Thompson diam sejenak. Seorang traitor di dalam Indus. Isu itu sudah dia ketahui, tapi tak pernah dia anggap serius. Indus menerima semua orang yang menyebut dirinya Indus sampai sekarang. Itu membuat suluk mengukur ukuran Indus, dan lebih suluk lagi untuk tahu siapa di atas dia, siapa pemimpinnya. Tak apa jika sedikit air kotor seep di bagian bawah. Mereka bisa filter itu dan isi kembali. Tapi bagaimana jika air kotor itu sudah rise sampai atas? Nang lain, bagaimana jika seseorang di level kepemimpian Indus adalah traitor? "Hm, kalau begitu ada chance kamu juga traitor, kan?" Cain kata flatly. Dia tak react banyak terhadap provokasi itu. Tch, Thompson klik lidahnya saat Cain terus berkata. [Berang ini, pikiran dengan possibility itu. Kamu tak tahu siapa yang lakukan betrayal. Jika itu kamu, saya, Kraken, atai Skyler, kita perlu eliminate mereka langsung.] "Whoa, tak boleh begitu hasty. Kita belum tahu siapa yang muddied air itu. Bisa jadi salah satu orang level bawah." [...Ah. Jika saya akan andaian worst case, then perlu ada yang optimistic.] "Kamu sedang sarcastic?" Thompson berhenti nang dan frown. Dia retract teleskop dan slip kembali ke bra prosthesis dia. Cain terus berkata selama itu. [Oh jah, kapan Kraken datang? Dia masih pikiran apa mau dengan spare heart itu?] "Tak tahu. Kamu harus ask dia." [Gah, begitu irresponsibul. Kraken perlu finish bisnes dia cepat supaya kita bisa proceed di sini. Kamu harus tahu itu,] Thompson turn badan dia dan establish stance dia. Dia check fungsi prosthesis dengan setiap finger dia. Saat dia dengan mekanikal whirring, dia feel ada something approaching di distance. [Oke, saya check itu.] Saat dia put phone dia away, identity presence yang Thompson feel itu reveal. Dia seorang wanita dengan gait stiff dan impression sangat stern. "......Kamu mau apa?" Thompson ask, feign composure, dan wanita itu respond dengan style yang mirip. Namun, kedua mereka tak pernah let guard down. Ini summit rocky yang look atas sky train. Nang lain, ini highland rugged dengan cliff tepat di belakang. Ini bukan place di mana seorang wanita akan datang tanpa reason. "Saya Isamaya, guru Constel. Saya di sini untuk detain kamu. Kamu mau cooperate?" "Kamu detain siapa?" Thompson laugh. Prosthesis dia make sound seperti engine start up. Thompson sudah activate prosthesis dengan infuse mana. "Jika saya run, kamu tak akan bisa detain saya, kan?" Isamaya take out sebuah kacamata dari bag dia. Saat dia put itu, face dia yang sudah stern jadi bahkan lebih stern. "Aha, saya perlu kepiaw supaya tak kill kamu oleh takil." "......Crazy b*tch ini!" Thompson first yang charge. Kora hide di bottom cliff itu. Sekelek setelah itu, someone approach dia. "Kamu sudah wait lama? Kora." Itu Pascal, smile gently. So far semua pergi sesuai plan. "Frondier ke mana?" "......Dia move untuk jalakan oparasi." Pascal tak tahu detail oparasi Frondier, hanya bahwa Osprey terlibat. Semua trust word Osprey. Ada beberapa hal yang dia bisa predict, tho. Osprey float di midair sebagai bait untuk attract member Indus. Fakt, sebuah mystic spider girl memang appear. Dia fake, yang. Tapi goal real Osprey itu prolly untuk find another Zodiac dalam Indus, 'Heldre.' Jika Indus really mau 'revolusi,' Osprey adalah enemy yang paling bothersome bagi mereka. Jika Indus really plan untuk do something di aerial Railway, Osprey sudah personally enter heart teritori enemy untuk welcome mereka. Untuk lure Heldre out. 'Hm, tapi ini masih terlalu dangerous.' Pascal tak tahu seberapa strong Osprey dan Heldre, tapi dia reason bahwa antara dua Zodiac, yang attack first ada advantage. 