In the department building of the Support Division, Ling sat in front of the terminal of the Support Section as if no one was around, and the sound of crackling keyboards was endless. All kinds of information boxes on the screen popped up and disappeared quickly, as if Ling was investigating something, and there were words in her mouth: "The vehicle from an hour ago, the location...... Harbour Area ......"

Lloyd, who hurried to catch up, could only admire this child from the bottom of his heart. There is a speed gap of about half a minute between him and Ling, and in half a minute, can you open the database to this extent?

Lloyd didn't know, but he did know that the information on the vehicle was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation, and the Support Section had no authority to investigate. In other words, in half a minute, Ling did break through that authority.

But...... What level is this, exactly?

Lloyd smiled bitterly, he didn't have such a remote knowledge.

"Ling, are you investigating vehicle information?"

"Hmm. I'm searching through the whole Cross Bell network, and the data of IBC and the database of the freckled boy also let me use it for the time being~"

Ling smiled confidently, not caring if her actions hurt the interests of others.

"Rei...... Why did you come to Crossbell? Shouldn't you be here to visit your grandfather? ”

Lloyd wanted to ask a lot of questions, but in the end, he chose this one.

You once introduced this, saying that Ling is temporarily out of the state of association. Assuming she has nothing to do with the association's new plan, what the hell is she here for? Will it have an effect on Cross Bell?

Hearing his concern, Ling smiled and responded without looking back: "Ling just came to ask grandpa to fix 'Mom and Dad' (Patil?) Martil, the giant robot mentioned earlier)'. The 'Doctor' was not very trustworthy, so I asked him secretly. ”

Ph.D....... Doesn't that sound like a militant and a mind, a developer of weapons or something?

And, Mom and Dad...... What is it? Can it be "repaired"?

Lloyd suppressed his question, wanting to know, but asked, in Ling's words, "it was too boring".

"Big brother, don't worry so much. Ling is just an observer. Except for the tea party, don't plan to do anything strange, don't be wary. ”

Just as Rei said this, the door of the support department was slammed open, and the others arrived almost at the same time, and it looked like they must have met on the road.

After seeing Ling, everyone almost made surprised expressions together.

And then......

"It's noisy! you! If you want to quarrel, get out of the quarrel! ”

…………

So you're still there! Vincent! As a thug of Lubacher, wouldn't it be really good not to prepare for the Black Auction!

The red suit was crumpled, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, he didn't look like he had slept well, and his hair was messy. The third-in-command of the mafia was standing at the top of the stairs at this time, supporting the wall with one hand, with a very unhappy expression.

"Huh?! Didn't you go?! ”

Even the calm-minded Lloyd was taken aback by his actions.

"Didn't I say it yesterday, it was too noisy over there, and before the auction started, Lao Tzu was sleeping here."

Snorting like a cow, Vincent's whole body was filled with evil breath.

"Well, but that, where did you sleep?"

Lloyd also thought he was terrible, but he still had the courage to ask.

"Empty room on the third floor. The door lock or something, just kicked open. ”

Well, it's really mafia-like. But I really hope that other aspects are also a little bit mafia-conscious.

After the warning, Vincent cursed and went upstairs, and it seemed that he was really going to live here before the auction began......

After a brief vignette, Lloyd briefly explained his encounter with Ling.

"Found it. Remus Transport, their haul stopped there half an hour ago, and the next delivery location is, Belgard Gate. Correspondence Number...... Well, found it. ”

Ling's voice interrupted their communication, and Lloyd didn't have any doubts, so he immediately dialed the communication, and sure enough, the other side was also very worried.

"Great! I'm worried, I don't know the numbers of the guerrilla association or the police station...... Comrade policeman! Something's wrong! I'm innocent! As soon as I opened the box, I found that there was a child! I'm not an abductor! Really, you have to trust me! ”

It seems that Lloyd is here to capture him.

"Please don't panic, little boy with reddish-brown hair, it's indeed on your side, right?"

"Oops?! No, that...... In fact! I heard a sound in the box halfway through, so I opened the box, and when I found a child, I immediately contacted the head office, but ...... While I was commencing, the boy disappeared! ”

"What?!"

