Looking at the busy crowd in front of him, Grent felt very irritable in his heart.

Seven soldiers were missing in one night, just one night, and it was simply something he couldn't accept. Grent had always regarded the task he had been given to him as his responsibility, and now that something like this had happened, his mind was in a mess.

"Commander, still no trace of the missing soldiers has been found. Master Chief Ares stepped forward and reported to him, "Nothing, as if it had evaporated from the world." ”

"Find me again!" cried Grant, "how could anyone in this world suddenly disappear for no reason, and they would definitely leave evidence no matter what!"

"Yes. Ares gave a military salute, "Then I'll go tell them to continue the search." ”

"By the way, call me the people who were on duty at the main gate last night, I have something to ask them. ”

"Understood, I'll go and call them over now. Ares turned away at the order, but Grent still felt a stone pressed against his chest, and the stone I was breathless.

"Sir, do you want to see us?" the two soldiers approached Grent, who had to muster himself and raise his head.

"Were you two the ones on duty guarding the main gate last night?"

"Yes, sir. It was the two of us who were on guard duty last night. The slightly older soldier replied.

"The two of you, Private Emile and Private Frey, used to serve as a guard at the BPRD headquarters, and were selected to join the unit I led because of their outstanding abilities, am I wrong?"

"I didn't expect a nobody like us to be able to get into the eyes of the chief. Private Amir laughed.

"So let me ask you, did you see anything unusual last night?"

"If something out of the ordinary happens, we won't dare to hide it. Private Frey replied, "Last night, my senior and I have been guarding the main entrance, and nothing unusual happened. ”

"Really?" Glent's eyes still didn't take his eyes off them, "That's really strange, all the radio signals were jammed last night, and there was no picture of the surveillance at all, and you were on duty that day, is it all a coincidence?"

"Sir. "We will never betray the BPRD, and with my life as a guarantee, if we have any act of betrayal, you can immediately enforce military law." ”

Grent's tone softened: "Well, seeing you behave like this may really be my thinking too much, but you still have suspicions, and you must cooperate with the investigation before the matter is revealed." ”

"All obeys, sir. Frey replied, "We will cooperate with the investigation carefully." ”

"Very well, you guys go down. Grent waved at the two, and they retreated after giving a military salute.

"Why, the Commander didn't bother you. As soon as the two of them reached the hallway, Master Chief Ares asked them with a smile.

"Why is it just to express his doubts. Amir replied lightly, "After all, isn't it suspicious for all of us to have this kind of thing happening now?"

"Now there are only two situations. Ares raised two fingers and said, "One is that the enemy is strong enough to wipe out seven well-trained elite soldiers without even realizing it. ”

Both Emile and Frey's brows furrowed slightly at the words, but Ares, who was talking about it, clearly didn't notice the slight change in their expressions.

"And what is the second one?" Frey asked.

"The second one, it's hard to say. "But now a lot of people think they're deserters, and while it's weird, it's a possibility." ”

"As a soldier of the BPRD, no! Even as a human being, you can't run away in this war. "The one who escapes can only be a coward, and I believe there will be no such coward among us." ”

"You kid is extra energetic today. Ares said in some surprise, "I can't see that although I usually talk a little little, maybe there are many people who can't compare to you." ”

When Frey heard Ares say this, his elbow inadvertently touched Amir's arm, and Emile immediately replied.

"Maybe it's because the commander just called us in to ask about it, but these are my real thoughts, after all, we are warriors, and as warriors, we should take it as our responsibility to protect others. ”

"Well said!" Ares patted Amir on the shoulder, "If what the Commander said just now was too abrupt, then please let me apologize on his behalf, the Commander is already upset now, you should be more considerate of him." ”

"We didn't blame him. Frey began, "Our loyalty is evident and will not change with a word from the commander. ”

"That's right. Ares stretched, "I've been searching since the early morning and I've found nothing at all, and honestly, I really don't know what the use of continuing to search is." ”

"Isn't our real task to protect Secretary General Vincent?" Amir asked, "I think it's better to do more to protect it, and this search may be futile." ”

"As you know, we now have someone to protect besides Vincennes. Ares spread his hands helplessly, "The troops that are not too many should be dispersed, if only we couldn't send some more troops." ”

Amir's eyes lit up, as if something had finally caught his heart, but now he had to be cautious and not to reveal his intention to speak like this.

