Chapter 239 Planning!
For Shin's explanation, everyone nodded in approval. Aurora's and Emily's expressions also changed.
Right, this is not like before when they attacked Hyunjas. They are not just going to kill, but also to protect. It can't be achieved rashly.
Emily also felt like her words were irresponsible. But the guilt only appeared for a second. As her focus was again on the conversation.
"We have to act without alerting the other party and save the children before any fight starts," Elena said with a calm expression.
Seeing her like this, Shin nodded approvingly. Yes, this was the Elena he knows. Though a little cold but always calm and makes a proper judgement. He doesn't know what happened to her before that she was acting weirdly. Totally out of her character.
Shin didn't know that because of love, this girl's IQ level dropped drastically. Fortunately, because of the seriousness of the current situation, she recovered on time.
"Now the problem is how to plan this. First, we have to find the location of the facility where the experiments are going on. Second, we need to save the people who are being subjected to experiments. Third, we have to do this without alerting the other party. Or at least until those victims are safely rescued." Elena immediately pointed out all the things that need to be ensured while making this plan.
Hearing Elena's words, everyone thoughtfully looked in Alfred's direction. Without any clue, where can they even start the search?
Under their gazes, Alfred calmly pointed at the projection screen and said. "Although we don't know where the location is. I got information that will be helpful in this plan."
In the projection appeared a photo of a charitable trust.
"They are taking in orphans from the Polaris City demon incident."
As soon as this sentence left his mouth, the faces of Shin and the girls became ugly.
"Can't we just track them?" Emily asked.
Alfred shook his head and said, "They are using formations to hide their tracks."
Shin thought maybe with Alice's Soul Mark, the formation will be ineffective. But they need to leave a mark first.
Elena touched her chin and after pondering for a moment she asked, "Uncle, do you know where those children are being kept currently? Or did they already transport them?"
Alfred nodded his head and said, "I know where they are now. But once they start transporting them, they will surely use formations, and it will be difficult to track them."
Elena nodded in understanding, then said, "They are still collecting orphans. So probably they should move by tomorrow."
For Elena's evaluation, Alfred also nodded in approval because he also thought the same.
At this moment, Shin's words made both Alfred and Elena surprised. "If it's difficult to track them. I will just infiltrate them."
"But how? Shin you are not even a child, they could easily tell you apart."
"Yeah, Shin. Once you are caught, the whole plan will fail and they will become vigilant."
Alfred and Elena were doubtful about Shin's idea.
Although Aurora and Emily were the same and didn't understand why he will suggest that. They didn't say anything and waited for him to explain. Because until now he hasn't disappointed them. So they didn't think he would say such things foolishly.
Shin didn't bother explaining, just closed his eyes and activated his ability.
"Shape Shifter."
Under everyone's astonished eyes. Shin's body frame started deforming and shrinking in size a little. In front of them appeared a beauty with black hair and amethyst color eyes.
"W-What?" Elena looked at Shin with a horrified expression. No, it's not Shin. The person sitting in front of them was the same as herself.
Like a doppelgänger of herself. Another Elena with no absolute difference in appearance.
"So how is it?" Shin, who took Elena's form, asked in the same voice as her.
"This is amazing," Alfred mumbled while barely maintaining his composure.
Elena stood up from her seat and observe Shin closely. "There's no difference between us."
"I didn't think he could do something like this too. Isn't this great, lady Aurora? This way he can change into a teenage child and easily infiltrate without raising suspicions." Emily said with a look of amazement.
"Hmm." But Aurora, on the other hand, didn't respond. She just gave a slight nod and kept silent. Instead, her eyes were looking at Shin inexplicably.
When Emily saw Aurora's expression, a knowing grin appeared on her face. 'It seems Lady Aurora has also figured it out.' Regardless of what she thought, she kept up her act of being amazed. She decided to talk about this with Aurora later.
Aurora's eyes were staring at Shin, who was in Elena's form.
'Isn't this the same ability that man showed before who transformed into Alice? Why does Shin have this ability? How did he obtain it?'
There were many doubts in her mind, and even some guesses which she thought were outrageous.
'Could it be he can take another person's ability?'
'No, no way. This can't be. Something so heaven-defying shouldn't exist.'
Though Aurora thought it was ridiculous. But it didn't stop her from thinking of this possibility.
'But what if it's true? Shin could take another person's ability.'
Aurora gulped slightly and thought. 'If that is the case, it explains why he has so many different abilities.'
All those mysterious dots were finally connecting inside her mind. But then another question came to her. 'In that case, is he not after my ability too? Or does he not want to take it for me and he really wants our friendship?'
Aurora wanted answers to her doubts. But she knew now wasn't the time.
Shin noticed Aurora's change in expression and also knew the reason behind it. He knows she is smart enough to understand the clues. But for him, Emily's reaction was unexpected. 'Is this a deliberate act, or is she actually clueless?'
Whatever it may be, he didn't care. He wouldn't explain anything about his ability and they can make their own guesses.
'Now, I just want to know how you will react.' Looking at Aurora, Shin thought inwardly.
