As expected, it does not take long before that person calls again.
Lee, have you guys reached the transport pod I mentioned?
"Murray," or whatever you want to call yourself... Maybe you thought you did a good job mimicking him, but you could not fool me.
L-Lee, what are you talking about?! I'm your brother—don't you recognize me?
Then explain to me why I couldn't get past the signal blockade when I tried to reach Babylonia since we've gotten Huaxu's key, when you, who are apparently in Babylonia, can suddenly contact us?
It's... probably...
The first time I felt suspicious was when I mentioned the graviton detector. If you were him, you would've known it's impossible to send a response here.
Plus, we've analyzed the environmental noises in your call, and you weren't in Babylonia at all.
Tch... now that I've been unmasked...
Apart from the human, this should be my first time meeting the Graven Ravens, right?
Just trying to get you out of here safe and sound with the pod.
I'm guessing there's something else.
Hehe... Pretty clever, aren't you, "brother"?
You can see Lee clenching his jaw. If this were not a call, Lamia would have been shot multiple times already.
How about a deal, Commandant? Give me Huaxu's key, and I'll show you the way to the big guy there...
That you don't have to know... I'm not the one in a hurry here...
As if responding to Lamia's words, the roar from the Polyphage echos again.
What should we do, Commandant?
Not a good idea to hand it in now. We can't guarantee that she'll keep her words.
Is it possible to find her?
But where is she?
Given how strong the signal blockade is here and how well she knows our actions, I'm guessing she's just nearby.
We can use the environmental sounds we analyzed earlier to deduce where she is in this chasm.
Understood. Leave it to me!
