Just Bad Luck

Under the spotlight of thousands, Alisa seemed oblivious to everything. Her delicate face remained devoid of emotion, as if she were uninterested in everything around her, or as if she had long been accustomed to it all. She strode confidently from the opposite corridor toward the conference room.

Just then, they walked right towards Fang Li group.

"Will that new type also participate in this operation?" Sakuya Tachibana asked with some surprise. "Didn't it just join the Russian Branch not long ago?"

This time, the opponents are not only tens of thousands of Aragami, but also Aphrodite is listed as Forbidden Kind.

Given such a formidable enemy, it is easy to imagine how dangerous this operation would be.

Alisa is not only a newly joined God Eater in the Russian Branch, but also an extremely rare new type.

Logically speaking, the Russian Branch should have protected such a valuable potential asset as much as possible, and should not have pushed him onto this extremely dangerous battlefield.

"Even so, he is, after all, a rising star in the Russian Branch. Our Far East Branch might protect newcomers, but he might have a different strategy. In short, it's not something we can control," Soma said. "So, let's think about our own affairs."

After saying that, Soma also walked towards the conference room.

Sakuya Tachibana and Soma immediately followed.

Seeing this, Fang Li had no choice but to follow as well.

And so, Fang Li and Alisa gradually grew closer together.

They met at the door of the conference room and passed each other.

In that instant, Alisa, who had been looking indifferent, couldn't help but glance Fang Li.

Fang Li's profile made Alisa's gaze suddenly sharpen.

I had seen what Alisa said before.

I've seen that profile picture.

Although the other party kept his face hidden under his military cap during the standoff, Alisa did see his profile.

Without any hesitation.

Alisa suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Li.

"Smack—!"

With a crisp sound, Fang Li's hand was grabbed as he walked past Alisa.

At that moment, Fang Li's heart suddenly tightened.

"Huh?" Soma, Sakuya Tachibana, and Soma turned around and saw this scene, and were stunned on the spot.

As for the people around them, they were all astonished.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Did that soldier offend our new type of soldier?"

The commotion quickly spread throughout the entire corridor.

However, these voices had absolutely no effect on the two parties involved.

Alisa held Fang Li's hand tightly, her azure eyes fixed on Fang Li face.

Fang Li met Alisa 'Alisa gaze instantly.

In that instant, it was as if the entire world had shrunk to just Fang Li and Alisa.

Both of them stared at each other, but neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until Soma, Sakuya Tachibana, and Soma reacted that Fang Li finally made a move.

Glancing at Alisa's sharp eyes and the way she was gripping his wrist tightly, Fang Li asked with some confusion, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"

Alisa did not answer, her gaze fixed intently on Fang Li's face.

After a long pause, Alisa finally spoke in a low voice.

Is that you?

These words left those around him bewildered, but they also calmed Fang Li down.

I originally thought I had been exposed, but now it seems that the other party is not sure that I was the intruder last night, but only has suspicions for some reason.

This is understandable.

After all, no matter what, Alisa had never seen the full picture of Fang Li, only a rough outline.

Even if the profile looks familiar, it's only a matter of suspicion.

Understanding this, Fang Li felt reassured. He scratched his head, his expression growing increasingly puzzled, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Alisa frowned, her gaze on Fang Li growing sharper as if trying to discern something, and she gripped Fang Li's hand tighter and tighter.

Under these circumstances, not Fang Li did Fang Li frown, but the whispers around him also became increasingly noisy.

"Rindou." Sakuya Tachibana lowered her voice and said to Soma, "That new type, could it be the rookie God Eater that Fang Li- kun subdued yesterday?"

Soma did not answer, clearly having guessed this as well.

"This is getting a bit troublesome..."

This is indeed a bit troublesome.

Fang Li believed that although he was a novice, his infiltration operation last night was flawless and without any faults; it could be called perfect.

But as a result, trouble still arose.

It wasn't that Fang Li did anything wrong; it was just that Fang Li was unlucky and happened to run into a troublesome person like Alisa, who also keenly discovered him.

However, Fang Li never revealed any flaws.

So, it's just a little troublesome.

Just as Soma was about to step in to help, Fang Li said this to Alisa.

"Although I don't know what happened, beautiful lady, if there's anything you'd like to talk to me about, I'd be happy to oblige."

"But before that, could you please let go of my hand? For an ordinary person like me, the God Eater is really too great."

Hearing this, Alisa finally came to her senses and subconsciously let go of her hand.

"Thank you." Fang Li then rotated his wrist, pretending to feel real pain.

As she looked at Fang Li, Alisa's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and Fang Li gaze grew increasingly cold.

Finally, Alisa turned around and walked into the adjacent conference room without saying another word.

The whispers around them grew even louder.

Soma, Sakuya Tachibana, and Soma then approached.

"How are you?" Soma asked. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Fang Li shook his head, his expression remaining calm. "That girl hasn't confirmed my identity yet, it's alright."

"But she's already suspicious of you, hasn't she?" Soma continued, "Are you sure you're okay?"

"No problem." Fang Li smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the conference room door as he murmured to himself.

"It's just that I'm a bit unlucky."

Rather, this is more in line with the difficulty level of A-Class Side Mission.

"We need to think about what to do next."
