Chapter 835: NO.204: Tell Xi, Aomo calls Gu Qiao Niang in the middle of the night

NO. 204: Tell Xi, Aomo calls Gu Qiao Niang in the middle of the night.

At 1:40 a. m., it was the time when all sounds were silent.

Even if someone was working overtime, the excellent building soundproofing would block it, giving the corridor an atmosphere suitable for haunting.

But there are things in this world far more frightening than ghosts, and when that thing is discovered by one's own hands, a chill inevitably rises in the heart.

This was like a threat; Aomo, who had brought Xiao Lu back to Sai Luo's side, thought.

Sai Luo.

What's wrong, Aomo?

If I remember correctly, the original statement was that Xiao Lu had found a clue about his father.

That's correct.

So what's the deal with the Ultimate Arbiter? he asked.

This question made him seem like an impetuous accuser, prompting the still-young Chao Cang Lu to hurriedly soothe: 'Aomo-san, please don't get angry……'

I'm not angry.

He lifted his head to look at the dim ceiling; Aomo's voice was calm, as calm as everyone earlier, not even triggering the voice‑controlled lights' feedback.

I've just become much clearer; I won't, as before, let seemingly unimportant information slip away just because I'm low‑spirited.

He had to admit that his initial attitude was improper.

Or rather, his personal emotions from being called up in the middle of the night to direct operations affected his judgment of the situation.

With the attitude of 'let those guys do whatever they want,' he didn't even bother to fully understand the operation's details, nor did he feel like asking Xiao Lu and the others what they had seen and felt during their nighttime actions.

This was not the proper attitude toward the incident—it was only this chill that made him realize it.

"Unimportant information……" Xiao Lu murmured, looking hurt.

If you're feeling unwell, I can apologize," the young Aomo, who hadn't fully regained his original height but was close, said softly, "but what matters more is the present.

He said, turning to look at the companion likewise pondering beside him: 'Sai Luo, do you have a feeling, a sense of being threatened?'

Ah, it's not just me who thinks this way, is it?" Sai Luo's gaze, as sharp as Aomo's, replied, "But I never expected you to have this feeling.

After saying that, he turned to Xiao Lu beside him: 'I thought Jie De would be the first to share this feeling with me.'

"Huh?" Xiao Lu blinked.

For a moment he was like a student who had just made a mistake and been called to the office, facing the joint stare of the homeroom teacher and discipline teacher, his mind going blank—unable to utter a question or a defense.

Fortunately, neither the homeroom teacher nor the discipline teacher intended to interrogate him.

To have this feeling, being the party involved isn't enough; one also needs an overly sensitive mindset," the homeroom teacher said, words that sounded like understanding toward a student, "After all, this isn't even expressed in words; such an abstract expression could rightly be called a 'riddle person.'

"Aomo‑san… Sai Luo? What are you two talking about?" the student thought they were both riddle people, "If it were Jierbalisi, this wouldn't be the time to say such things."

"Jie De, you need to calm down." Sai Luo walked past Aomo's side and placed both hands on Chao Cang Lu's shoulders.

Yes, regardless of whether that is the Ultimate Arbiter, we should take a brief rest," Aomo added, twisting the bridge of his nose while leaning against the wall.

But……

Chao Cang Lu, what does the appearance of the term 'Jierbalisi' mean to you?

Chao Cang Lu, who still wanted to say something, was cut off by the solemn Aomo.

He addressed him by his full name, and with the sharp icy glare of his crimson vertical pupils, Chao Cang Lu fell into a second bout of confusion—but at least this time he had a question he could answer.

"We must resolve this quickly!" the young man in human form said bluntly, but aside from that feeling, he needed to recall it, letting his eyes drift, "Jierbalisi is an extremely dangerous monster, especially on your highly data‑developed Earth!"

After hearing that answer, Aomo's gaze remained unchanged, and he simply asked again, 'Perhaps my question wasn't clear enough; I'll ask once more: when Jierbalisi appears, what is your first thought in your mind?'

"Don't tell me possibilities like 'How could it be it?' or 'How is it still alive?'; I just want to hear whether you have the feeling 'It's really a persistent ghost!'"

"... Yes." Xiao Lu nodded.

"That's enough," Aomo also nodded, then turned to Sai Luo beside Xiao Lu, "Coincidentally, Sai Luo will have this feeling too."

"Moreover, this feeling will be especially strong, because whether it's Dark Gona or Leibotes, both are enemies he has faced before."

"That said, strictly speaking, the one who truly retains a deep memory of Leibotes is Ou Bu," Sai Luo said with arms crossed, "I tried to contact him during the day, but that guy would need a whole week to come back."

"A week is too long……" the super agent who had not joined the conversation, who thought the three were all riddle people, finally found a chance to brush up his presence, "By then the match would already be over."

"He said he would hurry, using the star gate the Star Alliance had set up on nearby planets, which would probably be earlier than expected," Sai Luo added, "I had considered using the Paraji Shield to pick him up, but he refused."

The Paraji Shield, a divine artifact bestowed by Noah Ultraman.

It contains part of the power of Noah's Wings, enabling cross‑dimensional travel through space and time.

Although it can be used in battle, it is more often employed by Sai Luo as a means of transport.

Its positioning is equivalent to the talisman used by an inadequately trained Dong Yan ascendant performing the 'Shrink Land to an Inch' technique.

"After all, using the Paraji Shield consumes a lot of energy, and once you go over you can't come back immediately; if you run into any trouble then, it would be quite a hassle." Aomo affirmed Ou Bu's choice.

"Besides, looking at the situation now, the other side is clearly targeting you and Jie De."

"Targeting me and Sai Luo?" Xiao Lu expressed surprise at this conclusion, but also noticed the word 'now.'

"……Is the Jierbalisi signal fake?"

"It could be true," Aomo replied. "If it is, it proves two possibilities: first, they had planned it early, with you and Sai Luo as the initial targets; second, they react swiftly, and once you and Sai Luo appear in the public eye, they immediately scramble to obtain that black dragon."

"And if it is false, it likewise corresponds to the second possibility."

"My past enemies, Jie De's past enemies, and the news of Belial—it's practically like some kind of fate," Sai Luo said softly.

"But we all know this is man‑made; the behind‑the‑scenes party knows everything about you and will make you realize what they want to say," Aomo said, twisting the bridge of his nose again. He was becoming clearer, yet the situation felt ever more troublesome: "Intimidation doesn't need bloody threats; it can be the bloodstain itself, making you think of violence."

Upon hearing this, Jie Si Ti Si finally understood, somewhat nervously looking toward the equipment room: 'So taking action now would be like walking into a trap?'

"No, I think the behind‑the‑scenes person, while familiar with Jie De and Sai Luo, may not know us well," Aomo said, raising his hand and pointing into the air, "At least we can't say they know us down to the finest detail."

【Clara Thorn】, his finger lingered on that contact list, then he waved to summon the super agent.

Indicating that he should exert the slight enhancement possible for a super agent operating in the cyber world.

Once the other understood, he again gestured for everyone to follow his steps.

Office 427, belonging to Asia Wave Monster Limited Company, he led everyone forward toward there and also dialed the phone number of that monster girl Miss.

Waiting for the ring's response.
