The Magician of Sound

After sending the message, he and Evan came out with a serious expression, telling them not to talk about it.

On the other hand, they started going to the infirmary where Evan Young started healing the soldiers. Meanwhile, Kai was focusing his attention on the general and her assistant.

They did not have any weird talk or anything, so Kai was unsure which one was the terrorist. However, if the highest in command were the terrorist, this base would be screwed. Unfortunately, he did not have enough information to prove that she was not.

Kai scratched his head, trying to come up with a feasible plan but to no avail.

Michelle came to him, touching his head because he looked very serious. She smiled, "Don't overthink it. Rather than thinking something uncertain, just look around you and think from something certain."

Kai's body shook a bit before looking at Michelle with an empty stare. One second… Two seconds… Five seconds, he suddenly grabbed her hands, thinking she was the answer. "I have found the solution to my problem."

"Eh?" Michelle blinked a few times, confused. "What do you mean?"

He suddenly walked to her and pushed her to the wall before slamming his hand on the wall. He suddenly moved his hand right beside her cheek, making other people think they were doing something inappropriate.

"Ehm… Kai, I am happy about this, but I think we need to consider the time and place first." Michelle said with a low voice but did not push him away.

Hearing that voice, Ayaka turned her head and was shocked to see Kai doing something inappropriate.

However, Kai knew that this room was full of cameras and such. Afraid of them finding out, he did this. He simply whispered, "Get inside my shadow and go to Evan's Shadow. Remember to trust no one. Follow me, I will lead you to a place without surveillance."

Kai then held her hand and dragged her somewhere. Ayaka did not know what to do, looking left and right to seek help from Tasha. Surprisingly, Tasha already saw this but ignored them. She knew Kai would not do something like that in a place like this, so the only reason because he was planning something.

"Ehm… Sister Tasha, they…" Ayaka kept glancing at the place where they exited.

"Don't bother with them. Haiz, this is why I need to educate my brother." Tasha replied with a very unusual answer, making Ayaka confused. It looked like she was disappointed in Kai, but she would surely never do that. Because of this, Ayaka thought of another possibility.

Meanwhile, Kai and Michelle were going right under the stairs where there was no surveillance.

Creating a Sound Insulation Room, Kai quickly said. "We don't have time. Enter my shadow and go to Evan's shadow. Don't trust anyone and only appear at the last second."

Michelle did not say anything and nodded. She clasped her hands, making a small magic circle underneath her feet. "Shadow Walk."

She then came inside Kai's shadow, looking like she just took an elevator down. After that, Kai released his Sound Insulation Room and sighed.

After around twenty minutes, Kai then came out of that place and walked toward the infirmary again.

He had predicted that they would make a move very soon. Because in their respective room, the general and her assistant were looking at the footage. They never thought there was someone who would do something lewd to the famous Michelle Graham.

Because of that, they observed Kai more carefully, trying to search for more information from this guy. With this, they would think Michelle had gone away when they were busy observing Kai Carter.

Kai did not do anything other than watching from the side as soon as he arrived at the infirmary. Of course, Tasha played along by scolding him for what he did.

After around two hours, Kai saw Evan's face becoming pale. He walked toward him and tapped his shoulder. "Are you alright?"

Evan turned his head, never expecting Kai would talk to him. However, without anyone noticing, Kai's and Evan's shadows were connected because of this action. At this time, Michelle used her Shadow Walk again to move from Kai's shadow to Evan's shadow.

Tasha had expected this when she saw Kai approaching Evan, so she kept staring at the shadow. The moment she saw their shadow bulged a bit, she knew Michelle was there. She did not know Kai's plan but decided to trust him.

Evan did not feel a single thing when Michelle entered his shadow, so he only replied. "Yes. I am just a bit exhausted after continuously using my magic. There are only a hundred soldiers left, so I should be able to finish in thirty minutes.

"Is that so?" Kai nodded. "I will wait then."

Evan then started tending people's wounds again.

