[Ding! Activate the hidden quest - "Allies".]
[Ding! If you can successfully make Laylah completely your ally, you will receive a special gift package from the "World's Will".]
[Conditions: Fulfill Laylah's biggest dream.]
[Request time: 7 days. The sooner you complete the quest, the more valuable the special package will be.]
[Note: After Laylah becomes your ally, her protagonist's perks will be reduced by 80% and she will have a chance of being killed by other protagonists.]
Seeing the bulletin board in front of him, Hikaru was surprised as he didn't think that he would once again activate a hidden quest.
'The first quest was to destroy this place and the stone and it is aimed at crippling Delmor.'
'Now this quest needs me to undo Laylah's identity as a protagonist. I have a feeling… it seems like the World Will is in a hurry to destroy the main characters.'
'Could it be… something terrible is about to happen?'
'Okay, I don't need to worry that much, for now I just need to focus on completing the quests.'
'It says in the system's mission message that I need to help her fulfill her biggest dream.'
'Based on Laylah's feelings and the information I have, Laylah wishes to see Alissa again and hopes that Alissa is still alive.'
'Haizzz. I don't know if Alissa is still alive. However, according to Daziro, she is still alive, but she is just existing in a different form.'
'Perhaps… I need to get the card in the system store and ask for some information about Laylah.'
After thinking about it, he said: "So… Do you want to use it? Otherwise, I don't need it, anyway, the odds of me being in danger if i use it is too great."
Laylah glanced at the stone and said, "Do you know how to use it?"
Hikaru shook his head: "I don't know, I only know some basic information."
Laylah nodded and said, "Give me a moment, I guarantee that Alissa has information on how to use that stone."
Hikaru heard that and looked around, indeed this place was like a place dedicated to the study of the stone.
Maybe… If Delmor hadn't appeared, Alissa's research would certainly have been for Laylah.
"How long do you need?"
"Not long…" Laylah smiled confidently: "Just one day is enough."
"One day… I fear the army will reach this place before you figure out how to use it."
"So… Can you stop them?" Laylah looked at Hikaru, smiling teasingly.
"Don't provoke me. Although I don't know if I can stop them, I will try."
"Wow! So… good luck." Layla laughed.
Hikaru sighed, then turned to leave.
"Hikaru!" Suddenly Laylah called out to him.
As soon as Hikaru turned his head, he felt softness and warmth, accompanied by a seductive fragrance.
At this moment, Laylah suddenly rushed to hug him, then moved to his soft lips.
This time, the kiss was just like a dragonfly gliding on the surface of the water, her lips breaking away as soon as they touched.
Laylah looked up at him, smiling seductively: "This is revenge for you daring to kiss me earlier."
"Ah! If all revenge is as sweet as this, I hope you will show me more revenge."
"Huh! Don't think too much." However, just as he finished his sentence, Laylah stood on her toes and kissed him on the cheek: "Um..."
After the light kiss on the cheek, Laylah stepped back immediately and said: "Good luck. Don't disappoint me."
"Ah! I also hope you won't disappoint me."
The two smiled at each other, then, Hikaru left. Laylah watched Hikaru's back disappear, then she sat on the table, and smiled happily.
Laylah muttered, "Alissa, maybe I've found a place to put my painful memories."
…
6 hours later…
An army armed with bulletproof vests and guns approached the cliff.
They not only brought guns, but behind them they also brought tanks and some other military vehicles.
Behind the army was a group consisting of about 1,000 people. They brought a few personal items and food as they followed the army .
What stood out the most, however, were not the tanks, but a black presidential limousine.
In the car, a man in a black suit sat with his back on the seat, he was holding a glass of wine in his hand. It could be said that his life was as luxurious as a king.
That's right, it was Gray Wolf. In this place, no one called him by name, everyone just called him by the nickname Gray Wolf.
Opposite him was a middle-aged man, with a few gray hairs on his head, who was dressed rather disorderly.
"Arik, I hope you don't deceive me, or I will make you regret your existence."
Hearing Gray Wolf's words, Arik shivered, he felt the killing intent emanating from Gray Wolf and he felt as if he was sitting in an ice cellar.
Arik hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I am one of the researchers who participated in that project, I certainly won't deceive you."
"Every researcher on that project had a chip implanted in their brain. That chip can eavesdrop on what we say, if we tell the truth, it will explode."
