Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 490 - Run into danger

"How did you deal with him?" ask Rei.
"With him?" Lucy has a confused face.
"I mean an evolver who's trying to attack you. What exactly is your relationship with the evolvers? Originally, you were trying to chase after the man who was with Andrich, then now.. You were also dealing with one of the evolvers? I'm sure you're not the London police trying to catch a fugitive who escaped from prison." Rei looked at Lucy and Aland suspiciously.
The riddles about Lucy and Aland are enough to irritate her for having to keep wondering about who they really are.
In the depths of his heart, Rei was completely convinced that Lucy and Aland were not policemen.
Lucy and Aland's face looked flat even though her heart was quite shocked because Rei turned out to have a stronger instinct than they had expected.
"Lookie, Lucy and I are looking for a location for the project we're working on. But inadvertently we met the man" explained Aland who tried to calm down and faced every question that Rei carefully asked.
"Then what about Lucy? The guy said he came to get Lucy. Who's Lucy?"
Lucy and Aland are getting stuck. They really did not expect it to be this easy for his identity to be questioned.
"Huft~" Lucy sighed softly.
"All right, I'll explain everything" Lucy muttered with a bowed face.
Aland and Rei spontaneously turned their heads towards the woman who had just spoken.
"Lucy it's me." murmured Lucy softly.
Aland rounded his eyes to hear Lucy's confession.
Rei showed a different response. He looks confused.
"My real name is Liana. But people in London call me Lucy. Then regarding that person, I don't know who he is either. But for sure, that guy's been following me for a year. And he kept trying to catch me. Many times I managed to escape, even until I finally arrived in Indonesia and met the man. Unexpectedly, he also turned out to find me here," explained Lucy at length.
Rei was silent trying to digest every sentence that jumped out of Lucy's mouth.
That means... Liana is also their target? Louis responded first with a surprised face.
Rei looked at the albino man, asking for an explanation.
What do you mean, Lou? ask Rei.
Look, mister. The one who was trying to catch Liana was an evolver, right? In that case, can't we draw the conclusion that Liana is also one of the prospective evolvers who try to catch them but continue to escape?
Oh. Aye! I get it, now. So that was the reason, he was trying to catch Liana? But...if Liana had been trying to chase after the man who had been trying to catch her, wouldn't it be the same as running towards danger?
Mister, right.
Rei stared alternately at Lucy and Aland.
"I understand now what the reason for that guy just kept chasing you. He's trying to catch you because you're one of the targets they're going to turn into evolvers like me, Elvina and William."
"What?" Aland jerks. Lucy, meanwhile, knew that before.
"I know" said Lucy.
"You know what?" Aland looked at his partner.
"Yes," he replied, nodding.
