Chapter 540 Impossible (2/2)
“Something must have happened.” Nicole’s face twisted to the extreme as she slammed down on the accelerator. She ignored all traffic lights and charged toward her next objective. Her objective was another of the secured passageway points that she knew of. These passageways were used by the Angel Corps to enter and exit Zero City.
Suddenly, she slammed down on the brake.
She turned to look at her wrist. The delicate looking lady’s watch that she was wearing was flashing with red light.
Emergency communication signal?
Nicole rapidly turned the steering wheel, moving her vehicle to stop by the road.
The watch like device was actually an emergency communication device used by the Angel Corps.
After her ‘rebirth’, Nicole had secretly taken this with her during her last visit to Zero City.
Now that this device was suddenly showing a reaction, Nicole acted as though she had found a life-saving straw.
Without showing any hesitation, she pressed the receive button.
“Who is it?”
…
“Ah! There is a response!” Fatty jumped up in excitement only to be held down by Aunt Flame, who snapped at him, “Enough nonsense! Hurry and ask them!”
Fatty took a deep breath. He held an oval-shaped device in his hands as he quickly said, “This is an emergency call, my security code is…”
…
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Nicole knitted her brows. After listening to the other fellow’s security code however, she became stunned.
The security code did not belong to the Angel Corps. Instead…
“Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild?” Nicole suddenly recalled the identity of the person talking. “You are… … that detestable fatso?”
…
“Eh? You can recognize my voice? Who are you?” Fatty felt a tingle on his scalp and he said, “Who are you? You do sound familiar. Damn it, I can’t remember.”
…
Nicole hesitated for a moment. In the end, she chose not to reveal her identity – her rebirth was not something she could easily explain.
She settled her mind and said, “Enough, don’t spout nonsense now. Let me ask you, what is going on?”
…
“I…” Fatty cast a silent gaze at Aunt Flame, who was beside him.
Aunt Flame coldly snatched the communication device and said in a solemn tone, “I am Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild’s Thunderflame! A member of the Board of Patriarchs! You there, I order you to reveal your identity right now!”
…
Nicole flinched.
Thunderflame!
One of the titans of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild.
Nicole exhaled and quickly replied, “My identity is my guild’s confidential information. It cannot be disclosed. Ma’am Thunderflame, may I ask you why are you contacting me using the emergency channel?”
After a pause, she slowly continued, “Zero City… … what has happened?”
…
“What do you mean by that?” Thunderflame frowned. “Zero City…”
She suddenly froze. “Could it be? You also cannot contact Zero City?”
…
“… … …” Nicole felt her scalp go numb.
Biting her lips heavily, she quickly turned off the communication device.
Zero City. As expected, something has happened!
…
“The, the other party hung up.” Fatty scratched his head in frustration. “Just who is that woman? I have definitely heard that voice before, but I just can’t recall it.”
“… … …” At that moment, Thunderflame’s emotions were roiling.
After a few seconds of silence, she turned to look at Fatty and said, “I… … do remember whose voice that belonged to, but… … that is impossible!”
“Who?”
Thunderflame sneered and said, “Did you forget already? A few years back, you nearly got one of your legs broken for trying to flirt with her.”
Fatty was at a loss for a moment. Then, he swiftly jumped up. “You mean the Floating Angel? Impossible! She is already dead! Killed in action!”
After a pause, Fatty quickly continued, “Even, even if she had been resurrected, she should just be an ordinary human! How could she still have an emergency communication device? Also… … it doesn’t seem like she lost her memories!”
