After the police left, Lisha locked the door, returned to the office on the second floor, and started cleaning the bloodstains on the floor.
She had no intention of going back to her apartment tonight.
Before sending Sanbica away, she wanted to observe the reactions of the forces behind 'G2'.
In any case, the worst-case scenario is that she loses her career and quickly leaves the city.
With this expectation, selling off Sanbica directly could detach her from the situation. However, Lisha couldn't bring herself to do such a thing
"Sister Lisha, let me take care of it."
Moses arrived at the office entrance and saw Lisha cleaning up.
At his words, Lisha couldn't help but stop, the corners of her mouth curved, and she said with a smile: "No need."
As she said that, she looked up at the clock, and realized it was almost midnight...
"You've been training all day. Go rest early."
She turned to Moses.
"I haven't trained enough."
Moses smiled and released his Nen to control the shadow to manifest into a humanoid form.
The ability to conjure his shadow into a Nen beast has already been demonstrated in front of Lisha and the others, so there is naturally no need to keep it a secret.
Summoning the shadow, Moses then issued the command 'clean up the office' with his mind.
The object controlled by Nen can usually complete complex commands.
As the carrier of 'soul', the shadow figure is the top existence in this regard. It could nearly perfectly understand complex instructions and then flawlessly execute them.
After receiving the command, the shadow figure immediately walked into the office.
Under Lisha's slightly surprised gaze, it snatched the mop from her hand and started mopping the floor.
Watching the shadow cleaning the office like a robot, Lisha felt happy and relieved.
At this time.
Sanbica and Biscuit also returned to the office.
Lisha shifted her gaze towards Sanbica.
Facing Lisha's gaze, Sanbica instantly realized something.
"Can you… help me?"
She preemptively made the request.
Lisha remained calm when she heard this.
Before Sanbica spoke, Lisha's plan was to have Sanbica leave before dawn.
"I'm afraid not."
Facing Sanbica's request, Lisha refused without hesitation, then suggested: "But you can ask Biscuit to escort you back to the association."
Hearing Lisha's words, Sanbica's eyes lit up and she instinctively looked at Biscuit.
"Don't count on me."
Biscuit shrugged and calmly said: "I've already promised the organizers of tomorrow night's gem exchange to attend as an appraiser. I have prior commitments, and definitely can't leave."
"…"
The light in Sanbica's eyes slowly faded, and she stood there blankly, looking extremely helpless.
She needed to deliver the 'G2' samples to the association, and then rely on the Association's power to address the potential dangers posed by 'G2'.
This matter is very important to her. If it goes well, it may be possible to get rid of the 'G-Drug' that has harmed countless families.
Sanbica looks at this matter from her own perspective, so she believes that 'G2' is very important.
However, from Biscuit's perspective, 'G2' wouldn't make much of a splash, as drugs like it could never be legalized.
Therefore, once it appeared in society, it would inevitably be strictly prohibited by the world, and ultimately, it can only be circulated in the shady underground world.
In any case, for Biscuit, participating in tomorrow night's treasure gem exchange and pestering Moses are more important things than 'G2'.
Unable to rely on Lisha and Biscuit for help, Sanbica found herself in a helpless situation.
Her current physical condition is not good, but she has to leave Spice City as soon as possible, otherwise, she will really not be able to leave once the other party started moving.
"…"
Sanbica leaned against the wall next to the office door, bit her lip, and fell into silence.
In the current situation, she could only use Zetsu to restore her potential Aura as much as possible before dawn, and wait for her physical condition to improve slightly.
Only by ensuring the most basic mobility can she have the opportunity to leave Spice City.
Moses glanced at Sanbica, who appeared helpless, and then looked at Lisha, who seemed indifferent to her plea.
He was contemplating whether to step in and help Sanbica.
Perhaps it would waste a few days of training buff time, but it could also lead to a combat opportunity.
As for the risks…
He has never believed that good things would just fall from the sky. He always adhered to the principle that gains and risks coexisted.
Lisha noticed Moses's gaze.
Even without direct communication, Lisha sensed Moses's desire to help Sanbica from the look in his eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate.
From her standpoint, it's not that she doesn't want to help Sanbica. On the contrary, she sees the shadow of Cheadle in Sanbica, so she is actually very willing to help Sanbica. However, she can't leave Spice City now.
She also knew that Moses, who could deal with Buck, had the ability to help Sanbica, but she didn't want to see him taking unnecessary risks.
'I am becoming more and more unreasonable. If it were Master, she would definitely be delighted by Moses's decision...'
Lisha self-deprecatingly thought in her mind, then nodded slightly at Moses.
Seeing Lisha's approval, Moses turned to Sanbica.
"Miss Virus Hunter, right? Let me escort you to the Hunter Association in the next few days."
"Huh?"
Hearing Moses's words, Sanbica raised her head abruptly, and in her ink-black eyes, there seemed to be sparkling stars.
It was a light called hope, making her eyes exceptionally radiant.
"Don't look at me like that."
Moses calmly raised his index finger and said, "Before escorting you to the association, there are some ugly words I need to say upfront. First of all, I am not helping you for free. Secondly, and most importantly, I'll only do what I can."
"Um, thank you…"
Hearing Moses's condition, Sanbica naturally had no objection.
For her, the present situation required her to seize any opportunity, regardless of the circumstances.
Moses slowly avoided Sanbica's gaze.
'This is my first time...'
'Seeing such bright and pure eyes.'
'How did I not notice it earlier?'
Moses thought silently in his heart.
"I'll take on the task of escorting Sanbica to the association."
Biscuit raised her hand.
Moses turned to Biscuit, furrowing his brow: "Didn't you say you had something to attend to tomorrow?"
"Yes, I came all the way from a distant place to Spice City for the biennial gem exchange tomorrow. If I miss it, not only will I break my appointment with the organizers, but I'll also miss the only exchange event in two years. "
Sighing lightly, Biscuit's expression became serious, and she said earnestly: "However, compared to ignoring someone in need and facing condemnation from my conscience, missing an appointment is not that important."
"…"
Moses had no expression on his face and thought to himself: 'I'm an idiot if I believe your lies!'
Lisha and Sanbica looked at Biscuit, who suddenly changed her mind, with different expressions.
And so…
Moses and Biscuit took on the task of escorting Sanbica back to the Hunter Association.
They had to depart before dawn.
But before setting off, they could rest for at least two hours.
Taking advantage of the rest time, Moses finally had the chance to be alone, and began to add the Vow Effect to "Soul Echo".
