Chapter 99: Mansa's Nightmare
"It's unbelievable. There are so many plants in that observation station?"
At the front desk of the Mercenary Management Office, the clerk named Elena was sharing photos from the camera with Mansha.
When talking about her works, Mansha is obviously no longer as reticent and shy as usual. For almost every photo, she has her own feelings and shooting purposes. It is hard to imagine that for these still pictures
, how could she have so many feelings, but fortunately, the clerk who could not travel far listened to this quietly and interestingly.
"Yes, I bet I have never seen so many plants in my life. There are almost everything there, such as flowers that look like blood, trunks that look like old man's skin, and pink fruits. Really
, just like a world in a fairy tale. Wait a minute, I have photos here, and I can show you one by one."
"Of course, I'm waiting for it. Please turn it out quickly."
"Wait a minute~Wait a minute~" Seeing someone looking forward to her work so much, Mansha swept away her previous timid appearance and proudly held the camera in her hand, squinting her eyes and saying.
Elena, on the other hand, came closer to Mansha attentively, staring intently at the screen in the camera, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise as the photos flipped.
Just like what Mansha said, the camera captured all plants that she had never seen before, as if it opened a door to a new world for her, allowing her to re-understand the world.
Maybe they were both too focused on it, so they didn't notice that after about five minutes, the tavern suddenly became quiet.
How should I describe this kind of silence? It's probably like the kind of silence that would be very embarrassing if you farted at this time.
Well, actually no one would try that.
In short, there was no sound in the tavern at this moment. Almost everyone focused their attention on the door, looking at a woman walking in alone from outside.
She was tall and tall, with a pair of military boots under her long and powerful legs, which made the iron-covered ground creak. She wore a fur-collared army coat on her shoulders, and the brown fluff should be of some ferocious nature.
The wild beast adds an indescribable majesty to her temperament.
Wearing a straight dark green military uniform under the coat, her figure looks upright and powerful. Coupled with her sharp eyes half-hidden by the brim of the hat, it seems that just by looking at her, you can feel her iron blood.
and cold.
This woman must have just returned from the ice field, which can be seen from the snowflakes on her body that have not completely melted.
The reason why everyone is silent is actually not difficult to understand, because this woman is the owner of this mercenary station and the commander of the Central Mercenary Corps, Angelica.
That terrifying woman known as the Queen of Fire.
Rumor has it that no matter whether she is facing a beast or a human, all she thinks about is how to kill the other person, which is why she developed those sharp-edged eyes.
No one can even lie in front of her, because her gaze can peel you apart, leaving you with no secrets left in front of her.
Not everyone here has met Angelica, but as members of the Central Mercenary Corps, they have naturally known about their leader through various channels.
So when Angelica entered the management office, everyone fell silent.
Only Elena and Mansha, who were still immersed in the "two-person world", did not notice the change in the atmosphere and were still discussing the growth and reproduction of plants excitedly at the front desk.
Against the background of the surrounding environment, Angelica also noticed these two unique girls at the first time.
However, she didn't pay much attention at first. She just walked to the front desk, handled her own affairs, and submitted task information.
Until Mansha, who had forgotten everything, said such a sentence.
"Speaking of which, I was lucky enough to eat a kind of food at that observatory. It was a very special pastry. It was a little sweet and a little bitter, but it had an extremely soft and fragrant texture. It was even better than candy.
It tastes ten times more delicious. It seems to be called cake or something. I have never eaten anything like this, but that one time has made me unable to forget it until now."
So, as the words fell, Angelica's eyes finally fell completely on Mansha.
It was a look completely different from ordinary gaze.
The reason why I say this is because at this moment, Angelica's body is stiff, as if she has heard some incredible news, and even the pupils in her eyes have shrunk slightly. You must know that her original eyes have a kind of dismay
It's a deterrent that ordinary people want to retreat from, let alone what it looks like now.
Looking at her, the mercenaries on both sides shuddered.
Is something big going to happen?
They think so unconsciously.
But Angelica didn't notice this at all, she just walked slowly behind Mansha in a trance.
Perhaps feeling that she was being gradually obscured by a shadow, Elena raised her head. The next moment, she saw Angelica's expression as if she was about to eat someone, and she was so scared that she froze in place.
.
Mansha, however, was still talking calmly because her back was to the door.
Until she noticed something strange about Elena, and asked in confusion.
"Elena, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Elena did not answer her question, but slowly raised a finger and pointed behind Mansha.
"Behind me? What happened during my meeting?" Mansha turned her head in surprise.
Then, she saw a shadow and a scary woman looking down at her.
The woman was dressed in a military uniform, and her slender and tall body completely blocked the skylight outside the door. The coat on her shoulders was swaying gently, and with the wind blowing in from outside the door, there was a stream of air mixed with engine oil and blood.
The smell passed into Mansha's nose.
She stood so close that Mansha could even see some blood stains on her clothes. These blood stains obviously did not belong to her. No one knew who they belonged to.
All Mansha could feel at this time was the woman's overly sharp eyes and a pressure that almost crushed her.
The two stared at each other for a while, until the woman spoke almost word for word.
"Can you please say what you just said again?"