'Surely Frondier bukan plan untuk...' Frondier plan untuk do something ke Heldre setelah lure dia out? Itu akan jadi yang paling dangerous, atai lebih tepat reckless oparasi yang participation bisa terlibat. Kora sidente speak dengan voice tensi. Pascal berhenti pikiran. Sepertinya ada something else yang perlu kepiaw first. "Ada something there. Di depan kita." Pascal dan Kora stand di bottom cliff. Ada plain vast dan kosong di depan. Tak ada yang block view mereka, dan mereka tak bisa see anyone. Tapi, sama seperti Kora kata, something definitely approach mereka. Saat invisible thing itu datang lebih dekat, cliff wall itu sidente shatter. Potongan batuan huge fly seperti mereka ada will sendiri dan gather di depan Kora dan Pascal. Batuan itu stick satu ke yang lain dan assemble sendiri jadi shape leg, arm, helm, dan armor. Armor dari batuan yang demikian complete, dalam helm itu fill dengan kegelapan, tapi sak elah, itu kosong total. Surprisingly, ada voice yang flow out. Kora, look at bastar itu, wrinkle nose dia. "......Thing itu, tak smell atah." Pascal narrow mata. Most ghost tetap di realita, presence mereka blur karena mereka sudah die sekali. Most tak ada memori dan wander aimless. Form ghost jenis itu blurry bahkan saat sense mereka dengan mana. Mereka eventual akan disappear jika left alone. Namun, mereka yang tetap dengan juka jelas, grudge, dan killing intent, yang common disebut evil spirit, ada form lebih jelas. Namun, bahkan mereka, seperti ghost normal, sering tak ada memori yang proper setelah death. Vast majority ada grudge untuk suatu reason selama life, tapi forget reason itu dan hanya move dengan grudge yang tetap. Harm orang yang tak related dengan mereka tanpa reason. Mereka adalah yang paling dangerous fellow untuk orang normal. "Nama saya Skyler." Skyler make introduksi sendiri ordinary. Tak ada resentment atai lingering attach yang feel dalam voice itu. ......Jika oleh chance, ada ghost yang tetap bukan karena resentment, tapi karena 'conviction.' Jika conviction itu sebegitu strong yang keep soul itu persist bahkan setelah death, Jenis monster ini yang di depan mata ini born.
Chapter 266
Thompson remained silent for a while. A traitor within Indus. It was an issue he was aware of but didn't take seriously. Indus had accepted everyone who called themselves Indus until now. That made it difficult to measure the size of Indus, and even harder to know who was above him, who the leader was. It was fine if some dirty water seeped in at the bottom. They could just filter it out and refill it. But what if the dirty water had risen to the top? In other words, what if someone in the leadership of Indus was a traitor? "Well, then there's a chance you could be the traitor, right?" Cain said flatly. She didn't react much to the provocation. Tch, Thompson clicked his tongue as Cain continued speaking. [From now on, think with that possibility in mind. You don't know who committed the betrayal. If it's you, me, Kraken, or Skyler, we need to eliminate them immediately.] "Whoa, let's not be so hasty. We don't know who muddied the waters yet. It could be one of the lower-ranking guys." [...Yeah. If I’m going to assume the worst, then there needs to be someone who's optimistic.] "Are you being sarcastic?" Thompson suddenly stopped talking and frowned. He retracted the telescope and slipped it back into his prosthetic arm. Cain had continued talking all the while. [By the way, when is Kraken coming? Is he still thinking about what to do with that spare heart?] "I don't know. You should ask him." [What, how irresponsible. Kraken needs to finish his business soon so we can proceed here. You should know that,] Thompson turned his body and established his stance. He checked the functions of the prosthesis with each of his fingers. While he heard a mechanical whirring, he felt something approaching in the distance. [Sure, I'll check it out.] As he put his phone away, the identity of the presence Thompson was feeling was revealed. She was a woman with a stiff gait and a very stern impression. “……What do you want?” Thompson asked, feigning composure, and the woman responded in a similar manner. However, neither of them let their guard down. This is a rocky summit