On the street outside the house, the lights were bright and the voices of people were noisy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the sofa in the house, there are three bored people, Chikage, Araki and Takahashi.

All three pairs of eyes were glued to the TV, but their eyes were not focused on the TV program.

Chikage and Takahashi just sat quietly, occasionally exhaling a slightly heavier breath. Araki, on the other hand, was sitting on pins and needles, shaking his legs, sometimes leaning to this end, sometimes to that side.

"Smack. ”

A crisp blow suddenly sounded in the room, successfully drawing Chikage and Takahashi's gaze.

Araki finally couldn't hold it anymore, slapped his thigh hard, stood up and strode up in front of the sofa in distraught.

"Deputy Commander, why haven't they heard anything about them for so long?

Since October and Tokizaki went out, several of them have been waiting for their news in the Institute of Not Crazy, and this wait is two days.

Chikage was not in a hurry, but she didn't dare to take the initiative to contact them. If they've already infiltrated the enemy's lair, contacting them at this point would probably be a failure.

"We have nothing else to do but wait. ”

Hearing her words, Araki stood still in front of her, watching her stop talking. A pair of eyes rolled around a few times, as if they suddenly understood something, sat back in their seats, and then watched TV without saying a word.

Until bedtime, there was still no movement in October.

The faces of the three of them gradually showed a look of exhaustion and sleepiness, and then they said goodnight to each other and dispersed.

When Araki returned to his room, he fell asleep, and Takahashi, who was in the same room, soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the door of the research institute opened softly in the dark, and a black shadow crept out of the door, just backhand to cover the door and walk out of the courtyard.

"Araki. ”

There was a sudden thunderstorm above his head, which frightened him so much that he almost slipped on the soles of his feet and fell down the steps.

He staggered a few steps forward, turned around and looked up at the roof, wasn't it Chikage sitting on the ridge with his hands on his chest and looking down on him intently.

"Ah, Deputy Commander, what are you doing on the roof if you don't sleep so late?"

"Didn't you sleep too?"

"Uh, this, that...... I'm here to practice boxing, and I have to practice a few times a day before I can sleep, ahahaha......"

Under the light of the street lamps outside, Chikage could see Araki's wandering eyes left and right, who would believe the excuse he made to fool people.

She jumped down from above and walked in front of Araki, with a serious expression and a torch-like gaze, and asked in the tone of an interrogator, "Do you want to secretly save October by yourself?"

I thought that no one knew about the operation in the middle of the night, but I was caught.

The lie was easily exposed, and Araki didn't quibble, scratching his head and returning bluntly: "Ah, yes. Now that you know, Deputy Commander, don't stop me. Don't worry, I'm just going to see the situation, and I won't act rashly. ”

Thousand Shadows stared at his fearless appearance, and his face turned gentle.

"It's useless to stop you, just go, you won't be able to stay here with peace of mind, I'll go with you." ”

"Eh, deputy head of the regiment, don't you blame me for not acting unruly?"

"Remember first, and then punish when you go back at the end of the mission. Let's go, don't alarm the others. ”

After Chikage finished speaking, she walked quickly to the courtyard gate, and Araki followed behind, suddenly noticing a backpack on her shoulder.

He quickened his pace to catch up and whispered, "Deputy Commander, what are you carrying on your back?"

"Dry food, squatting always have to eat. ”

"Oh...... Also. ”

After the long tone expressed his approval of what Chikage said, Araki felt that something was wrong.

"You've already prepared the dry food, which means that you were actually going to go to them, but you just happened to meet me, didn't you? Haha, the deputy head of the regiment, you are so cunning, and you are pretending to come to arrest me. ”

"Uh......"

Chikage frowned and stopped, lowering her voice and trying her best to justify: "I knew from the living room that you had to act quietly, otherwise how could you give up on persuading me so easily. I don't feel comfortable going with you alone, so I decided to go with you. ”

"No quibbles, no quibbles, I know you're more anxious than me, hahaha......"

Araki grabbed Chikage's pigtails and laughed at her triumphantly.

After hearing this, Chikage turned to face him, tilted his head with one hand and smiled, "Araki, are you still going?"

The calm tone concealed a powerful threat.

Araki has basically followed her on missions since he joined the legion, so he knows her temperament very well, and knows that he should shut up and do things silently at this time.

"Go. ”

After answering neatly, he ran away in front of her.

――――――

After October and Tokizaki were sent to the Eastern Suburbs Prison, they were not imprisoned, but were forcibly asked to change all their clothes and put on civilian clothes prepared for them by the prison guards.

All of his belongings were confiscated, including October's necklace communicator and Tokizaki's button-type communicator.

This communicator is a portable communicator specially developed by the Divine Technology Bureau for the personnel of the Legion to go out on missions.

In addition to its small size, the most important thing is that it is used in a special way. To open and use this communicator, a small amount of divine power is required, so it cannot be used by ordinary people.

Communicators come in a variety of shapes, such as bracelets, necklaces, buttons, etc., and look no different from ordinary items when not in use, and are not easy to leak information even if they are accidentally lost.

Originally, they had hoped to infiltrate the enemy with the communicator, and then find something to contact Chikage in time. But the other side obviously did not give them such a chance, and it seems that they were bold and cautious in arresting people.

The only way to lose contact with the outside world is to take one step at a time.

After changing outfits, the two were quickly loaded into an escort car and taken to a secret place.

On the way, they were covered in black cloth bags, and even when they got out of the car and walked, they couldn't see where they were taken.

Only to hear the prison guards hand them over to another group of people, then to hear the sound of a door opening, they were asked to go in on their own, and then they were escorted around for ten minutes, as if they had finally reached their destination.

Their escorts untied them and removed their black cloth bags, unceremoniously pushing them into a dark room and locking them up.

The room was pitch black, and it could be said that you couldn't see your fingers. The two of them stayed inside and didn't know where they were, and they couldn't hear the sounds outside, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Qingtianmu, have we successfully entered the enemy base?"

Hearing Tokizaki's question, October came back to his senses from the sluggish state of being at a loss.

"It should be. I can't see anything, I don't have anything on my body, I'm completely isolated from the world. What are we going to do next? We can't even investigate if we're not here. ”

"Wait. Since they have captured us, they will definitely use us, and then they will improvise. ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

It was late at night, and the two of them had been busy all day during the day, and they were very tired at this time, and seeing that it was impossible to do anything for the time being, they each groped their way to a corner and sat down to rest.

After sleeping in a daze, I don't know how long, the door of the dark room suddenly opened, and a bright light came in from outside, and the two of them woke up suddenly.
