Chapter 102: Song of the Betrayer

Under the guidance of the man in black, the three gradually disappeared in the streets and alleys of the relatively uncomplicated New Moth City.

For the whole night, all they did was to avoid the search. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to want to make a big fuss, and only used a small number of ordinary soldiers. The poisonous pupa, the rapid response team, the mecha, and the helicopter did not appear.

Even so, they spent the whole night until the sunrise in the early morning, and then they returned to the vicinity of the base on time.

Sakuramoto wanted to sneak back through the hidden vent when he came out, but was stopped by the man in black.

"Believe it or not, there are a lot of secret guards there, waiting for you to fall into the trap."

"So, our actions have been targeted from the beginning?"

Sakura felt a little incredible. This was a hidden passage she discovered a long time ago, and she left a "mark" there to make sure that no one had discovered it before.

The previous battle at the headquarters caused huge damage and also caused changes in the outer covering layer, making this vent look more hidden.

As for stealth techniques, let alone that, you know, the most common training items for the poison pupa are stealth + assassination, how could it be exposed so easily?

The man in black was silent for a moment, and said in a rather old-fashioned manner: "There is no perfect disguise in this world. Under deliberate observation, everything will be exposed."

Obviously, this sentence has a double meaning, and whether it is Ai Li, Ying or Himiko, they all accurately captured the subtext of this sentence and were speechless for a while.

"Don't worry, I helped you to complete the leave procedures last night, we can just walk in from the main gate."

"Imer..."

Himiko sighed softly.

The man in black took off all the disguises, who else could it be but Imer?

"Let's go first, if you have any questions, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Imer has changed his funny aura in the past, and now he looks like Mikael's brother.

Although he should be laughing freely at this age, he frowned and lowered his head, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was full of worries.

Because they had a record of asking for leave, they were not suspected or questioned, and they returned to Himiko's dormitory very smoothly.

When they stepped into the dormitory door, the three women breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back in unison, looking at Imer, who looked determined, as if he was stepping into the execution ground.

The door was closed.

Himiko waved her hand to stop Ying who wanted to make trouble. She lay on the sofa casually, looking lazy and tired, and seemed to say indifferently:

"Okay, don't put too much pressure on him, let him speak for himself."

But this frivolous attitude stimulated Imer, who was shaking violently with excitement. He lowered his head, and two tears instantly appeared on the round toe of his boots.

"You...one or two of you are so indifferent!"

He punched the wall of the dormitory fiercely, making a dull vibration and echo.

But he was undoubtedly just an ordinary person. The piercing pain from his fingers made him forget those meaningless resentments. He quickly hugged his hands and stamped his feet in pain.

"Puff!" Ai Li was the first to break the spell, followed by Himiko, and even Ying turned her face away quietly, her shoulders shrugged.

"Okay, come and sit down."

How could Himiko really be angry with Yimer? No matter what, no matter what he did, at least he saved them last night, which was enough to explain everything.

Ai Li took out iodine and gauze from under the coffee table. Himiko grabbed Yimer's scraped hand, disinfected and bandaged it. All her movements were extremely gentle, completely different from her usual impetuous appearance.

So Yimer fell into a deeper silence.

In the end, Ying spoke first: "You should not be from the Poison Pupa, right? Although that place... In short, the feeling you give me, from temperament to ability, should not be from the Poison Pupa."

Yimer did not respond, nor did he deny it.

Himiko and Sakura looked at each other, knowing that this was actually a kind of acquiescence, but the boy was still somewhat stubborn and gritted his teeth and was unwilling to do something like "betraying the organization".

Although, after denying the poison pupa, the person behind him was already obvious.

Sakura shook her head. Although Vashak never said it, she now understood that she joined the fifth team as a spy to cover up the real spy Imer, nothing more.

But she really thought that the other party spared her life at first...

"Has he been planning the Fire Moth so early?"

Himiko sighed.

"Not really, first... Vashak has had unclear connections with the outside world for a long time, otherwise where would the Poison Pupa have so much money? Now it seems that there is a rift between the two sides, but in fact, it is probably because the power distribution cannot satisfy both sides, right?"

