These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 89: Dungeon break (1)

As soon as I came out of the Explorer Association, the first thing that I did was look around for any form of transportation.

Though I knew that the chances were slim, I still had to find a way to get back to my neighbourhood.

I knew that it would be dangerous, but…my mother and brother were still at home.

If there was a dungeon break in our neighbourhood, there was no doubt that they would be caught up in it…

I just couldn’t leave this matter alone.

But since there was this large alarm, it meant that the buses and trains to my neighbourhood were completely shut down. At the same time, it wasn’t as if there were any cab drivers that would risk their lives to go near the dungeon break.

The last thought that was on my mind was…

"I have to steal a car."

Only before I was able to do that, there was a car that appeared in front of me.

Before I even had time to see who it was, the door opened and a voice said, "Get in."

I was surprised to find that it was Mo Yun and An Xue Yun who were sitting in the car, waiting for me to get in.

Seeing that I was looking at them with a strange look, An Xue Yun said, "What are you doing? Didn’t you want to get to the dungeon break as soon as possible? If you still want to go there, then get in already."

I came back to my senses after she said this and went into the door opened for me.

Before I was even able to sit down properly, Mo Yun had already stepped on the pedal and was speeding through the streets.

Though when he did, there was a light that appeared on the car that made people get out of our way.

I was surprised since I recognized what the light on the car was.

It was the special light was only used in emergencies by those authorized to do so. It was a special light that could only be used in matters of utmost urgency, such as vital dungeon breaks or other matters similar to that.

It shouldn’t have been something that the Explorer Association could have used…

As if she could guess what I was thinking, An Xue Yun said, "We also have the right to use this if we believe that we have someone that can help in these matters. It’s not a right that most people know about since there aren’t that many people that are qualified to have this right."

She looked right into my eyes to say, "I believe that you have the qualifications for this right."

I opened and closed my mouth a few times as I didn’t know what to say, but eventually I just simply said, "Thank you."

She gave me a nod in response before turning forward again.

But I could see that the tips of An Xue Yun’s ears were a bit red, almost as if she was embarrassed by this.

I decided not to say anything since I knew that she was putting her trust in me.

It wasn’t a good idea to tease the person that put her trust in me.

Mo Yun on the other hand chose this moment to speak.

"I’ve never driven to a dungeon break before, so you can say that this is a first for me. I can’t say that I’m not scared, but I’m certainly interested in seeing what this will be like."

His words were enough to relax the awkward atmosphere that filled the car.

But I still had to say, "It isn’t as if we’re going there to have fun."

Mo Yun didn’t mind this at all as he casually said, "Don’t worry, I know. I’ve been doing this for a while now, so I know exactly where to drop you off."

I gave a simple nod since I wasn’t that familiar with him, but based on our previous interaction, I could tell that he was quite the professional driver. So I would put my trust in him to get me where I needed to go.

After a few minutes, Mo Yun suddenly stopped the car.

I already recognized the area that we were in, it was a place that was very close to my neighbourhood.

After stopping, he pointed at the map and said, "This is as far as I can go, any further and we’ll be in the range of the dungeon break. So this is where you’ll have to get out and go on foot."

I gave a simple nod in response since I had already been expecting this.

But before I could leave the car, An Xue Yun suddenly reached out to grab me.

When I turned around to see what she wanted, I saw that she had an earring for me.

I was confused as I looked at this thing, but she explained, "This will allow you to remain in contact with us. It’s a special artifact that uses magic to allow for long range communication and tracking."

Seeing that I was still confused and even a bit wary of this thing, she added, "Did you really think that you would be able to make your way there on your own? If you remain in contact with us, we’ll be able to guide you and provide you with all the latest news from the officials. In a sense, you’ll be working with the Explorer Association officially to help quell this dungeon break."

I slowly nodded to show that I understood what she meant by this.

After quickly going through the pros and cons of this, I took the earring and clipped it to my ear.

"Anything else?" I asked An Xue Yun just in case.

She shook her head before biting her lip to say, "Be careful."

I once again gave a simple nod before turning around to open the door and headed out into the streets.
