Chapter 249 Lily's Awakening!



Chapter 249  Lily\'s Awakening!

Shin: {Guys, are you there?}

Elena: {Shin! We are here!}

Shin: {Oh Elena! The buses have entered the city!}

Aurora: {Yeah, I can see you.}

Elena: {Really? Why can\'t I see?}

Reina: {The buses are hidden by formations. It\'s normal for Elena to not find them.}

Elena: {Then why can Aurora find him?}

Aurora: {I can\'t locate the bus. I can feel Shin\'s high vitality.}

Hearing Aurora\'s explanation, everyone understood the reason.

Elena: {Shin, how are things on your side?}

Shin: {Everything is going as planned. Once I give the signal, be ready to act on it. Eddie, are you there?}

Eddie: {Yes, Boss!}

Shin: {Remember Eddie, what you have to do. As soon as you come in range, act on it.}

Eddie: {I won\'t disappoint you.}

Shin: {I am counting on you.} {Dad, did you find anything?}

Alfred: {I\'ve found some things, but nothing related to the experiments.}

Shin: {… I see. In that case, we will continue the previous plan.}

Alfred: {Sigh It seems so.}

While Shin was still talking via transmission. A gentle shake beside him woke him up.

"Noah, wake up. We have arrived." A sweet childish voice sounded in his ears.

"Umm~" Shin pretended to have just woken up.

"Good morning! Lily~!"

"Good morning~" Lily whispered.

Of course, he had sensed what Lily was going to do. So, he just acted on it. He hadn\'t slept all night, but keeping up with the act was necessary.

\'The real Noah inside the Soul Space should have woken up by now.\'

\'Well! I\'ll just leave him to Aunt Mia for now.\'

While Shin was still thinking, he heard those martial artists of the Shadow Hawk corps talk amongst themselves.

"What happened?"

"I just felt like someone was watching us."

"How is that possible? With the formations in place, everyone will basically ignore the buses."

\'Oops! Not good!\'

{Aurora, keep your focus low. They can sense you.}

"Yeah, it must be my imagination."

Sigh

Soon the buses moved towards Death Valley, east of Kenshun City. The name of this place, Death Valley, came from the meteor shower that fell here 30 years ago and destroyed the old Kenshun Village that existed here.

After that, Kenshun City was established and what was left of this desolate place was just a hazy memory.

Now, finding that the SMUP research site was hidden somewhere here was rather surprising.

\'No wonder, no news about it was found all these years.\' Shin mumbled with a sigh.

Soon the road came to a dead end, and the buses stopped.

"I\'ll go."

Thud

A martial artist jumped out of the bus walking toward the rocky mountain in front.

Shin, who was looking at his every action with his magic eyes. Saw that the martial artists took out a yellow talisman and attached it to the rock in front of him.

Then he interested some of his life energy in that talisman and the up. Of course, most of them were still sleeping.

\'It seems there was nothing wrong with the sleeping drug.\'

next moment, a magical scene happened. A pathway opened through the rocky mountain going inside.

\'Is that an Illusion Charm?\'

While Shin was keenly looking at everything. He was also sharing the information with Elena via transmission.

Lily beside Shin looked at the scene of the pathway appearing with wide eyes.

Shin also sensed that some of the children were also slowly waking up. Of course, most of them were still sleeping.

\'It seems there was nothing wrong with the sleeping drug.\'

One by one, the buses entered the pathway and the illusion behind them appeared again.

\'If it\'s just an illusion, it shouldn\'t be a problem.\'

As the buses went further deep inside the tunnel. The rocky terrain was completely replaced with steel.

\'There are traps!\'

Shin\'s eyes moved around like a curious child. But inwardly, he was frowning. Because he could see hundreds of weapons hidden behind the walls.

"No...ah~"

"What is it, Lily?"

"I\'m scared."

Shin looked at Lily in confusion. What is there to be scared about? From what he has seen since yesterday. Although Lily is a bit timid. She is still a very brave girl in her heart. What is it that scares her?

"What are you scared about, Lily?"

"I don\'t know." Lily shook her head pitifully, almost on the verge of crying.

"Don\'t know?" Shin\'s lips twitched. If she doesn\'t know what she is scared about, how can he help her?

