Chapter 1118 - Man of Cooperation (1/2)

“It just doesn’t feel right to me…”

Standing at the summit of the hill and gazing at the Americas Region’s headquarters ahead, Mini Bubble Gum curled her lips and grumbled. Canary and Erin stood beside her, knitting their brows and scanning the buildings. At a glance, one could see the white, silent moon surface, as well as the sky full of stars. However, this was just one of the most common sceneries on this planet. The moon base headquarters stood tall and upright below them and nothing seemed abnormal. But for some reason, Mini Bubble Gum felt like something wasn’t quite right. The high-tech buildings standing before her seemed more like an enormous, metallic, and lifeless coffin that was used in a funeral parlor to store dead bodies and was eady to be thrown into the cremation furnace. Even though it didn’t seem dangerous, it left one’s blood running cold and Mini Bubble Gum was unsure if it was due to its presence or the environment it was in. For instance, a doll placed inside a little girl’s room might just be a symbol of innocence. However, if it were placed in a shabby attic, it would be seen as a sinister sign.

So which category did the moon base headquarters belong to? Even though everything seemed normal, it gave one a strange, abnormal feeling with its strong, deep, and mysterious presence.

“Alright, let’s go. It seems like they are prepared this time, so it won’t be as easy as we think.”

Erin shifted her gaze away from the base. She was equally as dubious as Canary and Mini Bubble gum because the location of the black slate which she should have been able to detect clearly seemed to be concealed by a layer of mist. She was only able to detect its rough position. Not only that, but she also sensed an incredibly unusual and powerful presence around the slate. Even though she didn’t know what it was, she was certain that it was something on a higher level than the creatures she had met before.

“In this world, are there any individuals with powerful abilities?”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing Erin’s question, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were taken aback. Then, Canary shook her head while Mini Bubble Gum spread her arms apart.

“We’re not too sure either, Your Highness Erin. Big Sister and I are only civilians, so even if Men In Black, The Avengers, Captain America, and whatnot exist, we wouldn’t know. After all, they are considered core secrets of the government…” Mini Bubble Gum swirled her eyes and said. Then, she asked. “What’s wrong? Did you sense some powerful guys in there, Your Highness Erin?”

“I’m not sure, but I did sense some mysterious presence.”

Erin answered, before pondering in silence and shaking her head.

“Forget it, we’ll know once we get in.”

Erin said, before turning around and headed down the hill slope. Canary and Mini Bubble Gum exchanged looks with each other and followed her closely. At this moment, they heard a crisp and rather lazy voice all of a sudden.

“Canary, Bubble, wait.”

“Huh?!”

Upon hearing the voice, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum almost jumped up in shock. They were on the moon and there wasn’t any air for sound to travel through. In fact, all communications between the two young ladies were through the communication device in the spacesuits that transmitted voice directly to their ears. Due to this reason, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were astounded by the strange voice. Moreover, it would be impossible for them to not be surprised for one to suddenly call out their names on this empty moon surface. The two young ladies turned around instinctively, but there was no one behind them, of course.

“W-Who’s there? Are you a ghost?”

Even though they had witnessed all sorts of strange occurrences while being together with Erin, the happenings were more or less within their cognition. But for a voice to suddenly ring in their ears all of a sudden on this empty moon surface, this could be considered the plot of a sci-fi thriller, right?

“Where are you two looking at… I’m right here; at your bottom right. There is a moon exploration vehicle. Do you see it?”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing the voice, the two young ladies walked to the edge of the hill and looked down curiously. Indeed, there was a white moon exploration vehicle in the crater ahead. At this moment, the voice rang again.

“Come on over. Let’s have a talk. By the way, Her Highness Erin… invite her along too.”

“Huh? Wait, who are you? Hello?”

Even though Mini Bubble Gum raised her doubts quickly, the other party didn’t respond at all. Canary and Mini Bubble Gum exchanged difficult looks with each other. After all, that voice was too odd. Not only did she know their identities, but she also seemed to be really familiar with them. Also, how did she know who Erin was? As the two young ladies pondered, Erin’s voice rang in their heads this time.

“Let’s take a look, Miss Canary, Miss Bubble.”

“Will everything be fine, Your Highness Erin?”
