Chapitre 115: Knives in the Dark, Part Four

{Neve}

Back at the safe zone, while Ahlakan investigated the two Wolves' Tongues that Neve had brought back for her, the healer paced around the strange laboratory, pondering what the next move was. 

[... I haven't heard back from Charlotte in a while. They were pretty persistent this whole time, but now... Nothing. Did something happen?] 

Shaking her head, she pushed that matter aside for the time being and focused on the present situation. The 4th Floor, and how she planned to get through it. 

"Neve, you don't seriously believe she's going to wait for us to make it all the way to the center of this weird town before she attacks us again, right?" Erin asked, raising a brow. "I hope you're not expecting her, a murderer, to value her own word much." 

"I don't, but the System says that she won't fight us until we make it there," Neve replied. "The, ehm, rules say she won't fight us until then." 

For some reason, this seemed to annoy Erin.
