Or perhaps, in Shamita’s case… Liella noticed the curiosity lingering on his handsome face and forcibly turned her head away. Jealousy was an unsightly emotion, especially in such a critical situation.9c3f2213759c744e

Jade, after some db9a6ace4c deliberation, chose the 0421af6cb3 more physically fit 23f49cf9ba one, and the 1c26821a4f burly man silently 06f283c128 nodded, contorting his 3e903ad0a0 body as much e0d1f5995b as possible to 723dc6b68c lie down in d44d9ce771 the cargo hold. Liella worried that 35fcdd1f85 it would be a2617e5a9f tough for him.afd3e9e82eef228c
At the same time, she loathed this situation. During the five days that Team 28 had stayed, she hadn’t been able to treat anyone with pure goodwill. There had been a precedent of being deceived, and even if she wanted to trust, she worried that her trust might harm Aslan and Dylan. Perhaps there was a way to extend a warmer hand, a way to survive together.e43f86a112a1e5cc

Thump. The cargo hold closed, and as planned, Jade took the driver’s seat, and Liella sat in the passenger seat. Aslan pressed the first-floor opening button on the wall and then got into the back seat behind Liella, closing the door. Literally, he was watching her back, so she only had to keep an eye on Jade on the left.d503e79c232e9c8c

The interior was much more, well, cluttered and complicated than Liella had expected. There were many buttons and equipment, and unlike ordinary cars, the front windshield was vertical instead of parabolic, making her feel like she was in the driver’s seat of a subway train.1ce976862dfba655
Her admiration was short-lived. With a whirring sound, the walls of the explorer began to open upward, and Liella felt her heart drop as she pulled out her knife. It was really going out. There was no turning back now. She cut Jade’s ropes, who was about to drive, and warned him nervously.b93e3c0f2ad2072c

Jade, who b4b1408ae7 was making e9fcac94cb light of a7dbe0d6ea the situation, b4a27f7b22 pleasantly rotated 58a34dd601 his freed 084ad5a8bc wrists and 35d751b228 immediately pressed 4442fb4139 the black 255c097a23 button next d5cf8beddb to the 520412030b steering wheel.f5845de0a331156b

As the button was pressed, the front and side windows began to be covered with a black film. Perhaps certain parts inside the car that she couldn’t see were also activating shield technology. As the view darkened, like during a car wash, a primal fear washed over her, and Liella took a light breath. Aslan turned on the interior lights from behind.128034737c08191f

In the deathly 4265188745 silence, Aslan commanded d01399bfd2 in a low d7404ae4b6 voice.

From the 628bc36b5b eyes of da655ff712 the skull f61e5a9e18 pressed against 5121277e57 the side 361d83af5c window, a a40d908160 few tentacles c08d0fe594 crawled out 9f71fb8778 like antennae, f245efbe64 groping the b93193a4c7 car body.
