The appearance of the uninvited guest made Akeya's nerves tense quickly, and the pistol safety was pulled and pointed at the wooden door. Andora and Luna were a little confused, but they could imagine that this person must not be a savior. Dimmit was very calm, and handed the spirit finder to Leo.

"Hold it on."

He stepped forward, wrapped his brown coat, and spoke loudly to the other side.

"Sign up."

Baird smiled and dusted off his white coat.

"First meeting, everyone, I'm Baird Fern, the captain of the Black Army's Foreign Experimental Integration Team, please advise me in the future."

Sure enough, it was someone from the Black Army, and Akeya's finger rubbed on the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Baird's head. Leo handed the detector to Andora, took out the transmitter that Lynn had given him, and pressed the button.

"Andora, you and Luna go back."

"Luna?"

Leo's voice wasn't high, but it reached Baird's ears anyway.

"That lady, your name is Luna Saldo?"

Hearing her name, Luna subconsciously agreed.

"Yes, how do you know?"

Baird was a little surprised, a surprise to find something unexpected. As Videa interrogates Headley, he tries to figure out why Headley kidnapped Luna. Listening to Headley's answer, it seems that it is for some kind of human research project, which is more attractive than Istis, and can make Headley desperately betray the Black Army.

He only knew Luna's name, but had not met her. And now, the woman who fascinated Headley was right in front of her eyes.

The scientist's curiosity about the unknown churns in Baird's heart. But Dimmit's presence restrained him. People are not satisfied, and today's occasion is still based on spiritual detectors, and other things will be talked about later.

Ignoring Luna's questioning, Baird walked towards Dimmit.

"Let's get down to business, Dimmit, you know the purpose of my visit, right?"

"Of course, it can't be these broken stones, right?"

Dimmit snorted, his right hand was closed, and the light of the EXP was already clearly visible.

"Stop talking nonsense, let the horses come."

"Don't be in such a hurry. I'm not a warmonger like Rainnes, and I'm not a bad guy like Karui. As a scientist, I'm a pacifist. ”

While introducing himself, Baird paced into the stone sculptures and stood more than ten meters away from Dimet.

"Peace? That's embarrassing, what the superhumans want, only strife, no peace. ”

"Also, if you fight head-on, I'm afraid no one will be able to fight you."

"Now that you know, get out of here, and talk nonsense, it's not okay to break your arms and legs."

"Having said that, I came here anyway on order, how can I just leave? So Dimmit, how about we talk? ”

"What is there to talk about?"

Baird reached out with the hand in his pocket and spread it out to Dimmit.

"Based on the information in my hand, I guess you and those people behind you are just forming a temporary cooperative relationship, right? Because you're not good at mountaineering, you need their help, don't you? ”

"So what?"

"They were found by the Savior, and it is impossible for them to give you the Soul Finder. Even if it is given, it must come with conditions. But I'm not going to do that, so how about you make a contract with me? ”

"With you? Ha, do we have a reason to cooperate? ”

"You need a psychic weapon to find Istis, and so do we, isn't that the reason?"

"Just kidding. I'm going to destroy Istis. ”

"Yes, but all we want is Istis's stats. You know, Istis doesn't always stay in one place, but keeps moving, which makes it impossible to study for a long time, let alone practical. So we only record the data for future experiments, and then it doesn't matter how you want to destroy it. We don't interfere with river water, do we? ”

Baird expressed his opinion, but Dimmit did not reply, and fell silent. Leo thought to himself that it was not good, very bad. Dimmit is a bounty hunter, and the first thing that comes first is always profit. If he had been persuaded by Baird, they would not have been able to get out alive. Leo hurriedly stood up and retorted.

"Something has to come first, right? Dimmit has already negotiated with us, and we are not as mean as you say. ”

"He's teaming up with you just for the sake of the Soul Finder. Since there is a convenient way, why not choose it? Baird casually responded to Leo's words and turned to Dimmit, "We can provide any information you need, and it will only take a week or so to find Istis, and then you can say goodbye to years of wandering." Make a decision. ”

Baird's voice echoed through the cavern for a while, leaving a silence, a suffocating silence. All eyes were on Dimmit, waiting for Dimmit's decision. Andora tightened her grip on the Finder and hid behind the Count's stone sculpture with Luna, while Akya simply turned her gun on Dimitt.

