Chapter Twenty-Six: The Undercurrent of Chaos
"This house is not as luxurious as the king's dormitory, but it is quite qualified as a temporary palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Ignoring Nero, Mordred looked at the villa and said arrogantly.
"Mordred, that used to be my dormitory." Artoria corrected.
"Yes, Father." Mordred was perfunctory, but complained in her heart: "It's the queen mother, a stupid woman who always thinks of herself as a man." β
With that, Mordred ignored the crowd and went straight upstairs.
"Rebellious child." Artoria sighed, although she had some nostalgia for the betrayal at the beginning, but since she untied the knot, she didn't hate Mordred so much.
"You guys should find a house to live in by yourself first, and I'll go find out the information, I don't know if the situation has changed in the past two days." Lux, ignoring the pleading eyes of Song Hanhan, who was forced by Nero to learn to sing, changed into civilian clothes and went out.
On the way back, she saw the streets more sparsely populated than before, and she already felt that something was wrong.
In particular, there was a violent magic in the air, and she could clearly feel that this power was full of the desire to kill.
"What the hell is going on? Let's find Sima Yu to understand the situation first. β
At this time, Sima Yu was sitting in his office looking at a dozen documents, which recorded the information of all the personnel in the first district.
"Zhang Jiliang, commander-in-chief of the Second Army, was found dead at home at five o'clock this morning, his body was cut into thirty-two pieces by a sharp weapon, and the time of death was about three hours ago."
"Liu Dong, the commander of the Third Mixed Brigade of the Kyoto Garrison, was found dead in an abandoned bus at 18 o'clock yesterday, with 32 penetrating wounds in the abdomen, and the time of death was four hours ago."
"Hong Lin, commander-in-chief of the city defense army, in ......"
Sima Yu frowned, these people who were killed recently can be regarded as the pillars of the army, they all seem to be biased towards the center, but they died in a row within a few days, does this mean that there will be a big chaos in Kyoto?
"What happens if there is a coup d'Γ©tat?" Sima Yu rubbed his temples, if there is a force trying to control the Kyoto Fortress, the central government can't resist it, and then activate the defensive weapons on the city wall, the consequences are unimaginable.
The most important thing is that once the Otherworldly invaders take the opportunity to attack, it is only a matter of time before the Kyoto Fortress, where civil strife occurs, falls.
"We can't let that killer go on the loose anymore!" Sima Yu slammed the table, picked up the phone and called the herald of the spearhead unit, informing all the spearheads to assemble and prepare for a meeting.
And at this moment, Sima Yu suddenly heard a familiar voice sounding beside him.
"When did you become so impatient, I remember you were quite calm before."
Lux sat on the couch with her legs crossed, holding two apples in her hands.
"Here's one for you." Lux threw Sima Yu an apple, and she enjoyed the one in her hand.
"It's Kyoto, even if it's the end of the world, the supply of fruit hasn't been interrupted, and I haven't eaten it for a long time." Lux squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"Hehe, eat as much as you want." Sima Yu put the apple aside, he didn't have the heart to eat any apple now.
"Did you just come back?" Sima Yu said.
"Well, I was about to ask you, it seems that something terrible has happened." Lux ate quickly, and the apple had only one core left, so she threw away the apple core in her hand and asked Sima Yu with wide eyes.
"The sky is about to change, at least six leaders have died in three days, and now everyone is in danger." Sima Yu handed the list of deaths to Lux and said.
Lux took the list, glanced at it, sighed in surprise, and said, "It's true that they are all big officials, if they die like this, the army will be paralyzed." β
"That's not going to happen, there will be a deputy commander when the commander dies, and there will be a deputy division commander when the division commander dies, but it is unknown if the army will stand there in the end."
Lux casually threw the list on the table, and said indifferently: "Actually, I think that with the combat effectiveness of the current army soldiers, they are not even cannon fodder, and those black technologies are the ones who have some resistance." β
"I think I should continue with the Origin Activation Project, and strive to improve the survivability of the survivors in the fortress as soon as possible, and if the fortress can't hold on one day, at least I can still run."
"So, you're not going to care about this murderer?" Sima Yu looked at Lux with surprised eyes.
"I remember that in the past, if something like this happened, you were the most positive."
"It was before, and now it is now." Lux rolled her eyes.
"You see that I am weak and weak on the outside, and it is not good to fight and kill."
"Cut." Sima Yu laughed uncontrollably and said, "Then I can beat you?" β
"If I don't use my ability, I really won't be able to beat you." Lux spread her hands, after losing her magic power, she was like a knife that was broken by hair, but the blade was very fragile, and I have to say that the armor sent by Gilgamesh was indeed very timely.
"Really?" Sima Yuhu looked suspiciously at Lux's slender body hidden under the cloak, and nodded: "Then you should be careful." β
"Okay, I'm going to get on with my plan, see you later." With that, Lux turned and left.
Sima Yu shouted at the girl's back: "Pay attention to all the people you activate, if you find a dangerous person, solve it directly, don't trouble me!" β
"Got it!"
Lux's figure disappeared in front of Sima Yu's eyes as the voice fell.
Sima Yu took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a melancholy puff, the future was foggy, and there was no hope in sight.
"At least, let me work until the moment before I die." Sima Yu took a cigarette in his mouth and smiled.
Before a cigarette burned out, the phone rang on the desk in the room.
"Commander Sima, the team members have been assembled."
"Got it, I'll go right away." Sima Yu snuffed out his cigarette butt and put on his military uniform, which represented the rank of colonel still shining.
"Let's all go to District 1 and catch the murderer!"
......
Leaving the office, Lux sneaked to a corner near the garrison of the capital, bit her fingers, and began the second step of the plan - to help the garrison awaken to the origin.
Dark blue runes were drawn on the ground by Lux's slender fingers, and the indescribable power of origin permeated Lux's body.
The focused girl didn't notice that in a building not far away, a dark shadow was staring at her, saliva on the corner of her mouth.
"That's her...... Delicious ......"
Then the shadow suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared in a flash.
Kyoto Fortress may seem like a small chaos, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.
In the end times, there is no place without danger, and there is no place without anomalies.
