Chapter 176 Ch 174: The Depths Of Mind [Pt2]



"Mfffff-"

"Now, be a quiet child. I think I have tolerated enough of your nonsense. It\'s time to start the next phase of our experiment."

Shizue watched as the Diantha look-alike was knocked out by the strong drug that was given to her. The white liquid in the syringe did not spell anything good for anyone, much less the fragile-looking female.

And honestly, Shizue did want to help Diantha out but she did not know how to help her. This lab was foreign to her and she was afraid to touch anything there. What if she ended up breaking something?

But in her hurry to get away, Shizue ended up breaking a small flash, successfully creating a distracting noise.

"Ah, is someone in here? There is no need to be shy. You can come out and talk to me."

The doctor looked surprised and excited to have another person in there. Shizue had a feeling that she would be made to take Diantha\'s place if she was caught so she tried to be as quiet as possible.

Now that things had come down to this, there was no other way for her to survive but to let Diantha out. Two-vs-one was their only option at this point.

So when the doctor moved toward Shizue, she moved in the opposite direction until she was in front of Diantha\'s table. The girl looked conscious but in pain from the medicine she had taken.

"Shhhh, don\'t make any noise. I am going to free you now."

Shizue broke her silence as soon as it looked like Diantha would shout. Thankfully, Diantha had enough commonsense not to shout once she was warned. She sat back and quietly let Shizue do her work.

And Shizue easily managed to pick the lock on the cuffs that were holding Diantha down. Once free, Diantha looked a little confused but a lot more coherent than Shizue would have believed at first.

"Hey, why did you-"

"Look, we can chat about that later. For now, we should get out of here. Our conductors are not working so using magi craft is out of option for us."

Maybe it was because of the atmosphere, or maybe it was a limitation of the space they were in, but no amount of magic could be used in this confined space. It was a hassle but there was nothing that could be done.

"I see. So we are stuck here for now? Then, I think I might know what is going on here. We are in the defense mechanism of the central cord system. We are likely near our objective."

Diantha sounded certain which made Shizue relax. That theory did make sense and it was good news for them. Now she only needed to find the central cord before anyone else and she would be able to save Bernetta.

\'Wait for me, Bernetta. I am going to free you from the burden of seeking the central cord soon.\'

And then Shizue would have her revenge on the government which caused her so much suffering. She would never forgive these heartless people for as long as she lived.

"Hurry up and run for your lives. We have no way of going against these people right now."

It burned Shizue to say this. All she wanted to do was to live a peaceful life and be with her loved ones. But her one decision changed her life.

Diantha looked ready to accept her suggestion for one second before her eyes became harsher and her mood changed.

"Yeah, I don\'t think I will run away. I will burn this palace down to the ground, even if it is the last thing I manage to do."

\'Ugh, my head. It\'s such a headache to take care of.\'

Bernetta rubbed her head as she tried to stand up. She remembered being knocked out by Shizue but nothing after that. What had happened when she had gone unconscious? And where was she now?

"Anyone, can you tell me where I am?"

Bernetta asked the guard if she could see. The man looked a little startled to see her up and about which told Bernetta that she was not supposed to be awake right now. But the medicine she had been given also did not seem to be lethal.

It almost seemed like it was given to her to keep her unconscious for the time being.

\'Shizue, you can be such a bitch at times. I need to hurry up and get back on the mission.\'

Bernetta was not surprised that Shizue was trying to sabotage this mission to get to the central cord. Her hatred of that cord was known to Bernetta quite well.

But what was interesting was that Shizue had even targeted Bernetta to get her objective. That was certainly a first and that irked Bernetta. Shizue could have just talked things out with Bernetta first.

"M-Mam Bernetta, you are awake. Do you need anything?"

Bernetta was sure that the kid in front of her was a newly joined police recruit she had sent flying on his first day. His nervousness also seemed to be stamped from personal experience.

"Let me out of here and tell me what is going on here. Did Shizue ask you to keep an eye on me?"

That was the only thing that made sense for Bernetta. If there was someone with authority near her and a motive to stop Bernetta, it would be Shizue.

And even if Berentta had not been sure that the one behind everything was Shizue, the flinch she saw the child give would have proven her point.

\'Ah, I see. So Shizue finally decided to play her cards and keep me out. I guess I underestimated her a lot.\'

Still, that did not mean Bernetta was just going to sit back and let things happen. She needed to experience this raid at all costs since this was her one chance.

"Let me out of here right now."

Bernetta\'s eyes were lit ablaze which caused the child to flinch. He seemed to be considering her words before he shook his head.

"I c-cannot do that. My orders are to make sure you remain right there and to knock you out again if you are awake. I-I am sorry."

The nervous guard seemed to not know where he should look right now. Bernetta was sure that he did not want to stop her but had to stop her because of his orders. And she did feel sorry for the child.

But she had her priorities to take care of. So when the child came near Bernetta with a needle in his hand to inject her, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

A flame busted out of her hand and surrounded her and the whole place around her. Bernetta\'s eyes were blazing as she looked at the child in front of her. The poor kid was trembling.

"You should not have tried to go against me in the first place. Now, I will be taking my leave."

"N-No you will not. If you move, then I will shoot you."

The child tried to threaten her with a small taser gun. If Bernetta could have, she would have ended up laughing out loud at that small threat.

But all she did, in the end, was click her two fingers together and the child was nicked off his feet because the earth beneath his feet shook.

"Listen, kid, don\'t try to mess with me like this. If you know what is good for you, then you would stay away from me and Shizue. If not, then I will not be able to ensure your safety."

The kid stopped breathing for a full minute. Calculations seemed to be going through his eyes before he calmed down forcefully.

"Alright, I understand. But if anything happens then I was not involved. You can spare me this much courtesy, right?"

\'Ho, I guess I underestimated this kid. He is still trying to press for advantage, even when he knows he is sorely outmatched. He is really good.\'

But as things stood, being good in negotiation was nothing when you could not back your claims up. And this kid had nothing to spare Bernetta. There was no reason for her to take him seriously.

"Alright, I will keep your name out of the list when I present it to the higher-ups. Now hurry up and run since this place is going down in flames soon."

This small warning was the last thing this kid was going to get from Bernetta. And luckily for himself, he was smart enough to recognize what was going to happen.

Once Bernetta burned down the office, she was ready to head out where she needed to. She did not have her regular suit but she did have one backup she kept for emergencies.

"Shizue, you are an idiot. Just what kind of trouble did you get yourself into? This was why I needed you to say our of this operation."

Her partner was a magnet for trouble. It followed her no matter where Shizue went and worried Bernetta. And it seemed she had gone to seek the danger this time all on her own.

\'Ugh, what a mess.\'

Bernetta was ready to do a lot of things in order to maintain her current lifestyle, and it included even murder and crime. A few deaths were nothing to ger.
