Chapter 9 Status Quo

【08:30】

The Support Division was able to get in touch with the Guerrilla Association smoothly.

The two sides met at the bar [Trinity] in the old city, and Waji entertained them very warmly, and then naturally stood next to them, with an attitude of "don't care about me, you continue", and everyone could only sigh. I don't have time to get tired of him now, and it doesn't matter if he knows, it's impossible to hide such a major matter.

On the partisan side, because of the suddenness of the incident, there are only Estelle, Lin and Joshua Michel at the moment, and in terms of numbers, they are about the same as the support section.

The two sides then exchanged information, and both sides were attacked around 7 o'clock, and the attacker was Rubacher.

"Hey, that uncle, doesn't look like such a stupid person?"

Suddenly, Waji interjected.

The unisex man was leaning against the door, his slender index and middle fingers between the goblet, and he poured the red liquid inside - grape juice - into his mouth.

The guerrillas also nodded, and they also felt strange at this point, there was no reason why Rubacher would use such a crazy method.

"About that...... I have a guess......"

Lloyd paused for a moment, and told the blue pills left behind by Yu Tatsumi and Rui's attack last night. Combined with his own analysis, he gave the answer "manipulated" with great certainty.

"Manipulated? That's really sad~"

Waji smiled, a relaxed smile as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Am I supposed to be glad, though? On this side of the old town, there is the Karumen consortium on top. ”

Before Waji's joke was finished, Lloyd seemed to notice something, and immediately asked: "Waji, the old city, has it been attacked?" ”

"Nope. Didn't I say it, there is the Karuman consortium on top~"

"That's kind of weird. Why would they suddenly send someone to guard the entrance? ”

“…… Ahh You've really chosen a good place to start. ”

Waji immediately understood what he was going to say.

The weapons of the Karumon Consortium are exaggerated and powerful, and if there is a real fight, there is no reason why the people of the Old Town will not know about it. Combined with Waji's affirmative tone just now, there should be no fighting.

So, was Karumen's reaction too quick in the battle that took place at 7 o'clock this morning?

If it is understandable that the support section or the guerrilla association were attacked, why did they suddenly send people to guard the entrance to the old town?

It's like......

Knowing in advance that there would be such a battle, knowing that Rubacher would attack Crossbell.

In short, let's take Karumen as one of the doubts first, and get back to business.

As for why Joachim is so crazy......

"Could it be that we have already guessed something, so we are in a hurry to kill people?"

Randy said with a big grin, a look of helplessness and distress on his face.

"No, in that case, the guerrilla association will not make sense. Why attack the association? ”

Ellie immediately counter-argues.

"Isn't it related to the peculiarity between us?"

Joshua came up with his own ideas. As he spoke, he spread out a blank sheet of paper and drew a large circle with his fingers.

"If this is Crossbell, the place where the attack will be received during the day today is-"

Joshua made a few quick strokes.

"The police station, the support section, the guerrilla association, and four entrances and exits."

"Wow...... It's like trying to rebel and usurp power! ”

A cold Randy came up with this. It's a misnomer, but that's exactly what it is.

Those who were attacked were all departments with a certain amount of force.

The four entrances and exits were blocked because it was possible to block external support for Crossbell.

It's just like the feudal era, the nobles who want to seek power and usurp the throne.

At this point, the topic gradually became meaningless, and everyone was expressing their own ideas and exchanging opinions with each other in a chaotic manner.

――――――

【08:20】

"Drink!"

Swift uppercut.

The fighting energy wrapped around the fist was violently stimulated, forming a terrifying rising tornado.

The flesh fist and the steel guard plate fought violently, but a phenomenon that defied common sense occurred.

The fist struck through the steel plate unscathed, revealing the delicate and fragile metal wires inside, glowing blue with ruined arcs.

The man quickly stepped back, putting on the dark blue suit he had just thrown into the mutation, and behind his back, the red steel warrior exploded.

It seems that it is something like a secret system, and when defeated, it will self-destruct. Do not let the enemy bring it back to study.

The Dudley Investigator snorted disdainfully, put on his suit, and returned to the calm Dudley Investigator.

He infiltrates the ruins of Rubacher alone, and then discovers a secret passage. Inside, strange self-discipline machines run around, acting as bodyguards.

This machine creature that was significantly higher than modern technology reminded him of the Liber anomaly. It is said that when Liber was mutated, there were also wonderful mechanical enemies.

Use this as a volt line and write it down first.

Dudley made it all the way to the deepest part of the world. Then, I encountered a huge red robot that looked like a samurai. After a lot of hard fighting, I finally won.

However, the robot finally let him confirm it.

"The Snake Who Eats the Body......"

The name that has been mentioned countless times in reports related to Liber's mutation.

Dudley's face was solemn, he didn't expect that this mysterious organization would actually come to Crossbell. It is necessary to strengthen the response.

But...... Guarded by such a powerful thing, behind the door, what is it?

With that in mind, Dudley confirmed that there were no traps behind the door and kicked it open.

Inside is a luxurious room. It looks like it's President Markney's personal room or something. There was no one hiding inside. Rubache's people just disappeared into thin air.

Because of the abnormal movement of the guide wave, Dudley now did not know that directly above him, Lubacher's mafia was frantically attacking the city.

Rudley rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, trying to find out the mafia's orientation, but unexpectedly found a large number of documents.

"Smuggling-related documents...... The list of the Black Auction and the entry channels, and even the bidders' information...... The record of bribery, sure enough, there are many people in the upper echelons of the police station who have benefited...... Weapons supply channels...... Hehe...... With these, they will definitely be locked up in prison for the rest of their lives! ”

Dudley scolded indignantly.

But it's only too much of a mouthful......

Because whether it is a police officer or a search officer, when handling cases, they pay attention to formality. Dudley did not have a formal search warrant, so all the information found here cannot be used as evidence and has no legal effect.

Moreover, if Dudley had reported his findings to the authorities, he would have not only not received a formal search warrant, but would have been punished for trespassing......

Damn it...... It was only then that Dudley hated the law immensely. Wicked people who do not obey the law can always use the law to hinder the righteous.

Eventually, a large metal chest catches Dudley's attention, which is locked, and Dudley, not wanting to destroy it violently, finally finds the key on the shelf where the wine is stored. On weekdays, his subordinates don't mess with the leader's wine storage, and it's common sense to hide keys and the like in such a place.

When he opened the box, two documents, one red and one blue, immediately caught his attention.

"What is the list of receipts and shipments? I've found something that I can't see. ”

After a brief flip through it, Dudley put it back. The citizens recorded in it have indeed had abnormal tendencies in recent times. The personality is becoming more and more tyrannical.,And the style of acting is also a big change.,Become impatient and aggressive.。

Moreover, there is also a record of feeding military dogs with true knowledge. It is not difficult to explain why military dogs, which would otherwise require long hours of training, can be used in large numbers by them. Originally, I thought they had a special purchase channel, but now it seems that it is a function of true knowledge.

And...... This thing......

Dudley pulled out a badge from the corner of the box. This look is so familiar that anyone who has anything to do with the police station will not be mistaken.

The badge of the Crossbell Police Department. There was a very conspicuous cut on it.

“……”

Dudley's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Guy ......"

He muttered, his thumb rubbing hard against a shocking cut on the badge.

"Original...... You've already found out here, and you've lost so many moves......