"Your name is Baird, isn't it? Makes sense. ”

"So ......"

"But I'm sorry, I refuse your offer."

Baird's smile was gone, and his brain couldn't understand Dimmit's answer.

"Why?"

"Because I don't like what you do. In Siralda, that Karui's subordinate used a bullet that destroys the EXP structure, is that your masterpiece? ”

"Yes, I was the one who invented it, but he was the one who used it. You don't understand the truth that weapons are not to blame for murder, right? ”

"Of course I understand, but what I know even more is that you black forces must have a lot of anti-EXP weapons. Even mass-produced things such as bullets can be made for individual use, and more powerful anti-EXP weapons are definitely indispensable. Doing business with such a person really makes me feel uneasy. ”

As he spoke, Dimmit held out his thumb and pointed behind him.

"On the contrary, it is these people who make me feel more at ease. Even if they put forward any more conditions, they don't dare to be too outrageous. ”

Dimmit's words made Leo and the others also relieved, but they couldn't laugh or cry. The meaning of this is clearly that they are weak, easy to deal with, and more able to take advantage of negotiations.

"And, this guy is right," Dimmit continued, "and my pact with them is to protect them until they recover the Soul Finder. This situation cannot be considered a recovery yet, so the contract must continue. You're dead. ”

When it comes to this, there is no room for further talk. Baird wasn't angry either, and smiled lightly.

"Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, then I'll change the method."

"Want to come hard? Just what the doctor ordered. ”

"That's right."

In the back, Akeya suddenly heard a familiar voice, the sound of the helicopter's engine, the turning of the propeller, coming from outside the cave, very weak, but approaching, getting bigger. After increasing the volume to a certain level, it remains the same.

"Drop, go."

Baird pointed to the top of his head and said this, and then there was a loud noise from the top of the cave, and something was slamming down. The sound was deafening in the cave, the roof of the cave was partially broken, and the rubble rained down.

"Come all here!"

Dimmit shouted, and the others quickly gathered around him. Dimmit generates an EXP shield above his head, like an umbrella blocking raindrops, blocking falling rocks. The sound had not stopped, once, twice, and the third time was the loudest, and most of the roof of the cave was smashed off and turned into stones and fell. Five other objects fell, thrown from the transport helicopter hovering above the roof of the cave, and landed with a clattering sound, knocking down all the stone statues under their feet, and stirring up dust more than a man high.

When the dust receded, they were presented with five steel humanoid behemoths, three meters tall, covered in bright silver metal armor. The surface of the armor has pale green lines, flickering and flickering, almost occupying the entire body of these monsters. The head is a sci-fi helmet, like in the movies, with a black tactical eyepiece on the face.

That's right, like in the movies, this is what jumped into reality from the movies.

"Allow me, then, to introduce, my masterpiece."

Baird slowly walked among the five monsters, stroking the cold metal, like a loving father caressing his own child.

"To EXP individual tactical units, Demon Armor."

"You're right, EXP? That's all there is to it? ”

When these five guys hit the ground, Dimite sensed that the light on the surface of the armor was EXP, but it was not the active EXP of the super man, and it seemed to have been treated in a different way. As for the function, it is probably used to strengthen armor, or provide power.

If this is the only way, it will not pose any threat to yourself.

"You probably don't think a robot of this caliber is a threat, do you?" Baird spoke for Dimmit, "Well, let me show you its threat. ”

This sentence was equivalent to an order, and the eyepieces of the demon armor soldiers turned blue together, and their heads made a small but low buzzing sound, like a subwoofer, shaking their eardrums.

"What's that sound?"

Leo rubbed his ears, the subwoofer made his eardrum a little uncomfortable, but not so harsh, he quickly got used to it, and the others were fine, but when they looked at Dimmit, they were dumbfounded.

