Sergei gulped down his noodles, which were firm and the soup was thick. Sergei had no reason not to like it.

However, since his subordinates left, he rarely came here.

Every time I come here, I think of the young man who used to be my subordinate. With flaxen-colored broken hair, a confident smile, and a hearty voice, he looks energetic at all times, like a man with a large dog.

Guy Bannings. Sergei was once one of his most important subordinates. Brother of Lloyd Bannings.

Looking at Lloyd's flaxen hair and energetic eyes, Sergei would always mistake him for Guy. However, the current Lloyd is still too immature, and if you want to make a comparison, the current Lloyd is not even half as good as his brother.

Just as Sergei was eating noodles carelessly, there seemed to be some dispute going on in the seat next to him. The cacophony of voices pulled Sergei's thoughts back. He turned his head to the voice, trying to confirm what was going on.

The man in the knitted hat who had just sat next to him finished his noodles and was about to leave, and Mira and the bowl of noodles with only soup left were placed on the table. The dark-haired man sitting on the other side of the man held his wrist tightly.

"I said, what the hell do you want to do?"

The knitted hat male is a little angry. Whoever is pulled by someone for no reason when they are about to leave will be in a bad mood.

"Well, I just thought that I didn't bring Mira, and I hope you can treat me to a bowl of noodles."

Unexpected request. Sergei has been a police officer for so long, and it is the first time he has seen such a person.

"I'm sick, I don't know you!"

The man in the knitted hat seemed to be in a hurry, and he kept shaking his hand to try to break free of the black-haired man's hand, but the strong hand seemed to be fixed on it, and it didn't move.

Sergei found it interesting, although as a police officer, it was his job to resolve disputes. However, he is also a little excited about what will unfold next.

"Well, it's not your Mira anyway, how good it would be to use that uncle's Mila to give me a personal favor." The black-haired man smiled as he spoke, his hand let go, and he immediately grabbed it back with his backhand, and the hand was forced, and the man in the knitted hat felt pain in his hand, so he had to follow his strength and carry his arm behind his back.

"Ahhh

"Well, I think about it, where did you put it? Left pocket? Completely ignoring the knitted hat man's scolding, the black-haired man stood up and reached into his left pocket with his free hand.

"Bastard, don't mess around with people's things, what do you think you are!"

"There you have it, this is it."

The brown purse was taken out.

This is, my wallet?! Sergei looked at the purse in the hand of the black-haired man with some surprise. I was able to steal my wallet right under my nose, although I was indeed a little distracted, but I was afraid that I was a repeat offender if I could steal it without my knowledge.

"Well, here's my wallet."

Sergei admitted. The brunette man handed over the wallet. However, the hand holding the prisoner still did not relax.

"I said you, think about how this uncle should settle the bill if he doesn't have money." The black-haired man said in a serious tone. "Well, I'm glad I'm not a police officer."

With that, the brunette man let go of his hand. The man in the knitted hat fled quickly.

Sergei noticed that when the black-haired man let go, his slender fingers pressed a few times covertly. It should have been a gas into the thief's wrist. It seems that although there will be a big problem, it is inevitable that it will be swollen for a few days.

What an interesting person. Sergei smiled and said to the black-haired man, "My name is Sergei, and I'll ask you for this bowl of noodles." ”

"My name is Yuki Tatsumi, so I'm treated to you."

In the underground space, the four of Lloyd had already walked nearly a dozen times away, passing through a long metal passage and coming to a relatively open place. There is a long straight ladder above the hollow-shaped pathway. The dazzling sunlight casts from the end of the ladder, warm and dazzling, and the eye can see that leads to the central square of the city of Crossbell.

"Huh? There's even a way here. Lloyd couldn't help but sigh.

This underground space is not intricate, but it is also easy to get lost. There are very few signs in the entire space that can discern the direction, and the platforms that can be walked on are much the same, coupled with the wandering of the monsters, it is possible to take a detour if you are not careful. Tio memorized the drawings of the tunnels, otherwise the four of them might have gotten lost and walked back.

"This ladder database doesn't record it."

Looking at the ladder that led to the ground, Theo thought for a moment, and said in the affirmative.

"Huh? Why is it open? Randy asked curiously.

Judging from the fact that several people need keys to unlock and open the door, all the entrances and exits of the underground space here should be sealed.

"Maybe the person in charge forgot to lock it, right? I'll get in touch with the city hall in a moment. Ellie offered her opinion. This is the most plausible explanation.

Moving on, passing through a passageway, a guide elevator appeared in front of several people. However, the place that was supposed to be an elevator is now empty, and it looks like someone has gone down.

Did someone break into the person and go down?

Lloyd quickly came to the conclusion that someone had gone down the elevator. Theo operated on the auxiliary console next to him, and the friction of the metal chain pulled and pulled came from the space, and after a while, the elevator soared from the deep space and was heard in front of several people.

"Guys, I suspect someone has broken in, and we may have to hurry up." Lloyd calmly judged. Ellie nodded as she scribbled in her notes, but her emerald green eyes narrowed slightly due to the lack of light. Randy gestured with an OK.

If an ordinary person sees this ladder in the central square and strays into it, it is very likely that they will be attacked by the monster. Although these monsters are nothing to a few people with good fighting qualities, they are still very threatening to ordinary people.

With the sound of the rattling of the traction chain, the elevator descended rapidly.

Before it had fully fallen, I heard a buzzing sound below. Four or five demonic beasts shaped like cockroaches crawled slowly on the ground, spreading their wings from time to time and flying briefly.

