Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/Chapter 140: A Complicated Plot

"Wayne Peng and his team got on the plane successfully, right? Now we just wait for the results of this mission!"

General Lee let out a deep sigh. Seeing him sit down in his office chair, looking tired, Adrian and I couldn't help but look at each other. We were about to leave with Cyra when we opened the door and found someone standing there.

Looking at the name tag, it was Reed from World 7! She wasn't with the other Reeds talking about deep research topics. Her being here probably meant something special.

"I think something's not right! Our world's Feliciana might have been wrongly accused!" she said, suddenly grabbing my arm and speaking seriously.

Things were getting complicated. Someone was speaking up for a dead person! Cyra, standing nearby, didn't want to criticize what World 7 Feliciana did before. She just kept trying to kindly persuade Reed from World 7.

"I'm not just talking nonsense. You're all from the same world, so you should know her personality well, right? Almost everyone in this base knows what your Feliciana is like! Don't tell me you came here just to ask us to kill World 11 Feliciana for revenge? That doesn't seem right. Lord teaches us to be kind. We should at least give people a chance to change, right?"

"It's exactly because I know very well what kind of person our world's Feliciana is that I came to find you! I'm not trying to do anything to World 11 Feliciana. I want to tell you there's another killer behind all this!"

But Reed from World 7 didn't really want to listen to Cyra. She knew we "outsiders" weren't the ones who could really make decisions. She stepped into the room and explained directly to General Lee.

"I know our world's Feliciana usually acts a bit... wild! But I know very well that when it comes to relationships, she always believes in mutual consent. She would never force or trick anyone, let alone do something as crazy as pretending to be someone else!"

"Moreover, World 11 Feliciana has eight wings, which is a whole level higher than her. You should understand this well, being the same person! If it were you, would you easily risk messing with someone stronger than you?"

Those last few sentences were clearly meant for me. She said all this in one breath, seeming a bit emotional. It's rare to see this kind of expression on Reed's face. This unwillingness to back down is a bit similar to the Reed from my own world.

"Of course I wouldn't!"

I had to admit that Reed from World 7 seemed to make some sense. I nodded, agreeing with her analysis.

But then again, since it's Feliciana from a parallel world, there must be some differences in personality between us! So even if Reed from World 7 thought she had good reasons, I still shook my head.

"But unfortunately, we're not the same person. Actually, all the 'me' from each parallel world should be considered different people. So how I think doesn't mean World 7 Feliciana thinks the same way!"

"Of course there's a point! I have enough reasons to suspect that our world's Feliciana was set up. If we don't fully understand the truth of this whole thing, it will only let the real mastermind behind this get away! This won't just make the base unstable, but as a friend, I also have a duty to clear our Feliciana's name."

Reed from World 7 still insisted very firmly on her request. We could only turn our eyes to General Lee, who was still sitting in his office chair.

"Since you're so insistent, do you have any solid evidence to prove what you just said?"

General Lee stayed quiet for a while, looking down and thinking, before he finally spoke. He really didn't want to deal with this troublesome matter, but he still patiently asked her.