"I mean the woman. Looking at Amir, who didn't know how to speak, Frey picked up the conversation at the right time.

"Yes, that woman," Ares said impatiently at the mention of the incident, "it is said that her boyfriend has betrayed us, and she herself has hidden many things about her boyfriend, and although she has now woken up, she is still silent, which is a real headache for us. ”

"Do you want torture to extract confessions?" said Amir, though so easily, his hands behind his back were clenched into fists.

"Not really. Ares dispelled their suspicions, "Although she is hiding it, we still believe that she is still loyal to the BPRD, she is only disturbed by personal feelings, and maybe she will be willing to speak up after a while." ”

"Then I wish you success, Master Chief. Frey said with a smile.

"Well, you also worked hard last night, and you should have had an early rest, but now you still have to be in charge of the search and you have to be ready to interrogate at all times, so take a good rest when you're done. ”

"You too, Master Chief. Amir gave him a military salute, and Ares spoke to them a few more words before leaving.

"Is there anyone around?" Frey said, looking around again. "If there's no one, we should be able to get started. ”

"I'm tired after performing for so long. Amir's voice changed, and his tone was full of contempt. "But we know most of what we want to know. ”

"Then again, Mephistopheles gave you something really interesting, how it was possible to make us appear as other people without us being in the same person, I've never heard of anything like it before. ”

"That's what you say. "Emile" pulled out a small ball that was glowing purple in his pocket, "Mephistopheles has injected a small part of his abilities into this thing, it shouldn't be surprising that with that guy's strength, he can do this." ”

"To be honest, I'm curious, what exactly does it do?" Frey asked.

"It's Mephistopheles' illusion. "Emile" held the bead in his hand and played with it, "With this bead as the origin, the radius of ten kilometers has now been shrouded in illusion, so they will not have any doubts when they see that our image has always been Emile and Frey." ”

"I see, the rest of the matter is simple. Frey laughed, "It's easy to get the information we want by playing them like monkeys, and Mephistopheles is a cunning trick." ”

"As I expected, they're in a bit of a mess, so what's next, I think you should know what to do. "Amir" looked at "Frey" and said.

"Are there two soldiers?" said Frey, "and who do you think we should aim for?"

"Vincent will leave it to you, as for Chikusa Wakaba, she and I, no, she have an inexplicable connection with another me, and she should be my target no matter what. ”

"Listen and obey. Frey snorted, "Of course, don't make any mistakes, or you and I won't be able to afford to be responsible." ”

"Don't think too much of that Mephistopheles. "Amir" looked dismissive, "just a bastard who thinks he can do anything, and I didn't intend to take to heart the orders he gave from the beginning." ”

"Recognize where you are, Rex. "Frey" suddenly called out "Amir's" real name under the illusion.

"Are you crazy!?" Rex immediately reached out to cover his mouth, "Didn't I say never call me by my real name? ”

"Look, aren't you also worried about failure?" Kane laughed and pulled Rex's hand away from his mouth, "Everyone has fear, whether it's humans or demons, you don't think that way in your heart, although you say you don't fear Mephistopheles. ”

"You bastard!" Rex's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but quickly returned to calm. "But maybe it's true, as you say, and I really don't want this mission to fail, so let's do our jobs for now. ”

"Wouldn't it be okay if we did this sooner, and I'll take care of all the things of that Vincennes guy. Kane snorted and turned away, but Rex kept staring at his back until the somewhat grim back was gone.

"Are you just a tool to carry out orders, or a hidden horror within yourself?" Rex sighed on his own, "I'm afraid only you know, Kane, even if that Mephistopheles guy trusts you, I don't believe it." ”

Rex also turned and walked down the dark aisle on the other side without any lights.
