Time flies quickly, because of Ike's arrival, the superiors of the Support Section are very considerate to let Theo go on vacation for three days, and after having a good time at the Missy Theme Park, the Support Section is back to its busy state. The police officers, who were already short of manpower, became even busier after Theo rested. On her first day back, Theo was immersed in intense work. Except for getting off work at night, I rarely spend time with Ike and them during the day. It's not that Ike doesn't want to, in order to let Theo choose his own path, maybe this kind of work is more suitable for Theo.

"How's it going?"

"Well, everything is ready. This Cross Bell's network is quite complete, and it only needs to be used by sneaking in. In a certain underground space, Ling answered while operating the terminal, and the huge screen in front of her scrolled with strings of symbols and numbers that Ike didn't recognize, but it was unusually simple in Ling's opinion. Soon after, a huge map appears on the screen, with intricate passages stacked on top of each other, forming an underground space that envelops the entire length of Crossbell.

"Hey, that's amazing." Ike looked at the map in amazement, if nothing else, the scope of this underground space was too large, even as a resource to supply the whole city, it was unusually large, and even the king of Liber was far from it. The huge underground space extends through countless large and small passages to each of the large buildings and districts.

"Ling, who built this space?"

"From the very beginning of the city's existence, but as the city expanded, so did the underground space, and the most recent expansion seems to have been built and invested by IBC." Ling called up the corresponding resources and replied after browsing.

"IBC is really rich. The investment in this area is a fraction of what they want to do with their sponsorship.

"It's Ike's statement that's too much of a threat." Ling said.

"Threaten him to give them all, then it will be even harder to ask for them." Ike stalled: "After all, the merchant still needs profit to be able to make him act. ”

"What's next?" Ling asked.

"Well, let's mark the big passages leading to the streets." Ike replied, looking at the passage that Ling quickly marked out the color, and silently remembered for a moment. Then he nodded slightly to make a note of it. "I'm going to go to the Guerrilla Association later, let's go together."

"Are you going to find Istelle?" Ling's eyes lit up, and she jumped down from her chair in one fell swoop, her two pearl-like eyes shining and looking full of interest.

To be honest, Ike knew that he would probably see him again soon, but he didn't expect to see him so soon. As I learned a few days ago, it seemed that Estelle and the others were coming to Crossbell sooner than she was. I don't know what the reason is, since they are here, it is nothing to meet in person, and the most important thing is that although I don't plan to get involved in the guerrilla association here, as far as intelligence is concerned, it is definitely not a bad thing to have one more intelligence channel. After making up her mind, Ling quickly locked the terminal and left the terminal room together.

The bustling East Block is full of shops, and East Street, which exists as a market, is never short of bustling crowds and all kinds of shouting and bargaining sounds. There are all kinds of shops along the way, especially when the festival season is approaching, and all kinds of goods are pouring into this new XC city as if they don't need money.

Ike is a good tourist, at least in terms of his performance. The distance of just a few hundred meters has already allowed him to carry all kinds of food. There is no city that will refuse tourists who spend heavily, especially some guys who simply won't bargain. Just look at the enthusiastic merchants on his side.

The two of them walked almost all the way to the Guerrilla Association, and under the vermilion building with an oriental atmosphere, a guerrilla plaque hung in the bustling bazaar, which looked a little out of place compared to the noisy shops opposite.

"I really chose a strange place." Ike looked at the exits and passages at both ends. The mayor is a smart man, but has he ever wondered if the guerrilla association would implicate the market in the event of an incident in the empire? After thinking about it for a moment, Ike shook his head imperceptibly, this was not something he could manage, and he didn't want to care about it at all. After looking at the large plaque, he turned around and walked to the entrance to the side of the building, and from the breath it seemed that there was only one liaison inside the guerrillas, but this room had two familiar atmospheres. For Ike, who is accustomed to sensing others with his breath, perhaps the feeling is more trustworthy than the eyes.

Sure enough, entering the building through the side entrance, the building appears to be an apartment, with the exception of the guerrilla association, and the noise of children and the strong aroma of children are constantly heard from the rooms on the first floor. Discerning the sounds coming from each room, Ike walked to the door of the room on the left side of the second floor. The door wasn't closed, and Ike preferred to believe that Estelle had forgotten to close the door than to know that someone was coming, because you couldn't associate the swaggering Estelle with the ability to tie the head to insight. Unsurprisingly, a moment later, Joshua's voice was heard urging Estelle to close the door.

The door was kicked open by the standard bandit's footwork, and Ike walked in with a big grin, looking at the two men who had already grabbed their weapons and were stunned when they saw him, he took out a tomato from the bag and smashed it at Estelle's head.

"Smack!"

"What are you doing here!" Estelle exclaimed, exasperated, that the explosion had not hit her head, but had been reflexively struck with a stick. Ike's training has paid off, and now she's moving faster than her brain. I don't know if this is good or bad. But apparently this is a bad habit at this time, forgetting that the secret weapon is a tomato, she splashed the juice of the ripe tomato. Her work can be found everywhere from the wall to the floor.

"I'm training you." "Good, you're stronger now." ”

"You'll be sure to help clean up." Estelle's gloomy eyes startled Ike, when did this guy have this momentum? After Joshua's whispered reminder, it seemed that she had just finished cleaning and was opening the room to ventilate and dry.

glanced at Ling without a trace, and while Ling and Estelle were fighting, Ike quickly took Joshua out of the arena.

"Although I thought Ike would be here, but I didn't expect to guess correctly, we thought you would go to the empire first." On the roof of the apartment, Joshua replied, "Didn't you say you were going to the Empire to meet with Olivet?" ”

"That's not in a hurry, anyway, it hasn't started yet, and besides, you can skip classes even if school starts." Ike replied indifferently, "You should have met with Theo, right?" ”

"yes, it was hard work to convince Estelle to give up letting her be her sister." Joshua smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye." ”

"Let's not talk about that, you should be a guerrilla subordinate to Crossbell now, right?" Ike asked.

"Huh? Yes, after all, we plan to stay here for a while. Joshua nodded inexplicably, "What's wrong?" ”

"I need intelligence and information from the Guerrilla Association." Ike spoke earnestly.

“。。。 Did something happen? Joshua's eyes showed solemnity, and the man in front of him asked himself so seriously that he had to make Joshua think badly.

"Don't tell Estelle, she can't keep a secret, the snake guys are here." Ike replied.

“！！！”

“。。。 What do they want to do? Joshua spoke slowly, shocked.

"Hey, I guess I want to re-write Liber's story." Ike sneered, "This municipality,It seems that there is that too... ”

“。。。 How do you know? ”

"I don't need to know, because the apostles know better than me where there will be traces of the Arcana, so as long as you follow them, sooner or later you can see the shadow of the Arcana." Ike shook his head, "And there seem to be some rather complex forces in this city. Ike silently glanced in the direction of the harbor, then withdrew his gaze. He didn't answer Joshua any more, and hurried down the roof.
