Chapter 884: Sudden Appearance
“Why are you here?” Lucifer asked, stunned at the sight of an unexpected face. This was the last person he had expected to see here.
“Maya, Did Joana send you to spy on me?” he asked the beautiful woman who was in the Star Alliance Uniform.
“Well, not exactly to spy on you,” the lady responded. “I was sent here to investigate something.”
“Investigate what?” Lucifer asked.
In the meantime, Veracity and others also noticed Lucifer in the shop. They all walked to him, standing beside, wondering who this woman was.
“As you know, after discovering this world, we made you our envoy of this world and added this world to our database. That’s why we can monitor the energy signatures even from far away. Around a few weeks ago, we received the signs of a ma.s.sive disturbance in the energy signatures of this world. We don’t know what that was, but whatever it was, it was enough to shock Captain Joana.”
“That energy disturbance was nothing like we have ever measured before. It was on the levels of apocalypse energy. That’s why he immediately went to the Queen to take permission. After a few weeks, he finally got the permission to send another envoy here to get in contact with you so we can get a report since, for some reason, the device we gave you wasn’t working.”
“That’s why I was sent here. I’m here to write a report about that disturbance and its effects. In fact, today is the day I arrived here,” Maya explained.
“Is Joana here as well?” Lucifer asked.
The lady shook her head. “We only had the permission to send one person, so I was sent here. Unfortunately, there seemed to be some trouble and the portal opened in the dressing room.”
“I was just leaving to look for you. Fortunately, I found you here as well. Now, do you have anything to report? What was that disturbance?” She asked.
“Argh, that’s right. The device I was given was destroyed in the conflict. I can understand why you couldn’t contact me. Anyway, come with me. I think we should talk in some privacy.” Lucifer held the hands of Maya.
“Kellian, take Veracity and wait for me in the helicopter,” he commanded Kellian before he disappeared with Maya.
Lucifer appeared on the roof of the mall, hoping to get some privacy. Unfortunately, he wasn’t alone even now. He noticed a young man standing on the roof, taking selfies.
“Is it so hard to find some privacy?” Lucifer asked as he snapped his fingers. A Portal opened under the young man, which swallowed him, sending him to the lower floors.
“This should be enough. Anyway, back to the topic. The reason for that disturbance was that the world was under attack.”
“World was under attack? Who dares to attack Star Alliance territory?!” Maya exclaimed in rage. When she heard that the world was attacked, she thought it was by another Spatial organization. Almost all the worlds were informed that this world was under the protection of the Star Alliance. If there was some world who ignored these instructions, then it was like raging a war against earth.
“You know Baltics?” Lucifer asked. “They are what we called Dungeon Dwellers. Their King managed to get free. That’s what that energy signature was. Fortunately, we managed to kill him. Everything is under control now, so no need to worry. You can write that on your report and leave.”
“Baltics? I think there was a species like that, but didn’t they go extinct a long time ago? The world of Baltics was destroyed, according to our database. Not even the ruins were left as the world disappeared. Are you sure they were Baltics?” Maya asked, frowning.
“That’s what they called themselves. And I’m sure they weren’t lying. They also mentioned that their world was destroyed and they had arrived here, so the story matches up. It seems like your database was wrong. They hadn’t gone extinct. At least not until they attacked this world. How you can say that they are extinct in true sense,” Lucifer explained. “Anyway, there’s your report. You can leave now. I’m a bit busy.”
Lucifer jumped off the building, bidding farewell, leaving stunned Maya behind. However, only a few seconds had pa.s.sed when Lucifer came back again. “I forgot something. Can I get another device I can use to contact you since mine was destroyed?’
“Ah, yeah.” Maya gave a small badge to Lucifer. “This should help you.”
“That’s good. Have a safe trip back home.” Lucifer jumped again, but a few seconds later, his figure appeared behind Maya again as he teleported behind her.
“One last thing!” He called out Maya from behind, shocking her. “Did you find information about the other stones from Xaen?”
“Not yet. We are in the process. It won’t be long though. We will contact you soon with the information as soon as we find it,” Maya answered.
“Got it.” For the third time, Lucifer jumped off the building like it was a ride.
Maya looked at her surroundings, expecting Lucifer to appear again. Unfortunately, this time he didn’t come. A helicopter took off and departed right before Maya’s eyes.
Maya watched the helicopter leave, sensing Lucifer to be inside. “I honestly didn’t expect him to appear right before me. It’s good that he wasn’t suspicious.”
She let out a sigh of relief as she looked at the beautiful sky. “Now, time to focus on my mission.”
His figure disappeared as she landed on the ground as well. She started advancing towards an unknown direction.
She didn’t realize she wasn’t alone. A shadow was closely following behind him. Even though Lucifer had left, he had made sure to leave his shadow behind, hiding it in the shadow of Maya. That was also the reason why he kept appearing around her again and again after leaving. He wanted to be close to her without attracting too much attention.
He didn’t trust a single word that Maya had said. He was sure that she told him many lies in her statements. There was just this feeling inside him, especially since Veracity had signaled him back in the shop when Maya was telling him her story.
From that point on, he didn’t believe a single thing she said. He was sure she was here with some ulterior motive. As for why she was keeping it a secret from him, he wasn’t sure. All he knew was that he needed to know the secret. Was her mission related to the file he had read back in the future? If that was the case, he knew he had to stop her.