Dimmit's whole body glows, and the energy waves of active EXP are constantly escaping from every pore of the body, which is not an offensive or defensive skill, but a simple loss of energy. Dimmit covered his head with one hand, and he felt not only the vibration of his eardrums, but also the vibration of his brain.

"This voice can affect the power element?"

"No, no, no, it's not the sound that affects the power element," Baird explained seriously, "It's the anti-EXP wave released by the Demon Armor, and you hear the engine." This wave can impact the power element, causing the power element to loosen and lose its restraint on the active EXP. Ah, all the natural people in the back, you can rest assured that the anti-EXP fluctuations have no real effect on you, but just sound annoying. ”

"Anti-EXP Volatility ......"

Baird's words were not exaggerated, and Dimmit could feel it. He tried to condense the EXP in his hand as usual, but the formation was not a perfect circle, more like a ball of boiling water, and kept tumbling. Baird looked at Dimmit's embarrassed look and smiled smugly.

"Well, now you, whether it's shaping or transforming EXP, you can't do it easily, right? As long as you use active EXP through the power element, it will be accompanied by the loss of EXP. According to my calculations, your attacks will cost at least five times as much EXP as usual to complete, and the effect will be discounted. ”

After listening to Baird's introduction and seeing Dimmit's state, Leo knew that the situation was not good. In normal times, he would not hesitate to give up the spirit finder and retreat with his companions. But if he dares to do so now, Dimiit will immediately turn back. In this case, there is only one battle.

"Andora, you and Luna just hide there and don't get out, get out when you get the chance! Akya come with me and support Dimet! ”

"I don't need to!" Dimmit vetoed Leo's words, "You guys give me a cool side, I can do it myself!" ”

"I want to do the same, but no matter how you look at the other side, you won't let us go, right?"

"That's right, what this little brother said is reasonable." Baird echoed Leo's words, "He and Akya are both good fighters, please do your best so that I can collect better data." ”

He took a few steps back, his left hand spread, and the five fingers of his right hand pressed against the palm of his left hand.

"Now, the experiment begins."

*****

The demon armor soldiers who were ordered again switched to red with their eyepieces and their huge bodies moved and lined up in a posture of encirclement. Everywhere they went, stone statues were knocked down and smashed one after another, and a clearing was cleared. The armoured soldier in the center raised his arms, and the sides of the armour were spread out, and four barrels were drawn out of the gap, aimed at Dimmit.

"Interesting, it's just positive!"

Dimitt, who was still stubborn on his lips, forced his spirit, regardless of the impact of fluctuations, and insisted on filling his whole body with EXP, while doing his best to control the loss. He raised his hands and unfurled his shield. This time, the shield of light is not a complete wall like usual, but constantly diverging. Before it could take shape, the muzzle of the armorer opened fire.

When the bullet hits the light shield, it does not make a clanging sound, but a sound like electric sparks, and some bullets are blocked only after hitting the light shield. Add to this the fact that the caliber of almost 15 mm is reached, and it is already difficult for Dimiit to maintain the defense alone.

"Don't hold on! Use the stone statue as a cover! ”

Leo hides behind a stone statue and shouts at Dimmit, but Dimmit doesn't move. Leo could see that he could run, but he just didn't want to.

"Shut up! Get out of the way, and be careful not to fill your mouth with bullets! ”

Ignoring Leo's warning, Dimmit lifted one foot and stomped on the ground, sending out a powerful air current, rolling the gravel against the ground, squirting at the Armorer, crashing into its leg. The Armored Soldier's legs shook visibly, his body tilted, and his shooting stopped.

The wind swept up under the feet of Dimmit, leaned forward, and swooped down on the demon armor soldier with the power of the wind. The move from the Kalin just now, Dimmit is using it for adventure, and the effect is not ideal. There are fluctuations, and any long-range attack will be greatly reduced due to the inability to concentrate energy. If you want to deal a fatal blow to the enemy, you can only contact the enemy and use your body to directly punch the energy into it.

