Chapter 11: Invader (3)
Episode 11. Invader (3)
“Oh! Cooperation!”
Plurititas clapped once and rubbed his hands together. (I had wondered countless times, but where did this name come from? Athens? But his British accent was perfect, so I couldn’t help but think about what kind of parents would give their child such a long and difficult name.) He mimicked Liam’s smile, spun around in his chair, and sat down.
“Alright. I like you, so I’ll listen.”
“Let’s get to the point. The recent headless corpses, I want to ask about them. You and the scholars of the End Star are knowledgeable in ‘that part,’ aren’t you?”
Suddenly, the atmosphere grew tense. Liam’s question seemed to have hit a nerve.
The mad scientist’s smile remained, but his eyes were fixed on Liam. They were cold. If a pair of blue eyes could bore holes, Liam Moore’s head would be as full of holes as Emmental cheese. Plurititas stroked his chin.
“Oh, are you asking about the mastermind?”
“Exactly.”
