People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 177 Meeting

"—According to several students, during last night's Spring Carnival, the entire auditorium was shrouded in some unknown fog and darkness—"

"In addition, the Low Shoulders band members disappeared after the performance. Two students from our school also went missing, one of whom was a member of the school's cheerleading team —"

The screen then switched to several expert interviews in the studio.

"This is definitely a harbinger of a sudden change in the world's environment! Or perhaps the students have experienced a collective space travel! Our physics community should—"

An expert with gray hair waved his arms excitedly.

"Perhaps those missing people have already gone to another world!!"

"...

'

The sound of the television echoed in the somewhat empty office.

Suren leaned back on the sofa and took a bite of pizza.

Experts are indeed useful; at least most people believe what they say.

Carrie sat at her worktable, intently sketching the design of the clothes. Her pen tip glided lightly across the paper, and she would occasionally stop to furrow her brow and adjust the details.

"Good morning."

Patty yawned, came downstairs, kicked off her slippers, lay down on the sofa, and put both legs on Suren's lap.

Suren pinched her calf and glanced at her subconsciously.

The two looked at each other, and in that instant, they both seemed to recall what happened yesterday.

Patty's face turned bright red instantly. Feeling guilty, she took out her phone, held it up to her eyes, and covered Suren's face.

Since last night, the atmosphere between the two has become quite subtle, but neither of them has taken the initiative to break the ice.

"Cough cough————"

To break the awkward silence, Patty cleared her throat and said, "After my exams, let's go on a trip! To the beach or the mountains! I'll cover all the expenses, how about it?"

Suren:

Patty: "[·A”·]?"

Seeing that Su Lun didn't speak, she immediately puffed out her cheeks: "What? I'm inviting you out to play, and you don't want to?!"

"cough----"

Suren put her feet on the sofa and stood up: "I need to go out for a few days. We'll talk about the trip when I get back."

He really hasn't been able to get away lately.

He also needs to address the issue of McLean's death, as a way of giving an explanation.

After that, he will have to wait for Morrison's investigation into the Armitage family.

Moreover, he had another important matter to attend to.

Suren touched the USB drive in her pocket; it was the one Alessa had taken from Ida.

The data that woman painstakingly stole from the underground base should all be inside.

But I don't know what kind of loss the other party suffered, that they even encrypted their own USB drive later.

So he still needs to find someone he can trust to crack this thing.

"You're going out again?" Patty pouted, picked up a cushion and hugged it to her chest. "When are you coming back?"

"It depends."

Suren looked at Patty, then changed the subject: "How's your magic coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Patty immediately perked up.

"Hmph! I'll show you what a genius is!"

She proudly raised her chin and extended her finger.

The coffee cup she was pointing at suddenly began to float and wobble.

Although it only rose a few centimeters into the air and was still trembling slightly, it was clear that the person had put in a lot of practice.

Seeing Patty's "praise me" expression, Suren clapped along in agreement.

"sharp."

"Of course!"

Patty sat up excitedly and said, "I've figured out what my future path is!"

"Oh?"

Suren raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tell me about it."

"I saw in the spellbook that there are some supplementary spells, like summoning spells! These can summon elemental power, and there are also teleportation spells, and so on!"

She responded.

"I plan to learn summoning! And teleportation too! Then all I need to do is protect Carrie and let her fight! If we can't win, we can always run away!"

call----

Do I need to prepare any materials for this? Or do I need to contract some kind of summoned creature?

Will it summon some strange thing?

Teleportation arrays are pretty good, but things that involve space—

"I think it's great."

Suren rubbed her temples, but there was nothing wrong with her having this idea of ​​cooperating.

Working together is definitely better than one person fighting alone.

Suren didn't interfere with her thoughts. Interest is the best teacher. She only wanted them to learn magic so that they could protect themselves.

After all, he recently not only destroyed the base but also captured the Death Ray.

Given their past behavior, their retaliation after discovering this will only be more intense.

At that time, once I get busy, it will be difficult to take the time to protect them.

Inside a dimly lit conference room.

The screen was divided into more than a dozen squares, each containing a blurry outline, some dressed in suits and ties, others draped in robes.

"Dean, your brain transplant technology seems a bit unstable."

A voice that was neither male nor female came from the screen: "Why are there people jumping out to resist inside the company? I didn't come in to listen to their arguments."

In the conference room, Dean Armitage sat alone in a chair and explained slowly, "There are many factions within the company, and the interests are deeply intertwined."

"It's easy to change the leader, but to completely eliminate dissenting voices, you have to do it step by step."

"Hmph! An excuse."

Another figure in a long robe snorted and took over the conversation.

"The ritual for Mammon's descent was disrupted, and the experimental base in Maine was reduced to ruins."

"Even the Leviathan projection that we summoned at great cost was banished by the angels."

19

As he spoke, he uploaded photos of the two of them to the main screen.

The photos show Suren holding a long knife and Bayonetta, respectively.

"I suggest we first mobilize resources to take care of this kid named Suren."

Someone made a suggestion.

"no."

Dean immediately rejected the idea, saying, "He's easy to deal with, but what about the two behind him? Taking action rashly will only expose us prematurely."

"We shouldn't waste our energy on these kinds of variables."

"So we just ignore them for now? Let them sabotage us everywhere?"

The figure in the long robe sneered.

A brief silence fell over the conference channel.

After waiting a while and seeing that no one spoke, Dean finally asked, "Has all of Valrid's data been received?"

"Um."

"We are already recruiting volunteers for the production."

"...

""

Dean nodded, his gaze sweeping over the figures on the screen: "Never mind the others, just replicate Valrid first."

He paused, his tone turning cold: "As for that witch, she's been hunting us down lately. You guys be careful when you go out."

"Heh, if you stole something from her, would everyone still need to live like this, keeping their tails between their legs?"

Someone quipped, "Besides, she started a killing spree on your turf."

Dean remained calm and ignored the other person's teasing.

"That's settled then. Go collect emotions from various places as soon as possible, and I'll expedite the core plan."

"Only these things can be used to try and deal with Dante and his men."

"etc."

The figure in the upper left corner pressed, "What about the death ray that disappeared from Nadri Town? If it falls into someone else's hands, it will pose a huge threat to our plans."

"Death Rays are ancient predators from beyond the universe."

Dean said calmly, "It's much more cunning than we thought. Its disappearance was probably just a cover for hiding and reappearing."

"Moreover, that single point of death ray will have a negligible impact on the plan, so we can ignore it."
