Chapter 87: Infiltration
The next day, as had been said at the previous meeting, at this moment, according to Riveria's speculation, was ......
Alan and Frémi easily found the entrance to the prison.
Now, they were just one step away from the crater-like entrance. However, the time has not yet been waited for.
So they had to remind each other again and again to be patient. After all, even if you are in a hurry now, it will not help......
"After that, if we succeed in achieving our goal this time, do you think that Ozman guy will be angry?"
In order to relieve the atmosphere of boredom, Frémi took it upon himself to stir up the topic.
Alan looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Now you know we're going to succeed this time? Random flags can have the opposite effect. ”
In the blink of an eye, he was so confused by Allen's words that he didn't know how to pick up-
"Is it the same as the same place as you always have?"
So he couldn't think of a good reason to refute it, so he could only accuse viciously.
"I'm telling the truth at best. And maybe it's just a trap. ”
"I said you, do you know that there is a saying called happiness and sorrow?"
- Boring to the point, this guy is sometimes a place that is so annoying.
"Before we even started executing the plan, you had the worst-case scenario in mind. What kind of habit is this—"
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "to grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige".
However, the possibility of what he says is a real possibility. Frémi is still very clear about this.
But now that he has made up his mind, he would rather believe in the strength of the two of them than to think about the "probability of failure"!
What is "teamwork"? That's basically it.
- It's not the strongest, but it's enough to deal with most enemies.
What Allen lacks is undoubtedly this optimism. On the contrary, in Allen's eyes, Frémi's is simply conclusive evidence of "blind confidence".
However, it is precisely because of this that the two can complement each other just right. And cooperate with each other just right.
This kind of thing, at this moment, the two of them know better than anyone else. Of course, such characteristics are not limited to the two -
It should be said that all the people of the Knights Templar possess similar qualities, right?
"Hey, it's almost-"
Under Allen's reminder, the two quietly dived underwater. It didn't take much effort to find the entrance.
At the same time, it also heralds the official start of the action!
I have to say that the lack of guards around is really a good help.
Thanks to this, the two came to the interior in the fastest and shortest time.
However, this is just the beginning, and they will have to find a way to overcome this prison that seems to have only an entrance but no exit!
That being said, however, according to Riveria's drawings, the building of the prison appeared to be more like a labyrinth at the moment.
Then, when their eyes finally adjusted to the light inside, what appeared in front of them was a ground floor that resembled a bell tower.
Similar to the "Clock Tower".
In other words, if this is the beginning of this moment, then the two of them must find a way to reach the end that is still far away.
And the whole process, obviously, it will not be smooth sailing.
Even more so if that Ozman guy already knew someone had infiltrated!
"Listen, you may encounter all sorts of agencies when you go inside, take precautions-"
"What kind of mechanism is it?"
What people didn't expect was that Riveria could only face everyone with a wry smile at this moment.
Because if those organs were to be spoken one by one, they might not be able to finish talking about them for three days and three nights.
It was for this reason that she had to decisively bow her head and apologize as the original designer-
"If I had known that this prison would be an obstacle for us by now, I would not have made the decision to design it. I'm sorry—"
Her apology was undoubtedly genuine.
However, you can also see how much she blames and is ashamed, and at this moment she is also ashamed of her powerlessness.
"You don't have to blame yourself. After all, no one can predict what the future will happen without a prophet—"
"Well, if this kind of thing could have been predicted at that time, it would be scary enough!"
Stella undoubtedly shares the same opinion as Fremi and Allen.
However, having said that, there is no way to change the fact that the two people who are about to carry out the plan are causing trouble. ——
"If that's the case, don't worry. After all, if you can accomplish your plan with a swagger......"
"To be honest, we don't feel motivated."
Frémi grabbed ahead of Eren in an instant and said something like this—
"This kind of thing of slapping a swollen face and making a fat person is exempt now, right?"
As a result, in the blink of an eye, Stella revealed the truth as if she were merciless.
"Who doesn't know that you may not be able to help in most cases."
She said.
In an instant, Frémi was as if he was terminally ill -
"Is it necessary to say this?"
Suddenly, he even became unconfident in rebuttal.
"Don't be so easy to get lost...... At best, I'm just trying to remind you to be cautious. ”
As a result, in the blink of an eye, she was instantly resurrected because of her words-
"Isn't this guy's emotionality too obvious?"
Whatever the answer is, he's such a person. And on that basis, the importance of this task is fully recognized......
