Survive in Azure Files

I glanced at AL-1S on her back, who was still unconscious.

"Bring back Xialai."

Chapter 107: Nero's Approval

Inside the Millennium's top floor conference room.

Liyin stood by the window, looking down silently until she heard the sound of a mechanism operating behind her.

"Master Liyin," Shi walked out of the secret door, his tone slightly puzzled, "Why don't you let me stop them all?"

"…Now, it's not the right time. 'That' is not built yet, and 'those' are not ready yet. You are no match for Nero."

"I think I can give it a try." He straightened his chest.

"I think you should not try it." Liyin said without even turning her head.

So, Shi secretly curled his lips.

Reaching out to touch the cold glass with her fingertips, Liyin murmured to herself: "Allowing Nero to stay was my biggest mistake tonight... No, even if Nero really stayed outside, Himari would stand on the side of the teacher, and I'm still not sure I can keep them... Was it doomed to fail from the beginning?"

"Master Liyin, you need to rest."

"Shi." Liyin turned around, her eyes red, "I seem to have become weaker than before. Is it because of the teacher?"

Shi was silent for a moment: "Lady Liyin, you really need to rest."

"…I'm sorry for saying something that's hard for you to answer."

Liyin shook her head: "You are right. Let's go back."

Shi bowed slightly: "As you command."

The president of the seminar and his personal bodyguard entered the secret room connected to the conference room one after another and took the exclusive secret elevator.

As the two people left, the lighting system automatically turned off.

In the conference room, only the darkness of the night remained.

-

Outside the Xialai Building, Nero and I got out of an unmanned taxi.

To be honest, if it weren't for the advanced transportation technology in Kivotos, our current combination...

It was late at night. A ferocious-looking student wearing a maid outfit was carrying an unconscious machine that looked like a girl.

Even though I am traveling with you, a handsome and respectable gentleman, if the driver sees us, we will probably have to spend the night in the Valkyrie Public Security Bureau.

The main problem is still Nero.

As for Himari, she didn't come with us because she needed to make some precautionary arrangements.

"Thank you, Nero."

"It's just a small thing, what's there to thank me for? It's so easy."

Nero paused, then added: "Besides, Liyin's idea really makes me angry!"

I nodded noncommittally. "Do you have anything else to do tonight? If so, just send it here."

"Huh? If I'm not here, what if this little body is occupied again?"

Every time I hear Nero, who is a senior but has a similar height and build to the girls in the game development department, calling them "little ones" as a matter of course, I can't help laughing.

As for Nero's concerns, I simply replied: "I have my own arrangements."

"Hmm..." Nero hesitated for a while, "I think I should stay here tonight. Does Xialai have extra guest rooms?"

What's the problem? If there is only one bedroom and one bed in the whole of Xialai, can't I squeeze in?

Although I was complaining in my heart, I still smiled and replied: "Of course. It's so late now, let's go in quickly."

Then, I took Nero back to Xialai, which belonged to me.

At this time, the Xialai living area was brightly lit.

As soon as I entered the living room, three gazes were cast towards me.

"I kept you waiting."

I said this while looking around at the three students I had called together and who were sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Hmm? The Fox of Disaster?" Nero thought for a moment and recognized one of the seven prisoners who was famous throughout Kivotos for the features of his fox mask.

"Oh? The maid agent of Millennium?" The knowledgeable Ruo Zao easily identified Nero's identity.

"Uh hey~"

The petite girl with pink hair and heterochromatic eyes said lazily, "What's going on? The atmosphere seems to be getting a little weird. Don't be so nervous, little new maid. Ruo Zao was also called here by the teacher to help, huh?"

If I remember correctly, Hoshino should be younger than Wakamo.

"Who is the maid girl?!" Nero was furious. "You little brat, I'm a senior in the third grade!"

Hoshino blinked his eyes: "Hey, but uncle, I am also in the third grade..."

“Ah? Is, is that so?”

Nero was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Hoshino unconsciously showed a bit of recognition.

"Alright," I clapped my hands to attract the girls' attention, and pointed at the AL-1S carried by Nero. "This student who hasn't woken up yet is the Alice I mentioned on momotalk. I'll be troubling you for the next period of time."

Although Liyin's resolute attitude was not what I expected, I had already made the decision to bring AL-1S back to Xialai temporarily.

For this reason, I found these three highly capable students to serve as monitors of AL-1S.

"Yeah, that's her." Hoshino looked at AL-1S with interest, repeating what I said on MomoTalk, "Once your eyes turn red, you should control them immediately, right? It's that simple."

