Heavily guarded
Being able to breathe fresh air again is obviously something worth celebrating for Yu Siqi, who has been stuffed in the stilted building for a few hours.
However, considering their current situation, Yu Siqi thought about it and felt that it was better to forget it.
Although they were lucky, when they appeared here, there were no nasty eyes nearby.
But that doesn't mean they can let their guard down, after all, this is the command center of the entire barracks. Even if a few guards emerge from the blind spot of his vision that he has never been aware of, it is all reasonable.
So, he could only stand there cautiously and force himself to try not to make any noise.
You must know that any accident that may arise is actually caused by people's carelessness.
It's just that when Yu Siqi was still so 'restrained' to restrain himself, others seemed more relaxed.
Even Shi Yizhe himself, who has always been more 'cautious', walked around them without any worries. And from time to time he gives a few words of praise, and the general content of them is almost all related to the praise of the priest.
Seeing this, Yu Siqi felt for a moment, 'Maybe I'm too serious'.
But the more feeling is that these people don't take the word 'hidden' too seriously.
As if noticing some of Yu Siqi's personal thoughts, Father An smiled at him and asked in a low voice, "Why did you lose the 'due smile' on your face from the beginning?" β
"I don't really want to laugh, or maybe it's not the time to laugh."
Yu Siqi did not directly explain his 'true situation' to Father An, nor did he deliberately show his 'anger'.
"The way you look when you're serious reminds me of a person. His name was Roki, and he was a member of the clergy with me. As soon as Father An opened his mouth to tell a story to Yu Siqi, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll keep this story and tell you later, I seem to smell it." β
After finishing speaking, Father An motioned for Yu Siqi to squat down with him. With the help of the fence and sandbags in front of them, they seemed to be able to hide their figures underneath.
The premise is that the other party does not poke their heads out and look down.
After Gong Chen and Xie Chonggui heard this instruction, they also followed suit.
It was Shi Yizhe, who whispered a word to the priest and disappeared.
It didn't take long for Yu Siqi, who was hiding behind the sandbag, to clearly hear the footsteps that were close at hand.
A neat line of footsteps, without a trace of confusion. The subtle vibration of the soldiers' boots against the ground was even pleasant
There is no doubt that this should be the troops who came to patrol the camp.
It's thrilling. If it weren't for Father Ann smelling their scent in advance, he would have given a reminder. I'm afraid there's a good chance they'll be found out without doing anything! β
Seeing that the footsteps were getting closer and closer to them, Yu Siqi's mood that had finally relaxed became tense again.
At this moment, he has the illusion of hiding in the wardrobe when he was a child. It is possible to be found anytime and anywhere, and I am both nervous and excited.
In this way, Yu Siqi, who was bent on his waist, hid until the footsteps faded away, and then dared to poke his head out with the others with the acquiescence of the priest.
Although in hindsight, Yu Siqi had considered the situation more than once, maybe using time freezing would be a good solution.
But the priest still insisted on his personal opinion that he should try not to rely on 'time' unless absolutely necessary.
As the footsteps of the patrol team gradually moved away, Gong Chen, who poked his head out, asked tentatively, "What should we do next?" Won't you wait for the patrol to come back? β
"Of course not. See those big tents right in front of us? From my careful observation, I found that there were always four people standing guard in that place.
Considering the principle that only 'important locations' need to be taken care of, my personal guess is that this should be our 'destination'.
Because if Tatsuna's hypothesis is true, then the only place where we are most likely to find a communication device is there.
I've looked into other places and confirmed them. Even the material distribution office is not as 'heavily guarded' here. β
Father Ann pointed in the direction of about five or six hundred meters in front of them.
"Then what are we waiting for, go straight over! It just so happens that there is no one now. β
As soon as Gong Chen was about to turn over and step over the fence, he was grabbed by Xie Chonggui. The latter's sentence 'don't be impulsive' frightened the former.
"What's going on?"
Although Gong Chen was not very happy with his mouth, his body was still quite honest.
"I didn't pay much attention to it just now, but when the priest reminded me like this, I also found out." Xie Chonggui moved his fingers back and forth between the tents, and said, "Probably between the third and fourth tents, there is an artificially laid barrier. It's so stealthy that if someone like me isn't familiar with it, it's hard to detect it. β
"Ah Zhen can't find out?"
Yu Siqi asked subconsciously.
"My sister is more talented than me, but unfortunately she didn't put her mind to it. Maybe it was the knot in her heart back then that affected her. β
Xie Chonggui shook his head and said.
"So, the military itself has secretly cultivated a new enchantment division?"
Father Ann asked himself thoughtfully.
"How does the priest know that this isn't the Institution's Enchantment Master?"
Gong Chen asked with a suspicious expression.
"It's simple. If it's really someone from the institution, then someone in the stilted building will definitely inform us about this before we go.
I'm pretty sure they won't hide anything from us about this kind of thing.
Don't forget, if we miss, they will be more or less implicated.
Even if we consciously inform them in advance about the boundaries to be drawn. β
Father Ann said firmly.
"So what to do? If there is an enchantment, is there no way to break through easily? β
Yu Siqi, who only knew a little about this knowledge, used his half-baked understanding to get involved in this topic.
"As long as it's an enchantment, it can be broken. It's a pity that if we exert too much brute force, it is very likely that the people who planted the enchantment will be noticed.
I'm afraid that's another reason to put an enchantment on the other side. He knew that just a few soldiers on duty might not be able to guard against people with ulterior motives, but he could use other ways to fill the 'flaws' in this plan.
Really good at playing. β
Xie Chonggui said his thoughts very calmly.
"Isn't there any other 'gentle' way? For example, without breaking the barrier, make an opening for it so that we can get in. β
Yu Siqi knew that his question might sound a little 'naΓ―ve', but if he didn't ask, he would be very uncomfortable.
"If you're done analyzing that barrier, you'll be able to do the kind of 'way' you just mentioned. It's just a pity that it takes too much time.
If you're willing to wait here for a few hours, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. β
Xie Chonggui rolled up his sleeves and said with a leap.
"Forget it, it's too risky to stay in a place like this for a few hours."
Yu Siqi felt that it was very uneasy to continue to hide here, and it happened that the priest agreed with his idea.
"It's a good point, we can't always expect some sandbag fence to hide itself." Father Ann beckoned, and the boy who had been hiding behind them came over and said, "It's almost time to release the 'bait.'" β