Lloyd was taken aback by this unexpected fact.

There is a West Crossbell street between Belgard Gate and Crossbell City...... On the streets, there are monsters wandering! It is impossible for a child to disappear, combined with the previous information, this child's exuberant curiosity and extraordinary action, I am afraid that it will be dangerous!

"I see, we'll go over right away, please stay where you are, that kid may come back."

Ignoring that the other party was still flustered, Lloyd immediately cut off the communication.

"Everyone, urgent mission, go to the West Gate first, and talk as you go!"

――――――――――――

The group ran all the way to the west gate of Crossbell City, where a soldier of the Karumen consortium stood in full armor. At some point, the Karumen Foundation openly sent its own fighters to guard the gate on the grounds of "protecting the safety of citizens......

However, it is a good thing that it has increased people's sense of security and the government's sense of crisis.

Theo turns on the wand's perception function and roughly determines the location of the van. In the distance, small magical beasts could be seen wandering around the streets of West Crossbell.

There had been a purge by the Karumon consortium before, but it didn't work. Cleaning up such things as monsters is like cleaning up a fish pond. After cleaning it up, it's really clean, but after a while, whether you want it or not, it will come back to the way it was. Unless you solve the "root" and destroy the Seven Jewels that gave birth to the Demon Beast, then everything else will be affected.

In the long run, the crackdown only had one effect......

Lloyd couldn't help but sigh: why did these strange forces gather in Crossbell......

"Huh? Magic wand? The professor seems to have something similar, and the Epstein Foundation is really amazing. ”

Ling smiled cheerfully, but Theo had a chill on her face.

"Professor...... Wiseman? ”

"Oh, sure enough, Brother You told you. But now, isn't the time to talk about this? Before that very, very cute child suffered misfortune~"

"You don't need to say it."

Noelle was a little angry and scolded her, and when she saw this little ghost, she felt that she was angry, she was too lacking in tutoring! How can you casually throw yourself into a man's arms?!

As if to be angry at something strange, leave her alone.

――――――――――――

Seeing that there were pedestrians, it seemed that the unicorn fairy's monster spread its wings and glided over, Randy pursed his lips and scolded, "Get in the way!" As soon as the axe and gun in his hand turned, the crimson fighting spirit immediately launched a crimson storm in front of him, unable to withstand the stinging heat, and the demonic beasts avoided it one after another.

There are a few particularly strong and backbone monsters, which have broken through Randy's flame fighting spirit, and what awaits them is the barrage attack of Noelle and Ellie, and the large amount of physical strength that was originally consumed when passing through the flames was shot by the two of them, and immediately turned into purple smoke, and the crystal flare shattered to the ground.

However, no one has the heart to collect this right now.

Lloyd now suddenly had a weak thought, "I wish it would be nice if I swam here."

Ran for about five or six minutes again? The roof of the guide car, which could finally be seen, and the sound of everyone's footsteps alarmed the sleeping axe-bladed birds on the side of the road. This monster looks like a huge hairless rooster, but the position of the crown is indeed a cuticle that resembles a machete, and it likes to compete with other monsters for strength.

Seeing such a large number of people rushing over, the aggressive axe-bladed bird screamed, lowered its axe blade, and rushed towards everyone, precisely to see who had more strength.

Cut......

Randy was about to throw the axe gun when Lloyd held his hand.

I saw Lloyd holding his two-handed whirling stick in front of him, and a faint red fighting spirit covered his body, as if he was wearing a fighting clothes, and with his low shout, Lloyd greatly accelerated his pace and rushed towards the axe-bladed bird.

Boom!

A head-to-head power contest.

From Lloyd's whirlwind, the axe-bladed bird was struck with a tremendous impact.

However, it can hold on!

[Brave Smash], the original use of this skill, is to break through an opening after your side is besieged by the enemy. In terms of assault power, Lloyd didn't think he would lose to Warcraft.

It's not okay to rely on Randy all the time. Lloyd knew this all too well.

Then he was ruthless, and pushed forward with both hands, and actually threw the axe blade bird away!

In front of the guide car that the support department came all the way easily, the employees who were in a hurry almost cried.

"You're here! That kid hasn't come back yet! ”
