Da da da--
Da da.
boom!
"An!" Mei Ke suddenly opened the door and saw An Hao sitting upright on the bed, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "You finally woke up!"
Mei Ke stepped forward and hugged An.
"Just wake up, just wake up, brat..."
Mei Ke seemed to have finally let go of the stone in her heart, her body suddenly relaxed and she almost fell down. Fortunately, An noticed it in time and helped her sister.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." An said guiltily, looking at her sister whose face was exhausted and dripping with sweat.
Mei Ke, who was supported and sat on the edge of the bed, took a few breaths and poked An's head with a finger.
"You still know that we will be worried?!" Meiko said angrily, noticing that Miku was sleeping next to her, her voice became softer, "Then you should be careful and don't let yourself get hurt."
"I know you are trying to protect Miku, but aren't you usually very clever? You are as flexible as a monkey, why can't you hug Miku and get out of the way? It must be that you were distracted for some reason and didn't react in time! "
"Forget it if it's a normal murder weapon. It doesn't matter if you try to get injured. We have a lot of time to take care of you and let you heal your injuries. But what should we do if it's poisoned?"
"Our group has been traveling around for a long time, so we know some simple pharmacological knowledge, but when it comes to complex poisons, none of us know anything about it!"
"If Miss Xiaoyue hadn't been here, something would have really happened to you!"
Mei Ke couldn't get angry after complaining, so she poked An's head again. Concerned that he was sick, Mei didn't use much force.
An had no idea of refuting and proving herself, and she bowed her head and accepted the reprimand humbly.
Meike suddenly sighed and raised her hand to touch An's hair: "Forget it, just don't worry, you'll be fine. Does the wound still hurt?"
A smile appeared on his face, and An Lao shook his head honestly.
"Why are you laughing? Why don't you hurt yourself to death!" Meiko snorted coldly, and her eyebrows softened when she saw the sleeping Miku. "She has taken care of you day and night these past few days, and she has never closed her eyes. Seeing that she can fall asleep makes me feel relieved."
"You are really lucky to have met Miku after a lifetime of accumulation." After wiping the sweat from her head and seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Meiko said frivolously, "If you two quarrel in the future, I will I have no hesitation in siding with Miku, do you have any objection?"
An laughed: "Yeah."
"I'm sorry you don't dare to argue with her."
He put his two hands behind his back, almost pressing on An's legs. Meiko tilted her head back and calmed her breathing.
After Shaye went out specifically to tell them the news about An's awakening, she ran all the way back. The speed was so fast that she left the others behind, but it also made her very tired.
In the past few days, the safety of her younger brother has been on her mind. Although she has done a lot, she has not done well. Now that she is relaxed and coupled with the crazy running just now, Mei Ke feels that her lungs are about to explode and her mouth is so dry.
Xiaoyue handed over a glass of water at the right time.
"Ah, thank you, thank you." Mei Ke didn't dare to hold back for a moment, and took a few sips, showing a comfortable expression, "Ha - I'm alive."
The corners of Xiaoyue's mouth moved slightly, as if she was smiling, while Hutto's was more obvious.
The previous interaction between Meiko and An made Leonhardt and Liliana look a little strange, but now they also smiled.
Mei Ke's curiosity and sassiness are evident.
Da da da da——
There was a series of running sounds in the corridor.
Looking at the door of the room, people who were exploring outside poured in one after another. Judging from their appearance, they all ran back.
"Sister Miko, I understand your feelings, but you must have run too fast." Otoru held on to the threshold and panted.
The others were in better condition and their breathing was relatively stable, but there were drops of sweat on their foreheads.
"Uh, sorry, sorry, I got a little excited." Mei Ke touched her neck and apologized awkwardly.
No one complains about Meiko anymore, just like Yinliu said, everyone understands. Their eyes followed Mei Ke and saw An waking up behind her, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It'll be fine if you wake up." Hairen wiped his sweat and said exactly the same thing as Meiko.
Bai stroked his chest and said with a smile, "I'm relieved it's okay."
Liu Ge took a few steps forward with doubts on his face, and then noticed Miku next to An, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. She looked at An's wound, then turned to her face, and said, "It seems that he is recovering well. How do you feel?"
"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine when he wakes up." Mei Ke pulled Liu Ge to sit next to her, "Come on, have a rest."
Otoru flew to the bedside, swung his legs and said, "An, get well soon, I'm still waiting for your cooking."
"Don't make trouble, just tell her if you care about An's health. What do you think of Mr. Hutto?"
After saying a scolding, Jerry looked at Xiaoyue.
After hesitating for a while, he said: "Miss Xiaoyue, if you have time, can I ask you for advice?"
