After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

Despite being mocked by Elusia, Lonnies knew that Elusia had been very kind to her just now.

Her toes didn't wobble violently at all, and after collapsing weakly to the floor, she immediately helped herself up and put herself in a chair.

He carefully wiped away the sweat from his body with a tissue.

She then covered herself with another blanket to keep herself from catching a cold.

And what about Elusia?

It seemed as if her magic had been replenished; her crimson eyes were filled with light, and it appeared that even the most ferocious beasts would not be able to escape from her.

"Alright, Lonnie. Your mission is complete. Now, all you have to do is sit quietly in the driver's seat and watch my performance."

"Waaah..."

"We've arrived. The Boundless Research Station should be just ahead."

In the pouring rain, a huge spherical building came into Lonnie's view.

Chapter 34 Rainy Night Rescue

How can one describe what the Boundless Science Station looks like?

Its design style is very similar to the science fiction space station that Lonnies had seen before her death—a spherical shape with a diameter of about 50 meters. What's even more bizarre is that the outer and inner surfaces of the research station are separate.

This means that the research station can move freely across the land like a sphere. And no matter what kind of bumps it encounters, the internal structure of the research station can remain stable and will not tilt in the slightest.

However, the research station seems to have encountered some kind of anomaly and has come to a complete standstill... It is deeply buried in the soil, and no light can be seen at all.

"Senior Yicheng, are you able to observe the interior of the Boundless Research Station?"

"It cannot be confirmed, but it can be detected that there is not a single living human inside."

"what?"

Upon hearing Yi Cheng's words, Bai Ye showed a look of horror.

However, Yi Cheng's next words immediately put everyone at ease:

"But at the same time, I haven't found a single dead human. There are probably several life forms inside the research station, but I can't determine their species. They might be monsters, or they might be biological weapons cultivated by the Boundless Research Station."

"In that case, there's not much point in going into the rescue operation, is there?"

Elusia pondered, but did not give up the idea of ​​finding out: "Well, how about this, Lonnies, Suling, you two rest inside the ship. Yicheng, Baiye, you two come with me into the ship to find out."

"Captain Elusia, I will naturally obey your orders."

"Please let Baiye do the directions."

Neither Yicheng nor Baiye showed any panic, but this made Lonnie somewhat "unwilling".

because……

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Even though she had been bullied by Elusia for so long, Lonnie always felt an urge to explore the unknown buildings and secrets, as if she had become the protagonist of the story.

But this time...

"Oh, I didn't expect Lonnie to be disobedient and stubborn again?"

"Uh?"

"Hmph, I definitely won't let you take any risks this time. You'd better stay in your room obediently."

Click!

Elusia actually took out a pair of handcuffs from her storage ring and locked Lonnie in the room.

And that's how things turned out.

Although Lonnie knew that her fighting ability was weak and she might not be able to help.

But even providing Elusia with some magical support would be helpful, right? Unlike now, she's being kept locked up on the ship like a pet that can't withstand the elements.

However, compared to the past, Elusia seems to have a better conscience.

Before leaving, she handed the key to unlock the handcuffs to Su Ling and told Su Ling to stay on the boat and not go anywhere.

……

So, only Lonnie and Zhou Suling remained on the ship. The pink-haired girl, seemingly adopting the role of a "warden," said to Lonnie:

"Okay, Lonely, you're not allowed to run around this time. Everyone is doing something very important, and we can't cause any trouble."

"Waaah..."

Lornes blinked in distress and said to Su Ling:

"Su-Ling, please unlock my handcuffs first. I won't run away."

"Huh? But Elusia-neechan specifically told us that Lonely-chan absolutely cannot go out!"

"I swear I won't go out, I'll stay inside the ship~ Trust me."

Su Ling was kind-hearted after all. Hearing Lornish's assurance, she decided to believe her and unlock the girl's handcuffs.

However, at this very moment...

……

"Roar--"

A terrifying sound suddenly rang out from outside the ship.

Hearing such a sound in the darkness was undoubtedly terrifying. Lonnie felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat broke out on her body.

Su Ling seemed to be terrified and quickly hugged Lonnie... The pink-haired girl's skin pressed tightly against the silver-haired girl's, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Little Luo! What's that sound?"

"I don't know, maybe... it's some kind of strange beast?"

The girls were still in shock, and Su Ling was also startled. She quickly removed the shackles from Lonnie's hands.

"Xiao Luo! You stay here, I'll go check the driver's seat."

"what?"

"Don't worry, I will... protect you."

Despite being trembling with fear, Zhou Suling mustered her courage and walked toward the driver's seat.

but……

"Su-Ling, let's go together."

"Xiao Luo?"

"Isn't this place very dangerous? If we go together, we can at least be safe."

"Um……"

……

In thrillers, girls often die one by one because they split up.

Lonnie, however, was not prepared to repeat such a mistake. She and Su Ling held hands, like partners on an adventure, and cautiously walked towards the driver's seat.

The sight that came into view stunned the two of them.

In the distance, a huge shadow was seen soaring low in the sky... The thing looked like a jellyfish, except that jellyfish wouldn't be this big, and it could fly in the sky.

Because of the dense rain, Lonnie couldn't see clearly at all. The enormous creature paused for a moment in one spot, then slowly drifted away.

"Su-Ling, what is that...?"

"I...I don't know either, but it looks a bit like Leviathan..."

"Leviathan?"

"Yes, my sister told me that it's a demon center used by demons to transport monsters. If it appears, it means that there might be monsters roaming nearby."

"..."

Lornes fell silent. Would she have to fight against something so enormous from now on?

That body is hundreds of meters long. Even if I tried to cut it with a sword for a year, I still wouldn't be able to cut it.

No wonder Elusia kept reminding herself to be careful. It seems that the demons are not some primitive cowards. They also have some war behemoths, just like the human magic ships, which can turn the tide of a battle.

But then, Su Ling shouted loudly again:

"Xiao Luo, look over there!"

"there……"

"It's a person, and she seems to be injured."

"!"

On the edge of a desolate hill, a woman is walking unsteadily.

She appeared to be about 1.6 meters tall, with disheveled hair. She was originally supposed to be wearing a white lab coat, but perhaps due to the rough journey, the coat was tattered.

"Xiao Luo, we need to go help her."

"Wait, Su Ling, didn't Elusia say that no matter what happens, we shouldn't leave the ship?"

"what?"

"and……"

Looking at the woman in the distance, Lonnie hesitated.

She wasn't abandoning the woman to her death; rather, she could clearly sense that the woman's condition was somewhat abnormal.

Her steps were noticeably stiff, like a zombie.

From a distance, I couldn't see her facial expression clearly, but I could vaguely make out that her skin tone was somewhat bluish.

For some reason, Lonnie remembered what Elusia had mentioned about predatory bats... Perhaps this woman had been attacked by predatory bats and was not in a normal mental state, and might attack people around her.
