Early morning
Lorraine slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the empty drinking cup on the bed head.
Contacting Qian Xu in the middle of the night, she couldn't remember what was said later, but she remembered what was said before.
She even remembered being nervous and anxious when she started to invite Qian Xu to run away together, for fear that he would brush off lightly with a sentence like 'you are drunk' and hang up. Fortunately, Qian Xu seriously listened all along and didn't take it half-heartedly.
She turned on her personal terminal and sent a message to Qian Xu: "Last night I was drunk , but I did not babble nonsense. All I said was serious."
"I know."
Qian Xu's reply came in an instant, as if he was keeping an eye on his personal terminal, waiting to reply to her all along.
Lorraine lifted her spirit up, turned over and sat straight, nervously typed a few words and sent them over: "Will you?"
"I have to think about it. Six months later, I will give you the answer."
Lorraine was stunned. She rubbed and rubbed her eyes, and carefully looked at it again; not a rejection! It's actually not a rejection!
She shouted excitedly, one back flipped from the bed to the floor, then flipped over the whole way into the bathroom.
When Lorraine stood under the shower head and washed her hair, she felt that the entire gloomy mood had been washed away. Her whole body became full of vitality. Sure enough, it was hope that actually drove mankind forward.
Lorraine's life became extremely busy and substantial. Each day she had regular training with Su Er and Su Qi, and was beaten, uh, had special training with Chen Sha. Nearly six month later, Su Er and Su Qi planned for Lorraine's advancement mission. Many had survived the special training, but not much successfully leveled up to level A. The possibility was usually at 20 percent, and if you failed the first time, the possibility was less than 5 afterwards.
For the advancement mission, Lorraine also needed a mentor. Su Er and Su Qi was having headache for this candidate since Chen Sha had too high level with no mentoring experience, and Su Er and Su Qi mutation ability might not suit in her advancement mission.
Lorraine thought of Qian Xu and suggested him.
Su Qi used her privilege to view Qian Xu's files.
Su Er said in surprise: "He used to be a military instructor, trained special forces, and furthermore was a strength advancement's mentor."
Su Qi also completely changed her tune: "This person meets the requirements, but..."
"But what?"
"It is written in the file that he retired due to illness, but doesn't write what kind of illness after all, do you know about it?"
Lorraine said calmly: "If it is not written in the file, even if I know I still can't tell you about it."
Su Qi rolled her eyes and Su Er asked with concern: "Does it affect his strength?"
"Not affect."
Su Er and Su Qi carefully studied Qian Xu's file again. Su Er said carefully: "Princess, you should know that this is your best chance to level up. If you fail this time, later on it's not that there will be no chance to level up, but the probability will be very low. Are you sure you want choose this person?"
"I'm sure." Lorraine smiled bitterly, "But I have to ask him first, he may not want to."
Su Qi raised her eyebrows, but at the same time immediately made a decision: "Then it's him. You contact him right now. If he dares not to accept, I will go ask for him directly to his boss."
Su Qi unexpectedly was actually 'the less you were willing, the more I want' dominating character. Lorraine cursed in silence while opened the address book.
When things reached a turning point, she felt like a coward again.
Su Qi impatiently urged: "Contact him!"
Those who rode on a tiger back could not get off. Lorraine could only put a bold face on and sent a message: "Are you there? I had something to bother you a little."
"?"
"Would you like to be my mentor for my strength advancement mission?"
"What is the mission?"
"Catch the Rockwind Beast."
"Okay."
Qian Xu accepted only in one word. Lorraine watched at Qian Xu's reply stupidly, feeling like she was dreaming.
There were still more than ten days left until the day Qian Xu promised to give her the answer. At first, she planned that after she completed the advancement mission, no matter whether she succeeded or not, she would immediately rush back to Alicata. She did not expect Qian Xu to be willing to come to see her ahead of time. This should be something of a good sign, right?!
Meeting room
Chen Sha and Consul sat in the chairs. Zi Yan stood beside the screen. The intellectual brain was fully displaying screen after screen of the Butterfly Unit's information deciphered from the information memory.
Consul lowered his head and looked at his personal terminal, obviously did not pay attention to the densely packed information like a crowded school of tadpole on the screen.
Chen Sha frowned impatiently: "Can you get to the main point?"
"There're so many secrets, you guys really don't know how to enjoy." Zi Yan's face left regret and clicked on the screen.
The densely packed information disappeared, and two rows of numbers appeared.
"These were two operating payment account of the Butterfly unit. The very interesting things were the payment account for the second operation came from the star region ngc7293 where the Dragon Blood unit is located, but the payment account for the first operation came from Odin Federation."
"There's an insider traitor conspired with the Dragon Blood unit." Chen Sha was very quiet. Previously he had already presumed, but there was merely no evidence.
Zi Yan said with a smile, "The insider traitor that I can't find even a bit of clues must not be just an ordinary traitor. I'm sure that he is among the seven of us."
Consul finally raised his head showing interest and signaled Zi Yan to continue.
Zi Yan cleared his throat and said seriously, "I have a plan."
