Zasant has good news and bad news. The good news was that the woods were not close to either Takofokan or Akiyama City, and it would take about three or four hours for the executioners to take Celia and send her to that place. As long as you hurry up, you can stop the executioner from using Selia to open the box.

The relatively bad news is that the place is too remote, nameless, inaccessible, and has too few forces to assemble, less than 100 people. And they only know the location, as for what is there, they don't know anything.

However, since both the box and Celia are there, it is certain that there will be a building there, and considering the special environment of the woods, the building will not be too high, one floor and two floors. In that case, it may have a large footprint, a large basement, or both. Of course, if it's neither, thank goodness.

Zasant prefers the judgment of the basement, which is consistent with the executioner's usual style. If you use the basement to defend in depth, maybe there will be other enemies in the woods, and when they enter the building, they will come from the outside to counter-encircle, which will have to be guarded against.

So, he divided his troops into two parts, and brought 30 men with him in the rear, to guard against the enemy's ambush in the woods, to ensure a retreat, and to support him at any time if the front was tight.

The other team, led by Lynn, raided the target location and engaged the executors head-on. Akya is placed on Lynn's team, and he has a special task to complete.

Fighting in such an unfamiliar place will become more dangerous the longer it goes, so the rescuer's top priority is Celia, as long as she is rescued, it doesn't matter if the box is abandoned. At this time, it was Akeya's turn to play, and he had to wait for the two sides to exchange fire, as he did in "Nameless", and then look for an opportunity to rush into the building.

Considering the unpredictable terrain outside the building and the structure inside the building, Zasant also prepared two reinforcements for Akeya. The first is Dimmit, who is on the way, and Zasant repeats the relationship between Selia and the box several times, without which Dimmit may not have the patience to help Akya break into the building, but directly level the surface building from the outside.

The second, is Leon.

"If he shows up, I'll allow you to join forces with him for the time being and break into the building. His priority target is definitely also Selia, who has the same interests and can be exploited. ”

On the car to the woods, Zasant made this suggestion to Akeya.

"Even if you don't say it, I'm going to do it."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not just looking for him to help."

Akya glanced at Zasent, and there was a very obvious hostility in his eyes.

"You want to take advantage of the chaos to kill Leon after making sure that Selia is safe, right?"

"Although casualties in battle are not uncommon, since this condition exists, I have to give an account to my dead subordinates. Don't worry, I will send someone over to do it for you, saving you from the critical moment and remembering the old feelings. ”

"I don't need you to worry about it, I also received the mayor's order, and I must do what I need to do!"

"I hope so." Zasant said meaningfully.

*****

Kinetic locking is a tedious process in which the human body uses special drugs to stimulate the kinetic element, observe its response changes, and then let it stabilize within the desired range of values. The difficulty in this matter is that the means used are not as direct as surgery, but a more direct result is obtained. And the change of power element is also affected by emotions, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

The largest room in the basement, empty, with only one bed. There is a small door on one side of the room, and on the other side, floor-to-ceiling glass replaces most of the wall, and there are two doors below. Behind the glass is the operation room, which can be accessed through the two doors below. The lonely door connected the evacuation route.

Celia lay quietly on the bed, her limbs held in place by clasps, a metal headband over her head, and several wires sticking out of her way to the floor. She was just calm on the surface, as if she was asleep, and her mind was already tumbling over, which could be seen from her frowning brows and her closed hands.

In the operation room, two operators are responsible for monitoring the data, two operators prepare drugs and replenish or reduce the dosage as needed at any time, and the white cat is in control of the overall situation behind the four people. The five men had been busy for an hour until Thralofta appeared.

"Mr. Fern!"

"How's it going, white cat?"

"The state of the power element is stabilizing and is basically within the forecast range. But look at that ......"

The white cat pointed to a display above his head, on which several curves were jumping.

"As the energy received by the power element increased, the girl's reaction became more and more intense, a little too strong."