Xiaoyue turned around and immediately understood what Jerry meant from his expression. She nodded and said, "Of course, this is my honor."
"That's great. This way, even if someone in the group is injured or sick, I'll be able to deal with it." Jerry clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice before reacting and bowing to Xiao Yue to thank him, "Thank you for your generosity. "
Xiaoyue quickly returned the greeting and said: "No, it's just a small skill."
Tiny skills...
Jerry was speechless for a moment.
Leonhardt and Liliana looked at the theater troupe with some envy.
Shirley walked in from the door with tea and distributed it to everyone one by one.
After everyone quenched their thirst and rested for a while, Ann looked at her companions in the troupe under the signal from Hutto's eyes.
"Everyone, I have something to discuss with you."
When An spoke, everyone looked at him.
"What did you say?" Mei Ke, who knew her brother's temperament well, frowned subconsciously, "As for the news about the assassin, the investigation team has not found any conclusive evidence yet. You recover from your injuries first, and we will investigate together after you recover. Don't worry, We will definitely catch the man behind the scenes and make him pay the price he deserves!"
She believed that An was planning to join the investigation team regardless of her injuries to find the criminals who were harmful to them.
In Mei Ke's eyes, her brother could definitely do such a thing.
However, Ann went further than she imagined in investigating the mastermind behind the incident.
"I already have an idea of the mastermind behind the attack, and the next step is to deal with them."
"What, you already have an idea?" Mei Ke stood up immediately.
Others who did not participate in the discussion were equally stunned.
An nodded seriously: "This is a conclusion reached after integrating the information from Ling, Lian, Miss Shinoyuki, and Mr. Hutto."
Mei Ke was speechless, scratching her hair irritably, and then said in frustration: "What have we been doing these past few days..."
When An wanted to comfort her, she saw Mei Ke suddenly wave her hand.
"That's all, your kid's brain is not as smart as it used to be. I can't get over it. Of course it's best to have an eyebrow..." Mei Ke rubbed her eyes, her face darkened, and she asked An, "Yes Who is targeting us?”
against……
Ann looked at her sister.
It seems that she also noticed that the two attacks on the theater troupe had something in common.
An cheered up and told his companions about the previous discussion...
…
Mei Ke's expression was no longer as gloomy as before. After An finished telling everything, she even looked expressionless.
"...Faced with an imperial minister who has the ability to start a war, why are you acting as bait?" Meiko asked An, "You are my brother, we are just ordinary people..."
Liliana wanted to say something, but Leonhart blocked her.
An was stunned.
Doubts about Lecco Ampelus, doubts about Liliana's attitude, doubts about myself... these things came to mind one by one.
An couldn't answer Meiko's question for a while.
Facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, the members of the troupe showed no fear. Everyone just looked at An, a little worried.
With everyone's expressions imprinted in her eyes, An raised her head and looked at Meiko.
"Even ordinary people, or rather, because of this..." An raised her lips, "To borrow a line from a play we performed:
As a human being, I don’t look forward to any war. I don’t want everyone around me and everyone I love to suffer so much. Therefore, I will try my best to prevent war and prevent suffering! "
This is a play based on the regent Lecco, written by an imperial playwright. Because of the brilliance of his writing and the reputation of the Prince Regent, the play became a cult favorite within the empire and also enjoyed worldwide fame.
The theater troupe was in the imperial capital at the time and performed the play at the request of the empire's upper echelons. The line that An is speaking now belongs to Lecco in the play.
He quoted this passage, which surprised everyone.
"As a human being...?" Mei Ke murmured, showing a helpless look, "You are really, I am convinced by you."
Saying such words, Mei Ke had a proud smile on her face.
"Now that it's come to this..." Mei Ke sat back on the edge of the bed and crossed her arms: "Then there's no need to discuss it, let's go together."
"Yeah." An responded softly without any surprise.
I won't let anything happen to you.
An looked sideways at his companions. There was no fear or fear on everyone's face, only the "relief" that he was worried about just now and "waiting for his injury to recover."
"Great, I can go to the Imperial Capital again!"
"Are you going with Miss Shinozuki and the others?"
"Yes, come with us, even they will protect everyone."
"I'll do my best."
"What should I prepare?"
"Is there anything I should pay attention to here?"
With a smile on her face, An felt her hand being touched. When she looked back, she saw that it was Miku who was sleeping and gently grabbed her.
On the side, Hutto and Xiaoyue just stood there, giving people a sense of security.
Ann's thoughts changed somewhat.
No, it should be...
Nothing will happen to us!
You see, the people here are so good, what is there that can't be overcome?
