Chapter 299: What are Recollections (2)

The sundown smeared throughout the mountain peak was ethereal. The sky was dyed in mystical hues.

Wrapped as if in an aurora, I gazed at soliette.

Her outward look remained the identical

No, even her exterior was completely different.

Her soul summoned forth easy habits, and these habits shaped expressions that had been each acquainted and unfamiliar, making her look like another person.

YOU.

I known as out to soliette. She nodded as she checked out me.

What’s it?

Her transient reply was perplexing. It was as if her mouth had frozen over.

May it actually be an oxygen challenge?

Was I handed out and dreaming?

lt’s not a dream.

Even the speak of goals was initiated by soliette. I pressed down on my throbbing temples.

I made a decision to calm down my physique to take care of consciousness.

I ended up slumping to the bottom.

Soliette seemed down at me and requested,

Does it nonetheless damage?

I let loose a hole snicker.

How may it not damage? Its psychological ache now.

lndeed. One thing appears fucked up.

HOW What occurred?

Soliette turned again to the horizon. Between the ridges, there have been bursts of sunshine spreading like fountains.

I dont know the main points. However at this altitude, the magical power itself turns into peculiar. Something may occur.

Simply peculiar is your clarification?

Soliette tilted her head.

Sure. It’s peculiar, isnt it? Each Shion and I.

I ran my fingers via my hair. Soliette continued softly,

I believed I used to be dreaming all this whereas.

A dream.

Sure. In that dream, there was one other me, not me, with the Shion I do know.

By now, it was clear.

She was soliette from earlier than her regression. Nonetheless, why she was right here, how she got here to be right here, I didnt know.

The almost certainly speculation was hallucinations as a consequence of oxygen deprivation.

A fantasy invoked by my unconscious longing.

Shion was experiencing issues with a model of me that wasnt me.

Actually?

Sure. Actually, it nonetheless looks like a dream. I really feel like Unwell return after I get up.

I obtained up.

If she was certainly the soliette from earlier than her regression, whatever the ideas or causes, if she was certainly the pre-regression soliette.

Then. Are you aware your future?

I felt like I couldnt let her die.

Spoilers kill.

Soliette narrowed her eyes sharply.

She was lethal critical. And it wasnt even a joke. This soliette by no means joked within the first place.

I stood beside her.

Then take a guess, rattling it. Why are you right here?

lt is likely to be due to the Severing Sword.

Severing Sword

Certainly, even the Severing Sword is suspicious.

May this severing sword have reduce via the ties of each earlier than and after her regression?

lm undecided of the main points, however one factor is definite.

Soliette gazed into the open surroundings. The paranormal colours had pale into mere afterimages, and a deep navy started to fill the void.

One thing is pulling me.

One thing? What’s that one thing?

lf I knew, Id be a god.

Proper now, you appear to be a god to me.

As a easy regressor, she was the primary to have overcome regression.

Dont fuck round.

Sure, in fact.

Soliette shrugged her shoulders.

Extra importantly, is Shion okay?

The identical. Simply repeating all the things from the start ning.

ls that so? Then, is your revenge going properly?

Soliette appeared interested in my sickness and my revenge.

lts going properly.

She nodded silently.

Now the world had fully darkened, and soliette quietly closed her eyes as if feeling that one thing.

We’d see one another typically.

What?

Swoosh

She quietly collapsed. I caught her.

She retains dangerously teetering in the direction of the sting of the cliff.

Uh.

Soliette opened her eyes once more. I scanned her face.

Soliette. Are you okay?

Um Sure.

This harmless, frog-like expression wasnt the soliette from simply earlier than.

It was the present soliette, not the one earlier than regression.

lt appears I fainted for a second

We suspect your subordinates, Director.

Gedley listened silently to my story.

They attacked us and tried to pin the blame on you, Director.

Hmph. Baseless nonsense with out proof.

I pulled out a transportable cassette participant from my coat and performed the tape.

