Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 304 Chapter 304: Miyuki And Lena's Secret

2/5

The succubus, not too pleased to be guessed so accurately, pouted but soon put on a proud expression and quickly said, "That guy finally agreed to use my abilities once!"

"Although it was in Zero's dream," Lena added with a pout towards the end.

The person in the gray robe nodded after listening, seeming to have to sit cross-legged here, with her body unable to move much, only able to make simple gestures like nodding or shaking her head.

"Your abilities are too destructive to be released at will in reality, unlike ours," the person in the gray robe gently consoled, as if to comfort the somewhat disgruntled succubus.

"Hmph, I know that."

Seeing that Lena didn't mind, the person in the gray robe was relieved and quickly speculated, "So, it looks like Lord Ashen is currently in Zero's dream, corresponding to Nova's memory area, right? If I remember correctly, the other four memory areas shouldn't need such powerful destructive capabilities."

"Considering that, after Nova, it should be your turn in the next dream, hmm. No wonder you came here."

Once again, the person in the gray robe guessed Lena's thoughts, and she muttered softly, "I wasn't looking forward to him reclaiming our past."

"Reclaiming... the past?"

Hearing the person in the gray robe repeat her words, Lena didn't correct herself but affirmed, "Isn't it?"

"After all we've been through together, and he knows nothing, remembers nothing, it's so unfair, I can't accept it! Do you really accept it so willingly, Miyuki? If you were truly willing, you wouldn't have chosen to become like this."

After speaking, the succubus stubbornly looked at the person in the gray robe seated at the center of the World Tree's roots.

The underground space fell silent for a while before Lena's persistence eventually made the person in the gray robe sigh helplessly.

"Indeed, Lena, you have always been the one to cause Lord Ashen and us the most headaches."

"But."

"Thank you, Lena."

From the shadows beneath the cloak, a sincere thank you from the elf was voiced, making the pink-haired succubus a bit uncomfortable and awkwardly turn her face to the side.

The elf, seeming accustomed to Lena's behavior, continued in a big sisterly gentle voice from the shadows of the cloak.

"Once Lord Ashen gets through Zero's dream and awakens Zero, 'our secrets' will likely be uncovered."

"If Lord Ashen really decides to punish us then, I will take all the responsibility."

However, what she received was the succubus's scornful laughter.

"Come on Miyuki, can you stop speaking with that tone as if you're the legitimate wife? Given the current situation, let alone a certain nun, you're probably not even as high in Lord Ashen's heart as Nova is now!"

After her analysis, Lena hoped to provoke the elf, seeking to see some urgency and unease in her, but to no avail. The voice under the cloak remained as gentle and calm as ever.

"Is that so? Well, then I'll have to work hard and strive to surpass~"

"Ahhhh, You are so boring"

After a brief conversation, Lena knew she couldn't stay any longer, as her conversation with the elf was consuming 'their' soul power.

Before leaving, Lena couldn't help but ask, "Miyuki, if you can't hold on any longer, tell me."

The person in the gray robe chuckled and shook 'their' head, as if lost in some memory:

"It's been 500 years; a little longer won't make a difference."

"…"

"Okay."

….

After the evil dragon's dream ends, Dream Zero will still have two major Miasma Masters left, the fairy and the second witch. After conquering them, they could reach the deepest part of the dream and meet Zero in the "base."

When Renji was gearing up to clear the game in one go, he encountered a new problem.

To put it simply, Control Unit One malfunctioned.

The malfunction wasn't on a physical level but on a consciousness level, starting to become uncommunicable, as if it had crashed.

Renji quickly had 86 check it, and the conclusion was that Control Unit One's core chip was damaged.

"Core chip?"

[*Worrying*. Yes master, the initial speculation is that the chip's storage in reality was affected by some external factor, which then impacted Control Unit One in the dream]

Without Control Unit One, Renji couldn't obtain the coordinates for the remaining two BOSS areas, and even if he could, he wouldn't just leave Control Unit One behind.

Renji quickly decided to have 86 assist him in exiting the dream to return to reality.

Returning to Dream City from Zero's dream, it has been a little over a day since the attack on the Kel Technology press conference, with the mysterious rig and gangsters still being the hottest topic.

After briefly going online, Renji, as expected, found that he, the "Sin City Scholar," had also become a celebrity.

Although no one could see who the mecha driver was, the fact that he was the only Sin City Scholar missing from the scene led many to speculate, with rumors flying all over the internet.

As his assistant, Eileen naturally became a focal point as well. Renji deliberately didn't bring Eileen along, wanting the young girl to be in the spotlight while he remained in the shadows for easier maneuvering, and indeed, Eileen didn't disappoint him.

Not only did Eileen not disappoint, but after quickly browsing through the news, Renji found that Keyji had given him an unexpected surprise.

Keyji was obviously bamboozled by Eileen, truly believing that he was fighting the thugs to save them, and ended up being kidnapped by the thugs, now his fate unknown.

Therefore, Keyji no longer concealed his identity and immediately utilized his connections. Following that, the chairwoman of Quis Group, Keyji's sister, flew directly to the Dream City on the same day. She took a strong stance, allowing the Quis Group to directly intervene in the subsequent investigation of Kel Technology.

Eileen, already protected by her identity as a Sin City Scholar, and now covered by the Quis Group, began to freely appear in front of various media cameras, turning into a drama queen.

Renji browsed through numerous reports. In most of them, Eileen was seen sobbing and narrating to the public the heroic deeds of how her "doctor" fought against the thugs, screaming slogans like "Please help me, save the doctor!" and "I can't live without doctor!" to garner sympathy.

It's not hard to see that Eileen would have a great future as an internet celebrity.

With Eileen's portrayal, Renji's image was significantly elevated, making it difficult for Kel Technology to say much else, let alone mention the theft of any special imprint. They could only follow the mainstream public opinion, not attributing any blame to themselves, at least nominally coming to "rescue" him, not to "capture" him.

This also served as a cover for Renji, slightly easing the pressure.

"Well, she did a good job… I guess…"

After roughly understanding the situation in reality during his time in Dream Zero, Renji didn't plan to contact Eileen but decided to disguise himself and head to the Fantasy Supervision, where, in theory, the core chips of the servant machines were stored.

Renji had just left the safe house and was passing through an abandoned, dark alley when suddenly, noises came from a nearby trash can, followed by the sight of a man resembling a homeless person, desolately curled up in a corner.

Renji initially didn't plan to pay attention, as such sights are quite common in the Dream City. Despite its outward prosperity, there are still many homeless beggars beneath its glossy surface.

But Renji soon stopped in his tracks.

Because, after a scan from 86, it was discovered that this homeless person was actually a current employee of Kel Technology.
