking control of the guard guard, the Herrscher opened a door, but the Seventh Herrscher Core that should have been inside was nowhere to be seen, leaving only an empty room and an empty stage. The Herrscher Core was originally It's just placed on top of it.

【…】

Discovered?

The Eighth Herrscher glanced at the surveillance probe in the corner of the room that was facing this way, but judging from the angle it was raised, it was obviously facing Li's face.

No, it was this guy who was discovered, not Him.

At the same time, behind the surveillance camera, Mei was sitting on a chair, looking at Li Li's usual expression on the surveillance camera, frowning slightly.

After receiving the news that Li was approaching the core of the Seventh Herrscher, she ordered the core to be transferred and kept observing Li's movements through surveillance, but as the Eighth Herrscher thought, she was not monitoring Li saw the hidden figure belonging to Qian next to Li.

"Dr. Mei, Captain Alicia is looking for you everywhere." Other voices came from behind.

"Alicia is looking for me? Got it, let her wait in the office for a while, and go right away."

Mei stared at the monitor and relaxed a little until Li walked out of the room and closed the door.

"You continue to stare. If Ruoli tries to get close to the core of the Seventh Herrscher again, report to me quickly."

"Yes."

"besides……"

"Say, Dr. Mei."

"Check if anyone came in with Li. There seems to be another person beside him."

Mei discovered this based on Li's position. The door leading to the room was obviously very wide, but Li was close to the door frame, as if making way for another person beside him.

Although it is magical, May thinks it is this kind of detail that is most noteworthy.

"Dr. Mei, surveillance shows that since Mr. Li entered the base, except for meeting Captain Alicia on the road, he has been alone the entire time."

"Is it……"

"but……"

"But what?"

"Captain Alicia behaved a little strangely when talking to Mr. Li, as if she was often talking to another invisible person next to Mr. Li."

"...Alicia, is she waiting for me now?"

"Yes, Dr. May."

"I'll be there right away."
