Alien paradise

Elodie's expression suddenly changed!

She didn't know what the mask represented, but the word "Paradise" in the lower right corner of the screen and the icon of VR glasses immediately made her understand who the caller was!

"What's wrong? Who called you?" Bran noticed something strange about her.

"No, it's nothing, it's just a notice of non-payment of the apartment's water and electricity bills." Elodie turned off the screen and quickly walked through the warehouse and came to a small room next door. After confirming that the call was still on, she gritted her teeth and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"It's me, toward——"

"Devil, how did you know this number! And what's going on with this contact picture? When did you secretly corrupt my phone?"

"No, it's just that I corrupt people. Isn't it a bit outrageous to corrupt electronic products?" Chaoyang's voice was higher than hers, "And you are allowed to track me, but I am not allowed to track you? You enter through the channel I opened. The paradise world will naturally leave traces on me, so isn't it normal for me to come back and look for you?"

"You -" Elodie froze for a moment, "Our contract should be limited to that world, you can't even think of interfering with my life here!"

"Life and freedom are too great, right?" Chaoyang disapproved, "Don't worry, I don't intend to let the contract cross the border, but it doesn't mean we have to sever contact here. So this way I can conveniently inform you, Shinichi The Wheel Paradise game is about to begin—it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”

"Now? But I still have many important things to deal with..."

"For example, Wayne James is a hot potato? Let's see... Well, his condition is a bit bad. You didn't even prepare food and drink for him, right? The guy who was guarding him... even beat him. "

Elodie's heart suddenly sank.

The place where Zhanst was imprisoned was the basement of this warehouse. The entrance and exit were locked with chains. The only way for the devil to see what was going on inside was through the camera.

Could it be that not only the mobile phones but also this warehouse were completely conquered by demons?

This means that all members of the Skeleton Hand are now exposed to the surveillance of the other party!

"Yes, I can see it." Chaoyang directly pointed out the problem she was afraid of, "Do you think demons can only deceive people's hearts? It's 3202 years ago, and demons can also surf the Internet."

No...it should be 2023 now...

Before Elodie could speak, Chaoyang continued, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not interested in killing all your organizations. In fact, I'm here to help."

"help?"

"Yes, that Qiao James...that is, the James you caught, I found a place for you to hand him over. To put it simply, you will send him to this address at noon tomorrow -" Chaoyang paused He paused and waited for the address to be sent, "Then someone will take over. The method is also very simple. There is a truck parked there, and the back door is unlocked. You put James in, and then go to the co-pilot to collect the reward. The handover is complete."

"Who's going to take over? I'm guessing it won't be his fellow criminals?"

"Of course not, you should trust me more." Seeing that she didn't let go, Chaoyang could only reveal the answer to the mystery and said, "Well, Interpol is very interested in him, at least much more than the L city police. What do you know about him? The evidence of the crime is nothing more than scratching the surface to him."

"Why do you... care about this?" Elodie asked in disbelief.

"Why, I still have to protect those evildoers who have committed heinous crimes? What's more, this matter is beneficial to me, and it won't take much effort with a little push."

"I knew you had other plans..." She hummed, "How much is the reward?"

"One hundred thousand pounds. I thought you wouldn't care about money." Chaoyang was slightly surprised. In fact, it was only after he heard the conversation between Zhang Zhiyuan and Gao Wei that he noticed a lot of bounties hanging on Wayne James. There are rewards offered by Interpol headquarters, as well as individual rewards for each region where he committed the crime. Since it was Elodie who caught James, he simply accepted the reward from the British Isles as a condition of exchange.

"I don't need money, but the organization does. Without money, we can't carry out operations." She explained, "In fact, we were also planning to exchange Zhanst for bounties at the beginning, but from his competitors. Take it. One hundred thousand is more than I expected...Thank you."

The last few words sounded almost like the sound of a mosquito.

"If you need money, I can directly tell you Zhanst's personal account. There is probably tens of millions in it..."

"And then let me be targeted by the police because of these properties of unknown origin, and finally have to leave the clues in your hands? You can't even try to seduce me with this, devil!" Elinor's tone returned to a cold state, "And What’s the difference between this and you giving me money?”

"Can't you give me money?"

"Of course not!" she said resolutely, "If an organization cannot earn funds through its own operations, then it will lose its independence. I will never let the devil control the skeleton..."

"What's the skeleton?" Chaoyang asked deliberately.

Ellie blushed, "That's enough! I'll go there in person at noon tomorrow, right? When will the park game you mentioned start?"

"Let me do the math... excluding the time difference, it should be 8:30 in the morning the day after tomorrow." Chaoyang did not continue to embarrass her, "It doesn't have to be exactly on time. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. I won't send you VR glasses. You should know to come here. Methods."

"The energy consumed..."

"It will be added after the game is settled, okay?" Chaoyang said speechlessly.

The call was then cut off.

Elodie walked out of the hut and found that everyone was looking at her with concern.

She couldn't help but sigh secretly, her partner was not a fool, and the lie about water and electricity arrears could not be hidden from everyone, "Actually..."

"Wow, your face is so red." Hill hugged her, "Elodie, don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Eh-" The crowd burst into cheers.

This time it was Elodie's turn to be stunned, "Of course not, what are you talking about!"

"Then why did your cheeks turn red after answering the phone?" Hill asked reluctantly.

"Little Lottie has grown up and can understand..."

"After all, I come from the city of romance."

Elodie's embarrassment quickly receded, leaving only a calm indifference - there was indeed something wrong with these guys, and she was still too kind to them!

However, she couldn't figure it out for a moment. Although she wouldn't feel any embarrassment after saying Skeleton Hand a hundred times in front of these people, why did her tongue freeze when she told it to the devil?

Could it be that he has been mentally invaded by the devil without knowing it?

She shook her head, forcing the thought out of her mind. It is still possible for the other party to monitor every move of everyone in the warehouse through cameras. She must not show any weakness, "I have already contacted Wayne James' successor, who is Interpol. Of course, we must also be prepared. At least two sets of plans to prevent changes in the process of taking over.”

After Elodie recounted the details of the transaction, she added at the end, "After this is completed, I will close my door and practice for a period of time in order to regain more strength."

Everyone was greatly surprised when they heard this.

"I've never seen you practice before? How long will it take?"

"Is it the same as ninja training?"

"Idiot, Angel's training must be mainly based on meditation!" Everyone said at once.

"Maybe soon, maybe it will take a few days." Elodie replied slowly. After all, she didn't know what kind of trick the park game was. Although Chaoyang once said that time is not a problem and it was just an accident last time, she cannot let down her guard. "Don't worry, this is a necessary exercise after awakening. When my strength increases, the skeleton hand can do more."

Even if she needs to draw strength from the devil.

Even if this road will be extremely bumpy.

In order to achieve her heart's desire, she will not back down.
