Chapter 42: The Shock Under the Night Sky

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Lloyd rubbed his eyes, which were not fully open, and braced himself up.

If you look at the time, it's around 0:10.

Why did you wake up......

Lloyd's mind was groggy, and anyone who was in a deep sleep would have this reaction, and he was not to blame.

Then he heard it again.

Resembles the roar of a large beast.

Lloyd suddenly came to his senses.

"Is it a Warcraft?"

Kicking off the quilt and pulling the clothes off the wall and draping them, Lloyd made himself as fast as he could go out.

"Oh, that's not the case."

Through the door, Randy's voice was a little muffled. It looked like he was awake and ready to stand in the doorway waiting for Lloyd.

"Randy? Do you already know? ”

"Two or three minutes ahead of you. That's a big guy. Probably in the Old Town. ”

Although he wasn't sure what Randy meant, Lloyd poked his head out of the window curiously. However, he could not see anything. Of course, the male dormitory of the Support Section is on the second floor, so how is it possible to see what is happening in the old town at this height?

No, now is not the time to observe, we need to make a decision.

"Randy, call Upstream and Ellie, go stop ...... No, go and organize the evacuation of the residents. ”

Lloyd hesitated for a moment, but changed "stop the monster from committing murder" to "organize the evacuation of residents".

The impact of the Karumon consortium on him during the day was too great. It's good to have blood and a sense of justice, but if you're blinded by these beautiful things and can't see the difference between us and the enemy, it's not okay.

If Randy's words are true, then the fact that the beast's roar can be transmitted from the Old Town means that he is not too small. Moreover, the Old Town is the closest to the East End, and the Guerrilla Association should have sent someone over to fight off the Monsters...... It's hard to say that, but the Support Division is currently underwhelmed. It will only drag the guerrillas back and distract them. It's better to direct the refuge, so that the guerrillas can concentrate more on killing the monster.

Knowing what you need to do is what a good leader should do. The Carrumen consortium unwittingly made Lloyd Bannings more mature.

As for why they didn't call Theo and Hexu, it was early in the morning, and for children, this was an important time to sleep, so how could they stay up late to go on a mission?

"Yo, I thought you'd say something let's go take it down or something. The eldest lady must be getting dressed too. You went out about two minutes before me. ”

Randy's voice was still so hearty, but when he mentioned swimming, his interest suddenly dissipated. Through the door, Lloyd couldn't see his expression. However, it must not be a very good-looking expression.

Lloyd hurriedly got dressed, and the blue and white coat he liked to wear was shattered by the rubble rolled up by the Wind Field during the evening practice match, and he could only take another pure white trench coat. With the whirling stick in hand, he went out to meet Randy.

"Swim him...... Has it already passed? ”

These were the first words Lloyd and Randy had when they met.

"Ah, probably. With his speed, he probably wanted to hold the beast back before the guerrillas arrived, right? ”

Randy raised an eyebrow casually to make his point. His voice was consciously low, after all, it was still midnight, and if it weren't for the training of Lloyd and Randy, I am afraid they would not have been awakened by the roar of the demonic beast.

"yes, I thought he was going to call us along."

Lloyd said with some frustration.

This thought of being excluded by his teammates made him feel very uncomfortable. Seeing this, Randy slapped him on the back. Laughing: "Isn't that exactly his trust in you?" Because he believes that you will make the right decision, he will rush over to prevent a bigger disaster from happening as soon as possible. ”

Randy smiled softly like an elder, his big strong hands rubbing Lloyd's hair.

"Well, am I bothering you?"

A woman's soft chuckle came from the top of the staircase.

It's Ellie.

In order to wear quickly and exercise conveniently, Ellie rarely wore sportswear, and also changed into sneakers with a relatively soft walking voice.

"Ellie, our mission is to evacuate the crowd in the Old Town."

Lloyd knew that she was just joking, and didn't care, and directly got to the point. After all, time waits for no one.

Ellie nodded, this judgment was also very correct.

"So, Special Mission Support Section, let's start carrying out special missions now."

"Yes!"

――――――――――――――

Lixia didn't flee immediately, but took out all the weapons hidden in the room.

If something like this happens, someone will definitely come to investigate, and at the very least, go door-to-door to ask for eyewitness testimony is yes. It wouldn't be nice to say if it was a very observant police officer who came and found the weapon that Lixia was hiding in the room.

There are twenty kunai, which are hidden in bookshelves and pillows. Twelve pieces of rune paper used in the spell were sandwiched between three of Lixia's favorite books, disguised as bookmarks. Other than that, only the big sword left in hand.

This made Lixia worried.

Whether it's kunai or rune paper, it's small and can be easily hidden in clothes, so such a chaotic situation shouldn't attract attention.

But the greatsword is different. It was a big sword about the same height as Lixia Mao herself, and the shape was very oriental, even ordinary people could see at a glance that it was not a conventional weapon, but a specially made big sword.

Of course, Lixia has a secret technique that keeps ordinary people from noticing. However, that secret technique is not effective against the game.

Although Lixia was revealed by You's true identity, there were still some secrets that You didn't want to know.

For example, she is not a novice at all.

For another example, she actually has a deeper relationship with "silver".

It's not okay to be distressed like this, anyway, let's leave the room first. Otherwise, if that demonic beast presses here, it will be broken.

Lixia took a deep breath, and the pure fighting qi in her body slowly poured out of her skin, like a mirror, and like mist. If there were ordinary people at this time, the picture in his eyes was probably that Lixia slowly became translucent, and then it seemed that looking through a large flame, Lixia's figure was moving irregularly.

In this way, it will be difficult for ordinary people to recognize Lixia's true face.

However, this is of no use to the masters. Or on the contrary, such a subtle vindictive operation will only make them more suspicious.

So, before Arios comes, dispose of the weapons on his body, and then flee as a normal person.

Paying attention, Lixia turned over slightly, and jumped directly from the window. But her excellent light skills and her fighting spirit concealed her figure, and she was not discovered by anyone, not even Yu Tatsumi.

Then, like a dancing purple butterfly under the moon, Lixia fluttered between the ancient walls of the old city, against the crowds that flocked to the eastern district, and marched deeper into the old city. She knew that in this old town, there was a place that would not be easily discovered.

In the old town, where building materials and waste of all kinds are piled up haphazardly, there is a door that leads to the underground space that extends in all directions to Crossbell. However, this door is blocked by various building materials, and from the outside, no one would have thought that there was such a door here.

Lixia simply removed a few planks, leaving a gap that was barely accessible for one person. Opening the door to the underground space that seemed to lead to the endless abyss, Lixia thought for a moment, climbed over the protective railing, and pointed her sword at the side of the steel platform. With the blessing of the fighting spirit, Lixia's great sword easily pierced through the steel and reached the sword wings.

If I hadn't known about it beforehand, I'm afraid no one would have found out about it. You should be able to rest assured.

But............

Lixia's gaze sharpened suddenly.

This underground space has recently been entered.

Lixia could feel the signs of someone intruding into the place.

"But now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's wait for the rumors to pass and investigate - who could it be? ”
