Chapter 48:
Valkyria Squadron
Interstellar Mansion,Lothar Golden
Aria's world
8:54 PM
Right now I was in a common room in a mansion of unimaginable luxury, and among all the luxuries and the exquisite finish, I was throwing all possible books on the floor without any consideration in a desperate way, after looking for a while to somehow activate the secret door that was hidden in the bookcase, my patience ran out, so I took a small statue and hit the wall around it, in the new hole I found the cables that activated the mechanism and cut it. A strange sound was heard and then nothing happened, but when I checked the bookcase I could move it now, so I pushed it out of the way, finally revealing the stairs that led to the interior of the mansion. Without wasting time I took the gun out of my apron and went inside, I did not know what I could find in there, but most likely it is going to attack me, so I have to not hesitate and defend myself quickly.
I quickly went down the stone stairs until I come across something disturbing, It was a fairly large room, where there were cells everywhere, even on the floor, it was a prison. But that was the least of it, the strange thing was the unusual amount of dried blood that was everywhere, between the ground or the bars, almost the whole place was stained with red stains everywhere. This was a medieval prison, the place had all kinds of torture instruments, from whips and chains to the bloody iron maiden, what the hell is this place? They asked me to come for a doomsday computer, how can there be such a piece of technology in a hellish place like this?. But the strangest thing of all is that despite a large amount of blood that was in the place, there was no one, the place was empty, only I was standing in that place with a gun in hand. But I didn't have time to lose, according to Stella I don't have much time left and if they discover me now I will have to fight until I get out of here, I want to be hidden for as long as possible.
I decided to continue my journey into the prison, or rather the dungeon, the place was much bigger than I originally believed. But after a few minutes lost I quickly managed to find a corridor a little different from the rest, but also even more disturbing, Now the place still looked like the inside of a medieval castle, but now there were lights and machines everywhere, Machines connected to human parts, tubes with shredded parts of people inside, in some places there were hospital beds with blood in them. And the smell, the smell was unmistakable, it was the horrible smell of rotting corpses, it was really terrible. Whatever happens in this place, it won't be to save the world, that's for sure. Moving a little further I could see the source of the smell, it was a well, full of corpses, some seemed recent, others, others were practically bones with a little meat still attached, It is difficult to distinguish due to decomposition, but the number of girls who were dead was also worryingly high, at least most of what could be distinguished were young women. It was a terrifying sight, that I thought I would never again see something like this again. Suddenly a guard came out of a nearby door that he hadn't noticed before. This is bad, I have to do something and it must be now!"Sorry I'm the new housemaid"
"I got lost trying to find the brooms" I said to her while pointing my gun at her, It was the first excuse that crossed my mind
"How did you get here?" the girl asked again
"That does not matter now"
"Right now you have two options"
"The first is that you get out of my way"
"The other is that if you try something I will kill you"
"Which do you prefer?"
"You are not an employee of this mansion"
"Even less, I can't find any identification of you"
"No wait, there is an ID"
"Is it from the registration of a school in Japan?"
"However it is false"
"You really don't have any ID!"
"What are you?"
"What the hell?"
"How do you know that?"
"That's not even from here, that's from Earth!" I was so surprised that I started talking out loud
"The first time you appeared was during the battle of Oslo last year"
"After that, you showed up a couple more times but reports say you disappeared in the battle of Vienna"
"Then you came back out of nowhere around noon in the middle of Sumida City in Tokyo"
"I've never seen such an erratic person before"
"Could it be an error in my programming?"
This is getting ridiculous, that doll in front of me is dangerous, she managed to discover me in a matter of seconds, where is she getting all that information from?. The only thing she has seen of me is my face, she doesn't even know my name
"Your intuition is pretty good" I raised my hand that was holding the gun and I pointed at his head.
"But I am not forced to introduce myself and speak either"
"One moment!" She said surprised
"You killed guard Ponce Durant without hesitation"
"You are someone who is infiltrating here!"
"You are not affiliated with the I.S.C!"
"It is surprising that you have come this far despite not being working for them"
"This is good, it means that you are someone I can trust" while she said that, during that moment I thought I was seeing Nanami in front of me. This was almost the same as when she called me to her room in her castle the first time.
"We do not have time"
"We need to rescue her as soon as possible !!" She gently took my free hand
"What are you talking about?"
"rescue?"
"who?"
"My other me"
"Unit 2689"
"My last sister in operational status "
"She is being prepped in the testing room near here."
"If she fails the test it will be the end"
"They will destroy us both"
"You are someone who could get her out of there"
"Please rescue her, I beg you!" She started to push me towards the door that led to the exit.
"Wait a bit"
"I have other things to do"
"First I need to steal a supercomputer or that could destroy the Earth"
"After that, I will try to find out where your sister is"
"If you help me know where it is, I can help you"
"I also need to know what is happening here and who are you and your sister?"
" And where are the other prisoners?
"It is us, my sister she is going to activate the ICBM in retaliation for the tests with the other girls"
"No time to explain"
"The test will start at any time"
"After exiting this door take the hall to the left"
"It will be sealed by several floodgates, I will take care of opening them for you"
"You just run as fast as you can"
"Your weapon is 7.63 × 25mm Mauser ammunition"
"It will not have the penetration force necessary to take down the guard's armor"
"When you see the wooden door open it just a little and shoot at a height of between twenty or thirty centimeters"
"That should reduce the guard's fighting strength"
"After that finish it and stop testing any price"
"Take my sister out of the test station and go back to this room"
"After that, we will try to escape from this place!"
There was a high probability that what she was saying was just a trap to stop me. But it was also true that despite her stoic appearance, she did look slightly worried but that sister she had. Although it was much easier to just ignore her, I decided to help her even if she was a trap, because if she didn't do it and it turns out that she was telling the truth, I couldn't bear it. That and that in a way it reminded me a bit of Nanami and her way of acting, it was probably just my imagination, but even so I wanted to at least help if that would ease my nights a bit more.
"So are you going to help me?"
"All right" I said so honestly that it almost even seemed like a child had said it.
"This took a turn I didn't expect" I said in a way between sarcastically and stunned
"I thought this ends like the previous times that there was a girl in the middle of a strange place"
"so yes, you are going to help me!"
"I agree"
"I will give you support from here!"
"Please rescue her" she said nodding with a slight smile on her face