that overlooks the sky train. In other words, it is a rugged highland with a cliff right behind it. This is not a place where a woman would come without a reason. "I am Isamaya, Constel's teacher. I am here to detain you. Will you cooperate?" "Who are you detaining?" Thompson laughed. His prosthesis made a sound like an engine starting up. Thompson had activated the prosthesis by infusing it with mana. "If I run, you won't be able to detain me, will you?" Isamaya took out a pair of glasses from her bag. Putting them on, her already stern face became even sterner. "Indeed. I would have to be careful not to kill you by mistake." “……This crazy b*tch!" Thompson was the first to charge. Kora was hiding at the bottom of the cliff. After a while, someone approached her. "Did you wait long? Kora." It was Pascal, smiling gently. So far, everything was going according to plan. "Where did Frondier go?" “……He moved to carry out the operation." Pascal doesn't know the details of Frondier's operation, only that Osprey is involved. Everyone trusts Osprey's word. There are a few things he can predict, though. Osprey is floating in midair as bait to attract Indus members. In fact, a mysterious spider girl did appear. She was a fake, though. But Osprey's real goal is probably to find another Zodiac within Indus, 'Heldre.' If Indus really wants a 'revolution,' Osprey is their most bothersome enemy. If Indus really plans to do something on the aerial Railway, Osprey has personally entered the heart of enemy territory to welcome them. To lure Heldre out. 'Hmm, it's still too dangerous.' Pascal doesn't know how strong Osprey and Heldre are, but he reasons that between two Zodiacs, the one who attacks first has the advantage. 'Surely Frondier isn't planning to...' Is Frondier planning to do something to Heldre after luring him out? That would be the most dangerous, or rather, reckless operation any participant could take part in. Kora suddenly spoke in a tense voice. Pascal stopped thinking. It seemed like something else needed to be taken care of first. "Something's there. In front of us." Pascal and Kora stand at the bottom of a cliff. There is a vast, empty plain ahead. There's nothing blocking their view, and they can't see anyone. But, just like Kora said, something was definitely approaching them. As the invisible thing came closer, the cliff wall suddenly shattered. Huge pieces of rock flew as if they had a will of their own and gathered in front of Kora and Pascal. The rocks stuck to each other and assembled themselves into the shape of legs, arms, a helmet, and armor. The armor of rock thus completed, the inside of that helmet was filled with darkness, but of course, it was completely empty. Surprisingly, a voice flowed out. Kora, looking at that bastard, wrinkled her nose. “……That thing, doesn't smell at all." Pascal narrowed his eyes. Most ghosts remain in reality, their presence blurred because they've died once. Most have no memories and wander aimlessly. The forms of those kinds of ghosts are blurry even when sensing them with mana. They'll eventually disappear if left alone. However, those that remain with clear resentment, grudges, and killing intent, commonly called evil spirits, have clearer forms. However, even these, like normal ghosts, often don't have proper memories after death. The vast majority have a grudge for some reason during life, but forget the reason and just move with only the grudge remaining. Harming people unrelated to them for no reason. They are the most dangerous fellows to ordinary people. “I am called Skyler." Skyler makes an ordinary self-introduction. There was no resentment or lingering attachment felt in that voice. ……If by any chance, a ghost remains not out of resentment, but out of 'conviction.' If that conviction was so strong that it keeps that soul persisting even after death, This kind of monster before his eyes is born.
