The guest room on the second floor of "Sichuan Cicada Pavilion".

"In the name of the goddess of emptiness, please accept my request, O divine power of the Seven Rays, manifest thy body."

Kevin took off the star cup crest from his waist and faced Crutz as he lay on the bed. As he chanted, the seven colors of yellow, blue, red, green, black, gold, and silver on the coat of arms kept changing.

"The silver of wisdom, the obsidian of time - the principle of mutual growth, the same; The momentum of mutual restraint is manifested. Let the wedge buried in his heart be dissolved at this time."

"Ka~" accompanied by Kevin's sometimes low, sometimes high-pitched chant, Crutz let out a muffled roar, his whole body spasmed and twisted, and he sweated like pulp. Fortunately, the pain soon passed, and his condition gradually improved.

"It's alright, Krutz Senpai." Yaniras asked with concern, the teacher who Krutz had taken her to the path of the guerrillas, whom she had always respected.

"Well, it's okay," Crutz's voice was weak, but his face was much better, "I now remember a lot of things like I have lifted the fog in my heart. ”

It turned out that the secret stronghold of the Society was located northwest of the shores of Lake Valyria, where their research facilities were located. In order to hide the base, they used special black technology, which generated layers of dense fog whenever they were close to the surroundings, and also set up virtual images in the sky to prevent detection by regular cruising airships.

The Crutz team crossed the dense fog and successfully infiltrated the base not long after being discovered by the black technology, and was immediately ambushed by the "Executor" and was caught off guard. After the trio fought hard, Kurats and Karuna fell one after another, and only Crutz escaped to the dinghy with bruises, and then it was unknown until the dinghy drifted to the shore and was found by Estier and Kevin.

After emergency treatment, Crutz quickly woke up, but his memory was wrong, he couldn't remember any of the key questions, and he didn't know when he was hit.

At this time, Kevin proposed to let him try, he is a member of the "Star Cup Knights" belonging to the church, and he has a secret spell of the church for thousands of years, and he can cast spells on the symptoms, so there is the beginning of the scene.

The secret art of the church is not omnipotent, it can only target the memories that have been temporarily blocked, and if even the deep psychology is completely cannibalized, then it will be completely hopeless, such as Joshua, who can never return to the cheerful state of his childhood.

Moreover, this spell also has a certain risk of causing mental damage to the recipient. It turns out that this spell is to arouse and amplify the dark side of the human heart, that is, selfish desires to achieve the purpose of breaking through the blockade, and if the recipient is not strong-willed, it is likely to cause the opposite effect. Sure enough, the water of the church is very deep and muddy, and it is by no means as positive as it advertises.

Thinking about it, with a huge number of ancient relics in hand, it is more than enough to take out a few random pieces to destroy a small country. The former Grand Duchy of Northumbria, now an autonomous region, was destroyed by the powerful ancient relic "The Pile of Salt".

Of course, it's really great to have such a companion, with thick thighs and a good hug, especially if the next action needs to fight against hypnotic suggestion skills, Kevin's presence is even more indispensable.

Considering that the infiltration rescue belongs to the stealthy mobile category, it is really unwise for all the staff to rush in, not only is the target easy to startle, but it is also possible to be taken into a pot, and there is no one to report the news.

Therefore, this operation was led by the core of the team, Estiel, with Kevin, King, Agaté and other strong thugs as the first team, in addition to Yaniras, who knew Karuna and Kuraz best besides Crutz. Lixia and Rien, who are the best at stealth, are the second detachment to infiltrate the base in two batches. The rest of the men remained here to care for the wounded Crutz and relay information to the army, and the guerrillas were not arrogant enough to think that they alone could sweep the entire base.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the middle of the night, on the tranquil surface of Lake Valyria, the cold moonlight was reflected in it, swaying with the waves, and a small guide boat headed northwest with the five of Estelle's group. Two hundred centimeters behind them hung another dinghy with only two men on it.

It's been a few hours since dark, and according to the intelligence, it should be almost there. Sure enough, there were strange bursts of fog pouring out of the surroundings, the concentration of which was comparable to the fog that covered Loliente not long ago, which also indicated that everyone had officially entered the perimeter of the base.

