264 She Who Died 2 (2/2)
”Save me!!! Leo!!! Save me!!! I can hear the voice in my head saying I'll be dying soon!!!”
As if reminded by something very important, the boy made a thinking pose and widened his eyes at Chris.
”Wait! I just realized, the real problem is... When did you newbie become this insane? You're supposed to be the sanest of us all. Even that woman had gone mad when her man went MIA for three years. As for you, your innate mental strength is quite good even amongst us or else how could you remain a harmless human aircon? Apart from that, though quite not right in her head, she's like us, and given your state, it would be dangerous for you to bet that she's lower leveled than you! Also, this woman is still that girl's mother. You're supposed to exercise more caution.”
'Damn, the first few words he said mean he's aware of most things about me and Sofony!'
The half-host felt a chill in his heart, but outwardly merely said, ”I'm only a cornered rat. And exactly because she's a dead friend's mother that I did not kill her.”
Leo pouted. He chopped on her nape and rendered her unconscious. Apparently he was annoyed by Alda's whining which resounded in his ears even when he was talking to the half-host. Seeing this, Alessa and Steffy unconsciously held their breath.
'So ruthless..'
Chris lowered his head a bit and seriously asked Leo. ”Are you an enemy or just a busybody in the current fight?”
”Heh, you ask? Good that you didn't immediately have those brain dead minions of yours outside rain down stuff on me. Hahahaha, as expected you're probably even brighter than Sofony Mendez. Am I an enemy or not, what do you think?”
”Why do you have to do this? You're a teleporter who can appear anywhere you want. If your goal is to kill me, it's as easy as pie for you...” The half-host muttered as if he was contemplating. ”All I can think is that you're not really working with that woman. But the bombs are yours. And she knows you.”
Leo's eyes formed two twinkling crescents, taking joy at the actor's confusion. He decided to be generous again to the man.
”Thank your luck for being cloneless. The answer is she's an experiment subject. Hehehe. Don't ask of whom. We're still quite humane so since she requested to see her daughter and you, we fulfilled it. I thought this Alda planned to stage a ghost marriage between you and that supposedly dead girl. Hahaha. It's so funny. She's actually aware that the daughter she killed is actually alive!”
'That's not in the video shown...'
With a flip of a hand, a gun appeared. A second later, a bullet bought from the system was shot to the translucent round device lying on the floor.
He took a deep breath, remembering the teenage boy mentioning 'we'. His face turned grimmer.
”Leo Jones how about we stop now.” Chris proposed solemnly. ”Don't force me to fight, boy. I'm weaker personally. But my brain is working well enough to hack through the military. The real threat from my side is that I also locked the space the same time that you did.”
”Oh?” The Level 6 system user appeared intrigued. ”Does it mean once the device expiration comes, you'll have those braindead folks surrounding this house to rain down attacks at me while you hide inside a barrier?”
Chris disregarded the mocking tone of the boy playing with grenades using both hands. ”You told me I'm the sanest of us all so of course you know I won't come here without any preparation. You're right, this place is surrounded by people mind controled by me. Unlike Sofony, I have no reservations using the army as I please. But what if I tell you that before having them fired waves of bullets and explosives here, I plan to drown this place with crude oils while activating another space lock?”
Alessa trembled at the crazy words Chris mouthed with the same expressionless face.
Leo clapped as he understood the intention. ”Ooh, quite genius. If you time it well, perhaps before I warp away, even I might die.”
The half-host self-mockingly smile. ”Of course, there's a high chance that you'll survive. I honestly don't know what you can do. Who knows if you have other life saving skills apart from body swap and teleportation? Aunt Alda is initially a puzzle to me too. Precisely because I have so many things I'm not sure about that I formulated many extreme plans before coming here.”
Chris laughed but added in a cold tone, ”Believe it or not, I am even ready to have this whole city wiped off of the world map by a nuclear bomb if I and Alessa died...”
”...”
To this serious declaration from Chris, even the lunatic bomber fell speechless. Alessa subconsciously grabbed the man's shirt, her fingers trembling. Steffy who had finally regained her ability to speak murmured in a low voice.
”Crazy...” The girl curled up in the corner and cried for her sister to save her from the bunch of crazies in the room.
As for whether she understood why the madwoman kept saying she was her hated daughter, the fear for her life made her unable to process the information in her brain.
...
Right outside of the seemingly haunted house, two people stopped before a blockade of armed people surrounding it.
One of the men frowned. The other said in a calm tone, ”Most of them seemed to be soldiers. Should I ask them to make way or leave?”
A voice commanding both respect and awe replied, ”Don't bother. They're all probably under hypnosis. Let's just bypass them. I want to finish this as soon as possible and go home.”
The one who asked was dumbfounded at first but then recovered and slightly bowed his head, ”By your will...”
