The Maid's Prank!
Chapter 1945 The Maid's Prank!
After discussing it with Ren, the two tacitly kept the information about the distant other side of time and space to themselves, and would inform the witch and Veros once the situation became clear.
Given the current state of war that has engulfed the entire galaxy, rashly informing the various factions of the prophet of the information would likely cause considerable chaos.
Where will the prophet who guided the Starsea civilization on its journey and brought about its prosperity hide in the first world he went to after leaving the Starsea?
Or perhaps the legacy, power, and other related information left behind by the prophets are enough to plunge the already war-torn Star Sea into uncontrollable chaos once again.
Therefore, let's keep this information buried deep in their hearts for now!
"What's wrong with these robots? Why did they suddenly stop?"
When He Ming and Lian left the hall and headed to the dining hall, they saw Asuka and Emperor Jiang Lihua fiddling with an intelligent robot that was standing still with its arms dangling.
It seems that a minor accident occurred while the intelligent robot was leading the way.
The cause of this little accident lies with He Ming and Lian.
"Ahem. Asuka, and Lord Tenshi, there was a minor issue with the central control system just now, and some of the intelligent robots have entered a maintenance shutdown state. I'm very sorry! I failed to notify you in advance and caused you inconvenience."
After Lian stepped forward and explained the reason, she also sent a signal to three intelligent robots that were on standby to come and send away the intelligent robot that was "shutting down for maintenance".
"No, it's nothing! We were just thinking of going to take a look over south of the city..."
Asuka waved her hand, indicating that it was alright.
Having been here for so long, she had seen these metal lumps shut down for maintenance before. It was just that this was the first time Emperor Jiang Lihua had seen them, and she was a little frightened.
"Lihua, you..."
Asuka reached out and tugged at Emperor Jiang Lihua's sleeve, only to find that her friend seemed to be in a daze.
Asuka blinked, looking curiously at Emperor Jiang Lihua's small face, and then followed Emperor Jiang Lihua's gaze.
The next second, Asuka instinctively widened her eyes, gasped, and quickly rubbed her eyes before staring at the scene again.
Immediately afterwards, Asuka closed her eyes, then opened them again, and with difficulty cast her gaze toward Ren.
"Master Lian..."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."
Lian raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly.
"This is the esteemed gentleman we know, Colonel Ming."
After the introduction, Ren looked at Asuka with a teasing expression.
"Well? Does Colonel Akira's appearance suit Miss Asuka's taste?"
"This...this is so perfect!"
Asuka blurted out something, then blushed and quickly waved her hand, pulling Emperor Jiang Lihua, who was staring blankly at He Ming, around.
"Huh? Asuka, what happened? Who was that just now...?"
The belatedly aware Emperor Jiang Lihua looked at her friend with a blank expression.
"Sigh. It seems I'd better wear a mask."
A cough was heard, and Asuka, without having time to explain to her friend, quickly turned around and called out.
"No! Don't wear a mask."
As soon as she spoke, Asuka saw two smiling faces watching her make a fool of herself.
"You, Master Lian, how could you be playing a trick on me!"
Asuka quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ren's arm, and shook it back and forth a few times.
"No. This is a necessary measure. Your mental strength is becoming increasingly powerful, and if you are not careful, it may affect those around you."
Lian said with a serious expression.
"You two must have felt that power just now, right?"
"Is that the reason?" Asuka clearly didn't believe Ren's explanation, and even openly looked He Ming's face up and down.
To be honest, this was the first time Asuka had seen the face behind Heming's mask since she accepted the order and became a member of the Punishment team.
Although he wasn't particularly handsome, his air of mystery made people want to investigate him closely.
Especially those eyes, which can easily make people lose their focus and become mesmerized.
Just as Asuka was somewhat lost in thought, the headband on He Ming's forehead unfolded, once again covering He Ming's face with a mask style that Asuka was very familiar with.
"You!! Colonel! This is wrong!!"
Asuka exclaimed in surprise and quickly called out.
"I'm sorry! Apart from the reason Lian mentioned, my face is a top secret of the Earth Federation. I cannot easily show it to others."
He Ming reached out and blocked Asuka's outstretched hand, speaking seriously.
"How could that be? It's just a face! How could it be a top secret of the Federal Army?"
Asuka exclaimed in disbelief.
"That's just how it is. Asuka, you've been with Punishment for so long, when have you ever seen me take off my mask?"
"Asuka, stop fooling around. Colonel Asuka must have his reasons for doing this."
As she gradually came to her senses, Emperor Jiang Lihua quickly stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Asuka, and began to explain why she was called Asuka.
"Lihua, you..."
Asuka was surprised that her friend was also on Heming's side. She glared at him angrily and then sighed.
"Forget it! You're such a cheapskate."
Asuka snorted, crossed her arms, glanced at He Ming, and then slightly raised her chin.
"When will it be decrypted?"
"The time has not come yet."
He Ming's vague answer immediately displeased Asuka.
"Liar! A complete liar!! Humph! Lihua, let's go!"
"Hey, wait! Asuka. I...I..."
Emperor Jiang Lihua seemed to have something to say to He Ming, but after seeing the fragrant figure of Ming Ri leaving without looking back, she quickly followed after him.
After watching the two girls leave, the maid's lips gradually curled up, and she sighed with joy.
"The way a young girl's heart fluttered when she first saw the dignified yet considerate superior remove his mask was truly captivating!"
Clearly, this was Lian's long-awaited little prank.
"Lian, you deliberately didn't remind me, didn't you?"
The long-lost feeling of relief from taking off the mask made He Ming forget that he would need to put the mask back on after leaving the hall. However, he never expected that the cunning maid would play a little trick on him.
The intelligent robot that was "shutting down for maintenance" was clearly also Lian's creation.
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because this city is safe and won't be spied on by the Ghost Faces? Or perhaps, I couldn't bear to see the adult suffering from the pain of being hidden behind a mask, unable to show his true face, without even a chance to catch his breath, so I unconsciously forgot to remind him to put his mask back on!"
"You... that's enough! Don't let it happen again."
He Ming was speechless for a moment, and finally shook his head.
"Hehe! You are so generous, sir! Then, please allow me to arrange your rest and dinner later!"
"In addition, my lord, Chabro has sent a message that the troops you need have arrived and the plan can be launched at any time."