"Too strong? What do you mean? ”

"Uh...... If the energy intensity of the power element exceeds the usual maximum load, the super-capable person will have side effects such as hallucinations and increased physical burden, just like a natural person being eroded by EXP, but it may also remind people of some things. Judging by the strength element intensity chart and the EEG map, it is likely that the girl is dreaming, and it is ...... Reminiscing about past dreams. ”

Serofta laughed with interest: "Specifically? ”

"Because of the nature of power elements, similar to neurons, they may also be involved in the brain's memory process. How exactly it participates is not yet accurately determined, as the human memory process itself is not fully understood. The general situation is that when the brain is remembering, the force element may uncontrollably and automatically help with the memory. It will release EXP and store the memory information in an EXP-like form similar to radio waves, which will be stored in the power element. ”

"But it's still EXP, right? Maybe when they'll be released, right? ”

"Yes, but sometimes, when EXP is released, this part of the information will suddenly return to the hippocampus structure of the brain and automatically recall. So sometimes superpowers will remember something they have forgotten while activating their powers, and this phenomenon is called ......"

"Super Awakening, huh?"

"Yes...... Ay? ”

The white cat was stunned for a while, and then realized that he was a bit of an axe.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fern!"

"Hahaha, it's okay, seeing that you're too busy, I can't help but want to adjust the atmosphere. Go ahead. ”

After greeting the other operators, Thralofta left satisfied, and the white cat let out a sigh of relief and returned to work.

Under the effect of the drug, Celia's power element receives a stable EXP input from the outside world, but constantly releases an irregular EXP of intensity, which shows that her power element has not adapted to the current changes, and only when it stabilizes can the power element lock be considered successful.

Although Serofta didn't say it, his presence here was in itself a signal of urgency. The white cat did not dare to slack off, and quickly discussed with the operators.

"Add 2.5 units and then increase the EXP output by another 40%."

The operators here are busy, and Celia over there is still drowsy. From the moment she lay in bed and injected the medicine, she gradually lost the concept of time. Everything around quickly dimmed, and in its place, there was only one scene, vague, the same scene that turned over and over.

She was held by a woman, and there was a man beside her, and in front of her was a boy, little by little, leaving herself, walking forward, without looking back. Gradually, the boy could not see it, and Selia's eyes became blurry. But soon, the scene will reappear.

After changing countless times, Celia gradually saw the faces of the man and woman, as well as the boy's face. The boy walked forward again, this time there was another person in front of the boy, and Celia couldn't see the man or woman clearly, only that the man was tall.

"Don't ......"

She tried to stretch out her hand, but as soon as she stretched it out, she was startled, these little white and fat hands, almost like a baby, wait, how did she become a baby?

The boy was walking forward again, and Celia stretched out her hand and shouted, but there was no sound. After a while, the surroundings became blurry again.

This time, the scene didn't return, and Celia felt her consciousness begin to drift away, muttering to herself, repeating the last thing she had been shouting.

"Brother...... Brother ......"

*****

It was 2 p.m. sharp.

The party of the rescuers finally entered the woods. According to Zasente's deployment, the assault team led by Lin walked in front, and Zasente took the rest of the people to break the rear. An Akeya in the air kept his distance from both sides, and he had to make sure that he was not spotted by the oncoming enemy when the battle began, so that he could infiltrate the building.

Today's Lynn carries her favorite gun "Black Fire", a 140 cm long sniper rifle similar in appearance to the Bar^Lei^Tee series, but with many sockets and hardpoints on the body, which can be installed with a variety of special parts. Lynn carried the black musket with the barrel down behind her back, and even then she was able to maintain her normal movement speed.

"Let's go, keep your eyes open."

The soldiers made their way through the dense woods, moving cautiously, carefully checking each tree for traps and abnormalities around. In such woods, gunfights can easily turn into hand-to-hand combat, and in order to effectively deal with sudden approaching enemies, soldiers are equipped with sabers on their muzzles, which can be used directly or quickly disassembled.

There were no animals in the woods, and there was no wind today, so I could hear nothing but the sparse footsteps. The rescuer advanced more than five hundred meters, still without encountering the enemy.

Lin raised her hand to signal the soldiers to stop first, found a tree to squat behind, took out her mobile phone, and calculated according to the map sent by Zasente, the target location was still more than 500 meters away from them. As a rule of thumb, when this distance is shortened to about 200 meters, it is time to encounter the defenders.

"Huh?"

