Agent?

Avant looked down at Hawthorn, who had fallen to the ground, with undisguised disgust in his eyes.

Not disgusted agents.

It's simply a dislike of Hawthorn.

Avent knew very well that Hawthorn wanted to be more than just an agent.

But......

Chip!

In that place, you can make the other person live and live better.

Because, it has been cut off from here for too long, and a ...... 'person' who knows what is going on here is needed.

Faced with the disgust in Avente's eyes, Hawthorn smiled.

"Don't worry, when I tell you about the situation here, I will definitely have some reservations, and then, find an opportunity to tell you some more things there, of course, for safety, I will also keep some of it."

"Look, isn't it fair?"

Hawthorn said and crossed his knees to make himself look less embarrassed.

"Fair?"

"If it weren't for killing you now, it's useless, you'd have died countless times by now."

Avant said coldly.

"Of course, of course!"

"I'm sure you're going to kill me."

"But it's best to work together now."

Hawthorn waved his hand, and it was this simple action that made him breathless.

Then, the great pope of the present generation, who had just sacrificed most of the 'temple', turned his head in the direction of Ang Shing.

"Where do you say 'that' now?"

"Explore the World...... I've explored all the places I can. ”

"Where will he be?"

Hawthorn asked himself.

Then Hawthorn smiled again.

"As a sign of sincerity, I'll tell you a piece of news first."

"Lawrence planted a 'bomb' in Aung Tse!"

After saying that, Hawthorn deliberately paused and looked at Avante.

When he saw Avent's calm, unwavering eyes, Hawthorn was slightly stunned.

Then, the great pope of the day reacted immediately.

"Aitdermon?"

"That Aitdemond, whom Lawrence considers his greatest enemy?"

"Really good guys."

"It's a pity that I didn't get a chance to meet him."

With these words, Hawthorn did not look at Avant again, he looked at the night sky, and then, again, at Angcheng, his eyes were fixed on the city that flickered in the night, and muttered to himself:

"Where there is a place to expel me, there is a place to welcome me."

"Avante, we ......"

"See you in the sky!"

When the words fell, the breath of this contemporary great pope was completely gone, and his body turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Avant looked at the ashes and was silent for a moment before he glanced up at the night sky.

Or rather, farther away than the night sky.

It's just that he doesn't have the slightest bit of envy, inquiry, and curiosity.

He now hoped that his son would get married soon, and that he and Mrs. Jennifer would have eleven or two healthy children, and that he would take them to build a farm outside the city, and to farm, graze, and fish, and if any of them could inherit his swordsmanship, it would be a great thing.

As for the heavens?

Bullshit!

There was nothing worth in his eyes.

However, the destruction will still be destroyed.

Otherwise......

He couldn't sleep.

Avant glanced at the night sky again, a chill in his eyes.

Is it really that his sword intent is so easy to resist?

With a flick of his cloak, in the middle of the night, in the sound of the cloth, Avent turned and disappeared into the darkness.

He wrote down the things of heaven.

After that, he will deal with them one by one.

And now?

The matter of Nung Shing is more important.

Especially when his son was in charge of a crucial task.

……

Aitdemon looked at the screen as Arras, Dybala, Sheba and Io. Kate joined in, and after the battle that had the upper hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bring me a cup of hot cocoa."

Aitdermon said.

Immediately, one of the remaining mobile team members brought the hot cocoa that had been prepared long ago to Aitdemund.

Thick, hot cocoa with a lot of protein powder added to it, making it difficult for ordinary people to swallow.

But for Aitdemond, it wasn't enough.

"One more drink."

After drinking three glasses in a row, Aitdermon felt the tingling in his brain get better.

He rubbed his temples and continued to relieve the pain.

After about two minutes, the 'they' in his mind took a break.

But there is one that does not.

A 'he' who completely simulates 'Lawrence'.

'Reached the limit?' ’

'What a disappointment for me. ’

'In vain, I will treat you as a great enemy, and arrange you layer by layer. ’

The 'Lawrence' looked at him sarcastically.

'Thank you. ’

I just want to be salted fish for the rest of my life. ’

'It's good to lie there and do nothing!' ’

'I've tried to reduce my presence, why are you still pushing me?' ’

He asked rhetorically.

'Because ......'

'As long as you live, I won't be able to sleep!' ’

The 'Lawrence' said, staring at him with malice.

'You didn't become my person. ’

He also refused my invitation again and again. ’

And you've shown great talent and a ridiculous sense of justice. ’

'How can I not destroy you like this?' ’

'Unfortunately, you are not only talented, but also very lucky, and you have escaped my layout twice in a row, and Sean's assassination is even more ridiculous, but it has alerted you and fled to Ang. ’

It's a pity. ’

'Lawrence' said coldly, a hint of exclamation appeared on his face.

He remained silent.