No, its the other. Why would we assassinate Bell Moore within the first place? Theres no motive for that.

What?

Everybody is aware of but retains quiet. Lets be frank. Its clearly one thing Director Gedley would do. The Director has virtually misplaced his complete fortune.

Jensen. Thats too speculative-

But the Director is attempting to pin it on us. Hes declared it an inside investigation, claiming one of many group leaders is the wrongdoer. He even went via my subordinates and my financial institution accounts. Is that this speculative?

The recording of a extremely confidential assembly of the group leaders.

Gedleys expression modified second by second as he listened.

lt might be fabricated.

Gedley gritted his tooth and responded. I smiled barely.

You actually belief your subordinates. You’ll be able to die that manner too.

You bastard

I threw the tape onto the passenger seat.

lf you suppose its fabricated, take heed to the entire thing, not simply the context.

Hey. Is that this additionally Bell Moores doing?

As I used to be about to get out of the automotive, Gedley grabbed my arm. I turned to face him, contemplating my subsequent phrases fastidiously.

lt’s not a scheme, its a possibility that Workforce Chief Bell is providing you.

Ha

A hole snicker unfold throughout Gedleys face. Was it self-mockery in regards to the state of affairs he was in, or was it excessive anger?

Suppose it over and let me know your determination, Director Gedley.

I flashed a smile and left the car parking zone.

Hmm.

It was clear how Gedley would transfer ahead.

Having already misplaced Dereks belief and with the group leaders more likely to betray him, the opportunist Gedley would certainly cling to Bell Moore, or reasonably, to me, in an try and survive.

Then, Bell Moore would naturally grow to be the subsequent director, endorsed by the previous di recto r

Drrring

My smartphone rang simply as I used to be serious about it.

Converse of the satan.

It was a name from Bell Moore.

Good day?

Hey! Hey!

Bell Moore shouted as quickly as I answered.

Whats up?

Fuck, the place are you? Had been screwed.

He cursed instantly. Had this lunatic gotten into some hassle?

I sighed.

What occurred now?

Simply get to the group leaders workplace now! Weve been assigned some shitty mission.

A mission?

It appeared he hadnt induced any accidents, thankfully.

Yeah! Hurry up! Im ready!

Click on-

Bell Moore had hung up abruptly.

ls this actually a group chief, this brat

I muttered to myself as I hailed a close-by taxi.

Have a look. That is the setup mission weve been assign ed.

In Bell Moores workplace.

He was biting his nails as he handed me the paperwork. I rapidly scanned the contents.

Undoubtedly. It is a massive deal.

I instantly understood why Bell Moore was appearing like a canine determined to shit.

I lifted the picture of the [operation target] from the file.

Hair as darkish as obsidian. Pupils deep and unfathomable like darkness itself.

The lady with the bob reduce, Theia Esil, suited it fairly properly.

Yeah. The order got here immediately from above to focus on this lady. Immediately!

Immediately meant it was from Derek.

What ought to we do?

Whats the deadline for the mission?

I havent accepted it but.

I checked out Bell Moore.

Why havent you accepted it?

Hey. You suppose you may deal with Theia Esil? Shes an actual loopy bitch.

lf you do not settle for, Derek will probably be disap pointed.

This isnt the sort of operation you may simply settle for.

Rattling it

Then Bell Moore flung the file into the air, like a baby throwing a tantrum over meals.

He may as properly begin stomping his toes subsequent.

So what would you like me to do? Combat her? How? Even when we deliver 100 Chasers, they’d all be butchered. You’ve got by no means seen Theia Esil battle, have you ever?

We dont should battle.

I set the report down.

Not battle?

Sure. Depart it to me.

I am conscious of the scandals surrounding Theia Esil. Actually, theres not a lot to them, however they are often spun.

As they had been earlier than my regression.

lt may take a while, however I can undoubtedly get her imprisoned.

Imprisonment would certainly be a greater finish than demise.
