Chapter 970 Luo Convergence
Xiao Ran, Chidori, and Sousuke Sagara all stayed up all night because of what happened yesterday. However, compared to the physical fitness of Chidori and Sousuke Sagara, staying up all night will not give Xiao Ran brought no fatigue, and in order to allow Sousuke Sagara to better perform the task the next day, Xiao Ran took over the escort of Chidori and let Sousuke Sagara go to rest.
Especially after Mithril sent a message to Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran became a lot more cautious.
From the mouth of Richard, Xiao Ran learned that the A21 behemoth with λ-DIRVER was not manufactured by them personally. A21 did not have any technical conditions at all, and the AS called the behemoth was actually provided by Amalgam, the old enemy of Mithril.
Even the qualified modulation of Takuma's λ-DRIVER was done by Amalgam. Whether there was a deeper purpose is unknown. But the key point is that the city A21 chose to destroy happened to be the city where Chidori was located. From this point of view, Xiao Ran had to pay more attention to it, and this news did make Xiao Ran feel a little bit wrong.
He originally thought that the behemoth was created by A21 himself, but he did not expect that it was given by amalgam. In other words, A21 did not have any Whisperers at all, so how could the participant Luo come to A21 and mix with this motley crew.
This seems a bit inexplicable to Xiao Ran. It is impossible for Luo to deliberately give up Main Mission, or even ignore the mission just to mess with Side Mission triggered by A21?
Xiao Ran shook his head. This is obviously impossible. The proportion of Main Mission in every Mission World is not small. At least for the bottom participants, they all rely on Main Mission to obtain rewards, so it is absolutely impossible for Luo to give up the task easily. So either Luo already has a Whisperer in his possession, or Luo may have something to do with amalgam.
Xiao Ran rubbed his head, looked up at Sousuke Sagara who was sleeping on the sofa opposite him, and then looked at the closed door of the bedroom. He breathed out gently, took out a mobile phone from his arms and threw it gently, muttering to himself, "Why are you thinking so much? As long as that guy contacts me, you can know everything."
For three days, Xiao Ran waited for three full days, and Chidori and Sousuke Sagara also worked as good students for three days. It was not until noon on the third day, when the sun hung in the middle of the sky, that the mobile phone obtained from Luo finally rang.
Xiao Ran glanced at the phone that was full of numbers, and then pressed the button to connect. As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard a male voice ringing on the phone.
"I am Luo."
"Where are you?"
Xiao Ran didn't ask Luo why he chose to contact him only on the third day. The two parties signed a temporary team contract. If he chose to betray, it would definitely be something Luo couldn't pay. The price, even if there are other participants sharing it with him, is the same. The harsh and severe teaming system has completely rejected the existence of betrayal from the beginning. If Luo chooses to betray, then he has only one way left to choose, and that is death.
For this reason, Xiao Ran would not ask him what he had done in the past three days, but directly asked him where he was. Half an hour later, Xiao Ran found Luo in a hotel suite.
Seeing Luo again, the other person was wearing neat, clean clothes that were easy to move around, and his refreshing short hair made him look energetic. However, Xiao Ran could see a deep tiredness on the other person's face, and even felt Luo's weakness at this time.
"Coming."
"Yeah."
"Come in." Luo said and took the initiative to step away from the door. He waited until Xiao Ran entered the room before closing the door. After Xiao Ran walked into the room, he saw the third person in the room, a girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, with long brown hair, eyes filled with pity, fear but did not dare to make a sound.
The first time he saw this girl, Xiao Ran was sure that she was probably the Whisperer that Luo was looking for, but he had no way of knowing whether this girl was a truly awakened Whisperer. However, from the eyes of the other party, it seemed that he could feel that this girl did not appear here voluntarily.
Xiao Ran turned to look at Luo standing behind him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's going on?"
"This is my mission goal." Luo exhaled and shook his head, then sat down on the sofa in the suite and waved to the girl.
The girl glanced at Xiao Ran and then at Luo, but she did not follow Luo's instructions and walked to Luo. Instead, she shrank slightly and buried her head slightly.