At this moment, he is absolutely rational, he has no feelings as a 'human', just keeps analyzing and summarizing.

Again, the conclusions that had been drawn before came to an end.

Moreover, compared to the previous blur, this time it is much clearer.

It wasn't that I fled to Ang Thanh. ’

'You are the one who sent me to Ngong City. ’

'Because here, you have a chance to turn the tables around!' ’

'Because ......'

'Ngong Shing itself is your first layout. ’

As he spoke, he looked up at Lawrence.

Lawrence nodded, not retorting.

'Not bad. ’

This is my original layout. ’

Guess what, where did I put my chance to turn the tables? ’

As he spoke, the usual malice appeared on Lawrence's face.

'In ...... 'shelter'! ’

He replied.

The malice on Lawrence's face stiffened slightly.

It's not hard to guess. ’

You were once a high-ranking member of the 'asylum!' ’

If you want to lay out in Ngong Thanh, you can't do without the 'shelter'! ’

'So, what could be more suitable than the 'Aung Thanh Shelter' as a stronghold?' ’

The 'Aung Thanh Asylum', which is already underground, is the most suitable for you to dig a few floors downward, or secretly leave a secret passage and an elevator to get there. ’

He looked at the stiffness on Lawrence's face and said slowly.

At this point, he paused.

Do you want to hear me say that? ’

He asked abruptly.

'Lawrence' kept his face stiff, his eyes full of shock, and he didn't seem to understand what he was talking about.

And he continued.

You're going to be able to set up a comeback in the stronghold of the 'Aung Thanh Asylum.' ’

However, there must be more than one chance for a comeback. ’

'Depending on your personality, you're sure to put a last chance on the insurance!' ’

He said with great certainty.

The stiffness on Lawrence's face and the shock in his eyes vanished.

Then 'Lawrence' scoffed.

'What if you know?' ’

'It was a lore! ’

Even if you knew, you couldn't change anything! ’

Just like the previous two! ’

'Lawrence' accentuated the 'twice' pronunciation in the words, and then 'Lawrence' stared at him intensely, hoping to see the pain and sadness on his face.

It's a pity that at this time, he doesn't have these emotions at all.

On the contrary, Lawrence's words reveal more.

'Sure enough......'

The presence there is a coincidence. ’

You're just borrowing this coincidence. ’

'Fits your style perfectly. ’

He said, then, after a pause, continued: "So, will it be a problem for me to choose to sacrifice my comrades, or destroy the whole of Aung City?" ”

'Guess! ’

That malicious smile appeared on Lawrence's face again.

Then, 'Lawrence' disappeared.

He returned to his normal state.

Aitdermon rubbed his temples and subconsciously wiped his nosebleed, then picked up the communicator.

"Aster?"

"It's me, Senpai."

"The secret passage has been found."

Inside the communicator, Esther's voice was heard.

"Good, wait for me, I'll ...... right away"

Before the word 'to' could be spoken, Aitdemund felt that it was dark in front of him, and in a whirlwind, Aitdemon fell to the ground.

"Director!"

"Doctor! Doctor! ”

The members of the mobile team who stayed behind hurriedly picked up Ett Dermon and yelled to the side.

"Soldier, report on the situation of Aitdemont's seniors."

Esther's voice was directed inside the communicator.

"Report, Director Ett Dermon is unconscious!"

Listening to the words of the mobile team member, Esther, who was under the stronghold of the 'shelter' in Angcheng at the moment, frowned, his eyes were full of worry, and he directly said to Clark and Litus who were standing beside him: "Both, please go back to the top and help take care of some of the Elder Edmund's seniors, and take over the entire base at the same time." ”

"The battle is not over."

"There's a need for experienced people to be in command!"

Seeing that the captain and vice captain of the mobile team wanted to say something, Esther said immediately.

Then, he pointed to a secret door that had just been searched out in front of him and said, "As an investigator, I have more experience in investigation, and this place is more suitable for me." ”

Clark and Litus looked at Esther, and finally, nodded.

"Be careful!"

The two admonished.

Then, the two of them gave the order to a mobile team of ten people to the side.

"You're under Mr. Esther's command for the time being, understand?"

"Understood!"

The members of the mobile team saluted in response.

Esther took a deep breath as he watched Clark and Litas enter the elevator.

He was very worried in his heart.

The calm on his face at this moment is just a pretense of calmness.

From the description of Aitdemond's predecessors, he knew very well who that 'Lawrence' was.

A smart but ill-tempered guy who will do anything to get his goals.

Such a bastard, could it be simple to leave behind the 'back hand'?

In fact, from the moment Aitdemon's predecessors confirmed that there was a backhand in the 'shelter' in Ang City, he began to investigate.

A large number of personnel have invested in it, and they have almost turned the 'shelter' over, and it is only when they have just discovered the 'secret passage' left by the other party.