Seeing Dimmit charge, the other four demon armor soldiers also took action. Two of the nearer armoured soldiers rushed forward in a few steps, blocking their companions, their steel fists slamming into Dimmit. Seeing that he couldn't get close, Dimmit turned around, took off on the spot and dodged his fist, and the remaining two demon armor soldiers immediately unfolded their guns and fired a volley at Dimmit. Dimmit changed the direction of his flight, dodging bullets while firing back with light. But the power of this light was too weak, and the remaining three demon armor soldiers did not hide at all, and chased after Dimitt's attack. The light hit the armor, leaving only an inconspicuous trace.

"It's annoying!"

Dimmit was not a Karin after all, he didn't fly in the air for a long time, and with five times the consumption, it didn't take long for him to lose his strength and had to make a forced landing. The armoured soldiers who had fired stopped firing, and the other three had already chased after Dimmit. Two of them took turns throwing punches, and Dimmit dodged them one by one, and the last one took the opportunity to unfold his chest armor, and a Gatling gun protruded from it, firing wildly at Dimmit.

Fortunately, Dimmit noticed something, and the moment the muzzle of the gun was revealed, he jumped like a high jumper, dodging the fists of the two demon armorers. The moment Gatling fired, his feet erupted with air, and his body ejected before it was pierced by the bullet, and he pounced on the demon soldier who fired the shot, and in an instant, one hand pressed the barrel of the Gatling gun.

"Explode!"

Dimmit poured a large amount of flame into the barrel of the gun in one go, and a flower immediately exploded in the chest of the demon soldier, and the body toppled over, and the barrel of the gun was broken. With the air flow of the explosion, Dimmit flew towards the other demon, and without waiting for the opponent to react, he held down the demon's head with one hand and gave it a head-to-toe electrotherapy. But there was still an active demon armor soldier who rushed over and clenched his fist while Dimmit was concentrating on attacking.

With a bang, the fist didn't hit Dimmit, but hit a wooden knife, and Leo underneath the wooden knife, and he preemptively stopped the iron fist of the demon soldier. This punch didn't break the sandalwood dragon, but it made Leo's whole body sink into the ground, and the joints of his whole body suddenly tightened, and there was a sharp pain.

Dimmit also sensed the sneak attack behind him, kicked down the demonic soldier who was cooled by the electricity, and jumped towards the sneak attacker.

"Is that a wooden knife!?"

"That's right, do it!"

Then Dimmit pressed the head of the demon soldier, and with thousands of volts of voltage, he pressed the demon soldier to the ground. Leo also breathed a sigh of relief and shook the hand holding the knife. The two took a short break and went into battle again.

True, the battle is not over. Not to mention that there are still two intact demon armor soldiers on the periphery, and the three who were defeated only suffered some damage, not completely destroyed. They shook the ground a few times before they got back to their feet.

"Oh, that wooden knife...... Although it was mentioned in Raines's report, I didn't expect it to be so strong, which is a bit interesting. ”

Baird, who was watching the battle from a distance, didn't care at all about the damage to the demon armor, but Leo's sandalwood dragon made him interested and showed a sinister smile.

"And Dimmit, who can have such power in this kind of predicament. It's a good idea to attack machines with electricity and fire. However, according to his data analysis, his attack power should have been reduced to 1/35 of his current highest level, which can actually break the parts of the Demon Armor. ”

Baird muttered to himself, the five fingers of his right hand kept tapping on the palm of his left hand.

"It seems that the foot armor still needs to be strengthened, and the defense against electricity and fire is not enough. But if you continue to strengthen, you may lose more mobility, well......"

He was immersed in the new round of transformation plans of the Demon Armor Soldiers, and he did not find the slightest threat around him.

Just when Dimmit and Leo were fighting hard against the demon armor soldiers, Akeya was unaware, avoiding the sight of the demon armor soldiers, and quietly ran towards Baird with the help of the cover of the stone statue. By the end of the first round, he was already close to Baird, and the two were only two stone statues apart, about ten meters apart.

Akya had long seen that Baird's thin clothes basically didn't hide any weapons. Even if he had, he would be able to take out Baird before he could fight back. After Baird's order, the group of demonic armor soldiers changed the color of the eyepieces, and perhaps they were under Baird's unified control. Kill Baird, and even if the armor soldiers don't stop, they will be leaderless and turn into a plate of loose sand.

