Chapter 639 We Are in the Light, Death is in the Dark
After Aphra sent Bertrand back to safe house No. 39, she hid nearby with Akemi Miyano and Scotland.
After the lesson learned from the discovery of safe house No. 3 last time, they now directly deal with any suspicious person they see without any hesitation.
At this time, a black figure appeared near safe house No. 39. Aphra slightly opened her eyelids to take a glance, then closed her eyes silently again.
Asti pushed the door open and walked in. The next second, a silver-haired boy rushed over and hugged him.
He seemed a little helpless, and slowly stroked his head with his hand. A bright blue light flashed by, and the other person's wet hair dried instantly.
"Asti, you're back just in time!"
Bertrand pulled him over to the sofa where Gin was sitting.
He pushed Asti onto the single sofa, and after he sat down, Bertrand ran around to look for the letter that he had thrown away somewhere.
Then he found a few letters scattered in the corners.
Gin took a glance and saw that they were four identical letters.
Just at this moment, the door of the safe house was opened again, and in came the beautiful witch with long platinum hair, Vermouth.
She flirted with Bertrand. "Sweetheart, is there something urgent that you called me here so late?"
Bertrand nodded repeatedly and waved the four unopened and gorgeously decorated letters in his hand. "It's urgent. It's urgent."
After Vermouth also sat down on the sofa, the boy looked at the lower left corner of the envelope, handed the envelopes to them one by one, and said: "This is the letter I received several days ago, and I haven't opened it yet."
"Is it only given to us?" Gin glanced at the lower left corner where his code name 'Gin' was written, his brows furrowed, and his tone became much colder.
"It seems to be true. What is written on it is our code name." Vermouth still had a bright smile, but her tone revealed a hint of danger like a venomous snake.
Bertrand threw the letter to him and hummed softly, "I didn't pay attention to these letters at first, but I got some great information when I eavesdropped on a detective today. I'll talk about it after I hear from the people in the church."
As he spoke, he rummaged in his bag and pulled out a cube the size of a fingernail with something resembling a camera on the front.
After a short while, a red light flashed on the camera, and then a virtual screen popped up.
"..."
Except for Bertrand, everyone else seemed particularly silent.
The virtual screen showed—
[Do you want to respond to the incoming call?]
Bertrand reached over and nodded, and explained to Gin and the others, "This is a tool left to me by the witch across the street. She said it's for communication."
Although in reality church members do not use this kind of technological tools, they only do so because the Black Organization is a technological organization.
After the connection was established, the figures of the three people on the opposite side appeared on the virtual screen.
Belmode: "..."
She suddenly understood why the other party was so disdainful of cooperating with them.
"Did you receive this fancy letter?" Bertrand asked first, swinging the envelope in his hand.
"received."
The people on the church side are still as mysterious as ever, using voice changers anytime and anywhere.
Murataya, who was sitting in the main seat, laughed grimly, "They are really bold. They knew we were investigating them but still dared to send us an invitation letter."
Bertrand nodded in agreement, and the bright smile on his face turned a little dim, "That's right, they are so arrogant."
"So what information did you get?"
Gin lowered his eyes to look at the letter in his hand and interrupted their dazed behavior.
"It's about the experimental base. I eavesdropped on a detective who also received their invitation letter, and learned from them that the organization is called "Death." Bertrand answered while picking at the wax on the envelope.
"The end of life, eternal extinction, destruction, death..." Murataya whispered softly, and both parties could hear it clearly.
"But what they do is more than just what the name suggests." The female voice, whose face was covered by the platinum hood, sounded strange and cold because of the voice changer. "What they do is to allow life to be reborn once again in the midst of its demise."
"It's like treating yourself as the god of death and playing with the life and death of others at will." Bertrand replied casually.
"But their ultimate goal is probably immortality as well."
Someone next to Murataya spoke, her voice was not disguised, and they could tell it was Liz's voice at once.
Vermouth leaned back on the sofa, maintaining her elegance at all times, with a smile on her lips, "The goal is good, but it's a pity."
"So, these letters are from the organization called Death?"
Ignoring the words of Asti who was being controlled like a robot at the moment, Gin could be said to be the calmest one.
If you ignore the murderous intent in his eyes.
Murataya replied calmly, "Yes, the Möbius strip above obviously means that life never ends. As for why it is a snake, it is probably a so-called symbol, just like your black crow."
At the end, she spread her hands.
Belmode: "..."
Black is much better than your conspicuous white and gold color, and you are the kind of guy who never changes into black clothes at night.
Murataya: You ungraceful guys, how dare you say that? We have hidden strengths, do you have them?
Back to topic.
They opened the envelope and checked its contents.
The content is almost the same, except for the name the other party gave them.
Vermouth looked at the date and raised an eyebrow slightly, "You're inviting us now for something that's going to happen so long in the future?"
"It's unlikely that the other party just sent it out for fun. Maybe they will do something during this period of time." Murataya guessed.
Finally, she reminded him, "For Death, you are in the light and they are in the dark, so you better be careful."
The Black Organization: "..."
What does it mean that we are in the light and Death is in the dark? ?
"Alright, we'll try to find out what Death is doing. As for you guys, just try to find out if you can find another fragment of the Jie Wenti gem."
After saying that, the other party turned off the communication without any hesitation.
The safe house was suddenly plunged into an unusual silence;