"However, fortunately when the apocalypse arrived the wave coming from the sky caused all electronic devices to be disabled, including the chip in our heads."
"Gray Wolf, I don't need anything, I just need a safe place. I might even be able to help you get the technologies inside that research center."
Arik talked a lot, however, Gray Wolf didn't answer him. He sat still in the chair, while gently swirling the glass of wine in his hand.
Arik began to feel a little nervous, however, Gray Wolf did not answer him so he did not dare to continue talking.
After a while, Gray Wolf took a sip of his wine, then calmly said: "Arik, if everything goes is as you said, you won't just have a safe place to live."
"Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Money, power, women… as long as you're useful to me, understand?"
"Understood! Understood!" Arik quickly nodded.
At this moment, the car suddenly stopped moving.
"Let's go." Gray Wolf opened the door and got out of the car, and Arik hurried after him.
After getting off the car, they found this place to be a rather narrow area, with only one normal path to enter.
At this time, a person approached Gray Wolf and said, "Master, what should we do next."
Gray Wolf glanced at the cliff, then said, "Camp here for the time being, let the people following us camp outside. Let the army guard the surroundings, don't allow anyone to approach this place."
"Yes!"
After the person left, Gray Wolf led Arik and a group of about 20 fully armed soldiers near the cliff.
Arik quickly went to the side of the cliff, and started to look for something. Meanwhile Gray Wolf stood still, and looked at Arik.
After a while, Arik found a strange stone, he then used both hands to push the stone inside.
At this moment, the cliff suddenly vibrated slightly, and a door appeared in front of them.
Gray Wolf saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh fiercely and greedily.
Arik came to the side of the door, and entered a passcode on the number plate next to the door.
Crack!
The door which was made of two heavy steel plates slowly split apart, revealing an extremely large space inside.
Gray Wolf looked inside but he couldn't see anything because it was very dark inside. He then waved his hand, signaling the army behind him to go inside.
The 20 soldiers were armed with guns which had a flashlight attached to the barrel to light up the area.
Suddenly, the person walking in front stopped, then gestured for the others to point their guns at where he was aiming.
Gray Wolf stood behind, frowning in the direction the flashlight was pointing at.
There was a young man sitting cross-legged, his eyes were closed, and on the ground next to him was a metal ax.
As soon as he saw that person, Gray Wolf immediately recognized who it was.
"Hikaru?"
That's right, Hikaru sat at the entrance to the tunnel for over 6 hours as he waited for Gray Wolf to arrive.
"You're finally here, you've made me wait for a long time."
Hearing Hikaru's words, Gray Wolf frowned, he glanced at Arik: "You said this place has been abandoned for more than 20 years, why is there a rat here now?"
"I… I don't know. I don't know who that person is, the password of this place is only known to me." Arik hastily explained: "All the other researchers are in other cities, I am the only one in this city who holds the code of the research center."
Gray Wolf glanced at Arik, seeing his expression, he knew he wasn't lying.
Then, Gray Wolf looked at Hikaru again. He still remembered the clip he had seen through the surveillance camera at the abandoned factory.
It seemed that Hikaru's identity in his eyes became even more mysterious and dangerous.
Gray Wolf was in no hurry to order the army to attack. He laughed and said, "Ah! Hikaru, I never thought I'd see you here again. It seems… that you were waiting for me?"
"That's right." Hikaru opened his eyes, his gaze was so sharp that it was enough to frighten Gray Wolf.
Gray wolf had lived for more than 50 years, and till now he had never seen a pair of eyes that scared him so much.
"What do you want?" Gray Wolf shouted.
Hikaru shrugged, he slowly stood up, holding the ax in his hand: "Of course you won't be allowed to enter this place."
Gray Wolf frowned: "Does this place have anything to do with you?"
"No, I just found this place by accident."
At this time, Gray Wolf suddenly smiled slyly: "Hikaru, I'm not lying to you either. I want you to work for me."
"Hm? Why should I work for you?"
Gray Wolf laughed: "Hahaha… we are men, I understand what you need. Money, power, women… or even if you want to take over a city and become its emperor."
"I have the strength of an army, you have superpowers. As long as we cooperate, the world is ours."
"Hikaru, in this world, your enemies may not always be your enemies. Only interest is what helps us turn from enemies to allies."
"Besides… we're not enemies either, are we? As long as you and I cooperate and exploit this research center, this world will be ours."
"Ah! You're right." Hikaru smiled and said, "However, I refuse."