He already saw Evan's ability and could only say he was impressed. For people with shallow wounds, Evan simply covered it with a bubble of water, closing the injuries without any trace.

A few of them had deep wounds, needing the hospital's assistance, but just like before, the bubble started healing them.

If Kai needed to describe his power, his power was like the water tank in the story. The big water bubble was like the cylinder, containing the healing water.

He even wanted to invite him because of his power since if they were injured, Evan could heal them.

They continued to wait until he finished. Surprisingly, the moment he finished, the general came inside the room. "Good work."

Kai and the others immediately turned their heads, seeing her expression. Because of Michelle's disappearance, she needed to step up their plan.

She looked at Evan and the others, saying. "Good work for all of you. This is the key to your room."

What made the situation weird was the keys. There were only two keys. The first key was for Evan while the other key was in Kai's hand.

This was weird because normally, they should be separated with genders. Kai became more and more suspicious about her.

"Since you are a group, I think there should be no problem in sleeping together." The general explained her reasoning.

She clearly wanted to separate them. She thought since Michelle disappeared, it seemed she only needed to be wary against Michelle, not everyone else. As long as she separated them from Evan, they could launch their plan tonight.

Seeing this, Kai accepted the key gratefully. "Thank you, General."

"Nothing. You deserve rest, so you are done with your mission for today. You can rest until further notice." The general nodded. "Your room was in the third barrack."

Kai and the others nodded, walking away from the infirmary.

Kai and Evan exchanged looks, thinking the same thing. 'The general was suspicious.'

Luckily, they were in the same barrack despite having a considerable distance from each other's room. To avoid any suspicion, Kai did not go to Evan's room and left the two ladies in the room alone.

They bid goodbye to Evan before entering their room. Kai immediately observed their surroundings, searching if there was any camera or whatever. Ayaka and Tasha also helped him with that.

After around half an hour, they did not find a single observation device in their room. Inside the room, there were two bunk beds for four of them and a single desk together with a wardrobe.

"I don't find anything." Kai shook his head.

Ayaka and Tasha nodded, not finding anything either. Tasha finally asked, "So, is Michelle inside Evan Young's shadow?"

"Shadow?" Ayaka was confused a bit before she remembered Michelle's element. "Ah."

"She has not told you about this ability yet since she does not really want to use that ability…" Kai replied.

"Because she just wants to get inside your shadow, right? She is just a stalker." Tasha snorted.

"Well, it is really an uncomfortable technique since basically, she fuses with one's shadow, which means she experiences what the real body experienced. Experiencing something that should not be done or watching something that should not be seen." Kai shook his head helplessly. "This is something necessary, so I will do something for her after the mission."

"You are certainly right. Like experiencing a man relieving himself… this is why she does not want to stay inside other's shadow." Tasha rolled her eyes.

"Ahaha…" Ayaka could not say anything.

"Anyway, when the night comes, we will go to Santarem," Kai said to Tasha before turning to Ayaka. "As for you, if you hear a loud sound or anything, go to Evan Young's room and protect him."

Both of them nodded.

Kai then fell on his bed, trying to figure their situation out again. Even with his Extraordinary hearing, he could not find anything suspicious.

In the end, night came and it was the time for Kai and Tasha to go. He looked at Ayaka, handing her a paper containing two people's identities that he got from Evan. "This is the data for the general and her assistant. Don't trust anyone or at least fake your trust and never let your guard down. From my observation, these two are on opposite sides, unless you are sure which side they are on, just consider them as terrorists."

"I…" Ayaka was doubting if she could do it alone from here, considering Michelle was in Evan's shadow.

"Don't worry. If there is anything wrong, Michelle will help you." Kai nodded as he fixed his clothes, ready to go out. "Besides, we are not going for too long."

Tasha was also preparing herself.

"Then… Good luck." They then left with Tasha's teleportation.

At the same time, whether it was Ayaka, Evan, the general, or even the assistant, all of them had a serious expression, knowing it was the time to begin.
