Arselan System: AI Controller
Chapter 051: Behind The Gorge

"He's missing!?" zagan was shocked. He really could not sense the existence of that Asir boy at all.

"What's!? Is he dead?" ask Ulu to panic.

"Hus! Where's possible?" Radu tried to think positively even though he was also anxious, "This is a high-level zarahian technique. Not many practitioners could master it at such a young age."

"Great!" Ulu even became amazed, "He really deserves to be Young Master Asir."

"What should we do now?" Zagan was trying to find a solution. Whatever happens, they have to protect Ats. Their mission would fail if the boy really died in the abyss.

"The waterfall" said Ulu lightly.

"What?" Zagan felt his hearing was a little troubled. Ulu repeated it once more with a nosy grin on his lips. "Water down!"

"Hi!" Zagan fell into the valley without full readiness. He also stared intently at Ulu who waved his hand casually, then turned away. Before he actually fell to the ground, the young man activated the zarahian technique.

His body melted in the air for a moment. Due to its low mass, its particles landed smoothly at the bottom of the abyss. He was reunited, but he still did not feel the existence of Ats at all.

"He's not at the bottom of the abyss" Zagan told friends with a set of wireless communications. His eyes swept in all directions. There are only leaves and branches of trees there.

"Hi, find the right one!" said Ulu from across the communication device with fun.

"You!" Zagan did not accept being ordered so by someone who carelessly pushed him into the abyss, "Here down! Help me find him!"

"He's down" Radu replied, "I pushed him just now. Try to find the young master below. I'll call the others."

"Eh?" Zagan blinked his eyes twice, "Thank you."

"Ouch!" ulu's body suddenly appeared not far from Zagan's position. He also cursed Rudi who pushed him just now. Though, previously he also pushed Zagan without the slightest guilt.

"Ck, quiet! Focus on finding the boy" Zagan said, asking Ulu to be serious.

"Hehe, I know," Ulu replied with a cry. They've been looking for Ats in the valley all day. Until the hot sun on their heads, they never found it.

"Shais ...!" hiss Ulu was annoyed, "Where is the boy?"

"You know, it's all your fault" Zagan was also upset. Hearing that, Ulu turned his head in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

"You can't read the mood," Zagan replied bluntly, "Ats is clearly troubled by your attitude."

"I—" Ulu can't argue. He reasoned, "I just want to be close to him."

"That's what bothered him" Zagan added firmly.

While Ulu and Zagan searched for him in the valley with great difficulty, Ats was walking leisurely on the opposite hill. He rested for a while before walking back. As expected, the trappers sent by Iskandar did not follow him anymore.

"Hah ... finally calmed down as well," Ats sighed lightly. He sat under a big tree.

The tree is very thick. The roots are large until they stick out to the ground. Because it is so big, the root can be used to hide, even shelter during heavy rain. Not only below, its upper roots also grow densely hanging on sturdy lush stems. It is one of the oldest trees on Reda Island.

As Ats was leisurely enjoying his solitude, a small plane suddenly flew low enough on it. His voice was so noisy that it made Ats feel disturbed. In fact, he just went to sleep.

"Hais ...," complained Ats with hissing in his mouth, "They've come. I don't need to go home, do I?"

"Right, I have no obligation to greet them," Ats said after thinking for a while, "I'm not Young Master Asir."

He also resumed his sleep. In this place, no one will be able to find him. He can rest here casually.

Well, totally. Should've. However, Arselan suddenly gave him a warning.

"Suspicious intelligence was detected" Arselan reported, "Izin took action."

"Wait!" Ats prevents. He also checked the two-dimensional map that Arselan showed in his eyes. There are some visible spots there. The two blue dots located in the valley are Ulu and Zagan. They are still far from their position. Temporary ....

"Ats!" a loud voice shocked Ats who was in focus, "I guess you're here."

"Anasiya?" Ats had guessed, the red dot on the two-dimensional map was his childhood friend.

"Well, you're big, yeah," the girl called Anasiya was amazed by Ats's performance today. Her full name is Anasiya Zivana. She is the daughter of one of the mayors in Reda Island.

"Hm, you too," Ats rose from his place, and rubbed his dusty clothes. Although it felt like a while, it seemed like he had slept for quite a while.

"I heard that you jumped into the abyss, so I knew right away that you were here," Anasiya said as she walked closer to Ats. The neatly hooded girl jumped from one big root to another big root. When he arrived near Ats, he also showed his smile.

"For a long time," said the girl in her soft voice, "You look even more handsome."

"Haha," Ats threw away his face. There was a faint red tinge on his face. "That's it, yeah."

Awkwardness strikes for a moment. Ats was confused as to how to behave to Anasiya. The two have not seen each other for a long time. The last time was when they were eleven or twelve years old. Clearly, he had to keep his distance from her.

"Hm?" Anasiya looked at Ats with an astonished look. A moment later, a nosy smile was painted on his lips, "You—"

"Shhhh!" Ats asks Anasiya to shut up suddenly. The mimic on the young man's face turned 180°, looking very seriously watching around. The next second, the young man's body melted, then disappeared from Anasiya's sight just like that.