"Please leave it to me, Teacher!" Ruozao was excited. "As long as it's for you, Ruozao will do my best!"

"…If that situation really happens."

The last student turned his gray-blue eyes towards me and said in a low and indifferent tone, "Do you need to torture me after the suppression is completed?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere became a little weird.

"Saori, there's no need for that."

I said in a calm tone.

Saori nodded slightly: "I understand."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart was gradually filled with a sense of security.

The strongest in Abydos, even the chairman of the Gehenna Discipline Committee is afraid of him, Hoshino Kotori.

During the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, Kitsunesaka Wakamo is strong enough to rival SRT's most elite FOX team.

The school she belongs to is unknown. She is Beatrice's "gift". Her strength is not inferior to Wakamo, Saori Joumae.

During this period of time, with the assistance of these three people, I believe Key will not cause any more trouble.

...Come to think of it, Saori's proposal is quite interesting.

"Anyway, the rest of the matter is up to you," I instructed, "and the specific time schedule is up to you to decide."

All three nodded to show that they understood.

I looked at Nero again and asked politely, "Can I use the bathroom first?"

"Ah, of course."

"Thank you."

A moment later, in the bathroom, I chanted the secret words and connected to the Shiting Box.

Looking up at the starry sky, I couldn't help but open my arms.

Then, finally.

I laughed unscrupulously and loudly -

Chapter 108: What is the true self?

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

In this space where Alona was the only one present besides me, I laughed as I pleased, until tears came out, until I laughed so hard that I started to cough violently.

The blue-haired girl who had been waiting silently by my side came over and patted my back to help me calm down.

"Hahaha……"

I gasped and wiped my eyes. "It's really annoying to be so realistic to such an unnecessary degree."

"Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? It's designed like this." Alona said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, if it's not so realistic, you won't be able to see me so cute!"

"Yes, yes."

I nodded repeatedly, then held Alona's hand and looked at her lovingly: "Alona, ​​did you see that? My acting skills fooled them all! Hahaha, as long as I get serious, such a small thing can be done easily!"

Having said that, I couldn’t help but laugh again.

Nero is fine.

The so-called chairman of the seminar, the so-called minister of the Ministry of Truth, these two rare geniuses who hold the highest power in the light and dark of Millennium Science Academy, one of the three major schools of Kivotos, were actually played around by me.

"They actually...actually believed my story, thinking that I really wanted to save the machine and kill my rags? They thought I was a kind-hearted saint who didn't hold grudges?"

Yes, key and AL-1S may be two different entities.

But as Liyin said, key, why can't it be AL-1S in disguise?

I have been deceived once, and for it I paid with my life.

So, I will never let the same situation happen again.

"So, teacher," Alona tilted her head and asked curiously, "since you actually agree with Li Yin's idea and think that Alice... uh, okay, okay, you think AL-1S is a threat, why did you oppose Li Yin at that time?"

I have to say that Alona is indeed a qualified supporting actor.

"Of course, it is because making such a 'gentle' choice can be accepted by more students."

The reputation of the overly rational Liyin in Millennium and Kivotos, as well as the reactions of Himari and Nero, are enough to illustrate the public's perception.

I answered frankly, "In order to win over more students, I must do my best to protect AL-1S before it truly reveals its power to destroy Kivotos, so that those guys with naive fantasies can extend their fantasies to me."

not to mention……

"In this way," I murmured to myself, not suppressing my excitement at all, "the weapon capable of destroying all of Kivotos has fallen smoothly into my hands."

Through various means, try to completely contain AL-1S, and then transform this power that can destroy the world into something completely opposite -

At least, I didn't lie to Lion and Himari about this part.

If you can master the power of AL-1S.

Maybe, even if I never force myself to conquer any students again, I can still obtain...

Really relieved, right?

However, this is still unknown.

"First of all, we need to confirm..." I closed my eyes, "after all, we still need to find out whether AL-1S and key are the same entity."

Alona asked, "Is this important?"

This question really fits Alona's level of intelligence.

"Of course it's important."

I answered decisively.

Rather, how could this issue not be important?

"If Key is really an image played by AL-1S, then his threat level is even higher, and it is acceptable to use some extraordinary measures."

I paused. "For example, the torture that Saori mentioned... But it can't be done by Saori. She's Beatrice's person, and I don't dare to trust her... Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate."

"Is that so?" Alona nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked, "What if it's not true?"
