106 Second stage
Adjusted my position, I landed firmly on the ground, and the weight of my body and weapon put considerable pressure on my feet, forcing me to bend and cushion. Tomie and Billy were less than a meter apart from each other, making the sound of falling to the ground.
The landing area is the top of an abandoned building, and the surrounding scenery is somewhat familiar. There is a certain difference between walking on the street and looking at the street scene from above, especially at night, even if the neon lights flicker, the light cannot penetrate the night shadow like a hazy veil, and the large blocks of darkness distort the scenery in the memory, and only by finding the iconic high-rise buildings can you have a conceptual understanding of your own position.
It's still a long way from the busiest downtown area, and I don't come there very often, so I only pass by bus. The building was planned as an iconic commercial building in the area three years ago, but today it is still only a concrete shell. Probably due to the lack of funds, the construction has long been stopped, but the outer scaffolding has not been removed.
Day or night, when passing by this lifeless abandoned building, it gives people a rather awkward sense of disobedience.
The tracks of the machines that catapulted us ran through the building, and the exit was at one of the patios.
"Every time I use this thing, it always makes people feel good." Billy said.
"What kind of machine is this?" Tomie asked.
"I don't know the name of the road, but I know that the road is the same as that slide, and part of it uses the techniques of the ruling bureau." Billy shrugged, "I know the guy who designed this thing, and I'll introduce you to you next time." ”
"It's exciting." Tomie said with interest.
"What now? Are you going to meet up with the others? I asked.
"That's a lot of energy, boy." Bi said in an exaggerated tone, pulling out a remote control from his arms, "But before we can explain the tasks of the second stage, there is one last thing to do. ”
He looked towards the location of the secret base, but because of the reduced height, he couldn't see the collapsed building. Although the goat union's actions are huge, they will be able to use the excuse of "demolishing old houses" to get through the situation afterwards, without worrying about causing turmoil.
Billy pressed the button on the remote control, and there was a commotion on the other side, and the sound from the distance was not real, and it quickly fell down.
"That's it, the limited weapons in the arsenal can't fall into the hands of the enemy." He said.
I felt a pity when I thought that so many Limit Weapons would have been destroyed, and if it weren't for the Goats' Guild's detection, this secret base would have been built as a bridgehead. It's a pity that it was captured by the enemy before it could officially operate, and the city has completely fallen under the clutches of the goat guild from now on?
"Even if they win the first game, the fight isn't over yet." Billy sneered.
I threw quarks into the sky. The quark flapped its wings and flew high, and a moment later it seemed to have spotted something, hovering in the night sky around the area. That direction is between the abandoned building and the secret base. I instantly understood what Quark was trying to say.
"They seem to have tracked us down."
"So fast?" Billy's face was a little solemn, "Let's go, the high-level guy is here." ”
As he spoke, he walked briskly to the rooftop. Tomie and I followed, and he leaned over and looked down to tell us that the car was underneath.
"Time is urgent, let's take shortcuts." He tilted his head and looked at us, "No problem, right?" ”
I understood that the shortcut he was referring to was to jump from here.
"Who do you think we are?" Tomie sneered disdainfully, grabbed the chainsaw and jumped out.
At a height of nearly 100 meters, her figure went straight through the gap in the scaffolding, and without even making a cushion on the way, she just landed on the ground, and then stood up straight and waved at us.
Billy made an inhaling sound.
"This monster."
I also deeply feel the same way, although everyone's physique strengthened with gray stone will be different, but the extent of her improvement is too amazing, obviously there is a huge gap with the essence of ordinary people. According to the diary that deals with memories in Doomsday Vision, she reached the D-Rank before entering Doom Vision. I've seen good students who are called "geniuses", but they can't be compared to Tomie at all, and she is the real genius.
"Let's go down too." Billy jumped out of the rooftop, jumping back and forth between the scaffolding.
I jumped out of the hook as I had done countless times, popping the hook from the device on my wrist, using the pulley to reduce my speed, and then releasing the hook ten meters above the ground, and landing next to Tomie with my suitcase.
Billy landed almost at the same time.
Not far from us, a domestic sedan was parked against the construction wall, and Billy pulled out the key to open the door.
Tomie opened the passenger door and sat in, shoved the chainsaw behind the seat, and I got into the back seat with my suitcase.
As soon as I rolled down the window, Quark immediately got in.
Billy starts his engine, drives the car off the jobsite, and soon merges into the traffic. No one spoke along the way, the air was a little dull, Tomie in the rearview mirror held the back of his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, and I looked out the back window from time to time, always feeling that the enemy would appear. Pedestrians, signs, and car shadows flow quietly on the glass, and the lights add a strange layer of brilliance to them, and the world in view seems illusory and unreal.
"Now I'm going to explain what to do next." Billy broke his silence at this point, saying, "The Goats Guild is trying to create an advent circuit in this city, and if it does, it will cause quite a serious repercussion within the world, and even break the existing situation between the Security Bureau, the Authority, and the New Governing Bureau." Our mission is to stop it, but the goats are well prepared for this operation, we have already failed twice, and now we have the last chance to fail. ”
"What is the advent circuit?" Tomie asked.
"To put it simply, it's a huge and stable node." Billy's gaze bounced off the rearview mirror, "You know what the Dao node is, right?" ”
I nodded, and in the description of the diary, it was a peculiar point of return to reality from the apocalyptic illusion.
"The node is not stable, it can only exist for a certain time, and the node can only be summoned by using the node to summon demons, and it is only a low-level demon."
"Low-level? Are you sure? Tomie opened his eyes and his expression became serious.
The demon that possessed Sakuya was summoned from the node, and it was a monster that could not be fought against with a limited weapon, and even if Tomie and I joined forces, we could only take advantage of the loophole to temporarily seal it.
Even if it's such a powerful guy, it's still only low-level?
"There's no evidence, we've only encountered demons summoned by the node so far, but the news of the psychic medium can't go wrong, those guys are just low-level demons." Billy's voice was also a little dry.
"Once the advent circuit is complete, you can summon more powerful demons?"
"The advent loop is a series of nodes connected and fixed, and this kind of technique is probably only possessed by the doomsday truth that has inherited a large number of domination techniques, and it will not be long before it is possessed. Once the advent circuit is completed, it is certain that the monsters in the Doomsday Fantasy can escape smoothly, and the other ......" Billy said in a deep voice: "If you just summon a high-level demon, then it's better, if you can summon a low-level demon steadily, the situation will be even more serious." The Prophet was not sure which one it was, but both possibilities were very likely. ”
"In such a serious situation, there are no reinforcements?"
"The people who were able to get out came, but because it wasn't a definite thing, it was hard to convince the people at headquarters to draw in people who were fighting on other fronts. This is also the first time we have learned about the advent circuit, and there is no precedent before. ”