In the still picture in front of her, there is suddenly a little bit of "dynamic element", which is fleeting in Lynn's field of vision. Just in front of it, separated by several trees, but it was still keenly captured by Lynn.

She silently drew her pistol, aimed it in the direction, aimed it casually for a while, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Ahh

Screams rang out along with the gunshots, followed by an executioner soldier holding his shoulders and rolling out from behind a tree more than 50 meters ahead.

"Spread out, assault!"

The battle began. The Rescuer soldiers immediately spread out, shooting all suspicious places with bullets. The executioner soldiers were exposed, and they had to retreat and fight. However, after retreating more than ten meters, the executioner stabilized his position and began to fight back.

Lin confirmed the location again, yes, more than 500 meters away from the target location, I didn't expect the executor's defense line to be so open, maybe they have quite enough manpower, then they must advance carefully to avoid attrition.

"Akya, do you hear me? You continue to lurk, waiting for your chance. It's a bit far from the target location, and there could be more people there. ”

However, only Akya's objection could be heard from the communicator: "If you continue to press, the people in their stronghold will naturally go out to meet them." Can't waste time, I'm going now! ”

Despite Lynn's obstruction, Akeya rounded the battlefield and sped up to his goal. Lin gritted her teeth, she had to speed up, otherwise more and more enemies would come to reinforce later, and it would be difficult to break through at that time.

After a firefight, the number of bullets coming from the opposite side had decreased significantly, and Lynn couldn't wait to tell the team to move on.

The cold is unguarded, and the leaves above the head are chaotic, which looks extremely discordant in this windless weather. Lin quickly looked up, only to see a man emerge from the top of the tree, and the weapon fell vertically along with the body. Lin, who was still crouching, rolled sideways, and immediately showed her twin guns after pulling away, giving the figure who landed a few bullets. The man flicked a shot with his knife and dodged again.

"Fangs, it's you!"

Lynn muttered discontentedly, she saw the last thing she wanted to see. The soldiers around him wanted to come over to help, but Lin shouted at him.

"Let's go! This guy is not up to you! ”

"But Captain Lynn ......"

"Don't forget what we're for, go!"

The soldiers took the order, threw down Lynn and continued to advance. Lynn stared nervously at Fangs, her hands holding the gun sweaty.

She is not afraid of fangs, and even in close combat, the two can fight to a draw. But if Fangs chase after other soldiers, there's little she can do in this environment. And there are not many rescuers in the first place, and the loss of a soldier at the moment will have a big impact.

However, unexpectedly, Fangs had no intention of chasing the soldiers at all, and let them go. Two folding knives were set in his hand, and the fangs were straight at Lynn's muzzle.

Bang two shots, Lynn's bullets couldn't stop Fang's pace, and the distance was pulled to a meter. Seeing the opponent's knife slashing over, Lin blocked it with a pistol and took two steps back. Fangs predicted where Lynn was retreating, and rushed over first, raising another knife and stabbing Lynn in the throat.

What he didn't expect was that Lin didn't dodge left and right, but retreated backwards with a larger movement, and his body was unbalanced, as if he was falling backwards. This opportunity fangs naturally can't be let go, step on a heavy step, raise a knife and cut it.

Lin sneered, hooked the muzzle of the black fire with her right foot, and lifted it up, and the black fire that she was carrying suddenly came sideways, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the fangs. At the same time, Lin just hit a tree, her body suddenly stopped, and the fangs of the attack could not stop, and his stomach was just against the muzzle of the black fire!

"Zero distance, bye-bye!"

*****

Akya, who had taken the lead in the first step, quickly crossed the last 500 meters of distance, and the executioner's stronghold came into view, carefully hiding behind a tree, repeatedly observing his surroundings.

It was completely different from what I expected, there was no one at the door, and when I looked into the courtyard, I could only see a small part of the area, and I couldn't see anyone, so I guessed it was hidden. If you enter through the courtyard gate, you will definitely be ambushed. Fortunately, this wall is not very high, and it may be safer to find a suitable place to climb over it.

Akya was about to move when he suddenly saw someone rushing out of the woods from another direction and rushing straight into the courtyard gate.

"Leon!"

