"So you guys are evolvers?" Nils still had no idea what he was up against.
"Yes, as you can see. But it's just me, Elvina and William. While Liana and Aland are just ordinary people who know about our strength."
"I really didn't think you were an evolver. We've been living together for months, and I just found out that you have powers. Quickly, you suddenly appear in a state of memory loss. A teenager with no identity, I think everything's clear now."
"I didn't expect either. I only found out I had powers after I met Elvina and William. Besides, I didn't expect that you were an evolver just like us."
"That's because during my stay together, I always tried to hide my strength from you. I thought you were a normal human being who shouldn't be involved in my business. And so I hid my strength. But it seems that it is no longer necessary."
"Yes, you're right. There's nothing we need to hide anymore."
"But, is your coming to Tarakan actually to escape from it?" Nils switched the conversation. He turned to Wyman who was now bound by the mouth of Lucy.
"No. We're going to Tarakan for other business."
"Other routes?"
"My love was kidnapped. And again, the people who kidnapped him were two evolvers named Melinda and Andrich. That man also kidnapped Liana and Aland's London co-workers who went missing a year ago."
"What's? Melinda and Andrich?"
"Do you know them?" ask Elvina.
"They are confidants of masters and professors."
"Yes, I know. But you don't have to worry, because I'm not on their side."
"What did he say?" ask Lucy to Rei. Rei explained what Nils said in English.
"How can we believe it?" the question was then after Rei explained it.
Nils turned his focus to the blond woman.
"Actually a while ago I was helping one of my friends. He was also an evolver, but had the privilege of controlling his consciousness completely. I helped him escape Indonesia to Norway. He becomes a fugitive professor after being caught trying to create an antidote serum to fight evolgesysv-03. He tried hard to bring the evolvers back like pure humans."
"What's? Who her? Did he manage to make the antidote?" elvina asked with high curiosity.
"I don't know how she's doing, because I had to limit communication with her so she wouldn't be easy to track down. But I'm sure he made the serum. My best friend's name is Derek."
"Derek?"
"Yes. He's been my friend ever since I walked into the lab. We even went out at the same time. I was close to him, and I helped him a lot. Besides, I was entrusted by her brother to make sure she was safe so that the professor would not be aware of the advantages."
"He's got a sister?" ask Elvina. Nils nodded slowly.
"His brother is also an evolver. But he's an evolver guard, and his name is Joe."
"Joe?!" Rei, Elvina and William were shocked upon hearing what Nils had just said.
Nils blinked his eyes. He really did not expect that their reaction would be so shocked.