Now is the time!

Arkya drew her dagger and suddenly burst out from behind the statue, speeding up with both feet at the same time, heading straight for Baird. The distance quickly narrowed to five meters, and Baird also noticed that someone was sneaking up, and he turned his head. Arkya took a big step and jumped to his feet, his dagger aimed at Baird's throat and swept it through.

"Dang", the sound of metal clashing came. Instead of slitting Baird's throat, the dagger slashed at his right hand. But there was no bleeding from his hand, and Akeya couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hehe, come and take my head, this judgment is good. But you shouldn't act hastily until you find out the enemy's combat power, otherwise, it will be like this. ”

Baird's right hand suddenly bulged, and the wrapped skin was torn apart, revealing not flesh and bones, but a mechanical hand with a round muzzle in the palm of his hand, now facing Akeya!

Akeya was stunned by what he saw, but his instinctive reaction to the danger made him move, and he leaned back, and the bullet from Baird's hand flew in front of Akeya's eyes, and with a single shot, it punched a hole in the stone statue where Akya was hiding, and then opened a gap in his wrist and ejected the bullet casing. Akeya hurriedly rolled over, Baird's hand was aimed at him again, and the second shot was fired, and Akeya ran away, and the shot was missed. Baird's gun followed, shot after shot, and finally, the last bullet grazed Akya's leg. Akya pounced.

"Akeya! How are you? ”

Leo, who was busy dealing with the Demon Armor, noticed the accident in the distance and shouted loudly. He didn't hear Akeya's answer, perhaps Akeya's voice was too quiet, and the armor soldier was too loud. Leo couldn't figure out whether Arkya was alive or dead, and he was anxious. Behind him, Luna, who was hiding in the shadows, saw it, grabbed her suitcase and ran out of cover.

"Luna, what are you doing?" Andora shouted.

"I'm going to save Akya! It's still too late for treatment! ”

"Ah, really! It sucks! ”

Andora grumbles loudly and follows Luna, and the two run to Akeya's side in one go. Akeya clutched the bleeding wound on her left leg and groaned in pain. Luna opened the suitcase, and Andora blocked the two with her body, and he noticed that Baird was looking over, sneering, and shaking the mechanical hand. Andora broke out in a cold sweat and her breathing became a mess.

"I thought those magic armor soldiers were enough sci-fi, but I didn't expect you to like this set of things yourself."

"Of course, after all, I'm a scientist, a real scientist. For the sake of science, there must be dedication. Although the Demon Armor has a combat program, it still needs unified control and adjustment, and there are too many machines to adjust. In order to be able to use it at any time, I wondered if I could take the control system with me. ”

"So, you did it?"

"Yes, although it took a year, I finally transformed nearly half of my body and brought the control system of the Demon Armor Soldier with me, and forever. Of course, considering that someone would choose to kill me outright, I also added some weapons to defend myself. ”

"You're crazy!" Luna, who was treating Arkeya's wounds, listened to Baird's words, and the anger in her heart swelled even more, "It's a great disrespect to life to trample on your own body!" ”

Baird shook his head disappreciatively: "Great scientists are always not understood, it doesn't matter. It's good for you to watch the battle from the sidelines, I've already got my own data, and there's no point in killing you. ”

His gaze returned to the battlefield and continued to observe. On the other side, Dimmit and Leo were already showing fatigue, and the five demon armorers were also damaged, but they could continue to fight. The two sides have just finished the second round of confrontation and the confrontation has begun again.

"That's not going to work," Leo gasped, "and we're going to have to kill them all at once." ”

"I don't need you to talk nonsense, if I could, I would have done that."

"I mean, aren't you a pretty awesome superhuman? Aren't there any wide-area moves? ”

"Of course there is, but in the current state, once I use it, it will take me half a day to recover, and then you are not looking for death alone?"

"Won't you kill them all at once?"

"It's easy to put it simply, unless they're standing together, and I need a little bit of preparation time."

"If I give you a chance, will you do it?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

Dimmit looked at Leo with some suspicion, and Leo replied with a very confident expression.

"Because, I've already seen the pattern of the Demon Armor's actions."
