After a short rest, the crowd marched again.

Due to the peculiarity of this mutation, Aske didn't mention anything about the detachment again, and let the team reunite into one.

At the same time, similar ** also erupted around other mercenary groups.

These mysterious imposters, sometimes pretending to be mercenary members who are fully operational, and sometimes pretending to be other mercenary groups who know each other well, lure the deceived team to a nearby location.

Once you choose to believe in these imposters, the subsequent fate is disappearance.

Mysteriously missing.

Of course, after all, within the transcendent mutation, the vast majority of mercenaries naturally do not trust others easily.

It's okay to pretend to be a member of your own family, but if you pretend to be another mercenary group you know, most mercenary groups will keep an eye on it, such as only letting scouts follow you to investigate.

So the scout disappeared and never returned, so that the mercenary group, who realized that they had been deceived, immediately jumped to their feet.

Whether it's realizing that the imposters are fake, or simply believing that they have been deceived by a "group of friends", within a few hours, the mercenary groups have become extremely vigilant and will no longer trust any humans they encounter in the town.

The Azure Sword Mercenary Group, and the Free Wind Mercenary Group led by Captain Matthews, who had dealt with each other last time, met in such a scene.

"Hey, isn't this the head of Matthews?" As soon as he turned the corner, he took a photo with Matthews and the others, and Aske immediately recognized the regimental commander and said in surprise.

"Are you ......" Matthews remained silent, keeping the people under his men on alert, and at the same time quickly recalled, and finally remembered who the uninvited guest in front of him was, "You are the leader of the Pale Sword Mercenary Regiment last time, Lord Asker?" ”

"It's the Azure Sword." Aske said lightly, "Captain Matthews, this mutation is very wrong. Did you find anything over there? ”

"Discovery? Not at the moment. Matthews pretended to be authentic, "We came all the way, and luckily we didn't encounter any monsters. ”

"Oh." Knowing that the other party didn't want to reveal the clues that the monster corpse had wizard stones on it, and was also trying to hide the impostor, Asker shook his head with a smile and planned to leave with the team.

"Captain Asker, you said that this mutation is wrong, what is going on?" Matthews saw that the other side had the intention of leaving, and immediately asked out loud.

The warriors of the wind of freedom are ashamed to hear that. He did not disclose any useful information to the other party, but tried to extract favorable information from the other party, and the head of the regiment was simply cunning.

"Ah, like you, we didn't encounter any monsters along the way, so I thought it was a little strange." Asker said with a smile.

I believe you're a ghost! Matthewston roared inwardly.

They also killed six or seven humanoid monsters along the way, and they didn't find that although these monsters were not strong in attack, they were extremely difficult to fight with hard skin and thick blood. Coupled with the previous imposters**, it is even more impossible to take this mutation lightly.

The leader of this Azure Sword, Asker, actually wants to deceive us that this mutation is very simple? Shameless, so shameless, you must condemn him in your heart.

"That's right." Matthews smirked, "Indeed, according to the scouts under Duke Carinthia before, the inhabitants of the town seem to have turned into monsters, why didn't we encounter any of them when we came in?" Things do get a little weird. ”

"After all, though, we have an employment contract with the Duke of Carinthia." "So we still have to find the root cause of this anomaly before we can completely solve it." ”

"That's right." Matthews said, "In that case, let's not bother much." ”

"Let's go to the right." Asker said.

"Let's go to the left." Matthews said.

So the two mercenary groups parted ways again, and from beginning to end, neither of them said anything like cooperation.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two mercenary groups met head-on again.

Matthews et al: ???

The Green Sword Everyone: ???

"There's something wrong with this environment." Aske said calmly, "First of all, we have been walking forward just now. Secondly, this intersection is the same one we met before, at least in terms of our surroundings. ”

"So do we." Matthews said, "I didn't turn around, I kept going, and I ended up back here." ”

Faced with this strange situation like ghosts hitting the wall, the two mercenary groups were a little confused, and they couldn't help but cast their vigilant eyes on the other side.

"I have a guess." Aske said, "This mutation deliberately lured our two mercenary groups together, perhaps to lure us into killing each other. ”

"That's right." Matthews said, "Of course we won't be fooled. ”

You won't be fooled, so why do you keep holding the hilt of your sword in your right hand? The girls looked at Matthews as if they were about to be a great enemy, and they were speechless.

"Then let's turn right this time." Asker said.

"We're going in the opposite direction." Matthews said.

So the two mercenary groups turned their backs again. Asker took a bullet out of his bag and threw it on the ground.

Ten minutes later, the two mercenary groups met again.

All:..................

"The last time we separated, I dropped a bullet on the ground." Askeryo said.

"Did you see any bullets on the ground?" Matthews asked the crowd behind him.

The mercenaries of the Winds of Freedom looked down and said they didn't see any bullets.

"In other words, although the environment is exactly the same, we haven't actually returned to the original position." Asker said.

"What does that mean?" Matthews asked cautiously.

"It shows that we are not taking a closed circular route, but that there is some special force that forcibly combines the routes of our two mercenary groups." Asker said.

"Is it like a Möbius belt?" "We walked along the front, and they walked along the back, only to come together unexpectedly because the distorted space connected our routes. ”

"I don't know what a Möbius belt is." Matthews frowned and said, "But since there is a supernatural power at work, then even if we are separated again, it will only be a repetition of the phenomenon ten minutes ago." ”

"In that case, let's go together for the time being." Aske said calmly.

Matthews nodded.

So the two mercenary groups converged and chose a random direction to move forward.

The Green Sword walked along the left side of the road, and the Wind of Freedom followed the right side of the road, keeping a distance of about 10 meters from each other, and it was self-evident that they were wary of each other.

After another ten minutes, everyone saw several corpses lying in the middle of the road in front of them.

One of them, covered in blood and seemingly not completely dead, heard footsteps in front of him, and suddenly struggled to stand up in a pool of blood.

After seeing the appearance of the person who came, the man suddenly showed a look of disbelief, pointed at Aske and shouted:

"You! You are a fake! Pretend to be me...... You! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Asker drew his sword and stabbed it cleanly through the creature's heart.

The mercenaries in the back looked at the corpse in horror.

The young man who had fallen back into a pool of blood and had been killed by Asker looked exactly like Asker.