"Damn it, I said I would protect you and I wouldn't sell you. Why are you so scared?" Luo yelled at the girl in displeasure, which made the girl even more frightened and began to sob without thinking about crying.
"That's enough!" Xiao Ran frowned and glanced coldly at Luo. He walked up to the girl and gently touched the trembling girl's head with his hand. His eyes slightly lit up with golden light at an angle that Luo and the girl couldn't see. Then he began to comfort the girl in front of him with soft words.
"Okay, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. If you need any help, just tell me." Xiao Ran gently stroked the other person's hair and said warmly, "It's okay, don't be so nervous, relax or take a good rest."
Xiao Ran used his transformer ability to convey his tenderness and friendliness to the girl with all his strength, and the girl seemed to feel a reliable power from Xiao Ran's hands. Her trembling body calmed down slightly, and she nodded lightly with her slightly lowered head.
"I... I'm scared."
Luo looked at Xiao Ran's actions, and then looked at the girl's non-rejecting appearance. He was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head away with a very dissatisfied snort. Xiao Ran ignored Luo at all, and just picked up the girl and entered the bedroom. He put the girl on the bed with a smile, covered her with a quilt and stayed by the girl's side without saying a word.
Almost half an hour later, Xiao Ran walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the bedroom door so as not to disturb the girl who finally fell asleep when she was talking to Luo.
Xiao Ran sat opposite Luo, frowned slightly and asked, "What is going on? Your condition seems not normal?"
"Nothing, this is the mission target I found." Luo was a little impatient, but after taking a look at Xiao Ran, he still replied, "It happened that the target I found was also targeted by others, but I just grabbed it from others a step too late."
"Just what happened in the past three days?" Xiao Ran was stunned. Main Mission It's going to be over soon. It's probably too exaggerated for this guy to just find a Whisperer now.
But Luo shook his head, rubbed his head and said:
"I found her one month after the mission started, and stayed with her until I came into contact with A21. I left just before the mission. Who knew that after I returned, I discovered that someone else was eyeing her. After a battle, I snatched the girl back and ran back to Japan with her in despair."
Xiao Ran suddenly understood, nodded and asked, "I see, then where did you find her? Where is her family?"
"It's dead. I didn't kill it anyway." Luo curled his lips indifferently and said, "A small coastal country in the Eurasia area. By the way, the giant beast you killed was also found on my head and transported by me personally. It's not a loss if I don't continue after the two consecutive missions are completed."
Hearing this information Xiao Ran frowned again. "People from A21?"
Luo spread his hands. "The woman from A21 seems to be the boss of this organization, and there are others. But she left after arriving in Japan. At that time, I also did a few mercenary missions there and made some money, which made me somewhat famous. I didn't expect that when they contacted me, they actually triggered Side Mission, so I accepted it."
After listening to Luo's words, Xiao Ran also understood the development here. Luo found his goal one month after the mission started, but he didn't fully decide whether to choose protection or control. Anyway, he just stayed by this girl's side, doing a few mercenary missions to make some money, and also gained a little fame.
Then A21 needed to carry the behemoth. Perhaps because he didn't completely believe in amalgam or for other reasons, he chose to hire Luo to help. At that time, Luo received the continuity Side Mission and came to Japan with the behemoth. But who knew that after giving up the follow-up mission and returning to the girl, he discovered that someone else was planning to cook for himself.
What happened next was probably a fight. It's hard to say whether the machine was used or not. Anyway, after all the hard work, the girl with her dead relative came to Japan. Apart from joining him, she had no intention of needing Xiao Ran's protection.
After thinking about this, Xiao Ran also glanced at Luo with a half-smile, but the latter had no feeling at all for Xiao Ran's meaningful smile, or it could be said that it was an indifferent attitude, and he could do whatever you want with a knife.
"Okay, I probably know what's going on." Xiao Ran crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa and said, "But it's not appropriate for you to lock her in a hotel like this. I'll arrange for her to find a school to study in, and you will be responsible for carrying out the protection task with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest."
"Whatever." Luo shook his head. Anyway, things have progressed like this, and he doesn't have much choice.
After finishing the gossip, Xiao Ran was ready to talk about business with Luo.