If that's all there is to Frémi, Frémi has to thank Stella—
There's no way he's really saying thank you to Stella, though. As a result, the two used to raise each other's bars often.
Sometimes even Alan can't solve the conflict between the two of them-
Although he knew that it was only to the extent of talking to each other......
Unlike Frémi, however, Stella sometimes prefers to be more serious.
But this is also due to her straightforward and unyielding character. So, the only one who is usually taught by Alan is Frémi.
"Commander, are you too biased?"
As a result, such protests can always be heard from time to time. Whenever this happens, Alan will always come up with a seemingly "seamless" argument to find a way to keep Fremi speechless.
For example-
"Don't be like a child." Etcetera.
So now both of them are much more restrained than they were then. But even so, Stella still looks prickly.
"Also, the pathways in the prison change every once in a while, and I really can't help you reproduce that—"
"Huh?!"
In an instant, before Riveria could finish speaking, Fremi couldn't bear it on the spot—
"If you say you can't do it, what are we going to do then?!"
Faced with his helpless and innocent questioning, Riveria could only say-
"It is possible to find the right way out from memory."
However, even at this moment, when I think about it, I feel that it is perfunctory.
"By memory, by memory?"
In an instant, this answer once again stunned everyone. Because it's almost impossible to find the right route with this method!
In other words, Rivilia is probably the only one who can do this.
Neither Alan nor Fremi had such a superb, unbelievably strong memory. So after listening to it, it is a matter of course......
Someone directly retreated-
"Turning your face is faster than turning a book, who is it that is full of energy until just now!?"
Of course, no one would have agreed to such a request to him so far. Among them, the most merciless accusation is Stella-
"Since you promised it yourself, you will carry it out for me to the end now?!"
"Do you have any shame for going back on your word like this......"
As a result, even she felt a little exhausted as she spoke—and yet Frémi said nothing at this point that she was reluctant to go.
Until he was dragged out of the door by Stella without saying a word-
"Less nonsense, hurry up and do it for me!"
"Got it, got it!? Please don't pluck your ears——! ”
In this way, on the premise that he understood that he was now difficult to ride a tiger, he had to set off with Allen.
On the way, of course, there were many complaints with Alan about Stella's various inconsistencies.
"Seriously, who's the kid......"
Therefore, Alan couldn't help but let out such an exclamation in his heart.
"Alas......"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Even now, Fremi still let out such an inexplicable sigh from time to time.
After all, the deeper you go, the more you feel like you don't know what's going to happen......
And in such an environment, there is no doubt that it is the most suitable for ambushes and surprise attacks. - If you really face such a situation, can you really cope with it by yourself and Allen?
Although he has a considerable degree of confidence in his own strength and that guy.
However, I really don't dare to jump to conclusions when I don't know what enemies I will encounter.
Because if there are enemies lurking all around now, and they are ready to rush at any time, then it is really a very tricky situation.
However, no similar situation has arisen until now.
However, the footsteps of the two were unconsciously amplified clearly. - Because of the echo. And at this very moment......
Something activated, right on the wall as if it were within reach!
Immediately afterwards, even though both of them raised their mental vigilance, the strange thing was that the enemy still did not appear.
But something did make a noise just now!
"Be careful, this might be the mechanism the professor is talking about—"
That's right, the mechanism that was supposed to be used against the enemy is now showing its vicious side to Alan and Frémi!
It doesn't get any worse than this moment in the moment!
As soon as the words fell, the two of them felt that their trouser legs were wet?
"I didn't say you...... Alan, even if the mechanism is activated...... You don't need to be scared of pee, do you? ”
“......”
In an instant, Alan was made to cry and laugh by him, and on top of that, he was so angry that he didn't know how to explain it to him-
"Pee, you ghost, how could there be such a thing!"
Anyway, let's just say that. But someone next to him wasn't listening! That's what makes him feel helpless the most.
However, it didn't take long for the two to figure out why this was happening...... This organ may have something to do with "water"—
The guy who was so happy until just now immediately made a very reliable guess.
"That is?"
"In other words, that Ozman guy might be trying to drown us."
After listening to his speculation, although a little shocked. However, Alan still couldn't help but believe such a seemingly unsubstantiated speculation.
And if this situation is left unchecked, it may really evolve into that!
So you have to think of a way -
"Otherwise, how about just swim over?"
"You're talking about...... That tour? ”
Or else?
There is no other way out than to figure out how to deal with the water before the water rises to the chest level! So—
If you still can't do anything by then, you'll have to try swimming to the second exit!
"There's no way, just do it, right?"
"Hmm!"
