Death… and me

Chapter 2652 Excuse



2652  Excuse

Everyone looked puzzled. “What guy? We got here on our own.”

Bunbun snorted in response. “Hmph! As if! This place is really far from the entrance you used and in a completely different direction from the tower. Why would you venture into a place like this? It is obvious someone told you about this place.”

Yet, Rean shook his head. “Nope, no one told us about this place. It’s just that we detected some weird readings with our equipment in this direction, so we came to see.” Of course, that was a lie.

Roan, Celis, and Kentucky looked at Rean. The guy was truly good with those excuses since he was usually the one who did the talks.

“Detected something with your… equipment?” Bunbun narrowed his eyes. “Let me see it.”

Rean nodded and took out his communication badge, the one he used in the war. Of course, it had no use in this place since no signal arrived inside the Wonderland. Nonetheless, it should be a piece of novelty for the Loporrits, who had never seen it before.

“What is this?” Bunbun tried to figure it out but it seemed to have no response whatsoever.

“It only works for its user,” Rean answered. “You can use it for communication, searching, and a bunch of other uses. It’s something I invented. Cool, right?” Rean then took out another communication badge, this one without an owner, which he threw to Bunbun. “Give it a try. Just use a drop of your blood on it and your Divine Sense. It will bound to you.”

Bunbun caught the badge and analyzed it, not finding anything dangerous. He did as Rean said and used a drop of his blood, followed by his Divine Sense. Sure enough, the badge recognized its new owner and showed all the options available inside… too bad they didn’t have much use here.

Nonetheless, Rean took the opportunity to call Bunbun’s badge. Badges could communicate with each other without the transmission towers as long as they were close enough, after all.

‘Can you hear me?’ Rean asked through the badge.

Bunbun was taken aback, but he quickly used his Divine Sense as described in the instructions. ‘I… can? What an ingenuous treasure.’ He had to admit it surprised him. Rean then returned to talk through his voice and not the badge. “There are many more options inside the badge, as you probably saw. I modified my own badge to interact with this world, and that’s when we found a strange signal coming from this place. We are here to verify it.”

Bunbun messed up with the options inside, but most of them didn’t work because they didn’t have a connection to the communication servers. Nonetheless, he could only accept that perhaps Rean was telling the truth. “Very well, I will believe no one told you about this place for now.”

Rean smiled and then turned around to leave with his group. “It’s good that we solved the misunderstanding, sir Loporrit. We are going to take our leave. Goodbye.”

Kentucky and Celis looked at Rean, puzzled. Wasn’t he going to ask to let them through? Roan, on the other hand, just silently snorted.

“Waaaaait…” Suddenly, Bunbun stopped them.

Rean faintly smiled and looked back. “Don’t worry, sir. We won’t tell anyone about this place. It is obvious it holds some importance for the Loporrits, and the senior Lotiri, Lila, and Lola helped us before. We owe your race that much for teaching us how to cultivate Chaos Laws and the entrance event.”

Indeed, Bunbun was going to tell them to not mention this place to others. He didn’t expect Rean to say that in his instead. Then, for a moment, he looked at Roan. Roan was a little far away since they didn’t enter the Ruins’ range. Yet, he was sure he felt a faint, familiar smell from him.

Finally, he sighed and walked out of the way. “Since you were not sent here by that man, I have no right to stop you from exploring the place. Those were the rules. This was just me being a little stubborn. Just try to not break things more than they already are.”

Rean pretended to be surprised. “Sir, is that okay?”

“Don’t make me talk twice, or I might ignore the rules and just kick you out,” Bunbun answered, a little annoyed.

Obviously, Rean’s group didn’t refuse and entered the ruins. Still, Kentucky and Celis couldn’t help but ask Rean through their Divine Senses. ‘How did you know he would let us take a look?’ They had absolutely no intention of forcing their way inside. Their group knows very well that no one can beat the Loporrits in this place, after all.

Rean shrugged his shoulder. ‘I didn’t. That was just a bet. Since we can’t force our way in, I can only appeal to the bunny’s good side. Well, I feel a little bad for fooling him about the communication badge.’

Just as their group passed by Bunbun’s side, Bunbun called them again. “You with the Black Hair, do I know you?”

Roan looked at him and shook his head. “The other Loporrits asked me the same thing. For some reason, I seem to have a familiar smell to your race. I don’t know why, though.”

Yet, to Bunbun, the smell was a lot more familiar than anyone else. The image of a Black-Furred Loporrit appeared in his mind, but looking at the human in front of him, he just shook his head. “Whatever.”

*Jump!*

Bunbun then landed on Roan’s shoulder. “I’ll go with you to make sure you won’t cause trouble.”

Rean and the others bitterly smiled. Yet, there was no way they could refuse this Loporrit. They had the feeling this Green-Furred Loporrit wasn’t any weaker than Lotiri himself.

‘What should we do?’ Rean asked Roan through their Soul Connection.

‘What else? We bring him with us. First of all, we don’t even know what to find here, so it doesn’t really matter at the moment,’ Roan answered. ReaD lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)(𝒆)lbin.c/o/m Only

Rean gave a slight nod, and they made their way deeper into the ruins.
