Chapter 8 - Chapter Nine: Laila and the Human Energy Key

One night, as Lux was contemplating in his room, there was a soft knock on the door. It was

Echo.

"We have new information about Laila," Echo said in a quiet voice, her eyes serious. "The

Shadow Organization moved her to another location. It seems they're interested in her for a

reason related to the Key."

Lux felt a surge of intense worry. "Where is she? Is she alright?"

"We don't know exactly where she is, but we know she's in great danger," Echo replied. "It

seems the Shadow Organization plans to use her in a project. A project related to the 'Energy

Key' you stole."

"What do you mean?" Lux asked, his voice slightly raised.

"Laila isn't just an ordinary girl, Lux," Echo said, her eyes holding a mysterious look. "She's

from a rare lineage, a lineage that possesses the ability to interact with the 'Energy Key's

power. She's another key, but this time, a human key."

Lux was stunned by this revelation. Laila... a human key? This meant she was more important

than he had imagined, and her presence in the Shadow's grasp meant a potential catastrophe.

"We have to find her," Lux said firmly, his eyes narrowed. "We have to save her."

"And that's what we'll do," Echo said. "But first, you must be ready. The Shadow Organization is

not an easy opponent at all. And the mission to rescue Laila will be the most dangerous you've

undertaken so far."
