"Come into my room," General Lennard said.
From his tone, they know that he is very tired. Even the General's face showed a few more wrinkles. Maybe that's created only in a few days.
General Lennard's age seemed to have added several years in a few days too.
Adrien, Erend, and Billy followed behind General Lennard.
They exchanged meaningful glances with each other.
The three of them knew that reasoning would work.
Due to the problems that occurred on the cargo ship, the entire country must be preoccupied with various things.
Moreover, the General was a high-ranking officer in the military headquarters of the Republic of Ascaria. The burden he felt was heavier.
Especially when they can't find a clue about who was behind that incident at all.
The clues from the testimonies of the soldiers who survived the incident were not very useful.
Everything that happened on the ship looked like the plot of a fantasy or science fiction film.
Strange energy came and turned the soldiers into a bunch of creatures for those who had lost their minds.
On top of that, their weird way of ambushing.
According to all the survivors who testified, the soldiers who were infected by something strange came out of some kind of tear in space-time.
Then, the picture from the satellite was not much help.
No one knows the cause. But satellites can't record the ocean area where the incident occurred.
That of course made General Lennard frustrated. He was pressed from many directions.
President Julius of course also pressured him. In addition, the media also continues to chase him.
General Lennard had no idea who were the bastards spreading the word about the incident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut he or she has succeeded in giving him a heavy burden of thought.
That's why when Adrien said that they had the latest information about the incident, General Lennard immediately told them to come to his room to talk.
Moreover, the three of them were survivors of that incident.
If they said they had new information, that would immediately reassure the General.
As soon as they arrived at General Lennard's room, Erend immediately took out a bottle containing something that Aurdis had given him earlier.
"Close the door," General Lennard said without turning his head.
He continued to walk towards his seat in a hurried manner.
Billy immediately closed the door.
"Now," Adrien whispered to Erend.
General Lennard by now still had not turned towards them. Erend wasted no time and immediately shot toward his back.
He uncorked the bottle and immediately sprinkled its contents towards General Lennard.
As soon as Erend finished sprinkling its contents, General Lennard immediately froze in his place.
He was about to sit, but that sprinkle canceled his action.
Erend turned to Adrien and Billy who were watching with pounding chests.
"How is it?" Billy asked.
If so it doesn't work. Because Erend sprinkled it the wrong way, or because of some other variable. They screwed up really badly.
Erend didn't answer. He waited for General Lennard's reaction as he prepared to knock him out if that didn't work.
But General Lennard turned to them with blank eyes. It was as if his soul had disappeared somewhere. And leaving only a moving vessel.
"General?" Erend called with great doubts.
"Yes?" General Lennard answered with a blank look in his eyes.
Then Erend breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think it's working," said Erend.
After hearing that Adrien and Billy could heave a sigh of relief. Even their sighs could be heard very clearly.
"Let's quickly ask him where he did the experiment," Adrien said.
"General, show us where you did the Magic experiment," Erend said commandingly to the General.
Erend never thought he would talk to General Lennard like that.
However, now everything turned around.
General Lennard no longer has any power after being affected by the Magic that Aurdis gave him.
General Lennard immediately sat down in his chair and opened the computer.
"Brook, watch the door," Adrien ordered.
Billy answered with a nod.
Then he and Erend moved behind the General to take a look.
General Lennard opened his computer after that opened a hidden folder with a special password.
Out of curiosity - and thinking it might come in handy sometime in the future - Erend asked.
"What's your password, General?"
Adrien glanced at Erend. But he didn't say anything because he also felt that it was a good idea to ask that question.
"Write it down," Adrien added.
"It will be easier because there may be a combination of numbers and symbols," Adrien said to Erend.
So General Lennard proceeds to write down the password.
TH3J3st3r1010
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was the password he had written down on the paper.
"You're right, Captain," Erend said.
Adrien put the paper in his pocket after General Lennard finished writing it.
The special folder opens with a notification sound that looks like two glasses being smashed.
There, Erend and Adrien could see everything about the experiment.
There are videos, reports, and of course the data of everyone involved in it.
Erend and Adrien grinned.
"We got it," Adrien said.
Billy, who heard Adrien's words, smiled with relief at the door.
"Copy all the files, General," Erend said as he handed General Lennard a USB drive.
General Lennard obeyed and copied all the data.

General Lennard blinked a few times. He felt as if his consciousness had just been pulled out.
But now his consciousness had returned and he saw Adrien, Erend, and Billy sitting in front of him.
"You okay, sir?" Adrien asked with a face full of concern.
General Lennard frowned in confusion.
"Wh-what happened? Did something happen?" General Lennard asked.
"What do you mean, sir?" Adrien asked back with the same confused face.
General Lennard shook his head.
"Nevermind. So what did you guys want to tell me?"
General Lennard decided to ignore his confusion as he felt it was nothing important.
He had more important things to think about right now. That is what the three of them would say.
