"You still have three chances."
"Let me see. If you can't satisfy me..."
"I can only apologize to you two."
Hoshimi Aya looked at the Twin Etheralss not far away.
Suddenly, the Twin Etheralss not far in front of her stopped moving and faced Hoshimi Aya.
"Are they coming?"
Hoshimi Aya stared intently at the Twin Etheralss not far in front of her. This posture clearly indicated they were about to use a big move.
Suddenly, the Twin Etheralss vanished from their spot.
"Such speed!"
Hoshimi Aya was shocked. She couldn't even clearly see their movement trajectory.
Seeing this, Hoshimi Aya quickly observed her surroundings, not expecting these Twin Etheralss, Ming Ning Fu, to possess such speed.
She had been careless!
One minute, two minutes, three minutes passed, and Hoshimi Aya still hadn't seen the Twin Etheralss appear.
"No way... right?!"
Hoshimi Aya looked around, somewhat incredulous.
But she had to believe it; these Twin Etheralss, Ming Ning Fu, had run away right in front of her.
And it wasn't that they were too fast just now; they had directly flashed away!
"Tsk! I'm speechless."
"Next time, I can't be so playful."
Hoshimi Aya felt some regret. She hadn't killed them because she was interested in their mechanism: if one didn't die, the other wouldn't die either.
That's why she kept them around instead of rushing to kill them, intending to practice her skills a bit.
After all, training alone was far less effective than actual combat.
But she knew they possessed such a teleportation skill; if she had known, she would have finished them off immediately.
She wouldn't have let them escape.
"I wonder how things are going upstairs."
"Let's go take a look."
Saying that, Hoshimi Aya sheathed her blade and ran in the direction everyone else had left.
...
The rooftop of Balai Tower.
As soon as Hoshimi Aya reached the rooftop, she saw an airship approaching her direction not far away.
"Ling, how is the situation?"
Hoshimi Aya looked at the group of people not far away and asked about the situation.
"Aya, we were just about to stop the airship."
"But now we're a bit troubled about how to get aboard."
"The airship needs to be piloted manually,"
Ling seemed troubled.
Hoshimi Aya:...
Seriously? That shouldn't be the case.
She thought it had already been resolved.
She didn't expect it wasn't over yet.
"...Ling, I can jump up there."
"But I don't know how to operate that thing...""
Hoshimi Aya looked at the gradually approaching airship and fell silent.
"Does anyone here know how to pilot that thing?"
Hoshimi Aya asked. Although she couldn't fly it, she could throw someone up there.
"Miss Ya, I know how, but with my strength, it's not enough to leap such a long distance,"
Lykann pondered.
"Hoo~ I can throw you up there."
"But after being thrown, you'll have to handle the landing yourself."
Hoshimi Aya looked at the sloped rooftop beside them, which was perfect for gaining momentum.
"No problem, I can handle that small matter,"
Lykann nodded.
Then, the two ran towards the side of the rooftop. When they reached the top of the slope, Hoshimi Aya grabbed Lykann's hand and threw him out after spinning 360 degrees.
Like a cannonball being launched, Lykann flew towards the airship, kicking the railing next to Billy.
He directly punched a hole in the airship.
Simultaneously, the airship shook slightly due to the powerful impact.
"As expected of someone of Void Hunter Level. This strength is far beyond what we can match,"
Lykann adjusted his appearance.
"Big Brother, stop tidying your clothes for now."
"The airship only has about three minutes before it crashes into The Hollow,"
Billy said nervously.
"Sir, please rest assured."
"I will pilot it to land right here on the rooftop immediately."
Saying that, Lykann walked towards the cockpit.
...
A while later.
Lykann piloted the airship to land in an open area on the rooftop of Balai Tower.
Everyone began helping to bring all the personnel inside the airship down.
As Ling was Eous's body, she could only help carry things like blankets.
"Judge, I object!"
Hoshimi Aya, who had just covered Nicole with a blanket, looked at Nicole silently.
"Why is she talking in her sleep?"
Saying that, Hoshimi Aya took out her mobile phone.
She briefly recorded the segment of Nicole talking in her sleep and saved it.
After all, no matter the mood at such a moment, recording it would never hurt.
And this video could at least make Nicole quite embarrassed.
Next time Nicole teased her, she could show her this video.
Billy also received news from the Public Security Bureau: rescue teams and the Sky Police Force were already dispatched.
"Billy, Rain's hacker identity is special, and she even hacked into the airship under enemy threat."
"It will be very troublesome if she is caught by the Public Security Bureau. We will take her to evacuate through The Hollow first. When the Public Security Bureau arrives, you should know how to handle it, right?"
Ling looked at Billy.
"Because I didn't inhale the anesthetic, I realized the open area was in trouble and piloted it to make an emergency landing here,"
Saying that, Billy gave a thumbs up, then seemed to realize something.
"Speaking of which, with this happening, can the Far View case still be heard on time?"
Billy inquired.
"Most likely, the Public Security Bureau will take Perlman back and reschedule the hearing,"
Lykann said while placing Eous in his hand.
Then, the group prepared to enter The Hollow again to leave.
"..."
Hoshimi Aya looked silently at Perlman, who was covered with a blanket and sleeping soundly not far away, for a moment.
In this situation, he shouldn't be able to escape now, right?
Although that shorty was quite hard to kill in the game, this was reality; there shouldn't be any more accidents, right?
"Aya, let's go,"
Ling turned back and called to Hoshimi Aya, who hadn't followed the team.
Upon hearing this, Hoshimi Aya snapped back to attention and trotted to catch up with her teammates' pace.
However, just as the group left, Perlman opened his eyes, sneakily boarded the airship.
Then, he piloted the airship towards the direction of the Outer Ring and flew away.
Neither Victoria's group, who had entered The Hollow, nor Ling and Hoshimi Aya were aware of everything happening here.
...
Outside The Hollow, Rain had nowhere to live temporarily, and since Victoria Housekeeping had temporary lodging available, she went along with Victoria's people.
Hoshimi Aya, however, walked towards the direction of District 6 while holding Eous.
She was quite familiar with this area, having walked it several times already.
The storage unit equipment obtained from Bai Qi Heavy Industries was also handed over to Rain.
