Chapter 40: The Failure of the Watch (Part II)

Overwatch Base, a prison with the highest level of authority on the fifth basement floor.

Black Lily was chained to the wall of one of the prisons with shackles on both hands and feet.

"Anna, you're here...... I'm just an ordinary human if I don't have sniper skills, but you guys are so cautious that you put me on this high-end torture instrument. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm between Black Lily's words.

"Of course, be cautious with what you say...... Who knows what else you have to do...... Emily. ”

"It's been a long time since I've heard that name...... It was when I was still living in this base. Now, my name is Black Lily. ”

"You...... Forget it, I have a few questions for you. ”

"Hello, but I'm not sure if I can answer," replied Black Lily, "I won't say anything about Blackclaw. ”

There is no doubt that the black lily has been stripped of most of its human feelings. Even when Anna came in at the beginning, Black Lily's ridicule of Anna was lukewarm, and people could only find a little personal feelings in it.

And this sentence is as bland as boiled water. Obviously, if it was something that Black Lily didn't think she should say, then she really wouldn't say it - it wouldn't even be useful to kill this guy.

"It's not that kind of thing. The information we received back then was that you, your husband, and Reinhardt's daughter went on a mission to a city, only to be completely destroyed by a super-large projection of the city scale...... But why are you still alive?"

"Oh, that thing...... It's not a secret, but it's okay to tell you. In the first place, I sent Jerha and Miss Wilheim (note: Reinhardt's surname is Wilheim) into the projection area. And I'm ...... Being outside the projection, you can naturally survive. ”

"You...... Why are you doing such a thing...... that's your husband'......."

"You know, Anna, I've been emotionless for a long time. Even when I was sharing a bed with my husband, I couldn't feel even a trace of human affection...... But that day was different. That day I regained my sense of being human...... By the way, Anna, does your right eye still hurt?"

There was no hint of sarcasm, but it sounded like she really cared about Anna.

"Cut...... Ever since you hit me in the eye for most of the battlefield, I've changed it to a fake one, and I'm aiming with my left eye now," Anna replied, "I didn't even expect it to be you...... Was there a blackclaw at that time?"

"No, it was earlier than that. However, I can't tell you exactly when. ”

"Cut...... He's really an emotionless guy. It's a good thing Andy can't see you now, that kid has always been proud of you and Jaha. ”

"Andy...... my son...... So he's with you. ”

Anna leaned against the wall and glanced at the black lily.

"People say that tigers don't eat their children...... Emily, I don't know what happened to you, but ...... Don't you even have feelings for your own son?"

"Nope. ”

Black Lily replied neatly.

"Cut...... Can't ask anything...... Let's go. At least one thing can be determined......"

That is, even if Emily is found...... Reinhardt's daughter and Jeha are unlikely to survive. The two of them have fallen victim to the collapse of space, and Emily is the only one left alive......

"Chief Morrison asked me to inform you that the team preparing to rescue Zhou Yuan has been decided, so let you arrive as soon as possible. ”

Athena's voice rang in Anna's senpai's phone at this time.

"Athena...... Okay, I got it, I'll go right away. ”

Since it is not a stealth operation, you can assemble directly at Exit 1.

This time, the selected rescue team consisted of a total of 10 people. In addition to Anna and Morrison, the other eight are Mikoto Misaka, Reinhardt, Hunter, Charya, Xiaomei, Lucio, Zenyata, and Song Hana.

Naturally, in addition to these ten people, Kirito and Asuna, who were nominally Anna's bodyguards, also followed the team.

The members of Overwatch, who are slightly older than the others, are almost all on the battlefield except for Tobiang and Winston, who are less combative, and Reyes and Ziegler, who are undergoing surgery.

"So...... The next place to go is the Gilgamesh Exclusion Zone. This area is under the control of Gilgamesh, the most powerful projection known to date, and you must know what this means. ”

Morrison, as always, stood on the high platform and said loudly before the formation.

"However, one of our members, a member named Zhou Yuan, is there. He hadn't been on the job for long, just three months, but in just three months, he had made two important contributions to the battle with Blackclaw, and had also participated in Operation Tranquility Week. Regrettably, Zhou Yuan was arrested during the Tranquility Week. So, now we're going to save him. Do you have any opinions?"

"Nope!"

"Alright, let's go!"

At the same time, Zhou Yuan's spiritual space was inside the Kaijia Temple.

Zhou Yuan had already been in the Kaija Temple for twenty-nine minutes of trial, and there was only the last minute left. And Zhou Yuan's ability to leave the remnant armor ...... You can only use it for another thirty seconds.

In other words, this meant that in the last thirty seconds, Zhou Yuan had to rely entirely on his instincts and luck to dodge the attack of the Kaijia Temple.

Soon, thirty seconds passed.

"Damn...... Fight!"

Zhou Yuan gritted his teeth, and ran forward at full speed the moment the Afterimage Armor ability on his body was lifted.

Get out of the way!

The first attack after disarming the ability did not directly send Zhou Yuan back to the original position.

"Cut...... I can't even get over this kind of thing, and I'm useless, right......"

"Who?"

Zhou Yuan, who had lost his five senses, heard the voice inexplicably.

"I really can't help it...... If you keep running, you'll die, and I'll die too...... I'm going to have to help you. ”
