Mi Xue agreed so readily, which meant there was definitely a trap.
The New World was virtual, and the real Ceruno did not exist here. If I wanted to solve the problem... I really did need to go to sleep.
I was not someone accustomed to using my brain, relying mostly on intuition most of the time. Yet intuition did not work so well in the New World, so I still had to start thinking.
Walking through the corridors of the Lunar Palace, I followed Mi Xue from a distance until we reached an ornate set of double doors, though Mi Xue stopped right there.
"Miss Terra, then I'll have to trouble you to take little aunt Miluno to see Aunt Ceruno! It's not really convenient for me to show my face..."
"You still feel guilty?" I asked.
Keeping her distance, Mi Xue fidgeted and said:
"I don't want to be disliked by Aunt, but this is also a last resort. I hope you can understand... Of course, I'll give it up now... I'll find a way from a socio-level perspective to make humans better..."
That little girl was full of lies. She stepped aside to let me enter the room.
Terra pushed open the door to take a look. It was still that familiar palace where Mi Xue had once broadcasted live to the whole world. Ceruno was locked inside a large cage in the center of the grand hall. The cage had the area of a small bedroom. Never mind the pillows and quilt, there were even a computer, manga, and a gaming console.
"Give this to you."
Mi Xue tossed something shiny over. After catching it, I realized it was a key.
"If Aunt Ceruno comes out, don't let her leave this palace first."
"...Fine."
