Chapter 447 - WELCOME TO LUNA ADVENTURES (1/2)
Akira walked for a while from the wreckage of her car before she dialled the number Kaito had made her memorise. Even though she was a little apprehensive about the things Ayumi said and the new information she had, she was still choosing to trust Kaito.
If things did not work out, well, she would return as a vengeful ghost and pull Kaito to the grave.
The thought made her smile a little as she heard the dial tone indicating that the call was engaged. In the depths of her heart, she knew that Kaito would not betray her. Her concerns came from her logical mind which was used to analysing things stably and calmly.
When the call connected, no one spoke. Instead, the other end started playing circus-style music. Akira removed the phone from her ear and looked at the screen. She confirmed that she had dialled the correct number. She placed the phone back to her ear and listened to the bizarre music.
She wondered if she should have tried the given number earlier to confirm the validity. However, Kaito had made her promise that she would never call it unless she were at the end of the rope. He said that once the number was dialled, one could not turn back without consequences.
The memory made her a little apprehensive.
”Welcome to Luna Adventures, where the fun never stops.” An automated voice spoke up with an upbeat tone. ”Please enter your personal identification number and begin the best escapade of your life.”
Akira was a little freaked out by the progress of things, but she once again decided to trust Kaito. She pulled up the keypad and keyed in the PIN Kaito had given her after making her memorise the phone number.
”Your request is being processed. Thank you for choosing Luna Adventures for your escapades.” The automated voice chimed.
The circus music continued, irritating Akira to no end. She had always thought that the number would connect to a specific person who would give her helpful information. Who knew that she was connected to a kooky service that said 'scam'?
But again, she was not as familiar with the dark underworld as Kaito. Even though she was experienced in certain aspects of that life, she always dealt with everything from the side of the law. It was inevitable that she had some knowledge gaps about how the underworld worked.
If the dark life were as clear-cut as most people believed, all criminals would have been eliminated a long time ago. The fact that crime was a core part of the world despite the best efforts made by heroes of justice meant that they had even better resources.
”Your evacuation request has been approved.” The automated voice spoke up. ”Your transportation will arrive at your location in twenty minutes. Please remain on Valley Road for the indicated time for efficiency and convenience.”
There was a pause before the original cheerful automated voice changed to a different more sombre one.
”Welcome to Luna Adventures. Your safety is our priority. While using our services, remember to adhere to the terms and conditions of use. A failure to comply with the rules will result in a fine, a lifetime ban and immediate termination of services.”
”When your transportation arrives, please step in and rest in our proprietary life capsule. The life capsule is an advanced pod that ensures comfort and safety through the evacuation process. The life capsule will have no adverse effect on your health.”
”For your privacy and protection, you and your removalist will not come in direct contact during the evacuation. At your drop-off point, an alarm will sound, and the life capsule will open. At this point, please exit with your belongings.”
