Chapter 16 [We thirst for the seven wailing]

"Miss, please stop being willful! This is your father's order. You must be taken away!"

A luxurious, comfortable private room, with all the decorations that she liked or bought herself. Compared to the student dormitory in Abydos which has been in disrepair for a long time and always leaks sand, this is ten times better.

"But... Serika-chan has not been found yet, and there are Hoshino and the others! Everyone——"

Her weapon, "Mini Machine Gun V", was placed aside, and the mottled wear on it silently told of the past she had experienced.

"Miss, forget Abydos. The master has arranged for you to enter Trinity Academy. Before that, please wait at home and don't think too much; everything will pass."

The gold card has been left. Will Shiroko-chan use it?

... Maybe not? Shiroko is that kind of person, and everyone in the Foreclosure Taskforce is also like that.

Click.

Nonomi pressed the button on her bedside and sat up stiffly from the soft big bed. The window was covered with heavy blackout curtains. If the lights were not turned on, the room would be pitch black.

"Everyone..."

She was a despicable deserter.

She pulled herself out of that bottomless quagmire and no longer cared about the remaining people who were still struggling in the quagmire.

Nonomi scolded herself like this.

The anonymous reward posted on the Internet was more like a way of self-comfort and escaping reality than actual help.

After all, the enemy was clearly written.

"Kaiser Corporation".

One was Abydos, which was already on the decline, and the other was the Kaiser Corporation, which was in its heyday. That super-large group was the target the Izayoi family was unwilling to provoke.

Who in all of Kivotos would have the courage to fight against the Kaiser Corporation?

So, this was destined to be a commission that no one would take. It was just an excuse for Nonomi, an excuse that "I am still helping Abydos," which made her feel a little relieved.

"Let's see if anyone has accepted the commission today..."

Even checking every day to see if the commission has been accepted was a form of self-comfort. Clicking on the commission meant that she had not "forgotten Abydos" and had not forgotten the others who fought in Abydos.

Even though she already knew the result, Nonomi still stretched out her hand and clicked on the commission interface as if hypnotizing herself.

"Sure enough, no one has accepted it today..."

It was accepted.

"What!?"

The commission was accepted.

"Here, who is it..."

Nonomi refreshed the page in disbelief, unable to believe her eyes. There was a prompt on the page that someone had accepted it, and the coordinates of the person who accepted the commission were - Millennium Science School.

"Really, there is someone... willing to help them..."

Nonomi's nose grew sore, and tears burst out.

She wanted to say something to thank everything in front of her. However, the person who accepted the commission had not left their name, so Nonomi blurted out:

"Thanks... Kami-sama..."

Except for miracles, Nonomi did not think there was a more straightforward and clear word to describe what happened. Maybe the word "God" is something only the Sisters of Trinity Academy would use, but Nonomi felt for the first time at this moment that there are "miracles" in this world.

"But... why didn't this person contact me?"

Nonomi wiped her tears and looked at the commission acceptance interface again.

There was no contact information, no name, only a certificate of acceptance for the commission, and a location that showed the commission was accepted from Millennium's forum. Other than that, all the information was blank.

And where is the person who accepted the commission now?

"I've made an agreement with Momoi and the others to come back after finishing my business. Veritas has also given us the address of the Abydos school district. Well, this way everything is safe!"

Kuroto Dan used the network port to move at high speed in Kivotos, instantly crossing several school districts and moving forward along the direction provided by Veritas.

"Mr. Kuroto Dan, I'd like to remind you that there is no Internet in Abydos. The school's Internet has been shut down for a long time due to arrears, so the Internet cannot reach there."

Before Kuroto Dan left Millennium, Hare of Veritas gave Kuroto Dan the address.

"So, the hacker support from Millennium cannot reach there. Are you sure you don't need to bring a few more people to protect you? We are fine if a bullet hits us, but an adult like you will be finished if a bullet hits your head, right?"

"Don't worry, I am an immortal existence!"

Kuroto Dan went along the network port to the Abydos school district, which used to be the largest school district in all of Kivotos.

But now, due to a sandstorm, not only was the city of Abydos destroyed, but the entire school was desertified. This was the beginning of all disasters.

This also led to the fact that the only port that could be used in Abydos was the gateway set by the Kaiser Corporation. Kuroto Dan swaggered through other people's networks, so naturally he triggered the alarm on the Kaiser Corporation's network.

"Viruses have been detected invading the network!

"Clean it up!"

"No! The computing power is completely crushed!"

"Hurry up and start the backup hidden computing power!"

The hackers of the Kaiser Corporation were in a mess, trying to clean up the foreign entity in Kuroto Dan's network. But unfortunately, Kuroto Dan just used 20% of the virus and electrocuted the hackers of Kaiser Corporation!

"Tsk, you can't even hold up 20% of my power, and you dare to show off your tricks?"

Kuroto Dan snorted disdainfully and continued on his way.

What Kuroto Dan didn't notice was that part of the Bugster Virus he spread to attack the Kaiser Corporation had infected a server of the Kaiser Corporation and had hidden inside it.

Drilling out along the network port closest to Abydos High School, the clustered Bugster Virus turned into Kuroto Dan's appearance.

"The Kaiser Corporation's building has been built to the gate of Abydos." Kuroto Dan looked ahead at the Abydos High School, which was just two streets away, and took a step forward. "Although they are both school districts, Abydos and Millennium are completely different."

Crossing the street, Kuroto Dan walked toward the small school. The ground at the school gate was originally cleaned by someone to ensure that sand would not pile up every day. Now, because no one cleans it, the sand covers the road at the gate and even spreads into the school.

In the pile of sand on the ground, you could see the shells dropped in it.

Kuroto Dan kicked it casually, not knowing whether there were more sand or shells, and the waves rustled.

"The sandstorm is really serious."

Kuroto Dan shook his head and continued walking toward the only school building.

After he stepped into the school playground and passed halfway, a gunshot suddenly rang out, accurately opening a hole at Kuroto Dan's fee

The loudspeaker in the school made a "sizzle" sound, and then a tired, cold voice sounded.

"...Stop. No, keep going."

Kuroto Dan raised his head and saw the lonely white wolf hiding behind the corridor wall.
