Chaisi had always been lucky, but catching Ashley in the final moments before the Nest Communication Network collapsed wasn't purely a matter of luck.
"Let's split up and search carefully again."
As everything neared its end and Chief Ashley was still nowhere to be found, Jin Xueli finally couldn't hold back any longer. "There's not much time left," she proposed. "If I find her, I'll lock her up and come get you."
Chaisi knew she was looking for a chance to leave.
'Perhaps her "lifesaving measure" is too precious to carry on her. That would mean Jin Xueli has to leave here alone to use it without anyone noticing. Maybe it's hidden somewhere in the Nest—'
'So what?'
Chaisi grunted his assent.
He didn't even turn his head as Jin Xueli scurried away as if making an escape.
'She and whatever she's hidden aren't important right now.'
