Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Help Me, Mr. Jiang Qiao!!
***
Raven picked up the small object that had been left forgotten in the corner and examined it carefully in her hand.
As a bustling metropolis, the presence of abandoned electronic components in Nagazora City wasn’t particularly strange, in fact, it was quite normal.
However, the professional Miss Dodo had her own methods for determining whether the object in her hand was related to her mission target.
“The time frame is… about 2 days or so?”
Feeling the fine frosted surface of the object and scanning the surrounding environment, Raven quickly made her judgment.
There had been no rain in Nagazora City for the past 2 days, and the temperature fluctuations hadn’t been significant either.
The timeline of this object perfectly matched the intelligence timeframe that Gray Serpent had provided her.
“Some kind of high-precision communication device…”
Raven could easily identify the true nature of the object in her hand, though she showed some regret: “Unfortunately, it’s already damaged.”
It seemed to have suffered a heavy impact, which caused the communicator to break, and judging by the extent of the damage, it was probably irreparable.
Even the production symbol on the side of the micro-communicator had suffered various degrees of wear, with only a vague outline of what appeared to be some kind of moth visible.
“An unfamiliar brand.”
As a mercenary and also a World Serpent executive who had received specialized training, Raven could easily recognize most portable communicator brands, since she frequently dealt with such equipment.
Directly disassembling the damaged communicator’s interior didn’t yield much useful information, but she could at least determine that this thing was a military-grade product.
“A moth.”
By all rights, as a World Serpent executive, Raven shouldn’t have been able to recognize this marking.
But looking at this pattern, for some reason, she suddenly thought of that place she often visited.
Covering her forehead lightly, she frowned as she stared at the blurred moth pattern in her hand. Gradually, this vague pattern overlapped with a certain pattern she had glimpsed carelessly in her mind.
“Clatter—”
The stunned Raven dropped the component from her hand without realizing it, her pupils contracting as if she had seen a ghost.
Had she… encountered something supernatural?
…
If they hadn’t suddenly shown up, Elysia and the others might have completely forgotten about this little one they had defeated and locked up in the Raiden Residence.
“Shorty, how did you escape!”
Because of Cocolia, Kiana had absolutely no goodwill toward Bronya standing before her. She was both furious and somewhat puzzled.
Of course, this question was also what Elysia and Mei, who had arrived, wanted to ask.
How had the duck, whom they had tied up thoroughly and even clubbed, managed to escape?
“…”
Actually, Bronya wasn’t very clear about this question either.
Perhaps because it was Elysia who had struck her, her injuries weren’t serious.
The expected unconsciousness of 3 to 5 days didn’t even last a full day before she woke up.
And when she did wake up, Bronya found that the ropes on her body were already gone.
She wasn’t even at the Raiden Residence anymore, but in a relatively safe location somewhere in Nagazora City.
She had originally thought it was something Elysia and the others had done, but now it was clear that wasn’t the case.
Of course, none of these things were important.
Just as Kiana was angrily about to fight Ducky two-on-one, the other party silently looked toward Elysia and spoke with somewhat urgent tone:
“How do you know about Seele?”
Whether it was being beaten or anything else, although she might have been angry at first, what Bronya cared about most at this moment wasn’t any of those things, but Elysia.
— More precisely, it was the Seele that she had mentioned.
Just as Sin had said, apart from Mama Cocolia, Sin, and Bronya herself, no third person knew about Seele’s matter.
Yet this name had been spoken by this man called Jiang Qiao standing before her.
This was clearly an anomaly.
From the way he appeared hostile toward Mama Cocolia, he definitely couldn’t have learned about this from Mama Cocolia. Sin wouldn’t have revealed it either. So as long as the problem wasn’t that Bronya herself had disclosed it, there was only one remaining answer!
Jiang Qiao had been in contact with Seele herself!
“Bronya has already returned to ME Corp’s underground base. You were the ones who stopped Mama Cocolia’s plan, right?”
When Bronya said this with her expressionless face, she looked quite intimidating, making Kiana think she was here to settle scores, gnashing her teeth in annoyance as she shouted:
“So what if we did? Are you here to cause trouble for that bastard mother of yours? Watch me knock your teeth out!”
“No, Bronya is not here to cause trouble.”
Although she was extremely annoyed by the white-haired fluffball barking beside her, and under normal circumstances would have beaten her up to settle their previous grudge, Ducky had come here with a more important purpose, so she could only suppress this annoying feeling and lower her stance.
Under the shocked gazes of the three, this expressionless girl slowly bent her knees and heavily knocked her head against the ground. Though her words lacked much emotion, they seemed to contain an incredibly sincere plea:
“Bronya wants to ask you, please tell Bronya about Seele!”
Although regions outside of Shenzhou didn’t have the saying about gold being under one’s knees, and the Far East region had even turned kowtowing and bowing into a habit, Bronya’s sudden action still shocked the three.
Even the previously aggressive Kiana stood there with her baseball bat, not knowing what to say.
As for Elysia, who was the focus of Bronya’s attention, her mind was completely blank at this moment, clearly experiencing some CPU overload!
Aba aba aba—
Although Pink Elf had traveled the world, when had she ever encountered such a situation? Especially when she was the target.
Bronya: As long as I kneel fast enough, you’ll be the one at a loss!
Undoubtedly, this move was extremely effective against Pink Elf!
If it were Jiang Qiao himself, he might have smiled and accepted her as a subordinate.
But as for Elysia, she could only—
Help me, Mr. Jiang Qiao!
Chat group, activate!
Elysia: “SOS! The girl I fought earlier suddenly came to find me and even knelt down and kowtowed! Quick, give me some countermeasures, Mr. Jiang Qiao! Attached image.jpg (Ducky kowtowing image) @Jiang Qiao@Jiang Qiao@Jiang Qiao”
Hu Tao: “An apology should involve showing…”
Hu Tao: “Ah no, would the customer like to try Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s new cross-dimensional combo meal? Maybe having one will give you some ideas!”
Yunyun: “emmmm…”
Yunyun: “Greatly shocked (emoji pack).JPG”
— At this moment, Mr. Jiang Qiao/【Elysia】 was feeding dear Dr. Mobius some cookies.
The atmosphere was very harmonious?