However, just as they were about to act, the path in front of them changed in the blink of an eye!
And that change only happens in a split second......
It's like it starts quietly and ends in the blink of an eye! In other words, there is simply no time or leeway for people to remember.
But because it was warned in advance, such a change was not unexpected-
"Do you remember the original line?"
Faced with Alan's question, Fremi naturally nodded confidently! ——
"Come with me!"
At this time, Alan also followed with a sigh of relief! At this time, he was really grateful and grateful to have such a companion by his side.
It's because of Frémi by his side that he doesn't have to be in a hurry at this time-
Sure enough, it's not too right to insist on one person all the time. Thank you......
In an instant, the two of them saw that at the end of the snake-shaped passage, there was a stone gate that weighed like a thousand pounds! That's undoubtedly the export!
But it's slowly closing!
This means that if they don't arrive before that, the two will be trapped at the bottom floor. Eventually drowned and become a senseless corpse!
"Hurry up!"
How could that kind of thing make it a reality?!
So, even if it's barely - catch up with me!!
So, we both do our best to avoid the worst! Finally, at the last moment, I came to the second floor!
And at this moment, even if you want to turn back, it is impossible to do so. So, at this moment, the two have no choice-
There is no other way but to keep going. Because...... So far, the way back has been blocked.
Even if there is really a passage that can be turned back, the bottom layer has already become a sea at this time, right?
So even if there is a way to turn back, it doesn't make sense anymore -
At the moment of making a choice, there is no room for reversal. Originally, this incident was accompanied by such danger all the time.
"Whew, it's finally -"
However, just as the two wanted to take a breath in unison, they found that they had already been targeted by countless arrows slowly extending from the surrounding stone walls!
And it's just as pointless to count the numbers at this time!
"Run! Otherwise, you'll be tied into a beecomb! ”
In an instant, with Allen's order, the two began to move as closely as possible along the route that Riveria had drawn for them—
However, by this time they seem to have forgotten an obvious fact......
That is, the path is not set in stone – that is, what was originally the "right answer" can become a "dead end" in an instant!
In the end, Alan was forced to be a decoy alone, constantly moving around in a limited space to attract those arrows......
At the same time, let Fremi find a way to remember the change...... The right line!
For this reason, he is even more agile; No matter how fast you react, you can't avoid injury......
And that's after blocking the vast majority of the arrows that hit you!
"Alan!? Doesn't it matter? ”
“......”
However, his current state obviously cannot be summed up as "okay". But even at such a great cost, the prison changes show no signs of stopping!
"I'm fine...... But you, have you written it down? ”
Then, Frémi, who didn't want to disappoint him, blinked his eyes and regained his strength—
"Please give me some more time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to concentrate again......
I try to reproduce in my mind the deviation of each change from the original one that did not change, and then try to reduce them......
And try to simulate the route that is most likely to be close to the "right answer" by comparison!
That's right, although Alan never specifically emphasized it, but to be honest, this guy's memory-
If you get it seriously, it's also very powerful!
It's not as good as Riveria's, but if it's a "moment" memory......
So this guy at this moment shouldn't lose to anyone, right?
"Follow me!"
So, this time, relying on his admirable memory again, the two of them came to the third layer without danger!
"Wait, I'll help you with your wounds first-"
It was only then that Alan noticed that he was carrying even this - a first aid kit.
"You're even ready for this?"
"What is the so-called preparedness? Is there something wrong? ”
No, there are no problems at all –
It's better to say that I'm always scared by Frémi's "thoughtful" considerations.
"No, I'm just a little surprised. After all, it's impossible for an average person to carry this thing—"
"You mean I can't be that thoughtful?"
Therefore, at this moment when he was completely seen through, Alan could only admit it honestly......
"No, that's not what I meant—"
Don't explain it, it's just getting darker and darker, right?
Excuse me, Frémi's gaze seemed to say so. So......
"I'm sorry, I didn't want you to get hurt-"
Wait, why would you apologize?
Suddenly, the two of them became like they were apologizing.
"Really, what the hell is going on-"
Immediately afterward, they all had the same idea. Isn't that a tacit understanding?
Tacit understanding? Can this really be called tacit understanding?
"Then please—"
If there is any merit in Allen, it is probably honesty and ...... That face that has to make people jealous.
In other words, his face is similar to the appearance of "Prince Charming" that only appears in fairy tales.
But unexpectedly, casually in such a trivial matter. ——
"This kind of thing, how can you just leave it alone! Alright, well, shut up and sit down! ”
"Yes......!"
