บท 3: Four Mysterious Senior Sisters
บรรณาธิการ: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Senior Sister, something big is about to happen! Help!"
Hearing Robert suddenly shouting for help for no reason, the beautiful blonde woman on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned.
Audrey was on speakerphone, so the other three girls in the room had also heard what he said.
The huge room they were in looked glorious. Even the candlesticks were shining with a luxurious golden light. There were a few oil paintings that looked very strange on the walls. Only these girls knew the truth about them. These oil paintings were actually the gateway to another world. Their mission now was to prevent the things inside the painting from coming out.
In the room, a woman with twintails and a black Lolita dress with white lace was sitting on an expensive leather sofa. She was holding a game controller in her hand as she focused on playing computer games. At this moment, she suddenly stopped what she was doing and said with interest, "Something big? Did something interesting happen?"
By the wall, a girl with short silver hair was wearing the latest model headset. A pair of agile hands were rapidly tapping on the keyboard. She was moving so fast that her hands were barely even visible. On the computer screen in front of her, lines of code were quickly moving past the screen.
She took off her headset and looked over in Audrey's direction. Her tone was terrifyingly calm. "Audrey, that little fellow's tone was filled with urgency. He was clearly very nervous. He's not lying."
On the other side of the room, a mature and beautiful woman with long black hair and an oriental face was sitting in front of the window, seemingly engrossed in her book. At this moment, her slender, willow-like eyebrows suddenly raised, as murderous intent lit up on her face, sending chills down everyone's spines.
"Who dares bully my dear Robert?"
Audrey covered the phone, not allowing Robert to feel anything strange.
She immediately shushed the three sisters in the room. When the room quieted down, the three sisters had already surrounded her.
Audrey let go of her hand. As one of the strongest people in the supernatural world, she could obviously tell that Robert was not lying. However, that only made this call even more important.
Robert was not just their junior. He was once their best friend and the only bloodline they had left in the world.
However, in their eyes, Robert had been a complete loser for the past 17 years. Usually, Robert would take the initiative to contact them and ask them about awakener. Naturally, they would tell them everything they knew. Of course, they would also tease Robert about it.
Audrey looked at the three sisters speechlessly.
"Robert, tell us. Let's see if we can help you."
"If you even dare to lie to us, you're dead," the black-haired woman suddenly threatened.
Robert felt a chill down his spine. When he heard Fubuki's voice, he could not help but think that this lady talking to him right now was much more terrifying than whatever crisis he was facing.
Robert actually did not know the true identities of the four senior sisters. He only knew that they were the real deal. When he had nothing to do, he would often ask them about various matters in the supernatural world.
However, he knew about these four ladies' tempers very well.
Just as he was about to explain, another voice chimed in from the other end of the phone.
"Robert, do you want senior sisters to help you?"
Before Robert could even reply, another voice rang out too.
"Is there a fight? Robert, where are you now?"
Following that, a frustrated Audrey could be heard.
"Kael, Mulan, Fubuki, stop messing around. Robert is in danger!"
Audrey was the most authoritative out of the four sisters. Her words carried a lot of weight.
"I got it, Audrey."
"I got it."
"Sister Audrey, you're right. What we should be concerned about now is Robert's safety."
Audrey continued.
"Robert, you can speak now."
Robert felt a very warm and intimate feeling towards Audrey. It was not only due to Audrey's intellect, but she was really like an older sister to him. Most of all, Audrey was usually the one who cared about him the most.
"I've discovered that over ten thousand cultists have infiltrated the holy city! Senior sisters, please help me find a way out. How can I leave the holy city quickly?"
The holy city?
Kael chuckled. "It's been a long time since I've guided the Pope of this generation."
The three sisters looked unamused as they thought to themselves.
"You call that 'guidance'?"
Every time, she would beat the Pope until his face was black and blue. It was all thanks to the Pope's protection from the holy light that he was able to take such a beating.
Fubuki was seemingly confused. "Robert, are you in Rome now?"
Kael immediately said, "Of course. I invited him there."
Mulan suddenly understood. "I remember that today the day of the annual celebration in the holy city of Rome."
She turned to Kael and said, "Kael, aren't you very familiar with the church? Did you receive any news?"
Carl shook his head. "That old fart — the Pope — didn't send me any news."
Mulan chuckled.
"Robert, aren't you looking down on the church a bit too much? You haven't even awakened your bloodline, and your realm is only bronze-level 9-star. How could you discover the cultists before the church?
"Even if what you said is true, how did they manage to escape the church's detection array? Can't the powerful people of the church see through it?"
After listening to Muran's analysis, Robert took in a deep breath of cold air.
As expected of a professional.
She immediately saw through the crux of the problem.
However, he could not just tell these girls that he had a system, right?
The system was the foundation for his safety, he would not reveal it to anyone.
At this time, Mulan calmly continued.
"Robert, why aren't you talking?"
At this moment, Robert could also see that these professionals did not believe his words at all. However, exposing his secret of having a system was not a valid option either.
Robert immediately thought of an excuse.
"Senior Mulan, even if I'm a good-for-nothing, can't good-for-nothings have their own secrets? You guys are on top of the supernatural world, so you definitely won't understand the difficulties of a piece of trash like me. Forget it, it's a waste of time arguing with you guys."
After a pause, he raised his voice.
"If it's evidence you want then listen well!
"These cultists are believers of the Pitch Black Abyss. That's all I have to say, use that information however you like."
After saying this, Robert hung up the phone.
"Haha.
"You guys always love to tease me.
"Now it's my turn to show off! Whew!"
No matter how many times Audrey called him back, he would not pick up.
"Oh well, I've decided not to rely on Audrey and the others.
"I'll think of a way to escape myself."
However, Robert completely ignored the fact that when he mentioned the words 'Pitch Black Abyss', it would bring about strange and terrible consequences.
What he failed to realize was that the names of the gods in the supernatural world contained a mysterious power. It was extremely unusual for him to be able to say it normally.
At this moment, the paintings in the room had already started to change, immediately signifying to Audrey and the others that something was wrong.