A 'secret passage' hidden in the emergency evacuation passage of the 'Shelter'.

The emergency evacuation passage is a special passage that every city's 'shelter' will have, and it is the last way for the 'shelter' to prepare for its members.

Therefore, there is no one here in normal times.

As for opening?

It's even more impossible.

Because, once it is opened, it means that something that cannot be resisted has happened.

Everything here is uploaded to HQ.

Then, the containment breach plan is activated.

Esther didn't expect it to be an emergency evacuation passage at first, but he didn't find it when he was about to turn the entire base over, but he still believed in the premise of Ett Dermon, he directly opened this passage, and then found the 'secret passage' in this passage.

Bait HQ accountability?

By this time, Esther didn't care at all.

What's more, he has a valid argument: a large number of 'anomalous' attacks on Ngong Thanh, and they need to evacuate.

The 'secret passage' is about 100 meters long, straight down, with elevator facilities and backup power supply.

Click!

The sound of the motor reverberating beneath the 'secret passage'.

This is the sound of Clark and Litus leaving in the elevator.

Esther glanced again at the darkness in front of the 'Secret Passage'.

Unlike just now, where there are wall lamps every 5 meters, it is dark ahead.

It seems to inform everyone who enters here that there is a difference ahead.

Unknown and dangerous.

It's all hidden in the darkness.

Esther took a slight breath, and he turned to look at the person behind him.

"Guys, it's time for us to work together."

As he spoke, Esther's eyes turned to the additional members of the trip: Bob and Hosea.

These are the two who have been in the vicinity of the 'anomaly' and have a bad track record, but they have survived.

Naturally, it is impossible for such a person to leave the 'asylum' members.

As a result, the two of them were honored to become D-Class members of the 'Asylum'.

Not a D-class.

D-, a proxy for a consumable member.

“D-1667，D-1668。”

"Now let's start exploring the way forward."

Esther gave the order directly.

Bob No. D-1667.

Hosea No. D-1668.

The two of them are also fully armed at the moment, wearing protective clothing, headlamps, portable camera equipment, communicators, oxygen tubes, etc.

However, there are no weapons.

D-Class personnel do not need weapons.

Possession of weapons is also not allowed.

"Yes."

Bob and Hosea did not refute Esther's words, let alone resist, and were pointed at ten submachine guns, as long as they didn't want to be beaten into a sieve, they knew what they should do.

With all reluctance, Bob walked in front and Hosea walked behind, the light on their foreheads dispelling the darkness around them, allowing Esther to see the general appearance of the front.

It's not much different from the path you've taken before.

After about thirty meters, a platform appeared, which was connected to the staircase, and it became darker and darker.

Almost at the same time, Bob and Hosea stopped.

"D-1667, keep going!"

"D-1668, check around!"

Esther gave the order again.

"Why is it always me?"

Bob, who was thin, bespectacled, and had a slightly gloomy face, muttered.

The gray-haired Hosea smiled.

"The next one won't be better."

Hosea said.

"May you not die a good death!"

Bob gave Hosea a middle finger and began to walk down the stairs.

The two are not friendly relations, they are just 'prisoners' in different 'cells', waiting to be released after completing this mission.

To some extent, it can even be regarded as a competitive relationship.

Because, in this mission, there can only be 1 person who can be pardoned.

If he could, Bob wanted Hosea dead.

Hosea?

It's the same.

So, Hosea looked at Bob's back and spat on the ground.

Esther didn't see all this, but the sound was enough for him to know what was happening, but he didn't stop it.

D-Class, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, he'll be forgiven.

After all, it's consumables.

For the rest of the day, Esther watched the movements of the two D-Class personnel through the screen.

Hosea was searching in a modest way, while Bob was looking for something worth noting.

By the time Bob stepped down the staircase, the bright headlamps had not only dimmed a lot, but the range of light was much less, only a narrow area in front of him.

And, more importantly, the stairs in front of you all seem to be the same.

Each floor has 13 steps and a 3-meter semi-circular platform that can continue down after rotating 180° on the platform.

Ten floors have been walked down, and each floor is the same.

Esther found out.

Bob, who walked in it, naturally also found out.

He swallowed, but he kept going.

And just as Bob passed by the semi-circular platform this time, his steps suddenly stopped.

"D-1667, move on."

Esther commanded.

"Didn't you hear, sir?"

"There's a child's cry!"

Bob reflected truthfully.

A child's cry?

Esther frowned, he didn't hear what Bob said, and after adjusting the instrument, he didn't hear it.

"Are you sure?"

"Is he still there?"

Esther asked, switching the channel to the headset of one of the Task Force members.

"Yes!"

"It's clear!"

Bob replied.

The member of the task force shook his head, making sure he hadn't heard.

"D-1667, move on."

Esther said.

