บท 72: Passage Branches

Feng Zhi approached Axel who was controlling the transportation board. She came to the side of the golden-haired girl who was standing while pressing a small board and controlling the steering wheel which was connected to the transportation board that they were riding on.

Axel already knew what Aizen wanted to convey and Ana who was on duty as her steering assistant so that everything was safe if suddenly the danger came just giggling softly.

Aizen did not want to share the knowledge that Axel had painstakingly learned a long time ago and asked Feng Zhi to ask permission to Axel directly whose answer was clear even before Feng Zhi had not asked Axel for it.

"Excuse me, Miss. I am Feng Zhi from the Heavenly Soul Sect. I..."

Before Feng Zhi could finish her greetings, Axel only interrupted her words as if she was disturbed.

"What do you want?" Axel's cold voice rang while putting a little pressure on this presumptuous girl.

Feng Zhi felt the energy pressure that Lin Yu had felt earlier that made her swallow her saliva while fighting the pressure. Whereas Lin Yu who was watching began to worry about her good sister, and the four junior sisters only watched attentively.

"Miss, can you..." She tried once more, but her words were interrupted once more by Axel.

"No." The cold voice from Axel rang once more.

Along with the pressure, she feels now and twice her greetings are cut in cold tones, Feng Zhi has never felt intimidated like this before. The plot that she has always run smoothly according to expectations and makes those who against her become miserable, but this time she who feels bullied and miserable.

Feng Zhi then looked at Aizen who was much kinder than this cold girl.

"Hehe... What's with that face? You tried it and you failed." Aizen was amused to see a girl dressed in white with a similar veil put a miserable face on him.

"Ah... Um... Okay." Feng Zhi returned to Lin Yu's side and their four junior sisters. "Boohoo... *hiks*"

Aizen returns to the front right next to Axel and Ana and ignores the poor sobs of the poor girl who is being persuaded and cheered up by five other girls.

'Hehe... So cruel, you didn't even give her a chance to finish her greeting.' Aizen joked lightly in his mind.

'Mou ~ Master Aizen, you better not involve me like that anymore.' Axel complained about that.

'Brother Aizen, bad.' Ana giggled a little.

'What? You two have agreed to leave miscellaneous work like this to me alone? You will see, you too Ana.' Aizen pretended to be surprised.

'No way...' Ana exclaimed as if she didn't believe it.

'Fufu... I'm just kidding, Master Aizen. You may make fun of other people by involving us, but we will not give a positive response to that other person.' Axel smiled while looking forward.

She and Ana did agree to give Aizen a decision in conversation with others like that. It's just that the two of them do not like people who have nothing to do with them being pretentious familiar with them, or maybe the two of them can be a little 'kind' to the people they can use.

'...' Aizen did not answer and the three of them increased the speed of the transportation board while checking the surroundings if danger suddenly came.

Shortly after, they entered the large hall area with many passage branches around them that went in various directions, and none of them knew the path they had to travel at this time.

'Master Aizen, I suggest using a suicide surveillance unit on each of these forked passages.'

Axel proposes her opinion based on her experience while exploring ancient ruins like this. She already has a lot of experience in exploring and treasure hunting.

'Hmm... That's good but also takes a long time. For now, we should use that unique girl's ability. I want to know how the details about her innate abilities in the form of a hunch.'

Aizen refutes sensibly because he wants to experiment with a living human. If they do the same thing that was proposed by Axel, it's the same if they explore all these passages, and it can be done later.

'That is fine for me.' Ana agreed with that.

'Is that so? If so, how about you give that comprehensive detector to Miss Lin Yu? We will scan her slowly and thoroughly without her knowing anything.'

'What? That can't be! It will be me who is seen trying to get along with her, and that is impossible for me!' Ana protested strongly in her stand.

Aizen just smiled wryly at that, even Axel seemed to support Ana's statement.

He realized that the two girls did not care about others and were very reclusive to others, miscellaneous work like this could only be his responsibility alone at this time.

They were both so obedient and affectionate to him when they were in the privacy zone of the three of them. Unfortunately, when they gather with other people they don't like, the two of them immediately become reclusive.

Ana and Axel seemed to have created their own comfort zone and didn't want to get out of there, and they would feel better by removing strangers about their comfort zone.

Aizen did not know what caused the two of them to agree on that. Now he longs for the auxiliary unit which always follows him, but the seven units that will be so obedient need about six more hours from now to be fully complete.

The conversation between the three of them in their minds lasted only briefly. Then, Aizen took out from nowhere a comprehensive detector device in the form of a bracelet which would later serve as a comprehensive detection and scanning tool for Lin Yu's body, spirit, and soul without endangering her.

The six girls who were hitching a ride with them seemed confused by the direction they were going to take, and they also thought that Aizen's group was also confused by the many passage branches that were heading in various directions.

Lin Yu tried to rely on his hunch to find out the path they were supposed to take at this time, but when she tried to focus, Aizen actually approached them and ruined Lin Yu's focus.

"Miss Lin Yu, seeing how many branching passages are there, I want to know about your innate abilities this time. I lent you this bracelet, maybe you will feel better after wearing it." Aizen captivates Lin Yu with an attractive bracelet that she doesn't even know about its function.

"Ah? Um, thank you." Lin Yu wore the bracelet that was given to her without hesitation because she believed in her hunch that no longer screamed with fear when she was with Aizen's group.

Feng Zhi who was already feeling better and the other four junior sisters only looked enviously at Lin Yu who was given a treasure in the form of a bracelet just like that from Aizen.

"Now try to feel and focus your hunch on each of these passages. After that, please tell us how you feel." Aizen seemed to tell Lin Yu to do what he wanted but in a friendly tone.

Lin Yu didn't mind that and closed his eyes to focus more on each passage they were going through. There are 28 passages that lead in various directions and go to places they don't know.

The other eight people just watched silently while waiting for Lin Yu to finish focusing on her innate abilities, while Aizen did not forget to activate the comprehensive detector device to start scanning her thoroughly and collecting her data.

A few moments passed in silence on the transportation board which remained floating and illuminated the middle of the large hall with many passage branches around it.

Until Lin Yu finally opened her eyes again, she was sure of her decision about the passage they would travel now. But before she could speak, she was overtaken by Aizen who suddenly asked.