He really won't be absent. Akeya immediately changed his plan, and Leon rushed in to test it, and his safety factor could be said to have skyrocketed. He jumped out of hiding and rushed in.

As soon as he crossed the courtyard gate, Akeya realized that he had stepped on the right foot, and there were indeed people in the courtyard, and Leon was confronting them.

But these people don't look like executioners.

There were twelve of them, all dressed in purple-black cloaks and ornate black gowns, eleven of them wearing white masks that covered their eyes and noses, and one standing at the front of the procession. He didn't wear a mask, his eyebrows were clear, but his face was fierce and murderous.

"WAITED FOR YOU FOR A LONG TIME, SHADOW, YOU DYNIC DISGRACE!"

The man spat out a cruel word and waved his hand, and the others swung on either side, trying to surround Leon. Akya hurried over and went back to back with Leon. So they gathered them in the middle, and the twelve men were arranged in a circle like a clock, and they stood as evenly as the numbers on a clock.

"Sounds like they're not executioners, they're more like people related to you." Akya said.

"Don't ask me." Leon said, and asked the caller, "Which family are you from?" ”

"Listen carefully! I am the family of Infinis, the head of the Durdain family, Dinnick Infinis Durdán Chasol! ”

With a loud self-report, Chasol's cloak glowed purple-black. Akya didn't know what the Infinis family was, but listening to the name of the parent, and looking at this posture, he also knew that the opponent was not easy to mess with. Leon also drew his dagger early and waited for it.

"How did you find this?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, we have a pact with the executioners to help them eliminate the invaders, and they will bring you here! When they get rid of you invaders, they'll hand over your sister! SHADOW, show your identity! Your brother and sister are traitors to the Bourne family, the evil seed left behind by Hughes! Isn't it? ”

Leon didn't answer, thinking about something else. Listening to Chasol's tone, they also saw Celia, and it was no wonder that the executioner would not easily reveal his most important chips if he wanted to make these outsiders obedient.

As long as Selia's identity has not been revealed to the family, Leon has no worries.

"Don't pull me back, Akya, these guys aren't easy to deal with."

"I can see that it's the elite of their family, right?"

"The Durdain division of the Infinis family is the strongest fighting power among all seven branches, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the elite of the elite."

"Heh, it seems that there is less luck in the ferocity, but it is exactly what I want!"

Just when the two of them were mustering up their strength and preparing for a big battle, a whirlwind suddenly rolled up around them inexplicably, soaring into the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a person falling freely from a high altitude, cushioned by the wind, and landed steadily.

The brown trench coat, green messy hair, and black eye patches are enough to shock the aura of the people on the left and right, making a stone fall to the ground in Akeya's heart, and even more stunned Chasol.

"Are you, Harruf Raymond Dimitt?"

"Exactly down there."

Dimmit glanced around nonchalantly, his gaze falling on Leon.

"Go find me the box, I'll deal with these guys."

"Do you want me to believe you?"

"Hmph, your little cleverness is useless here. Get out of the way! ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

With that, Leon rushed towards the door of the lab, followed by Akeya. Chasol was willing to let them go, and was about to make a move to stop them, when Dimmit's hand condensed a ball of light, pinched and exploded hard, emitting a dazzling bright light. The twelve men couldn't help but cover their eyes, and when they opened again, Akeya and Leon were nowhere to be seen.

"Damit Dimmit, bad for us! Did you get Marvio's information here? ”

Chasol rubbed his eyes and blinked twice harder, he had been shaken quite hard just now.

"You said Dior?"

"Don't be confused, we know you and Malvio are working together to get things done! He can't get out of it this time! ”

"Why is it still on Dior?"

"We already know that SHADOW has lived a stable life in Golfgang for more than two years, and this must be the result of the Will family's cover-up! But it doesn't matter, we, Infinis, will sanction the Will family on behalf of all the Dynicks! ”

"Isn't it possible, did you send someone to make trouble in Xaviertown?"

"It's not a disturbance! This is to uphold the traditions and justice of our people! ”

"What you like to maintain, it has nothing to do with me, but I still have to tell you."

Dimmit took off his coat, threw it on the ground, and moved his wrists again to warm up.