Bob continued on, and as he passed another platform, Esther heard a faint voice 'Please' 'Help me' 'Come down'.

The members of the mobile team next to him also confirmed this.

"D-1667, can you still hear this voice?"

Esther asked.

"Yes, sir!"

Bob replied in the affirmative.

"Keep going, and stop if you encounter an abnormality."

Esther said, moving forward with Bob's first-person perspective on the screen.

The child's voice in the headset was still indistinct, and it didn't seem to get any closer to Bob's progress, while the darkness around him seemed to be getting thicker.

Bob's breathing began to rapid.

The sound was clear to Esther.

"Sir, I feel something is wrong."

"Sir, I beg to return."

"Sir......

Bob spoke very quickly, but before Bob could finish speaking, the voice stopped abruptly.

“D-1667？”

“D-1667？”

"Please answer!"

"How's it going?"

Esther asked questions repeatedly, but did not answer at all.

Judging from the screen, Bob is still in the first angle of standing, there is no higher or lower, and there is no left and right offset, Bob should still be standing.

It's just that he stands like a statue, motionless.

And just as Esther continued to call Bob, a face suddenly pressed against the camera that Bob was carrying, completely presenting the whole picture on the screen.

It was a human-like face, but 'he' had no mouth, nostrils, or pupils, just a face with dull eyes, staring straight at Esther off-screen.

Esther's heart tightened.

Breathing is a little slower.

The members of the surrounding mobile team subconsciously raised their guns.

But the next moment, the face was gone.

Cameras are also consumed.

The screen goes black.

Esther frowned, staring at the pitch-black screen, pausing for a second, then saying, "D-1667, list expunged." ”

"Sir! Sir! ”

"I've found something!"

Just as D-1667's list was expunged, Hosea, D-1668, suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention and looking at another screen.

There, on the otherwise solid walls, a downward corridor appeared.

"D-1668, debrief."

Esther said.

"There's also a secret door here, which should be what we're looking for, and the staircase just now should be a trap."

Hosea truthfully reported how he had found the secret door.

At the same time, he expressed pity for Bob and wished Bob safe - different channels, so that Hosea did not know what happened to Bob.

Of course, even if he knew, Hosea wouldn't care.

He would only be glad that he had survived and regained his freedom.

"Very well, D-1668, please explore the hallway in front of you."

Esther gave a new order.

"Yes, sir."

Hosea said, and saluted as if in a similar manner.

He's in a good mood.

Because, he knows, in this competition with Bob, he is still the winner.

That's how he is, he's going to win all the time.

There is both luck and experience.

As in front of him, experience had taught him that since what he was looking for was what he was really looking for, it should be safe here.

Still, Hosea had the necessary vigilance.

He slowly descended.

After walking for about 20 meters, suddenly there was a sound of gears turning in the wall on one side.

Click, click.

A row of two-finger-thick tubes suddenly appeared on the dark, smooth walls on either side, from which a distinctively smelly liquid was gushing out.

"Hydrochloric acid!"

Hosea instantly judged what the liquid was, and he nimbly pulled back a few steps to dodge the spray, but the spray of hydrochloric acid did not stop.

It doesn't seem to be a trap, but a ...... In the drawing?

Hosea made a preliminary judgment.

"D-1668 debriefing."

"Sir, there's a row of pipes here, it seems to be pumping hydrochloric acid, I haven't detected the end of the corridor, I should be in a central position, what's inside, I can't be sure for the time being."

Hosea reported in detail.

And just as he was reporting, the hydrochloric acid that was pumped out of nowhere was getting bigger and bigger.

Even Hosea, dressed in protective clothing, had to retreat to the entrance.

He didn't go far, for, as soon as he came to the entrance, the hydrochloric acid that had accumulated so much as if it were storing water in the pond was gone.

"I think there's a drain on the ground that I don't know about!"

Hosea speculated.

Then, he prepared to continue into the hallway.

But at this moment, where the strong headlamp could not shine, a low roar came-

Roar!

Hosea didn't react at all, and the whole person was knocked into the air.

A tremendous force crushed Hosea's body.

also destroyed all the equipment, looking at the pitch-black screen, Esther shouted without hesitation: "Alert! ”

He didn't see anything, but what happened to Hosea was enough to tell him that something had 'escaped' from that hallway!

And his instincts told him that it was something terrible!

Because, he felt an unprecedented crisis.

Unconsciously, Esther tightened her grip on the gun.

It's not just Esther who feels this way.

The same goes for the members of the Mobile Unit.

After they shouted in Esther, they immediately dispersed, staring nervously at the dark corridor one by one, and one of the members, after receiving the captain's order, threw a flare directly at the dark corridor in front of them.

Bang!

Under the glow of the flares, the darkness was dispelled.

The monster that escaped finally revealed its true face.

Is that......

A big lizard!