But looking at her crying appearance, Shin knew it was real. Something was going on with Lily.

"Tell me, Lily. I\'ll help you." Shin asked gently.

Hearing this, Lily looked at him with trembling eyes. "I... I can hear them. They are scared."

Shin\'s brows furrowed. \'They?\'

Gently hugging her shoulders close to him, Shin used Mind Control around him, which acted like a sound barrier.

"About whom are you talking about Lily?"

"I... I don\'t know. But I can feel it. They are scared! They wanted to live! They are crying! They don\'t want to feel any more pain!"

Even with Shin\'s hug. The trembling in her body didn\'t stop and the more she talked, the more tears fell down her eyes.

Shin used his Enhanced Senses to search for what Lily was talking about. But even after raising his senses to the max, he couldn\'t find anything weird.

\'Is she feeling someone\'s emotions? But whose?\'

In confusion, Shin used Magic Eyes to look at her.

***

[Lily Lunart]

[Level - 0 (Unawakened)]

[Age - 12]

[Potential Awakening SS Rank]

[Trait - Shy, Scared, Confused, Sad]

[In the process of awakening. Once she experiences a stimulating emotion, she will awaken.]

***

\'So what she is experiencing is because of her awakening?\'

Shin didn\'t understand it completely. Because, to him, awakening is still a mystery. But from the information, it should be something related to it.

"Calm down, Lily! Listen to me, I am with you, okay? You will be fine. Understand?"

Only then did Lily calm down a little and nodded her head. But the crystal tears in the corner of her big black eyes made Shin\'s heart ache a little.

\'Poor girl.\'

Shin looked at her with the eyes of a big brother and while comforting her, he said assuredly. "Just tell me everything. I\'ll solve it for you."

"Hmm." Lily nodded her little head and said. "I can hear some voices crying out for help. They want me to save them."

Shin understood the point and asked. "What is it they want you to save them from?"

Lily\'s lips trembled as she answered. "From pain."

"Pain?"

"Yes, they don\'t want to suffer anymore."

"Do you know their name?" Shin asked tentatively.

Shaking his head, Lily said. "No, they said they don\'t remember."

"Don\'t remember, huh?" Shin frowned.

Talking with Shin, Lily stopped hearing those voices and her mind calmed down a little.

Then abruptly, the lolita raised her head and said. "Just now, one of them told me that she knows her new name."

"New name?"

"Yes, she calls herself Azure. She talks the clearest."

"Oh?" Shin\'s eyes lit up as he asked. "Can you talk to her even now?"

Lolita Lily nodded her head affirmatively.

"Ask her where is she now?" Shin had some guesses regarding what voices Lily was hearing. But he needed to confirm.

Lily\'s lips tightened as she looked at Shin while tilting her head. She Shin\'s eyes were cold and a terrifying killing intent emerged from his body, but he immediately suppressed it.

stated. "Azure said she is inside a big liquid container and there are several similar containers around her."

Lily didn\'t understand the situation of Azure, but can Shin not?

As soon as the container was mentioned, Shin immediately remembered the containers he saw in the SMUP facility in Aston City.

\'Sure enough, the people she communicated with are the victims of this human research.\'

Shin\'s eyes were cold and a terrifying killing intent emerged from his body, but he immediately suppressed it.

\'I need to calm down. It\'s not time yet.\' Reminding himself once again. Shin uttered.

"Lily!"

"Hm?"

"Tell Azure we will save her."

As soon as Shin said that, Lily\'s eyes lit up and a sweet smile appeared on her small face.

"Okay~"

***

Inside the container of experiment number A - 006.

Azure, who was pretending to be unconscious, heard Lily\'s message and smiled softly.

\'She wants to save me?\'

Although she doesn\'t know how she could talk with this girl. She knows one thing for sure. The owner of this voice was a kind person. As for why? She can only say it was a feeling.

\'I know you want to save me. But you shouldn\'t risk your life for my sake.\'

\'...\'

Azure found that there was no reply from the other side. \'Can\'t we talk anymore?\'

She felt a little loss in her heart. But she immediately recomposed herself. \'It doesn\'t matter. I\'ll escape on my own. But if possible, I want to meet her.\'

\'I seem to have some superpowers. It shouldn\'t be a problem escaping. I just have to wait for the right time.\'
