"Oh my~ I certainly didn't expect to see you here."
Gentle and sunny, like a friendly older boy next door, the bespectacled man in priestly robes walked over with a smile, supporting a member of the Judgment Court.
Before Ye Qiyan could turn toward the voice.
Eve, who had remained on alert, locked onto him first.
"Oh my, how frightening. That lock-on ability-is it a Security Sentry? Hmm? Its appearance has changed? Hehe, my friend, I mean no harm."
That voice sounded a little familiar.
That smile was inexplicably sickening.
Holmes Lane.
A member of the Imperial Sequence Organization known as the Smiling Tiger.
Monrojina had already said this fellow was in Solo City, so Ye Qiyan was not at all surprised that he appeared at this moment.
"Lai... an?"
"Hehe~ It seems you remembered my name, young man~ Oh, and if you ever need train maintenance again, remember to come to me."
Lane adjusted his monocle, that sunny, gentle smile resting on his face. Anyone would instinctively think he was a man worth trusting.
But it was so fake...
He had not felt that way before.
Perhaps it was because his spirit had increased.
He had become more sensitive to many things.
"Are you here to help, sir? Is it really all right for you to stand around chatting with me?"
Lane set down the unconscious Judgment Court member, clapped his hands, and looked around.
"Indeed. For certain personal reasons, I have no choice but to remain here and hold off as many outsiders as possible until she dies or defeats that god. For example~"
His gaze fell on the distance.
Dark golden points of light appeared on the Substitute Rights Cube Russell had placed there.
Those points of light gathered in the air into an expanse of nothingness.