With the compass in hand, Estelle always kept moving forward at a direction of forty-five degrees to the northwest corner, and Rien in the rear followed unhurriedly through perception.

Fortunately, the dense fog isolation zone was not wide, and after a short time, the boat broke through the dense fog, and the target of the trip, the lakeside research institute, was clearly visible. Following Krutz's instructions, the men quickly found the relatively secluded shoal and went ashore.

Not long after Estelle and his party left the shallows, two black shadows silently jumped out of the water, it was Rien and Lixia. They jumped into the water as soon as they left the dense fog, pushed the dinghy back into the fog belt, and relied on swimming to land. After disposing of the water stains on their clothes, the two escaped into the shadows and disappeared into the night without a sound.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside the Lakeside Institute, Lane and Lixia did not rush into the building, but hid in the shadows that the searchlights did not shine on, and took a closer look.

"Looks like they're already in the institute." Li En looked at the metal door on the side that was still lit with a green light, "I actually entered through the side door, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”

"Don't blame them, the outer walls of this place are covered in metal, slippery and hands-free, the windows are wide open, and the vents can't let people through." In a moment, Lixia had gained insight into the structure of the building, "There's no better way for them than to enter through the only open side door, just"

"It's just that there must be something strange in this, and the possibility of a trap is extremely high, isn't it?" Rien smiled darkly. "The door of this electronic lock can be easily unlocked with identity or fingerprint authentication, and there is no need to leave a side door at all. Esther may not be able to see it, but Kim and Agaté must be able to see it, but when it comes to the end, there is only one way forward. ”

"That Us"

"Entering through the door is the enemy and I am clear, if there is really any trap, with the urine nature of "Association", it will not help us if there is more."

"What do you mean?" Lixia vaguely guessed what Rien was thinking.

"Now that the secret base has been exposed, the people here have almost retreated, and the rest are estimated to leave soon, otherwise what awaits them will be the encirclement and suppression of the regular army." Li En calmly analyzed the situation, faintly revealing a different demeanor, "How to leave?" Only airships. The roof of the building must be the tarmac, and we will use the flying claws to go up and find a way to sneak into the airship, and then act when the time comes. ”

"It's just," Lixia looked worriedly at the side door, "in case the purpose of the trap is Estelle's life."

"It's unlikely, the enemy still wants to keep them to fish out Joshua, and the 'Dark Fang' hidden in the shadows is the most terrifying, so terrible that they have to be cautious." Li En's eyes were cold, "If they are really so frustrated, then the association will wait for our revenge, others can't do anything about them, I have!" ”

What Li En said was categorical, as long as he wanted to, the Phantom Flame Project had no chance of success, because he was the Initiator of the Ashes, and the Phantom Flame Project was an indispensable person.

Lixia took Riene's hand, the dark aura that worried him greatly.

Rien met her eyes, quickly returned to normal, and asked, "Have you mastered the pattern of searchlights?" ”

"Well, I've memorized it all, in five minutes there will be a minute's gap on the side of the guide tower, enough for us to climb to the top of the tower, and then find a way to get to the tarmac."

Li En closed his eyes and silently perceived, "There are a few guards on the roof, but I don't know if there are executors, and it is not difficult to hide my perception with their skills." ”

The executors are all masters who have reached the pinnacle in a certain field, and at this moment, the five executors of Liber, the extraordinary powerhouse of "Sword Emperor", are two realms higher than Lien; "Daohua Master" is unfathomable, and he can easily touch the side of Shera Ogua Agaté without being noticed before; "Thin Wolf" has practiced internal skills for many years, and it has been exhaustive to collect interest; "The Bell of Illusion" is a master of illusion, and he is the best at blinding people's senses; "Strange Thief Gentleman" has the word "Strange Thief" in its name, and he has not been caught stealing all over the world, which shows that the concealment kung fu is really good.

"They don't necessarily all be in the base, and even if they are, if they want to take down Estelle, they have to go to at least three." Lixia looked to the top, "The rest is on our own. ”

"If you can't beat it, run away." The teachings of a certain master of Guo Daxia are very applicable in any world.

"It's almost time, let's go."

The protection here is indeed very tight, but unfortunately you encounter a "silver" that is stronger than "Black Fang".
