Chapter 265 The call you made went unanswered.
"There are only the two of us here. Whatever your reasons for having to obey the Dark Emperor, you can speak them directly."
His voice was weak, but Genny endured the pain and kept babbling on and on.
"Ribsi, the Quark Clan will protect you. We will work together to find a way to escape the Dark Emperor's control..."
His tone was almost pleading, something he rarely did.
"I think you've got the roles mixed up, Lieyan Jianni." Under the persistent, expectant gaze, the person being waited for finally responded.
But that wasn't what he wanted to hear.
Rui Busi glanced at him, then looked away indifferently, having previously been observing the phone booth.
He took out a Dark Poison Patches and placed them on the phone booth, which was already covered with poisonous vines, his movements unhurried: "It seems that the one who needs protection right now is not me."
"The Dark Emperor has always been a man of his word." Leaning against the wall, his body covered in beads of sweat, he could barely muster any strength. He managed to utter each word slowly and deliberately, "Working for him will never end well."
This scene feels strangely familiar.
Genny suddenly remembered that when Lambo left the Magic Academy and he was struggling with whether to stay, he had leaned against this spot just like this.
No, now is not the time for reminiscing.
The abdominal pain persisted, exacerbating his anxiety.
The joy of seeing his friend vanished without a trace when the thugs guarding him and Gui Gongzai bowed respectfully. His familiar friend had changed his clothes, as if he had become a different person.
Gui Gongzai lay unconscious next to the phone booth. The Dark Soldier was dismissed by Rui Busi. He spoke words of persuasion for a long time, but the other party did not react much.
Why betray the Quark race?
He wanted to ask this question, both when he heard the gloomy duchess's description at the elven inn and, though he had some suspicions, he was unwilling to believe it, and when the dark minions treated her with such respect.
I hesitated to ask the question.
Despite the pain, his remaining rationality told him that the reason didn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter.
Why they betrayed the Quark Clan, how long they betrayed them, and what they did are all unimportant.
"We've been through so much together, you know very well what kind of person the Dark Emperor is, don't you?"
The part he couldn't understand the most.
He couldn't understand why she would make this choice even though she knew the Dark Emperor's true nature.
If, as the gloomy duchess said, he had been working for the Dark Clan all along, then why did she persuade him to stay in the first place, and why did she save so many classmates when the Dark Clan invaded the Moe Academy?
“Yes, very well, and indeed, he has always been untrustworthy,” she shrugged, her expression revealing her complete indifference to the fact, “and I don’t need his ‘trustworthiness’ either.”
Looking around the phone booth, the dark poison had dulled its color, and poisonous vines surrounded it, densely packed, forming an unsolvable puzzle.
He casually stuffed the other dark poisons into the gaps.
Okay, now the trash that's been slung around her has a place to go.
After everything was resolved, she realized that Genny seemed to have stopped talking nonsense for a while.
"Did she faint from the pain?"
As she approached, she noticed that Kenny could still barely open her eyes, so she slowed her pace and squatted down: "You're so curious, why did you go to such lengths to keep you in pain? What did you say to her?"
That made her so angry.
However, the pain suddenly intensified, and the person being questioned had no energy to answer.
"It seems she's in a bad mood right now. Hmm... let me think... The Emperor's main targets are Princess Naya and Haiti. Yinsen must be looking for Haiti in the principal's office right now."
The pain intensified once again, and Lieyan Jianni could barely hear what she was saying.
He felt himself sinking into a bottomless black hole, his consciousness hazy, as if he had returned to the day he first came to Meng Academy, falling and falling from the phone booth, never reaching the bottom.
Rui Bu Si was the first person he and Lan Bao met and the first friend they made when they came to Meng Academy.
"Speak louder, I can't hear you."
"Ah?" She took another step closer. "My dear friend, it's not that my voice is soft, it's that you're about to faint from the pain. There's nothing I can do about it, her temper has always been bad, and proportionally, her ability to find things has always been poor."
"What will she do next? It's hard to guess." He stood up and straightened his robes. "Hopefully, our poor Principal Pa isn't in the teachers' office."
Just then, static from a broadcast sounded overhead, followed by intermittent assembly announcements from the ground.
Rui Bu Si expressed deep regret: "He was indeed unlucky."
Just like the unlucky guy in front of her.
Oh, and there's another unfortunate soul with her, I almost forgot.
But why gather everyone together?
Hmm... I guess the spacetime rift is too lonely, and since it's a rare opportunity to come out, it wants to find some young people to chat with.
"It's almost time." She still had things to do, and being caught by either side at this point would be a terrible hassle.
Having too many friends can also be a problem.
She didn't want to hear the same thing from someone else right after hearing the same question from Kenny.
It's tiresome to answer the same question repeatedly, and most of the time the feedback is "I don't believe it".
[While you're figuring out how to arrange the poison vines to make the phone booth look better, the sinister Duchess attempts to contact you through the Moonstone a total of 138 times.]
"Huh?" She straightened her expression and glanced at the unlucky guy, who might have fainted. "I thought she was angry because she couldn't find Haiti."
No wonder they needed to gather everyone together.
Yes, a simple and direct way to find people.
So now she has to hurry up and leave.
Should we consider taking the initiative to contact the Emperor?
If there's disharmony among employees, shouldn't the boss step in to mediate?
Her departure was interrupted as soon as it began, and following the force, she saw the source of the obstacle.
Still not unconscious?
Flame Star is really troublesome.
"What about Miya Star? Don't you care?"
"Oh, don't worry, I'll take care of him," he said, pulling out his robe. "Go to sleep if you're tired."
