After discovering that even when they walked right by, the two Ethereal didn't make a single move, the group no longer hesitated and passed by them at full speed. However, as they neared the rift entrance, everyone turned their heads in unison. Only after seeing that Wise was also following them did they enter the rift together.
As for the twin Ethereal, they only started to move after Wise had left. In fact, the two of them had originally wanted to follow along, but after being subjected to the full force of Wise's charm, plus the unreserved physical contact, the two Ethereal temporarily stopped moving the moment he disengaged, as if their systems had short-circuited. This was because, according to their settings, they should have performed certain actions after contact, but since they lacked the necessary functions, they simply stopped moving. In short, they had crashed and needed an update.
The perspective shifts to the group that has arrived on the rooftop. Although at this moment they were still amazed that Wise could communicate with Ethereal, the airship was already close at hand. They could even see Billy on it, shouting at them.
"Everyone! I'm over here!"
While Billy was shouting loudly, he was also constantly waving his arms. Wrench, on her end, had already started to take control of the airship after leaving the Hollow. And Lycaon, at this time, didn't dither either. He rushed out at full speed, leaped from the highest point, and at the peak of his jump, grasped Billy's hand.
...
Not long after, as the airship landed safely on the top of the building, everyone followed and went up to move all the unconscious passengers out. After boarding the airship, Wise was the first to go to where Nicole and the others were. After confirming that they were okay, he was immediately about to start moving them.
Just as he grabbed Anby's shoulder, preparing to pick her up, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm. Looking back, it was Ellen. Seeing Wise looking at her, she then spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. "They are girls. It's inconvenient for you. So leave it to me."
"Eh?"
Wise was stunned after hearing Ellen's words. He was about to say that they actually wouldn't mind at all, since everything that could be touched had already been touched. But after meeting her murderous gaze, Wise immediately chose to shut up, then nodded, and obediently went to help Lycaon and Billy move the remaining male passengers.
He figured Ellen was so angry probably not just because of Anby and Nekomiya, but more because of Wrench's kiss from before. At this point, she was probably at the peak of her jealousy, so it was better not to touch her trigger points again, to prevent her from really exploding.
Not long after, as the last passenger was moved out, everyone could finally rest for a bit.
"By the way, how are they doing now?" Belle came to Anby and Nekomiya's side and asked. She could vaguely hear the two of them talking in their sleep. Besides hamburgers or dried fish snacks, their words were basically inseparable from one name.
"Please rest assured. Although they inhaled a strong anesthetic, they should be able to wake up in about two or three hours."
Lycaon, who had just finished checking another passenger, walked over. It was unknown whether he had heard the two girls talking in their sleep, but his gaze was fixed on Wise at the side.
"Ahem, Lycaon, thank you for your help this time." To ease the atmosphere, Wise deliberately changed the subject. And Lycaon also responded politely.
"You flatter me. It is Victoria Housekeeping's honor to be acquainted with Phaethon. And it is precisely because of your assistance that we were able to protect our master's reputation."
As he spoke, Lycaon also bowed slightly with elegance. Just at this moment, Billy rushed over. "Everyone! News from the Public Security Bureau! They said the rescue team and the Air Police team have already set off."
Wise nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Wrench, who was still on the other side, settling the unconscious passengers. "Billy, Wrench's identity as a hacker is rather special, and she also hacked into the airship under the enemy's threat. It would be very troublesome if she were caught by the Public Security Bureau. So we will take her and evacuate through the Hollow first."
What Wise said to Billy was also caught by Wrench not far away. The small hand covering a passenger with a blanket trembled slightly, and at the same time, a shy smile appeared on her small face. Is... is he concerned about me? I'm getting a little shy...
It seemed that because of the recent life-and-death experience, as well as the sense of security that Wise had given her, Wrench, a young girl who had never been in love, was now a bit... love-struck?
"Anyway, Billy, you should know what to say in a little while, right?"
"Understood. Because I didn't inhale the anesthetic, after discovering that the airship was in trouble, I flew it and made an emergency landing here." Speaking of which, Billy suddenly thought of the matter of the case hearing. "Sigh, speaking of which, with something like this happening, can the Vista case still be heard on time?"
Hearing his question, Lycaon, who was more professional on the side, gave the answer. "Most likely, the Public Security Bureau will take Perlman back, and then set a new date for the hearing."
Afterward, Wise took Belle with him again, and then turned to Billy and said, "Anyway, we'll leave this place to you. We'll be taking a step first."
Billy enthusiastically waved goodbye to everyone, and then came to his own companions, especially Boss Nicole, who was even talking about the Vista case in her sleep. At this time, the situation in her dream seemed to have already been won. Nicole was even using her own large assets as a pillow, a foolish smile on her face. It could be said that what one thinks about by day, one dreams about at night. It was just unknown what her expression would be when she woke up and learned what had happened today.
However, in an unnoticed corner, Perlman discovered that everyone else had left, leaving only Billy behind. He then quietly got up and ran onto the airship. By the time Billy discovered him, he had already taken off with the airship.
At the same time, on the other side, the group that had returned to the Hollow did not encounter the twin Ethereal this time, but there were many traces of battle left on the ground. Could it be that they had an internal fight? That shouldn't be, right?
Not thinking too much, the group continued to move forward. Along the way, Wrench incessantly wanted to get close to Wise. It seemed that because she had almost died once, her mentality had changed, so much so that her personality had become more open. And Ellen at the side had a sullen expression, "tsking" from time to time, as if she were disdainful of Wrench's actions. But her body was very honestly walking on the other side of Wise. Besides that, one could not ignore the still-ignorant little Corin. She was walking behind Wise. Because she wanted to do so, she was relatively close, but the懵懂 her did not know the situation of the three people in front.
Not long after leaving the Hollow, the group parted ways. It was just that on the way home, Wise unexpectedly discovered that Wrench also lived in Sixth Street. Thinking that it was on the way, he just took her home together. He also added her contact information along the way.
