242 Maila 4 (1/2)
Sofia was not being stupid when she had the woman sent to a private lab to have her be checked up for anything inside.
Actually, with or without equipment specialized in seeing through the inside of a body, nothing would be found since the items were from the system.
Still, Sofia wanted Maila to see for herself that there was no threat in her life from within anymore. It was the truth anyway.
When she dragged the other into Lauren Walker's laboratory, she was not also so stupid to notify Chris or her Original about this.
There was a chance that an immoral host was lurking around.
It would be enough that only she was exposed.
When the result of the examination came out, Maila threw her a complicated gaze. If the woman was as intelligent as said, then she must have a hunch now what the real case was. The examinations were senseless.
However, Sofia liked that the blonde did not speak, riding along with this almost nonsensical way of proving her point.
”We did not come to visit you tonight. Please remember that.”
After hypnotizing everyone from the laboratory of this, Sofia led the woman out of there. Instead of taking the car, Sofia ignored the discomfort of the blonde and opted for public transportation, a bullet train.
”Why here?” Maila whispered to Sofia in a hushed tone as they sat side by side on two of the available seats.
At first, the idol was afraid of being recognized and swarmed at by their fans. Since it was a public transport, there would be bound to be a few dozens of people who knew them, especially Sofia.
However, time passed and no one came to bother them. It seemed the black-haired actress slash singer had done something out of normal people's common sense. Perhaps, an illusion?
Sofia replied, ”Car is no good. If that Sir Gu who is currently in this city is a person who can teleport and he appears in the backseat while we're driving and talking, we'll be doomed. I can probably survive. But how about you?”
Maila went silent, thinking of what she implied.
Even though it had been three years since she became involved with the supernatural and unexplainable, it was still sometimes hard to digest those monster-like people who could do wonders exist.
But she understood what the actress wanted to tell her.
Sir Gu could indeed teleport. According to what she remembered.
And if that person learned of her betrayal, no matter how many nights they had spent together, her life would surely not be spared.
Even if she was someone who he called his non-host supporter.
Ten minutes later, it was probably divine providence that no enemy or whoever appeared to obstruct them.
Maybe if that Sir Gu was around, he was busy bedding women or even if he was at work, maybe it was not yet necessary them he would be targeting.
No matter which one, it worked for the two women's convenience.
...
The turn of events these past few days was quite like a roller-coaster ride.
A day after Sofony returned with Gio to Alina City, Steffy and Wendy also appeared at the airport.
Wendy was kidnapped, then rescued.
Unfortunately, for a reason unknown to both all the hosts on Sofony's side, the woman fell into a seemingly indefinite coma.
The morning after that day, Alessa learned that Chris was temporarily sheltering a kid rescued from the desert base of the organization.
As for Sofony, she checked on Wendy again, only to find that she was still unconscious.
Lastly, Amelia Morgan, Alessa's older sister went to Crypto for a meet up with a higher-up of the mercenary association she had contacts with last time. After the talk which mostly had to do with Alessa, the woman ended up toyed in bed by that higher-up called Mr. Gu, an immoral host.
When the next morning came, Gu Yimu, the one who tumbled in bed with Amelia woke up, preached upon by another core member of the organization. At the same time, he was informed that the mid-level system user in the city was Sofony, and he was in charge of finding out everything about them.
It was such a coincidence that the woman was someone Amelia Morgan wanted him to eliminate in the world.
At Sofia's place, Maila visited the actress just to rant. But because of this that Sofia became curious about her reason for hating Alessa Morgan.
When she discovered it was due to a trafficking incident from five years ago, her curiosity deepened which then led to another discovery.
At a museum somewhere in Country F, Leo Jones resurfaced as a very young appraiser.