"Looks like the intruders didn't get in here." Ellie breathed a sigh of relief, since the monster was here, it meant that no one was taking the elevator down. If someone had ever stopped here, then these monsters would definitely chase him out of here.

"No, it's the opposite." Lloyd's voice was a little cold—he was forcibly suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

"Generally speaking, this kind of elevator is equipped with a guiding device, and the Qiyao Stone crystals inside are likely to attract demonic beasts, and it is precisely because of this that the platform where the elevator is located is often equipped with special guiding lights to expel demonic beasts." Lloyd said and gestured to the pale green guide lights on the four corners of the platform's railing. Although the color is a little dull, it still glows.

"On the other hand, there should be no magical beasts in the place where there should be no magical beasts, can they only be lured by the prey?" Randy added thoughtfully, clapping his hands and smiling, "It's Lloyd, you really have a clear idea." ”

"Anyway, I'm worried about the intruder." Lloyd said as he looked at the two doors.

Two circular guide doors of the same style will open quickly as soon as someone presses the open button. Actively shut down, or automatically shut down after a period of time when no one is operating. Now that both doors are closed, it is difficult to determine which side the intruder is.

No, maybe it's certain? Lloyd quickly gathered his thoughts and simulated the actions of the intruder.

He first saw the ladder coming down from the central square, then found the elevator and came down. If it's not a worker or a related person, maybe it's just a test of courage, right?

However, Theo said that the ladder was not in the government's information, so the person who came should not be a worker.

Lloyd crossed out the identities of the workers and those involved in his mind.

Then, the expulsion lights here are still working, and the doors are also impossible for Warcraft to open. Therefore, there should be no Warcraft when he comes down.

He gracefully opened a door, and inside the door, cockroach-shaped monsters discovered him. He turned and fled, only to be followed by the cockroach through the door.

Because the energy source of the expulsion lamp began to be insufficient, the monster still rushed into the range of the expelling lamp.

Wrong!

Lloyd immediately reversed his opinion. Because, according to this theory, Warcraft should have caught up with its prey here. Well, they are still a little hesitant in the face of the expulsion lamp. But instead of returning the way he came, the frightened man ran to another door. Then the unwilling monsters, enduring the effect of expelling the lamp, still rushed over. As a result, it was blocked by the cold gate.

Soon, Lloyd probably guessed the itinerary of the target person. So, if you guessed correctly............

Lloyd rested his hands on the edge of the elevator railing, bracing himself and stepping on the railing with one foot.

"Randy, the intruder should have entered the door where the demonic beasts gather now, although it is a bit messy, can you open a path with me?"

Watching Lloyd's actions, Randy first paused, then smiled heartily, and said, "It's really a chaotic searcher." No problem! ”

The elevator was still 2 sub-distance from the platform, Lloyd exerted his hands and swung his body to the side, and the whole person had climbed the protective railing, and then jumped into the group of monsters.

The monster clearly spotted the enemy in the air, and the three cockroach monsters flew violently towards Lloyd. Fighting in the air against the monsters that can fly at low altitudes, humans are in an absolutely disadvantageous position.

However, no one has stipulated that the battle can only be one-on-one.

"Ellie, Theo!"

Without any extra words, Ellie had already raised her gun, and the pale cyan guided bullet slashed through Lloyd's face at high speed, accurately smashing a cockroach monster. Theo held Anigema in his hand, and in front of her, the blade of the Ice Sword slowly took shape, and then, quickly passing through Lloyd's armpit, he accurately led the other monster back to the platform.

Others may have worried about whether their companions would hit them, but Lloyd knew that now was not the time to think about it. The sooner you get there, the better your chances of being able to help.

I can only trust my companions. That's what Lloyd had in mind.

There was also a flying cockroach that didn't break through, Ellie's aiming and Theo's magic took time, and Lloyd could only cross the whirling stick in front of him, hoping to reduce the impact of the monster.

"Yo!! You didn't call me, but I helped! ”

Behind him came a slightly flirtatious voice, half-joking words, and the sound of heavy objects flying through the air at high speed. The huge black axe gun grazed Lloyd's side, and the strong force caused a violent air current, and with a bang, the blunt blade of the axe gun half sank into the steel plate of the platform.

You must know that in order to facilitate mechanical operation, the platform is made of high-strength composite steel plates, which not only have a very high load, but also are very strong, and can be submerged into the steel plate with one blow, which shows the strength of Randy's arm strength.

Although Randy's axe gun didn't hit the monster, the powerful air flow triggered by the high-speed flying axe gun directly disrupted the flight trajectory of the monster, and the monster circled and crashed into the air according to the deviated trajectory.

Lloyd laughed, buried his head between his arms, and let the whirling sticks in both hands hit the platform directly, and with a clatter, Lloyd rolled on the ground, and immediately adjusted his body.

In mid-air, Randy, who jumped at the same time as Lloyd, also landed heavily on the platform, pulled out the axe gun with both hands, and took advantage of the fact that the monsters did not react, and suddenly struck a sweep, the guiding device at the head of the axe gun emitted a faint red light, and the huge axe blade drew a large arc. Just stopped near Lloyd's shoulder. The two of them were on guard back to back, and the blow just now swept away, directly breaking the cockroach demonic beast that had not yet taken off, and the Qiyao Stone fragments in their bodies were scattered all over the ground. But now is not the time to collect.

"Guys, keep the momentum going!"

A quick rendezvous with Theo and Ellie, Lloyd said as he opened the guide door first. The four of them maintained a formation and struck towards the unfamiliar environment.