Himiko thought about it, and Sakura's words really made sense. Although Vashak and Lezren quarreled fiercely that time, both sides maintained tacit restraint, so that the quarrel was always limited to verbal.

Thinking about it carefully, it is really a wonderful combination. Vashak has the Poison Pupa, an armed force that is not inferior to any quick reaction team, but lacks political influence and capital, while Lezren's side is exactly the opposite...

It is really a match made in heaven...

But it seems that there are still big differences in the concepts of the two sides. I just don't know when the conflict broke out.

"So... why did you help us last night? Could it be..."

Alicea hesitated to say the name, but everyone present knew who it was.

"The captain... he told me when we were in Canghai City... he said that if he had any accident in the subsequent battles... he hoped that I could help you out for the sake of our friendship for half a year..."

Silence, still silence...

Imer was not used to such an atmosphere, so he had to continue talking to himself:

"Yesterday, Captain Ai Li heard that the core was going to be jointly researched and was very anxious. I didn't think much about it and just reported it truthfully. I didn't expect to be notified early the next morning that there would be a special operation in the evening - in fact, I didn't need to participate. My task was just to report everything I saw, but the person in charge seemed to have sent the wrong message. Although it was withdrawn immediately, I still saw it."

"..."

"However, in fact, I should have found you earlier... but I was stopped by... that little girl... on the way."

"The little girl you know?"

Aili raised her eyebrows and found that things were not simple.

"Oh! Her name... Eh, I still can't remember... Anyway, it's the one that Captain Mikael brought back when we were in Dusk Street!"

"Phyllis?"

"Oh, yes, yes! Her name is Paddo!"

"..."

"What did she want to do with you? No, how did she find you?" Ellie shook Imer's shoulders vigorously until Himiko shouted "Lychee" and pulled her away.

"How did she find me... I don't know... But she gave me a letter, and I haven't had time to read it yet."

"Then what are you waiting for?" ×3

"Uh... You didn't give me time to read it either..." Imer scratched his head slightly.

He took out the wrinkled envelope from his pocket. There were two pieces of letter paper in it. There were two sentences on the first one. As expected, Mikael was still so frugal with words:

"Don't worry Ellie, I can show off!" This was the first sentence, which was obviously said to Ellie.

"If you have any difficulties, go to the poison pupa." This is the second sentence. Although the subject is not stated, the answer is clear when you think of who the recipient is.

Yimer's expression was a little unnatural. He stood up "swoosh" and did not look at the second letter. Instead, he put it on the coffee table and walked away.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

But before he took two steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Ying unconsciously.

There was a hint of confusion and some disbelief in her eyes:

"Are there any other spies in our team?"

Ying was stunned, then shook her head, "If you are talking about the Poison Pupa, I can say responsibly that there are no other spies. The people of the Poison Pupa are not suitable to be spies because our temperament is too obvious."

This is exactly what Imer was puzzled about, "But it should still exist. Someone wrote a letter of complaint to... mentioned the ability of Captain Ai Li to control the crystal... I always thought it was you who did it. After all, there should have been only the four of you in the decisive battle with Yaksha. But since the captain was able to find me... he should not be completely unguarded against you... So I suspect that there should be other... betrayers in the fifth team."

"Ahem!"

Aili cleared her throat at the right time, with a look of relief and even a hint of pride.

"Clang clang! Why must there be a betrayer?"

"Hmm? Alicia, you wouldn't..."

Himiko had already guessed that possibility and looked at Alicia in disbelief.

"Hehe... In the final battle with Yasha, among the people present, Mikael, Captain Himiko, and Sakura could not have written that letter... Since all the wrong answers have been eliminated, the correct answer is out!"

"Why did you do that!"

As soon as Sakura asked this question, she immediately covered her mouth with her fingers. She also understood what Ellie meant.

Himiko's expression was very complicated. She could only reach out and rub Ellie's fluffy hair.

She just wanted to use her abnormality to give Mikael a trivial cover...

Although this action was so...useless...

She still did it.