"Even I won't be rough on his turf easily, those people in your family are dead!"

*****

It was 2 p.m. sharp.

The bell-like doorbell rings in Dior's castle. Normally this sound only rings once, but today's visitors don't seem to have the patience to keep ringing. Dior, who was reading a book in the study, frowned, put down the book, walked out of the study, and went straight to the entrance hall.

James, Taaffe, and the maids were already lining up in the hall, and they hadn't heard of any guests coming today, so everyone was a little caught off guard. Seeing Dio come out, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me." Dio said, "James, who? ”

"It's from the Infinis family."

"Infinis? What are they here for? ”

"They say ......"

Before they finished speaking, everyone clearly heard the sound of an explosion in the courtyard and the sound of something falling to the ground. Dio got everyone ready, and he stood facing the door, waiting for the uninvited guest to arrive.

Soon, an explosion came from outside the door, and then the whole door "boomed" and slammed to the ground, and more than two dozen people poured into the hall.

"Come out, Malvio!"

The leader was tall and full of anger into these six words, and the voice shouted echoed through the hall. Dior took a step forward with his hands behind his back.

"Who am I, Your Excellency?"

"The emissary of the Prithian division of the Infinis family, Prithian Rondo!"

"It's a blessing. Dare to ask Your Excellency, why didn't you break down the door before I opened it? Why is it so hard-hitting? ”

"Don't pretend to be Sven here, don't you know what you've done?" Rondo yelled at Dior's nose.

"Please make it clear."

"You are shielding the traitor of the Bourne family, son of Hughes! We've found out that he's SHADOW, who has made a makeover in Gaufgang and is living a good life! This must be the Will family secretly helping, and his sister, who was also hidden by your Will family, right? Maybe you raised it! ”

Dior listened quietly to the other party's nonsense, and what came to mind was several phone calls from Dimmit in the morning. In this way, the Infinis family may have cooperated with the executioner, and the matter of SHADOW was also heard from the executioner.

"Akito doesn't say dark words, Gao Fugang does have the power of my Will family, and I did help SHADOW hide his identity."

"Ha, it's hard to admit it!"

"I'd like to explain this to the head of Infinis as well."

"Explain the!" Rondo shouted, and the shadow in his hand continued to condense EXP, "Those who harbor traitors are guilty of the same crime as traitors!" On behalf of all the famous Dinniks, the Infinis family wants to sanction you! ”

"Huh, sanction me?"

Dio smiled lightly, turned slowly, and paced up the stairs.

"Then give it a try. James, accompany me to the study. Taffy, leave the messenger, and the rest is at will. ”

"Yes, Master Dior."

James replied with a bowel and followed Dio upstairs. Rondo saw that Dio was so unsightly, and he didn't feel angry.

"You still want to run!?"

He was about to catch up when Taffy quickly stopped him.

"This guest, please stay."

"Fuck off! The next person is not qualified to talk to me! ”

"That's what I should say, miscellaneous!"

Taffy, who couldn't bear it for a long time, looked calm from the bottom up, but with a fierce expression.

"With your level, you are not qualified to let Master Dior make a move, let us play with you!"

"Presumptuous! All ready! ”

Rondo's men showed off their weapons, and Tafei clapped his hands and ordered the maids without even looking at them.

"The person who is responsible for cleaning up the first floor today stays, and the others return to their posts, but you can't delay your work because of this."

"Yes, head maid."

Listening to Tafy's order, a large number of maids saluted and left. Originally, there were about forty maids in front of the door, but now there are only seven of them, including Tafei. When Rondo saw this formation, his lungs were about to explode.

"You slut! How dare you underestimate us? ”

"Haha, don't be angry."

Taffy snapped his fingers, only to see that the maid outfits on the six maids were instantly wrapped in purple-black light, and then twisted into clothes and pants, and when the light faded, their clothes were changed into black tights, and they carried a pair of short swords behind them. Taffy changed his outfit in the same way, and then everyone pulled out their short swords in unison, and as soon as the two swords touched, the blade immediately gushed out with shadow poison.

The maid shook the sword in her hand, tilted her head, and smiled at the lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of her.

"Come on, everyone, it's hospitality time!"
